I Believe I Can See Ghosts

Road Crosser

"Haha."

"Haha."

Kala and Egan were laughing amid the excitement of playing online games. At the same time a call notification appeared on Egan's phone, apparently from Chika.

"Hallo, Chiken." said Egan in a crisp tone.

"Heh, just any." Chika sewot while laughing, Egan so join sumringah.

"Why Chik?" ask Egan later.

"Lo where the hell is it now?" Chika asked Egan.

"It was my house, the time at Lidya's house."

"Cie, who likes Lidya ma'am but is not responded to."

"Haha." Egan and Chika both laughed.

"Busy are you?" Chika asked again and again.

"For my games are the same."

"Oh there's Kala."

"There is this." Egan activates the loud speaker mode on his phone.

"Why Chik?" Kala asked Chika.

"Eh Kala, you are now very famous at school" Chika told Kala.

"Famous how is anjay?" Kala replied while continuing to operate the PS stick.

"He is from another city, but the language is like a Jakarta child" Chika said again.

"Kayak's not a county guy huh, Chik." Egan said to Chika, while Kala just laughed.

"Iya Kayak has lived in Jakarta for a long time. Eh Kal, you're now the talk of girls know. Because you succeeded in subverting Faraz's arrogance."

Kala is still laughing.

"What time?" ask her later.

"Yes, and after I found out I knew you. Instagram followers have increased. The average follow me, our schoolboy. They've got a lot of DM me and nanyain about elo."

"So your fanbase, Chik." said Egan.

"Ember." replied Chika.

He was still loyal to his laughter.

"Eh, on the yuk follower." take Chika.

"Where?" Kala and Egan asked at about the same time.

"Children eat at soto pak Yono."

"Where's Kal?" ask Egan.

"Whose Pak Yono?" ask Egan.

"Pak Yono is an astronaut." said Egan, laughing, followed by Chika's laughter.

"Astronauts who sell soto." he continued again. Chika chuckles.

"Oh he sold soto?" ask Kala.

"So it was said to be soto Pak Yono. Hhhh, I'm unyel-unyel too lo."

Chika felt anxious for Kala. When he laughed again, he did not concentrate because he was watching the game.

"You don't want to, Kal?" ask Egan again.

"Come on." answered Kala.

"Yes Chik, meet there." said Egan.

"OK."

Chika soon stopped calling. Egan invites Kala to prepare, then they leave by driving one of Enrico's cars.

"It's okay to use your car?" ask Egan.

"It's okay, my father is operating on a patient. Must have been a long time ago. Let's go back before he gets home."

"Ok it up." Kala consented.

They then drove at a fairly fast speed. Upon arrival at the venue, Kala meets Chika and also Egan's friends from the community. There are their school children, there are also from other schools. Two of them are in college and working.

They eat while talking. Before long, I don't know why Kala wanted to look back. To a place where a place of sale is very crowded in visitors.

Kala felt that there were some strange things among the visitors. Like humans, but with a look that is enough to make the hair goosebumps. Though it's still daylight.

"They're not people, Kal. That's a seller." Chika said in a half whispered tone to Kala. But Egan and his other friends could hear.

"That's an onoh." said Chika.

"Oh which you say there's something like that in the sale."

"Yes." replied Chika.

"When you squirm too" he continued.

"What is Kal?" ask another friend of Egan's.

"Of course, but his clothes are shabby, and his hair keeps his face covered."

"Cosplay is a bad time." chirps his other friend. They all laughed, including Kala himself.

After eating, they go to exciting hangout places. There were several times Kala seemed to see the apparition. But he tried to be ordinary, because at this time he just wanted to have fun. He really did not pierce anything, even though the fear could not just disappear from within him.

"Where did Kal, exclaim the same children?" ask Egan when they're on their way home.

"Yes, Darriel is cool" said Kala.

"Laughter if it's near him."

"Yes" said Kala.

"At that time he did not follow ya, which time we hunt location." continued Kala later.

"Somewhat, the show didn't either. He rarely gets out of the house, his parents are fierce."

"Oh yeah?"

"Yes, he told me to learn mulu muh child. The weight of his life Darriel. Harvard graduate, Leiden University. Darriel's only goal is to be a successful YouTuber. What a shame is he?"

Kala and Egan both laughed.

"His parents sue him?" ask Kala.

"It must be, Kal. His parents also had a burden. When both of them graduated from top universities, one of their children was not straight."

"Yes too."

"Gue aja nih, who bokap graduates in the country. I was a half dead load. He wants me to follow in his footsteps."

"Keep you want?"

"No, I don't want to, I don't want to go there. But I also don't feel good if I refuse. All my needs, whatever concerns me, bokap must be martial-belain.

Kala breathed.

"It's been a child." he said later.

"But it's even harder if you don't have parents, like I was at that time." continued Kala.

"Sorry Kal, your life must have been heavy, right?"

Kala breathed again.

"Gue until I don't feel anything anymore, just flat. Every time I'm snapped, hit and stuff."

"But now you're fine. And it will continue like that. You're in the care of the right people."

Silence time. Even to this day he did not know his father any closer. He could not confirm whether Philip would continue to be a good father to him or not.

"Tiii."

Egan clapped his horn tightly, shortly after he and Kala saw a woman crossing suddenly.

"Rubby."

The woman was hit even though she had stepped on the brake deeply. It was dark, and Egan and Kala were glued to the car in shock.

The place they passed was a deserted road, and now the victim was under the car. Egan felt that he had crushed the woman.

Before long both of them opened the car door and both looked down to check the condition of the victim. But there was no one under the car. No blood or other accident.

The cold sweat that had originally been pouring out was now getting heavier. With his heart racing, Egan looked at Kala and vice versa.

"Lo saw Kal?"

Kala nodded.

"Tap, tap, tap."

I heard a footstep from behind them.

"Gan, I've got footsteps behind us."

Egan stood up, and so did Kala. Although he did not hear the voice, but Egan's heart was now filled with fear.

"He where is Kal?" ask Egan to Kala.

"Gue didn't dare to, but it's like he's right behind us."
