Comploters Not Afraid of Ghosts

Chapter 87: Ari and Undivided Order in Other Realms

This holiday makes Ari bored. Unless he can accompany his mother and help out as little as possible if there is a stitch order. Toha and Nara had already started busy going back and forth to the stables to study

the Bang Yudha. Wira will definitely spend his vacation at the place where his great-grandfather came from. Just a few days ago Tata told Ari that she had contacted Kak Karin by phone. Tata is eager to meet Kak Karin in person. Tata has long idolized Kak Karin since reading her book. And Tata managed to convince her mother to go back to the psychiatrist. This time Tata proposed Kak Karin as his psychiatrist. Coincidentally Kak Karin opened a practice at his home. Tata's mother would be happy to allow her son to go to a psychiatrist. Today was the first time Tata met Kak Karin. Ari hopes tonight Tata's mother has a show out of the house. Ari missed hearing Tata's voice again.

The clock on the wall pointed to the number ten. Ari just entered her room after cleaning up the job to help her mother sew. Tonight a strong wind came into his room. Ari closed the window as the raindrops had started to fall from the sky. Usually in a moment he will smell jasmine. But Ari doesn't care. He's been watching his phone, hoping Tata will call tonight. Up to half an hour Ari began to resign and he had started to smell jasmine.

“Belinda...” Ari set his sights on his mattress. He knew Belinda was sitting there.

And Belinda was there, dressed in her usual ballet, sitting with her legs and arms folded, her blue-red eyes looking sharply at Ari. The pale-faced teenage ghost smiled slightly at Ari.

“There are still many who come to the hospital..” Belinda said softly.

“But they can't get in right?” ask Ari spontaneously.

“No one can enter..” replied Belinda,” They are noisy once..”

“Means?” ask Ari.

“They like to shout..”.

Ari doesn't really understand Belinda's story. Especially at this time he was struggling to think about Tata.

“Belinda... Would you take me to Tata place again,” Ari spontaneously revealed what was in her head.

Belinda.

“I'm afraid..” Belinda's face gets serious.

“Fear why?” ask Ari.

“They already know us..” replied Belinda.

“Which wait in dry forest?”

Belinda nodded. Ari also understood, the figures of the dry forest guard are so terrible. Ari still remembered they had been lined with figures with dirt and weeds that grew on the back

them. Ari just wanted to talk to Belinda so she could meet Tata. Then Ari's phone rang. It was from Tata. Ari quickly took her phone. So enthusiastic, Ari almost dropped his phone.

“Halo Ta,” Ari directly replied.

“Halo Ri, haven't slept?” Tata's voice sounded soft on Ari's phone.

“Not yet, you?”

“So I want to sleep, but I want to call you..”.

“Mama you again go yes?”

“Iya, again on nginep at home bude.”

“Today so meet Kak Karin right Ta?”

“Iya Ri, I met Kak Karin this afternoon.

“Keep your consultation on what Ta?”

“Know not Ri, all day we just chat aja.. Kak Karin is cool person ya Ri..”

“Iya is Ta.”

“Terus he is a very cool person.. I want to kayak Kak Karin deh Ri..”

Ari briefly imagined how Tata would change. At one time Tata was not a weak-looking Tata that he always had to protect. Ari imagines Tata like Kak Karin who is unpretentious but smiling. Temporal

in front of Ari, Belinda began to move back and forth. Actually Ari was disturbed by the ghostly behavior, especially when he was talking to Tata on the phone.

“Why Ri?” tata asked, because Ari had been silent for a while.

“Mmm, it's okay Ta,” replied Ari while still the same Belinda who is still pacing in front of him,” Eh Ta, you are asked by my mother again… I've said many times, if Tata tuh hard to here.”

Tata laughs,” Gimana if tomorrow I go there.. Mumpung mama is still two days away at the bude house.. Ntar I told mama I went to Astri's house.”.

“Truly Ta?”

“Iya Ri... Your mom is healthy right?”

“Sehat sih Ta... Cuman well.. rather not feeling well... Abis heya anyway mostly sewn mulu...”.

Tata laugh again,”Ntar I bring a lot of fruit yes Ri..”

“Iya thanks Ta... Don't bother anyway..”.

“Eh Ri... Inget fireball that we saw the study tour time is not?”

“Iya Ta... If I think he deliberately protects you huh Ta.... You are not the same Kak Karin?”

“Udah anyway.. But said Kak Karin do not have to be too thought of... Make it a valuable experience he said.”.

Ari remembered the fireball at school. Then the smell of burnt wires that reminded him of the ghost of a protruding tongue. Ari tried to take Kak karin's advice on Tata not to think too much about it. And

when he realized, Belinda was already sitting next to him. Ari becomes uncomfortable, not only because Belinda is a ghost, but now she is talking to Tata. Ari glances at Belinda, showing that she does not like the behavior of the ghost.

“What's the matter Ri?” tanya Tata

“Mmm, this is Belinda here..” Ari said finally.

“Ngapain him Ri?”

“From earlier he was pacing Ta.. Now he is sitting next to me..”.

“When I want to see Belinda dong Ri.

“Truly Ta?”

“If tomorrow I go to your house, can I not see him?”

“Know Ta... Ntar I asked ya...”

“Iya Ri... Yes already, I want to bobok yes.. Tomorrow I play at home yes.”

“Ya already, met bobok ya Ta...”

“Bye Ri.”

“Bye Ta.”

After turning off his phone, Ari glanced at Belinda who was still sitting next to him. The teenage ghost was just a smile. Ari knew, from earlier Belinda overheard her conversation with Tata.

“Tomorrow Tata want to see you,” says Ari.

Belinda's smile grew wider.

“Can't?” ask Ari.

“Can,” Said Belinda briefly with her small voice.

“Keep if it doesn't rain, you want to come here?” ask Ari again.

“Call me,” Belinda said.

“Means?” Ari doesn't know what Belinda means.

“Wear jasmine... You rub with your hands..” says Belinda.

“Terus?”

“Later I came here..”

***

Tomorrow Tata really plays at Ari's house. Ari accidentally doesn't tell her mother to give her a surprise. When Tata arrived, Ari's mother was resting in her room.

“Ntar, I call Mama first yes Ta.. He again fell asleep in the room,” said Ari.

“Eh, no need Ri... Mmm can I go to your Mama's room?” ask Tata.

“By the heck Ta..” replied Ari.

Then Ari drove Tata to the room while carrying a basket full of fruit that Tata brought.

“How are you Aunty..“ Sapa Tata so enter Ari's mother's room with a fractured smile.

“Eh, Tata..” Ibu Ari was shocked to see Tata. But even so, the look in his eyes radiated happiness seeing his son's girlfriend in front of him.

“Sehat Ta...” replied Ari's mother who tried to look healthy while upholding her seat leaning on the bed,” Sorry ya Ta, her room was a mess..Abis ushe came suddenly.”.

“Nnothing Kok Aunt.. Tata's room is also often messy.”

“Eh, don't call Aunt again dong Ta,” said Ari's mother,”Call Mama that..”.

“Iya.. Yes Ma...” says Smile-smile system.

Then Ari's mother accidentally saw Tata's wrist. On Tata's wrist there are three moles whose position is parallel. Ari's mother looks shocked while still looking at Tata's wrist.

“What's Ma?” tanya Tata who so check her wrist.

“Mmm, it's okay,” said Ari's mother. He tried to cover up his surprise.

But Tata looks still confused. And Ari was curious.

“What's the matter Ma?” ask Ari.

Ari's mother looked at Tata and Ari. It seemed like he had to say what shocked him.

“Gini, before Ari was born, Mama would have cheered,”Walau doubt, Ari's mother started the story,”But the baby died. Baby Mama is a baby girl. Mama sepet see her wrist. There are three moles on her wrist like Tata's.”.

Tata and Ari also become dumbfounded.

Well, maybe it could be just a coincidence yes,” said Tata's mother neutralizes the atmosphere that is so serious,” But may Ta, you become Mama's child?” said Ari's mother while stroking Tata's cheek.

“Bby kok Ma,” replied Tata with a gentle smile.

After the three of them had lunch together, Ari's mother continued her bed rest in her room. Ari and Tata chatted in the living room. How long Ari and Tata still pay attention to the three moles on Tata's wrist.

“Aneh yes Ri..” said Tata while still observing three moles whose position is parallel on his wrist. It just so happens that today he is not wearing the watch he used to wear because his battery is running out.

“Iya anyway Ta,” said Ari,” But kayak Mama said, it could be a coincidence Ta.”

“Eh Ri, Belinda came with?” tanya Tata switched the conversation.

“Normally malem if it rains..”answer Ari,”You sure you want to see him?” Ari looked at Tata. There is really a sense of worry for Ari if Tata will indeed interact with the ghost of the blue-red-eyed teenager.

“Emang why Ri?” ask Tata.

“Nnothing the heck Ta,”answer Ari,”I was just worried, Belinda did you.”

“I just want to see what you see..” says Tata sulks.

After Ari thought about it, rarely also Tata play to his house. So let's just say Tata can see Belinda today.

“Shortly Yes Ta...” says Ari.

Then Ari briefly went into his room and went out again to meet Tata. A handful of jasmine flowers were in his hands. In front of Tata, Ari rubbed the flowers. Tata noticed what Ari was doing in wonder.

“Ngapain anyway Ri?” Ask Tata.

“Say Belinda, out of this she wants to come,” replied Ari.

For about fifteen minutes, Ari and Tata just kept quiet with a sense of anxiety. But there was no sign of Belinda either. For a long time Ari felt Belinda was playing tricks on him.

“Eh Ri, usually Belinda if come where?” tanya Tata lirih's.

“In my room,” replied Ari.

“Try checking in your room deh Ri,” says Tata.

Ari looked at Tata for a moment, then she rushed towards her room. True Tata said, Ari began to smell the jasmine he was familiar with, not the smell of jasmine in his hands. And Belinda was already there, sitting neatly on Ari's bed. Tata, who was behind Ari, knew Belinda was there even if she didn't see him.

“There's Tata?” belinda asked Ari in her small voice.

“There,” replied Ari potluck.

Ari guessed that, although she could not see Tata, Belinda could smell Tata.

“Ri..” Tata already holds her necklace. He waits for Ari's approval to release him.

Despite the hesitation, Ari nodded. Slowly Tata took off her necklace. And Slowly Tata began to see the figure of Belinda sitting on the bed. Ari was a little worried, because now Belinda can see Tata. At first Tata was a little afraid to observe Belinda, but as soon as she saw Belinda smile, Tata tried to smile back. Long Belinda looked at Tata's face. Belinda was amazed to see Tata.

“Thank you Belinda, at that time you brought roses from Ari,” Tata trying to communicate.

Belinda nodded, her smile growing wider. Ari saw the look of Belinda is different, her gaze is not sharp as usual he looked at Ari, Belinda's gaze was so friendly to Tata.

“Thank you for also being a witness I became the same Ari yes,” Tata said again.

“You are like the king's daughter,” Belinda makes a sound.

Tata and Ari look at each other, not knowing what Belinda means.

“I used to have a friend of the king's daughter,” Belinda said.

“Which king's daughter yes?” tanya Tata tried to respond.

“Before those pale skin came,” replied Belinda.

“Before the Netherlands came?” ask Ari.

“Iya, after that I come with them,” Belinda said.

“Cute Dutch?” ask Ari again.

Belinda nodded. Ari and Tata began to recite Belinda's words. Although he is a teenager, it seems Belinda has lived for hundreds of years.

“You want to see me dance ballet?” ask Belinda to Tata.

“Mau..” reply Tata.

“Mmm you should not take Tata there..” Ari said to Belinda. He knew Belinda would take Tata to the meadow. Ari is still worried about Tata's safety.

Suddenly Belinda's face became pouted.

“I want to kok..” says Tata,” But it should be the same Ari,” Tata turned to Ari.

Ari glared at Tata. Ari is not comfortable if Tata goes there. But Belinda's smile was there again. Belinda moved forward and extended her hands to Tata and Ari. Tata was about to welcome Belinda's hand. He turned to Ari, waiting for Ari's approval with a sulking face. If this is the case, Ari also resigned. Ari first welcomes Belinda's hand. Followed Tata. Belinda took them to the window. Ari and Tata felt like they had broken through the window. Now they are in such a large open space. The grass is in front of them. Ari has been to this place twice. First with his grandfather. The second one is with Belinda. Now he's here with Tata.

“Ri see..” Tata pulled Ari's arm because Belinda was already moving with her ballet.

Ari's seen Belinda do it. The teenage ghost jumped up and down from the end of the grass to the other end of the grass. But Ari paid more attention to Tata who did not blink at every movement Belinda. Tatas

look amazed by the ballet of Belinda's treats in this other world. The ghost of the teenager hovered over the expanse of grass under the yellow sky. Then Tata saw a tree growing on the sloping ground.

“Ri, it is the family who lives in your well,” Tata said to Ari. Under the tree was a cot. On top of the cots were the figures of grandfather, grandmother and small child. It seems like they've always been watching Tata.

“Yes, I think they live there Ta,” said Ari.

Tata began to move towards the tree.

“Ta, where are you going?” ari asked worriedly.

“I want to meet them..” said Tata while continuing his steps.

Ari already wants to ban Tata there, but Ari undo it. Maybe it's time Ari let Tata be that way. Ari just quietly stood there, watching Tata approach the family figure who lives in

ari well. Having gotten used to Belinda, it seems that Tata is getting used to this world that is not the human world. Now Ari sees Tata talking to the family figure there. And Ari did not expect, the figure of grandfather, grandmother and small child instead showed a frightening form, in front of Tata, they look tame and obedient. They were like commoners who met their lord queen. Ari remembered the words of Belinda who called Tata like the king's daughter.

Then Tata walked back to meet Ari again,” Ri, he said they asked for the well to be closed only..”.

Ari stared at Tata for a moment. He didn't think too much about the well. His father used to want to close the well, because they already use a water pump. Ari was just amazed how Tata so easily communicated with creatures from other realms.

“Iya Ta, it has been a long time that the well wants to be closed,” said Ari.

Then Tata looked at Belinda again. Looks like the ghost of the teenager will not stop dancing as long as Tata is in this realm. And Ari doesn't care about nature. He only saw Tata so loose and free to be here. On the soft grass, untouched by the wind. Under the sky that is getting orange. Tata's smile is always broken.

“Ri, remember the words of Belinda when we made it in the Square Building,” said Tata. This time his smile was shy.

“Which words yes?” It's nothing, Ari really doesn't remember.

“Ih, why don't you remember Ri?”

“Which words Ta?”

“That's Ri... Belinda says.. If people fall in love should kiss...”.

Ari remembers now. Belinda's words that made Ari and Tata's face red at that time. And now Tata's face is so close to Ari's. So close to soft face Tata so felt. In spite of

closed, Ari could see the sparkling eyeballs of Tata. Her hair was broken in a sky orange color. Among other world creatures. In other landscapes. Ari and Tata are inseparable.
