NOT PERPETRATORS
Ghosts in My House

When my index finger almost touched the writing 'answer' on the phone screen, suddenly a black car stopped on the page. Mas Bastian got out, got out of the car. And I saw the eagle doctor still sitting in the cabin.

Mas Bastian came to me. The phone still sounds.

"Mas, your phone is left behind. This-" I haven't finished talking yet, Mas Bastian snatched the phone out of my hand violently.

Mas Bastian turned off his phone, so the ring stopped. Then I looked at me with anger. "Who allowed you to tamper with my phone?"

"So this phone is lying in-"

"Shut up! It's mobile! Contains an important call! Did you lift it?"

Just this time I saw my husband this angry. "Mas, I didn't pick it up. Right now-"

Mas Bastian glared sharply at me. "Next time, don't do this again!"

I'm down. I feel like something hit my chest. It's just a trivial matter. Why is Bastian angry? I haven't picked up that phone yet. Why is my husband so angry? What wrong.

My eyes were fixed on the figure in the car. The eagle doctor watched us who were at odds. Mas Bastian seemed to realize that. Bastian then hugged me. Kissing my forehead, saying, "I'm sorry, Mom, huh? I shouldn't have yelled at you. It's just a regular call. I shouldn't be this emotional. I'm just. .. worried there's an important call about my job."

I immediately hid my tears into Bastian's chest.

"I've been tired lately. So I'm a little stressed. Again, I'm sorry my wife dear."

I'm nodding. Mas Bastian was ready to go to work. I kissed the back of his hand.

This afternoon, I'm still at the in-laws' house. Mas Bastian asked me to wait for him. He said he would bring his new car here. So, I was told to stand by at the house of in-laws with Arka.

And sure enough, a black car appeared in the courtyard of the house-in-law. The new-looking black car was parked in front of the house. We immediately welcomed him. Bastian got out of the car.

Mom and Dad welcomed Bastian. More precisely, welcome the black car. Unexpectedly, someone very annoying came down from the car. Instantly remove the smile on my face that was expanding.

Mas Bastian told the truth about the car. That eagle doctor was the one who helped him get the car. Suddenly, father and mother thanked the eagle doctor.

Although I am still amazed at Bastian. In fact, without having to include the eagle doctor, and without having to be helped, we can still buy a car. Yes, although simple, the important thing is that we are not troublesome and do not need to reciprocate to others, right? My husband always thinks twice about opportunities and saves.

After introducing his best friend, mas Bastian also invited me and Arka to go home. I sat in the back with Arka. Arka who is two years old, is good at talking, very happy to ride his car. Yes, this car is very comfortable. Although not as luxurious as the eagle doctor. However, it is quite comfortable and nice.

I don't know what the eagle doctor was thinking. He kept looking at me from the middle of the car. Makes me comfortable, very uncomfortable. Sometimes he blinked his eyes, teasing me through the middle view of the cabin.

I shuddered, throwing my face away. Turn away from his sight. In my eyes, this eagle doctor is getting more and more annoying. Why is he following us? Really shameless! Though obviously I am not happy for its existence which always looks for opportunities in narrowness. I am so upset about it.

We got home. Me and Arka went down. Followed by the eagle doctor and Bastian mas. I did not have time to ask Bastian mas, about the intention of the doctor was to follow Bastian mas. Isn't that not important? It sucks!

"Darling ... make coffee for me and Dimas, huh?" bastian's orders, when we entered the house.

"Yes, honey," I replied with a smile.

I brought Arka to the room. Arka said she was very sleepy, because she did not take a nap at her grandmother's house.

"Darling, wait a minute, okay? Mama made some coffee for Papa. You wait here for a minute" I said.

Arka just nodded, then laid her body on the bed.

I immediately stepped into the kitchen. I made two cups of coffee. Then I'll take you to the living room.

I tried to be friendly with the hawk doctor, so that my husband would not be disappointed. "Please, coffee."

"Thank you" said the doctor.

"Honey, Dimas will take a short break here. Nessa's gonna pick him up" said Bastian.

"Yes, honey." I nodded while smiling.

Rest here? Until Nessa picks him up? Till when? Oh .. hopefully not for long.

I went back to the room. I saw Arka was asleep. I stroked the top of Arka's head, she must be very tired. Kissed forehead. Arka has indeed been separated from ASI. So, usually enough I massage her to fall asleep. Sometimes Arka sleeps by itself.

Time has shown at seven o'clock in the evening. The voices of the two men were still heard from the room. I lay my body to the bed. He hoped that the eagle doctor would come home soon.

I'm sleepy. My eyes are starting to get hard not to shut. In the drowsiness, there was the sound of footsteps leading to the room. The moment my sleepiness disappeared. Suddenly, he was shocked when someone came to open the door. I stood up straight from the bed. With eyes that are open wide. This self feels anxious.

Crews!

"Mas Bastian!"

"Yes, it's me. Who else, if not?"

"Why are you surprised?" Mas Bastian looked at me confusedly, looking at my nervous facial expression.

"Ah, I-I'm just a little sleepy. I thought you were going. So I'm shocked." I don't know what I said. That's just spontaneous.

"Yes, I'm going to go."

Starting to be relieved, hearing Bastian mas will go. Maybe we'll take the hawk doctor home.

"Ah, good."

Mas Bastian raised both eyebrows. "Well, how good is that?"

"Yes, I mean, good too. Then I can rest now. I'm so fucking sleepy."

Bastian smiled at me. He picked up his jacket and sprayed perfume on his body.

Mas Bastian kissed my forehead. "Get out a minute!"

I followed him to the living room. I saw the hawk doctor coming up from the couch.

"Bas, let me wait for Nessa outside. It's not good to be inside, without you. Afraid of causing slander" said the hawk doctor.

"alright. I'll go first, yeah."

"Mas!" my sergeant. "You're not going to take him home?"

"There's an important business. I have to go now, honey."

I smiled wryly, a little disappointed. I thought the doctor was really quick.

"I'm saying goodbye, baby." While kissing my forehead.

I'm nodding.

"You're seriously gonna wait here? Don't want to be together?" ask Bastian to his best friend.

The eagle doctor sat his body on the porch chair. "Nessa says, we'll be here soon" she said.

"alright. Then I'll go first, Di."

"You look really rushed, Bas!"

"This .. he's been waiting for me. Client, it's normal, Di!"

"Okay, careful, Bas!"

Mas Bastian got into his new car. I immediately went into the house. I locked the door tight. Leaving the doctor alone on the porch.

I rushed to the room. I locked the room door too. I breathe a sigh of relief. Lying body. My life never calms down if it's her. How annoying!

After about an hour, I got out of bed. The drowsiness that was once whack is slowly gone. I wonder if the doctor has left? There was no sound of a car entering the yard. Or maybe I didn't hear.

I went to the living room. Uncovers the window curtains, to make sure the doctor has left. And .. right. Unseen stem of his nose on the terrace. It looks like the doctor has gone. Mercifully.

While I was still peeking out the window, there was something behind me. Fear suddenly came. My hair is goosebumps. I wanted to turn around, see what was behind me, but I was scared. Someone blew my nape. I turned my body, there was no one. I ran into the room.

My heart is beating so fast. There was no one in this house, except me, and Arka was still fast asleep. I immediately covered my entire body with a blanket, covering my face. My hair is still goosebumps. I held my breath when I heard a strange sound. My breath was restrained, the strange sound was getting closer. Cold sweat began to pour all over my body wrapped in a blanket.

Suddenly someone touched my feet. I'm getting freaked out.

"Don't bother me!" I cried at the invisible figure.

The strange sound was getting louder. It's hideous! I think I'm gonna faint. So scared!

"Grb? Krr? Shh?"

"Go!" my yelling.

I slowly opened the blanket that covered my face. There's no one. However, my bedroom curtains seemed to be moving. I immediately covered my face with a blanket.

Something touched my leg again. This time my feet were blocked.

"Ghost!" I screamed as I took my foot off the figure.

The invisible figure also let go of my legs, but suddenly the figure hugged my body which was still wrapped in a blanket. When I'm gonna scream. Suddenly the blanket on my face was exposed. This lip was silent, because something soft managed to lock my lips.

How surprised this is. Seeing a more terrifying figure than a ghost. He hugged this body, and locked these lips on his lips. My heart that like to be dislodged, changed the rhythm to irregular. My eyes did not stop looking at him. Withstand any sense that almost exploded. Between fear, shock, anger, or .. nervous, because it is not a ghostly figure. Except the ghostly figure.
