Guess The Ghosts

He hurriedly opened the door so that outside light could enter the house. *kllek!... The man who had been knocking and calling constantly was now smiling when he saw someone open the door. The man then gave his greetings and gave the reason for his arrival to the boy who opened it.
"Good morning, Spell. You want to go to school, right? Can I see your father?" The man's hand was clutching something like a document that was given a neat cover outside.
The boy's eyes looked suspicious, but since it was none of his business, he simply ignored it and did not answer any of the man's questions.
"Oh, hi! Want to meet with Mr RT, huh? Please enter. I'll call him" He revived the fuse that was near the door.
"Thank you" said the man.
...
The woman looked at her son's departure with a hopeful look and then closed the door tightly.

Turns out the drizzle isn't really over. When the hands are stretched up, small drops of water from the sky can be felt by anyone, the road also becomes damaged because of the rain that pooled.
Cold air and a quiet atmosphere were used by the man to enjoy relaxing time on the bridge which was in a deeper area or could be called a bridge to another village. To go back and forth takes 7 minutes if using a motorcycle, and it is true if he does not really go straight to school, he intended to wait for the sun to shine and approach someone who was on his mind at this time.

"I brought her pr or not, huh?" ...
In front of the class, the male and female students looked uneasy and checked their bags. It's not the first time a situation like this has happened, in previous years' he said, so Zaidan just passed those people as usual.
Now that Zaidan was almost at the front of his class, but his feelings became strange all of a sudden, he felt as if he had a shock that made his heart pound, but what shocked his body?, Zaidan tried to ignore him.
On the doorstep of the classroom, the passionate feeling had ended. A boy who had his back to Zaidan turned around, and the whole class was staring at him.
"Zaidan! You really are Zaidan in this class, wow!" Spell overjoyed at the figure of Zaidan who had just stepped into the classroom. All the people who happened to be there immediately talked about Zaidan who usually rarely hang out but was suddenly spoken to by one of the famous children. They were so curious that they could not cover up their obvious intentions.
Zaidan until frightened by this new situation, he tried to avoid it as Eja started walking towards him.
"Hello, you were yesterday's kid, right? Since we're legitimate friends, we'll be together at break time, okay?" He smiled very brightly.
Zaidan really did not get an idea why the man wanted to be close to him. Instead of feeling happy about getting a friend who is good, he is even afraid of the situation that requires him to agree with the words of others in front of the class with many pairs of eyes that see.
"ee... I don't know...."
He lowered his head and avoided looking at the higher Spell a few centi.
"What did you say? Sorry, I didn't hear it" Before Zaidan could answer, he resumed his voice, "I want to tell you something, but I'm not sure you want to hear it. But for example don't mind, will you meet me later?" His voice rose, it sounded quite clear that he was excited for something. This makes Zaidan a dilemma.
'What should I say instead...?' Mind struggling. "Emh... well, alright... a—I will sit down," he said holding back tears that almost dripped.
Zaidan stepped nervously to where his chair was. Judging from his sparkling face, surely the man was satisfied with Zaidan's answer earlier. And now Zaidan thought hard to find a way not to meet with his classmates as requested, but how about?

*Kringgg!!!
All students flocked out of their classes and visited the cafeteria.
...
There is a degree difference in the school Seonarkaya (sonarkaya), which is a difference in citizenship that can change the power of the person in the school Seonarkaya. Easily, this school can accommodate children who come from outside the area that is deeper, of course there will be no school and education buildings there, therefore most of these disciples came from very far away villages and went to the Red Peacock area just to attend school. That is why schools have many students and students, but even so, this difference makes children do not get along with the "Dibalik" supervision of teachers.

"Zaidan's..."
Nina's soft voice moved Zaidan from her daydream. It seemed that Nina was really worried about her, she felt that it would be more comfortable to talk about her "Difficulty" to Nina who definitely listened well.
"Nina, in the class I was invited to meet someone. Might as well. But I'm confused whether or not to meet him, what if we're not fit to be friends?" he stared at Nina.
"Oh, do you remember the man we met in the big tree? He is the one!" He suddenly felt excited, but at once he was lethargic to think about what he should do, and while the break went on, about 10 minutes would be over.
"Go see him, why are you afraid of not fitting in?"
"I'm just scared, Nina. Mothers often say that friendships must be in the same situation in order to understand each other and must also have the same nature."
"And the man must be so different from me, he always shines wherever he is, everyone knows him," his eyes glanced down.
"Is that what Zaidan is worried about?" he hooked his hands together in front, "Fear is indeed an enemy, but there is no harm in trying to fight the enemy with all the hope that Zaidan had. Just like that time in the big tree, Zaidan also told me not to give up. Now, it's Zaidan who has to show it."
The series of motivations may sound short and also difficult to understand at the end of a few sentences, but the impact of the series of words made Nina managed to amaze Zaidan. He felt he had raised something from difficult to communicate to a friend who always entertained him. Again water came out of his eyes, this time one of his eyelids could not hold him for long and finally fell down.
As he rubbed the drops, Zaidan muttered, "Nina now believes in Zaidan, right?"
Nina looked at the whole direction like a search-way answer, "... Is that possible?"
***
So far people have never seen Nina in person except the girls who were unconscious yesterday. Zaidan was happy and at the same time lucky, but he was also confused why he could take Nina here and there without seeing one person 'pun.
Shouldn't there be at least an allusion of people capable of seeing such a thing in this school? but yasudah, after all, it was a relief to be able to take Nina away without fear.
"Hey, Zaidan!" Someone waved his hand and called out Zaidan's name, when he looked closely, that person was right was Spell.
Zaidan turned his head back to make sure that Nina was okay. Then walked up to his classmate with a heart that was now lighter than before. *drap. Drapery. Drapery. He walked through the crowd and stopped right next to Eja.
"I don't think you're going to see me, I almost feel sad, hahaha. Oh, ja. Do you want to order something? Meatballs in the cafeteria this part is delicious! Tried already??"
Zaidan grumbled in his heart, "Meeting a man like this is the right choice....?" he questioned his presence back in this canteen with Eja.
...... ...
"Yes, I tried it.. It seems so lucky to be able to get hold of that meatball lately. Have you ever eaten Fried Rice bu Weni as well?" ask Zaidan.
"Yes, yes!! It's also delicious, what if we ate it today? I'll buy it for you" Spell back.
"Eh, uh! It's not necessary. I had breakfast this morning, I'm not hungry either..."
Zaidan raised both of his palms and subtly rejected the man's offer. Spija then spoke again saying something that made Zaidan instantly speechless.
"Ey, just accept~ Actually right now I really need your help. Please listen to my story first, okay? It's about my family, if it can't help it doesn't matter, at least be willing to listen to my story.." The look on the man's face that was originally filled with a happy smile, was now slowly eroded into a sliced smile.
"Attent, yeah. I ordered the Fried Rice first"
