Guess The Ghosts
Page 10
- A man from another country that raised in Indonesia.
———
The leaves fell from the tree because the wind that came out of nowhere blew very hard.
Zaidan just stood and was silent, he did not know whether to say hello or ignore the man. Whereas if he gives a greeting, Zaidan will sound close-knit when they have never spoken to each other before. And if he ignored it and walked back, he would most likely be labeled as weird and arrogant, and it was even worse.
Therefore he continued to walk forward to the point where he felt that the distance of the man and he was so close.
"Hey.."
It was fortunate that the man immediately returned the favor.
"oh, hello"
After they get together, they stay quiet again.
But the man did not take his eyes off Zaidan, so the young man was at a loss for words and felt like hiding his face instead of facing the situation.
But in the end Eja started the conversation again by asking what Zaidan wanted to do in that place.
"Why did you go to this place?, I heard that there was rarely someone who came here because of the rumors that circulated about the haunted big tree"
With a naive Zaidan said,
"Why are you here too? did you come because of that rumor?, I myself came here just to enjoy the scenery here.." suddenly he remembered Nina and looked back so quickly.
"Uh-hh. This place is really good, anyway"
"And what you said is true. I just came to see if this tree has ghosts or not. By the way what's your name?, I feel like you're one of my classmates"
"oh, that's right. I'm Zaidan..."
"Then this is our first meeting. My name is Spell."
Spij thrust his hand out, and it made Zaidan feel panicked. Zaidan shook his hand and showed an awkward smile that was very typical of him.
And when the handshake came off, Eja then asked if Zaidan wanted to relax in that place with her for a while because the weather looked so good at the moment.
But hearing that Zaidan immediately rejected him.
He will be in trouble if he makes a lot of excuses to go home late. Moreover, his mother is very unhappy if he is friends with his classmates because it will make gluttony in the heart of the person,
And it turns out that what the mother said was real.
"Aha, maybe not because it looks like I should go home first..."
Zaidan quickly left the confused Eja without giving the slightest explanation.

The day is getting hotter. Lou Yan who was in the living room alone was getting bored, but he had to be patient waiting for someone who could drive him home.
Then some time later we see the foot walking in.
It turned out that the one who had just entered was Vivie who was seen holding an invitation paper in her hand. Of course the invitation would attract Lou Yan's attention.
"Vivienne, what about the car?"
Vivie answered with pleasure.
"It's in the front. Besides, how can you come here without a private car?, you use public transportation?"
"Hahaha, yes. Instead of being more comfortable like that?, I also want to go anywhere without a burden."
"hmm, and that... invitation of the event?"
Vivie instantly noticed Lou Yan's eyes were pointed clearly at the red ribbon-tipped invitation paper she was currently holding. No need to explain it for a long time, Vivie just said that it was a small piece of trash that she would throw away, and would just give it away if the man wanted to.
"No. It's just the trash I picked up earlier"
"And if Mister Luo Yan wants it, I don't feel any objection"
Vivie smiled broadly as she handed the paper to Lou Yan. The man then picked it up with a small laugh as he did not expect to get the treatment in such a situation.
*sets.
After taking the invitation, without looking at it in more detail he immediately stood up and stared at the woman in front of him intensely. Not to forget he also gave a smile that was always his mainstay when overcoming the woman. Mother of Zaidan.
"Vivienne, don't you feel like you're too caged by your son? with an event like this should be an opportunity for a mother to show her social environment to her child"
"So I think it's better to keep it."
He reveals what he wants to say. But with those words, Vivie seemed more offended than she thought.
Lou Yan was stunned.
"Oh, I didn't mean to demean Vivie"
"But Lou Yan has said the same thing before, and I still remember it to this day"
"Could it be that Lou Yan has never felt it so does not understand how parents treat their children out there?, she said, many do not care and even with the heart to torture the child who is actually clean"
"I'm never going to do it to Zaidan, even I want the best for him, and you call that confinement?"
Vivie glanced at the invitation paper and looked back at Lou Yan.
"You're really annoying if it's like this, Lou Yan. I don't want to hear stuff like this in my house anymore. If Zaidan hears it, he'll be upset with you too"
That sweet smile that could have made one look as if one were in the seventh heaven, now faded like a burning flower and became ashes....
Although Lou Yan looked uncomfortable, but he could not dodge it. His lips twitched, then said words.. "Mrs Vivienne is right." He squeezed the invitation paper in his hand.
"I was too much this time. I hope Madam can forgive me."
As soon as she finished expressing her guilt, Lou Yan grabbed Vivie's hand and immediately bowed.
Once he had bowed, he immediately kissed the woman's hand and saw what expression he showed.
***
In front of the fence Kesti house, already seen a parked car and Kesti also who seems to be talking to the driver in the car.
When Lou Yan walked over, Kesti immediately turned his head and smiled warmly.
Lou Yan thanked the two.
"Thank you Mrs Kesti and also thank you to the father who was willing to deliver me."
It turned out that, after talking for a few minutes, the father was friendlier than what Lou Yan saw.
And at the same time Lou Yan also realized that the aged man was one of Kesti's loyal 'customers.
That means Kesti is very meticulous when choosing someone who has no possibility to damage his reputation.

Crossing the main road, the car carrying Lou Yan is seen leading to the city. Inside the car Lou Yan stared out the window that could only be seen from one direction.
Suddenly the father driving beside her asked with a strange smile. I don't know, a strange or friendly smile is now difficult to distinguish.
"It seems I've heard your name. But I don't know where"
Lou Yan felt suffocated.
Never expected that he would receive such a question when he already felt calm.
"Are you someone famous? Maybe I am senile because I have not listened to the radio for a long time" the father said in a joking tone.
"I'm not very famous, but I'm sure that at least you heard my name once on the radio or elsewhere." Answer Lou Yan.
It's true what he said.
As a painter, he is very famous in the place of news newspapers, radio, and television. But one of the places where the most news spread makes it superior is television and handheld cell phones that are currently often used in urban areas.
At this time there is still no news about his arrival, so therefore he must be as good as possible to hide his existence from the community so as not to cause new news.
"really? Ah, however, I am so old to be able to remember the names of people today... By the way how old are you, son?" He turned to look at Lou Yan.
"23 of this year."
The car turns and runs slowly. Apparently they were close to the gas station, then the father who did not tell his name was removing the car seat belt and preparing to open the door.
"Wait a minute here, son"
*bus.
Car door closed.
On a whim Lou Yan looked at the clock hanging in his hand. It doesn't feel like it's been more than 8.
When still cool to look at the watch, suddenly the phone in his pocket vibrates.
"...Fel?, why'd this kid call?"
When the phone was checked, it turned out that his assistant was the one who made the voice. Since the assistant should not have called until he returned, he suspected that there was actually something urgent going on, and since it was an urgent call, Lou Yan picked him up.
