He's Not Dead
Who Are You Talking To?

He was lonely, how long had he been wandering around.

I didn't care about the girl's request and chose to close my eyes even though I wasn't actually sleeping. What was happening around me I could still hear, including a soft sound at the end of the bed.

“Pak, Father!” someone shouted, I even opened my eyes.

It turned out to be the cry of the patient's companion on the bed.

“What's Mah?”

“Entah,” replied Mama who shifted the curtains and stepped to find out what happened.

There was a doctor and some nurses coming, it seemed like something happened to that patient.

“The patient died.”

I looked and scrunched my forehead. Davina, yes the figure with the name tag Davina has been sitting in the chair that was occupied by Mama. Even his two hands resting on the edge of the bed cupped his face staring at me. He didn't feel his breath even though we were close, of course because he wasn't human.

“Where did you know?” ask me to open my voice.

“Ahh, you finally spoke as well. I know you can communicate with me too,” Davina said with a cheerful face.

I clucked and turned my eyes. Of the many sightings and disturbances of the ghost or other creatures, the figure of Davina did not make my body respond like goosebumps or even silence can not move.

“Hey, let's talk again. No one's been talking to me for a long time.”

“Because your place is not here.” I replied to Davina.

“The fake nurse is also dead but she's still hanging around. Don't want me to be like this, then what should I do?”

Yes also yes, not the desire he is still circulating in the world.

I heard a cry and Mama approached. “The patient died,” Mama said and sat down on the chair.

I was surprised, worried if Mama occupied Davina, it turns out that the figure had moved to sit on the bed cabinet. I can only shake my head to see it.

“True ‘kan, he's dead. I've seen something like that a few times,” Davina said as she swung her legs.

“Arka, how are you doing?” ask the newly arrived Om Kaivan.

“My head still hurts Om, the doctor said it will be done what tests I do not understand.”

“When Arka will move rooms, here she is less comfortable will not be able to rest,” Mama said.

What Mama said was true, after the patient was declared dead heard the sound of crying from the patient's family and some health workers who took care of the corpse still back and forth.

"Patience, I've taken care of it and asked for it immediately.”

...***...

Finally, I changed rooms. Not that I was arrogant because I did not want to interact with others but in the condition that I was on medication because of an accident, having to share a room with an unknown person was very uncomfortable.

“I go home first, Bang Aldo will definitely come home tonight. You guys don't mind me staying?” ask Om Kaivan.

Mama answered no problem and advised Om Kaivan because the household was not good. My ears listened to what they were talking about but my face led to the bathroom door opening slowly, opening itself.

“No problem, it seems like he just wants to get acquainted,” said Davina who was already sitting on the bed right next to my head.

“Don't sit there, quickly get off!” I said without looking at her, still looking at the bathroom door.

“If I still want to be here, what can you do?”

“Arka, Om home. There is nothing to say to your mother or press that button to call the nurse and doctor,”, said Om Kaivan as he pointed at the emergency button.

“Om you are handsome, I want to have a mature and handsome male lover like him.” Davina then goes down and chases Om Kaivan. “See you again,” he said then waved his hand even though Om Kaivan did not hear let alone see.

“Weird basis.”

“Who is weird? About Kaivan?” asked Mama who thought I was talking to her.

“You are strange,” said Davina.

“Arka, you are not interacting with other creatures ‘kan? Don't scare Mama, there's no Papa here,” Mama complained as she rubbed her arm.

“Not Mah, Mama why afraid so anyway. Not that Mama used to interact with “they”?”

“Yes, but still scared. At first my mother was scared, but grateful now that power is no longer there,” said Mama.

Davina is still between me and Mama, listening to what we were talking about even sometimes come to comment even though it can only be heard by me and that sucks sometimes I open my voice to reply to his comments and Mama sometimes misunderstood.

“Mama is horrified, you must be talking to someone huh?”

“Not someone Mah,” I replied.

“Then what?” ask Mama again.

“Sahelp,” answered me then chuckled.

Mama hit my arm hearing me joke. “Do not joke, Mama seriously.”

“Garing, what is a ghost,” said Davina.

“Yes you are a ghost, there is no way someone,” I said softly so that it can not be heard by Mama.

“Your mom is still beautiful and young, you sure was born by her?”

“Ck. Go, you start brash.” I kicked Davina out, since then still hold with her presence but over time began to interfere.

“Where to go?”

“Come to the afterlife, perhaps,” I replied as I stared at the ceiling of the room.

He did not answer, unlike before who always replied to me. I turned my head and it turned out that Davina was looking down, it seemed like she .. cried.

 “Why you?” I asked Davina, still in a slightly whispering voice.

Davina just shook her head.

“Why look down?” ask again. Because often see supernatural beings with a down position and when lifting his face will appear apparitions that make the heartbeat of the teedjak even it feels like pi pis in place and the mouth wants to scream.

“I know you don't want me here but how else, I don't know why I'm like this. Life but death, if I can go I want to go,” Davina said. “Only you can see me and can communicate with me,” Davina said again.

“Not just me, there's Papa who can also see creatures like you. Just wait for him to come, maybe Papa can help you to leave,” I explained to Davina.

Mama realized I was talking and interacting with other creatures, she was sitting on the couch playing a cell phone either was sending a message to whom.

“Really?” ask Davina.

“Hm.”

“So Papa you also have the expertise to communicate with other creatures like you?” ask Davina again.

“Iya, baubles. Shut up and don't bother me until Papa comes,” I said in a rather loud voice.

“ARKA! Who are you talking to?” yell Mama.
