I Believe I Can See Ghosts

Teen in Wheelchair

"Where's dad?"

Kala sent a short message to Philip, when he had returned home from school.

"Dad's still in the hospital, so you're here?"

Philip asked Kala. Because he told the boy to come. Currently Kala is guarded by a bodyguard and also a driver. But the two men could not have followed his life to the apartment unit.

Philip is afraid Kala will not feel comfortable, if for 24 hours monitored by others. It could be that he will be stressed and it could worsen his psychic condition. Philip did not always have more time to watch over the child, because he had to work.

Therefore, if the practice schedule is being undertaken, he might ask Kala to come like today. Then they will go home together.

Because if left alone in the apartment, Philip does not know whether Kala will experience forgetting back or not to his identity and consciousness.

"When still on the road well, actually Kala tuh mager really. Why can't I go back to the apartment?"

Kala gave an answer that contained a question to Philip. He protested because he was told to go to his father in the hospital.

"Just like doang koq. Dad's practice schedule is also broken again. We'll eat first where the cake. I'm worried that you're alone. Want to tell the bodyguard to keep you 24 hours is not possible, afraid you are uncomfortable too."

"Yes, this is Kala again on the koq road" replied the teenager again.

"OK!"

Philip finished the chat, as he still had to take care of some consultations. The patients are waiting outside.

A few moments passed by and Kala arrived. He told Philip via chat and then sat down next to the hospital, while being watched by a bodyguard.

Like the atmosphere of other hospitals, although magnificent and good and many people who pass by. Kala was still bored. Many times he went to the toilet just to urinate, so stressed and lazy he against the place.

Another case if he is with friends of the same age as Egan. Going to the most bored place in the world, he still has friends to joke with or play online games.

"Hhhhh."

Kala took a deep breath then took the phone, and opened her favorite games. He put on a headset and activated the sound on one of the games he opened.

But it turns out the teenager was match with the foul-mouthed bocce. He wanted to complain, but he was in the hospital. They are afraid of hearing and are also disturbed.

Kala finally deactivates the sound, but boredom attacks more. Online games do not help much, because he does not like the atmosphere around.

"Lo play alone?"

A teenage boy who was about his age came over. The teenager was sitting in a wheelchair with a plontos head and a thin body. But there was still a smile and spirit on his face.

"Yes." replied Kala while watching the teenager.

"My name is Joan." said the teenager.

"Degh."

The mind rumbles. Because the name of the teenager is the same as the name of Egan's late father.

"Gue Kala." replied Kala later.

"A good name." said Joan.

"Can I be here?" ask the teenager.

Kala who was still paying attention to the teenager just nodded.

"Lo want to pinch my phone?" ask Kala.

Joan shook her head.

"Gue has his own mobile phone koq, although actually can not. But I'm bossy, so my parents and the doctor get it." replied the teenager.

"Do you have a mobile legends account?" Again Kala asked.

Joan nodded, and gave her the account ID she had. Then they play together. The boredom that I was feeling is now reduced.

"Yei."

The two cheered in excitement when they finally won. After a pretty rough minute.

"Well, you're the MVP" Joan told Kala when she saw the match. Although he also scored high, but Kala still superior.

"Oh yeah, you're out like this not getting scolded by a nurse?" ask Joan.

"Mmm, no. Because I've been going back and forth a long time to this hospital for chemotherapy. There are times exactly a year today" he replied.

For what type of cancer Joan suffered, Kala did not want to ask further. Not no matter or sympathy, just trying to keep the feelings of the teenager.

"Lo has to rest, I'm anterin huh?" kala said later.

Joan laughed too.

"Seriously you want to take me?"

"Yes, I'm anterin." Kala.

Joan who laughed now lowered her face deep enough.

"Lo is very good, I miss my school's friends" he said in a sad tone.

"What if they never come here?" ask Kala.

"Often, I just miss playing with them. Play ball together, mabar games online, joking with each other toyor-toyoran head without having to fear me why-why. Now they visit and joke very carefully at me. Sometimes I find one of them moving away, just for crying."

When silent, he understood that Joan's friends must be sad to see Joan's condition like this.

"Then."

Suddenly, Doctor Philip showed up. Kala looked towards her father. Doctor Philip smiled, Kala was relieved that finally the father came too.

"After you?" ask Philip.

"Of Ferdi."

Kala glanced at his bodyguard who was chatting with a security guard. And this, this,

Kala turned her head also towards Joan however,

"Degh."

The Inner Kala beats. How could Joan move out of that place without making a sound. Even if it is not good, there must be a wheelchair sound that collides with the floor.

"Why are you Kal?" philip asked as if he could catch something on his son's face.

"So I was worried that there was a child of Kala's age who used a wheelchair here?" He asked Philip.

"You mean patient?"

"Yes a cancer patient well, his head is bald." replied Kala.

Philip frowned. Because when he came, he saw no one near Kala. He then asked if Kala was alone.

"You had a chance to talk to him?" philip asked Kala.

"Yes, her name is Joan. Like the name of Egan's late father." he later said.

"Degh."

Philip's heart is broken.

"Follow dad!" he said while moving.

Kala who was confused over the attitude of the father, just followed the man's steps. Philip was not going so fast, but also not so slow.

Until then they arrived in a room, which in the front is limited by translucent glass. The curtain on the glass is open during the day, to get the light.

Pay close attention to the patient lying with the assistive devices inside.

"Degh."

Like someone hit his heart and weakened his soul. All over Kala's body was goosebumps watching all that. The patient she saw was Joan.

"Well, she....?"

Kala can't believe it.

"He's been in a coma for a week. After brain cancer surgery."

The whole joint was like a loss of energy. Philip's statement completely shook his inner niche. He still can't believe it, because he and Joan were playing online games together.

"No way well, this is not possible" he said later.
