Sunny morning, the birds chirped cheerfully in the tree that grows in the yard of a house. There were voices of children playing in the yard. "Let's kick the ball louder," Ramdan asked Fernia. "How could I kick the ball harder, I'm a girl," said Fernia. "Argh .. it's not good to have a younger sister, you can't play football," said Ramdan irritably. Fernia was insinuated by the words of her sister, "Well then, you just play alone". "Yes, just kick the ball as hard as you! I just got angry, you know that you don't have any friends here, ”said Ramdan, smiling so that his younger brother would accompany him to play soccer.

Ramdan, Fernia and their parents just moved house yesterday afternoon. They moved house because his father was transferred as a police officer.

This time Fernia kicks the ball really hard. The ball soars so high that Ramdan can't catch it. "Wow, the ball went into the yard next to Fer" Ramdan pointed to the yard of the house next door. “Hurry up and take the ball Fer! lost later ”. "After all, how come I was told to take it, my brother told me to kick it harder" Fernia was annoyed at her sister's behavior. "You kicked it, so you took it" said Ramdan, glaring.

Fernia was forced to go to their neighbor's yard. The short fence he jumped easily.

Arriving at the yard, Fernia began looking for her sister's ball. He searched all corners of the yard but could not find the ball.

"Huh, where are the balls? How come there isn't, ”complained Fernia. "Did you enter the house?" thought Fernia. Fernia looked at the house and walked towards it. However, before arriving at the house, Fernia saw a woman with long hair wearing a white dress looking at him from behind the window. Fernia was shocked and immediately shouted "Aarghh ... Ghost!".

Ramdan, who heard his sister's scream, immediately ran looking for him. Found Fernia crying in fear. Ramdan, who was confused, asked his younger brother, "What's wrong, Fer?". "There's a ghost sis" said Fernia, holding back her tears. "Ha, where's the ghost?" asked Ramdan curiously. Fernia pointed to one of the windows on the first floor. Ramdan looks towards the window but there is nothing there. Where? There are no ghosts, ”said Ramdan disappointed. "But there was a girl wearing a white dress, sis," explained Fernia. "Ah you, watching too much TV makes you cowardly" snapped Ramdan. Then Ramdan invited his younger brother to come home.

At night it rained heavily. Ramdan grumbled in his room "Huh because Fernia lost my favorite ball". The annoyed Ramdan finally fell asleep.

Diaarrr… the sound of thunder sounded very loud. Ramdan wakes up from his sleep. He looked at the clock on the wall in his room. It's still 3 in the morning. "Oh, how cold is it really?" said Ramdan quietly. It turned out that Ramdan forgot to close his bedroom window. Ramdan got up from his bed to close the window. As he was about to close the window Ramdan looked outside. What a coincidence, Ramdan's bedroom window faces directly towards the neighbor's house, which Fernia says is haunted.

Diaarrr… suddenly the sound of thunder sounded again. The lightning light lit the night for a few seconds. In that few seconds Ramdan saw a woman with long hair wearing a white dress looking at him from the side of the window which was directly opposite the window of Ramdan's room which was on the second floor. Ramdan is shocked by what he sees, he is unable to move for a moment.

Finally, Ramdan realized, he immediately closed the window of his room and ran towards his bed. On top of his bed Ramdan was so scared he couldn't stop shaking. He was still in the shadow of the incident he had just experienced.

The next morning, at breakfast Ramdan told his parents about all the events he had experienced. However, Ramdan's parents did not believe what his son said. "Ah, maybe you're just a dream Dan" said Father. "No. Well, Ramdan is not dreaming, Fernia saw him yesterday afternoon too." Ramdan replied irritably. "Yes. Well, Fernia saw too" said Fernia. Father just laughed at the stories of his children. "Come on, let's quickly finish breakfast and later go to school, this is your first day at the new school," said Mama, who was getting tired of hearing the stories of her children. "Yes Ma" replied Ramdan and Fernia.

One o'clock in the afternoon Ramdan came home from school. After reaching the house, Ramdan saw his mother talking to a woman. The woman looked at Ramdan. "Wow, this is Ramdan huh?" asked the woman. "Yes, Ramdan is my first child," said Mama Ramdan. "Ramdan, let's greet aunt Heni" asked Mama to Ramdan. Ramdan greeted aunt Heni.

"Aunt Heni who has a house next to us, she rarely comes home because her job as a clothes designer requires her to often go out of town," Mama explained. "Ramdan ... Mama, did you tell me that Ramdan saw a ghost at aunt's house?" asked Heni's aunt with a smile. "Yes aunt, aunt's house is haunted huh?" replied Ramdan. Aunt Heni and Mama laughed. Ramdan confused to see Mama and aunt heni laughing. "Why do you laugh?". "Look, Ramdan, you are wrong, what you see is not a ghost but a mannequin belonging to aunt that aunt put near the window on the second floor. Auntie has a lot of mannequins to be used as a model for the dress that aunt made in the mannequins. Auntie also gave me wigs to make them look like real humans, "explained Heni's aunt. Ramdan was embarrassed when he heard the explanation from Heni's aunt "oh so it's just a mannequin, auntie". "Eat so a boy, don't be afraid," said Mama. "Yes Ma ... Ramdan change clothes first, Ma" said Ramdan as he climbed the stairs to his room.

Not long after that, Heni's aunt said goodbye to Mama, she wanted to go out of town again because she had work. In the car, aunt Heni just felt something strange. "How strange is it that I put the mannequin only on the second floor, but why did Fernia also see a woman wearing a white dress with long hair on the first floor?".
