I Believe I Can See Ghosts

Believe It's Real

"But yeah, I have to believe the same Kala."

Kala tried to convince Philip, when he was finally brought home by his father. There were no serious injuries, so he was allowed to go home.

"When you need a lot of rest. Don't think of anything else."

"Well, believe me this time. Because it is not Kala himself, Egan also knows everything. We both squirm when the girl crosses the street. Equally fretting when the girl was hit, crushed by Egan. Keep fitting we go out and check under the car, the girl is not there. We go back to the same place a few times."

Philip stopped his car right on the shoulder of the road, then the man looked at Kala as he said.

"Near you there is street CCTV. And there was no incident of anyone passing through. You didn't hit a human, you hit a tree. And after that your car doesn't move again, until finally the police officers come."

"But yeah."

"Srst, enough!. I understand, there are a lot of bad things you have experienced since childhood. And it has a big impact on your life now. I'll help you heal."

"But..."

"Please, please calm down."

Philip kept staring at the prince just like that. But Kala finally threw a look at the side of the road. Philip revived the engine and stepped on the gas pedal.

Arriving at home, Kala looks still upset with Philip. Philip understood that the boy wanted to be justified in his opinion. But Philip only wanted to straighten out something that was wrong according to his understanding.

Because based on reality, Kala and Egan did not experience anything mystical. It could be that in a fainting state, both of them had a dream that felt so real.

Because the impact on their heads is quite hard, the airbags in the car do not inflate perfectly and are a little late. At least that's the data that the police estimated.

"You take a shower, we eat it."

Philip looked at Kala and Kala could only nod. The 15-year-old then went into the room and took a shower.

Elsewhere, Egan had a big fight with his father Enrico. The same thing, Enrico did not believe what Egan said.

"When can you trust Egan?"

Egan's voice was raised, because he was already too upset with Enrico. Enrico considers his son only looking for reasons, so as not to be punished for his actions.

"Where will you believe. You promise not to use the car anywhere until you are old enough. But what are you doing?. You yourself betrayed papa's trust, you lied to Egan."

"That's not the problem there, pa. You are experiencing something mystical. Egan squirm clearly there is a woman who crossed the road, Egan hit him. When Egan came out of the car, the girl was not there. You don't make up stories."

"That's enough...!"

"Fearful father, Egan. Papa just finished operating people, immediately got the news that you were in an accident. Imagine how panicked Papa is. Until now, my heart is still irregular. Keep worrying your parents."

"But pa."

"Get in your room...!"

Firmly Enrico's voice sounded, even he looked at Egan with such a sharp gaze.

"Pa's."

"Get in...!"

Egan then walked quickly down the stairs. The teenager had crossed paths with Marni's bik and hit the woman's shoulder. Until then, Enrico who was still glued to his place heard the door slammed hard.

"Braaac."

"Jo, Egan is big now. He can snatch me and scream in front of me."

Enrico sighed, there was a sense of tightness now filling his chest.

"He's exactly like you if you're angry. I miss you, Jo."

Again Enrico sighed, this time accompanied by the spread of clear circles in the man's eyes. Enrico tried hard to hold back his cries despite the failure. He was in a tired and emotional state.

When he found out his son had an accident, Enrico seemed to stop breathing. For Egan is the only relic of Joan, his friend. He had promised even before Egan was born. Joan was battling cancer that she suffered.

He promised to take care of Egan wholeheartedly, and would not let anything bad happen to the boy.

Morning time.

Egan got down from the second floor and was in a hurry to get to the front door.

"You, eat first." Enrico.

But the boy just stumbled and went straight to school. Enrico was silent, remembering the time when Joan was in trouble with her parents. Enrico and Philip were waiting for Joan in front of the house, for school.

"Jo, eat for a minute. Take Enrico with Philip." His mother chased Joan to the front porch.

"Not in the mood, just keep fighting you guys at home."

That was Joan's answer, and then she went to school with Enrico and Philip. Egan is no different from Joan when angry. The only difference is that Egan prefers to be silent and does not want to talk much.

"Inget yes, play with Egan can. Wherever you can. What you can't do is drive yourself everywhere. Moreover, Egan does not have a SIM. If there's anything about you, or you're causing someone else harm. That would fall into the category of parental negligence. Because you are underage, it is still the responsibility of parents. Wanna?"

Kala just kept quiet and nodded small, without daring to look into Philip's eyes. Shortly afterwards the teenager opened the car door and walked towards the lobby door of his school building.

"So you're writhing that chick crossing the street?"

Chika asked Egan, when the break came. Egan was sitting with the girl and the other two were Dio and Blue.

"Yes, I'm both squirming. I crashed, I accidentally run over because I was in a state of panic. I'm not between the gas pedal and the brake. I went back to the same place. But my father did not believe. He's more trusting of street CCTV."

"Where is CCTV on the road?" ask Dio.

"Yes I'm speeding, keep bumping into trees."

"That's doang?" Blue chimed in on Dio's question.

"Yes, that's just doang. When the officer came, he said I was the same when it was fainted."

Egan's three friends fell silent.

"It's a little hard, too, Gan. People will definitely trust CCTV more. Because that's what they think makes sense."

Dio said again, while Egan now sighed. This was the first time he had experienced such a complex mystical event, and it lasted quite a long time.

At that time, he only heard voices. When Kala first lived in his house and met the ghost of Marni.
