219. Lanni Story

After his laughter subsided Lilian approached Shezi and intended to comfort him.

" Don't be angry anymore. Remember, you're still sick and you have to rest to heal, Lilian said, fixing Shezi's pillow.

" But I sprained her sister Sister. How could he swear I met the ghost of the coffin bearer again. He knows I was in an accident because of what..," Shezi said with teary eyes.

Lilian smiled at the girl's words. He hugged Shezi tightly. Lanni smiled and walked over to Shezi.

" Am sorry Rex. He's just kidding. I'm sure the ghost won't chase you. What he wanted was gone, different nature. So they also have to go. Perhaps they were the ones who got the punishment from the demon lord for failing to carry out their duties" Lanni said, calming Shezi down.

" Is that Mom...?" shezi asked in disbelief.

" Yes," said Lanni and Lilian together to make Shezi smile.

" Oh that's it..," Shezi said with a big smile.

Then Lanni grabbed Shezi's palm, grasped it tightly and said something.

" Mommy also wants to say thank you because you have succeeded in persuading Luna to tell everything. Things you can't do when communicating with Luna's spirit earlier. Let alone to persuade, writhing his terrible condition was a mother already crying. You have no heart and no idea why she was serious about her first nyari..," Lanni said with a trembling voice.

" I'm sorry before. But what exactly is the relationship between Mother and Aunt Luna's spirit ?. Why do I have to miss her first...?" ask Shezi.

" Luna is the son of my family's relatives, his Father Luna is the same Papa I am a good friend. Luna's family is also often present at Our family events and vice versa. We are close like cousins. That's how I and Luna felt..," Lanni said in a soft voice.

" The same father Captain Rex as well...?" ask Shezi.

" Oh no. Me, My Husband and Luna were college friends. Her father Rex was our senior because two levels above Kami used to be..," Lanni said as she glanced at her husband's affectionate and greeted with a smile Ramon.

" A dead-loving upperclassman is with his underclassman Zi.", Lilian interrupted with a laugh to make everyone laugh.

" Dear, do not like to be honest with you when you say..," said Gama while clutching the wife's shoulder to make Lilian laugh harder.

" You guys are so cool about Daddy's mojokin. But gapapa. I'm not ashamed to say that Dad really loves Mom." said Ramon while landing a kiss on the top of his head.

" Dad there was Shezi. I'm not ashamed anyway.." lanni interrupted while patting her husband's arm gently.

The so-called name only smiled while scratching his head because it did not know what to say.

" Had been friendly Ma'am, continued the story. Shezi was still curious, said Lilian.

" Oh yeah. So we were both dating and Luna was very happy. Unfortunately, it backfired for him" said Lanni.

" What about Boomerang, ma'am...?" shezi didn't understand.

" His father Luna was angry when he found out we were dating. She wants Luna to be Rex's father's girlfriend and not me. Apparently his Father Luna was equally charming My Husband so keukeuh really want to make him a son-in-law. We later realized that his Father Luna also several times tried to separate Us in a way that is not normal.", said Lanni while pursing her lips.

" Oh that. But you deserve to be reckoned with, Mom. Is that right, sir...?" shezi said with a smile to make Ramon laugh.

" Dad mengeneng deh ngebelain..," said Lanni while looking up to make Ramon laugh.

" If it wasn't because of his strange father Luna, maybe Lian was the same as Rex is not born now Zi..," Ramon said in between his laughter.

" Why, sir...?" ask Shezi.

" You see, Rex's mother still wants to postpone marriage for two or three years because she feels unworthy to get married when she just graduated from college." said Ramon while glancing at his wife.

" It's not Dad. I still want to work first because I want to enjoy the benefits of high school. Understandably it is still young, so the mind is still a very idealistic.", Lanni said with a smile.

" But finally Daddy's the same mother married also right..," interrupted Gama.

" yes. Unfortunately, Luna was not present at our wedding. Previously there was a rumor of Luna missing. But I think he ran away from home because he couldn't stand his fierce father. So at that time Mom and Dad just relax. We support his choice and hope he is happy somewhere. You know, we were wrong. Luna died on the last day we met her. And then we all know what happened, right," Lanni said, trying to hold back her tears.

" Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi roji'uun., I am so sorry Mom. Sorry, I haven't been able to say that since I know that Aunt Luna is just a ghost who haunts for being killed by her Father.", Shezi said with regret.

" Gapapa Zi, I understand. Kan You are also again frightened because of the writhing of Luna who is a ghost but followed by a ghost as well..," said Lanni while rubbing Shezi's head gently.

" Yes Ma'am. Winding Aunt Luna wrapped around the cloth already made me almost fainted. Uh, plus menggeliat Aunt Luna run because chased by a group of ghost pusang keranda.., "Shezi said riled.

" By the way what is the shape of the ghost of the coffin bearer Zi...?" ask Lilian curiously.

" There were four Sus. All men, but pale-skinned and have no eyes because there are only black eye sockets. Pake all-white clothes that can not be said to be white because it is worn too. Their appearance is also strange because it looks like a person wrapped in a shroud but the bond on the head of the shampoo to the stomach is released." Shezi said while shivering in horror.

" Iiih.., serem dong Zii..," said Lilian.

" Banget Sus. They were drifting following the ghost of Aunt Luna who was also wrapped in cloth. Bayangin deh if Sister Lian squirms their appearance suddenly, is not surprised tuh. So I sampe car chimes so shocked to wriggle them chasing in front of Me..," said Shezi quickly.

" But now they're gone. So you don't have to nginget it again so you don't keep freaking out" Lilian said as she rubbed Shezi's back gently.

" Yes Sus..," Shezi said with a smile.

" Sas Sus Sas Sus continue to daritadi. Now I am free of duty Zi. I'm here as an ordinary citizen and not a nurse at this Hospital. Call Me Sister can, no Sister mulu dong.", Lilian protested while pursing her lips.

" Can you...?" shezi asked with a glowing face.

" Can...!" everyone in the room told her to make Shezi laugh.

" Okay, thank you, brother," Shezi said as she stretched out her arms to hug Lilian.

Lilian laughed and welcomed Shezi's embrace.

Behind the door of Rex's room, she smiles at Shezi's interactions with her family.
