Chapter 69 - So You Can See Them (1/2)

As soon as I finished muttering, there was movement from the black shadow in my hand. Turning my head to look at it, I found it started to take a shape.

The black shadow in my hand changed into a cold pale arm with long and slender fingers. If only the nails on those fingers were not freaking long, I would have been jealous to the owner of those beautiful fingers.

As I saw the hair seemed messy, my heart thumped loudly. She wouldn't show me her scary appearance, would she?

She did exactly like what I had been avoiding for.

I took a quick deep breath when I saw her ghastly appearance; it was an ugly black face with a pair of red eyes opened wide.

”Damn!” I cursed as I turned my face not to look at her.

As if her scary face was not enough, she let out a shrill laugh which successfully made me having a bad goosebumps all over my body.

”Damn it! Stop laughing! Don't you know you're ugly?!” I scolded her as I rubbed my arms repeatedly. ”With how you look and how you laugh, do you think Mr. Sanjaya will like you? Dream on! He would never turn to look at you!”

When I heard the laughter stopped, I knew I talked about the right thing. But then, I was stunned when the laughter turned into weeping. I thought that a Kuntilanak's laughter was the scariest, but at this precise time, I changed my mind. Their weeping sound was even scarier!!!

”W-why are you crying?” I stared at the ugly face in front of me in disbelief. I forgot the fear I was feeling when I looked at her face.

”Jane, you cruel!” Kunti said in disappointed tone. ”How could you say that thing so lightly? Even though we are ghost, our hearts are as fragile as human!”

Fragile, my a*s!!!

I really had the urge to curse out loud, but after something reminded me that getting into trouble involving these creatures were worse than with human.

So, I swallowed those words back, hard.

Disguising my irritation by pinching the bridge of my nose, I composed myself and asked Kunti. ”Does she really like Sanjaya?”

”I do! I do, I do, I do!” The other ghost replied, half-screaming her answer with aggrieved tone.

I was taken aback with her enthusiastic yet sad answer. She cried even harder and I was sure I had dumbfounded look on my face. What's with this situation?

Kunti sighed. ”She fell too deep.” She said as she shook her head.

I scratched my not-itchy head as I watched the weeping ghost cried to her heart content. But, I was not really good at consoling others, let alone a ghost, nor I was patient. After several minutes, I turned back and walked away, leaving the still crying ghost. I still had other things to do, I really had no time to console this heartbroken ghost.

Matters that I wanted to ask her before, I pushed that in the back of my head.

”Where are you going?”Kunti floated behind me.

”My class.” I replied without looking at her.

”Oh.” Kunti replied. ”Then, I'm going.”
