"Abbe, it's you who came up with the commotion in this place?" asked the leader, making Abbe instantly shudder and his body instantly tremble.


"Ma. forgive my sassiness, sir. Once again I apologize profusely." said Abbe, full of regret. It was also a pity to see him like that, it seemed like he was indeed frightened by this ghost before him.


"Sir leader, it was actually me who banged on the door. After all, Abbe was terrified as he stood there. I thought I could help him a little by knocking on the door." I explained, making Abbe even more surprised and staring at me unacceptable.


This leader turned his head towards me, having previously focused on Abbe alone. He looked at me from top to bottom, then left a twitch on his forehead.


"Who are you? Just this time I saw him." ideally, did not listen to my explanation earlier.


"I'm an Ancient, now a guest. Want namu, can't you? I'm sorry for the nights, disrupt his sleep." I said, mince words to make this leader laugh.


"Hahaha, human pleasantries?? I haven't heard it in a long time. Have you been dead for two days? Just shake my stomach!" he continued to laugh.


That's what I always hear if Yuk Arsya visits people's homes at night, so. yes I obey those words alone, is it funny for him?


"How many months has it been dead. I was kicked out of my place of death for killing humans, so I came here to ask for a place to stay. Give me one." ask me frankly, as if to make drinking water to the Mother who is at home.


Abbe was surprised to hear my words. "What's? I.. that, that sounds like a noble request to the commoners?" he mumbled in disbelief.


Huh huh? Poor rich, noble commoners! It's so noisy! He did not know, when I was alive this son of the sultan and descendants of nobility.


"Who are you really, is that your habit? But, you're in the wrong place to ask someone higher than you" said the Abbe, causing me to stare at the leader before him.


"Yes, my height is only 149 cm." I said, making him choke on his own saliva.


"I mean the degree, poor!" his reply.


"Surely speaking dong! Your Indonesian is remedial!" reply me again, making the leader in front of us shake their heads.


"Today I saw you talking to other ghosts a lot. Abbe, do you like this kid to be a friend?" asked the leader, making Abbe turn his head and immediately shook his head while bowing his head, like a shy person.


"No! That's because he's so annoying! And again, every ghost I scorn, will hate, hurt, and then stay away from me. But, this brat seems to be used to hearing my babble. Even the chatter is almost like me." said Abbe, making the leader laugh again. He could have likened us both.


"Followed? Just saying that, not feeling at all to the heart." I replied, making these two ghosts look and be surprised.


Of course I wouldn't be hurt by such a word. In fact, during SD, SMP and SMA. such words have not been how much. Added with the mouth of the unclean Ariandi, and also the words of my father when he last killed me. I think all of that stuff makes me numb. Seeming invulnerable to other ghosts, though, because I'm used to listening to worse sentences than that.


"Ti. not feeling?" Abbe.


"Ehem!" the foreign ghost leader sneered, making Abbe aghast in shock while returning slightly subduing his body. "So your name, Ancient. And your coming with Abbe here to see me, and to seek approval to join this group?" he asked again, not intending to invite us in and talk inside. I want to see what's in there.


"Yes, more or less so." I said.


This foreign ghost leader snorted, then broke into laughter while massaging his forehead. "Why do you bother coming here, don't you look like a kuntilanak ghost?" tanyanya, made me stare flat at her.


"I've been there, and they've turned me down. He said, I am a kuntilanak ghost, but I have a different stature. My face is foreign, so they do not want to accept my arrival and suggest to visit this place. Even I was in between Nana here. The Kuntilanak leader said he wanted to run amok if I was there for a long time" I explained, making Abbe and this leader frown.


"It's too bad Farisa told you to go to my place, even without my knowledge. The reason is illogical, you should still insist on living there, right?" he said, but I just stared lazily at him.


It's been refused why insist on living there, like a fool.


"He still refused. He did not accept weak ghosts and also the handsome ones. Hence, he said that I should go to your place."


"What did you say?!" this leader did not seem to like it when he heard it. "So he thinks that my group is weak and looks like capital?" snarl.


"I don't mean to complain, that's the real reason for my refusal. So how, can I stay here?" ask me again. Of course I want certainty, not just inquiring without an answer.


This leader took a long breath. His forehead seemed to be frowning, showing fine lines. He looked back at me from top to bottom, and he did it over and over again.


"Foreign ghosts, not only accept humans who flirt with the capital of bule stature, but they must also be strong and authoritative."


"To be honest, I was so fascinated by your stature and beauty. You're like nobility or blue-blooded humans. You have charming green eyes, which is the hallmark if you're not from a native."


"You have a distinct and distinct hair color. Not blonde, brown or black. Your hair color is white or close to silver."


"For strength, I haven't been able to judge you. But, indeed the first thing to consider when receiving a ghost is..."


"His appearance." he said, made me still silent while digesting the intent of each speech.


Turns out, his long words were just a small talk to reject me??


"You don't dress like us when we die" he said, and I could only frown in confusion.


"Huh?" I sighed, because that was all I could say in response to his words.


"View.. What's Abbe wearing now?" he pointed at the man next to me. "He was wearing a black suit with a white collared shirt. He was wearing complete black shoes, and his hair was well-groomed."


"Then, look how my clothes are." she asked, but I just looked without paying too much attention. "I was wearing a similar suit, with a wavy collar and well-groomed hair. That's what I mean."


"We, this is a different caste, and should not be, a foreign ghost wearing beautiful clothes, handsome face, and residing in the palace, receive a ghost of foreign stature, but with Southeast Asian clothes."


"You, you're too shabby in appearance, and that proves you're not fit to be part of a strange ghost like us." he explained at length, really some kind of nonsense.


I grimaced, a little annoyed by his rejection. "Then what now? I was rejected there because of foreign stature, then I was rejected here because of the appearance of Asian ghosts? So, now I have to live in which cabal?" my protest, made Abbe gasp. Maybe he was surprised why I was so brave to fight and speak out against their leader.


"I don't care about your problems, I only accept ghosts that fit our criteria, and if I don't have any of that, then I can freely reject them. That's my authority." he replied, making me snort miserably.


"okay!! It doesn't matter if you turn me down tonight, but let me spend the night in one place! Tonight alone, after that it's up to you, to throw me out or I don't care." I asked, making this leader again frown.


"Abbe, who actually ordered you to deliver this child to me?" ask the leader.


Abbe scratched his face. "Teacher asked me to do it, Mr. Arnold." said Abbe, making this leader frown even more.


"Brian did it? What was the reason that made him tell this kid to meet me?" tanyanya, looks very curious.


"Perhaps, because I was attacked by the boy." I said, making Abbe glare both eyes at me.


The leader named Arnold glanced, then looked at Abbe who was in front of him. "You attacked another ghost?" tanyanya could not believe it.


"Mom.no, sir. It's just that I was training with Brian's teacher, but he suddenly disappeared and I had trouble finding him. When I flew up to the main door, I accidentally saw a strong white light. I directly attacked him for thinking it was a teacher."


"Then, it turned out that the light could easily avoid an attack that even some ghosts could not escape when they first saw it. But, since this kid can avoid it, that's why I assume that he's a teacher in disguise."


"A fierce fight ensued, until finally the teacher came and said that I was wrongly attacked. That's why I was shocked and explained to the teacher, that this child could dodge my attack with just a single look. It's impossible and annoying, this poor ghost irritates me!" lang Abbe is long, but salut anyway.because he is honest with no story added or less.


"Waaah, amazing!" sahut the leader.


"Amazon." I replied to him, but he seemed to just ignore and pretend not to hear.


"So, this kid is.is strong?" ask the leader, but Abbe neither nodded nor shook his head.


"Looks like you're lucky, I have a reason to keep you in my place." I heaved a sigh of relief hearing him. "But, remember. I've only accepted you for a while. After that, you should be able to convince Farisa, the kuntilanak leader to be able to take you back."


"That's also if you still want to come back after getting a rejection from him" he said.


I frowned and kept my eyes on him. "If I want to stay here forever, is it okay?" I asked, making Mr. Arnold snort and again holding back a laugh.


"Why don't you want to stay with them?"


"Not really. The leader is a woman. I don't like being led by women." I said, making Mr. Arnold raise his eyebrows high, as if surprised to hear my answer.


"Woah!! You have the same thoughts as me. I don't like being enslaved by women either. So, you really want to stay with me?" asked Mr. Arnold, and I nodded to justify his words.


"Good, then.you may remain here, on one condition only you, and I know it." he said, whispering in a clear voice.
