Chapter 3 ASLEEP

I glanced to the right and at this point, a man was standing while also facing his phone and two girls were playing at his feet, two children circling him while running happily.

"Who among them is the ghost there?" I asked confused.

"Those two kids running."

"It is unfair. Why can't I determine which of those I see are ghosts? They look like lives. Kaloka 'yan. "

"It's fine." It bothered me and I was still confused. "That's normal in our eyes because they are our kind because what we see in the teleserye is not true. All you have to do to find out if it's a ghost is how you feel. That's all, it's so easy. "

I stopped howling and just looked at that place again. At the man's place the wind suddenly blew softly causing its feathers to stand up, he even hugged himself and easily left that place. The two stopped playing and giggled at the same time.

At this point, I was standing up straight. I noticed the weak laugh of the mischievous person with me.

"That's my favorite thing to do ... To feel!" he said while still rolling his eyes at me as if I needed to be scared.

I was just shaken by their nonsense. "Kids really, tsk."

If it was just me maybe, I might have fainted earlier in the middle of the fun here. These children don't choose a place. What if their victim has heart disease. After all, it's just a hint and not a ghost.

"I still can't tell you much about us because I'm too lazy to speak, maybe next time."

After he said that he walked over to the empty lawn and sat down there. I followed it and sat down as well. I was not surprised when he had his food in his hand again and he was currently chewing it.

"And one more," he added. "People are also leaving and soon this park will close."

"What time is it?" I asked but the look was far away.

"It's going to be midnight."

"Weh? How did you find out? "

It did not respond when suddenly the loud sound of the bell coming from the church rang around, signaling that it was already midnight. After a while, the number of people gradually decreased, and the vendors also closed, so the light decreased. The surroundings became even darker when the lights in this Park were turned off and only the Street Lights were left open, at the same time the bell stopped ringing.

This time I identified who the wandering souls were in this area. Like the two of us with this toddler, they just hang out where they want to go, and the others go for a walk. It was chilling, it was exhausting to watch them. Scary.

Because of the trembling I felt, I just hugged my legs and moved closer to the child with me who had nothing else to do but eat.

To reduce my fear I just looked up to see the shining stars and moon. This scenario is still good, and comforting.

"You know," I began. "I still have many unanswered questions."

It burped before I responded. "Like what?"

"Next time. You are tired, señorito! " I spoke sarcastically while still emphasizing the last two words mentioned. "You, I notice, you don't have the respect to talk to me. E, just in appearance, the size of our gap. "

"Edi, what else is your question, sister?" its answer with emphasis as well.

Because of my impatience, I couldn't help but stare and look at him. "Maybe when you were still alive, you were a spoiled rich kid. You're so young. You look old! "

I heard her deep sigh with a smile of sweetness, "Ate ... what are your questions and I will answer them ..." he answered again but now with mixed respect.

I admit it was just forced but I suddenly felt elated, like I had an instant sibling.

"All right. You're in for the audition, "I joked. "Hm, just one thing I'm wondering ... Why are you holding and eating a chicken thigh when you're just a soul?"

"I don't know, sister. But the experts in my situation concluded that it might have killed me, so, until my death, I still carried it. " His chipmunk-like voice grew sad as he still stared at the food.

I stared at this poor boy. Eventually, I slowly brought my hand to its head to pat. "The cause of your death is serious. Don't worry, whatever the real cause of your death, you will also get justice. "

"Chicken justice? Are you kidding, sister? " Suddenly he giggled I stopped.

"Tsk. Better yet, let's just put it to sleep. I've been drowsy before. " Because of what I said, I couldn't help but yawn. "... where can we learn-"

"Sister ..." he interrupted me. "Souls never feel drowsy. We were not ordered to sleep. We are awake 24/7. "

My two eyebrows met his insult, "Ha?"

So, what do you call the drowsiness I'm feeling right now?

"Apart from drowsiness, we are also not ordered to eat because we do not feel hungry. Except for me who will be with this chicken for the rest of my life, even a few meals will not be consumed. " After that, it even bit into his food.

Instead of contradicting what he said, I just leaned my back behind him and looked up again. In an inexplicable feeling, I was just blown away by the wind and turned a blind eye.

"Ute." That was just the first time I called him by his name.

"Yes?"

"Can I? What could be the cause of my death? " Gradually, curiosity enveloped my whole being.

What could be the reason ... why I just became a soul?

The next day I was unconscious, I just turned around from lying here on the lawn of the Park. I'm already sitting and I still can't open my eyes because I'm still drowsy.

As I ruffled my hair I even enjoyed yawning. "What time is it?"

"I'm here! It's afternoon, sister! "

"Hm." I first tasted the dried saliva in my mouth and narrowed my eyes when I immediately looked at the angry pig. "Oh- you're a pig!" Because of my shock at Ute, I finally stood up and woke up in a trance. "What?! Will you kill me in a panic?! " I said annoyed while still holding my chest.
