Ghost or Wind?

"To Bali? Bali's? You're asking us to go to Bali?" ask Kamal to his wife who suddenly wants to take a vacation.
"We haven't had a vacation since we married Kamal. Can it? I want healing ..." Pinta Reema with a hopeful face. I should've gotten this Emmy Award or this Oscar.
"Let me see the schedule of work first, your schedule as well. If it's suitable, we go to Bali" Kamal broke up.
"Thank you" Reema smiled as she kissed Kamal's cheek.
I finally got to Bali ! Damian, wait for me !

Once again Damian felt a chill down his neck and turned towards the open window of Izzy's flat.
"I'm bruised by the autumn wind" Damian murmured as he turned his steppe.
"Why are you, Dam?" ask Izzy who went up to the second floor to pick up the plates and glasses.
"Izzy, your house has no ghosts, right?" Damian looked at Izzy seriously.
The girl was just dumbfounded at hearing Damian's question. "ghosts? Damian, I've been living here for almost three years, never bothered by ghosts... Did you see the apparition?"
"Actually no, it's just my neck like there's a cold coming on..."
"Body... Are you afraid of ghosts?" Izzy's brown eyes narrowed with a probing look into Damian's green eyes.
"No, it's just said my aunt who is a hobby of looking for ghosts..."
"Your tanten is a ghost-seeking hobby?" cut Izzy. "Seriously?"
"Seriously Izzy .." said Damian, putting four pieces of steak on a plate. Izzy then added steamed vegetables and mashed potatoes and gravy mushroom was not left behind.
"What's your word?"
"Say, if your nape is cold, there are astral beings around you."
Izzy shook his head. "Him, do you think that there could be someone who is insinuating you? Maybe your mom or your dad missed you?" Izzy said as he brought two dishes containing their lunch and followed by Damian who also brought two plates, down the stairs of Izzy's house.
"Mommy and Daddy I called this morning and we used to communicate every other day, Izzy."
"Lho knows" Izzy replied with a smile and walked towards the table that Betty and Dahir had cleared.
"What's wrong?" betty asked to see the couple seem to be arguing.
"I'll get you a drink" Dahir said as he headed to the second floor to fetch four bottles of mineral water.
"Here you know, felt a chill behind her neck and asked if there was a ghost here." Izzy's smile made Betty gawk.
"ghosts? In this broad daylight? Mr. Azzam, Izzy who lived here a long time never told me about ghosts. Or the... The occupants don't like Mr Azzam?" betty Goda.
"Seriously Betty, why are you trying now?" reply Damian.
"Maybe just realized if you don't like it" Betty replied as she flicked her shoulders making Izzy giggle.
"If I think my master, there is someone talking about you" said Dahir.
"Why call my master back?" ask Betty.
"Sorry Blondie, habit.." Smile Dahir.
"Who's talking about me?" damian muttered.
"Maybe Jack. Because yesterday he was fishing a lot and definitely show off to his friends" Betty chirped.
The four of them are now sitting at a work table that is transformed into a dining table.
"It could be Dam. How much did Jack get?" Izzy looked at Betty.
"Can ten. Record !"
Damian nodded. Might as well.

A week later Damian and Izzy were shocked to see someone familiar coming to Izzy's shop.
"Sister Hunter?"
"Hunter?"
"Hello Izzy's. Hi Damian. Surprised?" hunter's smile made the two people there could only stare and gawk.
Izzy rushed straight at his only brother and Hunter hugged him tightly and kissed his sister on the forehead.
"You're healthy, Izzy.. Wait for. How are you fat?" Hunter looked at his sister with a laughing face.
"Where not fat brother, Dami cook for us every day and delicious all" kekeh Izzy.
Hunter then approached Damian. "Dam, how are you?"
Damian immediately hugged Hunter and patted the back of the man much older than him. "Thank God be good, Hunter."
"Let's sit down, brother." Izzy held the free hand of Hunter while one dragged his suitcase.
Damian followed the two brothers to sit at the desk.
"Lho?! Betty where?" ask Hunter who dreary looking for Izzy's best friend.
"Deliver the goods with Dahir, my bodyguard" Damian replied.
"Born and Betty...?" Hunter stared at Damian and Izzy alternately.
"Sort of me and Damian" Izzy smiled as he looked at Damian gently and the man replied to him with a friendly look.
"Damian, you and Izzy..."
"Serious Hunter" Damian answered quickly.
"Related?"
"God be sure."
"Izzy, are you mentally prepared with Damian? I mean there's a lot of things you should pay attention to and consider." Hunter stared softly at his sister.
"May you be ready, brother Hunter. Betty and I are also studying little by little especially he said Dahir would move here if it was official with Betty." replied Izzy as it is.
"To be honest, I'm kind of surprised you guys have a relationship. It's nothing Dam but you know for yourself Izzy's condition. What do Mr Direndra and Mrs Raana say?" said Hunter.
"Mommy and Daddy already know Izzy's condition but have never made a video call because Izzy is not ready. But God willing soon I will introduce to mommy and Daddy" Damian replied as he was.
Hunter saw how Damian and Izzy spoke. They have the same feeling but smooth is not the kind of Omar and Nadya who often messed up without seeing a place.
Hunter and Doogie knew how the couple was and until now the pair of FBI agents and lawyers were still pregnant let alone looking forward to the birth of the first child known as a boy.
"Hopefully your relationship is smooth and honest, Izzy, I am grateful that the man who loves you is already a big brother knows his football. Damian is Izzy's good guy and he's very gentleman" Hunter smiled.
"Thanks Hunter" Damian said sincerely.
"Hey, quoting Bayu's words 'When will I be Emir of Dubai's sister-in-law' ?" kekeh Hunter's.
Izzy laughed while embracing Damian's arm.
