Ria glared at Thomas' last sentence.
What?!
She did catch that right, didn’t she?
“How? Who?” She couldn't decipher her words.
“My grandfather. He was a basketball coach and PE teacher at a high school near our college building. You’ve seen that school right?”
Thomas asked Ria who still looked shocked and also excited to hear this very important information...
"Yes, of course." She answered while nodding.
“That young man used to go to school there and was also one of my grandfather's students, in fact he was the captain for their team. Grandfather said that he was a smart one and had many achievements in basketball…' Thomas explained.
"Wait a minute. Thomas Gerald… So, your grandfather was John Gerald? Mr. Gerald?" Asked Ria who had just realized th
Ria then took a sip of the drink in her hand and looked towards the courtyard beside the Hall."I don't want to come home too late. So, you can enjoy the party. I want to go home…" Ria smiled a little at Hans who still looked at her with that stupid smile."I'll ride you home..." Hans said quickly, who immediately followed Ria who already took her step away.She didn't answer him. She got even more irritated.They passed a group of people who were dancing and Ria brushed aside Hans' hand several times who was trying to pull her in the middle of the crowd."Ria.. Wait!" Hans tried to reach the her hand, with his head getting dizzy and his vision getting blurry.Ria didn't budge and kept walking towards the exit.She had been trying to find a way out of the side hall but found she still had to get out of one of the doors at the front
Ria told him everything that happened in the event.He nodded along with her words that came to his ears. His hands clenched in anger.Yes. He was angry.He was angry because someone disturbed this girl. Someone was trying to harass his friend."Next time, if I run into him, I'll scare him till he pisses himself." Kevin again nodded in agreement with the brilliant plan he made himself."Don't. Don't make contact with anyone for now..” Ria shook her head."Why?" Kevin asked confused. He could easily scare others without being seen aka poltergeist."Because we, especially you, have a task that must be completed." Ria answered emphatically.“If someone else like Loren suspected that you were still around and still haunting this house. She will definitely trouble us by causing more drama. I don't want to deal
Ria lay down on her bed and tried to sleep.The clock showed it was almost dawn but her eyes still couldn't close.She was still awake with the scene replaying in her head.Why was she silent when a man was touching her?!Not only was it the opposite sex, but that man wasn't human either!He's a ghost!.Ria rolled over and hugged her face with a pillow.She couldn't help but blush and blush.Gosh what was that?**She woke up at noon with a throbbing head.ugh! This is what happens if you don't sleep until 5 am. She groans, opened her eyes and immediately got out of bed.Glancing around, she didn't see Kevin anywhere.Maybe he's downstairs, she thought.Right. She promised to take
Ria covered her mouth in disbelief.“Turned out, I am not his son…” Kevin's tone trembled."I am the child of my mother's affair with those men. That woman doesn't even know who my biological father is.I felt so humiliated and sad. All this time, he the one who I thought was my father. He really cared for and loved me like his own son. He is willing to work hard to support his impudent wife and a son from his wife's affair….Ironically, my father knew from the start that I was not his son. When we had time to chat alone back then, he told me everything…”Ria saw Kevin's face which looked flat, but she could see the tears coming out of his eyes.He cried. This ghost was crying and Ria became very sad to hear his story.“In the end, dad decided to divorce he and the court gav
"Hey everyone, it's Ria. She's my friend that grandpa is waiting for." Thomas introduced Ria to his unknown number of relatives.Meanwhile, Ria just smiled awkwardly and bowed her head politely.They all, without exception, greeted and welcomed Ria warmly."Okay, come with me." Thomas motioned for her to follow him to another room.Ria nodded and followed him,The house was definitely a house with the same design as Kevin’s. It's just bigger and has a lot of spacious room.Obviously the home of large families."Ria, as I explained on the phone to you this afternoon. Grandpa is sick. I mean really sick, our family got together because of his declining condition and he also asked us all to see him before he take his last breath.” Thomas said sadly."I'm glad you came, because when I told him about my friend
Ria decided to go back home, after saying goodbye to everyone who was at Thomas' house that night.They all shook hands with her and greeted her kindly.Thomas’ mother was so happy that this time her son brought a friend, a beautiful one, to visit them.They all asked Thomas to take the beautiful girl home because it was already late.Thomas didn't mind and immediately took the car keys while Ria, who felt bad for bothering him, tried to politely refuse.“We are the ones who have troubled you, we are very grateful that you have visited our father. He has felt guilty all his life and now I hope he is relieved..” His mother said softly to Ria.Rias nodded. She, well, both of her and Kevin also got another important information. So, this did not only benefit one party.“Besides, letting a girl go home alone at this ti
Apparently, Ria's attitude changed when they got home.The two of them didn't speak to each other and enjoyed their dinner with glum faces.Kevin, who had been looking at the food in front of him, now realized their silence without his own chatter or even hers."Are you alright?" Kevin asked her after he looked up and saw the girl's gloomy face.“Not really…” Ria answered while shaking her head."Why? Did something happen that make you uncomfortable?" He asked again.For a moment, she was surprised by her own answer.This was the first time she had honestly answered her condition with another person.Ria never admits whenever she is not okay.Because other than her parents. No one was willing to treat her well unless they had some intention.Kevin was the fi
The next day, Ria and Kevin were looking at the little brown covered note and writing down the information they found about Mr. Gerald yesterday.Ria had just returned from college and it was still not too dark.Last night she had forgotten to record their findings and the information they had gotten from the coach.She was very excited, to the extent that she didn't take a shower and changed her clothes first and immediately asked Kevin to fill out their little book.The two of them lay face down on the bed, facing each other closely and staring at the small sheet in front of them."So basically coach didn't know anything about what happened at that time." Kevin nods.“Yes. From what we've heard and seen, I don't think the culprit is Mr. Gerald. Because the photo taken at that time you were still sitting on the couch. It's impossible he changed your po
