Rio gulped his own spit. He knew that the voice was not his mother's voice. And he also knew that there was only himself in the house. Then, who is the owner of the voice calling his name? That's the question.

Not long after that, bad luck returned to him. The house lights suddenly went out. His body was shaking more and more. It feels like all this has something to do with supernatural beings. At least that's what he thought at the moment.

His hands were already shaking and he couldn't turn on the flash of his phone quickly. Several times he pressed the wrong button. As a result, he decided to get up from his seat and intend to get out of his house as soon as possible. Something is wrong with the house.

However, the pitch darkness made it difficult for him to walk. As a result, he also tried to flash his cellphone again. However, something happened when the light from her cell phone turned on.

"Haaaa! Ghost!" shouted Rio.

In front of him, the figure of a woman with a face full of blood was grinning. The scary face was clearly visible in his eyes because of the light from his cell phone. He ran to nowhere to go. The point is he has to run. That's what he thought.

 ***

 "Shit! If I wait, the ghost doesn't even come. If I don't wait, the ghost is coming. Just watch out! If the ghost appears, I will beat her," said Thomas.

After waiting for so long, it turns out that what he was waiting for never arrived. The ghost seemed reluctant to appear. It was as if she already knew that Thomas had been waiting for her presence. However, Thomas still needs to be doubted. If the ghost appeared in front of him, it is not certain that he will still be a brave man. He might suddenly become cowardly.

Tok! Tok! Tok!

"Thomas!"

In his very upset state, he heard a very loud banging on the door and was accompanied by a voice calling his name.

"Rio," he said.

Yes, he knew that the owner of that voice was Rio. He wanted to immediately run towards the front door to open the door. However, just one step, he immediately remembered the incident last night. An incident where the ghost disguised herself as Rio.

 "Heh, the technique is stale, it's still being used," said Thomas, clenching his fists.

 "How dare she twice impersonate my best friend," he continued.

He doesn't care anymore. Even if it's about fear. Without thinking, he headed for the front door. The door was still pounding and accompanied by a voice calling his name.

 Thomas immediately opened the door of his house. Worse, without further ado he immediately moved his feet to give a kick to the figure that was pounding on the door of his house.

 "Ouch!" he groaned.

 Even Thomas laughed. Even though he knew the figure he kicked until he fell down was in the form of Rio, his best friend. He seemed satisfied when he could do it.

 "Thomas, what are you doing?"

 "Ha?"

 Hearing those words, Thomas was slightly surprised. He stopped his laughter and glanced carefully at Rio. He stared at his friend's body. After that, for some reason he even pointed at Rio.

 "You ..." He hung up his words.

 "It's me, Rio. Who do you think?" said Rio while getting up.

 Rio approached, but Thomas instead stepped back. He couldn't fully believe that it was actually Rio. Maybe from his form, the person in front of him was indeed Rio. But he didn't know if it was actually a ghost in disguise or maybe the real Rio.

 "Thomas, I'll just stay at your house later. There's a ghost in my house," said Rio while showing his panicked face.

 "Ghost?"

 "Yeah. Looks like it's the same ghost as you told me earlier at school," said Rio.

 Then what did Thomas do? He finally realized that the person in front of him was indeed the real Rio, not a ghost or anything like that.

 "Come in!" said Thomas.

 Without saying much more, Rio immediately entered Thomas's house. Her frightened face was clear in Thomas's eyes. Even Thomas could also see that there were a few tears coming from Rio's eyes. Perhaps because of mutual fear that he did not realize that he had shed tears.

 Thomas locked the door of his house. He then asked her to sit on the chair in the living room.

 "What has happened?" he asked.

 "Huh, just a moment. I need water," said Rio.

 Thomas clicked. He certainly knew what Rio meant. LHowever, a guest must be respected. He immediately got up from his seat to get some drinking water which was not too far from where he was now. After taking it, he gave it to Rio.

"Drink! After that tell me everything!" said Thomas.

 Rio complied. Seeing this, Thomas was finally fully convinced that the man he was currently with was really Rio, his best friend. Not a ghost in disguise.

 "Before I tell you, I want to ask. Why did you attack me?" he asked. Thomas just chuckled while scratching his head. But not long after, that, he answered.

 "Sorry. I thought it was a ghost. That's why I immediately attacked it. Last night that ghost also disguised itself as you. That's why I now think that you are a ghost in disguise," said Thomas.

 "Crazy! You think it doesn't hurt?"

 "Hahaha ... Yes sorry."

 "Hmm ... Okay, forget it! I want to tell you a story," said Rio. Thomas nodded.

 "The ghost came to me. How could he know that I was alone at home. His face was scary. I almost fainted. Luckily I was able to run here," said Rio.

 "Wait a minute! You ran here and left your house empty and nobody?" he asked.

 "Yes."

 Thomas smacked himself on the forehead. He cursed what his friend had done.

 "Hm ... It's better for you to go home than to have a thief enter your house," said Thomas.

 "Are you crazy? Returning home is tantamount to surrendering to that ghost. I don't dare," said Rio.

 "Heh. You very weak."

 "Or just like this. Tonight you stay at my house. The thing is I also don't know when my parents and brother will come home. Instead of burglars entering my house, it's better for you to accompany me at home. If it's the two of us, maybe the ghost won't dare to come," said Rio.

 Thomas thought for a moment. He remembered his plans for tonight that he had forgotten for a while. The ghost is in Rio's house, and it seems that staying there is the best option for him. Because with him staying overnight, it is likely that his plan will work perfectly.

 Thomas is still thinking and considering it. It was at that moment that something shocked him and also Rio. He heard the sound of a door opening. Don't know who opened it.

 Cklek!
