Cambodian Ward
Chapter 6 ~ Ningrum (3)

“I don't want to die yet," said the figure.

I shuddered in horror at the figure whose body had been brought into the mortuary. Somehow my face looked, it was definitely deathly pale from fear. Who wouldn't be afraid to see the sighting of the man who was pronounced dead and now I'm in the toilet. A place that is said to be a place of interest for ghosts.

“Please me.”

The figure slowly approached. I can make sure the figure does not tread on the ground, its body floating. My mouth was open for prayer, but it felt stiff. Cold sweat and my skin is goosebumps.

He was getting closer, his face was pias and sad. What can I do, even if he refuses to die. I have no power, even to move my body right now is difficult.

“Aaaaa.”

That's the only sound that can come out of my mouth.

“Mel.”

Andra's voice, it's Andra's.

“Mel lo inside ‘kan?”

I closed my eyes because the figure was getting closer, my mouth was hard to clench but in the heart the prayer circuit did not break. The atmosphere of the toilet felt so cold and felt a gust of wind hit the face then my body felt weak and warped even slumped to the floor.

My breath puffed with my face down while sitting on the floor, reluctant to look up worried there was still that figure.

Brakes.

“Mel.” I heard footsteps and hands touching my shoulders. “Lo is okay?”

Being convinced that it was Andra, I raised my gaze to look at him and shook my head.

“Come,” take Andra to help me stand up. “Nothing,” the man said as I stared around.

“You know I was bullied, why didn't you sign in from earlier?”

“Not know, Just a feeling.”

Andra and I went back to the Cambodian ward, Andra got me a glass of water and I finished it. Interacting with subtle-creatures even though only fear can still make me tired.

“Ndra, replace me. ICU one critical,” exciting Dian.

“OK,” Andra said directly to ICU.

“Why you?” ask Sister Dian.

“Nothing Ma'am.” Immediately I headed towards the bulkhead where Ningrum was. Could it be that the empty bed in which the figure had died occupied by the bed, because yesterday the one occupied there also ended up dying.

“Amel, keep here can not daydream. Must be extra careful, because patients here really need our attention and accuracy.”

“Iya Mbak, I will remember very well,” I replied and would like to add extra caution because the spirit is curious.

“There are new patients, nine beds yes,” Dian said. I understood the instructions, rushed to pull the curtains to facilitate the transfer of incoming patients.

Wait a minute, bed nine ‘kan bed that was used this afternoon by the patient who died and his spirit I saw in the toilet.

“Mbak Dian, eight beds yes,”. Although you do not believe in the myth of the death gurney, but there is no harm in keeping watch so as not to be a suggestion.

The door of the ward was opened and several officers pushed the bed with patients connected to several devices. We simultaneously moved the patient's body to the eighth bed right next to Ningrum. I deftly install and make sure back the medical equipment needed by the patient's body.

“Nih status.” I received the file and skimmed through the patient's condition. Sister Dian who had been to the toilet rushed to the patient was also a guard doctor.

“But it has not been declared a coma, just not yet conscious,” exclaimed Sister Dian.

“You keep watching, yes,” the doctor said, I nodded and pulled the curtains again. These two patients are on my watch, the Ningrum coma patient and the Lydia patient who has not been conscious post-surgery.

Almost ten o'clock at night, the team in charge of the night shift was briefing at the nurse station. I checked Lydia's condition with her back to Ningrum.

Tap tap tap

I who was in a slightly lowered position examined the infusion needle in Lydia's hand and straightened my body and looked back. Staring at Ningrum who was still closed while earlier I heard clearly footsteps.

Back down and make sure the infusion liquid does not seep out.

Tap

Srek.

“Who?” I said as I turned around and I saw that someone was walking out through the partially opened curtain. I followed that guy and there was no one. Only the nurse's activities are almost done hours of work.

“Who to look for?” asked Andra who was standing next to me.

“So who came out of this bulkhead?”

“Not there, I don't see anyone. Be prepared, do not want to go home. See what. Busyet, very fierce girl,” said Andra while rubbing his shin hit my kick. I don't want Andra to remember the events that will make me feel the fear and goosebumps again.

“Amel, done?” ask Sister Dian.

“Already mbak.” I briefly looked at Ningrum and Lidia alternately, both of them still severed peacefully.

Get out of the Cambodian ward in a hurry, because others already include Andra. Luck was not on my side, because the elevator was full and I had to be patient waiting for the two elevators to come down.

My gaze was fixed on the elevator door, reluctant to turn to the right direction of the janitor and toilet. He glanced to the left and saw the family waiting room, where some people were resting because it was past ten in the evening.

I don't know why the atmosphere feels gripping and cold, even though I've been wearing a jacket. I rubbed my nape because I felt the wind.

“For a very long time,” I said seeing the number one lit up. This means that the elevator is still on the first floor and has not gone up. I felt bad, like someone was standing behind me. Both elevators were still at the bottom and were just up.

“Cepattt.” I murmured while stomping my feet to drive away the fear of having a heavy nape. I pushed the elevator button many times.

Srek.

It turned out that it was not just my feelings, whether human or not standing behind my body and now moving to the side. Still looking ahead I was reluctant to turn my head, although from the corner of the eye was seen a figure standing beside me.

“Mbak.”

Deg.

The voice sounded so soft, I was reluctant to answer let alone look. With a lowered face and a glance towards the foot of the figure beside me and it turned out .. He did not tread to the ground.

Ting.

The elevator door opened I rushed in and pressed the button to close the door without seeing the creature.

“Mbak.”

“Go, don't bother me.” I shouted while looking down and the elevator door slowly closed. Still feeling goosebumps all over the body and the door was almost closed, I ventured to look away and …

“Ningrum,” I said just as the door closed tightly.
