He's Not Dead
I'm Lonely
“Arka, are you okay?” ask Bono.
I who still felt dizzy because his head seemed to hit something just shook my head. It was all so fast and I still don't know what happened.
“What's the matter?” I asked Bono who was standing next to me. Bono sitting on the seat a little back did not seem to feel much shock.
“Bus we hit, look tuh!”
I bent my head and sure enough, the bus I was riding on crashed into the tail of the bus in front.
“All down, the injured directly join his homeroom to get treatment immediately,” shouted someone.
Bono and I got off the bus. Outside it was chaotic as some of the female students were crying and some of the injured began to be taken to nearby hospitals. It turned out to be a back-to-back collision, two buses that were included in the suit. There are still some private cars ahead there whose shape is quite badly damaged.
“Arka, you come to the hospital. Your forehead is bruised there is also a bleeding wound,” said Bono.
I just nodded and followed the instructions of the guidance teachers. Until I finally got to the hospital. The wounds I felt did not belong to the severe category so the first is a victim with heavier injuries.
While waiting for my turn to be treated, I was recorded by the hospital including one of the teachers. Not only am I waiting for the queue to be checked, there are also many other students. I turned my eyes around, the hospital atmosphere was getting crowded because of the many victims of the accident earlier.
My gaze stopped on the figure of a girl who was staring at me. I frowned as we looked at each other, because I knew he was.
“Arka Yuratama.”
I looked up and approached the direction of the voice. It turned out that it was my turn to be examined and dealt with, I had a chance to see that there was still that figure there. That girl was like my age or a year under me, she was wearing an unfamiliar school uniform. Looks like an international school uniform, with a checkered skirt and a white shirt top. Her hair was tied to a ponytail equipped with white sneakers, which obviously she looked pretty and petite.
“There are other complaints besides this wound?” ask the doctor who examined me.
“My head is a bit dizzy after it hit.”
The doctor was silent for a moment and then asked something else. I don't know what the diagnosis of my complaint is, which the doctor clearly recommends for hospitalization and further examination. I was asked to wait.
“Arka, have you contacted your parents?” ask the guidance teacher who accompanied the student of the accident victim.
I shook my head, contacting Mama before knowing what happened to me would only make her panic.
“You are the Father who contacted?”
“No need Sir, let me just.” I pulled out my phone, looked for Papa's contact and made a call and …. “Astagfirullah,” I said surprised because the girl was already standing in front of me with a smile.
“Why you?” ask the guidance counselor who is still waiting for me to call Papa.
I shook my head slowly. Not long after the call was connected, I briefly explained the chronology of the incident while my gaze pointed to that figure who was currently still in his position.
...***...
I've been in the hospital room somehow class is clear there are three beds, even have changed patient uniforms and have received several examinations. The pain in my head had not gone away and there was a bruise on my body, so the doctor's decision for me to hospitalize seemed to be correct.
It's just that I don't like it here, because “they” is a lot and quite disturbing. There was a nurse followed by a creature who also looked like a nurse, only the uniform worn was worn out and the face was pale. There is also a passing while dragging his feet and a creepy little child carried by a mother with unraveled entrails.
Right now I closed my eyes from drowsiness but in my ears I still heard whispers from the figure standing next to the patient's last bed.
“You will die, come with me.”
The sentence continued to sound and from the tone of his voice I knew that it was the voice of a subtle creature. His figure could not be seen because there were curtains beside me and other patients in the middle bed.
“Hai.”
Hearing me stand out her face turned flat like the first time I saw her.
“Do I creep like a ghost, until you have to say that word?”
Have patience Arka, do not need to be served.
“Why silent?” He asked again.
I was still indifferent and looked at the ceiling of the room even evaporated and chose to close my eyes.
“No need to pretend, you can see me and other creatures. yes ‘kan?”
“Arka!”
I opened my eyes because I heard a familiar voice.
“Ma ..”.
The woman hugged me and asked me all kinds of questions about my condition.
“I don't understand later mama just ask the doctor.”
Mama is not alone she came with Om Kaivan, it turns out Papa immediately went out of town after driving me to school this morning. Om Kaivan called someone, like Papa.
“Kak, quickly take care of Arka's room,” Mama said after Om Kaivan ended the call.
“Hm, I take care of it first. Later that night Bang Aldo try to return to Jakarta,” said the man then left me and Mama.
“Who are they?”
I looked over, the figure was still there and asked instead. At first glance I read the name tag in his uniform, “DAVINA”
“It looks like they can't see me like you see me?”
“It's none of your business,” I replied as I began to get upset with his chatter.
“What solution?” ask Mama.
“Ah, not Mah.”
Mama looked left and right, “Did anyone bother you?”
Mama is different, she can't see invisible creatures like me and Papa. However, according to the story of Mama there was the ability to see and communicate with supernatural beings and even spirits who haunt because it is still hard to leave the world can convey the last message to the family left behind through Mama. That ability was lost when Mama woke up from a coma after giving birth to me.
“You will die, come with me.”
The voice was still disturbing and this figure was the same.
“Mah, I want to sleep.”
“Sleep, there's Mama here,” she said while fixing my blanket.
“Do not sleep, I am lonely,” said a figure named Davina.
