Help my Handsome Ghost

Chapters 13. Die off?

...🍁🍁🍁...

The sound of a monitor in an ICU room is heard. Showing a line seen up and down on a computer screen depicts Andra's critically lying heartbeat.

Santiani rubbed his wet cheek. Staring haru at Andra's body still lying on the hospital bed. Andra has undergone surgery and is now at a critical stage. Now everything is left to God. How Andra is only God knows.

Santiani touched Andra's fingers still lying there. It has been a full day Andra has not been aware as well and has not come out of critical times. He wished he could see Andra speaking to him. He did not care about Andra's attitude that was so stubborn even that made Santiani miss his son.

He wanted to argue with his son. If only time could turn Santiani wanted to hug her body tightly, Andra did not care what happened.

Whatever Andra always said with his stubborn attitude will still make him a favorite son even more Andra who is the only child. Andra's the only hope.

Santiani who was crying as if finally turned her head when someone touched her shoulder until her husband's face, Pafang was clearly visible. A look of sadness was also on his face.

"Patience, everything will be fine. We just need to pray a lot" he said, stroking his wife's back.

While on the one hand if Santiani and Pafang are so loyal to accompany Andra through critical times while friends Andra, Satria, Fandi, Meru and Ucup never appear to visit Andra.

They are all afraid if they have to deal with Santiani who always accuses them of being the forerunner of this accident.

They are all always blamed for Andra's condition like this. Away, that's what they're doing. Stay away from the Santiani accusations.

The cold felt piercing the pores of his skin. His forehead moved several times as glare interrupted his vision. Both of his eyes opened slowly until the whitened light looked so deeply piercing his vision.

Andra even had to blink a few times as her eyes adjusted the blinding light to see clearly.

Andra got up from the cold floor. Sitting with his eyes spread out in all directions. Just a white light, there's nothing here.

Throughout the vastness of the place he saw, where he was not even a path in sight.

Andra was staring in all directions, but there was no way here. Andra could feel if her heart was beating very fast. His body trembled with fear. Why is there nothing here. It looks very empty.

"Where am I? Am I dead?"

Andra looked down at her body dressed in all black, the clothes she had last worn during the race.

Andra just remembered that the last time he hit something. Both Andra's eyes were rounded.

"Oh, maybe I'm dead?"

Andra quickly felt all over her body trying to find injuries that could have appeared after the accident but, nil. Not a single injury he got.

"Where is this?"

"Satria, Fandi, Meru and Ucup. Where are they all!?"

"Where?" whisper to yourself.

Andra looked up again looking in all directions trying to find someone but not a few people he saw. The surroundings were filled with empty rooms that only whitened.

"Where's gue?"

"Hello! Anyone there! Help me!!!" yelled Andra with her voice bouncing.

He could hear that voice echoing in all directions as if he was shouting inside a cave.

"Gue where, the hell? I why?"

Tired of asking and screaming himself even stepping left and right trying to find a way but never get it makes him now sitting on the cold white floor.

It was cut with an empty view and could only sit there.

"Gue wants to go home!"

"Gue doesn't want to be here. Aaaaah!!!"

[Andra]

Both of Andra's eyes were rounded after hearing a voice calling her name.

"Who? Who's that?" ask Andra who quickly got up.

He turned around with his head moving in all directions trying to find the owner of the voice.

"Who is that and why am I here?!!"

[You're dead]

"Dead? I may not die."

[Your death is your request]

"Request? Mean lo?" asked Andra who occasionally turned around trying to find the owner of the voice that out of nowhere the source.

[We are star gods who will grant prayers from people who pray when there are shooting stars. Have you forgotten if you have prayed when you see a star falling from the sky?]

Andra shook her head so unexpectedly and believed what she heard.

"No way. I can't die!"

"Star god!"

"Request! Prayer! all lies. This must be a dream!"

Andra hit her cheek. He could feel the pain in his cheeks. Both of his eyes were round feeling the pain from that blow.

"Why sick? This shouldn't hurt! It's just a dream!"

[See! This is you! You who are lying sick and who are next to You are both Your parents.]

Both of Andra's eyes seemed to tremble. His blood rippled as he looked at himself who was seen lying on top of the cage while his parents Santiani and Pafang were seen crying.

"No, it's not me" commented Andra who saw a recording of her who was out of nowhere.

[Look carefully! That is you.]

Andra shook her head trying to refuse if the one lying down was her, but seeing the face lying down made her shut up.

A pale face with bandages wrapped around his head. Each side of his face was the same as his.

"I really. His face was like mine" he commented after looking closely at the man's face lying there and even Mommy and the Papi were there.

"No way. I can't be critical of that."

[This is reality. You have been absolutely critical and are left waiting for death]

You are bowed for a moment as that image of her being critical disappears from view.

"Where are my friends? He must be there for me, right? He couldn't have left me when I was critical."

[That's true. Your friends never come to see you]

Andra chuckled and shook her head trying to deny the fact outright.

"No way. It's not possible that my best friend wasn't there when I was critical. They're all good."

[If you don't believe it then look at this!]

Andra again looked up to see the footage of his friends who were seen being engrossed in the basecamp where they used to gather.

From here Andra can see if his friends are busy chatting. Changing stories with each other is not uncommon even they laugh at each other.

Apparently without the presence of Andra the atmosphere is still the same. They didn't even care if he was lying sick. Satria, Fandi, Meru and Ucup, they were all there and the screen disappeared again making Andra fall on a white floor that felt cold.

"Gue nyeshal. I'm so sorry to be proud of my friends in front of Mommy and Papi. Mommy and Papi who care about me aren't them."

"They don't even care about me when I'm lying sick. Mommy's just like Papi who's next to me."

"Why? Why I never realized that the more loving I was both my own parents, not my friends."

Andra smashed his fist against the cold wall. He could feel the pain there until Andra realized that this was not a dream, this was reality.

"How do I go with it? I don't want to."

"Gue wants to come back alive. I want to meet Mommy and Papi. I want to apologize to them. Help me! I don't want to die!"

"Lo can hear me, right?"

"Star god! I don't really want to die!"

"Gue wants to live!"

[You can revive it.]

The voice again sounded making Andra smile widely.

"Well, please live me! I want to live! Help u! Please, let me go back!"

[But before that you have to carry out a mission]

"Mission?" andra did not understand.
