The HOSPITAL

Chapter 2. Room 416

After the birth of the little one, Amelia and her baby was moving to a particular patient room for the hospital staff. Because she was exhausted after giving birth, Amelia fell asleep quickly after her fellow nurses and midwives handled all the processes.

At that time, Amelia did not realize that she was moving to a room which rumors were horrifying. Her colleagues looked at each other when they received instructions to move Amelia to that room. They did not say anything but carried out the orders sent to them by the head nurse at that time. one of her close friends, Bertha, who escorted Amelia to her room, was a teammate in her work assignment. It was she who helped take care of Amelia and bathe the baby. She tries to talk to the head nurse to give Amelia another room, but the head nurse says other staff already settles another room for staff. Bertha did not tell Amelia which room she was going to. She just comforted her friend with words that made Amelia calm. When they arrived in front of the room, suddenly the door opened slowly in the wind, they were shocked, "oh, the clerk who cleaned the room did not close the door properly," said one of their nurse friends. However, in contrast to Bertha's reaction, she was shocked and covered her eyes with her hands; while her hands were signs of the cross, she did not say anything, just muttering a prayer. His friends were shocked, including Amelia, "Are you okay, Sis?" Amelia asked; Bertha nodded slowly, but her face was full of fear. Finally, she replied, "I was surprised to see the door suddenly opened by the wind, he said while trying to smile to lighten the mood and situations. Then they laughed in unison, said Grace, one of the nurses who was with them at the time, "Ma'am Bertha, you almost gave us all heart attacks" "I am sorry, I did not mean it said Bertha, apologized.

Why was Bertha's reaction so surprised? It turns out that Bertha has a sixth sense; she can see something that no one else sees, something supernatural and strange. She experienced many strange events while working at the hospital, but she was lazy to tell her friends because they always thought he was paranoid and weird. When her friends only saw the door opened by the wind, unlike her, she saw someone opening the door, a young woman with a face full of wounds and broken glass stuck to her face and her clothes covered in blood; the woman looked at Bertha with unease, like something asking for help!

After taking care of and going with mother and child, Robert, her husband, asked his wife for permission to go away for a while on important business and promised to return soon. However, because she was fatigued, she just nodded and smiled and then fell asleep again.

It was one o'clock in the morning.

Robert drove his car fast through the dark of night to their house to get things he did not have time to take to the hospital that afternoon because he was in a hurry. The distance from the hospital to their house is quite far, approximately a 1-hour drive.

That night feels weird and scary, plus it poured. Were so pouring, Robert is a little difficult to see on the road, plus his glasses are wet and foggy. Robert felt the hairs on his neck stand up, and he got goosebumps "ah, maybe cause of cold," he thought.

When Robert glanced at the review mirror, he was suddenly shocked and startled to see that there was a passenger behind him sitting and trying to hide his face by looking down, but it was clear that a woman in a wet nurse's uniform was in her car. Robert swerved to the side because he looked in the mirror. He almost hit a truck that passed in his direction.

Robert at once stopped suddenly and hit the brakes firmly before his car almost hit a tree on the side of the road. He was shaking and nervous. "Gosh, what almost happened to me?" incomprehensible to himself, looking down and hugging the steering wheel while crying and praying. After he could control himself, he slowly looked back and wondered if someone went with him, but no one! Robert turned on the lights in the car for a moment. He was surprised, the back seat was wet, and someone had occupied him, he closed his eyes while clearing his mind, "ah, maybe it was just an illusion and have not slept and rest, almost 24 hours." he said to himself. Robert slowly started the car and then drove it; his mind was still confused, and he asked questions. However, the negative mind is still tickling his thought. "Yeah, I was just sleepy earlier, that is why I was hallucinating, and I almost got hurt," he thought.

Amelia slightly heard a knock on her bedroom door. She tried to open her eyes, but the knocking disappeared, and silence returned. Amelia looked at the bed of her baby with so lovely, who was fast asleep. She smiled at the sight of her baby's face that was so peaceful and calm. Then, Amelia trying to wake up from her bed to go to the bathroom, winced slightly in pain, stopped her movements for a moment, then caught her breath, and started moving his body slowly while lowering his feet to the floor; well, it worked and started sauntering towards the bathroom. Just a few steps, she suddenly heard footsteps heading to the front door of her room. " Come in; the door does not lock," said Amelia in a stifled voice for afraid of the baby waking up. However, nobody is showing up. Amelia looked at the clock on the wall. The time showed three in the morning; Amelia mumbled while holding in pain, "Whom the hell is knocking at three in the morning, even though the time to give medicine will be at seven in the morning."

"Is that you, Robert?" asked Amelia again. Still, nobody answers her.

Amelia cleans up the blood from her leg that had melted between her thighs slowly and carefully, then put a sanitary napkin for maternity into her underwear; before she could finish, suddenly, there was a continuous knocking sound on her bedroom door. The sound was loud and echoed because her room was on the six floors and that floors not too much patient's room. Thus, it was somewhat isolated from the general patient room. At the same time, the baby suddenly cries loudly.

Amelia started to panic and rushed to her room to see the baby, while the continuous knocking sound at the door made her nervous and irritated. She held the baby for a while and calmed her down, said to the door, "yes, be patient, please I will open it, maybe my husband locked it when he leaves" and the baby calmed, she put her down to the crib then went to the door to open it and to make sure that the door is locked or not.

She went to the door, and strangely, found out that the door was not at all. She opened the door, and the knocking suddenly stopped. She looked out of the room, looking along the corridor. It was quiet and lonely; no one passed, or the nurse went to her room.

Amelia suddenly felt pounding and asked herself, "Who knocked on the door like an i***t earlier?" "Did my nurse friend who was trying to tempt me to come to visit?" "But ah. it is impossible because at this hour they are in the emergency room if it has crowded or usually, they turn to guard while the rest of the others." Or don't the rumors about this hospital true? But Amelia is still trying to get rid of the negative thoughts in her mind.
