I Believe I Can See Ghosts

Ningrum

"Don't tell dad about this, Gan." The changeover points to Egan.

Egan then sighed and looked at the boy.

"Om Philip must have been told. This school is upset when it comes to complaints to parents."

When silent, it means he must be prepared to be angry later in the day.

"But you are calm, Philip would understand koq if you were clearin. Let me help you say, if it's a mess."

"Ok." answered Kala later.

"But you're not the first one, are you?" Egan.

"No, ask my questions" said Kala.

Egan laughed a little.

"Do you have any friends now?" ask her later.

"Ee, there." replied Kala while replying to Egan's laughter.

"Kl."

Someone is heard calling from one direction, it turns out Andy and the other. Egan laughed again.

"There...!" he told Kala.

Kala then approached the friends, while Egan returned to class.

Lo hasn't eaten, Kal." said Heru later.

"It sure doesn't taste good chicken noodles. Because I stayed long."

"No koq, chicken noodles had we happen to still want to be made. So we're finally putting everything on hold."

"Well, aren't you eating?" ask them all.

"Where to eat, you are still in anger teacher" said Niko.

When a little silent, he now really felt a real friendship.

"Wouldn't you go in yet?" ask her again.

"There are still 10 minutes" Andy replied.

"Will not eat?. Or will it be right back home?" Kala asked his friends again.

"It looks like if it's exciting now, the same excitement of time."

He gave me an idea that sounded interesting. They also sat with each other. Before long they were seen running towards the cafeteria.

***

Daytime.

"Father was horrified from the school, he said you were fighting. Right?"

Philip finally interrogated his son, when they were already on their way home. Kala just kept quiet and a little throw away the view to the side of the road.

"When, dad asked. Your ears are still working, right?"

"He started first, yeah." replied Kala.

Philip was shocked to hear all that.

"What did you say?" ask her later.

"He starts first."

"His end?" philip said.

Kala was confused by his father's words.

"Repeat your first words."

"He starts first."

"His end?"

When he turned to Philip, he soon understood what his father meant.

"Well." said Kala while throwing his eyes on the dashboard of the car.

"That's complete." pinta Philip.

He breathed and,

"Dad." she said later.

He said in a cold tone and eyes that were still staring at the car dashboard. But it was enough to make Philip's heart feel warm.

The man smiled at Kala, although he did not return his gaze at all and although he had to concentrate again in driving the car.

"Who did you hit the boy in which part?" ask Philip again.

"In the cheekbones near the eyes."

"How many times?"

"Three times."

"Communicado?"

"He pulled Kala's shoulder, told Kala the same time he went from the chair he wanted to occupy."

"You want to hit him again?"

"Yes, it still doesn't taste."

Philip was a little silent. He is a mental doctor who understands many things from anyone who interlocutors.

"We ate yuk, haven't had lunch yet, have we?" Philip shifted the subject.

"Where do you eat?" ask Kala.

"Emang, did you eat that too?"

Kala said as she looked towards Philip.

"Why?"

Philip asked again, but then he realized something.

"Oh, you think because of the doctor's father, you don't eat fast food?"

Kala just kept quiet. As usual, he did not express too much when near Philip. Can call Philip by the name of father alone, Philip is happy not to play.

"Father also eats koq, but not often" Philip said later.

"The doctor's train was just eating the leaves of the doang."

Philip looked up, though Kala did not laugh.

"That's fine doctors, vegetarians and vegans eat too. Yes, although there are forms that have been made similar to certain foods."

"If mom, what does she like to eat?"

Kala asked a question that made Philip's heart like in an electric sting. Just looking at Kala's eyes had crippled his heart, because Kala had Gayatri's eyes. And now the child is alluding to the mother, who Philip actually refuses to discuss too much.

"Your mother, she likes to eat rendang with sate Maranggi."

"Sate what?" asked Kala while frowning.

"Moranggi."

"Sate what is it?"

"Sate beef that tastes a little sweet, and is eaten with grilled sticky rice."

When he was silent, he did not know there was such food.

"Alright on Google." said Philip.

I saw him for a moment.

"Here, there is a sell but not delicious. The best is at the top."

"Bogor?" ask Kala.

"Yes." Yeah."

Back to silence.

"Is there anything else you want to ask about your mother?"

"What mother..." Kala paused his words while glancing at Philip.

"Beautiful?" continued again.

"Have you ever seen a picture of your mother?"

"Once, but sometimes different people are the same in the photo. In a beautiful photo, the original is ordinary."

"Your mother in the photo is beautiful, but prettier than the real one." replied Philip.

Then silence cried.

"We're talking about something else" Philip continued.

"Why?" ask Kala wonder.

"Dad get him."

Philip made Kala fall silent again. The car they were riding in kept driving, and in the end led them to a fast food restaurant.

***

The next day, Kala returns to school as usual. While waiting for the entrance bell to ring. He and his friends gathered in a corner.

"Kal, you look the same Cindy tuh."

Andy said as he looked in a direction. He followed the direction of his best friend.

Cindy herself is a popular girl in the Egan army. And since the fight with Faraz yesterday, Cindy's attention has always been on Kala. He was in the cafeteria when the incident happened.

"He's a big brother."

Niko said while landing her elbow on Kala's shoulder.

"Beautiful, bro?" ben said with a smile.

Kala smiled back even though thin.

"Beautiful, but prettier is Ningrum behind her."

Kala's friends looked behind Cindy, but there was no one there.

"She was my negur and I talked, just like I'm abis from the toilet. The person is nice and pretty cool." Kala said again.

Before long Kala's phone rang, apparently from Philip.

"Just a moment." said Kala while away, then answered the phone.

"Feelings no one named Ningrum, continue to be beautiful in our school." Heru told his friends.

"Yes, his name is old. Kayak decade of 1980s." timpal Niko.

"Eh 1980 and already in aesthetic name." Andy who had been silent, now spoke again.

"Ningrum tuh vibes his 1950s kayak tau no." he continued again.

"But who knows if there is, a new child maybe" said Ben.

"So we squirm no one" said Heru.

"There are times, when we see already gone or how." continued Ben again.

Shortly the entrance bell rang. They all rushed to class.
