The Rituals

Ensuring

That morning Alvaro asked all his friends including Glen who had a feud with him yesterday, to gather at the school break at the canton.

Alvaro had the intention to talk about what he and Cindy had experienced to all of them, because unexpectedly when he picked up Cindy this morning, it turned out that the woman had fallen ill.

And Alvaro came to the conclusion that his best friend had fallen ill the moment they experienced last night.

"Hi Al!"

Alvaro who was already sitting waiting for him was surprised when a hand patted his shoulder, he glanced at Sinta who was now sitting next to him and brought two glasses of juice.

The woman gave him one glass and drank another glass of juice with a straw.

Alvaro smiled as he got the juice for free from Sinta.

"Thanks Ta!" Alvaro thanked him and drank avocado juice with chocolate on it.

Sinta who got the greeting nodded, and again drank the juice while glancing to the right and left, looking for other friends.

"Oh yeah.. Where's Cindy? I didn't see him with Lu this morning!" Sinta asked as she realized the absence of the beautiful woman.

Usually, almost every morning Cindy always comes with Alvaro, if the woman does not have a shooting schedule and other things related to work.

But today he had not seen the woman at all, so he was curious and asked Alvaro.

"There's a schedule?" Ask Sinta again. Alvaro shook his head and put the glass he held back onto the table.

"Cindy's sick, so she's not in school today." Clearly Alvaro, Sinta was quite surprised to hear that answer.

"Who's sick?" Alvaro and Sinta simultaneously looked up, to look at Ardhan who came with a bowl of porridge and sweet tea he brought.

Making the two people who saw it frown at them.

"Lu's sick Dhan?" Ask Sinta, and that question is also what Alvaro wants to ask the man in front of him.

Ardhanter was silent with both eyebrows raised in confusion, then he shook his head while looking at the porridge and warm sweet tea before him.

"No! I haven't had breakfast, so I'm porridge." Replied Ardhan casually.

Sinta who got the answer just nodded, and went back to drinking her juice.

Alvaro shook his head at the man.

"I think it hurts, it's food porridge for the sick." Alvaro muttered, and Ardhan who heard the remark replied in the middle of chewing.

"Nggaj too!"

"Morning!" Mika and Arina came up to the three and sat down in the empty seat on the table, in their hands there were already omelets and other food they ordered.

Alvaro only glanced at the food to check if they also ordered porridge like Ardhan or not, and he again drank the juice that Sinta had given him earlier.

"Mik Jiang!' Sinta answered Mika's greeting with a ignorant smile on her face.

Mika who heard the reply from Sinta also put her lips forward and apologized without making a sound to the woman, making Arina who was beside her just a small laugh.

"So what's up Al?" Mika asked, then she cut off her omelet to taste a little first before she ate it.

Arina who was next to Mika also glanced at Alvaro with a non-curious look.

She knew what Alvaro wanted to tell them all.

"We'll wait for Glen." Alvaro replied, who did not want to explain this repeatedly.

"Live it!" Glen who came and sat beside Alvaro immediately charged what Alvaro wanted to tell them.

Mika was silent when she saw that the two men had made up after yesterday's problems for which she had no idea why.

"So malem, I'm the same Cindy with the ghost." Obviously Alvaro, they all flinched.

Ardhan stops his eating activities and draws closer to Alvaro when he feels that he has been misheard.

Glen who was indeed sitting beside the right of the man glanced at Alvaro with the tip of his eyes.

"Where-how?" Sinta asked who was sitting beside her left, different from the other four people.

Arina simply drank her drink casually and stared at Alvaro who was staring at her.

"Repeat Al!" Pinta Mica's. Alvaro took his breath out slightly heavily, before finally telling the details of the incident he and Cindy had experienced last night.

She told how she and Cindy heard a loud sound of laughter from the direction of the tree, and explained to all of them that Cindy was sick today.

"So, you suspect Cindy's sick from yesterday?" Ask Sinta who summed up all of Alvaro's stories.

The man nodded and looked at Arina who was currently silent before them all with her head slightly bowed.

"Ri!" Call Alcaro, make the woman look up to look at him.

"It's the same ghost as yesterday's ghost right?" Ask Alvaro.

Mika, Sinta Ardhan and Glen were now looking at the woman in the black jacket with curiosity.

Waiting for an answer from Arina, was that figure the same as the one who came to Mika the other day?

Arina seems reluctant to answer the question, but she remembers that she had promised her friends, and even made a deal that if the ghost came back then they would all find out.

"Yes, this ghost is the same ghost." Arina answered in the end. They all looked worried about it, Alvaro even leaned himself on the chair where he was sitting tiredly.

They were all dead, immersed in their own thoughts.

"Lo see her figure, Al?" Asked Glen, Alvaro who got the question immediately shook his head.

Because he did not see anything at that time, and only heard a loud laughter.

"But you don't know Cindy! You see, yesterday he didn't want to say anything and went straight into the room with his mom." Answer Alvaro.

Glen who asked and got such an answer nodded, and went back to thinking about what might have happened.

"Do we have to make sure, and ask him now?" Asked Arina who suddenly opened her voice.

All of them were shocked at Arina who was confused by the reaction of her friends.

"Why?" Ask to see if there is something wrong with the sentence he said, or if there is something wrong with the question.

"No, Ri. We are shocked! But your idea is good too. We're going to Cindy's home from school today. All visiting?' Ardhan.

"Where are guys?" Ask Ardhan, seeking the other's approval.

One by one they nodded in agreement and in the end they agreed to visit Cindy today.

To visit the woman and ascertain whether she saw a ghost figure last night or not.
