A moment when all citizens have turn scoop dish, Relina staring out the door, she caught a glimpse of a girl with long hair white dress walked across the hall towards the hall. The move was floated as she set foot on the floor. Relina never recognize such a girl, she was like Cica, but it certainly is not, Cica never wore a white dress, she would have turned to the room when passing in front of the door. The form did not even seem real, more like a film negative shadow. Relina silent, she recalled the story of a ghost that has always circulated by word of mouth, perhaps earlier figure is one form of the story.

The meal continues to pass the quiet hours, Relina should pack the dishes, clean the whole room, the next day as usual she was washing dishes, bowls, and glasses dirty.

Soraya and residents of Block E are also coming in asking for rations. Murni sincerely share the clothes that had been prepared, she will understand the custom of the people boarding at parting. And he had to beg to seniors who have graduated and had to leave the hostel.

Finally Murni goodbye, walking around from room to room, she would apologize for any errors that may have been done. Relina get a quiet room atmosphere when Murni is really gone, she often gives a warning with harsh words, indeed it attitude. While the message on a white paper with the same exact scrape blade skinned. However, Relina never know Murni hate, they just do not have a longer time to get to know each other. Relina also feel sad when Sartika been to go room to take leave, the new graduate about to return to Bali for work in the area of ​​origin. Hannah was still living in the dorms to do co-assistant for more than two years later after taking oath, Hana will also be visiting from room to room to take leave to go.

In recent years the block E always get first place in the race hygiene blocks. Block E has fresh flowers and ornamental plants and hanging pots that no other block, this advantage is a plus. The jury could see that the whole room and block clean and tidy, but the beauty that is created from ornamental plants and flowers alive the added value that can not be bargained.

Dita started to tidy up around the room, remove all dust with a damp cloth, arranging books, decorate walls and table with handicraft hands. "Re, we must begin to tidy up the room, the sooner the better, last year we got the first prize blocks for race hygiene, neatness and beauty of the room also adds assessment. Our room was not neat enough, but should also be beautiful, we have a champion. Let's clean up your room!

At 16.00 pm when the jury comes to assessing the cleanliness and beauty of the blocks very carefully, they look really entranced. Four of the jurors came from women's organizations under the auspices of the university. The jury first technical meeting held by the committee to determine the criteria then the judging begins. The jury began visiting from block to block and from room to room, dorm residents trailing behind to compare the cleanliness of the block respectively. Arriving in block E troupe jury did not immediately go into the room to assess the beauty in them, they walked back and forth along the corridor enjoy a series of plants that have been laid out neatly.

"We are coming to the paradise ...." one resident of the other blocks speaking quietly, half-rap, half-sarcastic. They have been advised of the victory of the block E at every race hygiene, although the jury always judge objectively, but victory always frustrating for the losers, especially those not receiving any champion.

The jury seemed satisfied with the cleanliness and beauty of block E, the group continued to tour into the block F into the room by room, proceed to block G and H. Finally juried finished, the jury adding up the value of each room as well as a block and then post a review before announcing the winner.

"Good evening brothers are sweet, so happy, that we can met and had the opportunity to visit the dormitories in order the jury race hygiene and beauty as well as a block of rooms. There are a few notes before we announce the winners: First, that all the blocks and the rooms are clean and neat in principle, but there is added value for the block as well as the winner, for several reasons. Among other things, the beauty of decorating the block with a variety of plants and decorate the room with art objects. Secondly, there are some very impressive things, that many of the people who put pictures of the parents on a desk or wall. There was one room with a different ornament at each place residents, one resident put the sign of the cross while people in the same room displaying calligraphy. This shows the lack of tolerance in the dorm life. Third, there are some rooms that puts objects should not, as under the table while the shoe is placed on a table laid out food, this is not healthy. Finally, this race is principally aimed at maintaining the cleanliness of the hostel in totality. Should not only clean dorms at the race, but also in everyday life. The winners may not be great head while the losers do not be discouraged. In the race for sure nothing to lose and there is also a win. So thing, that the jury's decision can not be contested, "the whole room silent, all waiting in suspense who should come out as winners.

"Okay, now it's time for me on behalf of the jury announced the win. The third champion to race a gorgeous room with a value of three hundred and fifty rooms achieved by three of the blocks A, "thundered applause greeted the victory.

"First-prize with a value of three hundred and thirty-seven won by Room 28 of Block G", the applause and the screams were louder than the previous one. Residents of the room owner hugged each other, so that the jury could not help but smile.

"Well, the first prize with a value of three hundred and eighty-five was achieved by block E", the silence was shattered by the explosion instantly cheers and applause, especially from residents block E. Part of the sportive people involved clapping and laughing, but some are disgruntled, unhappy, and less envy. "Up here the announcement of the winners, once again the jury's decision can not be contested. Thank you. "
Not long after the meeting is completed and even then, the committee dies natalist drove back to the jury at the front gate with all gratitude. Residents of Block E again gathered to celebrate the victory, they cook super noodles to a large bowl and eat them together. Relina, the new residents slowly began to dissolve in the dorm life together.

While other activities and continue to follow the race in accordance with the scheduled agenda. The series closes with evening art events attended by the rector and her mother and other invitees. Finally, the evaluation committee held accountable for all that has been given the mandate.

So life in the dorm continues, the main activity of the people is to learn, while various activities especially in celebrating graduation day, dies natalist, acceptance of new residents, religious activities also involve the presence of coloured men hostel at once to test the creativity and ability of citizens to appreciate the advantages beyond the ability to pursue a graduate diploma. In the absence of such activities hostel atmosphere will die, be tenuous relationship between citizens and each individual will be apathetic.

As with any other residents who live Dita day after day with one main goal, completed the study. Dita is a degree candidate majoring in agricultural social economy, she had undergone eighty per cent of the learning process. There are two things she should be doing, to follow Field Work and complete the thesis with a proposal that has been approved. Dita smart student, she did not experience problems in matters of learning. Lecturers loving, open time and support for thesis writing.

Thesis is often a "ghost" for some students, so some of them are giving up, failed to gain a bachelor's degree after many back and forth to campus to saturate the liver flavour. Dita was having trouble on this one, the problem is only a matter of time for her thesis, she will soon finalize and get an A after the Field Work. Overnight Dita "puppet" studying all night for the last semester exam preparation. She returned from college in a state of tired, but happy, because the whole matter can be done well, she will not get a grade of C. Fatigue makes Dita starvation, after she ate lunch dishes in the dining room, a sense of sleepy come.

Moments after putting the bag lectures and dressed with negligee Dita drift, the girl fell asleep so soundly, until she felt the atmosphere had changed into a dark light. Relina afternoon to go to college and go straight to the cinema to watch her favourite artist's actions, she would not be back in the evening. Dita awake in shock when she suddenly saw a shadow boy noticed the whole middle of the room and stared at him for long. Dita moment failed to win the whole consciousness, she began shouting frantically, "Hey ....!! you're a ghost or a human??!! "

"I'm human ....!" The little boy apparently no less surprised than Dita, she did not think that a man who was sleeping soundly can be awake and screaming with the sudden frenzy. The boy rose ran helter-skelter, apparently fearing arrest and interrogation. Residents dormitories famous grumpy and fussy, she did not dare to take risks.

Dita glued, it takes several minutes to realize its existence, the room in the room had been turned into a dimly lit, as the lights dim. Dita getting out of bed, she pressed a switch located near the door frame, so that the space in the room was lit up. She was also lit the lamp in the hall, the darkness immediately pulled over. The atmosphere in the quiet block, in contrast to the atmosphere, when Murni is still there. Murni is very fond of cooking and food shopping, she never difficult to meet food needs, as Murni never enjoyed cooking alone. She will call all citizens or anybody there to assemble a meal together.

Dita won powdered milk mixed with brown sugar and then fix with hot water that is stored in a thermos. Hot water will be filled every night by a cook, thermoses that has been vacant brought down to the kitchen is placed on a large table. In the early morning, the empty flask will be filled again, there are hands that cook responsible for it.

The girl drank chocolate milk slowly until the glass is empty and even then already. Dita looked dark atmosphere in front of her with all her hopes, she the daughter of a farmer who survive from the garden. Dita never regret a fate that followed, she has a mother who loves father, parents who think simple and aware of everything that can not be possessed and owned. Each month the mother send a money order in the amount is minimal, Dita had to downsize, she can walk to go to college, the distance from the hostel to the campus not far away. Lucky, she has a sharp mind, the supervisor offered him as an assistant, that means after graduation thesis tested again she will be hard to find a job. Opportunities as professors have grasped in the hand. Dita writing articles in the newspaper, even though she was an agricultural degree candidate, but his attention was never spared from the national situation keeps changing. Honour received from the media relating to the writing used sparingly, she would need more than the cost to complete the thesis and to fund corruption. Parents will not be able to give more than a given pocket money every month.

Dita enjoy solitude in the corridor, she was not too happy to join with the residents of the hostel blocks. All actions are always suspected, she hangs out with anyone without distinction as to race, religion, and class. She was very friendly with Murni, a devout Catholic to the bone marrow, she also attended a series of events organized to celebrate Christmas in a Christian citizen. She was cordially invited to eat with good information, which is clear of dishes and can not be touched. She was still a Muslim, even though being in the middle of the Christians.

However, some nosy mouth to whisper, that it tends to be a Christian and intend to convert. Residents of the block to the other room for any purpose is always supervised, Dita offended. Religion is a businessman and God, not between man and another nosy mouth. She founded pray five times as a form of accountability, not the fear of members of the community, that she did not become a true Muslim.

Gradually suspicions of nosy mouths never proof, Dita still friends with anyone citizens reaching out in friendship. Although nosy mouths were no longer speak, but Dita restraint, she took as a student the right to occupy this building, it has a requirement for it. The rest she concentrated on learning, steps to achieve a bachelor's degree and a career as a lecturer pioneering live span. Given this Dita will smile, she has a goal, to fund his parents went to the Holy Land. Dita understands how her mother and father will miss it.

The clock showed eight o'clock, but  Dita and all the other people do not hear the sound of the gong struck. Customers visiting preoccupation chatted and had left the room before nine in the evening with a rebuke from the board. Mr Badi, the night watchman forgot to close the door and windows of the living room. The next morning a small commotion going on, the board boarding confusion, the usual gong was beaten as a sign of quiet hours are no longer dependent on the place, a night watchman near the bed which is located next to the food warehouse.
"How gong to disappear?" Sunarti amazed at this little event, why thieves should take the gong instead of value. Strange, but that's the reality. With the help of some residents, Sunarti gong around trying to find the hostel, but the noun "antique" is still not found. Eventually, they gave up.
From the top floor Dita looked amused this incident, she also wondered why gong, worthless objects that could be stolen. Who is the culprit, but the kids are fun. Dita remembered the little boy looked at her while she was asleep and ran scared when asked, are you a ghost or a human being? The whole dorm knew that young boys who often play around the dorm, and even use the volleyball court to play football in the wild, often commit petty theft such as flower pots or any objects that lay on the table. Most likely culprit boy, what a little boy watching the people boarding asleep if it were not for harm. But how did the gong could be recovered, the identity of the little boy and even then is not known?
"Mr Badi, what would be the guardian of the night, it could disappear if the gong?" Dita asked the night watchman who was sitting smoking a cigarette in the living room engrossed in the administration. Dita thought the night watchman would be confounded, because of his error, but it did not.

"It’s just the lost gong ,  why confused? The important thing is not sister  Dita are stolen. Stuff it was time move, there will be a return ", casually Mr Badi still smoke cigarettes, he knows people will continue to question the dorm gong missing. It has been a dozen years as a night watchman in place and recognize almost all residents temperament. Dita including citizen-friendly and can respect anyone who was in the hostel. Various events have imprinted, he is a living testimony to all the changes that have and will happen in the dorm. During this event, there was never really dangerous. If only a gong to disappear, whatever the problem is?

Dita knows, she does not need a night watchman fight tongue with this one, he had to rush to the dining room, reading the morning newspaper, breakfast with menu are. She should read thicker books she had borrowed from the library to complete the thesis. Today there is no agenda on campus, it's Saturday is coming in a few hours Sunday night, word would come to visit, she had promised to go to a theatre in the Art Building.
Dita’s boyfriend –Firman--  is a student majoring in architecture, they have promised to enter the stage of marriage after college Dita finished. They already have the determination, both have the same weight busyness. On a typical day, they settle all matters on campus, on a Saturday night or a Sunday on their days off they just met. Both Dita and the Firman was bet to play around with time.

After putting dirty dishes on the table, Dita rushed back to the room. She was wearing a purple skirt with a white blouse loose bone from cotton fabric. Regulations do not allow people to eat dorm menu in the dining room wearing shorts or in circumstances covered face mask. The dining room as well as a place to communicate and establish familiarity among fellow citizens, mild-mannered appearance is set to establish communication.

Towards the weekend Dita's face brightened, she has spent one full week to pursue literature, take exams, and a "puppet" to get the best results. Tonight will come to relax, she still had a few hours to read a book in the room, and she diligently did. Relina have to fix the rest of the rooms and the corridor then out of the bathroom in a fresh condition when Dita began to diligently read.

Relina began to move in front of the mirror, applying a cleansing milk, wipe it with a tissue, applying toners, moisturizers, foundation, and start applying face powder compact. He was polishing his legs and arms with hand body lotion, combing hair, lingering conducted herself in a mirror and then brewing syrup diet. Her weight looks blooming a few pounds, the clothes felt tight, she becomes uncomfortable with her appearance.
While Dita diligently read, Relina seemed to go back and forth with a glass of syrup on hand, sit back without doing anything. Dita has repeatedly find Relina sitting daydreaming blankly, the girl might be dreaming, wishing, perhaps regret, or do not know, the obvious conclusion Relina Dita has a problem that can not be resolved. Or Relina middle "dreaming". Behind snobbery Re basically keep a fragile soul, Dita memorized all the things that made the girl from the morning until the next morning. Wrong if he give input?
"Sorry Re, I hardly ever see you study hard, you're more likely to spend time sitting pensively. The opportunity only comes once, the clock can not be turned back retreat. We better wake up and face the reality of how bad then sleep and dream no matter how beautiful ", while Dita stops the diligence to read and speak.

Relina fascinated with words, she seemed to awake from the illusion that all is slowly, but surely cheating. Dita Relina know how diligently prepare each assignment and exam, she realized she had to spend more time imply-if. Of course, you never know Dita sits the real issue, he did not need to know. Any trail that takes her footsteps to this place has become a note that does not need a secret known to anyone, because it would not change anything.

However,  Dita’s advises was true? The advice is very rational for her to be realistic as well as finding solutions to any problems encountered. "Thanks for the advice, I'll try."

The following days are often seen Relina started reading a book or working paper earnestly. Occasionally Re seemed to read fiction, go all day for recreation, but the seriousness of learning does not disappear. Re was not as arrogant as she had imagined, a person's appearance does not entirely reflect her heart. Re so love to shop to get snacks, she did not spend it alone, she always shared. While the room is neat and shiny. They seem to be able to adjust to each other. But ....
                                                           ***
This day Dita pack all the equipment for the purposes of corruption, she got a location in a farming village, in a foot of the mountain between Yogya-Waterford. She will go straight to the field and get a fun new experience. Group will depart by driving a bus at 15.00 pm, now at 11.17. She still had a few hours and talk in familiar before departure. Field Work will last for three months, she only has permission to return to the campus twice in the framework of the administration with the administration. She had to restrain herself not to meet with the word.

The entire equipment is almost ready, but Dita needs one thing, a marker to write the name, so that the goods are not to be confused with other students. She did not have stationery, but she had seen in study table Relina. Dita began to search, study table Relina glass coated with a series of photographs and drawings arranged artistically on the bottom. The whole book notes, literature, paper, cosmetics, antiques and all artefacts neatly in place. But it is not easy to find markers, Dita kept looking, her attention suddenly riveted on a leather-bound diary with golden bus on its edges. The book looks elegant, golden ribbon sticking out of the pages of the book. Dita had never seen Relina to her book, there is an uncontrollable urge that ruled her hand reached for the book. The girl's face looked as if she were wondering when she began to open the cover first. A series of sentences neatly etched, Dita knew it Relina handwriting:

I've never been able to forget, except when memory loss. That period has been petrified into pieces.  If I can get it back ....

Dita forehead wrinkled with that sentence. She goes to open the next page. Then her hands moved back opening page of the book is thin striped smooth.

I can never forget the mother's face, a face that could only be familiar to a black and white piece of paper that is increasingly blurred. The more I try to forget the more I remembered. I never understood why what led me to leave my father's mother who gave birth. Every time I asked my father's face turned into a rock-hard, I'm afraid. I never felt a father's strong hand landed hard on my cheek. Fear beyond the stinging pain, I was stuck in a puzzle, but I realized I would never be entitled an answer. Finally,  I chose silence.

Dita stunned, row sentence her head as if stung by a flock of bees. She never guessed this past Relina, she always kept to herself. Apparently she has a "friend" familiar to speak. Dita could not help but read the next record, Relina have the ability to write an entrancing.

I always try to love Maya, a sister who was born my father's wife. Maya grew into a beautiful girl, intelligent with smeared all love both parents. I never had a reason to hate Maya, because she was also a child of the biological father. However, each saw it spoiled my father and mother, I feel left out. Maya get all the warmth in the family, the one thing that has been missing in absolute since my childhood. Maya was never awkward in any situation dealing with a father and mother. However, I was a stepchild of the birth mother Maya. There is a gaping chasm that is increasingly getting in, the distance which eventually turned into hatred.

Even though a stepmother, but I have a good stepmother, she always sent enough allowance and tuition on time. I can not complain about this one. My stepmother was a very beautiful woman, she is always dressed like a mother officials at an official meeting. Dad should be proud to have a wife like a mother. Besides clever ornate, mother also a good cook and take care of the house. My house is small and neatly arranged, mother and Maya diligently planting flowers anyway. She also produced jewellery business and then manage your finances well. What is not owned by my mom or stepmom?
Today mom and dad fight, I do not know where the dispute originated, but had heard the mother cries, the father had an affair with a woman who does not behave well, maybe she was a prostitute. Mother did not cry, she spilt dramatically anger as he was acting in the theatre. In the room I sat shivering with Maya, we were scared and crying silently.

It has been over a week of tense atmosphere in the house, the mother chose silence, her beautiful face seemed sad and in pain. I showed sympathy to the mother by helping to complete homework, cooking, washing dishes, washing the floor, taking care of plants, and massaged his body. Actually I came on vacation to find peace, to live as a child of boarding was not as easy as she had imagined. But the atmosphere in the house I get just the opposite. I wondered, perhaps for that reason is this kind of separation from mom dad and me to go with him?
And my stepmother is a strong woman, she was able to deal with the betrayal of the father senses. Reprimand and a big fight was inevitable. Mother's offer, the father would choose prostitute's or mother? I know, dad dead lice.

After weighing, thinking, and reflecting the end I decided my relationship with Hendra. In the first days, I was feeling so lonely, Hendra had penetrated deep enough and colour all my days. However, the character of the product remains Hendra culture east, culture patriakhi, culture which places men as a female character is broadcaster. Hendra has always been like a king while I was his servant. My position and Hendra are both students, we have the status, position, and the same future. Hendra unjust act like that. With persistent he always pressed so that I can be as he imagined-might-figure of a celebrity but, I was struggling to find an identity. I want to be myself!

I refuse to attend lectures held at the marriage hall campus. For me marriage is just a cracked mirror, the face and the whole look will split when it should look in the mirror in front of him. Experience has taught about it. I dreamed again of the bridal party with a beautiful white dress. I'm just going to live this life for granted, whether destiny will bring footfalls where, yet God still reigns over there ....

July 3
Life in the hostel is very unique and strange, as I am a new resident and his friends contemporaries often treated like a strange creature from another planet. Actually, what is weird, except that we are not personally well known ....

Dita as if immersed in a pure confession of one's life filled with mystery, she intends to continue to dive into the mystery, but a motion capture eardrums. Human shadow flitted into the room without permission, because this room is where she lives. Dita heart skipped a beat when she locked eyes with a pair of eyes Relina. Dita felt a flash of the eyes javelin dug right in the gut, expression is the expression of anger Relina unbearable.

Dita stand as a stone, she was a thief who was caught, she regretted her impudence had entered an area that most private of a person who has the right to asazi. The diary is the most secret part of an individual that can not be touched by anyone, even though she was a senior at the hostel and Relina is a new citizen. However, regrets never come at the right time.

On the other hand, felt a flood of lava craters Relina grease dripping down her face when she found a sassy Dita was reading the diary without her permission. Even if Dita asked permission to read the note, then she would never allow. She would never let anybody tear apart his private area. Relina knows there are times when she should be able to forgive others, but there is also time for a lesson.

She was fully aware when she raised her hand high up and then put a hard slap right in the Dita’s cheek. Relina do this with the rest of her convictions, she would not let anyone insult her personal life. No one!
"Plakkk!"
Dita shrieked, clutching her cheeks felt hot and sore, she never thought Relina be able to do this. There has been no record of new residents to commit acts of violence against seniors. But how Dita can provide self-defence, she started her fault, she has acted to exceed the limit offence. And Relina very convinced her to make amends.
Relina think Dita will respond with a strike, she has prepared for all possibilities. However, Dita just ducked, she knees, sobbing, and then went to leave the room. Relina never wonder where Dita goes, she did not have to ask.

The girl regained a diary that he had inadvertently put on the table. She always wrote notes every day in solitude and then locked the book in the drawer. Yet, people still careless, she rushed down to the living room for a call from a college friend. She missed on a personal book, the sassy Dita finally read it. What is already known to the girl? Dita too presumptuous!

Relina decided to go to Malioboro to remove the annoyance, then she went around the city with no destination in mind and come back late at night after Dita away and be quiet room atmosphere. Once again she had to return seized with a feeling of hatred named! Relina think Dita will report this incident to the hostel caretaker, she will get a warning as well as warnings. However, apparently, no one in the dorm who knew about the incident that occurred in the room a few hours before Dita go fieldwork. For a while the walls of the dormitory silenced. Relina need a few days to calm down she had to return focus to the tasks and routine boarding school that never dropped from month to month.

During the three months immersed in the bustle Dita corruption, she never went back to the hostel. When the corruption ends and she passed away to the same place, Relina attending middle ground in Lampung, they never met. Dita still feels giddy with incidents that occurred between her and Re, she was sworn not to tell this incident to anyone, because the story would only laugh at his stupidity.

Finally when Relina back from college the field, she was stunned. The girl was found in an empty room Dita, no piece of yarn is left on a table, bed, wardrobe and the wall in the corner office. What was valid?  Where is Dita? Relina shortly undergo surprise, because Soraya coming. 'Re sorry, there was a message from Ms Dita, she left abruptly. Coming home from fieldwork Firman’s father died before the death of his last word requests was for the marriage. Therefore married Miss Dita suddenly in front of the body, and there is no verbal invitation formal invitation. Some residents came to represent. Once married, people practically had to leave the hostel, Firman just wait for graduation, he found work in Tangerang, Ms Dita participate. He only lived finishing thesis and can be done through consultation. Now Ms Dita in Tangerang, she can not touch, because it does not know the phone number where you can be contacted to take leave. "

The words were short and quick, but for Re, it has changed the meaning of the sentence as a dream. The last time she met with Dita was when she sent a hard right hand to the parts of her cheeks, she did not think long about the impact of her actions, she was emotional, she lost control. Three months separated by Dita in the corruption apparently also never assuage her anger, she still imagined Dita face with hate pop at its peak. Now, the people who hated take leave left without a word, because of busy respectively. Relina never know if one day she will be met with Dita? Is there she would still hate her?

Still ringing in the ears Relina Dita words, ".... you better face the truth no matter how bad awake than asleep and dreaming of how wonderful it ...." mouth stringing pretty words that are now being similarly passed away with the personal. Relina feel her breath shortness, life is changing rapidly turbulence are like a pickaxe.
"Re, did you hear what I said?" Soraya looked surprised, she did not know and will never know, who was raging heavy thoughts in Relina mind.
