Comploters Not Afraid of Ghosts

Chapter 59: Indigo Freak

This morning, for the first time, Ari came to school straight to class. After meeting with Tata yesterday, Ari is trying to live a normal life as an SMU student. Moreover, Ari has promised

Tata to get into a favorite university. In class, Ari tries not to care if Nara and Wira do not talk to him anymore. At least Ari can still talk to Toha. In the evening, Ari studied early and finished until almost eleven. Then there was a notification sound on Ari's phone. It turns out there was a message from Tata. Ari opened it. There's a photo Tata sent. Ari was surprised, it was a photo of Nara's car parked at school. Then there's a scribble: FREAK at the door. Looks like someone scrawled Nara's car using spray paint. Then there was Tata's message under the photo: Ri, this is the morning I photographed Nara's car in the parking lot. Without a second thought, Ari immediately contacted Nara. But twice Ari calls, Nara doesn't pick up her phone. Ari called Wira. The hero also raised Ari's call.

“Halo, Wir,” Ari directly talk,” I just can send a photo from Tata... Nara's car is doodled ya Wir?”

“Emang what care lo Ri,” the voice of Wira sounded ogah-ogahan.

“If something happens to Nara, or you guys, I care Wir..”

“If you care about Nara, already from yesterday you support the idea Ri.”

“Wir, if I don't agree with Nara's idea, it doesn't mean I don't care about her.

“Udah deh Ri. I'm sleepy. Want to sleep.”

Then the hero hung up his phone. At first Ari was shocked. But he finally understood. Naturally the hero behaves so. Ari feels that she still cares about Nara and Wira. And Ari knew who she had to find the info on.

Tomorrow, Ari comes early to school, directly to see Mr. Min. Mr. Min is getting ready with his cleaning tools. Without further ado Ari immediately asked about Nara and Wira's plan to enter the underground passage that was supposed to be done two nights ago.

“Before I want to come, Mr. Min,”kata Ari berkilah,” Suddenly not so, because the body is carefree.”

Mr. Min looked at Ari for a moment. Of course he wouldn't tell anyone what Nara and Wira had done. But Mr. Min considers, Ari is still part of Nara and Wira. Then Mr. Min took Ari to a quiet place near the garbage disposal.

“Gini Ri...” Mr. Min's voice was slow,” That night was around ten, Neng Nara and Wira so went into the hallway. I keep it in front.The thing is that Neng Nara's car is outside the fence. Trus I see, if it's not wrong there are three or four children on the deck of Neng Nara's car,” Pak Min looks at it for a moment, afraid that someone heard the talk.

“What is it like, Mr Min?” ari asked impatiently.

“Ya.. Trus I came to, I kicked the kids out. But Neng Nara's car has been scribbled. I went straight to the hall to call Neng Nara. When I told you, Neng Nara and Wira were back in the car, straight home.”

“Those squeaky kids who's Mr Min?” ask Ari seriously.

“Lack of know.. It was dark,”answered Mr. Min,”Soal Neng Nara car parked in a dark place..”.

Ari also thanked Mr. Min for the info. Now Ari knows what happened. And Ari knew, Nara and Wira had really carried out their plans.

As Ari walked towards the classroom, he saw that the construction workers had started working to close the underground passageway. The plan, the computer laboratory moved to the third floor and the basement will be used

storeroom. The first hour there was Mr. Riza's lesson. After the lesson, Mr. Riza told Ari to meet him in the teacher's room after school. Ari curious. It has been almost two months Ari has never met Mr. Riza to talk about things about ghosts. But if Mr. Riza later asked him about things related to ghosts, he would not say it even though a few days ago he saw a female disciple drifting without legs. Ari thought, this is for the good of Mr. Riza as well.

Then the next hour is a sports lesson. There was an incident after the sports lesson was over. While the girls were changing clothes in class, Nara did not find her jacket. Usually he keeps it in a desk drawer during sports. But this time he didn't find it.

“Lo forgets his narrows, Ra?” said Boncel,”missed in toilet time?”

Then some girls helped Nara find her jacket. Including Ari also helped, even though he knew Nara still did not want to be friends with him. But still Nara's jacket doesn't meet until the next lesson bell rings. In the following hours, Nara felt uncomfortable without wearing her jacket. Ari knows that. Since then Ari noticed Nara always sitting restless. Wira offers Nara to wear her jacket, but Nara does not want to. Ari begins to connect the loss of Nara's jacket with the graffiti on Nara's car. Since Ari knew, Nara couldn't possibly forget to put down her jacket. The red hooded jacket was already a part of Nara's life. Every sport, Nara always folds it neatly and she puts it in the desk drawer. And today Ari saw it for himself Nara did that.

After the bell home from school, Ari meets Mr. Riza in the teacher's room. Ari was told to sit down first, because Mr. Riza would invite Ari to talk in the motorcycle parking lot. While Mr. Riza was cleaning his desk, Ari had a look around. There were some teachers still talking in one corner. And there Ari also saw the Headmaster, Mr. Suman, among the teachers. But Ari felt strange, because usually if there was Mr. Suman, the teachers would not dare to joke around like Ari saw now. And it's true. Ari saw Mr. Suman move like he was floating. And the teachers there no one knows Mr. Suman's presence. When Ari saw Mr. Suman coming out of the crowd of teachers there, Ari could not see his feet. Then Ari saw Mr. Suman move

go to the teacher's toilet and disappear there.

“What's Ri?” ask Mr. Riza who saw the strangeness of Ari's attitude.

“E... Nothing, Sir,” said Ari quickly covered his surprise earlier when he saw the figure of the principal.

Mr. Riza had a look towards the crowd of teachers Ari had seen earlier. And Ari was trying to calm down. Then Mr. Riza took Ari to the motor park. Near his bike, Mr. Riza took a book from his bag, then he handed it to Ari. The book is thick, with a nice paper cover, the title is big-picture: INDIGO CHILDREN PHENOMENON. Under her is the author's name: dr. Ririn Lestari Sp.KJ's.

“That nulis my sister,” said Mr. Riza.

“Sister of the Father..”

“Iya Ri, my sister who can see ghosts. Who ever left home. He went to medical school until he graduated. Then he took a psychiatrist. Just last week I met and had an old chat with him”

Then Ari looked again at the thick book that was in his grasp.

“The book is for you,” said Mr. Riza,”There are many scientific explanations about a child like you, and your friends. I mean, you guys can look up to my sister. Kids like you can stay normal, like my sister's a psychiatrist. My sister was often bullied. Including me also used to bully him,” now Mr. Riza's face looks sad.

Ari was still looking at the book. He wasn't sure he could read such a book. Then Mr. Riza left Ari on his bike. At night, after studying, Ari still looked at the book given by Mr. Riza who is now lying on his desk. Ari remembers Tata. Soon he'll show the book to Tata. Then he remembered the figure of the principal he had seen in the teacher's room earlier this afternoon. He didn't tell Mr. Riza at the time. There's no one

in this world he would tell about the existence of that legless principal figure. Except Tata. He won't keep anything secret to Tata. Because that's what Tata wants from him. Then Ari picked up his pencil and drawing book. He began to draw the figure of the legless principal who was in the crowd of teachers.

When she finished, Ari took a picture of it with her phone and she sent it to Tata. Under the photo, he wrote a message: This is a secret for both of us. Met Bobok's. Sweet Dreams.

Ari came to school early in the morning. But upon entering the gate, Ari saw a crowd of many disciples around the large tree closest to the gate. Several disciples were seen running around to join the crowd. Ari was shocked when she looked up at the tree. Among the branches of the tree, there are bolsters hung using a rope and the shape is made like a pocong, complete with a graffiti of the face that is made sinister. Then in the bolster was worn a red jacket and hooded. Ari knows it's Nara's jacket. Nara's jacket from yesterday

gone. And in the middle of the suspended roll was a scribble that read: FREAK. As she thrust into the crowd, Ari saw that Nara was already under the tree. Nara was screaming hysterically at her jacket. He tried to climb trees many times. Many times he fell. The hero is there. He was trying to calm Nara. But Nara was hysterical and forced to climb a tree even though she could never do so. Seeing that, Ari immediately took off her backpack and started climbing up the tree. Until at the very end of the branch Ari tried to reach the rolling rope. While under the tree the crowd of disciples were growing more and more. Some secretly record with a cell phone, the scene of Ari who has reached the bolster made to look like the pocong. Then Ari went down, took off the red jacket from the bolster and handed it to Nara. Nara picked up her jacket and immediately ran to the crowd while closing

his face, because his crying spilled there.

“Ngapain y'all look around!” Shouted Wira to the crowd of students who seemed to get a free spectacle this morning.

The hero almost got into a fight with a group of disciples who from earlier were seen sneering. But Ari hastily broke Wira. Then the hero ran away from Ari, following Nara who had gone from there. Now Ari is alone in the crowd of students. Ari saw their faces. Someone laughed. There is cynicism. Someone looks disgusted. Then among them Ari sees Toha and Astri who can only look at Ari from a distance. Then in the other corner there's Tata. It seems like Tata wants to move closer to Ari. But Ari hurriedly looked at Tata sharply and shook his head slowly. Ari signals Tata not to approach her. Ari does not want Tata to be labeled “freak”. Because now Ari knows, it's called for them. Freak!
