*tak. no.
The sound of cutting between the knife and the cutting board adorned the silence in the dining room.
Kesti who sat on the table-eat chair did not take his eyes off Vivie in the slightest.
Kesti said in a flat tone that seemed fed up with "stop it, Vivie."
Not wanting to make her mother angry, Vivie ended the onion cutting and threw the onions into the trash.
"All right, I'm not gonna do it back"
"But I'll do it if one day it's needed.may I?"
Vivie smiled warmly at Kesti.
Kesti certainly can not say anymore. Although it is true Vivie stopped, but throwing away food ingredients such as onions is also not a good action. "Ohhh..."
His expression was filled with a pressure that seemed very clear. In order to drown his cladding feeling, he drank the wanggy tea prepared by his son, Vivie.
"Listen-heard Lou Yan is coming back to Indonesia after his 3 years old, huh?"
Vivie who knew where Kesti's talk was going replied with a slightly lazy face.
"Why do you have to ask me? Wasn't that natural when he returned to the place where his name was famous?"
"Darling, I think you've been locked away at home for too long." she threw a worried look for a moment, before she spoke again.
"Remember when the man said if it wasn't just our family he was serving around this estate? Yesterday I saw some paintings that looked like his work on a car. I think it'll be mortgaged based on those paintings that are already dull."
At first Vivie did not believe and continued to wash the dirty dishes after breakfast, and told Kesti that it might just be a coincidence, Vivie began to wonder if maybe what her mother said was true.
"What's his business with us? And also going around the country takes a long time. I don't think he's someone who likes to waste his time "he's trying to let it go.
"Have it been if you did not believe, but I have today brought you a letter that I did not give you yesterday"
Kesti with a wide smile and narrowed eyes, showed a slip of letter that Vivie instantly recognized.
To be honest, in the paper it says, "For a long time without seeing, my brush dries because it can not color the canvas with your beautiful color. But it won't last long. I'll be here soon."

The black car stopped. A man in a black suit and a box-shaped briefcase came down from the car, then gave the driver some money.
After the car drove away, the man walked over and opened the fence in front of him.
"Why is this place darker than before?"
Entering the courtyard, the man circulated his gaze even though it was clear there was nothing but a few plants that were intentionally planted.
Suddenly a 'threatened' feeling was felt.
In the man's view, there was an unreasonable gray mist circling the place he was on his feet. It makes more sense when the atmosphere was still morning and sunny, and it is impossible there are sane humans who burn garbage at this time.
Watching a leaf in front of his eyes that fell at a slow speed turned to be as if flying, with a quick movement he immediately looked back as an evasive action then pulled something that had almost attacked him.
"Kuntilanak....?"
***
This morning Nina was nowhere to be seen.
Zaidan is still confused about where the fault lies which makes Nina or the ghost mistress disappear.
"Is it possible that the mission has been completed? But why so fast?"
"I don't even know what I've done..."
Walking into the living room, a knock was suddenly heard from the main door. Zaidan who will be there also immediately opened the door without suspicion.
When he opened it, he was surprised when he saw a tall man with a white face as white as wall paint standing firmly before his eyes.
"..."
"What's up with today, anyway?"
He pulled the door and closed it again. But unfortunately he had been preceded by the man's feet which made the door instantly motionless.
"Wait.. Let me talk a little..."
As her face was different and not local, the man was Luo Yan. He was a painter who had once served the Zaidan family, yet it had already been 3 years. And that was why Zaidan was shocked when he saw the form of Luo Yan before him that Zaidan should have forgotten.
He hated that guy. Not only did he have a friendly relationship with his mother, but he also disliked the man's irritating face, attitude, and clothes.
"Hissh, here do not accept guests uninvited! Please raise your leg." Zaidan started burning flames of anger.
"Good, fine... But can't we talk about 'this' first, Zaidan?"
He pulled out a hand in his grasp and showed something that had been behind him, fusing with the shadow.
With a lowered state, something clutched his clothes that looked like a form of fear.
Zaidan looked at Nina and Luo Yan alternately. He was puzzled by Nina who had disappeared yesterday and was now with Luo Yan. They should have never met each other before.
"Hey, let go of the woman"
In an instant the look on Luo Yan's face changed into a satisfied smile. "All right, but let me in?"
With a heavy heart, Zaidan agreed to the request on the condition that Luo Yan should let go of Nina's hand.
Seeing the man remove his hand hook from Nina, he could only grumble with a lot of questions that concerned his mind.
"Hmmm. Did you just go to school? If you stay here, you could have been late" Luo Yan now started to big mouth.
"... I think so"
"But it's none of your business."
Despite being the shortest one, it did not make his guts shrink before Luo Yan. And when he glanced at Nina, he immediately took the woman with him, and she followed him away. Zaidan was quite happy with his current victory.
But moving on from that, Luo Yan who saw the departure of Zaidan and the strange figure could only show a sharp and gripping gaze. Not knowing what he was currently thinking, however, even Zaidan did not need to know it either.
It did not feel like the clock was showing at 9, which meant that at this time all the students were taking a break from the lesson hours, and breathing fresh air after focusing on the material.
Back again with Zaidan,
Now she had decided to determine a safe place so that she and the ghost mistress could meet without fear of being seen by her other disciples. That is behind the library building which is usually a storage area.
He knows very well if there are some people who have the advantage of being able to see ghosts at the school, for that, he must work hard so that no one sees him when delivering a ghost mistress, he said, no-no, it means Nina.
"Nina!!"
Zaidan after going to the cafeteria to buy snacks immediately returned to the place where he had left Nina.
The woman immediately felt his arrival and turned her head.
\*hw..
In the dark the place was only a white shirt worn by Nina that seemed to float faintly and not to touch the ground. Seeing the sighting, Zaidan took pains to wet his dry throat.
"You..have waited a very long time huh...?"
"Zaidan's. Sorry.."
"Huh?"
Perplexities.
Zaidan who did not understand what the woman was trying to say with the word "Sorry", only let out a disappointed breath.
\*tap, tap, tap, tap.
Zaidan passed the woman and sat on the sports equipment while lifting the sausage skewer he had bought.
"Why wasn't Nina home yesterday? and, how could Nina be with that guy?" "Is it because I'm not making any progress that Nina wants to find someone else who can help Nina quickly?" zaidan's cheeks flushed. He does not know what else to do if reality is what he thinks.
On the other hand, he did not want to disappoint Nina and her mom who must have put their hopes on him.
"Nina didn't go, really. Is that what Zaidan thought all night..?" her beautiful, low voice made Zaidan's defense collapse. If only he were a human, it would seem that this time would be admired by many people. Even if it could, even a male ghost would be captivated by its truly admirable figure.
"Moma once said that Nina was found around a big tree, and then does the big tree here remind you of a tree you've seen before?"
Nina just kept quiet.
Is it really that difficult to regulate subtle creatures?
Looking at Nina's reaction, surely this would not be easier for her who was just an ordinary student without any advantages. So should he resign and move away from the ghostly issues that he has been collecting?. But, in his little heart he knows, that giving up is not a will, not a will, but a choice exists when the other option pushes it backwards...
