Comploters Not Afraid of Ghosts

Chapter 65: The Skeleton-Faced Ghost

Today, during the first hour of rest, as usual, Ari and Tata meet at their secret place. Ari told Tata about the CCTV footage she saw yesterday afternoon on Wira's laptop.

“It seems, the problem is so serious yes Ri...” said Tata.

“Iya Ta,” Ari looks at the silver necklace that is still circular on the neck of Tata,” Never take off your necklace yes Ta..”

“Iya Ri..” says Tata while holding his capsule-shaped pendulum necklace.

“Our school hallway is still problematic.” Ari mutters.

“But there were already people at that time Ri...” said Tata.

“Inget no Ta, the time of the incident in the computer lab..?”

“Iya Ri.. They broke into our school, benefitin the children who passed out..”.

“Ta, if I think about it. All because of the ghost of the high shadow.. At that time, Mr. Hud said he did not take the same people padepokan… And if she nyaru people.. Her legs are not visible.”.

“And he is now impersonating Mr. Suman..?” ask Tata.

“Iya Ta... I think so.”

“So, he can enter another ghost here again dong..?” ask Tata again.

“Iya.. Kayak ghost whose path kayang it Ta..”.

A few moments later, Ari and Tata looked at each other.

“But Ri... I think. For example, there will be a problem. You don't have to follow Ri. Then you do not need to tell the same story Toha, the same Nara, the same Wira.”.

“Iya Ta. I'm just worried, if anything happens to you.”

Tata looked at Ari deeply. Then he held Ari's hand. She knew that no matter what, Ari would always protect her.

“Belinda's ghost is not coming again right Ri?”

“Last night did not come Ta..”

“I hope he doesn't nyamperin you again,” says Tata

“Says I was told to have her?” Ask Ari

“Nggak ah... Not so.. I don't want him to come to you again,” said Tata with a face contorted pout.

“Iya Ta.. Hopefully he does not come again,” Ari said seriously.

Suddenly Ari stood up and stared at the door that was connected to the toilet. Ari quickly threw away his face. Only his eyes were still glancing in that direction. Because there, Ari saw a hunchback figure wearing a stick with a skull face that pierced the door. He walked limped towards the front of Mr. Min's house. Tata who from earlier saw Ari, so tense.

“What's Ri?” Tata asked half a whisper.

Ari remained silent. He was still watching the hunchback figure with the face of the skull earlier. Because it turns out that figure is still visible to him. The figure stopped and sat in a corner, next to Mr. Min's house.

“Ri, what's up?” Tata asked impatiently.

Ari looked at Tata for a moment and at a glance she saw Tata's necklace.

“Ta, we must go from here deh,” said Ari while glancing to the side of Mr. Min's house.

“What's the matter Ri?” Tata more curious.

“Ntar the night I picture yes,” said Ari with a tense face, “Now you are back to class aja. Wherever not alone ya.”

“Iya Ri...” Tata quickly moved, because he saw Ari's face getting tense.

Ari also drove Tata to the door. Ari knew, that figure was still in that corner. Ari wants to go to Tata to go straight to class. Ari's worry is so great at the moment, not because of the skull-faced hunchback ghost sitting in the corner alone, Ari feels there is something else besides the ghost. Ari came out of Mr. Min's house from the other side. He did not want to cross paths with the skull-faced hunchback figure earlier. But once Ari was in front of Mr. Min's house, suddenly in front of him through a large black figure hairy. Ari did not pay much attention to the figure anymore, because she had already taken quick steps to immediately return to her class. While walking in the classroom hallway, Ari passed by other students. But Ari could feel something there. Among the group of students who passed by her, Ari caught a glimpse of the woman in the clothes of sisters who walked with them. Ari had a look at the sister's face. He could see blood flowing out of his eyes. Ari also tried to speed up his pace.

Arriving at the class, Ari crosses paths with Toha. Ari saw Toha's face also tense up. For a moment they looked at each other. But something can't be said from their mouths. Once sitting on his stool, Ari had turned to Nara and Wira. Just like Toha. Ari saw the faces of Nara and Wira so tense. And Nara's already wearing the hood of her jacket. As the lesson progresses, Ari's feelings get more and more unpleasant. And from the classroom window, there was a quiet hallway. Not long after, Ari saw a woman passing by there. She's wearing a nurse's suit. Ari saw that there was blood coming out of her eyes. Ari glanced at Toha. Then Nara and Wira. Their faces were tense and did not seem to concentrate on the lesson that was being taught by the teacher in front. Ari knew, they also saw the same thing in the hallway of the classroom. And before, they might have seen something as well. The problem right now is that Toha, Nara and Wira are not talking to each other. And they knew, Ari was reluctant to talk about such things again. In fact, Ari is still talking to Tata. Until the bell rang, among the students who left the class, Ari, Toha, Nara and Wira had a look at each other. But just for a second. There's something

they should talk about it like before. But now, it was like there was a distance separating them. They just kept quiet and walked home in their own directions.

Later that night, while studying, Ari could not concentrate. Even though Ari had intended not to press him again but still what he saw today, was always in his mind. Especially if he has thought about Tata's safety. And Ari can't wait to draw something for Tata. Until Ari decided not to continue learning. He took his drawing paper and pencil. He began to draw a figure that walked hunched down using a stick. His face was a skull with sparse, long hair. Then he sent the picture to Tata with the message: I will always be there for you.

Before long Ari put down her phone, she smelled it again. Two days did not appear, now the smell of jasmine is smelled again. And Ari knew, he was there, sitting on his bed. Ari tried to gather her courage.

“Belinda...” Ari managed to make his voice sound raucous.

There was no answer from the bed. Slowly Ari directs his sitting position in that direction. And Ari saw the pale-skinned, blond-haired juvenile figure was there. She was wearing a ballet, sitting neatly on the edge of the bed. Her blue and red eyes were staring at Ari. Her tiny lips started to smile.

“I like to see people who are drawing.” Belinda makes a sound.

Ari thought, Belinda has been there since she started drawing.

“You have lived in the Square Building for a long time.?” Ari tried asking something.

“I used to live under the time of many blondes,” said Belinda, “When the narrow-eyed man came, I moved up. Now I like it above. You are under noise.”

“Whispering?” Ask Ari,”Emang why is it noisy?”

“Now many are coming from the port,” Belinda said.

“Lewat the underground passageway?” ask Ari.

“Guardian Road?” Ari is still confused, “That highway gets to the hospital?” Ari tried fishing with questions.

“Iya,” replied Belinda while nodding.

Ari suspects, maybe what Belinda meant, the highway is an underground passageway that connects the port, the Square Building and Ari school.

“Anyone has entered the hospital..” said Belinda flat.

Ari looked at the pale face of Belinda. What Belinda meant by the hospital was her school.

“How can they get into school... Emm... I mean to the hospital?” ask Ari stammering.

“There are anterin them in the hospital..” Reply Belinda.

“Who?” ari asked with concern.

“Ngga knows.. They say so,” replied Belinda accordingly.

“They are who?” Ari was worried.

“Yes they... Those who want to get into the hospital,” answered Belinda plain.

“They are also looking for Tata?” ask Ari.

“Tata?”

“Iya... Temen me..”.

“Your boyfriend?”

“Iya... My girlfriend..”.

“Your boyfriend loves the same flowers you love..”

“Iya, she likes flowers..”

“I also like flowers..”

“So anyone is looking Tata nak?”

“Here is good if it rains again.” says Belinda.

Ari glanced at the window of her room. The window glass looks wet with raindrops and lightning seems to be flashing in the sky.

“Can I stay here tonight?” ask Belinda.

“Belinda... Please... Anyone looking for Tata no?” ari asked with a pleading face.

Belinda looked at Ari with a small smile.

“So... Can I stay here tonight?”

“Mmm... Yes.. Can...” said Ari resignedly.

Belinda looked deeper into Ari. Now his smile is wide.

“So... Anyone looking for Tata no?” Ari asked again.

Belinda's smile grew wider. Then he looked at the window, as if he was enjoying the rain that was seen there.

“Many are looking for your girlfriend..” said Belinda flat while still looking out the window.

Ari swallowed his saliva. His worries became more.

“But the only one who can enter the hospital is..” said Belinda again.

“How does it look like?” ask Ari impatiently,” She hunchback, her face skull?”

Belinda was silent. His face seemed to think of something.

“She's big hairy... Or wear a nurse's shirt, keep her eyes out of blood? Ask Ari again.

“He had one eye,” Belinda said.

“Terus..” asked Ari who felt not enough with Belinda's answer.

“Giginya long,” says Belinda.

“Terus..” Ari still asks.

“I want to play first ah...” says Belinda,” Ntar I'm back again yes..”

Then Belinda got out of Ari's bed. And like a child eager to play in the rain, Belinda tiptoed to the window. Then he disappeared there. Through the window glass that is already full of rain.

Ari was still looking at her window. It wasn't Belinda that he thought, but Tata. He still hoped that what Belinda said was not true. And he was still in doubt as to whether he should tell Tata. He didn't want Tata to be worried. The sound of rain is still clearly out there. And Ari's sleepiness started coming. Ari fell on her bed. Then there's a message coming in from Tata on his phone. Among the drowsiness, Ari was still reading Tata's message: I always knew, you would definitely be there for me. Have a good night Ari.

“Good sleep Ari,” Suddenly the voice of Belinda is heard from above Ari.

Ari's eyes were wide open. The sleepiness disappeared immediately. As he looked, Belinda was facing towards him, clinging to the ceiling right above him. His little smile was still there. For a long time Belinda's eyes clenched. And Ari couldn't help but look at Belinda on it. Belinda's pale face now looks calm like she's asleep. And Ari doesn't seem to be able to sleep tonight.
