The Ghost Story of LESTARI

The Ghost Story of LESTARI
39. Still Faint For Tomi


Tomi seemed to gasp, but when her eyes blinked, once she looked back across there was no one.


There were only a few people walking as usual back and forth.


Tomi nodded her forehead.


No. gabe...


This can't be allowed. He began to hallucinate the ghost. Believing they had a relationship in the past as Ki Marta says is wrong.


Tomi sighed.


He again sat down at his desk, trying to focus on checking the files of members who applied for loans.


There's nothing like that in this world, there's no such relationship.


The past yes the past, I just happened to be stuck in the middle of them.


Tomi just opened the first file map, when there was an incoming call from Mr. Irfan on his phone.


Tomi immediately grabbed his cellphone, then raised the call of Mr. Irfan.


"Yes sir."


Tom opened the conversation.


"Sir Tomi, I remember now."


Suddenly Mr. Irfan spoke as if there was something important he remembered.


"What's up, sir?"


Ask Tomi.


He thought this time Mr. Irfan would discuss the work at the Cooperative branch office where Tomi took the lead.


"Congratulations."


Mr. Irfan called Lestari.


Tomi gasps.


"The name also has something to do with the story of the owner of the restaurant where we ate yesterday, Tomi sir still remember right? When we just traveled to some Notary place that partners with our office."


Said Mr. Irfan.


"Oh yes sir, I remember."


Said Tomi.


Of course Tomi still remembered because the place to eat was the first place he stopped in this city, not to mention that it had just happened yesterday.


Besides of course because the place and the food is good, where Tomi even wants to invite Nilam to eat there.


"Lestari, supposedly the cause of the murder of the family of the owner of the restaurant, his name is Ki Gedhe Tirtayasa."


Said Mr. Irfan.


"Yes a tragic story that happened at the end of Dutch population in Indonesia."


Continue Mr. Irfan again.


"Sir Irfan knows where?"


Tomi asked, curious.


"I know from Afif, our security guard, just ask him, sir, I used to know that place was from Afif, his grandfather used to live near Ki Gedhe Tirtayasa's storehouse."


Speak Mr. Irfan.


Tomi who seemed to get a bright spot immediately thanked Mr. Irfan, and immediately came out of his study to go down to the first floor looking for Afif.


Afif who was clearly standing guard at the door of the office looked confused as Tomi called out to him.


Afif worried that if he had made a mistake, suddenly called a superior.


"It's important, I want to talk."


Said Tomi while inviting Afif to sit in front of the office near the parking lot.


"What's up, sir?"


Said Tomi.


Afif frowned.


What's the matter?


Why did his boss suddenly ask about the dark story of his Grandfather's old neighbor?


"Tell me now Fif, I can help you get into the office."


The word Tomi makes Afif directly sumringah.


Afif then nodded.


"Good Sir."


Afif.


Then...


"May I smoke Sir? I think this story is a little emotional."


Afif.


Tomi nodded.


Yes let alone smoking, while the somersault is also okay, as long as not while playing the exhaust sound. Inner Tomi.


After finally Afif lit his cigarette and started smoking his cigarette, he began his story.


"There used to be a very rich Landlord, it is said that he was still a distant brother with Ki Gedhe Tirtayasa who owned the store of my grandfather's neighbors. The landlord and also a rich merchant was named Mr. Ageng Parta Prawira. He was very close to the Netherlands, so in a time when many people were difficult at that time, he just lived in luxury."


Afif.


"Literally, he then fell in love with his Dutch best friend's son, named Lestari, because he was still a child could not be married, Lestari was left in the peg Ki Gedhe Tirtayasa, but there Lestari met Damar, and there he was born, the son of Mr. Ageng Parta Prawira himself, the two fell in love with each other."


Afif smokes his cigarettes again.


While Tomi who heard the name Damar somehow became trembling.


"By... Damar said?"


Ask Tomi.


Afif nodded.


"Yes, Damar. He eventually escaped Lestari, and that became the cause of all Ki Gedhe Tirtayasa's family as well as his servants and servants being slaughtered. Fortunately for her youngest daughter when her place in Losari was attacked, she was in the market, she was successfully rushed to Tegal, then hid there until the 1950s just returned to this city."


"What about Damar and Lestari?"


Ask Tomi.


"The story is confusing sir, because they fled, there are stories of Lestari brought by the Japanese army, there are stories of him being killed executioner Mr. Ageng Parta Prawira, there are also those who say suicide."


"Then Damar?"


"Moreover that, I don't know sir, my grandfather only told me about what he knew. Mr. Tomi knows, if the people of the past did not like to talk about things they do not know exactly, different from people now, it is not, hoax news alone could instantly spread and eventually make a big deal."


Afif.


Tomi nodded her head.


Yes, it is true Afif said.


Ah...


Lestari, actually what was the cause of his death until still curious until now?


Where is Damar really?


It turns out that one bright spot only makes the question not directly answered.


Everything remains vague, as Bik Surti tells it.
