Baby Amber
Ghost Hospital

The morning sunlight began to pierce through the glass of the room window. The heat reached the room. But the atmosphere of the Hospital looks back lonely.

"Why is it deserted? where were the people who were passing by?" I looked back and forth looking for people who had been busy. I shook my head when I saw the hospital floor that looked so dirty, even until the hallway where the old man had left last night also looked dirty and gloomy.

"Hasn't it been cleaned? Very quickly everything looks dirty." I muttered as I saw a lot of dry leaves strewn across the front yard of the inpatient room. I paced back and forth like a chick who lost its mother. Confusion to and fro because things changed drastically from what I saw last night.

"Sir, how's my wife?" ask the doctor who knows when he entered the room. Without saying much, the doctor only said that Ratih can be brought home. No message, no word. There is no explanation for what really happened to Ratih. What the doctor asked, Ratih and I had to leave immediately because Ratih had been declared cured.

"What a strange doctor." I murmured inwardly.

"Just the hospital is quiet. The doctor is like that." I murmured again. I know less about this area. As long as I was married to Ratih and lived in this city, I did travel very rarely. All I know is pioneering businesses, places of business and cheap shopping needs. For Hospitals, the Ratih family more often go to the Hospital in the middle of the city. In addition to more complete equipment, there the doctor is also complete and friendly. Another case with the Hospital where Ratih is treated at this time. The hospital is not very big and there are not too many visitors. I deliberately brought Ratih here because I was too worried about the condition of Ratih and wanted to get immediate treatment.

I drove the car out of the hospital. There were no guards or officers standing guard.

"That's a shame, Dik." I told Ratih as I left the hospital. Ratih was holding Radit turned his head, looking around the Hospital.

"Let's go, Mas." said Ratih with a changed face.

"Are you okay, brother?" Ratih just nodded, he asked me to hurry home. Already wanted to play with Radit at home he said.

I say goodbye to Ratih to return to the restaurant. To help Ibra and see the state of the two-day restaurant I did not see. Pity Ibra if you have to bother taking care of everything yourself, even though there are already some people who will help him serve customers, but for shopping and other needs Ibra will be very troublesome because usually I will intervene alone.

As usual, I always tell Ibra strange things. Strange things happen at home, even in the hospital. Ibra also already knows about Radit, even who Radit really is who is most likely an amber baby. Only he believed what I was telling him, while Ratih insisted that Radit was a special ordinary boy.

"Try me to check back at the Hospital. How strange is that." Ibra suggested with a laugh. I know that Ibra is just joking, so often hearing even watching horror movies makes her think horror too. Because of the fear of Ibra, I have entered the Hospital of another world. I exhaled a rough breath.

I slowly passed in front of the Hospital where Ratih was being treated. Lonely, there's no one. Even the security that is usually standing by in front of the gate is not visible. The hospital gate was closed. There was no sign that the hospital was inhabited. The wild grasses were seen rising, just like the conditions when I was about to leave this place.

"When have you been, sir?"manya curious.

"It's been a while, sir. After all, this hospital has also been empty of patients. Expensive, the tools are also incomplete. So most people if sick prefer to go to the Hospital in a bigger city." the story of that person makes my heart beat fast.

"Sick father?" ask the man I answered with a headband.

"Pale, sir" said the one I answered again with a smile.

I just stayed quiet at home. Trying to forget what I heard from the people around the Hospital. I'm worried if Ratih comes to mind because he's been treated at the empty and haunted Hospital.

"It should all feel weird and weird." I murmured.

"Think what, Mom?" ask Ratih who suddenly appeared while holding Radit. He asked me to hold Radit, while he wanted to prepare dinner. I actually refused to accept his request. I'd prefer it if I prepared everything, but Ratih forced me to be with Radit and rest.

I put Radit on the floor, the kid crawled around and played alone like any other kid. Chattering, laughing and acting like an ordinary baby can make me feel affection for her. Only, when he returned to his original form, Radit was able to make me tremble and fear. Just this time I was in direct contact with beings from another world as long as I lived.

"Nina bobo.. oohh.. nina bobo.." I blinked, wriggled because I felt a body that felt pain and was very tired. Faintly heard the voice of a woman insulting a child. For a moment I remembered the incident where I first found Radit.

"Dik." I didn't find Train in the room. I tried to find the living room and kitchen. Who knows if Ratih was there, but apparently my wife was not there.

"Gosh." how surprised I was when a creepy woman stood right behind me. The figure of the woman who was very similar to Ratih was standing right behind me where I was currently sitting. I quickly stood up and turned around, pretending I didn't see the figure. I try to act like I don't see anything.

I wanted to quickly leave the dining table, but my footsteps felt heavy and limp from trembling. I stopped to get up. I finally sat back down with a feeling that was somehow very difficult for me to explain. I lowered my head, placed it on the table and rested on my hands. Trying to set the heart and calm the heart rhythm that is like being pounded very fast. Even his stubborn voice was heard by myself because it was so tight. I read short prayers that I recited when I was teaching as a child.

"Ah, fuck. If I were more diligent in teaching, maybe I'm not this bad. There will be many prayers that I can read to prevent me from this kind of distraction." I messed up. I closed my eyes, acting like there was nothing around me. From under my feet, there was still a shabby white cloth that had turned brownish in color standing behind me. I grimaced, holding back the crying. I don't know when that figure will leave. I can't stand being alone with that woman here.
