Today, for the second time, Ari is almost late to come to school. Last night Ari really couldn't sleep. Almost overnight Belinda was lying on the ceiling just above Ari lying on the bed. Only after the rain subsided outside did the pale-faced teenage ghost leave Ari's room. The sleepiness is still creeping Ari's eyes. Several times Ari must rubbed her eyes while walking in the school yard. Suddenly someone called his name.
“Ari! Here!” it turns out that Mr. Min called Ari. Mr. Min
there in the bike parking lot, waving his hands to Ari.
Ari stepped her feet there. From far away, Ari can
seeing Mr. Min's face was confused, like fear. Several times Mr. Min
looking at the left.
“What's Mr Min?” ari said arriving at the bicycle parking lot.
Mr. Min looked at the left again.
“Ri, last night I saw the devil..Strong serem..!” said Mr. Min broken.
“How bad Mr. Min,” Ari so remember the story of Belinda about the ghost of one eye and long toothed who he said looking for Tata.
“The body is hunchback.. His face is like a jerky... Ih, really cool!” said Mr. Min,” I asked Toha, but he said he did not know anything.”
“The suit is next to Mr Min's house on the left?” ask Ari.
“Iya, actually Ri,” said Mr Min, “Kok you know? What is the reason for coming here Neng Nara same Wira into the hallway huh?”
“Ngot know also yes Mr. Min,”answered Ari,” Try, if you can, Mr. Min do not pass by the side of the house on the left.”
Then Ari excused himself to Mr. Min, because the bell had rung. Ari hopes that the skull-faced hunchback ghost is just hanging out in his place, to the left of Mr. Min's house. Arriving in the hallway of the classroom, Ari was astonished, in the hallway of the 11th grade, many students had yet to enter the classroom. And in one of the classes, almost all of his students were outside of the classroom. They were clustered with confused and anxious faces. It seems like something happened in that class. Ari also slammed into the crowd. He asked one of the students there. He said when the bell came in, the teacher's chair moved by itself, dragged to the front door. Ari saw, the teacher's chair was still right in front of the door. Then Ari felt something in the crowd of disciples. And there Ari saw a woman wearing a nurse's suit whose eyes were bleeding. Then a teacher came. The teacher tried to calm the students down, and told them to go to class. Students from other classes were told to return to their own classes. And Ari just realized, there was Toha, Nara and Wira. But they stood far apart. They went back to class on their own. Ari had met with Toha, Nara and Wira. But it was like something was stuck between them. Just a look in the eye, the rest of them will keep the events of this morning in the minds of each. Ari is sure, Toha, Nara and Wira also saw women in sister clothes there. But the truth is, what Ari wants to do today is look for the ghost Belinda told me about. A ghost that says Tata's. One-eyed and long-toothed ghost. And this morning, as soon as Ari woke up, she sent a message to Tata not to meet first in their secret place and told Tata to stay in her class.
When the first break bell rang, Ari went straight out of class. The plan, during the first and second breaks, Ari will go around his school, to prove Belinda's words are true. He'll be looking for a one-eyed, long-toothed ghost. Because right now, he was really worried about Tata's safety.
Ari began his search from Mr. Min's house. There he still saw a ghost hunchback skull-faced. The ghost just sat there quietly. But other than that hunchback ghost, he did not see the others around
situ. Then Ari passed through the empty land behind the canteen. There Ari saw a large and hairy figure, which seemed to have just been pacing around in the empty field. While walking quickly, Ari tried to pay attention to the face of the figure.Ari only saw his two red eyes and his face full of feathers. The figure is not one-eyed and not long-toothed. Then Ari to the front yard of the school, the park, the parking lot, as well as the basketball court. But Ari didn't see anything there. Precisely near the basketball court, Ari passed by a group of basketball children who seemed to have noticed Ari's behavior.
“Freak!” said one of them.
Ari immediately left, trying not to notice them. The gang of basketball boys were still laughing at Ari. And Ari knew, Jodi was there too. Ari doesn't care about them. All that's in Ari's head is Tata's safety. While passing through the toilet, Ari noticed there was a furore there. Some female students came out. Some of them were screaming hysterically. Ari asked one of the female students who was there. He said in one of the bathrooms, the water faucet was dead
by oneself. Ari also went into the toilet. And in one of the bathrooms, Ari saw a ghost walking by kayang near the faucet. Ari quickly moved and tried to get to another corner around it. But Ari did not see anything other than the ghost that walked by meyang earlier. Ari is still trying to find. Wish he saw a one-eyed, long-toothed ghost. Then the teacher came to calm the students. Ari saw the ghost that walked kayang already out
restrooms.
“Hey, why are you boys in the girls toilet!” said madam teacher. His eyes glared, looking at Ari who was still standing in front of the toilet.
Ari immediately ran past the teacher's mother to her class because the bell had run.
After the break there was Mr. Riza's lesson. At the end of the lesson, Mr. Riza had a message to Ari to meet him in the motor park later on the second break. Ari had never seen Mr. Riza's face so stiff at this time. Usually Mr. Riza calls him after the school bell and meets him in the teacher's room first. Ari had seen Toha, Nara and Wira looked at him when Pak Riza spoke to him. Ari knows, Toha, Nara and Wira also feel something is in their school. But it seems they will just keep quiet.
As soon as the break bell rang, Ari headed straight to the motor park. There Mr. Riza was waiting for him. Mr. Riza looked right left for a while and waited around the deserted parking lot.
“Ri, I want to talk about Mr. Suman..” said Mr. Riza quietly, after there was no one around the parking lot.
“What's wrong with Mr Suman, Sir?” Ask Ari. Ari was curious, because she knew something was going on with Mr. Suman.
“Gini Ri,” Mr. Riza lowered his voice,” I think, lately Mr. Suman his behavior is strange. The more the day the stranger.”.
“Means...?”Ari was curious.
“Sori Ri, because I don't know who to talk to. All the teachers are talking about it. Mr. Suman often locked himself in his room. Even he said until Maghrib he just came home. Many say... And I've heard it myself, he was in his room often talk to himself.”
Mr. Riza stopped talking for a while because there were some students passing by nearby.
“Now, he's like not being taken care of,” said Mr. Riza again after being quiet, ”Come to school his hair is fussy. Yesterday his wife came to Selolah. And they long quarreled in the room.”.
Ari looked at Mr. Riza's tense face. Because Ari felt that way. Ari had seen the figure of Mr. Suman who did not see his legs. Then he had seen CCTV footage on Wira's laptop that captured the figure of Mr. Suman.
“Teacher said, should Mr. Suman check to a psychiatrist,”Pak Riza continued his story,“But I think, this is all out of the ordinary. Mr. Suman couldn't have been like that if there wasn't something. Mr. Suman is firm, disciplined and opinionated, so I want to ask you, Ri. Have you ever seen anything... Or know something?”
Asked like that, Ari was transfixed. All this time, he never told anyone except to Tata.
“I've seen the figure of Mr. Suman who did not see his feet in the teacher's room,”kata Ari flat,”That time, Father again called me.
“Why didn't you tell me?” Ask Mr. Riza.
“Mmm... Sorry Sir... I don't want to be in touch with such a thing anymore,” Ari replied in a hurry,”I don't want to harm my friends..”.
Ari doesn't want any story. But he can't lie to Mr. Riza. Ari will only be related to Mr. Suman. Especially with CCTV footage on Wira's laptop. He really won't tell it. For a moment, Mr. Riza looked at Ari.
“You already have a girlfriend huh Ri,” asked Mr. Riza.
Ari nodded slowly.
“Good then Ri,”said Mr. Riza,” Better you focus on learning. Thank you for the info you gave me. I'm just worried about our school situation lately”
“Pak Riza, can I ask for help?”
“Why, Ri.”
“Then you can sir. If you have time, can you please check the wall in the basement related to the underground passageway?”
“It wasn't that the wall was closed, Ri. And now, the room is already a warehouse.”
“Not knowing yes Sir. The problem always comes from there. But this is if you have time.”
“Ok Ri's. Take a look later. I try to check today... Do you have a phone number?”
Then Ari and Mr. Riza exchanged phone numbers. And the bell went in.
After returning home from school, Ari went straight to her mother's room. Because today, his mother's permission not to go to work because of illness. But when he looked into the room, his mother was slouched on the spot
his sleep. Senenak Ari feel sorry to see the condition of his mother. If so, he remembered his father's death. Ari closed her mother's bedroom door. After cleaning up, Ari ate the potluck available at the dining table. When she was about to wash the dishes, she heard her mother calling for help to make warm tea.Ari also drove her to the room. Ari's mother drank tea made by Ari while taking drugs that have been given by the doctor.
“Ma, you should check with another better doctor,”said Ari,”Maybe the medicine is not effective..”
“Neverything Ri...” said Ms. Ari,”We tried this drug first. This part may be because Mama exhausted a lot of stitching orders yesterday.”
Ari sighed. When there was a father, his mother did not have to suffer like this.
“Ma, Ari wants to say something.”
“Why, Ri?”
“Ari equals Setup already made Ma.”
Ari's mother looked at her son's face. Smile from his lips. Although his face was pale, but there was joy emanating there. And Ari was happy. Whatever the story is told, it makes his mother happy.
“Mama is happy Ri. Mama knows, Tata is a good boy.His heart is very good.”.
Ari's mother held her son's hand.
“Ri, this is Mama's advice. Remember the words of Mama. Mama wants you guys to be old. Gratitude can go to the next level. But if not, you should stay friends.”.
“Iya, Ma.”
Then Ari's phone sounded. It turns out there was a call from Mr. Riza. Ari immediately picked it up.
“Halo,” Ari replied.
“Hello, Ri. Where are you?” Ask Mr. Riza on Ari's phone.
“I'm already at home Sir.”
“O, so.. Gini Ri. I checked the wet cellar. On the wall that connected the hallway was covered with a large shelf. I was helped by Mr. Min. After the shelves were removed. On the wall there is a door.
“Hah... On that wall there is a door Sir?”
“Sya, Ri. And I think the door was deliberately made.”
“That is, Sir?”
“Iya.. That's why I immediately find the foreman, Ri. I happen to know the guy. Right at her house, she was at home. When I asked, he didn't want to say anything. He said he's the same handyman who can't tell anyone. But after I persuaded him and I gave him money, he wanted to be frank. Said they made the door because it was told.”
“Remanded…? Who was it to, sir?”
“Told to Mr. Suman..”
Spontaneous Ari wide. He really did not expect the information from Mr. Riza. Then Mr. Riza excused himself because he was still on the road. If there's any information, he'll call Ari again.
“Why Ri?” Ask Ari's mother who from earlier heard Ari's conversation,”There are problems at school huh?”
“Iya, Ma,” Ari replied. The rest of the tension was still on his face.
Ari's mother looked at her son. He remembered his father, Ari's grandfather. Maybe what's on Ari's grandfather, downhill to his grandson, Ari.
“Ri, want to promise Mama?” mother Ari said softly.
“Iya, Ma,” Ari replied.
“Promise you will protect Tata.”
“Iya, Mother. Sure.”
“Whatever happens between the two of you, you will always protect Tata.”
“Iya, Mother. Ari promise. Whatever happens, Ari will always protect Tata.”
