Campfire in Our House

Hi, it's me again.

I still remember the days in Ramadhan when we were still kids, Ayah had always enticed us to not to sleep after sahur by telling his ghost-stories after we took our sahur. His tales were so well-crafted and appealing that we didn’t even have the chance to feel sleepy. 

The image is still vividly emblazoned in my psyche; there, we sat in circle in the dark living room, as we went along with Ayah’s instantly-made stories. Yes. Almost every story that he told us are made up on the spot! We siblings had been very attentive to his story-telling. All sorts of hantu were created; hantu kipas, hantu pen, and many more hantus who haunt normal things like stationeries and cutleries were all there. The coolest part was, we never get bored of his stories. Ayah is one excellent ad-hoc story-teller.

Happy Ramadhan.
