Am I Different?
(S2) ~ Flashbacks

I saw Esther, maybe she was sad to see me like this. Suddenly as I stared at Esther carefully appeared another creature was behind her. That figure was tall.

"Esteh, go!" my yelling.

Esther quickly darted away from him, when she heard my words.

"Haha." The creature laughed, then slowly disappeared again.

I who was looking at him was still stunned. When I shouted, my father and mother were shocked to hear it.

"Why, Deck?" ask mother.

At that time, I did not answer my mother's question.

"Sir." Call mom again.

I was surprised by my mother's voice.

"Yes, ma'am" I replied.

"Why, Deck?" ask mom again.

"So I saw, there was a huge creature about to hurt Esteh, Mom," I replied.

I stroked my head, gently.

"You want to use a wheelchair? We'll take a walk in the park," take mom.

I also nodded while smiling. This is what I have been hoping for a long time to be here.

"Wait a minute, I'll get it, '" said the mother.

"Yes, Mom," I replied.

Mom walked out of the room, while Dad was still accompanying me in this room. Dad smiled at me, then stroked my head gently.

"Hopefully the atmosphere outside for you to get better, son," said the father.

"Yes, Dad," I answered briefly.

Afterwards, she returned by pushing her wheelchair. He seemed to be smiling while still in the distance. Dad started to lift my body, when my mother was near us, I was dropped by my father on the wheelchair.

I was sitting alone still unable, so my father raised me again. Then mom put a pillow on the wheelchair that was vertically attached, maybe for my body to lean on. Then I was back in my dad's wheelchair.

After that, right in my lap, I gave the pillow again horizontally and put it into the gap where I put my hand.

I saw him laughing, although actually in my mind very sad because I just need the help of a pillow to sit down.

"Hahahaha, I'm really bad at this. Sitting is not possible" I said, shaking my voice.

I kept crying in my heart, to strengthen my parents who may now feel down, for too long to be here with my condition slow to recover.

"Hush, you can't talk like that" said the father.

I only laughed when my father banned me. When everything was ready, I immediately pushed the wheelchair. The door was opened by my mother, it felt like I was out of prison, happy heart, a feeling of relief that I first felt.

We walked down the aisle of the hospital, each passing by the person in the corridor of this hospital, as if they were looking at me with a strange look. The hands that were still stuck in the infusion tube, sitting on pillows everywhere, made me look like a toy doll when I was a kid.

"Well, why am I like the doll I used to play with when I was a kid?" my many.

"Oh, huh? What toys are they? Do you remember" asked Dad.

"So gini yah ..," I said hanging, then my mind went back to my past.

Flashback.

At the time, I was about five years old. As usual, on Sunday I was at home. He accompanied me to play on the porch of my house, while my mother did what housewives do in general.

I still remember clearly, when the toys scattered in front of the terrace. From toy cars, cars, dolls, cooking until hospital equipment is there.

"Dad, take the train?" I said at that time.

"Yes, where's Dedek taking the train going?" ask Dad.

"Good, train to Grandma," I answered the typical child of his age, while seeing my chariot toys running by themselves because it uses batteries.

Somehow, at that time I put my train rail only one in a twist. So I put the two cars together in opposite directions.

My chariot toys collided, I also rushed to pick up the toy car that I thought was a v*ambulance.

"Ninoninonino, wiu wiu wiu*," I chirped, ascribing the sound to an ambulance and a police car when I was a child.

"Well, what's that sound?" ask dad while smiling.

"Hospital car," I chanted.

The father who heard it laughed, because I thought the ambulance was a hospital car.

"Ambulance, Dedek," said the father, holding back a laugh.

"Just like," I said.

After I put the toy car next to the train, I picked up my Barbie doll. My Barbie doll is a lot but I use only three toys, because I consider it father, mother and child.

I put down the little Barbie doll, then the big barbie doll I held.

"Keyla, wake. Keyla's dead, yes" I said.

I assume speech is not the same thing at that time, I say whatever is on my mind. The father who heard me, rebuffed me.

"Sst, what is it? No, no, Dek. Pamali darling," said father.

I was a little girl, just as I wanted to. I brought the two big Barbie dolls to the little barbie. I made it look like the two dolls were holding up the little Barbie.

"Where are you taking him, Dek?" ask dad when I put the little doll on the car.

"Hospital, I want to check" I said.

Dad smiled.

"Dedek Keyla, so the doctor?" ask Dad.

"No, I'm the one who's sick" I replied.

I just smiled and stroked my head slowly. At that moment I remember, my mother approached me and my father.

"Come, eat first. Later toys again, yes," said the mother while sitting near me.

"But this is Keylanya I sleep first. Wake up again" I said as I put the little barbie on the toy bed.

"Yes, then some more toys. Dedek Keyla sleeps, Dek, " said mother smiling when she saw my behavior.

I also grabbed mom to be carried. My eyes were fixed under a tree across the street. I saw old grandma sitting there.

"Mom, is Grandma going to eat?" my many.

"Grandma, who's dear?" ask mother.

"That" I said, pointing to what I saw.

My mom and dad looked up at my finger. They didn't see anyone there.

"There's no Grandma, Dek," said the father.

At that time I was still adamant that there were people, indeed I saw it but not with my parents. Dad tried to agree with my words, so I immediately wanted to go into the house.

"Yes, his grandmother will be loved then. Dedek eat first yes the same mother," said the father gently.

I just smiled, and according to my father. Even though I was in my mother's arms, I was struggling when my father and mother said there was no one there.

Seriate....
