Comploters Not Afraid of Ghosts

Chapter 67: The Search for a Long-Toothed One-Eye Ghost

At night, Ari really can not concentrate on learning. Ari doesn't know if to tell Tata about Belinda's story about a one-eyed, long-toothed ghost. Because Ari doesn't want Tata to be worried. Moreover, Ari is still not sure of the truth of Belinda's story. Unless Ari has seen the ghost himself at school. And Ari's still going to find the ghost for Tata's safety. Then Ari's phone sounded. There's a call from Tata. Ari guessed, Ibu Tata must not be at home. Ari lifted it up.

“Halo, Ta,” says Ari.

“Halo, Ri..” replied Tata on Ari's phone.

“You're okay right Ta?” Ask Ari.

“Good, Ri,” replied Tata,” Mmm... Ri, when do we meet again at school..?”.

“At this time it seems like the situation is again urgent Ta,” replied Ari.

Then Ari recounted his meeting with Mr. Riza last afternoon until there was information from Mr. Riza about the door in the basement. Ari had thought about the one-eyed and long-toothed ghost that Belinda told. But Ari decided, at this time he will not tell Tata first.

“So we can not meet dong Ri?” tanya Tata.

“Ya... While Ta, because the situation is like this..” replied Ari. It's not that Ari doesn't want to meet Tata. But this is for Tata's safety.

“Eh, Ri.. If I think about it, it all started from the tall shadow ghost you once drew... Bener?” Tata asked so she could talk to Ari longer.

“Iya, I think so Ta,” replied Ari,” Could be he who disguised himself as Mr. Suman whose legs are not visible.”

“I know Ri, why in the CCTV footage of Wira, Mr. Suman still looks at his feet,” said Tata enthusiast.

“Why Ta?” Ask Ari.

“Ya... Therefore Mr. Suman the original..” Tata Reply.

“Means?” Ask Ari again.

“Iya.. Hence there is a door in the basement warehouse,” replied Tata,”Pak Suman enter the underground passage through it..”.

“And it was Mr Suman who told me to make that door?” Ari Guman.

“Not Mr. Suman..” Tata tried to conclude,”But the ghost of the shadow that rumbles… And from there Mr. Suman brought other ghosts in the hallway.”.

Ari was silent for a moment. Ari knows, Tata is a smart kid. But this time Ari was really amazed. Tata can conclude a problem that is still so complicated for Ari.

“Not Ri,” asked Tata, luring Ari to talk longer.

“Iya, really... Bener Ta,” replied Ari,”So this ghost is really scary...He can affect people. Maybe because he can be someone. At that time, she also became Lisa's sister. Though Lisa's sister has long died.”.

“It was precisely Ri...” said Tata,”The ghost may have previously had something to do with Lisa. Chances are he ever met his sister Lisa when he was alive, so he could make her sister Lisa.”

Again Ari was amazed at Tata's cleverness. What Tata said, was completely unthinkable to Ari before.

“Not Ri?” Tata asked again because Ari had been silent for a while.

“Iya really... Bener Ta,” replied Ari,”Maybe it has something to do with his family Lisa too..”.

“Ri, meningan you try to ask Lisa deh,” Tata tried to express his idea,”Maybe you can get info about this shadowy ghost. You can then tell Mr. Riza. Let Mr. Riza later convey to the people padepokan.”.

“Iya, really Ta,”ansi Ari,” But you are okay I will call to Lisa?”

“Nnothing Ri...” replied Tata,” You are just that anyway..

“Iya Ta... Let our school be safe again.”

“Iya Ri.. So ntar we can meet again right Ri...”

“Iya Ta..”

“Eh, Ri. I think my mama has come home. Shrimp first yes..”

“Ok deh... Met bobok ya Ta..”

“Ok... Met bobok also yes Ri...”

After putting the phone down, Ari became Lisa's mind. Then Ari took his phone again. He still has Lisa's number. Lama Ari weighs his cell phone. Ari remembers, she still keeps Lisa's ring in her drawer. But that's not what Ari's attention is now. Not because of the ghost. Not because of Mr. Suman. But solely because it was Tata who sparked his idea. Ari glanced at the wall clock. It's only 9 p.m. Ari looked at her phone for a moment. He tried to gather his courage. Until Ari squeezes Lisa's number too. Some time his call had not been raised. Ari thought about turning it off. Then his call was raised.

“Halo...” Lisa's voice is heard on Ari's phone.

“Halo Lisa, how are you,” said Ari awkwardly.

“Kak Ari's? Tumben did call?” lisa's voice sounded enthusiastic,”Song Ari's good news. Ari sister how are you?”

“Good... Good...,” Ari replied still stiff.

“What's the matter Ari..?”

“This is again the journey home Ari. Out of the restaurant. It's my dad's birthday today. This is Mr. Udin too, the same Bi Tumi.”

Ari knows, Mr. Udin was Lisa's driver who told Ari and Nara about Lisa's family. And Bi Tumi may be the wife of Mr. Udin who has been with the Lisa family for a long time.

“So you're still the same papa ya Lisa?”

“Iya nih Kak Ari's. Papa is in front of me. Next to him was Mr. Udin who was a nyopir. Bi Tumi next to me.”

“O so.. Yes I've called again Lisa.. Fear of disturbing.”.

“Ngot nothing Kak Ari.. We relax again...”.

“O so... Mmmm.. Actually I want to ask about the ghost who once nyaru so your sister.. But that if you are pleased anyway.”.

“Emang she is still in school huh Ari?”

“Iya Lisa.. She is now the principal.”.

“Sorry to me Brother Ari. I made him go to school.”.

“Iya Lisa..”.

“But I don't want to talk to him anymore Ari..”

“Iya, Sorry Lisa... I was presumptuous to ask you.”

“Nothing Kok Ari. I'm seneng Kak Ari already called me.”

Ari was about to tell Lisa about the ring she still kept, but she undid it.

“Ok Lisa, ntar sometime I call again yes.”

“Iya Kak Ari's. Don't call me ya.”

Looks like Ari won't get that ghost shadow info from Lisa. Ari knew who else she had to ask. In the near future, he must meet Mr. Hudi. But he was sure, Toha definitely would not

agree to this. Ari has plans to secretly meet Mr. Hudi after school when usually Toha is driving Astri by bicycle. But his personal mission of searching for the long-toothed one-eyed ghost will still be continued during tomorrow's break at school. Before going to bed Ari wrote a message to Tata about the conversation with Lisa on the phone and the plan to meet with Mr. Hudi after school.

In the morning, when Ari arrived at school, there was news that Mr. Suman was in the hospital and his condition is now critical. Some teachers went to the hospital to visit. And early in the morning there was already a furore going on at the school. Now in 12th grade, there is an incident of the teacher chair moving on its own. In the women's toilet, there was still a faucet that went dead on its own. In some of the classroom hallways, the lights went off on their own. Then the tug falls on the Business Administration building. And the teachers were busy calming the students to keep learning as usual.

As soon as the break bell rang, Ari immediately exited the classroom. Ari had a glance at Toha, Nara and Wira. Ari knows, they've been watching Ari lately. But it seems, they will still act quiet to each other. Today Ari hopes to see the ghost of one long-toothed eye. But just up the classroom hall, Ari's feelings are not good. This was more than Ari usually felt. Ari tried to keep walking in the hallway of the classroom. Because he didn't see one or two. He saw many ghosts milling about in the hallway of the classroom. Some were big tall black, some were short bald, some were crawling, they were mingling with the students who were resting. Ari kept swinging her steps and tried to stay calm. Because in the hallway of the classroom only he sees it all. Then in the cafeteria Ari also saw many figures there. Then in the schoolyard, in the park, also on the basketball court. But from earlier Ari did not see the ghost of one long-toothed eye.

After the bell home from school, according to plan, Ari will meet Mr. Hudi. Ari accelerated her pace towards the stop. He's gonna take the bus to get there. He hopes Toha will ride Astri home for a long time. Ari ran

catch the first bus that reaches the stop. He should meet Mr. Hudi quickly. Not just because of the ghost of the shadow and Mr. Suman. To this day Ari does not find the ghost of one long-toothed eye that Belinda included. This makes him more anxious because it is related to the safety of Tata. Especially during today's lesson, Ari was always worried, because now more and more ghosts are arriving at his school.

Arrive at Mr. Hudi's house. As usual, Mr. Hudi seemed to have known Ari would come. Mr. Hudi invited Ari to sit in the living room and had his wife make a drink. Then Ari told everything to sir

Hudi. Starting from the ghost of the shadow, Mr. Suman, Belinda, one-toothed long-eyed ghosts are also the ghosts that arrive at his school to this day.

“In that port, there is indeed a kind of kingdom of jin,” Pak Hudi began to speak in a voice of rockfall,”Not really like a kingdom. The real kingdom is at sea. So he's kind of a colony. Many small rulers there.”

Ari tried to increase his concentration. He did not want to be left with the slightest explanation from Mr. Hudi.

“It looks like after the building in the port is abandoned, many come there. They seem to like the history of the building which is full of tragedy. Most who come there are those who are expelled from the kingdom.”.

Then Mr. Hudi's wife took out a drink for Ari. Mr. Hudi also invited Ari. Ari quickly took his drink. Ari drank it a little and returned it to the table, because he wanted to hear Mr. Hudi's explanation immediately again.

“But there is also there that comes from human waste..” Hudi continued.

“Kayak people who pulled them in school?” Ask Ari.

“Iya... Many people throw them there,” replied Mr. Hudi,” And usually these outcasts are precisely those who are evil and dangerous. They even make their own kind of colony. And the Jin you see is like a tall shadow, including one like that.”

Ari listened to Pak Hudi's explanation with a tense face. Then Ari asked about the long-toothed one-eyed ghost. The riches from earlier were precisely saved. Mr. Hudi furrowed his brows. Then he asked himself to go inside for a moment. Ari was told to wait. About a minute, Mr. Hudi came out again to meet Ari.

“I saw it,” said Mr. Hudi while taking a seat in his chair.

“Where is Mr Hudi?” Ari asked impatiently.

“She's in the room…. Anyway in the room there is a large cupboard with many trophies.” replied Mr. Hudi.

“That's the Principal's room..,” Guman Ari.

“Iya.. She is next to that big closet.” Said Mr. Hudi.
