The Ghost Story of LESTARI

50. What's up with Them?

However, it sounded above the ceiling of the house something like moving, a kind of sound of something being dragged around.

Tomi, Nilam and Mom looked up at the ceiling.

Sreeek... Sreeek... Sreeek...

The three of them instantly looked paled, their faces tensed up imagining what was there.

Along with that came the voice of women who spoke Dutch, which of course they did not understand the meaning.

Tomi and Nilam and Mom don't know how they should be, when then the door of Tomi's study is heard being kicked.

They were so shocked that they almost jumped out of bed.

Till...

Silent.

Slender.

Just the sound of rain falling out there. Tomi, Nilam and Mom looked at each other.

After that they get out of bed, Tomi walks in front, while Mom and Nilam follow Tomi behind her.

The sound of the creaking of the door of the room being opened wider rang out breaking the silence, their steps which were like people sneaking out of the room.

Blank...

The empty house room.

Only the front door curtains and the next room were visible, although no wind was blowing in.

Nilam and Mama tightened their hands.

Tomi looked at her study room whose door was slightly open.

Should we find out what's in there?

Or is it better to just ignore it and get out of the house as soon as possible?

Ah no!

Even on the road it is not safe. Especially Bik Surti...

"Hiks hyks..."

Suddenly in the inner room sounded like someone was crying.

It was obvious that no one was there, and it was definitely not human.

Mom immediately pulled Nilam into the room.

The two returned to bed, both faces deathly pale, both bodies trembling as well.

Tomi himself as a man can not just run away, if it was Lestari does he have to meet?

Does it have to be so that everything can be finished?

The curtain was rippling again, along with it looking like a shadow from there was approaching.

Tom tried to brace himself to stay standing.

Tired, he is tired, if he is Lestari, Tomi will strengthen himself to meet and talk.

Ah shit!!

How can I be as crazy as Iwan, talk to ghosts, and believe in them. Tomi's inner self cursed.

But...

Ttrzt... Trrtt...

Hp Tomi there is a new message coming in, after which the ringing call comes in too.

Tomi stared at the curtains of the room that were still rippling but no longer visible shadows, nor could the sound of women crying there.

Tomi with her limp hands grabbed hp from her pants pocket, she saw Iwan calling.

"Yes Wan."

Tomi answered Iwan's call.

"Bang, right this is Bik Surti, he was taken to the Hospital, this is the police going to the house, we have to give testimony before Bik Surti leaves the house."

Iwan.

"Oh yeah, go ahead."

Said Tomi.

The call ended.

"What's up?"

Mom who heard Tomi talking on the phone finally looked up from the door, while Nilam was still sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Bik Surti really died Mom, soon Iwan came with the police."

Bright Tomi.

"Lho, you're not wrong, how come the police?"

Tomi shook her head as she approached her mother.

"Calm Mom, they just want to ask for our testimony before Bik Surti gets out of the house."

Said Tomi.

Mother sighed.

"Who killed Bik Surti? Is that ghost? Can he kill people?"

Mom looked at Tomi with a frightened look.

Tom hugged his mother.

"Mom can go home if you are afraid here, go home with Nilam and Iwan, Mom."

Said Tomi hugging his mother and his eyes glazed over at his wife who was crying as she pleased.

"There's no way I can leave my son alone in a place like this, you better find somewhere else, let me pay. This house is definitely not safe anymore."

Oh my!!!

Araakk!!!

Tomi and Mom jumped in surprise.

Luckily Iwan and Dadang are back with the police.

"Good night."

Two policemen were seen greeting.

Tomi nodded in greeting to them, then allowed them to enter the house and sit in the living room.

Iwan who saw the pale mother finally told him to go into the room only with Nilam.

"What was the condition of Bik Surti when he was found?"

Mother asked when she was in the room, sitting with Nilam on the edge of the bed and Iwan standing in front of them.

"His head was smashed by Ma'am, but he could still be identified as Bik Surti. It was cruel to kill him."

Iwan.

"Man or ghost?"

Nilam interrupted, his voice trembling.

"It's not certain that the police are, but if I feel it's a ghost."

Iwan.

"The stone is too big if lifted up by humans, the position of Bik Surti killed also in a place that is too easy to see other humans. If the killer was human, he would definitely think dozens of times doing it."

Iwan.

Mum is sleepy, so is Nilam.

"Yes, killing on the side of the road whenever anyone passes by makes no sense if the killer is human."

Said Mother.

Iwan nodded.

"Iwan will accompany Bang Tomi to the police."

Iwan.

Mom and Nilam nodded.

"Mother and Sister Nilam are here, there will be nothing, the police only ask about Bik Surti."

Iwan.

Mom and Nilam nodded again.

Iwan went out of Nilam and Tomi's room where Nilam and Mom were sitting in fear.

Tomi was seen talking seriously with the police accompanied by Mr. Dadang.

Until then...

"Irfan, does Mr. Tomi know Mr. Irfan?"

Ask one of the police.

Tomi was clearly looking directly at Mr. Dadang.

"Where does Irfan mean sir? I'm sure the owner of Irfan's name is a lot."

Tomi.

The police officer held out a business card to Tomi.

A business card that is certainly no stranger to him.

Tomi took a business card from the police officer, then looked at the police with a confused look.

"We found it in the purse carrying the victim, later we will check his phone, maybe tomorrow you need Mr. Tomi's testimony again."

The police said.

Tom just nodded.

Still confused about what relationship Mr. Irfan with the death of Bik Surti.

After asking some other questions and can be answered well by Tomi, then the two policemen finally resigned.

"Thank you for the cooperation, Mr. Tomi, tomorrow we'll call back."

"Every sir, I will do my best to cooperate."

Tomi said, shaking the hands of the two policemen.

Tom escorted the two policemen out of the house.

"Sir Irfan, who is he?"

Iwan took a business card from his brother's hand.

"He was a branch office manager here before being replaced by me."

Said Tomi.

"Ooh, the previous manager who didn't live here was Mr Dadang?"

Iwan this time looked at Mr. Dadang.

It seemed that Mr. Dadang nodded, but his face was also like a confused person.

"Why Sir?"

Tanya Iwan caught the confusion of Mr. Dadang.

"Ohh it's okay, I just don't know Bik Surti and Mr. Irfan are close."

Said Mr. Dadang.

"Yes Bik Surti takes care of this house, of course he has some business cards of our cooperative manager."

Said Tomi.

Mr. Dadang despite his doubts remains sleepy.
