Am I Different?
(S2) ~ What Is He Dead?

Mom and Dad stopped when I told them to.

"Why, Deck?" ask mother.

"Mom, I'm afraid," I said.

"Fear what, Deck?" ask dad.

"Fear the red ghost that once was" I said.

Father and mother did not respond, but after that mother brought me back to the hospital. My father decided to go see Kevin.

"We're ahead, yes," said the mother.

I just nodded my head. There is actually another underlying reason to stay away from the room. Earlier, accidentally saw there was Kevin but it was faintly seen near his father. I didn't want to complicate matters, so I decided to dodge.

"Sir, you can't suddenly change your mind because of ghosts. I know, there must be something," said the mother.

"Really, Mom. I don't want to be bullied by that evil demon anymore" I said looking for an excuse.

We can only sit here, without any words that make us talk to each other. My mind flew everywhere, afraid that Kevin would die, afraid that Kevin would be harmed by the same ghost as me. And worse, all the causes of this mess, I.

"Key," someone called out from behind me.

I decided to look around and it surprised me. Kevin's figure without any injuries came to me. I can only stare and stare when I see it.

"Keyla, why? Look I'm not sick," said Kevin looked happy, he twisted his body, then stomped the previously sore leg.

I realized when I looked at something.

"Why, Deck?" ask mother.

"Tante, I'm cured. Thanks, yeah. Oh yeah, where's Papa? Come on, let's go home" said Kevin, excited.

But of course I won't respond because she's invisible to me.

"It's okay, Mom. Dad, how long, huh?" my word.

"We see what, anyway? I'm gonna go to the toilet for a second, are you here or are you coming with me?" ask mother.

"Here you go, ma'am," I said.

Mom left me, and Kevin looked confused with both of us.

"Keyla, why? How come your mother didn't respond to me? I was wrong, right?" ask Kevin.

"Sir Kevin feels something is strange, doesn't he? Do you feel like there's nothing different about yourself?" my many.

"Any? Yeah, hell. It's so fast I can walk. But it's okay, I'm happy, Key," said Kevin not yet aware.

From a distance, my father's voice called me.

"Dec," call dad.

I immediately looked over and saw my father approaching me.

"Yes, Dad. How's it?" I looked up at Kevin.

"So Mom told me I was going to the toilet, so I rushed here. Oh, yes Kevin is still critical. Hopefully he can get through it all and be given a cure," said the father told.

At that moment I looked at Kevin who looked gawking and did not believe what Dad said.

"What does your father mean? I'm here, Om," Kevin told me.

I just looked at Kevin who looked dizzy. He may be confused about his situation.

"Did I die?" ask Kevin.

I just shook my head at the sign of not knowing.

"You don't know or I'm not dead?" said Kevin.

Again I just shake my head.

He kept asking me the same thing, which made me feel annoyed.

"Shut up!" my yelling.

The father who heard it suddenly saw me and at the same time my mother also came.

"Why, Deck?" ask dad.

"I didn't know you were dead or not. But what I saw was your figure who was here but your body was there," I told Kevin, closing my eyes.

Mom and Dad immediately grabbed me and asked what was going on with me.

"What's up, Dek? Why?" ask mother.

"Kevin is here, right in front of me. I don't know if he's dead or not, but I do know he's here" I said.

Slowly I tried to open my eyes, seeing Kevin was resting and covering his face with the palm of his hand.

"Sister Kevin, here," I said.

"I'm dead, Key. I'm a ghost" said Kevin, sounding as if he was crying.

"Sister, pray and move. I hope I get a second chance, for example. I've done the same thing, too," I said trying to calm down.

Mother stroked my head, though she was actually confused by what I saw.

"Daddy, Kevin's here?" ask dad.

I nodded my head.

"Help him, Dad. Poor Brother Kevin, do not let him also be disturbed by other creatures," I said.

Dad immediately pushed me and mom followed. I also did not understand what Dad would do, so he looked rushed.

"Why, Dad?" my many.

I replaced the confused one, without much word he approached his papa Kevin.

"Sir," called father as he watched his father Kevin ponder.

"Yes, sir," replied Kevin's father in an impassioned voice.

"Sorry before. If we ask one or two people, to take care of Kevin and always teach nearby how?" ask dad.

"What do you mean? Doain my son died, huh?" ask Kevin's dad curiously.

"It's not so, but ...," said the father had not finished his papa Kevin cut.

"Huh, bullshit. You go there if you just make things worse" his papa Kevin said in a high tone.

Mom pulled me to leave immediately, thankfully I just complied without denying anything. As I looked towards Kevin, he stood right in front of me and pleaded.

"Key, I beg you. Don't go, I'm afraid. I don't want to die, Key," said Kevin.

"Sorry, Brother. But I must go, do not forget to always pray and ask God to always be with you. I must always pray for you" I said, then turned my face away from him.

I can't bear to see Kevin alone. I know, what it's like for the soul to go around and there's interference there. I am still lucky that my grandmother always gave me the recitation of the Holy Qur'an, so that I can live to this day.

I don't know how Kevin will be, hoping he's as lucky as I am. I looked at him who was currently resting in his place earlier, he seemed to want us to continue to accompany him because only to me could he interact.

"Well, cassian Kevin," I said.

"How else, Deck. We came when Kevin's papa's anger subsided, yeah. He's grieving, so let's just give understanding to Kevin's father" said the father.

I just nodded. Then my dad helped me get back in the car, then slowly walked away leaving Kevin in his grief.

In my heart I said, *forgive me, brother. Hopefully later we meet you in a happy smiling state and we can laugh together again.
