The next day, the students involved in the incident
the computer lab was called to the principal's room. The events of yesterday
computer labs have been the talk of the whole school. Haven't
plus news of students fainting in the underground passageway and ghosts
who followed. One of the factors that made yesterday's events so big
it is the coming of the people in the midst of the activity
learn teach. For that, Mr. Riza had previously been called the principal.
Mr. Riza is still lucky not to be expelled from school. He was only given
final warning. But if this happens again, it could be him
will be expelled from school. Ari, Toha, Wira, Nara, Astri and Tata are already
sitting at the headmaster's desk. Lisa was called, but
today he is not reported to have entered. Last night Ari told me
all the things that happened to Lisa on her phone.
From Ari to Tata, one by one they were told to tell
yesterday's events. Because not only the superstitious news that has spread, but also,
but the loss of damage to the table, computer equipment and others is not
a tad. Of course Wira and Nara did not tell me about their rings
or the figure on the ring. Ari was just telling me about a female ghost
which disturbs Astri. And how could he just chase away the ghost. Ari
not telling the real details. Before entering the head room
earlier, Ari warned Tata not to tell him that she could
seeing the four-legged creature, especially to kill it. Ari told Tata
to just say that Tata can't see anything, just like Astri.
Let him, Toha, Wira and Nara tell you.
“Astri and Tata can't see anything sir,” said Ari
asserting his story to the principal, Mr. Suman,” The two of them just
victim.”
“Hmm, so who can see the weird is you, Toha, Wira, Wira,
sama... Nara,” said Mr. Suman.
“Iya Sir,” Ari replied briefly.
“Before I have also often heard from teachers.
you guys, if it's morning, like to gather in the park talk about superstitious things,”kata
Mr. Suman while pointing his finger at Ari, Toha, Wira and Nara,” Start
today, you can no longer gather in the park. Once at school,
go straight to class. Prepare learning. Hurti!”
“Ngerti Pak,” says Ari, Toha, Wira and Nara almost simultaneously
with a resigned voice.
Almost half an hour they were in the principal's room
listening to a lecture from Mr. Suman. When they go out and go back to class,
in every class they passed, almost every student in the class
watching them. Some say Ari and others are a bunch of weird kids,
some even say they're a bunch of devil worshipers. Then Ari asked Tata
and Astri to take another path to return to class. Ari doesn't want to
whatever people say about Ari and his friends, affects Tata
and Astri.
At rest, there were some disciples who declared from
The Anti-Tajayul group came to Ari. They call Ari and give
flyer to Ari. Ari only knows who gave the flyer his call Drago,
one of the managers of OSIS. And there's Jodi among the group. Subsequent to
they left, Ari read the leaflet. It is a petition that
signed by more than 200 students. They don't want any students
they had a foul-smelling activity at school. Then Toha, Wira and Nara
come to Ari and read. Then there's Boncel I read. Then come too
Kocik the class leader and some other Ari class students. Not for long
they read, Kocik took the leaflet and tore it up. Then
Boncel cheerfully clapped loudly.
“Eh, he said Vira would like to give a gift to Ari,” cried Boncel
hard-hard,”Mana nih Vira?”
Then timidly Vira brought a bag of snacks and
given to Ari. Vira said, it was a thank you from his family,
because of Ari and his plot, he survives a female ghost who
hollow back. Ari did not expect, after the various pressures that they
natural from yesterday's incident, there are also those who are kind to him. To cover up
the taste of the fragrance, Ari distributed the snack to the entire class. Although not much,
but the snack could create a festive atmosphere in Ari's class at that time. Ari felt
relieved, for the umpteenth time, she had the support of her classmates, she said,
although other students consider their class an outcast class.

The day changed. There's news that Lisa's out of school.
He moved to school in Papua, living with his father who served there. Lisa needs
attention from his father, his only family left. Hears
the news, Ari felt that there was something she had not finished yet. She still is
keeps Lisa's ring in her bag.
One Sunday, Ari played to Toha's house on a motorcycle
her mother's. It's not really Toha that Ari wants to meet, but Toha's father, sir
Hudi. These few days, after the incident in the computer lab, Ari was always worried
with Tata safety. Mr. Hudi also met Ari, like he already knew that
Ari wants to meet him. Ari told me about what happened a few days ago
in the computer lab to Mr. Hudi.
“From the beginning I saw, Tata was more than you Ri,” said
Mr. Hudi with a heavy voice,” Stay mentally he alone. Time in the lab, though,
his mentality again rose, because he was angry again. But I advise him not to
try to use his ability.”
“But already sir,” said Ari,” I jusru fear the same
his safety.”
“Ya.. during the Dressing of her necklace, I guess she will
alright,” said Mr. Hudi wisely.
Although Ari already knows the usefulness of the necklace, but the words sir
Hudi greatly relieved him.
“Iya Sir, I also hope people padepokan that time
already cleaned our school,” said Ari.
“Actually the time those people came to your school,
not everything has been cleaned,” said Mr. Hudi,” There is still one left…
“So there is still?”Ari tried to contain his surprise.
“That time is still...” said Mr. Hudi in a fixed voice.
relax,”Now there is no.”
“Not exist?” Ari was confused.
“It looks like he's out of your school,” replied Mr. Hudi
“They can't go in and out of our school,” says
Ari,” Unless he's following someone's body..”
“Iya, it could be like that,” said Mr. Hudi.
Ari and Toha looked at each other. But Mr. Hudi then
tell me something else. Mr. Hudi did not want Ari and Toha to think too much about what
what they were talking about just now. After almost an hour of talking, Ari asked
selves.
“Ri, it turns out that our school was still not clean,”
Toha talks again about what his father said before Ari left
her house.
“Ha, we should not talk about this stuff anymore,”
said Ari,” Wira also want to return his ring to his grandfather.”
“Iya actually Ri,” said Toha,” I also want the incident to befall
Astri does not happen again,”It looks like Toha is still traumatized by what happened
the Astri.
Ari nodded her head. He was determined to
no more dealing with things like that. Maybe he won't
drawing a ghost again. Now he is thinking more about Tata's safety. Then
Ari says goodbye and runs his bike leaving Toha.

The moon changed. November has arrived. The 7th
November, Ari's birthday. So too Tata. This year's anniversary is
the seventeenth birthday. A very special moment for a girl like
Tatas. Like the other teenage girls, Tata's seventeenth birthday
very special celebration by his family. All of Tata's friends are invited
with a great event. But that excitement doesn't make Tata comfortable. Even
when the festive event on the 1st floor in Tata's house, Tata even
in the bathroom on the 2nd floor. Long she stared into the mirror at the sink, after
he washed his face with the sink water. Tata feels the make up
make her mom too thick. But that's not what makes him not
snugly. He was thinking of contacting someone he always had
think about this moment. Tata also went out of the bathroom to the balcony of his room. Slowly
he closed the door from the outside. Then he pulled out his phone and called
Ari Number. Not long ago Ari was connected to his phone.
“Halo Ari.”
“Halo Ta.”
“Happy birthday yes Ri.”
“Happy birthday too yes Ta.”
“Where is Ri?”
“At the grave Ta.”
“At the grave?”
“At papa's grave I.”
“O, kirain..”
“Iya, this afternoon I said to mom, I want papa. Continues
mama ngajak pilgrimage. But her mama was not well, so she went home first.
I said same mom, I'll be here a long time ago.”
“Mama you're healthy right Ri?”
“Yes, just lately often not feeling well aja.”
“Ntar if I can stop by, I bring fruit huh Ri. But I
don't know when.”
“Nevent bother Ta... Eh, how is the party Ta?”
“Bosen... I'm again crammed on the balcony.”.
“But it's Ta?”
“Iya.. Jodi also dateng. He was back together again.

“Why not want?”
“No. I can't be myself..”.
“Terus?”
“Yes, keep me staying here, when he talks the same

“You still wear your necklace, right Ta?”
“Still be.”
“Ta, promise me..”
“What promise?”
“Don't take off your necklace for a second.”
“Iya, yes.. I promise.”
“I mean don't let go for a second! For a second!”
“Iya.. Onion ih. But if I take a shower I get taken. Heedfully
gaping by water.”
“I said a second! So if the shower should be
used.”
“O, so... Let me continue with you huh Ri? Take a shower

“Mmmm... Yes, that means..”.
“Eh, Ri. I think my mom is looking for me again. Shrimp first yes
Ri. I'll call again sometime.
“Iya Ta's. Remember the promise yes.”
“Ok. Bye.”
“Bye.”
Ari put her phone in her pocket. He hoped
Tata kept her promise not to let go of her necklace for a second. She didn't
can imagine Tata without that necklace. Especially after the incident in
computer laboratory. Then he looked at the old grave of his father in front.
Something always stuck in his heart about his father's death. Death of his father
which now makes his mother's life suffer. If so, he remembers
one ghost. In his heart he promised his father. He's gonna find the ghost
until any time.
