Canticles

83. Ga Recall

After talking for a while, Ramon and Rex decided to return to their respective rooms for a break.

Rex lay on the bed. He recalled his encounter with the pink-clad female ghost and the question that kept echoing in his head.

" Send to pick me up, but where to pick me up ? Duh, I'm really worried. I never made a promise to a girl and she waited until she died. The proof is that his spirit came to make promises. Hiiyyy..," Rex murmured while shuddering.

Because tired of remembering plus tired all day accompanying Gama, Rex finally fell asleep.

But in the middle of the night Rex awoke to the sound of a female sobbing. Rex opened his eyes and circulated his gaze to the corner of the room thinking that the sound was coming from his room.

" Who cried rich gini nights. Don't-don't Brother Lian, or Mother." Rex's inner self rubbed his eyes and rushed down from the bed.

Rex opened the door to the room and headed to the brother's room. When he was about to knock on the room door, Rex first pressed his ear to the door to hear a voice behind the door. Silence, no sound whatsoever. But just then the sound of sobs still faintly sounded.

Rex shifted to his parents' room and did the same before knocking on the door. But nil. There was no sound of crying from behind the door.

Out of curiosity, Rex searches for the source of the sound around the house. Rex stopped in the dining room. He sat down and took a glass of water. Suddenly Rex gasped when he realized that the voice continued to follow wherever he went.

" His voice was from there to follow me." Rex muttered as he turned to the right and to the left.

Then Rex remembered the pink-clad woman's hanfu. Rex took a quick step into the living room and pulled out the window curtains to look into the courtyard.

Rex let out a long sigh as he saw the pink-clad female ghost sitting on the terrace floor while turning her back to the door.

Slowly Rex opened the door and stood in the doorway.

" What else is it ?. Why did you come and disturb. What is my fault with you until you do this. I'm tired of taking a break. If you want help, please don't bother me now. We're talking about tomorrow, yeah," Pinta Rex.

The woman in pink stopped her crying.

" Why didn't you come ?. You promised you'd pick me up. You don't know what happened to me while I was waiting for you...?" asked the female ghost with a trembling voice.

" I don't know who you are. Please don't go around with the same question. Tell me who you are and why did I come here....?" rex asked, getting upset.

The woman in pink stood up and walked away and disappeared through the wall of the fence.

Rex breaks his hair violently because of his disturbed sleep. After making sure the woman did not return, Rex closed the door and stepped into the room.

" Father strange woman..," grumbled Rex while covering her face with a bolster.

It didn't take long for Rex to fall asleep again.

After performing the congregational Fajr prayer in the mosque, Gama pulled Rex's hand to invite him to speak with four eyes.

" What the hell is Gam...?" ask Rex.

" Because you've been talking about that girl's ghost all day, she came to my house last night, I...!" sahut Gama is upset to surprise Rex.

" Came how do you mean. How did Lo squirm...?" ask Rex.

" Yes is. She wears pink, right ?. His face is thin, his body is thin," said Gama while looking to the right and left because he did not want the secret conversation to be heard by others.

" right. And he said what the fuck...?" ask Rex.

" Oh my God, it's good he didn't say anything to Rex. If he says something, I'm not sure I can wake up and pray Fajr in the mosque now.

" Who, why...?" rex didn't understand.

" Yes I fainted dong dodol !. If no one wakes up how can I make it...?!" ask Gama loudly to make Rex smile.

" Has really serem ya until Lo had to faint all...?" ask Rex.

" Serem is, let alone he went back and forth in front of I am rich there is no fatigue..," said Gama quickly.

" A ghost who knows tired Gam, strange Lo. Not only Lo who was mentioned, I also really. Even to chat all the same I..," said Rex relaxed to surprise Gama.

" Anjrit, the real Rex !. You talk to that ghost ?. Chat what...?!" tanya Gama half screamed.

" Sorry trespassing. And she keeps talking about what's Rex...?" ask Gama curious.

Then Rex tells of his experience twice meeting and communicating with the ghost of the woman in pink.

" I salute Lo Rex. I can talk all without fear. I was just squirming he was pacing back and forth with cold sweat and could not sleep.", said Gama while rubbing his nape.

" That's exactly what confused me. I felt that girl made a promise as if she had known him for a long time. I've been trying to remember the girl's name or who she is, but I completely forgot." said Rex riled.

" So bad Lo Rex. The promise of what the hell is the same girl until it makes her wait a long time. No wonder if he became a ghost who came to make Lo promise...!" gama said with mimic dislike.

" Eh monyong, I told you it was rich. Not necessarily that I'm., right...?" rex said he didn't accept.

" It could be Rex. Try Lo inget-inget already how many times Lo outside tasks. Well maybe in Lo's place of duty there is a girl who pursues Lo because of love dies with Lo. In order for the girl to stop chasing, Lo pretends to return her love and promises something to her." said Gama.

" During my assignment I never got involved with any girl Gam. That's because I don't want to make people hope and wait without certainty because I realize I'm a TNI member who must be ready to be tasked anywhere. Another story if it's My Wife later..," said Rex steady.

" Related...?" ask Gama.

" Remain sure..," said Rex quickly.

" Who is this girl...?" tanya Gama riled.

" How about Lo tract I eat chicken porridge at the end of the road there. Maybe after I filled my stomach something, my brain became more sintered and could think more quickly," Rex said with a nosy smile.

" Ck, Lo's habit. It was still early in the morning, I. I want to coffee instead of eating chicken porridge..," grumbled Gama to make Rex laugh.

" The coffee I bought. How is...? " ask Rex.

" Ok deal...!" sahut Gama fast.

Then the two laughed as they slowly stepped towards the grilled chicken porridge merchant at the end of the road.

" Wrapped by Rex. Don't forget to Father, Mother and Brother Lo." said Gama while issuing a red sheet of money.

" Okay..," Rex said with a smile.

Fifteen minutes later Rex and Gama had arrived in front of Ramon's house and passed Lilian.

" Want to buy breakfast, brother?. No, Gama has bought chicken porridge for us..," said Rex while showing a bag of crackles in his hand.

Lilian smiled and returned to the house, followed by Rex and Gama.

" When you go back, the stall closes, sis...?" ask Lanni.

" Ga Bu's. Said Rex, Gama has bought us breakfast..," said Lilian.

" Thank God, thank you Gam." said Lanni with a smile.

" Together Ma'am..," said Gama.

" But he wants to hang out here, Mom." interrupted Rex as he stepped into the dining room.

" Oh no problem. Coincidentally Kak Lian has been making coffee in a teapot..," said Lanni.

" Tumben's coffee, usually milk." Rex says.

" Today everyone in this house can have coffee. Brother Lian bought coffee with spices, he said good for health..," said Lanni.

" Pantsan brewed a lot of coffee. It must have been bad.., " said Rex disappointed.

" Who said ?. Try a new comment..!" first...!" sahut Lilian fast.

" Not a storm. Where's the chicken porridge ?. I'm going to eat now" said Ramon.

Rex thrusts a box of chicken porridge at the father. Then everyone sat in the dining room for breakfast.
