没有大舅的日子：第205天

Scoleciphobia...

A dead bird on the roof, causes scare for 2 days.
That's what had happened on the eve of Merdeka. My house had been 'stormed' by uninvited visitors. When I woke up in the morning, my frantic mother woke me up telling that is a number of worms in the kitchen. I was puzzled. How on Earth they managed to get inside the house?! The 3 of us tried to figure out where the worms came from.
My mother and I couldn't stand catching the worms by every second. Therefore, we decided to call the Indah Water Konsortium, thinking that it was them who, didn't do the jobs. But the operator told us this matter was not related to them. He suggested we call Alam Flora.
Here's the mystery was solved... We made a complaint and a man came around 30 minutes later. My father showed him the worm and instantly, he recognised that this type of worm feed on dead animals!!! Ha! That's it!
The man helped us to 'solve' the cause of the worms appearing in the house. But, where is the source? After he left, the 3 person in the house were still figuring. "Sure it's on the roof, but where?", my mother asked.
Watching those crime-solving t.v. series did really educate me to think rationally, logically and sensitive to the surrounding. Alas! I found out that the dead animal(a bird by the way) was found dead on the roof, outside the empty room. Therefore, my parents seek help from our neighbour, who happened to be contracted to Alam Flora. 1 of them hold a pipe to slowly washed to the dead bird down. I was in using the small pile of water to clean up remaining from the room upstairs. This chaos only end on Monday afternoon when none of the worms appeared...

In this incident, I was living in some kinda fear. The fear that your kitchen is the home to evil beings. Seems that we were in some sort of movies where a family living in a haunted house... Seeing so much of it had made me scare of one the smallest creature on us... I have to admit, I have no guts to 'battle' something that was thousand times smaller than I...
