Ari can't sleep tonight. During the study earlier, Ari looked back and forth at the window. Ari hopes it rains tonight. And now, in her bed, with sleepy eyes, Ari was still trying to look at her window. The night sky looks bright in the window. On the verge of going to sleep and waking up, Ari began to faintly look at her window. Ari saw a figure appear from there.
“Belinda...” hiss Ari.
Ari tried to observe the figure that now began to approach him. He's not Belinda. Ari saw the grandfathers wearing traditional Javanese clothes. But Ari did not see a terrible figure. Grandfather's face was shady looking at Ari. Ari noticed a scar in one of his eyes.
“Ari, remember the message grandfather,” figure grandfather was talking to Ari,” You can kill them.. Tikam from behind and take his heart.”.
Then Ari woke up. Ari termangu's. Ari felt like she was dreaming. Grandpa no longer exists. Ari sat on the bed looking at the window. Outside it looks like it is raining heavily. And Ari smelled jasmine. Ari just realized, there was a figure from earlier sitting in the corner of the bed.
“Belinda...” Ari said while trying to turn to the end of the bed.
Belinda looked at Ari sharply with her blue red eyes. The ghost of the blonde-haired teenager now smiled slightly at Ari. She still wore her black ballet and sat in a neat position.
“I'm glad to see you again..” Slow Belinda.
Ari was still dumbstruck looking at Belinda who was sitting just a short distance away from him.
“So your grandfather came here..” Said Belinda flat.
“My grandfather...?” Ask Ari. He started to remember his dream.
“I've seen your grandfather..” Belinda said again.
“Have a look at my grandfather..?” Ari was still confused by Belinda's words. Then Ari remembered the grandparents who came to him and said something.
“Grandfather you have been to my place.” Belinda did not stop telling stories.
“At the Square Building?” Ari tried asking.
“Everything there is afraid of your grandfather..” Belinda laughs like remembering something,” Said your grandfather, I can stay here, as long as I want to take care of you.”.
“Belinda... I want to ask you who said his eyes are one... same his teeth are long..” Ari began to focus his questions.
“She likes to play with fire..” Reply Belinda expressionlessly.
“Main Api..?” Guman Ari,”Terus how can he not disturb Tata?”
Belinda laughed too. Ari was starting to get a little scared hearing Belinda's laughter.
“Which I know...” said Belinda at the end of her laugh,” Just ask your grandfather.”
Ari was still looking at Belinda. She hoped that Belinda would not laugh again.
“I like you,” says Belinda with sharp eyes,” You love very much your girlfriend.”
Belinda smiled a little. And Ari can only be glued. Then Belinda began to look at the rain that was seen in the window.
“I want to play first..” Belinda said while tiptoeing to the window. Then he disappeared there.
Now Ari is sitting in her bed looking at the window. Then Ari decided to go to bed. Ari knew Belinda would be back soon. But even though his eyes were closed, Ari still could not sleep. He began to remember the faces of the grandparents who Belinda said were his grandfather. Ari tried to remember the old man's words. Then the smell of jasmine began to smell by Ari. Ari accidentally did not open her eyes, she knew, Belinda must have been stuck to the ceiling right above her.
“Good sleep Ari..” Belinda's voice sounds soft from above.
Ari still did not open her eyes. But for a long time he got used to it. Ari is used to the smell of Belinda jasmine. And Ari started to fall asleep. In the morning, Ari woke up. Belinda's not there anymore. Ari decided to wake up. Today he will deliberately come early in the morning to school.
After being ready to leave, as usual Ari looking for his mother. Turns out
his mother was still in the room, lying on the bed wearing a blanket.
“Mama hurts?” ari asked worriedly.
“It looks like today mama does not work first,” said Ari's mother in a weak voice,” Mama wants to rest.. Mama's body is tired.”.
“Mama anyway, sewn mulu,” said Ari.
“We need savings for your college later Ri,” said Ari's mother.
While Ari can only look at his mother who looks weak. Actually Ari wanted to ask about her grandfather. But seeing the condition of his mother, the intention was unsettled.
“Last night mama dreams of your grandfather..” says Ari's mother.
“Dream grandfather..?” Ask Ari. Now his mother started talking about his grandfather.
“Iya... Your grandfather said, mama should not worry too much about you..” said Ari's mother while looking at her son.
Ari mangosteen. He began to remember the figure of the grandparents who came to him last night.
“Grandpa is now where is Ma?” ask Ari.
“I don't know.She likes to disappear somewhere,” replied Ari's mother,” Don't know to the mountain, don't know to the sea. That's what made your grandmother suffer..”.
“Ma, Ari's grandfather, in one of his eyes there is a scar?” ask Ari.
“Iya, when mama was small, your grandfather once told me, he said it was a tiger clawed,” replied Ari's mother,” How do you know?”
“Mmm, maybe Ari had seen the picture.” Ari replied to her potluck. Ari did not want to burden her mother's mind with the incident last night.
Ari's mother seemed to be thinking of something. Because as far as he knows, he once kept a photo of Ari's grandfather. But then Ari said goodbye to go to school.
Arriving at school, Ari went straight to the teacher's room. He had a desperate plan to get into the principal's room that was in the teacher's room. The school yard looks deserted. It seems like not a single student has come. But not yet arrived at the teacher room, seen Mr. Min run across to him while still holding a broomstick.
“Ri... Last night.. When I checked the gate.... I saw in the headmaster's window there was a flame..” said Mr. Min with a breath of breath,” I guess fire… When I opened the door.. Eee, it turned out that there was nothing..”.
“O, so it is Mr. Min..” Ari so remember the story of Belinda last night,” So I want to see there Mr. Min..” said Ari hurriedly.
Ari ran away from Mr. Min. He did not want a teacher to come first. The teacher's room was still empty when Ari got there. Then with a feeling of anxiety, Ari passed the teacher desks to the principal's room. Ari was getting closer to the door of the principal's room. He began to slow his pace. Suddenly someone approached him.
“You what are you?” The headmaster's voice shocked Ari.
Ari saw that Mr. Suman was standing next to him. Ari tried to cover up her surprise.
“Eee, I want to see Mr. Riza, Sir,” said Ari looking for the following reasons.
“Pak Riza's desk there,” Said Mr. Suman pointing to Mr. Riza's desk that Ari actually already knows.
Ari mangosteen, pretending not to know.
“You're Mr Ridwan's son, physics teacher right?” ask Mr. Suman
“Iya Sir,” Ari replied.
“Good for you to come in the morning at this time,” said Mr. Suman,” I see, you and your friends are no longer gathering in the park. You try to invite your friends to come in the morning as well as you.”
“Iya Sir,” Ari replied again. He was relieved, early in the morning sneaking into the teacher's room, actually got a compliment.
Then Ari asked himself and said he would come back later if Mr. Riza had come. When leaving Mr. Suman, Ari felt awkward. He saw that Mr. Suman was in good health. There's no sign of Mr. Suman ever
critical in the hospital. Then Ari started to smell the carcass. The longer the smell gets stinging. Ari looked to the left right looking for the direction of the smell. Ari looked back. He saw Mr. Suman come into his room. Then several teachers were seen entering the teacher room and immediately looked towards Ari. Ari quickly got out of there.
The first lesson just started, but Ari's feelings are not good. Several times Ari looked at the window, there were figures passing by in the front hall of his class. Ari had a glance at Toha, Wira and Nara. From their movements, Ari knew, they also saw what Ari saw. Then in the middle of the lesson, came Mr. Suman to class. Mr. Suman was welcomed by the teacher who was teaching. The teacher said welcome back because Mr. Suman was healed and healthy as ever. In front of the class, Mr. Suman gave a little direction so that students remain focused on learning and always maintain order. Then Mr. Suman walked among the students and checked the completeness of the school uniform. Some disciples received rebukes due to incomplete uniform attributes, including Toha and Wira. Sebersit, Ari feels weird. It is not usual for Mr. Suman to examine the students to the benches. After that Mr. Suman left the class, and entered the next class.
The first hour of rest, Ari went straight to see Mr. Riza. But arriving at the teacher's room, Ari does not see Mr. Riza in his place. Even Mr. Riza's desk is clean, no tools are usually there.
“From Mr Riza?” ask one of the teachers there.
“Today Mr. Riza last,” said the teacher.
Ari bengong's. He still doesn't understand.
“Shoulder, Mr. Riza is cleaning up,” said one more teacher,” Maybe he is still in the parking lot.”
Ari immediately said goodbye and ran towards the motorcycle parking. In the parking lot Ari saw Mr. Riza heating his motorbike. Next to the motorcycle is a large backpack belonging to Mr. Riza.
“Pak Riza!” Ari's screams are held back.
“What's Ri?” asked Mr. Riza flatly as Ari approached her.
Ari said nothing. Only his eyes were asking for an explanation.
“Iya Ri, starting next week I will be transferred,” said Mr. Riza,” The letter has been signed by the principal.”
“Chief of school?” guman Ari,” Isn't this weird sir?”
“Iya is indeed strange,” said Mr. Riza resigned,” Well, but this is my fate..”.
“But our school is now in trouble Sir,” said Ari.
“Sori Ri, I can't help you anymore,” Mr. Riza looks at Ari with pity,” My advice, let someone else take care of this matter Ri.”
After saying goodbye, Mr. Riza runs his bike leaving Ari. Ari could only look at Mr. Riza with his motorbike disappearing behind the gate. I don't know why Ari feels alone. He hasn't talked to his friends in a long time. And the nickname freak pinned for him and his friends ganged in the head. Mr. Riza said, let someone else take care of this. Who will protect Tata? Ari begins to wonder, to what extent he can protect Tata. Now she's not sure she can fulfill her mother's promise to protect Tata.
With a gontai step, Ari returned to his class. But while walking in the hallway of the classroom, there was a crowd of disciples that seemed to have happened something there. And among the crowd, Ari saw Tata who was trying to attract her attention from afar. When Ari noticed, Tata gave the code with his hand. Ari knows, it's Tata's code to meet in a secret place. Although in doubt, Ari also agreed with a short nod. Because there is something Ari wants to convey to Tata at this time. Tata also started walking towards the women's toilet. And as usual, Ari will pass in front of Mr. Min's house.
Arriving behind Mr. Min's house, Ari sees Tata already standing there waiting for him. Ari had noticed beside Mr. Min's house. And Ari did not see the usual skull-faced ghost waiting there.
“What's Ri? Tata asked who saw Ari was watching beside Mr. Min's house.
“The ghost whose skull face is not there,” Ari said.
“Maybe they are getting into classes,” says Tata.
Ari just looked at Tata. At the time there was an incident that made many crowds, Tata still looked calm.
“So in class there was an incident,” said Tata,” Gaby suddenly fainted and one of her eyes was bleeding. He was taken directly to UKS.”
Ari nodded. Looks like Ari knows who did it.
“Don't get angry ya Ri,” says Sulayur,”I know what causes it.”
Ari stared intently at Tata. But just for a second. Then Ari began to hold a necklace pendulum that was circular around Tata's neck. Ari knew, even if only for a moment, Tata must have removed her necklace. This time Ari was not angry. Because he knew, there was a point where he would not be able to protect Tata anymore, even though Tata still wore his necklace.
“Yes, it's a nurse whose eyes are bleeding right?” ask Ari flat.
Tata nodded slowly.
“Ri, I should know what happened,” says Tata,” It's time you stopped worrying about me.”
Ari nodded. Then he told Tata about Belinda last night and the parents he said were his grandfather. Also about Mr. Riza who from today will not be in their school anymore. And without her friends, Ari feels alone facing all this.
“Ri, you do not need to be a superhero,” said Tata advised,” You do not need to protect me, no need to protect anyone.”.
“But I promised..” Guman Ari.
“Whose promise?” Ask Tata.
“Sama mama.”
“What promise?”
“Promise to protect you.”
Tata looked at Ari deeply. He grabbed Ari's hand and held it tightly.
“I know Ri, you will always protect me.”
Then someone came to them. Tata also quickly released his grip to Ari. It turns out the hero came. Although the hero who came, Tata and Ari seemed embarrassed to be caught holding hands.
“Eee, sori guys, bother you..” Wira said staggered.
Ari and Tata still silently looked at Wira.
“Gini Ri... I need to talk,” said Wira,” Like we can not be silent-at-home like this continue, while many we see around us.”.
“Iya Wir, the situation is indeed more urgent,” Ari said.
“I mean.. Maybe we do not need to do anything,” said Wira,”But at a minimum, we should always talk to each other.. As before.”
Ari mangosteen looking at Wira. But then someone is seen coming from the side of Mr. Min's house. It turned out that Toha came with cautious steps. Toha looked at Ari and Tata. Then Wira. It seems Toha did not expect Wira to be there.
“What's Ha?” tanya Ari broke the rigid situation that just happened.
“Ri... I want to apologize equally lo,” voice Toha hoarse,” I apologize for my words when you to my home.”
“Udahlah Ha. Lupain aja,” said Ari,” I also forgot.”
“Neither Ri,” said Toha,” Long-long I became embarrassed myself. Especially the same Tata. I have helped me a lot.”
“No need to think about Ha,” said Tata who felt involved.
“Ta Actually, I'm sorry,” said Toha again,”Lagian bokap already told me a lot. He also had our rich friendship. Due to a misunderstanding, they are no longer friends. Now even enemies. I don't want us to be like that. I want us to be friends anytime.”
Momentary silence. Toha's words left everyone speechless.
“Gue also wants to apologize to you Wir,” said Toha while reaching out to Wira.
The hero did not welcome Toha's hand. He immediately hugged Toha tightly and patted her on the back. Ari then joined Toha and Wira. Tata looked at the three of them. Actually Tata wanted to laugh amusedly at the boys hugging each other but she held back. Then the door connected to the female toilet opened and Nara was seen emerging from there. Ari, Toha and Wira immediately took off their hugs. The three of them looked at Nara who was already in front wearing a jacket with her headscarf. And Nara didn't think there were any heroes and Toha. As far as he knows, this is the secret place for Ari and Tata's meeting.
“What's Ra?” ari asked breaking the silence.
“Ri, just now in the girls' toilet there are students who have trouble walking kayang,” said Nara.
Momentary silence. It seemed like they could all already imagine what had really happened. Even Tata had seen Ari's picture of a ghost walking by.
“Ra, earlier I want to apologize first lo,” said Toha while extending his hand to Nara.
Somehow Nara returned Toha's hand. But that's Nara.
”Gue also apologized yes Ha,” Nara said in the end.
Then Nara and Wira just look at each other, nothing more.
“By the way, why am I gathering here all?” ask Nara.
“We want to be friends like before Ra,” replied Wira,” That has passed, yes let it pass. Whatever happens, we should always be friends.”.
Nara looked at Wira. Then he looked at his friends one by one. Starting from Toha, Ari, then there's Tata there. Tata is smiling. He approached Nara and held Nara's hand. And Ari was relieved. He was so upset before. He feels so alone. Now, in this place, Ari sees his friends have returned. Toha, Hero, Nara. And now, there's Tata there.
