The Ghost Story of LESTARI

12. The Nightly Flower

Nilam sat dumbstruck on the front porch of the house while looking at the large tree that grew in the yard.

The banyan tree that seems to be old enough to look creepy even though it makes the atmosphere of the home page shady and shady.

Do I need to ask Bik Surti to find someone to knock him down?

The heart wonders.

Indeed Nilam was very disturbed by the existence of the large Banyan tree.

He also felt that the ghost that now often bothers him is from there.

Nilam was still busy thinking about what he would do to the tree when his in-laws emerged from the house.

"Nilam, why daydream here?"

Ask in-laws.

Nilam turned to look at his mother-in-law with a smile.

"It's okay Mom, just want to enjoy the atmosphere."

Nilam's Lies.

Tomi's mother is seen sitting on a chair that is only limited to a small table with Nilam.

"The advantage of living in a small city is that the air is not as dirty as in a big city. It still feels pretty cool, especially if there are still a lot of big trees."

Her mother Tomi said.

Nilam seemed to force his smile.

Yes it may be cool because there is a big tree, but the tree in front of them is haunted, and Nilam is sure that the ghost lives there, so Nilam does not want to let it.

Tomi's mother sighed while leaning her body on the chair.

"You should consider this a Nilam holiday, so as not to be too stressed. This house is like a rest house, I hope you can relax and enjoy your days as a newlywed."

Her mother Tomi said.

"Mom can't wait to get your grandchildren. I'm very hopeful."

Said Tomi's mother.

Nilam.

Hearing her mother-in-law's expectations made Nilam seem to be given a heavy duty.

Yes, considering that Tomi's older sister who until today has not given a grandchild even though she has been married for ten years, it is now the hope of Mom Tomi falls to Tomi and Nilam.

Moreover Tomi is a boy, of course, his mother's expectations are much greater than to Tomi's brother.

Like the blood successor of the family, that's how it is.

Bik Surti suddenly appeared from inside the house, he was carrying a shopping bag made like from woven.

"You want to shop now, Bik?"

Ask Tomi's mother.

Bik Surti nodded.

"I'm coming along, want to see the market in this town."

Said Tomi's mother.

"Are you with Nilam?"

Ask Tomi's mother.

But not to mention Nilam replied, Tomi's mother spoke again...

"Well you'd better be home, you're still not so recovered, yesterday was exhausted, rest, later I buy fruit. What do you want to cook? I'll cook it."

Tomi's mom hasn't decided yet.

Nilam who is actually afraid of being left alone in the house is of course so confused.

He looked at Bik Surti, but what could Bik Surti do to defend Nilam.

"Wait a minute, grab the wallet first."

Tomi's mother rushed into the house, while Nilam stood up from his seat.

"Last night's cloth, Madam put it in her pocket, but don't get carried away in the bathroom."

Bik Surti.

Nilam looked at Bik Surti.

"What is it really for, Bik?"

"To care for the Madam not to be disturbed."

Nilam looked at Bik Surti, then turned his eyes towards the large Banyan tree in the courtyard of the house again.

"Guardment of the ghost in the tree, right Bik? He's after me?"

Bik Surti shook his head.

"No Madam, don't think that way, he's not that bad."

Said Bik Surti.

Nilam sighed.

"Just as Madam's origin follow my advice, nothing will happen."

Said Bik Surti.

"Don't be too stressed, don't daydream, do busy to always be active. Ghosts can only disturb people who are depressed, dreamy and lazy."

Said Bik Surti.

"Is that so?"

Nilam stared at Bik Surti making sure.

Bik Surti nodded his head.

Ah if so, it could be because later Nilam not much activity that can be done.

Since resigning from the office because he was getting married, Nilam was only at home preparing for his marriage.

After her marriage, she still had no significant activities.

Nilam so remember the advice of Tomi her husband this morning, who asked Nilam to continue his pleasure of writing.

But, Nilam was not having an idea to write anything, the only thing he wanted to do was paint.

Yes painting.

Nilam used to represent his school in a painting competition and always ranked in the top three.

Painting also includes his favorite besides reading and writing.

Tomi's mother then appears again in a more presentable outfit, complete with her handbag that adds to her perfect appearance.

"Yok Bik Surti."

Her mother Tomi said.

Nilam seemed to sigh.

I'm okay... I'm okay...

Nilam tried to calm himself.

Bik Surti nodded at Tomi's mother, then the two walked together towards the road and then walked from there towards the highway which was still about a hundred meters away.

After the death of his mother-in-law and also Bik Surti, Nilam is now alone.

Seeing a big banyan tree in front of his house for a long time he felt goosebumps.

Nilam finally chose to just enter the house, close the door tightly, then quickly to the room to pick up the package that was given last night Bik Surti.

Nilam was about to enter the room, when he suddenly felt that there was a pleasant smell of night flowers that seemed to come from inside his room.

With his chest pounding, Nilam fissured out his hand towards the curtains on his bedroom door.

The curtain was for him to open the door.

The smell of the flowers that night began to smell more and more when Nilam opened the door to his bedroom.

And...

Nilam widened his eyes, when he saw it on his bed was now full of nightly flowers.

Nilam stepped backwards, limping his legs immeasurably, staggered his body and resting on the wall.

The tasty flower of the night was definitely not her who put it there, and it was definitely not her Mother-in-law and Bik Surti either.

Around the house there are no nightly flowers growing, then where the flowers come from.

Nilam trembled his body, his face deathly pale.

He sat on the floor, then screamed with all his might before fainting.

A beautiful girl floated out of the room, staring at Nilam who was strewn on the floor.

"Not yet to see I've fainted."

Lestari Gumam.

The girl is seen carrying a tasty flower at night while inhaling its aroma with pleasure.

Floating out of the house where Nilam and Tomi lived while humming with her melodious voice.

"As before our bed always smelled of delicious flowers at night Bang Damar."

Lestari's smile with a happy smile.
