Comploters Not Afraid of Ghosts

Chapter 62: Ari and the Order in the Square Building

Today is a special day for Ari and Tata. They had already designed their plans, the day before. After continuing the discussion of the scientific work project at Astri's house later, Ari and Tata will leave for the Square building from there.  Of course Tata's mother Tata is at home Astri working on a scientific project. The plan, Ari and Tata will ride the bike. Ari has borrowed a jacket and helmet ojek online owned by his neighbors so that later if anyone recognizes Tata on the road, they year Tata is riding ojek online. This morning at school,

Nara has gone to school. Nara knows today Ari and Tata will be. And Ari had secretly brought a rose with her on Nara's advice. Nobody knows, except Nara, Toha and Astri that Ari and Tata will be.

In the afternoon, Ari and Tata actually took a motorcycle ride from Astri's house. Toha and Astri drive to the front of the house. They are happy, their friends are finally ready.

“Eh, where do you want to be anyway?” Astri asked when Ari and Tata were on the bike.

“There deh...” Tata replied jokingly,” We want this to be a secret for both of us.” Especially for Astri, Tata was deliberately secret their birthplace, even though Toha actually already knew.

“O, so. Very romantic you guys,” said Astri plain.

Then Ari runs his bike leaving Toha and Astri.

The sky is a little cloudy. Ari launched his motorbike among other vehicles on the road to the Square Building. This is the first experience for Ari riding a motorcycle with a girl and also for Tata to babble a motorcycle

with the boys. They are still concerned, in case anyone recognizes them, even though they have a helmet with a cover on the face. But for Tata this is a new sensation after all this time everywhere he just ride his car or take a taxi. Now with Ari, he could feel the roar of the wind and the bustle of the city as they passed through the streets.

Arriving at the Square building, Ari parked his motorbike in a wild parking lot nearby. Ari and Tata went to the front page. In one corner of the courtyard, there was already a crowd of crews who seemed to be making a guts test event later tonight. Ari and Tata walked together while observing the old building in front of them. Actually from the time I entered the page, Ari's feeling bad. But he tried to ignore it. Because he did not want to lose the moment of being able to walk together with Tata. Ari had a glance at the silver necklace that was still coiled around Tata's neck.

“You see something, Ri?” Tata asked, but his face was smiling.

“No, there is nothing,” replied Ari, although it had a glimpse of black shadows flashed between a row of large windows.

Tata knows, Ari lied to calm himself. But that way, Tata even more happy.

“You sure?” ari said to Tata before they entered the building. Ari doesn't care if Tata cancels their plans, because he knows what's inside the building.

Tata nodded his head many times with sparkling eyes, a sign he had no doubt about their plan. And they set foot into the old building. The roof of the building is high.

Here and there are many Dutch era ornaments that have not been maintained. Ari deliberately invites Tata to avoid the road towards the basement. Because in the building lobby Ari had seen the shadows of people crawling on the ceiling. But Tata apparently enjoyed the tension on Ari's face while holding her necklace pendulum. Then Ari saw a black figure as tall as a building not far from them standing. Ari looked at Tata.

“You scared?” Ask Ari.

“Gak...” Ans Tata,” Can be you..”.

Ari knows, Tata still wears her necklace. But still he was worried. Then Ari took Tata and took her up the stairs.

“We went up that ladder aja,” Ari said. He felt the atmosphere was more calming up there.

“Ok..” says Tata according to. He'll follow wherever Ari takes him.

They also began to climb a wide ladder that rotated. Ari felt more and more shadows crawling on the ceiling. And it seemed like the large black figure behind was starting to approach. Ari also tightened his grip to the hands of Tata and Tata also replied tighter. Ari guides Tata to walk

faster to get to the top. And as soon as above, the dim atmosphere changed. The sunlight is so bright. They both reached the top of the tower. They could see the atmosphere of the square freely. Tata also close its stand on the edge of one of the large window holes. He was amazed at the sight he could see from the top of the tower.

“Good Ri, the view,” said Tata while enjoying the afternoon breeze that hit his face and hair.

Ari was relieved Tata could finally enjoy this place as well, although he was still worried about what was below. And Ari felt it was time she had to give a rose she brought to Tata. Ari

quickly bring out the flowers. Something is strange for Ari. He took out a rose, but what was smelled in that place was even a jasmine flower. Ari also tried not to pay attention to it, because Tata had already seen him holding a flower.

“This is for you Ta,” said Ari handed the flower to Tata. And Ari is getting stronger smelling jasmine flowers.

Tata immediately received the flower and kissed it deeply while not stopping to look at Ari. And Ari felt that there was another figure with them in that place.

“Means we are soan ya Ri,” says Tata Flowering.

“Iya, we are Ta...” said Ari.

“We will not be separated right Ri,” said Tata with a hopeful face.

“Iya Ta, we will not be separated.” Ari said seriously.

Then Ari was silent for a moment. Because for a long time he could see clearly the figure that turned out from earlier watching the two of them.

“What's Ri?” Tata asked half in a whisper, after seeing Ari's face change.

Ari remained silent. He hesitated to tell Tata.

“You see something?” Ask Tata.

“Iya..” replied Ari while glancing towards his left side.

Tata tried to look there, but he saw nothing. You know, it's because of the necklace she wears.

“Serem Yes Ri?” Ask Tata.

“Gak...” Ari replied.

“Emang kayak how is she Ri?”

“She's a girl.. I think she's our age Deh Ta.. But she's bule, wearing ballet.”

“People Netherlands?”

“Maybe.. From earlier he worried about us.”.

Ari looked a little surprised. Because that figure was now asking him to talk.

“Why Ri,” Ask Curious.

“She spoke Ta..”

“What does he say?”

“Says he's happy to see people falling in love with each other.”.

Tata feels strange, it turns out that ghosts know also about falling in love. But at least he was not afraid. Then Ari's face started to turn red.

“What Ri,” Curious look Ari's face so dazed.

“Mmmm...” Ari is hesitant to say it.

“She said what the hell Ri ?” Tata more curious.

“Mmm she says.. She says that people in love should kiss each other..”.

“Ih... There-there is only him..” says Tata. But now Tata's face is blushing.

Then Ari for a while seemed to be listening.

“Ta, he said he can't see you,” said Ari,” But he said he can still smell you.”.

“She says you smell good everywhere.”.

For a moment Tata was stunned, so was Ari.

“Says these few days, under many who are looking for people who smell like you..Said them from the port, through here, want to go to the hospital.”.

Ari remembered the map of the city that Nara had placed in her room. On the map Nara drew a thick line between the port, the Square Building and their school.

“Ta, he said the one in the lobby already smells you,” said Ari. His face is tense. “We were told to leave from here Ta.”

Without a second thought, Ari and Tata rushed out of the place. But when going down the stairs earlier, Ari's steps stopped.

“Ta, he said we were told to go down the other stairs,” said Ari.

Ari and Tata found another staircase at the end of the room. They both immediately went down the stairs. The same circular width ladder. But this one goes straight to the exit. And finally with

half-run, they both got outside. But Tata suddenly stopped his steps.

“Ri! The flowers..” Tata said.

“Why Ta?” Ari asked looking at Tata's confused face.

“It looks like the flowers fell on the stairs deh Ri,” said Tata.

“Udah is okay Ta,” said Ari,” Later I buyin again,” Ari feel Tata safety is more important. Especially now that he knows, even though Tata can't be seen by them, but they can still smell Tata.

“Ri, we must go back there, take the flowers,” said Tata with a whining face.

“Ta, please.. They already smell you Ta...”

Tata bit her lip. His face looks disappointed. The flowers mean so much to him now.

“Ri, please, we have to go back there.” says Tata with face.

weld.

Ari also can not not not meet Tata's request, regardless of the risk. But before Ari agrees, Tata's phone rings. It was from his mother. Tata also picked up his phone.

“Halo Ma..”.

“Halo Ta, you are still at Astri's house?” Ask Tata's mother on Tata's phone.

“Still Ma... It's coming home. Tata ride ojek online only. Ride a taxi afraid of traffic jams, long until home.”

“O so.. Be careful yes... Cepetan, because it already wants rain.”

“Iya Ma..”

Tata shut down his phone. He looked at Ari for a moment. It looks like he has to give up the flower.

The drizzle began to fall when Ari and Tata glided on the bike. Tata was still thinking about the roses left behind in the Square building. He's trying to pass. And he hugged Ari tightly from behind. He's gonna let the flower go. But he didn't want to lose Ari. His embrace is getting tighter. He rested his head on Ari's back while watching the street atmosphere in a drizzle passing by and they stayed behind. Then Tata remembered the ghost in the tower of the Square Building.

“Ri, later you picture the ghost in the tower yes.” said Tata.

“Why Ta..” Ari didn't hear much Tata's voice because

the noise of the streets.

Tata also brought his head closer to Ari.

“Let you picture the ghost in the tower yes!” tata more words

strenuously.

“Iya Ta!”

They also arrived in front of Tata's house. It just so happens that Tata's mother is seen in the courtyard. Looks like Tata's mom just got out of her car. And Tata's mother has seen Tata. Tata also quickly went down. He handed over his online motorcycle helmet to Ari and took out a money sheet from his wallet. He handed the money to Ari.

“Still yes Sir,” says Tata hard-hard.

“Still Neng,” Reply Ari.

Secretly Ari and Tata tried to hold back the laughter due to their own behavior. Ari leaves Tata. Only the look in their eyes could say goodbye to this day.

Later that night, after studying, Ari began drawing ghosts in the tower of the Square Building. After that Tata sent a message on Ari's phone so as not to forget the order. Ari also drew a teenage girl figure,

pale skinned and blonde. She's wearing ballet. And what makes it a little spooky is that one of his eyeballs is red. Ari also added a red color in the eye and a blue color in the eye next to it. After that, Ari sent the picture to Tata with a message: Good night and good dreams. We will never be separated.

After this afternoon riding a motorbike, Ari's body felt a little tired. Ari slammed her body into the bed. But there was a sound notification on Ari's phone, it turns out there is a message from Tata.

Tata : Ri, her ghost is really beautiful, you have no crush on her?

Then Ari replied to him.

Ari: Lailah Ta, she's a ghost

Tata: but she is beautiful

Ari: pretty how, look at the eyes of the one red, serem

Tata : Yes, yes, I've bobok first yes, thanks for the picture tonight, bye

Ari : bye

Then Ari put the phone down. For a long time his eyes felt heavy. The sleepiness was not restrained anymore. And tonight it's raining pretty hard out there. So sleepy, Ari forgot to turn off her room lights like

usually he sleeps. Until the rain outside starts to subside. Between the drizzling sounds, Ari felt that something was lying on top of her. Ari slept on her back, and on top of Ari, her body stretched out face down, hovering right above her. Ari tried

opened his eyes, but he couldn't. But for a long time Ari could see a face so close to his face. The face was the face of the pale-faced and blonde-haired girl who was in the tower of the Square Building. So close to that face that Ari's lips almost came into contact with hers. Ari could look into her sharp blue and red eyes. Ari tried to rebel. And Ari woke up. He sat down with his breath still irregular. It turned out to be just a dream. But Ari felt strange, because the picture of the girl was now on his lap. As Ari remembered, she had already placed the picture on her study table. Or maybe Ari forgot because he was so tired. Then with a gontai step Ari put the picture to his desk. Ari glanced at the wall clock. The clock hand is pointing at the number three. Then Ari smelled jasmine flowers. Spontaneous Ari hurriedly returned to his bed. Ari pulled the blanket up to the neck. Ari tried to close his eyes because the smell of jasmine was still smelled by him. Ari also tried not to pay attention to him. Because his body was tired, Ari finally fell asleep. Until the morning she was awakened by her mother knocking on her bedroom door.

“Ari! Wake up! It's 6 o'clock, later you're late,” Ari's mother's voice sounds loud in front of the room.

“Iya Ma,” Ari replied with a still hoarse voice,” Ari has woken up,” it turns out Ari woke up bad luck than usual.

Ari quickly got out of bed. But as he passed his study table, his steps came to a halt. He saw the picture of the pale-faced, blond-haired girl on the study table. And

on top of the picture is a rose. It was the flower that yesterday in the Square Building, Ari love to Tata.
