Ary meets Rima



The group got out of the car in turn. They walked over to a young man who was smiling widely welcoming their arrival.


"Come, in. Karin, Nani and Hasni are already inside," Irwan asked the group. They walked together into the house.


The furniture was moved to another room. The living room looks bigger and bigger.


Karin and Nani greet the arrival of her friends with a screech. Hugging everything while kissing the right and left cheeks. Then, pull the arms of the women into the corner of the living room to continue the chat.


The men were gathered in the front of the living room.


"When is nyampe, Bang?" ask Zein to Hasni.


"About an hour ago. Stop by to pick up Karin and Nani who have been staying at Karin's house since yesterday" Hasni replied.


A young man with a very similar face to Rima looked out from the living room of the house. He walked over to the guests and greeted them one by one.


"How are things? Introduce. I am Yusran, Rima's second brother," said the fat-haired man introducing himself. He sat next to Irwan.


Their conversation continues. With a plan Zein revealed the facts about the existence of Amanda and family in Singapore.


"If there is accurate information, I will go there soon" said Yusran. This man who works as a trainer at a personality school in Jakarta seems very excited to hear Zein's story.


"Yes, Kang. We will both go there. Doain just let immediately ascertain their existence," said Zein.


Yusran. He watched all the guests sitting cross-legged in front of him. They are all friends of his sister who without a brief help to unravel the mystery of death that has not been resolved by the police.


Though they are mostly new people in the boarding house of Bu Revelation. Never met his sister face. In fact, it is often disturbed by ghosts that resemble the figure of the sister.


"The guests were invited to rest in the room, A'," said his father Yusran who had just come out of the dining room.


"Until forgot. Come on, let's rest in the pavilion. The show has just begun ba'da Asar," asked Yusran. He then stood up, momentarily silent while shaking the ankle to relax the tingling leg. His laughter broke when he saw everyone else doing the same.

Meanwhile at the boarding house, Ary was typing a laptop on a mattress while lying on his stomach.


At the end of the bed was Mother Chubie sleeping in a deep circle.


The atmosphere outside was completely deserted. His room at the very end made him unable to hear any sounds from outside.


"Oh, laper," he said. For a moment his eyes looked at the end of the laptop, it was already noon.


Reluctantly he finally got up and sat down on the bed before finally shuffling to the edge.


He stood up and stepped foot with his foot out of the room. A few steps to the kitchen opposite the room, right at the end of the boarding garden.


His right hand moved open the kitchen table drawer, taking out two packs of instant noodles and an egg. Take a small pot and fill it with water. Then boil the noodles and eggs.


While waiting for the noodles to mature, he sat on the front porch floor of his room.


The sound of the fence opening made him look over. A few minutes waiting but no one came in from the front door.


Encouraged curiosity finally he stood up and stepped foot towards the front door of the house. Take a peek into the park before opening the locked door.


His eyes caught a human who ran out of the fence and rode on a motorcycle and left.


His eyes narrowed when he saw a large bouquet of flowers under the mango tree. He rushed towards the tree, crouched down and took the bouquet with his right hand.


Her forehead frowned as she thought this was the second bouquet of flowers placed here by someone. I don't know who the bouquet is because there's no recipient's name.


Ary got up slowly and moved away from the tree, back into the house again when he remembered the noodles that were being boiled.


"Dadeuh. Meni kembang kieu," he complained when he saw the noodles that enlarged twice the original shape. (So the flowers are like this)


He quickly turned off the stove and poured the noodles into the bowl he had prepared earlier.


While waiting for the noodles to cool down a bit, Ary grabbed the jar from inside the hanging cabinet. Check the crackers in the jar before removing some of their contents into the dish. In his heart he intends to invite Satya and Chandra to shop at the mini market later because the stock of noodles and eggs has been thinned.


He sat down again on the front porch of the room and began to eat noodles greedily. Chubie's mother, who had woken up, stroked at her feet, asking to be stroked.


"Ntar, yes, Mak. I eat first" Ary said as he continued to bribe noodles.


Suddenly his eyes caught a shadow from the front door that was still open. He stopped chewing, put the bowl on the floor and got up. Then walk near the door.


Arriving in front he looked around. At once the fur of romance stood up when there was a chill from the front door of Triska's room.


He turned around and looked around the parking lot, but did not see the appearance that made him creep.


"Hm. Want to meet that polite or. Don't haunt doang," she said.


Silent. All that was heard was the echo of his own voice. Ary left the front door open, returning to the front porch of the room to pick up the bowl.


Chubie's mother was already standing, her ears looking upright sticking out. His gaze was directed to the front of Ayu's room.


"What's up, Mom?" ask Ary. The black striped ash cat remained unmoved.


Ary sat down cross-legged and continued to eat the noodles that were already perfectly inflated.


His eyes looked at every corner of the house vigilantly.


After he finished eating he immediately got up from his seat, stood up and stepped towards the kitchen. Washing the used bowl, spoon and pot he used earlier.


The moving right hand took the glass from the dish rack and poured water from the teapot on the kitchen table.


Ggggrrrr.


Ggggrrrr.


Mom's growl that has changed position looking at the door of Satya's room makes Ary creeps again.


Slowly he approached and lifted Mom into his sling. The cat is still growling.


Suddenly Ary catches a woman standing behind him. The woman was wearing a broken white long dress with lace decoration dangling long to the floor.


Ary glued to look at the figure without doing anything.


Then, the figure changed the direction of his body, tilted to the left and floated slowly towards Ayu's room. Shut up for a moment in front of the door before disappearing.
