CHAPTER 25

All the way from the top to Jakarta I kept thinking about the writing behind my mother's photo. Is this a hint from my father to me. I also remembered the flat-faced female ghost words about mother and mental hospital.

What mother's relationship to the mental hospital was a question I was thinking about. Is mom really alive?.

While I was busy with my own thoughts, Adit suddenly stopped his car. It turned out that the toll road we passed was jammed, right on the Jagorawi toll road KM 42.

It turned out that the cause of the traffic jam was an accident involving two cars. I hope there are no casualties. Then from a distance I heard the sound of ambulance sirens. I don't know why my already uncomfortable feelings are getting so bad. I don't like being near the accident scene.

"It will surely be stuck for a long time." Complaints Amel who sat in the back with Bayu.

After Amel said that I suddenly saw a large container truck speeding towards the car in front of me, it continued to drive by hitting several cars and trucks in front of it. I saw a car roll over and burn and I also saw people inside burn alive. I could only watch all of that, Amel was already screaming hysterically before fainting.

After the container truck stopped after crashing into about Ten vehicles in front of it, Adit and Bayu exited the car to help the victims. Before going out Adit told me to wait in the car while keeping Amel who fainted due to shock. I was really trembling too.

While I was sitting in the back corner guarding Amel, I saw people with faces and bodies full of wounds walking past my car. I know they're not human anymore, their condition is really terrible. But what was most horrifying was the sighting of the victim who was burned alive inside his car. He was now standing right next to my car, his body charred with some skin peeling off as well. He looked at me as if he was angry, as if he did not accept that he should be the victim. I turned my face to the side because I could not see the sighting, but when I turned my face I saw a face with one eyeball coming out of its sockets and a head that was split in two showing the inside of its brain. I also reflexively screamed in shock, not only scared but also nauseous.

*****

I arrived at Om Bagas' house when it was night, I chatted briefly with Om Bagas and Sella about the accident that had been crowded in the news on the TV station.

Then I went to my room, I missed my room. After cleaning the things that I brought to the top, I also took a shower. Because of the appearance of the accident victim earlier I kept shuddering. Remembering the head being split in half and the charred body made me not want to stay in the bathroom for long.

After I finished taking a shower and changed into my nightgown, I took a picture of my mother in the bag. The photo Adit took at home. I keep reading the words behind my mother's photo. Do I have to go to this mental hospital to make sure that mom is alive or has been treated there . But I better not talk to Om Bagas first, I better find out first about this truth.
