Every morning at seven, Calum heard singing. It was a soft, high voice. It sang the same song again and again.
Setiap pagi pukul tujuh, Calum mendengar nyanyian. Suaranya lembut dan tinggi. Lagu yang sama dinyanyikan berulang-ulang.
He lived on the third floor of an old building. At first, he thought it was the radio. But the voice often stopped. Then it started the same song again.
Ia tinggal di lantai tiga sebuah gedung tua. Awalnya, ia mengira itu suara radio. Tetapi suara itu sering berhenti. Lalu lagu yang sama dimulai lagi.
On Monday, he left his apartment early. He stood in the hallway and listened. The sound came from above. He went up the stairs to the fourth floor.
Pada hari Senin, ia berangkat dari apartemennya lebih awal. Ia berdiri di lorong dan mendengarkan. Suara itu datang dari atas. Ia naik tangga ke lantai empat.
The singing was louder at the door of number 42. Calum did not knock. He felt shy and went to work.
Nyanyian itu terdengar lebih keras di depan pintu nomor 42. Calum tidak mengetuk. Ia merasa malu dan pergi bekerja.
On Tuesday, he came back. This time he knocked.
Pada hari Selasa, ia kembali. Kali ini ia mengetuk.
An old woman opened the door. She had white hair and a warm, blue sweater.
Seorang perempuan tua membuka pintu. Rambutnya putih, dan ia memakai sweter biru yang hangat.
"Oh!" she said. "Is my singing too loud?"
"Oh!" katanya. "Apakah nyanyian saya terlalu keras?"
"No, no," Calum said. "I only want to know who sings."
"Tidak, tidak," kata Calum. "Saya hanya ingin tahu siapa yang bernyanyi."
She laughed. "I sing in a choir. We have a concert on Sunday. I practice every morning at seven."
Ia tertawa. "Saya bernyanyi di paduan suara. Kami punya konser hari Minggu. Saya berlatih setiap pagi pukul tujuh."
"It is a lovely song," he said.
"Lagunya indah sekali," kata Calum.
"Thank you. Come to the concert," she said. "Sit in front, and I will sing for you."
"Terima kasih. Datanglah ke konsernya," katanya. "Duduklah di depan, dan saya akan bernyanyi untukmu."
