Comploters Not Afraid of Ghosts

Chapter 39: The Ghost of a Black-Handed Child

The new school year has begun. Today is the day

first go to school, after which the students have been off for almost a month. Ari, Toha, Wira and

Nara's in the park. The park connects the entrance to the school building

with car parking, motorcycle parking and bicycle parking. They are like seniors

who controls the park. Because many new disciples passed in front of them. Faces

only then did it still look innocent and innocent as an SMU student. They just set

their feet are in SMU. They really don't know about the school.

Especially the mystery that happened there. Mysteries that Ari, Toha, Wira and

Nara knows.

This morning, which makes Ari and Toha surprised, Wira and Nara

now it looks more familiar than usual. They were standing close together. Some

look at each other with a smile. Until the bell came in. Moments

heading to class, Toha talks near Ari. Toha says, time to go

the school bike was broken. His bike he lives in the workshop. He asked for

please Ari to borrow money to take the bus back to school. Ari

assented. A few minutes later, the students left the class

go to the courtyard to attend the ceremony.

The ceremony was solemn. After raising the flag, the head

the school led the participants of the ceremony to a moment of silence. Chorus squad

have sung a silent song. Coincidentally the choir line

close to the Ari class. When the song is playing, Ari's feelings

started not good. When the other disciple lowered his head, Ari briefly lifted up

her head. At first glance he saw Nara who was three rows in front of him visible

agitatedly. Nara's not wearing her jacket. Then Nara slowly tried to look at her

backside. He looked towards Ari. And Ari knew what Nara meant.

Because Ari was looking towards the choir line. There's kids

the choir is singing a song. And among their ranks, there are

one that wasn't part of the choir squad. He stood up as if

choir and singing. Little kid. Female. Her hair is straight

back length. His clothes are white. It seems like nothing from the squad

the choir was aware of the boy's presence. Long Ari noticed the boy.

His mouth was trying to follow a song of silence. Child's face

that's pale. But what Ari is concerned about is his hands. Both hands child

it was black like a burn mark. After the silence was over, the boy

running around sneaking between the choir squads. After that he didn't

seen again.

After the ceremony, the 10th grade children were still told to stay

marching in the field. Today they will get a briefing from the manager

THE OSIS. For 3 days they will undergo a school orientation period. They

be a spectacle of some 11th and 12th graders. Because there is no today

teaching and learning activities. No exception Ari, Toha, Wira and Nara. They

it's still in one corner of the school yard. But they don't watch the kids

the 10th class that began to be told to practice lined up under the scorching sun. They

talking about the little boy who appeared in the choir row earlier.

“Lo also see Wir?” ask Nara.

“Yes, I thought it was a teacher's son, but his hand was an item

gitu,” said Wira.

“Gue also see,” says Toha interrupts,” No child possible

teacher, her face shoots.”

“Do not open the aisle again,” the grun Nara.

“No way,”sergah Toha,” The guys paddle it

great-great. Ghosts who wear suits in front of me until now can not enter

to dalem.”

“Or there may be another aisle that we don't know,”

Ari.

“Where do you know?” ask the hero to Ari.

“Take aja,” said Ari with a face still serious.

“Can be anyway,” Nara chimed.

“Ra, photo mama lo the pictures of the school floor plan there

how many?” ask Ari to Nara.

“Many, twenties no times,” replied Nara.

“Tomorrow can you bring all?” ari pinta.

“Bby, tomorrow I bring you,”Answer Nara enthusiastically.

“Lo not reporting to Mr Riza Ri?” ask the hero to Ari.

“Iya, later if indeed he disturbs our school,” replied

Ari.

While in the field, one class 10 boy was seen

he was convicted of wearing red shoes. He was told to run

5 Times and 20 times push-ups. The boy had previously fought

time reprimanded his senior. Several other senior children arrived

that boy's. The atmosphere became excited because the boy was constantly showered with scuffles

and blasphemy from his senior. And no matter how long the push-up takes, the boy falls down

fainted. He was taken to the UKS. While the students are class-10

others continued their activities until noon.

School hours went off early. The hero takes Nara

first to the car park. Ari and Toha had wondered, could be Wira and

Nara is already. And Toha, who has been with Astri, comes to Astri in

bicycle parking. Today they can't go home cycling together. Bicycles

Toha is in the workshop. Actually, this incident has happened often. Because

toha's bike is already knitted. And this afternoon Tata has a therapy schedule at the clinic

psychiatry. Ari will be there as usual.

Toha takes the bus with Ari. On a full bus

claustrophobic, Ari and Toha stood at the back. Toha stood up while holding back

sleepiness. But Ari from earlier was looking around. Because of that feeling

reappeared. Like this morning at the ceremony. And Ari saw the little boy again.

Daughter with full hair. His clothes are white. Both hands

blacker. He slipped among the passengers standing in tails. Ari had

poke Toha. Toha saw it too. But just for a second. Because the boy has already

disappeared among the ranks of the person standing in front.

“That's the boy who took part in the ceremony,” whispered Toha to Ari.

“Iya..” Answer Ari. He was still amazed to see the child again

the little black-handed on the bus.

Ari is still trying to find the whereabouts of the boy on the bus. But

until Ari gets off the bus leaving Toha, he doesn't see her anymore.

***

This is the last day of Tata therapy at a psychiatric clinic.

For almost a month of vacation yesterday, Tata was still following the therapy session. And

Ari always accompanied Tata. Finished therapy, they are always in the meatball stalls

the psychiatric clinic. Like this afternoon. Visitors in the shop are only one

a two. Ari and Tata are in the corner. Their bowls are empty. A bit old Tata

silent, his eyes began to glaze over.

“Why?” ask Ari next to Tata.

“This time we will not be here again,” replied Tata slowly.

“Lha yes. Do you want to continue therapy?” said Ari

joking.

“Iya also anyway,” said Tata with the biggest smile,”Iu

just... fear..”

“Fear why?”

“Fear.. One day we can't see you again.”

Then Ari took her little book. The book was broken and

it always seems to be in Ari's bag. He opened a page and then he showed it to

Tatas. There are the writings of Ari : HARINDRA and Tata : GEM. At

below it again there is the inscription Tata : MATAHARI. Combined from the names Tata and Ari.

The writing was made by Ari and Tata 3 years ago in the same place. In the early days

they met at a psychiatric clinic.

I remember their behavior 3 years ago.

Then Ari took the ball. He pulled Tata's left hand to

table top. In the palm of Tata's hand, Ari wrote : EYES. Ari wrote in

his right hand: DAY. Ari also with her right hand, grasping

left hand Tata.

“We will not be separated,” Ari said.

“Totally?” Tata looked at Ari.

“Truly... Because we are the sun that always shines on the earth,”.

ari said with a serious face.

“Appointment?” Ask Tata. Smile rattled.

“Promise,” Ari replied spontaneously.

“If I disappear, you'll find me?” Ask Tata

joking.

“Iya. I'll find you see,” Ari replied with

the face gets serious.

Then the owner of the meatball stall comes to Ari and Tata's table to

take an empty bowl. Ari and Tata quickly let go of their grasp

them. They are ashamed to see others. The owner of the shop was the fathers

still young at heart. His hair was long tied up. He wears a t-shirt with a group image

rock band. It seems like he understood the behavior of Ari and Tata.

“Casual aja,” said the father of the warung owner while cleaning up

table Ari and Tata,” This let it look clean. Relax here first.”

Ari and Tata were silent. But they're relieved, mr. owner

the shop was friendly with them.

“My son used to be in High School often bring his girlfriend here,

eat meatballs,” said the father of the warung owner. He's already lifted the bowl pile

empty,” The seat is often here too. Sometimes I still feel them

lunch-afternoon still eat meatballs here.”

“Boy died why?” Tata ventured

inquiring.

“Accident, motor use. He was the same puppet

his girlfriend,”ansi mr. warung owner. His face turned serious. Then that father

leaving Ari and Tata for the dishwasher. Ari glanced at

bench opposite.

“They're still there?” ask Tata.

Yes, still,” replied Ari. Ari can see a pair of teenagers

flat-faced with a ragged uniform full of blood.

“Maybe that's what the father meant earlier,” said Tata.

“Yes, maybe. But now I can see the form

originally,” said Ari in a whispering voice.

“Emang kayak how is the original form?”tata asked in a whisper.

“Both of his body items, his eyes are red,”Ari replied.

Tata a little aim. She is grateful to wear it

her necklace. Tata no longer needed to see things like that. And Ari felt

guilty of telling that kind of story to Tata.

“Eh, you know what? Toha will be the same Astri,” said Ari

diverting conversations.

“Iya, know. Astri told me,” said Tata,”They

often make a difference together when going home from school.”

“Iya. But today Toha bike is broken,” said Ari,”He so

can not nganterin Astri.”

Then Ari told me about Toha's bike that was blind. Also

Toha borrowed the money for the bus ride. Ari story about

toha's little brother and Toha's family who live a mediocre life. Although

mr. Toha is a well-known psychic, but Mr. Toha never thought about money.

He just wants to help people.

“Eh, Ri. Can I ask for help?” ask Tata suddenly.

“Why?”ask Ari.

“I want to transfer money. You will love Toha ya.”

“Make a real bike?”

“Neg. Make buy bike.”

“You sure?”

“Iya. I have savings. I just want Astri to be different.

continue to be the same Toha.”

“Ok... But I have no account,”

“Mama you have?”

“Ada.”

“Ya. Ntar send me the account number yes.”

“Ok..”

Remember Toha, Ari so remember this afternoon riding a bus with Toha.

On the bus they saw a little boy with black hands. The little boy who performed the ceremony at

choir line this morning.

“Why?” ask Tata. He saw Ari suddenly fall silent

like thinking hard.

“Neither... No why-why,” replied Ari stammered.

“Idih... Why the hell,” Curious procedure.

“No... I just don't want a story that's as simple as yours,”

said Ari.

“Yes already, you don't need to tell.. But you have to picture,”.

pinta Tata's.

“You sure?”ask Ari.

“Iya.. Please..”Tata install face compress to Ari.

Ari took a book and pencil from her bag. He started

drawing a pale-faced girl. Hair sepunggal. Dress up

white lacy. His hands were black like burnt marks. The boy is

sneaking amongst the people standing in tiled up on the bus. Tata

close her seat to Ari. He was so enthusiastic to see Ari's finger that

nimble to scribble the drawing paper. Tata is not really interested

with what Ari drew. He just wants to be with Ari for longer

that spot. When finished, Ari handed the picture to Tata.

“Before I saw him ceremony time,”said Ari,”I guess

she wants to sing in the choir line.”

“Kok him from school can get out by bus,” tanya Tata

flatfoot.

“Yes that was from earlier I thought,” replied Ari.

Then Ari looked closely at Tata. There's something that

crossed his mind. Tata became worried to see Ari's face so

serious.

“Ta, inget not when you followed the same woman who

wearing flowers,” asked Ari suddenly.

“Iya... Why?” The system is getting worried.

“When you go out the gate, you're like sleepy, like

don't remember that, do you?”

“Iya..”

“Kayak said Mr. Hudi, the woman who used the flower entered

to your body at that time. He also enters Nara's body when she returns to the

school.”

“You mean?”

“Yes, he can go in and out of school if he goes into the body

person.”

“So..”.

“Yes, that little boy can get in and out of our school

because someone brought.”
