I Believe I Can See Ghosts

Self Adjusting

Philip was completely shocked by all of this. The man was so fucked up that he had to run away somewhere.

While at Enrico's residence, the surgeon is now talking to Kala at the dinner table.

"So you went to school?" ask the man.

"Yes, just now." replied Kala.

"You eat a lot. I don't have to look for lodging here."

Kala nodded, and then he started eating.

"Om, Philip's doctor wasn't bothered did I come?" ask Kala.

Enrico, who was just about to eat, now looked at Kala. It seems Philip's attitude last night had carried the teenager away.

"I don't feel good about it. I didn't want to, but my family forced me here. Because they can't stand all the weirdness that's inside of me."

Enrico sighed and smiled faintly.

"Philip's a good guy, he'll want to help you. But he's been busy lately, patients are a lot. So you're patient, Philip's coming."

Kala nodded and continued eating. Enrico really hit his heart. The problem is he is now a secret from Kala, if Philip is his real father.

"What class are you in?" ask Enrico then.

"First grade High School, om." replied Kala.

"Here are you permission from the school?"

"Yes, um and my aunt took care of it."

"If you can tell, what health problems do you have?. Maybe I can talk to Philip."

Kala stopped eating and dropped his gaze onto the plate. All his life he had told his family and about, but no one believed what he felt.

Plus now he has to tell a story in front of a doctor, which is mostly realistic and connects everything with a medical condition.

"I...."

Kala stopped his words, because in the great sense of doubt.

"It's okay Kala, by the way. I'll help you as much as I can." Enrico assured the teenager.

Kala sighed and ventured to speak.

"I, I can see om supernatural beings."

He looked at Enrico. As a doctor, even though it sounds like it's not deacons. But Enrico listened well.

"When do you realize you can see that?" ask Enrico.

"It's 4 years old, um." replied Kala.

"Cronology?"

"I ran to an empty house, because it was hit by my aunt. Because my kindergarten shirt is dirty, because I play too much with my friends at school."

"You got hit?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"What part?"

"Head."

Enrico sighed, his heart ached hearing all that. He is a father after all. Although Egan is not his flesh blood biologically. But heartily and instinctively, Egan is his son.

"Keep in that empty house?"

"I slept till night."

"Aren't you wanted?" Enrico asked with emotion.

"I don't know, um. In the end, I went home by myself. At home when I woke up, it was dark. I was crying, suddenly a hand touched my head. Our eyes can see in the dark after a while."

"Yes, it took a while for that" Enrico said.

"Well, that's what I saw. The one holding my head was a tall, long-haired figure, his face was crushed and like a charred om. I screamed, I cried, I tried to get out. And since then I've been squirming about things like that."

"Is there something around us?" ask Enrico then.

He looked around the room for a moment, then shook his head.

"But last night there was, behind one of Egan's friends."

Enrico surprised.

"Large height, red eyes" said Kala.

Enrico sighed, in fact he could have denied what Kala said about his condition. But Enrico did not want to be too hasty. He wanted to learn first, what had really happened to this child.

As a psychiatric specialist, Philip can certainly handle the condition of his son. Enrico had to find Philip and talk to his best friend first.

Because since last night, Philip's been completely out of touch. Maybe he was so devastated to hear the news of Gayatri's departure. Because he loved that woman so much, at least that's what Enrico knew all along.

"You eat first, get enough rest. If anything, say the same or ask for help with Egan or aunt. Ok?"

Kala nodded, then continued eating.

"Phil."

Enrico caught up with Philip, who was now walking briskly across the corridor in a ward. Philip seems to want to avoid Enrico.

"Phil, where are you going?. He's your son."

Philip stopped his steps and fell silent. But he did not look at Enrico.

"Take him home to Ric's family, he has to go to school" Philip said.

"Lo can't blame him for Gayatri's death."

"But Gayatri died after giving birth to her."

"It's not her fault, she doesn't know anything."

"Gue can't, Ric. He has to go home."

"He's your son."

"There's no evidence of DNA testing, right?" This time Philip looked.

"Gue took a blood sample of him. I'm ready for the DNA test I mean. Just leave it, when do you want it. What's clear is we have 72 hours after this sample is taken."

Enrico looked deeply into Philip's eyes, while Philip was frozen.

"Lo has no right to regulate me." he said as it passed.

"Phil."

Philip did not answer and continued to move on.

"He was tortured in his mother's family."

Philip flinched and again stopped his steps. The man's breath was now heard hunting.

"Do not see, a lot of marks on the hands, neck and some temples. It's a beating, Phil. We easily know that kind of thing, without the need for people to talk."

Enrico moved towards Philip.

"What you do not pity, your fleshly blood grows without the affection of his mother and father. Where your conscience as a human being, as a doctor. He's sick, Phil. It hurts so much."

The words that came out of Enrico's lips, as if to hit Philip's heart.

"The boy's mentality is badly damaged. You have to save him, before you lose for the second time. Or you'll regret it, your whole life."

Enrico left Philip, and the man was left alone.

Flashbacks

A few hours before Enrico met Philip.

"Then."

Enrico called out to Kala who was then out of nowhere. Looks like it's from looking around the house. Maybe the teenager was bored, thought Enrico.

"Yes" replied Kala.

"Om gonna have a sample of your blood, for a check-up."

"What does this have to do with being able to see the occult with blood?"

"Mm, yes." Enrico answered briefly.

"OK."

When he agreed, Enrico took the teenager to one of the rooms and took a blood sample of several CCs.

Later this blood will prove, whether Kala is the blood of the flesh of Philip or just similar.
