“We still have 30 minutes to give this letter to Sister Sista, but there are so many ghosts watching us at this time.” Refald watched the surroundings warily while I had just gotten a brilliant idea for this letter to reach the recipient's hand but was known by any ghost.
“Cute me.” I took Refald's hand and took him to the bookstore. After getting the book I wanted, I also waited for the nurse who worked at the hospital where Refald was being treated to come out of the hospital gate, refald hid behind a large tree across the street to protect me and keep watch if anything bad happened to me.
Refald told me that every 17:30, the nurse came home in a taxi. Today the doctor who used to follow him couldn't drive him because he had night duty, so here's my chance to hand over a letter from her mother that I've put in the novel I just bought.
“Suster,” call me to the nurse before she exits the gate.
“Iya, is there Miss?” tanyakanya.
I opened my bag and handed the novel with a letter to the nun.
“What is this, Miss?” ask the sister again.
“This is a gift from me, Sister. Thank you for helping me take care of my husband. But, I'd like to read it at home, not here. I'm sure the sisters would love to read this book.” I gave a book of novels entitled ‘Messages from Ibu’ to the sisters who still look confused.
Despite not knowing what my purpose was, he accepted the novel. “Thank you very much, Miss. Actually, you don't have to go this far. It is my duty and obligation to help all patients in this hospital.”
“It's okay, Sus. I'm glad you would accept my gift. Well then, excuse me, don't forget to read it, Sus. See you tomorrow.” I resigned to go into the hospital yard and went straight to Refald's hospital room.
I was surprised that Refald was suddenly in his room lying on his bed.
“So soon you're here? You're showing off your powers again?” sindirku.
“What's the point of having power if not used, Honey.” Refald grinned at me and walked quickly over to me. He took me and put me on his bed, and he lay down beside me. “You're very ingenious, Honey. No one knew the novel contained a message from her mother. Now, we just hope he wants to read the contents of his message.”
“Ehm, hopefully, he wants to read the contents of a message from his late mother,”. I thought about what happened and what the message was about. I doubt Refald would answer me if I asked him directly.
“Fine, you don't need to know, Honey. Because, if you know what the message is, then you will cry and be angry,” said Refald. Of course he knows what answer I want. Because he can read my mind, one of the powers of Refald that I hate the most. Reading minds!
What Refald said may be true, I should not need to know so that I do not have to interfere with the affairs of the invisible beings, the important thing is that my task is completed and that Sun no longer bothers me.
Now, the time has begun to enter the evening grove where, a time like this is the right time for astral beings to come out of their nests and wander everywhere.
I still felt at home in Refald's bed and hugged him because there were so many ghosts milling around. Suddenly the hospital that had been quiet suddenly crowded like a market due to the emergence of all invisible creatures that out of nowhere they came from.
Again, Refald was right. This hospital is a nest of ghosts. It's only fair that our fathers want me to stay by Refald's side. Turns out this is the reason.
***
Refald kept his word, right at midnight he woke me up and started taking me around this hospital. The gripping atmosphere of horror made my hair stand up, a place that had been crowded filled with many ghosts milling about, now suddenly quiet.
So that I wouldn't be nervous, Refald kept holding my hand tightly. All the hospital residents were in deep sleep, only a few guards patrolling occasionally surrounded the entire hospital using their flashlights. It seemed like those guards were already used to the gripping atmosphere in this hospital. Maybe even the guards were friends with the ghosts here.
“You passed the first stage,” Refald said when we reached the end of the hospital hallway in the back of the building.
“I don't see many ghosts in this place, do they hide from seeing you? Or are they sleeping?” I asked Refald.
“Ehm, they go where they like. Come with me for your second stage exam.”
“Why do I feel you're testing my guts. Just tell me this is a guts test!” grumbling.
“Different, Honey. If it's a test of guts, I've left you alone here and will only come back if you're not strong enough to be in this place alone. In fact, I always accompany you.”
Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps of people running. As fast as lightning, Refald pulled me into a dark room and shut the door. I was surprised and about to scream when I realized that there was where I and Refald were now, but he smothered my mouth with his palm so that I would not scream, but replace my wide-eyed.
How not? This room is a morgue and there are a lot of bodies that are stretched stiff in this room. I wanted to run out of this place, but Refald's hands blocked me and hugged me tightly so that I would be calmer.
“Honey, calm yourself. There I am, you'll be fine as long as you're with me, trust me. Just shut up and listen to what's going on out there. I also began to calm down a little when I saw Refald's gaze that was soothing to my heart. I catch my breath and act relaxed as if I were in the sauna room.
Faintly from outside, I heard the sound of the shouting of two people arguing. Refald opened the door of this room a little and we peeked and eavesdropped on their conversation from behind the door.
How shocked I was to close my hands in front of my gaping mouth. “Isn't that .. is Sista's nurse and Raska's doctor? What are they doing?”
I saw an astounding sight. Doctor Raska was under the floor holding the hand of Sister Sista who was about to attack her with a knife.
Not wrong anymore! The nurse was about to kill Dr. Raska, but the doctor tried to hold the knife to avoid hitting his body. They both attack each other and defend each other.
“What is this Refald? Are we just gonna stay here?” ask me with was was was. Fear, panic and tension attacked me instantly, but Refald did not answer my question. He just stared intently at the shocking situation as if he was thinking of something.
