Ghost Hunt: Panic in the Country
Vol. 0: I Lost | 16. Decisions

Astan noticed the woman who was typing something on her smartphone. After the woman finished typing, she immediately showed it. Astan read the words on the rectangular screen carefully.

“I'm Synta Ameina, I'm a member of the organization G-Hunt.” Synta introduced herself with her soft voice.

“I Astan Putra Ugraha, you can call Astan.” Astan smote him with a faint smile.

“I can help you register it. And also, they should be checked as well. Jaws province is very strict, in contrast to Batav province. They tend not to believe in things like this. Oh yeah, are you going to work or just vacation?” ask Synta with a brief explanation.

“Go home,” reply Instant briefly.

“Ah, you monitor. Me too,” replied Synta with great pleasure.

They talk to each other, though only Synta is very hyperactive and cheerful. Astan answered and answered it with ordinary help. A few hours later, the boat stopped right at the dock. All the passengers scattered out, as well as Astan who walked with Synta. They walked to the exit gate and were checking while giving identity cards for data. Astan continued to follow the steps of Synta until they were in front of a building with an old wall. Without saying anything Atan followed Synta and they were now in front of a reception desk.

After writing each other's names in the ledger, they quickly walked towards one of the rooms upstairs. A man in an eccentric outfit gave some questions to Astan and his five friends. It didn't take long, Astan had finished with all the affairs in this place. Astan and Synta decided to split up here. Astan continued to watch over Synta who was walking away from him. A few seconds later, Astan walked in the opposite direction. Astan is looking for a bus that will take him to the destination city.

When Astan found his destination bus, he quickly got in and picked the bench in third. Some people also boarded the bus. After no passengers wanted to board, the bus started and drove away from Dehian City. One full day of travel that Astan took to have been in the bus terminal of Banlau city. The sun was at nine o'clock, Astan headed for the stop, sitting waiting until the bus arrived. Astan stepped in and sat in the very back seat.

It did not take long, Astan had been in front of the house with the color of the walls fading. The bushes have grown in the yard of the house. He stepped in with a recall of the memories of the past. Slowly Astan opened the door, both of Astan's eyes looked at the furniture of the house covered by a white cloth. Astan headed to the bedroom, put the bag next to the closet and took out all the white cloths covering the items. Astan opened a small closet and issued two black photo albums with the title 'Ugraha Family'. The other one is blue mixed with pink. 

He opened the album in blue looking at every photo in it that was filled with smiles on every face. Making Astan recall the memories with Rei and Rui. How they worry about Astan so much and always scold him if he comes home in a mess. Astan also opened a photo of his original family album. Although Astan does not remember the events that caused his father and mother to leave. However, Astan still remembered the beautiful memories with his parents. When Astan was busy recalling the beautiful memory, a loud and loud noise called out his name. Instan quickly put the photo album and headed for the yard. Three children, aged about 7, were standing. One of them argued with the invisible creature that Astan brought.

Getting questions from Astan keeps them quiet in nervousness. Without answering and saying anything, the children left. After the departure of the children, Astan stepped in and left those who were laughing at him. Immediately open all the cloths covering the items in the house. Cleaning dust and all equipment that needs cleaning. Five hours had passed, Astan finished cleaning the entire house and re-pairing the white cloth. Astan had been wearing casual clothes and would go to enjoy the rest of the time he had. Together the five of them left home, doing activities to entertain themselves, such as eating and traveling around the city on a tourist bus.

After they spend time entertaining themselves. They are resting themselves because of the feeling of tiredness and fast asleep. Unconsciously, out there. A woman with long white hair and wearing a white mask with a blue rose was observing the residence of Astan.

All night, the woman just sat on the roof of Astan's house until the sky began to light. The woman just left before people saw her. Shortly after his departure, Astan had just woken up from sleep with a messy face and hair. Astan rushed to clean himself, entering some items to be brought. Astan goes back to the city and lives for the future. At this time, Astan was in his residence, cleaning up all the things he was carrying. Not to forget, Astan also cleaned the entire residence. After all, Astan sat on the bed with a question in his brain.

“I'd really like to ask you something. So, what's the point of me bringing you guys and the sword? You said you only need to bring it so you can come along, but it seems like more than that,” asked Astan who made them give each other a look, until Hugo decided to open his voice.

“So, like this. Rumors about you have spread, I'm afraid something bad happened. At least, if you take us and Rei's sword. They think twice about bothering you" Hugo replied. Astan nodded his head in understanding, even though he thought it would not work. Because he doesn't know anything at the moment.

“I'll look for the culprit who killed Kak. Rei,” said Instant fast without thinking long.

“I suggest, you better improve yourself. With your current self, you will not be able to defeat them.” Yeni opened her voice after hearing Astan's words, making them all give her a look.

“Do I need to log into the G-Hunt organization?” ask Astan.

“For now, it's a choice to choose. They will help you in improving yourself and also, about where you work. They are all members of the G-Hunt organization. That's because they need protection in terms of law and well, investigation also.” replied Yeni.

Astan who listened to this did not show a surprised face at all. The clock shows at 12:00 pm and Astan has not rested yet. After they spent time talking, Astan decided to go to sleep.
