Followed by the Chaotic Creature
The Little Ghost's Request

The next morning at the office

"Mell!" Sofi immediately greeted, as soon as I saw me appear at the door. Some people have come.

"Your tumben's late? Usually the most diligent comes first." asked Sofi astonished.

"What's up Sof. Just because I had a hard time sleeping last night I woke up late." Answer lies. There's no way I'm saying I'm lazy to come in the morning for fear of being bullied by ghosts.

"Oh yeah, Mel, said you were sick huh? Is it because of the ghost? You're still bullied?" sofi asked again worried.

I've been sitting at my place and as usual Sofi is sitting next to me.

"No. Yesterday I was sick from the rain. So flu. But it's better now."

"Mell!" The new Neni came directly embracing my neck from behind making me suffocate.

"Nen, le-bee! I can't breathe!"

Neni instantly let go of her embrace.

"What are you doing, Mel?" Ask

"I almost died, Nen" I replied.

"Sorry" said Neni while grinning.

Molly and Alea came over. They all looked at me worried.

"What's wrong?" my many. I saw the children who came looking at me before sitting down.

'is there something wrong with me today?' my question is in my heart.

"So Mel..." Neni hasn't had a chance to tell Molly's already pulled Neni's hair pigtails, "Oh! Duh! Duh!"

"I told the story. If you're the one who told me the story isn't right" said molly cut.

"Because, when you don't come in, the little boy calls here again." Molly storytelling.

"What?" Seruku surprised.

"Yes. He's looking for you. He calls right here. The children who received the call told us, he said he wanted to talk to his brother who came. Who gave him candy." continued Molly.

"Children get a lot of calls from the boy, even until the mallem he is still neror as well" said Sofi continued.

"You got a call from that kid too?" much

"No. The four of us didn't call the boy. We only hear stories from children" Alea replied.

"Because the office was excited because of the ghost call. So they're kind of guilty of that, Mel. "Molly hesitated. "That's because you took that prank call. Some say it's a ghost who's 'sticking' on you."

"Therefore we worry you're all right. Especially if you don't come in. " Taught Neni

"Wait on! Waitaminute! How do they know what the boy is looking for, me ? You guys tell me I got that phone first?" my tote cuts.

Everyone shut up and looked towards Neni.

"No! I'm not the one who told you, Mel! The vow! I don't know where they know from." Neni denied, "You are so evil that you accuse me. " Then, rub her hair that Molly had pulled.

"You're the most cute among us" said Molly.

"But really, not me!" neni Whine

"Yes! yep! I believe." I said.

"Worse yet, .." Sofi continued.

'there's more? That kid's making trouble especially while I'm at home?' my grumbling is angry in my heart.

"You know Hilda, don't you?" I'm nodding. "He's also the one who got the ghost call. He's the most upset until he gets angry and slams the phone."

"So, not long after that he fell down the stairs. He said he was being pushed by the ghost of the little boy. "

\* \* \*

I couldn't focus, thinking about their story this morning. About Hilda too. Is it really the boy who did it? Without realizing it, I was waiting for a call from the boy.

It was 4pm and a half. I was getting ready to go home, that's when my last phone rang.

"Hallo, brother! Kangen huh?" he said with a distinctive laugh.

"You?!" I held back my anger. I have to make a calculation with this kid. He's been troubling at the office.

"Don't be angry, brother! The wrinkles will go away."

"I'm not wrinkled! I'm only 22 years old, little boy!"

"Yes Ello knows Big sister"

" I don't need a compliment. Now tell me what you want to find me here."

Although angry and irritated, I held my voice so as not to sound to others. Fortunately Sofi and Jho who were sitting on my right side were out.

"Ello wants to play with sister. Ello thought big brother came in." he said a bit.

"If you want to play, find someone else. I'm busy." I said ketus.

"Ello wants to play with sister. Don't want anything else." he whined.

"I don't want to play with bad boys."

"Ello is not naughty. Ello's a good boy."

"You're the one who's bothering the brothers here, aren't you?" I said nag him. The boy was silent for a moment.

"You pushed your sister down the stairs. Bener, right?" I asked to re-assure Sofi's story.

"Thank you that big brother wasn't Ello." denied the boy.

'Did Hilda lie?' my question is in my heart.

"Which did it, the ugly, long-haired older sister who was behind the older sister now."

"What?" I'm stunned. Instantly my back was hot as if it was burning, but shivering like a cold person. I turned around to confirm his words. But there's no one behind me.

Some of the seats are empty, some are preparing to go home.

"He's gone. Big brother was so serious that he did not realize he was behind brother from earlier." said the boy again.

"Can you see it?" my many. The boy assented.

"You.. are here ?" my question is the time he didn't answer. She's speechless. It seems he doesn't want me to know his location.

"alright. Now, what do you really want?" ask again. The boy hesitantly replied. "You're calling me not just messing around, are you ?"

"Mama." her voice sounded lethargic. "Mama Ello's birthday soon."

"Ello wants to say birthday to my mom. Want to say sorry to make mama sad, Ello can not see mama again. But Ello always loved mom." her voice sounded sad inviting my empathy.

A child this small, at the age that still needs a lot of affection his parents were forcibly separated from his family.

"Where's your home address? Don't tell me you don't know the address!"

I then recorded her home address and her parents' names.

"I'll visit this week. But don't expect too much. Not necessarily your parents trust me." I told him. He's pleased.

"Lho?" I was surprised to see the location of his home address was different from the location of the village I visited yesterday. Then why did he take me there? The forest! Suddenly I remembered about the forest.

"Yesterday you invited me into that forest, didn't you? What are you taking me there for?" Again the boy was silent, "Did you die in the forest? " My urge again asked. At the same time...

"Praak!" The sound of things falling on the table. "Nen, what's wrong?" Jho asked who was passing by, reprimanding Neni.

"It-it's. Slippery glass. So it fell." Answer Neni stammering. Then laugh nervously.

I'm petrifying. I forgot that Neni was sitting in front of me. Did he hear all our conversations? Since when did he hear it? How do I explain it to him?

While I was confused and panicked, my connection with the child was cut off.
