Ghost Restaurant

Farewell to Robert

This week, Rey and Yumna went back and forth to the police station as witnesses after school. In addition, they also had to accompany Novi in the hospital even if only briefly. At least, to bring the needs of Novi that can not be handled by himself.

On the second day Novi's parents were treated, his mother could not be saved. Novi had hysterically not let it go. But Yumna kept strengthening.

"Yumna, Rey, you guys have done a lot for me. I don't know how I can repay your kindness anymore" Novi said after they didn't have to go to the police station until the court hearing.

"Just relax, we are sincere in doing so," Yumna replied still sitting on the sofa of the hospital's VIP room.

"Yes, don't think about it. The important thing is that your father can recover first to continue his new life with you later," cried Rey who instead made Novi unable to hold back tears when he saw his father who was in deep sleep.

"Thank you. Tomorrow also you can go home, we will go to your hometown after this. There are too many beautiful and dark memories of my mother in that house" Novi said.

At the end of the room, there was Robert who also shed his tears. He also felt guilty for the actions of his brother who made his best friend involved bear the sadness.

" Sister Robert, will you also follow Brother Novi back to his village?" ask Yumna.

"I don't know. But since my business in the world is done, maybe my time to return to the next realm is almost here" Robert said.

"Then, how are you doing with me?" rey looked at him sharply.

"What do I have to do with you?"

"You haven't been able to take me to your house. How do I find out about Grandma?"

"Grandmother is not in my house. But if you still want to investigate, come to mama and papa on Merdeka street number thirteen only" said Robert.

"Is there anything strange about them? Why are you now asking me to investigate them?"

"Both love me very much, and always obey all my will. But all I know is, they hate Grandma so much because they were not approved when they got married. And there's one more thing my father seems to be hiding."

"What's that?"

"Surely he never refused all my wishes, even always being gentle with me. Except when I ask about a room that's always locked tight. He'll be angry when any of us want to find out."

"Now, can you help us get there?" yumna asked looking at Robert expectantly.

Before Robert answered, there came out a dazzling light. Yumna and Rey knew it was a sign of farewell to them like any other they had helped before.

" It seems that my time in this world is over. My promise accompanies Novi only until his father is healed. So please help Novi prepare for the move after my departure."

"Then, what about the investigation in your house?"

"Sorry, I can't help with that. Because I never wanted to know, ever since my dad hit me for the first and last time when I tried to ask. Please apologize to Novi too, for letting me go."

Robert's voice grew increasingly distant as the light swallowed in its glare. Instantly, Robert disappeared along with the return of the room as usual without any dazzling light both people could see.

" Why, what did Robert say?" ask Novi who doesn't see anything around him.

"Sister Robert had calmed down back to his nature. He apologizes for all his mistakes" Yumna said.

"Robert! One by one the people I loved left me. Then, did you guys see my mom around here, too?" novi asked curiously as she rubbed her tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Your mother is calm. He left without leaving a burden. He only had time to tell, so that Kak Novi became a strong woman who is independent to make her proud in nature there," yumna said after she was convinced this was the right time after her departure a few days ago.

" It means that now we have to start alone, just the two of us with my father alone," said Novi began sobbing loudly.

" Sister, don't be so grieved. Let the road there not be hampered by people who are too sad for his departure. But please pray for them, to be smooth toward a new, happier realm."

" Yes, you're right!"

"Alright, thank you for everything. Someday, if we meet again I will be a strong woman who is independent like a message from my mother!"

Novi hugged Yumna's body tightly, before letting go.

"Yes already then, later say my regards to your father yes," said Rey shaking Novi's hand after Yumna let go of his embrace.

"Yes, be careful on the road!" sahut Novi waved his hand.

Yumna and Rey were relieved. They have relayed all the messages of the invisible creature to his family.

"Ehhhmmm." cried Rey spread her arms before Yumna got into the car whose door Rey had opened before.

"meaning?"

"Novi's stomach was hugged, I didn't!"

"Any, that's envious. Bye, let's go home!" sahut Yumna got into Rey's car without responding.

"Where are you going now?" tanya Rey started following in the car, and was about to run it.

"Go home! It's night, where are you going?"

"Heeehhhhh, heavy!"

"What?"

"Must hold the kangen again until tomorrow!"

Rey's mouth increasingly makes Yumna's cheeks feel warm to resist embarrassment. And Rey starts driving her car to Yumna's direction to go home.

"Next night I need to go to a restaurant?"

"No, you're tired of going to school late at night. Although my little heart still wants to meet, actually" said Rey teasing Yumna.

"What the hell, you don't pantes like that romantic snobs!"

Yumna turned her face to look at the window, so that she could not see her face getting redder.

"Rey, Rey..... How come there's someone else confused in front of that old hospital huh?"

Rey who was concentrating immediately pulled over her car because she did not hear clearly.

"Why?"

"Wouldn't you back out?" yumna Pinta.

"What's the matter anyway?"

"Here we go, let's see!" yumna answered waiting for Rey's car to retreat to the front of an old hospital that had not operated for a long time.

Yumna and Rey observe a confused man, walking in and out again many times with no apparent purpose.

" You wait here!" tell Rey to Yumna.

"I'm coming along, I don't feel good when I'm alone. Tuh, see the roof is already inhabited by socialites from the colorful berdaster group. I think it's arisan again!" yumna said, pointing to the broken roof of the one-story hospital.
