WOMEN AND GRAVES

A BEAUTIFUL GHOST CLASHING ON THE HEAD

“I will not look for him and bring him back,” said Kumal haughty, after slamming the door of the contract. The young man was too sure, that his life would be more comfortable without Beautiful Ghosts.

Yes, for a few days he enjoyed his solitude. He can freely lay his body on the mattress, without having to share with anyone. He did not have to bother anymore to avoid the bathroom, because there will be no more women who bathe in the rented and make his body tremble.

He does not need to worry about what to eat tomorrow, because from now on he will eat alone and continue alone. He can calmly write verses and pursue his dreams, without worrying about a ghostly figure that is always harassing and disturbing. Yes, everything went well these few days.

However, after two weeks of Fana Ismi's departure, she felt something strange in her. Saban night, he was often cold, tempting the name Fi many times. He had no appetite, and took baths were rare. He also often sees the shadow of the body of Beautiful Ghosts floating around. Fana Ismi's body kept on scouting, like thousands of bullets were about to invade.

I'm starting to miss that ghost. He could not live without Fana Ismi. Even though he was only with her for a moment, however, fond memories had been strewn across his head. He wants the Beautiful Ghost back, and he is sure, Fana Ismi will come back, considering that the woman is a ghost. “He's definitely back, ha-ha, he's definitely back,” his reflection while smiling confidently and expectantly.

Every day, Kumal sat on the rented terrace waiting for the arrival of Beautiful Ghost. Sometimes it gets hot, sometimes it gets cold. Sometimes he was hungry, sometimes he fell asleep. Sometimes he smiles himself imagining Fana Ismi back, sometimes he is sad because Beautiful Ghost has not revealed his eyeballs like constellations in the pool.

He didn't know when to wait until, all he could do right now was wait and wait. He regretted having spoken rudely to Fana Ismi, he also regretted having blamed her for hiding his own mistakes. He should not have kicked out the Beautiful Ghost at that time, but, even though at the cafe at that time, Kumal was really stifled. He knows how, that at this time he feels very lost, beyond the sense of loss to Arin. He realized, he needed Fana Ismi more than Arin. Yes, even Fana Ismi is a ghost.

Then one day, Kumal saw a woman dressed as a patient on the street in front of the contract. She thought she was a beautiful ghost. How happy I was to see the woman, she was like she had come back to life, a smile on her back and eyes twinkling.

I waved my hand and called the woman. However, the woman dressed as the patient did not budge and instead snatched away. I chased the woman and grabbed her hand. The woman was struggling to escape. But of course Kumal would not let the woman go. In Kumal's eyes, he saw Fana Ismi in her. “Don't go again, Fi. Please don't go. I need you so much. I'm sorry when I yelled at you, I'm sorry, Fi. I promise I will always obey your request, as long as you are not far from me. Please, Fi, go back to my contract,” please Please I will have tears of regret.

The woman continued to struggle and did not want to obey. He swung his hand, he tried to keep running, even he also jumped to escape from Kumal's grip which was quite tight and strong. There was no other choice, Kumal thought. He dragged the woman into the contract forcibly.

When Kumal was about to open the door, some people in white clothes also ran on the road in front of the contract. They all stopped the tempo of seeing Kumal drag the woman into the contract. “Hi shabby youth, stop!” yell at one of the men in white. “What will you do to that crazy woman.”

I was surprised to realize that these people could see ghosts. “Do all of you also have an inner eye?!”

“Inner eye? What do you mean, Shabby Young Man?” ask one of the people a little surprised.

“Can you see I'm carrying this ghost?”

“Means you all have an inner eye,” Kumal said as if meeting people of the same fate. “This beautiful ghost is my friend, she disappeared a few weeks ago.”

“What do you mean that crazy woman is your friend? Are you crazy, Old Young Man?”

“Crazy? Cinnamon? Did you guys call me crazy?”

“Of course. What kind of person would want to befriend a madman who ran away from a mental institution. If not crazy, let alone his name?” satirize one of the men in white. They were astonished to see Kumal's strange behavior. He suspected that Kumal also had a psychiatric illness.

And Kumal is more heard. He went back to check who he was really dragging. He rubbed his eyes, as he began to realize that the woman was not Fana Ismi, he fell backward in surprise.

“Why are you now, Young Man Shabby?” ask the man in white again, seeing the change of Kumal's countenance, from sparkling to fear.

“Are you all nurses from a mental hospital?” ask Kumal later.

“Of course.”

I also prostrated to admit his mistake. “I'm sorry, I thought that woman was my friend, it wasn't.”

I feel ashamed and sad. The woman with disheveled hair and a face full of cypress that she thought was the figure of Fana Ismi just because of wearing patient clothes. Turns out he's just a madman running from a mental hospital and being chased by nurses. He was ashamed of wrong thinking. He also grieves the fact that Beautiful Ghosts will not return.

The nurses took over the crazy woman, they dragged the crazy woman back to the hospital. They passed from the presence of Kumal, though still suspicious, that Kumal also had a psychiatric illness. Well right, without Fana Ismi, Kumal really looks like a crazy person who has no purpose in life anymore.

I don't know how much longer to wait for Beautiful Ghost. Meanwhile, the longing has crept up to the crown. He would really go crazy if not as soon as possible to meet Fana Ismi again. He had to find the woman. Yes, he must find Beautiful Ghost and invite him to return to life together.
