Comploters Not Afraid of Ghosts
Chapter 16: The White Shirt People
Tonight Ari fell on the bed faster than usual.
His head is still a little dizzy. But he's relieved. He saved me last afternoon
Tatas. Like a debt that has been paid. Because he had not long realized, he
never forget Tata. When he lost his father. Then Ari's mother went in
chamber. He sat next to Ari.
“Sorry mama ya Ri, all this time mama don't care about
your circumstances,” said Ari's mother with a sorry face.
“Nothing Ma,” replied Ari who was sorry to see her mother. Him
you know, the situation got harder when his mother left his father.
“Your friends from yesterday, she is like you too?
Mama's intent.”
“Iya Ma, so we deliberately came late.”
“Your grandfather used to be just like you.”
“Mama's father?”
“Iya.”
“Ari never saw.”
“She likes to go to the mountains. Long-duration drought.
Your grandmother doesn't like it. When mama is sad with your dad, he doesn't come. Then
he never came back. People say he's missing at Lawu Mountain. But time
your mom is pregnant, you saw her a few times in this house. That's why that time
mama asked papa to quickly have his own home.”
“Kakek kayak how?”
“He's actually good. I like to nolongin people. Dating time,
papa you don't like Grandpa very much. Grandpa accepted him. Papa
you are a very logical person. He does not like mysticism. He was always proud
so physics teacher.”
“Papa died how did Ma?”
At that moment Ari's mother fell silent. Something stuck in
his mind. Ari once asked this to her mother. And Ari
regretting. But Ari was still curious. Especially if you remember the female figure of the tongue
stuck out that time in and out of his parents' room.
“Papa hurts what Ma?”Ari tried asking again.
“Already Ri, who already yes already. Whatever happened, though,
you must sincerely your papa yes,” replied Ari's mother with a slightly heavy voice.
Ari nodded. But he still can't accept it. Figures
a woman's tongue will never disappear from her memory. Ari's Mother
get out of bed, stroke her child's head and walk to the door.
“The one in the well does exist?” ask Ari's mother before going out
chamber. Something still seems to be on his mind.
“There Ma. But mama don't be afraid. They're not evil. Unkempt
the one in school,” replied Ari plain.
Ari's mother nodded, trying to understand. Then he
get out and close the door. Ari is alone. The sleepiness is already falling
his eye. Until he heard the notification sound from his phone on the desk. With
lazy Ari took his phone. But after looking at the screen of his phone, eyes
Ari feels bright again. The sleepiness disappeared immediately. There's a message from Tata on
his cellphone. Quickly he opened the message.
‘Ari thank you for
saved me. But promise you don't tell anyone about me.
Let me be what I am today. Have good night. Sweet dream.’
Lama Ari looked at his phone. Then he tried to retaliate
tata Message.
‘Tata sorryin me yes ever
forgetting you. My papa died then. Until now I don't know
why died. Don't worry Tata, your secret is safe. If there's anything
call me. Have a good night too. Sweet dream.’
Then Ari put his phone back on the table. But when he
about to get to bed, his phone sounded. It was from Nara.
“Halo,” Ari answered her phone.
“Halo Ri, belom sleep lo,” replied Nara on Ari's phone.
“Belom, why Ra?”
“Ri, my mom just called from America. He's got news
from my grandfather, if Mr. Suman asks grandfather for help to bring
people who used to clean schools.”
“People in white?”
“Iya, said tomorrow they will come to school.”
Then Ari remembered Awuk.
“Tomorrow I want to go to school,” said Ari.
“Tomorrow is off,” replied Nara.
“Gue can jump fence.”
“Gue follow. I'm reporting Toha with Wira.”
“Neventless. I'll go there.”
“Ri, we are a plot, how about you faint again and
no one knows you?”
“Ok, tomorrow morning we meet at the fence.”
“Ok.”
Tomorrow morning Ari is in front of the school fence. How many
long ago, Nara got there too. It's been 5 minutes waiting for Toha and Wira, they
not come yet. Nara tried to contact them from her phone.
While at the gate, 3 minibus cars were seen entering the school grounds. Till
in the parking lot, some people got out of those cars. They're all
dress white.
“They've come,” hiss Ari.
Nara docked to the fence. He took the camera out of his bag.
Nara is busy with her camera.
He took pictures in the parking lot.
“Toha equals Wira how?” ask Ari.
“No contact,” replied Nara. He is busy with
his camera.
“Definitely still on molor,” said Ari annoyed.
While the people in white clothes had already reached the front
edifice. They were welcomed by Mr. Suman. There was also Mr. Solidin and Mr. Riza.
Mr. Suman drove them in. It looks like they are heading to the area
basements. Ari thought it was time for him to come in. He was also getting ready to climb
fence.
“Ari, wait Toha equals Wira!” said Nara.
“Next time, I have to meet Awuk now,” Ari said. Him
they climbed the fence.
“Ari wait..” Pekik Nara. But Ari jumped inside.
Nara tries to contact Toha and Wira again. But it seems
not connected either. While Ari has run combing the edge of the basketball court.
Ari had seen a long-haired woman in a banyan tree. But now
his hair did not reach the ground. And he perched on the very branch.
His face was like fear. Ari ignored him. I don't know what's in
his mind, but he wants to save Awuk. Ari also arrived at an empty land.
After passing behind the canteen he had to pass through the residence of Mr. Min si
school keeper. When I got there, Ari was caught.
“Hey, what are you doing here? It's a school holiday!” said Mr. Min
ferociously.
Ari stopped his run. For a moment he did not have
answers. And he's not with Toha.
“I will report you to Mr Suman!” Mr. Min threatened.
“I want to save Sinta Pak,” Ari replied. Only
that's what came to his mind.
“Sove?”
“Iya Pak.”
“You can see his spirit?”
“Can.”
“Then Sinta was a beautiful boy. Fine again. He likes love
mr. money. Poor thing, he died like that. Surely his spirit is still curious.”
“Iya Sir, so want me to selametin.”
“Iya there quickly. I won't tell Mr. Suman.”
Ari continued his run. He was relieved his impromptu story could
make Mr. Min side with him. While passing through the classroom hallway, Ari must
sneak walking. Not too far away from him, the people in white clothes were
doing activities around the basement area. He's not far from the stairs
to the storage room on the 3rd floor. But for a moment Ari's steps stopped.
He heard the footsteps of the horses. But this time slowly. Like I was walking, though,
the horse's legs again. Arriving at the 3rd floor, Ari went straight into the used room
extracurricular drama. Several times Ari blinked his eyes, shrinking
his eyes around. The room was really dark. Then Ari heard
the voice of the woman crying from the corner of the room. And Awuk is there. Stand on
nooks. Head lowered. Slowly Ari approached. Ari is relieved, Awuk's feet are not
disintegrated.
“They'll take me,” Awuk's voice shrivelled. His head is still
ducked.
“You must leave here as soon as possible,” Ari said.
“Ngot able.”
“Why?”
“I'm afraid.”
“Do not fear.”
“I want to come with you.”
Ari was silent for a moment. He's a little worried. But he pityes on
Crewish. Crossing his mind, perhaps Awuk could stay inside the side well
her house. But what if Awuk is a broken female leg?
“Please. I want to come with you,” Awuk stared at Ari. Him
extended a hand to Ari.
Hesitatingly Ari reached out to Awuk. But suddenly
You are dragged back to the wall.
“Please! They want to take me!” awuk's screams are so loud
in Ari's ears. His hand tried to reach Ari.
“Please! Help u! Please!” Awuk howled loudly many times.
Ari retreated a little. Because Awuk's eyes are starting to blacken. And his legs began
disintegrated. His hand was still outstretched towards Ari. Awuk body as sucked into
wall. Long Ari saw Awuk's body blackened. Her eyes are red and her hair is red
dishevelled. He didn't stop howling. His hand wanted to reach Ari. But
his body was like being sucked through a wall. Long time its existence was lost from
ari's view. And the howling stopped. Ari lives alone in the room
that dark.
Ari has gone down the stairs. He can't save
Crewish. But after seeing the last form of Awuk, Ari thought
more about Awuk. When he reached the bottom, Ari saw the hallway to the toilet not far away
from there. He recalled the figure of a white pack stuck to the ceiling. Ari
curious. He's headed there too. At the door of the toilet, Ari stopped
momentary. Because the figure in the toilet once made Ari run
algae. But his curiosity forced his feet to step in. Ari is in
the corneriest toilet. Inside, Ari just stood up and stared at the tiles. Him
I hesitated to look up. He waited for debris to fall from the ground
upon. Or drops of blood. But the floor was clean. Slowly Ari looked up
going upstairs. It was okay on the ceiling. Packet figure
white is no longer there. Ari rushed out of the toilet.
Ari walks along the classroom terrace. She still is
seeing people in white clothes were busy around the basement area there.
Ari accelerated her pace. He has to go back to Nara's place. But not intentionally
Ari looked at the class across. From the classroom window, Ari looked
figure of horse legs. He was there. In an empty class. That's class 9-1.
Class Tata. The figure just stood quietly next to the bench by the window. Benches
three lines from the front. But Ari saw she wasn't wearing a crown. And all
the jewelry on his body was not there. He doesn't even wear a cover down below
his body.
“Hoi! Why are you there!” A man in white clothes walked
heading to Ari.
Ari shocked. Looks like he got caught.
“Who are you! Can't be here, danger!” Dressman
the white approached Ari. Two more people came behind him.
“Take him away from here!” said one in the back.
Another who looked old and had a white beard looked at
Ari scrupulously.
“That schoolgirl is here Sir,” Mr. Riza came in line.
“O, schoolgirl here,” says person in white.
“Please get out of here Sir. No one can be in
around here,” says the other one.
Mr. Riza also led Ari to leave the place. Persons
the old white clothes were still looking at Ari. And Ari still saw the figure of a horse's foot
it stands in class. Ari thought the three people in white clothes were not
look at the horse's legs.
“Pak Riza, there is another one in the class,” Ari tried
explained to Mr. Riza as they walked out through the teacher room.
Mr. Riza sped up his path while looking to the right and
go left.
“Ari you didn't listen to my words!” said Mr. Riza
without slowing down. “The one in there is none of your business! If Sir
Suman until she finds out you're here, you could be kicked out of school. My
have promised your mother to take care of you.”
Ari could not say anymore. He just kept following
mr. Riza's Steps. Ari was escorted out the school gate.
“Remember Ri! I can still help you now. Don't
until the incident, which later I can not help you anymore!” Then Mr. Riza
lock the gate and walk away from Ari.
Ari walked quickly on the sidewalk. He finds Nara, Toha and
The hero is behind the tree. It seems they were hiding because there was a sir
Riza.
“Ri, the woman in the banyan tree, was pulled to
dalem,” said Toha as he came out of hiding.
“Awuk also,” timpal Ari.
“So you can't read him?” ask Nara.
Ari shook her head.
“But the horse's leg is still there. He's hiding in class.
I think people in white clothes can't find him,” said Ari. Him
intentionally not saying, it's Tata class.
“Lo didn't tell them?” ask Wira.
“Free. I was even expelled. Tell Mr. Riza also he
no nanggepin,” replied Ari.
“You're sure the horse's leg wasn't found?” ask Toha.
“Should have fit me there, they should have seen too,”
said Ari. But he's not sure either.
“Then we try to ask his father Toha?” word
Hero.
“Apaan anyway!” sergeant Toha. Mr. Toha is a psychic
quite famous. But Toha is most uncomfortable if his father is connected with
his profession.
“Yes, we must ask for an explanation to the expert,” Nara
chimed.
While they are still arguing about Toha's father, Mobile
Ari sound notification. Ari took it out of her pants pocket. There is a message from
Tatas. Ari quickly opened.
‘Thank you Ari would like to understand my condition. Sorry attitude
me either. I didn't know your father died. You want to forgive me, right?’
Ari quickly replied.
‘Iya Tata. I'm sorry. I should have found out
you were then. Ta, your bench in the class is in the row to what?’
Shortly thereafter there was an answer from Tata.
‘line to 3’
Ari answered.
‘window?’
Tata answered.
‘iya, side window, why?’
Ari answered.
‘ngga papa’
Ari's face was tense. The figure of the horse's leg seemed to be really
eyeing Tata.
“What's Ri? Who is WA?” Ask Nara.
“No, it's okay,” replied Ari. He has to keep it a secret
tata Condition. “We have to meet his father Toha right now,” now Ari's face
so serious.
