The Ghost Story of LESTARI

10. My Love is Still the Same

Tomi noticed the figure across from the window of her office.

The figure of a blonde girl in a lacy dress along the knee.

What a pretty girl.

So pretty.

And she smiled at Tomi, as if knowing Tomi was staring at her from the glass.

Lestari's?

The name appears in memory, along with the emergence of memories of his dreams last night.

The dream seemed to be in the past, and he also saw a very beautiful girl by the name of Lestari.

Yep...

And that girl, who was there...

"Come on Mr. Tomi."

Suddenly Mr. Irfan's voice came from the direction of the door of Tomi's office.

Makes Tom surprised.

"Ah yes sir."

Sahut Tomi while looking at Mr. Irfan for a moment.

Then when he turned back to the glass, the girl was no longer visible. Tomi his eyes seemed busy looking.

Where is he?

Why suddenly disappear?

The curious Tomi looks until he has to bring his face closer to the glass and look at another corner of the street.

"What the hell is Mr Tomi?"

Mr. Irfan who saw Tomi like he was looking for something out there became curious.

Tomi who then turned his eyes again to Mr. Irfan.

"I saw a stranger across there."

"Foreigners?"

Mr. Irfan was wailing on the window glass.

"What do foreigners mean sir?"

"Bule guy, ah no, bule girl."

Answer Tomi.

Mr. Irfan frowned.

"Bule girl? In this town? Time anyway."

Mr. Irfan is dubious.

Yes if in the city of Cirebon there can be Caucasians, but here?

"Maybe just at a glance like a Caucasian Mr. Tomi, now many of our people like to color their hair to blonde."

Said Mr. Irfan while patting Tomi's arm.

"Come on, Tomi sir, we're leaving now."

Mr. Irfan said at last, which forced Tomi to move from the window.

Tomi followed Mr. Irfan out of his office, and then went down to the first floor to then head for Mr. Irfan's car.

"Sir Tomi if you want a car loan, take the car at the front dealer only, I know the owner, the car is still good even for the second."

Said Mr. Irfan.

Tomi nodded.

"Later I'll think sir, talk to my wife first, and especially let me memorize the street in this city first."

Said Tomi.

"It's true."

Mr. Irfan sleepy.

"After from the Notary Office I will invite you to eat at the most delicious stalls here, sir, anyway before tomorrow I move to Ketanggungan-Brebes, I will invite Mr. Tomi more familiar with this city."

Mr. Irfan looks excited.

"There is still no thaw at the beginning of the month, so there is no rush to work, last month I exceeded the target, Mr. Tomi relaxed. Tomorrow we're just starting to go after the target."

Tomi who heard Mr. Irfan's message smiled.

His senior was indeed famous as the most relaxed person, but his work was very good.

Mr. Irfan got into his car and sat behind the wheel, while Tomi followed him, following him into the car and sitting next to him.

When Mr. Irfan started his car engine, suddenly Tomi who was looking to the side of the car glass accidentally saw the bule girl again, he was seen walking towards Tomi.

Their distance was still quite a distance away, but Tomi could see the girl waving towards him.

Although Tomi had turned to look at his reflection from the rear glass of the car, still he was not too able to see clearly the figure of the bule girl.

"That girl, Mr. Irfan, didn't you see?"

Ask Tomi to Mr. Irfan.

"See what Mr Tomi?"

"Bulle girl, it was walking towards us."

Said Tomi.

Mr. Irfan looks shaken.

"There's no bule sir in this town. Most people smear his hair."

"But Mr. Irfan saw that, right?"

Ask Tomi who is so curious.

It's nothing, Tomi just feels weird because the girl showed up after Tomi last night dreaming of her figure.

Usually what happens to most people is to meet the person who had just dreamed of it, but this time what happened to Tomi was the opposite.

It was obviously strange for Tomi.

Tomi sat in the car seat leaning back, her handsome face looking riled up.

Who is he really? Inner Tomi.

Meanwhile, behind them. In the middle car seat that looks empty, now looks sitting a beautiful girl with blonde hair.

He sat and looked at Tomi from behind.

A look full of longing and love.

Flashbacks, flashbacks,

Ki Gedhe Tirtayasa invited guests and then ate the banquet he served.

Rice with dialasi banana leaves, side dishes sambal, petai, fried fish, tempeh and lalaban.

"I have a pond in the padepokan, Mr. Damar diligently takes care of the pond, now the fish is large, some of us consume and some others we sell in the market."

Ki Ageng Tirtayasa.

Mang Dayat nodded his head, taking pride in what his Young Master did.

Lestari who is a woman alone is welcome to eat in a different place, she follows Emban named Nyi Esih.

Nyi Esih invites Lestari to eat near the kitchen, after previously also showing the room that Lestari will use later.

"Young master Damar here has been a long time huh Nyi?"

Tanya Lestari while preparing to eat also with Nyi Esih.

"Yes it's been a while, it seems like about four years, when he's fourteen."

Said Nyi Esih who gave young coconuts to Lestari.

"That means Young Master's age is now eighteen?"

Ask Lestari.

Nyi Esih smiled meaningfully while nodding.

"He's so handsome, huh? A lot of girls in this village are crazy about him, but he's very calm, doesn't like anything."

Nyi Esih.

Lestari looks smiling.

His heart was so happy and relieved. The soft sigh felt so beautiful in his heart.

"Young Master Damar every day just studied in the padepokan, he came out of the padepokan only when going to the market selling fish from ponds, or looking for wood for us to cook."

"Hmm so, he must be very clever."

Lestari smiled as she muttered.

"Yes, he is very clever, his close friend here his name is Samsul, he is a servant of the police who is almost the same age as Young Master."

Nyi Esih.

"From Samsul we often hear the intelligence of Young Master Damar, he is almost good in all subjects, he is also very eager to join the fight for independence of this country."

Lestari nodded her head.

"Tomorrow you will begin to meet often because you study together, you will also know a lot about the young master, Miss Lestari."

Hearing what Nyi Esih said, made Lestari almost choke.

He was embarrassed if he was immediately caught putting his heart on Damar, while actually they had just met.
