Chapter 7: The Story with Ghosts
“You have nothing to fear, I will not turn into a kuntilanak or sundel bolong. I am a ghost who is cursed to be beautiful and can act like a human at midnight. My story is almost the same as Cinderella?”
Alan just smiled. He felt that the ghost could read his mind. Although not too believe in the presence of ghosts, if you see ghosts directly may still make him afraid.
“Then, what's your name before you die?” ask Alan. Before death, ghosts have life
and the name that was carried from birth to death.
“Ah, name, yes ...” Irene had yet to think of a name for her ghost version. He did not expect his acting to increase in character. If the acting morning becomes an ugly woman, the night she becomes a beautiful ghost. Maybe if pursued busy acting will be equivalent to Raffi Ahmad, the famous artist. “Call me Miss A.” Irene just gave
a nickname for himself.
“What a great nickname. Is A an extension of Atun? Maybe you used to call Jeng Atun,”
Irene screeches. “Enak only! I'm a modern ghost of his day. My name is Alenta, the favorite daughter of the governor-general of VOC.” Irene just spoke up to adjust her physical
there is still a little Dutch blood.
“Why did you kill yourself? Aren't you pretty and from a rich family?”
“Customs, problems especially those that can make young people can do stupid if not for love affairs. I like foster children in the area, but not approved by parents. Hence suicide.”
“Ah, yes. It turns out you are indeed very stupid,” sneer Alan.
Irene smiled to herself with her story. She is talented to be an actress and screenwriter. Alan can get carried away with his story.
“Do you like peeping people sleep?”
Alan frowned getting such a question from Miss A.
“The waiters often discuss about it. He said the first son of the Narendra family liked it
peeking at sleeping women.” Irene just assumed with the warning Beki had uttered. He wanted to know if Alan would answer honestly or dodge him.
Alan's face changed. It was a bit awkward to answer that. “I do have a habit of seeing new people in a sleeping condition. It might sound weird. But, I
can judge a person in the house by the way he sleeps. I didn't expect any servants to catch my habit until such news circulated.” Alan held his nose to reduce nervousness. Frankly, he was embarrassed to tell something that no one should know about.
Irene understood the reason Alan could see himself with his original appearance in the room. It turns out that the first night he was in the house, Alan secretly visited his room. Fortunately Alan believed she was a ghost, not Irene the ugly woman he was being betrothed to.
“Why did you sleep in Irene's room that night?” ask Alan.
“I like to sleep everywhere. It could have been tonight I slept here, in the waiter's room, or in the living room.” Irene showed the image as a free ghost who could live anywhere, because the mansion was her domain.
“Why not try sleeping in my room?”
Irene was stunned by Alan's question. “I'm afraid I'll be raped by you.”
“Hahaha ..” Alan laughed out loud until he had to hold his stomach because of pain. “What if I rape? Aren't you dead? Just found out there are types of ghosts who are afraid to lose their chastity.”
“Oh, of course .. I am indeed a beautiful ghost who died keeping his chastity. No one can desecrate my chastity even though I am dead.”
Just this time Alan felt like he had an exciting interlocutor. Unfortunately, his interlocutor turned out not to be a human, but a ghost.
“What do you think of that ugly woman?” ask Irene.
“Augly woman?” Alan didn't understand Irene's direction.
“Ah, Irene ..” muttered Alan.
“Iya. I'm surprised your grandfather was able to put a woman like that into this house. If she's as pretty as me, it might not be too embarrassing. You five handsome young masters, time told side by side with such ugly women.”
“Hahaha ... as a fellow woman, your words are very cruel. Moreover, you are only a ghost.”
“I'm a classy ghost.” Irene bragged.
Alan could only shake his head with the rancid ghostly manner. Had Miss A been alive, she would have been a fun woman. There are rarely women
connect when spoken to by him. Most women who approach him only
oriented to his treasure.
“So, what do you think of Irene?”
“I don't know. I'm not interested in him. I'm just following what grandfather told me.”
“What will your grandfather do if you don't want to obey his will?”
“You are a ghost, you should know everything.”
Irene felt bullied. “Yeah, not really. As a ghost, I just stole the information
from people. If they talk while I'm sleeping, of course I don't know.”
“Newly know that ghosts need sleep.” Alan was unceasingly laughing with the clumsiness that Miss A said.
“The name is also a cursed ghost.”
“My grandfather threatened to impoverish us. Isn't the threat of poverty very scary?” chirps Alan.
Irene felt they were fateful. “Yes, you are right. Poverty is more frightening than ghosts.
You should just obey. I'm sorry if one of you guys ever made a match with that ugly woman.”
“Not that hard either. We can marry that woman just a condition from grandfather. If you want to keep having another woman, stay married secretly.”
Irene rolled her eyes lazily. Apparently, Alan has bad intentions if later mate
with him. However, Irene could not completely blame Alan. He did not want that match either. If Irene had another man, she would probably cheat after marriage.
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
“Already,” reply alan briefly.
A well-established and handsome man like Alan is unlikely to still be single, except with Alex who is still at home when he is also handsome and rich. He even has
a beautiful friend but not a girlfriend. According to Irene, Alex's coma is a phenomenon of Divine mystery that is difficult to solve.
“Your boyfriend must be very beautiful.”
Alan remained silent. She has a boyfriend who works as a model. Of course she's very pretty. However, his behavior that likes to get drunk and make fun of that he does not really like. Alan actually wanted to break up with her. But she always had a way of feeling sorry for him and not breaking up with him.
