Jailangkung Party
22 Mission of Karin and the Secret of Arinda (4)
“Why should I lie?” Arinda who is sitting in the workspace of the mother is experiencing an inner war.
He didn't know why he was so proud to admit everything in front of Karin. Obviously he saw the strange creature, he was also disturbed during the afternoon yesterday, then nightmares and last night he also could not sleep well.
“What is troubling my life, why am I selfish anyway?” thought again. Arinda ruffled the long black mane.
“You didn't go to the canteen with your friends?” tanya Lira saw her daughter who tumben once play in her room.
“Mother, after we die our spirits follow us dead or haunt?” ask Arinda suddenly.
Lira grins her forehead, “why can you ask such a thing?”
“Bun, brother Alisya his spirit sleeps in his grave or kayak haunting in horror movies anyway?” ask Arinda.
The Lira was silent for a moment, for a long time they had not discussed Princess Lubis's Alisya, her first daughter. “He will not be lost, for all who live must die and will not return to the world. They've been planted
in the ground and certainly the longer the body will be destroyed in eating worms and then become part of the land itself. Surely no one got up, the horror movie was just making it up.” Obviously Lira.
Arinda nodded in understanding. All of his mother's explanations made sense. If the dead could come back to life, he would have met his brother instead of Micah. But, “Bun, if the nightmare is because what?”
ask Arinda again.
“Because you are under stress, so all these unhealthy thoughts haunt you in dreams.” Obviously Lira, “You did why, tumben asked such things, did the kids in class come back to discuss
ghosts and trance?”Lira was getting angry.
“Cock!” Replied Arinda immediately, “I yesterday saw a very spooky and strange TV show. There were times there were faces exactly the same as me and my friends. their heads were beheaded.” Arinda.
“You why talk about such nonsense anyway? So if Mommy asks to learn yes learn, do not mostly watch.” Arinda's ends are in omelin.
Tok
“Bu Lira, the head of the foundation has arrived.” a teacher came and reminded the schedule of the meeting bu Lira
“Good, tell them to go to my room.”
“Good bu Liraa.”
“Arinda, Mother is busy, you can come out, any minute you have class.” This very professional and respectable Pinta Lira.
“Good Bu Principal.” Answer Arinda.
As he left the room Lira again reminded Arinda, “Remember carefully, make the death of Alisya as a lesson of your life. Diligent in learning and careful in getting along. Don't think of the impossible
out there.” Said Lira, “And I don't want you hanging out with a delinquent like Karin anymore, remember! If he returns to being rude I will not hesitate to get him out of this school.” said Lira again.
Arinda sighed tiredly, then nodded weakly.
He realized, talking about something with his mother would not be easy. His mother loved his job. She is indeed a great tough woman and charismatic, but for other matters her mother is just a stiff woman who
draconian. Cannot be discussed and talk casually. For a moment Arinda remembered the other motherly woman. She's Merri's mother. Somehow the charm of his mother Merri makes him amazed and envious at the same time. It was in his mind:
“If it were me, would this principal do the same or just blame me like what Alisya did?”
“Entai?” again Arinda just sighed tired. “But loneliness!” his weakness.
From a distance, he saw Merri sitting near the basketball court. That afternoon the basketball court was still quiet. The scorching sun makes the boys who used to play become lazy face to face directly with the king of the afternoon.
Seeing Merri who focuses on reading books makes Arinda want to approach him.
“DUAR!!” Arinda surprised Merri.
Merri did not budge in the slightest, the small body just turned its body and looked at Arinda with a flat face.
“Ooo Arinda?!” he said not to believe. Very surprised, pliss
“Lo why here, alone?” ask Arinda. “Lu is not afraid, it is said he is here a lot of ghosts loh?” arinda Goda.
“Kan ghost it doesn't exist, hehehe!” Merri switched the conversation, she instead laughed stiffly.
“Hahaha, it was me who said, remember aja.” Said Arinda who laughed. “But why are you here by yourself, trus you read what book?” asked Arinda who saw the ancient book of Merri.
Merri could not answer anything, he did not know where to hide this book. This situation makes it difficult.
“Try me see?” Arinda picked up the book, then she saw its old-fashioned cover and fragile page.
“What book?” ask Arinda. He saw letters that were not as usual.
“That's a book from my grandmother. He told me to read this book.” obviously Merri was a little scared.
“From your grandmother?” Arinda widened her eyes, “Which grandmother are you, why should this letter? is this Tagalog or russian?” Arinda was curious.
“Ancient sanskrit. I don't know how old-fashioned it is, but I was told to read this book, he said important.” Merri.
“Merri, your grandmother is Javanese huh?” ask Arinda. “I am also of Javanese descent but no tuh in order to learn languages and sanskrit writing.”
“My grandmother is rather unique.” Merri sungkan. He just smiled stiffly.
“Then its contents about what?” asked Arinda, she was thirsty for curiosity.
“So far I have only been able to translate chapter one, the contents are still related to human norms and behavior. Here we are explained to always be humble, legowo, patient, not excessive, not greedy and respect for fellow humans and other God-made creatures. Then under the picture of this rice there is a proverb stating, to follow the way of life of rice plants, which increasingly contains him bowing his head.” Merri.
“Try Lira like padi.” Mumbled Arinda.
“Eh, who?” ask Merri.
“Hahaha there's nothing kok.” Arinda suddenly. “But Merri, do you believe that the dead are still wandering?”
“Why are you suddenly nanyain thing?”
“Suddenly I often experience strange things.”
“What are you experiencing?”
“But you can not keep this secret, I do not want Karin or others know. I myself am not sure what I see is real or my factor is not at home aja.” Arinda looks very serious.
Merri nodded.
“Gue as in Micah's ghost. But I don't know what the reason is, sometimes he's like asking for help, sometimes he also threatens me. I've told you a story, but I'm not sure I believe such a thing, bokap the same. But what do you think it is?”
Merri answered nothing. He did not dare to deduce what he had just heard.
“What jailangkung game did the class children do successfully?” thought Arinda. “According to lo?”
“I also don't know.” Answer Merri lethargic. “What because of this incident do you believe in demons and the like?” ask Merri.
Arinda shrugged, “If I believed that I should have seen not Micah but my sister, my sister who died two years ago. He died right before my own eyes.” Obviously Arinda, “That's the biggest secret of my real life. Our family made his presence unknown to many. So was his death. I don't know why.” Arinda.
Merri was silent. That's a very important secret. Why would Arinda want to tell me? Does he believe in Merri, even though they just know each other.
