Helloween

Kimberly's fear of Alice slowly faded after hearing Arnold's advice.

That Alice wouldn't be the horrible evil woman she was before.

"Okay, then, you have to want to hug your mother. She wants to hug you, Kim," Arnold said to Kimberly.

Then the little girl looked at Alice doubtfully, while Alice put on a pitiful face.

"Come here, Kid," Alice called, spreading her arms at half-mast.

Hoping the princess would come to her and hug her.

"Kim, it's okay, let's go over to your mother," whispered Arnold.

"But...." Kimberly lowered her head.

"Come on, don't be afraid," said Arnold again.

Kimberly began to walk slowly.

Then he approached her mother, but she did not immediately hug her. Kimberly looked at Alice one more time, confirming that this was her mother.

"Mommy," she said quietly. Kimberly ended up hugging her mother while sobbing.

The atmosphere looked sad.

All this because of that evil woman.

Sea, they thought had vanished and never came again, had returned after so many years of being missing.

The next day, they live life as usual.

Likewise, Diana, the girl was in the school.

She walked through the gate, and soon a teenager like Diana came up to her.

"Hello, Di!" call her.

"Hey, Megan!" said Diana.

"I see you've been daydreaming for a while, how about Halloween preparations? Do you have the costumes?" asked the girl named Megan.

"Ah . . . no," replied Diana.

Megan looked shocked to hear the answer from this friend.

"Ah! Weren't you the most enthusiastic from the start?" Megan said.

"No! I'm not excited anymore!" said Diana, and her voice suddenly became a little curt. Of course, this made Megan feel surprised because in years her best friend had seldom spoken in such a high tone.

"Di, you're in trouble, huh?" asked a curious Megan.

Diana blinked quickly when she realized that she had spoken to Megan in a slightly different tone.

"No! I'm sorry," Diana said with a forced smile.

Megan looked at the girl with a stiff expression on her face.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Megan asked again to make sure.

"Yeah, I'm fine! Let's go to class!" said Diana while holding Megan's hand.

Then with an expression that hasn't changed, Megan accepts Diana's invitation.

'Maybe starting this year I will vent about Halloween celebrations,' Diana said to herself.

The sentence was not without basis, because Diana looked in the mirror at what she saw and heard yesterday.

All of Bella's stories, and the events that had happened to Alice, made Diana reluctant to celebrate the party, she was afraid that she would make another mess.

***

While all of her friends were busy preparing costumes, and various knick-knacks for Halloween, Diana even avoided it.

Even Megan has repeatedly contacted her and asked about the reason Diana was ignoring the party.

But Diana ignored her.

She didn't pick up calls from her other friends either. She tried to disappear before the day of the celebration.

Diana even skipped school.

Even though tonight is the peak of Halloween celebrations at her school.

She purposely didn't go to school today with the excuse of being sick, she wanted to forget the word 'Halloween' from her mind.

Diana is now alone in her room.

Tok! Tok! Tok!

"Yeah, just a minute!" said Diana. The girl is now starting to get up.

"Di! Let's hurry out!" shouted Daniel.

"Ah, what do you want?" snorted Diana.

Although with a grumbling mouth, Diana still opened the door for her sister.

Celek!

"What?" asked Diana curtly.

"To Aunt Alice's house, let's go!" take Daniel.

"Ah ... I'm lazy," answered Diana unenthusiastically.

"Why?" asked Daniel.

"I want to stay in my room," answered Diana.

"Di, I know you're avoiding your friends. So let's go to Aunt Alice's house, no one there can find you, and you can also exchange ideas with Aunt Alice," concluded Daniel.

Diana began to rethink Daniel's words.

'What Daniel says is true,' Diana said in her mind.

"How? Are you want to go there?" asked Daniel again.

Diana nodded her head.

"Okay, I'm going there," she replied. Daniel smiled as he patted his sister's shoulder tightly.

"That is good!" he said. Diana winced slightly in pain holding her shoulder.

"Don't be rude, Daniel!" shrieked an irritated Diana.

"Oops, sorry, I forgot ha ha ha ...." Daniel said as he covered his mouth holding back laughter.

Diana snorted in annoyance.

Daniel is very fond of pranking his sister, he will laugh when he sees Diana angry because of his pranks.

***

The two teenagers went to Alice's house. And when they got there, the atmosphere of the house was so quiet.

Their shop is also closed.

Diana and Daniel walked over to Felix who was busy tidying up the shop.

"Uncle!" called Diana and Daniel in unison.

Felix looked at his two nephews.

"Hey, you guys!" said Felix.

"Uncle, why is the shop closed?" Diana asked.

"Well ... as you can see, Di. Things are still a mess, and maybe we'll be closed for a few more days, Aunt Alice also needs a break," concluded Felix.

"Oh, I see," Daniel nodded his head.

Meanwhile, Diana could not wait to meet Alice.

"Uncle, may I come in to see Aunt Alice?" Diana asked.

"Of course, please come in," Felix replied.

And Diana swung her steps into the house, she went straight up the stairs to Alice's room. Meanwhile, Daniel was chatting outside with Felix.
