Cambodian Ward
Chapter 15 ~ Accident

I was beside the corpse and opened the covering. It turned out to be true Ningrum. Two days ago, I was still wiping her body. Replacing diapers and ensuring intravenous fluids and medical devices attached to his body function properly.

Both my hands shut their mouths to avoid screaming. Ningrum's spirit came to see me, with a statement of his riddle.

“Ningrum,” I said softly.

“When will his family take this corpse?” ask Andra to Mr. Narto.

“Stop, the administration section that contacted. I am only in charge of bathing and securing the corpse.”

“Amel, there are other things we need to make sure. Ningrum has calmed down,” said Andra who saw me sobbing.

“Quiet. You sure he's calm? In a coma only, his spirit is chased by the devil and now ...”

“Hey, did you meet this dead spirit?” ask Mr. Narto to me.

I nodded my head slowly. Mr. Narto looked at me, like making sure of something.

“You guys, who exactly? What do you mean come here?”

Andra conveyed the purpose of our arrival, information about the Cambodian ward was also about the visitation.

“Mitos, which you heard is myth.” Mr. Narto began performing the procedure of bathing the body on Ningrum.

“We not only heard, but felt the strangeness and disturbance. We almost fell victim to the elevator and Amel saw his own offerings prepared on the thirteenth floor, as well as the ghosts who came to sajen.”

Andra's speech made Mr. Narto look at us alternately.

“Be careful, you don't know what you're dealing with.”

“So right, there is a date and the patient died is the fall?” I asked for Mr. Narto.

The middle-aged man sat on a round chair and stopped the preparations for the corpse bath. He sighed and looked back at me and Andra took turns.

“Even if you know and you understand, can you reverse the situation? The families you face are not ordinary families, they are very powerful with mystical affairs. No longer related to the deceased patient is a miscarriage, it could be that the person died is already fate.”

“I see for myself, the spirits of deceased patients dragged by supernatural beings out of wards.”

“What do you want to know?”

Andra and I smiled and walked over to Pak Narto. Ask a lot of things, related to the Cambodian ward and ask what the man knows.

“I'll tell you, but not here. Book my assignments today, just come to my contract.” Mr. Narto told Andra where he lived, I approached the body of Ningrum praying that his spirit was calm there.

We headed for the parking lot in silence, preoccupied with each other's thoughts. Suddenly Andra pulled my hand and we turned.

“Why the hell?”

“Sit!” edith Andra pointed to the stainless chair in the corridor. Not long after the group passed and I saw a man who owned the hospital in the company of other officials.

“Come, we just wait outside,” invite Andra when the situation is safe.

Either me or Andra, either of us could be in danger based on what I heard that night.

“Mel, Mr. Narto is in order for another three hours. Where to go first?”

“Hm.”

“My place is yes, if you go to your home far more to his address Pak narto.”

“So, I follow the important there must be a solution. I don't want to be terrorized by supernatural beings.”

...***...

Andra's boarding place was mixed, not just for men. However, Andra and I were in a special room receiving guests. Andra turned out to be flexible, can be serious and hilarious as it is today. I've been laughing since the joke.

“Udah ah, stomach ache laugh mulu.”

“That makes me laugh who.”

Suddenly Andra fell silent, his face seriously staring in one direction and both of his hands clenched. I called her name, but was ignored.

“Ndra, don't take it,” I said while pushing his body slowly.

Andra finally sighed and looked at me. Staring strangely and wistfully, it made me wonder what was wrong with her.

“You why the hell? Can you have another vision?”

“Seriously? What?”

“Gue saw lo, cry and scream,” Andra said still looking at me.

“Why can it be?”

“It's not clear, it's just the scene I saw.”

“What does this have to do with the cambodian ward? By hospital or ...” My words stopped because Andra was holding my hand still with her gaze growing horror.

“Andra what the hell, you make fear know.”

“What if you stop working or ask for a mutation. Cambodian wards seem dangerous.”

Actually what vision was felt by Andra to tell me to stop from the hospital. Could that decision be a solution and invisible beings wouldn't bother me?

“Sure that it's the best solution? I stop won't stop the trouble in the cambodian ward.”

“It's none of your business and none of our business. Let it be a problem between the owner of the hospital and his Lord.”

Andra sighed then restored her hair in annoyance.We were both silent, seemingly thinking the same thing.

“It looks like Pak Narto is home, let's go to his house.”

It was not until thirty minutes that we finally arrived at Pak Narto's contract. The man lived alone, not knowing where his family was. The settlement is densely populated, even my motorbike is parked in the minimarket. Because there is no place to park.

“I thought you guys wouldn't come, it turned out to be serious too.”

Mr. Narto smoked his cigarette, started telling me what he knew.

“I was in the hospital from the beginning, the time was still two floors of the front building and then developed until now. Assignment, that's what's going on. The development of this hospital is quite rapid, maybe that's the basis of people spreading the issue that the hospital did the emergency.”

Mr. Narto again smoked his cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke.

“Until I myself witnessed it. Sajen and the patient are made into a mashup. Not all patients die into a collision, no matter what the conditions are only Munir knows. Munir's the hospital owner. I'm tied up, Munir won't let me go. You guys are here, it could endanger your lives.”

“Then the emergency, when to take the victim?”

“In a year Munir must subvert more than twenty-five lives and must be carried out in a certain month to a certain extent. The seventh month of the second week of each year, that's the deadline and that day is a few more days. Yesterday I met Munir, he looked riled up. This must have something to do with the amount that has not been met.”

“Why did Mr Munir let you know of this problem?” ask Andra just like I did.

“Because I'm already tied. I'm leaving, so maybe I'll be grounded. That's what I said, your lives could be in danger.”

“I'm curious, what are the terms of this victim's fall?”

“For that matter, I don't know.”

“Ningrum, she's been in a coma for a long time. Is he a victim too?” my pedicabs.

“I've told you what I know, you better not interfere. Take care of yourself and save each other's lives."

"We did not interfere, but we seemed to be involved in experiencing events beyond logic" replied Andra.

We finally left Pak Narto's house. Still dead-end, about the cambodian ward. Since Andra had another appointment, I went home alone. On the way I pulled over and opened the phone because it felt vibrating was a call from Mom.

"Hello Ma'am."

"Amel" said Mother on the other end of the phone in a soft, vibrating voice.

"Why Ma'am?"

Sounds bad but no answer.

"Mother ...."

"Mal, Doni ...."

"What's Dony doing?" ask me slowly while swallowing the saliva. Hope something bad happens.

"Doni of infamy."

"What?"
