    A lot of people say that my sister is crazy, but the fact is she not. She has Skizofrenia Paranoid since junior high school, it means she couldn’t tell the different which is the real or fake world.

    I have a young brother was died about 3 years ago because of an accident. After that accident, we don't have any family who can take care two of us, either me and Kumala.

    Each my friend in the school say that we are adopted child. I cried every single day, my eyes hurt, my cheeks are swollen, and at that time Kumala with her hallucinations pissed me out. I was unconscious when I hit her face. She scream very loudly.

    “Kinasih? Is that you? Why you hitting me?” She said while touching his cheeks and try to hide from me.

    Then I realize, “Oh no.. I’m sorry, Kumala. I..”

    “Did you belive? I saw him, Kina.. I saw him..” she said

    “Him? What do you mean? Can you tell me?” I said

    “Our father.”

    I try to tell her that our father was died 3 years ago with mother and Mada our brother in the big accident. Kumala hugged her knees, her eyes was swollen and getting red because she cried a lot.

    She grab my hand with shaking, and say “Kina, they were here. Can’t you see them? I see him too, our lovely father.”

    “Kuma.. I’m sorry. I’m sorry.. I don’t understand why you be like this, how painful you’re. It's too much pain that we feel, and I always make you feel that pain. I’m sorry.” I said, and I cried.
