In the evening, everyone gathered at Ardian's house to talk about where they lived. Angga and Ardian agreed to stay together in one of Ardian's studio-type boarding rooms, which was in his showroom.
While at the house Dhania will accompany her sisters, and Maura still lives in her boarding house. He did not want to be invited to the house together, because he felt sad even though there was his biological brother though.
"Sir, why did you become a lecturer at our campus? Strange, all of a sudden you're here and teaching so soon," asked Kevin curiously.
Tonight Kevin deliberately did not go to college so he could have dinner with others, including to talk about them.
"We have some connections here, did you forget that Papah is a real person here as well? He has a close friend who happens to be one of the foundation boards of your campus, they allow us to be temporary lecturers, because there are two lecturers who are on vacation together." replied Dhania.
"Who are those two teachers? Usually at a University there should be no teaching staff or lecturers who are in a relationship," asked Angga also curious.
"Oh, Miss Vera and Mr. Damar.. They were our lecturers, they were newly married and he said he went to honeymoon and wanted to do something for about two or three months, and Vera was the son of one of the rectors on this campus.." answer Maurice anyway.
"Oh, pantesan.." said Dhania while the mangosteen.
They were chatting coolly and did not feel like it was going to midnight, Maura was escorted home by Angga to his boarding house, Ardian wanted to drive him but was banned by Angga.
"Before we move into your showroom, tonight we sleep in your room with Kevin, Dhania with Maurice. Tonight let me drive Maura home, there's something I want to tell her." Angga told Ardian.
"Yes, sis.." said Ardian, but he also had something to convey to Maura.
The girl after knowing there was a misunderstanding between the two of them, did not say anything to him, let alone to apologize, just chatted a lot with him not.
.
.
Angga chose to drive Maura home on foot, actually the distance between the Maura boarding house and the Ardian house is not far just a few kilometers away, only limited walkway to the children's playground in the housing.
"May.." rebuked Angga after a long time in silence among them.
"Hem.." - Maura.
"How's here? Are you having a lot of trouble?" ask Angga.
"Difficulty must exist, especially if I have just come to Indonesia. Although this is not a foreign country to me, but after a dozen years I just came here again, everything became new to me.
Moreover.. At Grandma's house, even though everything was being nice but there were so many falsehoods there. While there I could not distinguish what was good and what was bad, what looked cold turned out to be the good, the good even plunged me.
I don't know if you can do this if you're in my position, but you know.. Only Ardian here can really help me, even if I'm exposed to danger..
I hope you're not too hard on him, and just trust him. I was able to get through this all thanks to his support as well.. I hope I don't separate us, I don't want to stay with him or not meet for a few days, as long as not separating us is enough for me." Maura said, he walked slowly while bowing his head.
It sounded Angga was sighing, I don't know what he was thinking at the moment that clearly he seemed to think more, he looked at his sister and smiled knots.
"I didn't think that my sister was an adult, not just her age but her thoughts as well. I understand what you're thinking, I can understand it.. And I'm sorry if I become an overprotective sister, that's all I do to keep you from irresponsible people.
I believe in him anyway, if not how could you let me continue to be together during this time. Brother only thinks about your safety and happiness, because brother is afraid of you like sister Tari...
He secretly bears the burden of being alone in dealing with the 'excess' he has, but instead believes in the wrong person, the one who only uses himself." Angga said again.
"Yes, I understand that. I also do not want to be like that, so as much as possible not to rely too much on others, so that I can be independent myself. If I were alone, I would at least know what to do..
Anyway, Ardian understands me very well. He knows what to help and what not to help, he sometimes just watches me from a distance so I feel comfortable. But I also sometimes feel guilty with him because often not with him, sometimes if there is a problem I did not have time to tell him, he was angry. Not angry because of anything else, but angry fear me why-why.. He was attentive in his own way" Maura said, unconsciously smiling as she talked about Ardian.
Angga smiled as well when he saw the expression on his sister's face, at least he and his father did not choose the wrong person to take care of Maura, a man who was given a big enough responsibility to keep trust from them.
"Ec, Maura.. How do I feel a bit strange with the environment here, how lonely is it anyway?!" said Angga while his eyes went around looking around him.
"Learn, it's night too. This is different from other big cities, let alone America, different!" sahut Maura while smiling amusedly looked at her brother.
"I know about it, but the answer is different. Like there was something," said Angga again, he rubbed his neck several times.
As they passed the playground, the park in front of Maura's constant, Angga saw a glimpse of a shadow passing through the park, so quickly across them.
"Astaghfirullah, what is it?!" yelled Angga surprised.
"What's up, brother?!" Maura was surprised to hear her brother's scream.
Angga was silent while observing the direction of the shadow that stopped under a large tree across the park, Maura followed the direction of the view of the brother, now he knew what his brother saw.
"He's the park's waiter, he's not evil just once in a while. Let's just stay, later he thought brother would invite him to play again, bother ntarnya!" maura said while pulling Angga's hand.
"But-but.." The dog looks like confusion.
"Now, don't ignore it! Later to the geeran again he, he did so if he saw there was a new person, his fad went out immediately," said Maura again.
Finally Angga agreed to follow Maura and chose to ignore the ghost..
"You're cheating on me?! Uh, little boy! I'm used to seeing demons now, so don't be afraid! Sana enter, the girl is not good for a long time outside," said Angga annoyed to feel underestimated.
"Ish, bed! Ghosts in America or other European countries are different from ghosts here, here are more diverse forms! From the cute to destroyed a lot, but do not be fooled by the appearance, usually the cute is more evil and sadistic!" maura said explaining everything about the world of haunting that she knew of course.
"Allah, everywhere whose name is the same ghost! Already, get in there!" said Angga did not care about Maura's talk earlier.
"Ish, say it too!" mura murmur.
Krieett!
The gate was opened Maura slowly, because it was so night the boarding children were already in their respective rooms, the sound of the iron fence ringing was heard loud when Maura opened it, he was quite slow to open it.
"Astaghfirullah, Maura! What place do you live, really cool!" said Angga shivering.
When the gate opened, they were greeted by the Kunti on the tree with his giggling laughter that anyone heard was made to creep by him.
Even Angga had seen another shadow passing from the bottom of the floor of the boarding room, even the shadow was observing them.
"Are you sure you still want to stay here?" ask Angga.
"Yes, if I can't stand it, I'll just fly the white flag, haha!" kanda Maura's.
"Heh, seriously no little boy!" said Angga annoyed while pinching his head.
"sick! Seriously though, they're lemongrass but they're not too distracting. Most occasionally like his prank, but this is still mending when compared to the old boarding house," said Maura while recalling.
Actually there are still many stories that have not been told by Maura during her time in Indonesia, including when she met their real aunt, the sister of Laura Magdalena.
"Yes already if you can handle it, but if why-why directly contact us and you immediately move away," said Angga while saying goodbye to him.
Maura smiled at the thoughtful brother, then closed the gate again and went upstairs to her room, he pretended not to hear when the Kunti forced him to ask to be known with Angga.
Meanwhile, outside the quiet and cold Angga walked a little faster than usual. She followed Maura's advice not to pay attention to her surroundings, and ignored the voices that teased her.
And sure enough, the black shadow under the tree just as quickly as lightning approached Angga, his body was thin but his stature was like a child, like a child but had very long legs.
"Hey, play with me!" whispered in the ears of Angga.
"Don't pretend not to hear, I know you can see and hear me!" said the ghost.
Angga chose to ignore it and continued walking, staring straight ahead without even glancing at it. But the ghost did not stay silent, he instead confronted Angga at the end of the road.
The confused gogga must how, if he walks around it means he shows himself if he can see all the creatures that are there, if not dodge then he will face them, he will face them, while he currently looks so tense with a cold sweat wetting his body.
"Bismillah, I believe that if we have no ill will then God will guard and protect us from all temptations and disturbances to this devil!" he murmured in the heart.
The ghost stood in the middle of the road blocking the steps of Angga, his body suddenly blackened with reddened eyeballs and grinning revealing his black teeth and issuing rotten, splintered mucus.
Gegara the prankster, the other creatures that hide in those places are curious and also pay attention to Angga, they try to approach Angga. And..
Sriiinngg!
Brmmmm!
The light from the sports motor was dazzling, the sound of the motor was loud startling all the creatures including the ignorant ghost earlier, they all disappeared and hid.
Angga immediately sat down limp, he felt just released from a sudden heart attack. The motor sport stopped right in front of him, the owner came down and approached Angga.
"How, is the heart still safe?!" a familiar voice sounded in his ear.
"You.." Angga breathed a sigh of relief it was Ardian.
"That's why I also want to drive Maura home, even though the distance is close but it feels far away because we will definitely pass them all!" ardian said as he pointed at some of the creatures still seen peering at them from afar.
"At least I can drive Maura with this bike, if you want why not take my bike?" asked Ardian while extending his hand so that Angga could get back up.
"Why didn't you say that?!" sulkan Angga was upset.
"Well, he said he wanted to walk!" sahut Ardian does not want to lose.
"If I knew there were too many and creepy demons here, I would walk! Where Maura was also silent did not say anything, just said it because I met a direct demon, where had time to nakutin again!" gerutu Angga while riding a motorcycle with Ardian.
This time Ardian did not reply, he just laughed. Finally Angga could feel his fear all this time when driving Maura home, but now he was used to it, even to the ghost when he heard the sound of his motorbike leaving.
