Chereads / Tale of The Sad Ghost (English Version) / Chapter 18 - Kirana's Friend

Chapter 18 - Kirana's Friend

Kirana felt lonely because there was no Tama who she used to scold all day because of his actions that always made Kirana feel annoyed. Kirana drank a cup of tea and sat by the pool looking at the moon.

"Soon will be the full moon"

Kirana saw Denok and Limbur being noisy while chasing each other. They look very familiar. And Kirana began to feel lonely.

"It sucks, looks like I have to find a friend," said Kirana.

Kirana suddenly crossed her mind to look for Devan. If at this time Tama went to see Nadia, surely Devan would be alone too. Finally, Kirana decided to go to Devan's house. When she arrives there, Devan's house looks deserted. It seemed like no one was there. A female ghost tells Kirana that Devan hasn't back home from his office yet.

Kirana goes to Devan's office. Arriving at Devan's office, Kirana waits for Devan in the Lobby. While Kirana was waiting, Devan's Boss whose face was similar to General John Willem's, passed in front of Kirana. But unfortunately, Kirana did not pay attention to it.

"Mr. Erick, there is a package for you", said the receptionist.

"Thank You"

Kirana turned her head, but she only saw Erick's back. After taking the package, Erick immediately rushed out to the parking lot.

Not long after, Devan appeared in the lobby. He was surprised to see Kirana there.

"Pri... Princess.. what's going on here?" he asked.

"I want to treat you to a meal"

"Wow, I'm so happy, I'm really hungry," said Devan, holding his belly.

"Well, please show me a good restaurant near here!"

"Okay ready"

Kirana and Devan walk together and leave the office. Erick just got out of the building parking lot while driving his car. He saw Devan walking with Kirana.

"I think that is Devan, a new employee. Wow, his girlfriend is so romantic, she gets picked up her boyfriend"

Erick smiled while shaking his head in amazement to see Devan who was picked up by Kirana on his first day of work. Erick had misunderstood because he thought that Devan was Kirana's lover.

In Jakarta, Tama and Nadia go to dinner at a roadside tent stall. They both ordered fried catfish, and today Tama treats Nadia as an apology to Nadia, for ignoring her for so long.

"Are you okay? Frankly, I'm really worried that I don't sleep well because I'm afraid you'll break up with me", asked Tama.

"No, lah... Before I act, I also have to hear your explanation and this is already clear, right, because you are busy at work" replied Nadia.

"Thanks, oh yes can I have your cellphone number?"

"This is my business card, oh where is your business card?"

"Oh, I missed it, I was in a hurry, I forgot to bring my cellphone".

Tama lied to Nadia because he didn't have a cellphone. Since he lives in a villa under the lake, things like cell phones can be damaged immediately. Tama has to figure out how to get a cellphone that has magic power, which will be water-resistant for 1 month because the Villa will surface every full moon.

Nadia wanted to talk about the offer to move to Korea with Tama. But seeing as their relationship had just returned to normal, making it impossible for Nadia to negotiate with Tama, she thought that Tama's answer was to ask her to stay. This time, Nadia will save it first and she will discuss it with Tama in the future.

Their food has arrived. The restaurant waiter placed the food ordered by Tama and Nadia on the table they were sitting on. They both eat voraciously while chatting.

Unlike Tama and Nadia, who chose to eat at the fried catfish in a tented stall on the side of the road. Kirana and Devan went to a fancy restaurant in the BSD area. They went by train to the BSD area. BSD is a luxury area in Banten Province.

"Ugh, this is the furthest dinner in my life," said Devan.

"Really? it was you who recommended it earlier" said Kirana.

"Yeah, but the train was really fast, wasn't it?"

"Hey, you forgot who I am? With my pretty hands, even I can speed up the train"

"Wow, that's fun."

The atmosphere in the restaurant was very busy at night. The lights that adorn the restaurant look very bright and beautiful. Kirana invites Devan to order the most expensive food. Devan was happy tonight.

A few minutes after they ordered food, Ara entered the restaurant alone. Devan saw her and wanted to greet her, but he was worried that Kirana would feel displeased because on that day Devan only accompanied Kirana who was feeling bored.

"Hey you, what are you looking at?" asked Kirana.

"it looks like Ara is sitting alone", Devan pointed at Ara.

"Call her quickly", Kirana ordered.

"oh.. ok"

Devan immediately walked quickly towards Ara. He invited Ara to move to his table with Kirana. Since Ara came alone, she agreed to Devan's invitation.

"Princess, how are you?" asked Ara.

"Ah, you don't have to be so formal" said Kirana.

Kirana asks Ara and Devan to relax with Kirana because Kirana wants to be Ara and Devan's, friends.

"Just call me Kirana, you're not my maid after all" whispered Kirana.

"Oh that's right" said Devan.

The food for them had arrived. They also eat together while chatting. In addition, Kirana asked Devan and Ara for help to become the committee for the event that Kirana would make. Kirana will rent a hall, and the hall will be arranged like a magic hall consisting of various kinds of magic performances.

"Wow, that's cool, just like in fantasy films" said Ara.

"Yeah right, if this event is a success I will pay you dearly"

"Wow,, we will do it well", said Devan.

Not realizing it was getting late, Tama took Nadia back to her house. Then he said goodbye to Nadia. Because next week is a full moon, Tama promises to go see Nadia in the morning. Nadia was happy to hear that.

After traveling by air for an hour. Tama arrived at Villa.

"Oh, it turns out that flying makes me so tired, I should have borrowed the princess's carriage."

Tama entered the Villa and turned to Kirana's room which was so quiet.

"Looks like she's not inside".

Tama goes to the Security Post to meet Limbur, and asks where Kirana is going. Limbur says Kirana didn't tell him.

"But earlier she was very beautiful, it looks like she went on a date" said Limbur.

"Huh, with who?" asked Tama.

"Hmm... I don't know."

"Okay, I'll wait for her by the lake"

Tama is walking away from Limbur, meanwhile, Limbur is just as happy as he is when he sees Tama's panic after hearing Limbur's words about Kirana.

"Huuuu,, jealous yeee" whispered Limbur.

Meanwhile, Kirana and Devan went to take Ara first to her house. After that, Devan went to take Kirana to the shore of the lake.

Footsteps could be heard from a distance. Tama can't wait to catch Kirana red-handed. His heart was beating fast because he wondered who is this man was. As they got closer the moonlight reflected its rays on Kirana and Devan's faces. Tama was surprised.

"Dev...Dev...Devan... you????"

"Hey bro,"

"This...isn't it wrong?"

Tama still couldn't believe what he saw. Tama opened his eyes wide.

"Kirana, then I'll say goodbye first" said Devan.

"Yes, be careful on the road yes"

"Kirana?"

Tama was even more surprised to hear Devan calling Kirana by her name directly. It looks like they are very close. After Devan left, Kirana left Tama who was still shocked by what he has just seen.

"Is this a dream? why princess with Devan?"
