Mustika Serpent's Skeleton
Getting Clumsy

"So the lights died, when you came, it was alive again" I said, scratching my head.

"If the lights are off, keep the tools installed to Oppa how, brother?" ask Clara later.

"The tool stays on, really," I explained, then rushed after Clara who was busy watching her cousin.

Clara felt Karel's nose, then pressed her ear against Karel's chest.

"Thank God" said Clara.

"What's up, Clar?" my many.

"There's nothing, brother. I just want to make sure. Oh, yes, brother, didn't you call the doctor or the night watchman?" clara answered back asking.

"It didn't work, and I also tried to get out earlier, the power went out" I said, pointing at the microcontroller.

***

A month had passed, but there was no development or signs of the functioning of the limbs of Karel. His fingers just move, never seen. Desperate certainly not, trying to find the best doctors in the country and also brought in from outside. However, the result remains the same.

Intended by me to ask the angel for help, but I didn't know how to call him. It only comes when it is really in this precarious state of being.

"Where are you, anyway? I beg you to come" I whispered in my heart, closing my eyes, like one praying.

Strange things came back after that, a situation that forced me to get out of bed. Heartburn is unbearable.

I was surprised not to be upset, when pushing the toilet door, there is a vast expanse of flower gardens. Variety of colorful flowers, very beautiful. Until the heartburn suddenly disappears. There is also a cloud that is so low, the sense of being affordable by hand.

Slowly set foot, the green grass turned into snowflakes. I was stunned for a moment, then lowered my head while grasping the snow.

"Maybe I'm hallucinating again" I muttered while pinching my own arm.

Then I continued walking, this netra immediately caught a man dressed in all white. His face shone like moonlight.

"Carel?"

The man smiled very sweetly, then he came up to me and extended his hand. I welcome it without thinking, because this self is indeed waiting for moments like this, even though I do not know this is real or just a dream of mourners who always surround the days.

Moments later, the figure that I thought Karel had changed again, not his face, but the wings were growing again. His hands wrapped around my waist, and he took a flight around the park.

Been touched for sure. Not unfaithful to the lover who is lying on the patient's bed. However, I tried to convince myself that the one I was with was actually the one I loved.

"Karel," I said slowly. But again, he just smiled.

I get confused, usually if we talk to someone, but he does not answer, it only happens in a dream. To be sure again, I pinched my cheek again.

"Augh! It hurts!" my lament.

This time he did not smile in the morning, but laughed. His teeth are neatly arranged and white, more shiny than Karel's teeth, because he is a former active smoker.

"Congratulation is not a criminal act." He finally spoke. "But someone who breaks the rules will have their own laws. You shouldn't call me today, because today is a sacred day in Kahyangan" she said, leaving me clueless.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, obviously, I didn't mean to come here. It's just a dream!" kataku.

"It's real." The answer he gave made me angry. Suddenly, my mouth felt locked.

Not knowing what else to say, I let go of the grip on his shoulder. But he hugged me tightly.

"Who are you, why do you look so much like my girlfriend Karel? And why are you present after my loved ones are lying helplessly in the hospital?" I bombarded the creature with questions.

"I'm tired" I said later.

"Never be tired, for I will take care of you always. Remember these words, I'll still be there even if you'll reject my presence" he explained, making me even more clueless.

He again breathed the scent of lavender into my face, before these eyes closed, the creature slipped gently on my forehead. Shut up, don't refuse, I enjoy that even if it feels weird.

***

When I woke up, I was in the hospital again. Glancing over and over, on the edge of the window, Clara was playing her phone. These eyes glared back, staring at the stars scattered in the blackened sky, silent and felt really tired of the events that befall themselves.

I accidentally saw a shadow passing by the window.

"Clara, did you see anything just now? ask her. Clara put down her phone for a while, then glanced at me.

"What, Brother?" the answer is back to asking.

"Do you really see nothing?" many ensure.

Clara shook her head, then went back to picking up the phone and continued playing the game.

The night was getting late, the breeze greeted through the window. Afraid of why-why Karel if exposed to the night wind, I finally closed the window and invited Clara to go to bed.

Geck! Geck!

I heard knocking on the door a few times. Even though the door is not locked, if the doctor or nurse, why use knock on the door of everything?

"Who's that, Clar?" Clara just shrugged her shoulders, a sign of not knowing.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

The second time the knocking of the door was heard. There are no human voices out there.

I pulled myself close to the door and brought a pillow just in case someone stabbed me.

Chequek!

When the door opened, there was no one outside. I was stunned at the door, letting go of the heightened tension and resentment. When he wanted to get up again, the officer who stood guard at night passed by and rebuked.

"Why sit outside, Mother? It's night, please rest."

"L-yes, Sus," I answered a little nervously, not knowing where the nun had come from, who had suddenly been near me.

"Clar, I'm, uh, feeling weird, huh?"

"What's so weird, brother?"

"From my first time in this hospital, I found a lot of oddities. Is this hospital haunted, huh?"

"Ah, sister can, I never found anything strange according to the brother," replied Clara with a small laugh.

"That's it, yeah." Maybe I was the one

experience it, because life is chaotic after getting acquainted with Mbah Sugiono, the magician.

In a heart still filled with thousands of sickening questions, I laughed for a moment, then these eyelids heated up, then the clear circles began to fall down on the cheeks.

"Patience, Brother Rafe. The storm will definitely pass, and Oppa will definitely recover as it was." Clara came closer and tried to calm myself down. He doesn't know what's really going on and what's going on.
