119# Grief

Queen ran down the aisle to the mortuary at the public hospital, where Tika's body was being deposited, waiting for the family to bring the body to be buried where the family wanted it.

An officer just came out of the morgue. With a green shirt and a mask on his face. Two police officers were sitting waiting for the results of the examination of Tika's body.

"Sir! I'm a friend of Tika's, I want to see Tika Sir!" Said the Queen with her cry that sounded so bitter.

"Now?" Ask the police officer.

"Yes sir, the body that was in an accident at the Cikampek toll road!"

"Isn't that woman named Queen? You who?"

"I'm Queen Sir, I'm Tika's friend! Tika borrowed my car to go back to her hometown in Bandung. So, that body is Tika sir." The light of Queen who was still crying and was about to break into the morgue.

"Sorry Mommy, can we talk to you for a second?" Ask the police.

"Can-Can Sir,"

The police father also invited Queen to stand away from Mother, Athar and Raka. They were standing right next to the mortuary. Police are seeking information from Queen as the owner of the wrecked car.

"So you own the car?"

"Yes sir" replied the Queen who was still crying.

"What time did Tika borrow the car?"

"This morning sir, about eight o'clock in the morning or nine o'clock. I just got to my boutique by driving." Bright Queen.

"Was there been a problem in the brakes or anything on the car?"

"No sir, everything's fine. In fact, the car was just serviced sir. I have proof that the car is in top condition and can be used anywhere," replied Queen.

"So who drives or who borrows your car is named Tika? A fella? Brother or?"

"Friend sir, my best friend from Junior High first."

"Do you have her family's phone number?"

"Punya sir," Queen pulled out her phone and gave the phone number to Tika's family who were in Bandung. With a sad and anxious face, he waited for the attendant to record Tika's family number.

"This only?" Ask the police again.

"There's a phone number for the house, sir" Queen said, giving Tika's home phone number.

The police asked Queen to wait on the waiting bench, right in the morgue. While the police tried to contact Tika's family, to report the tragedy that had claimed the life of Almarhumah Tika.

Queen crying on Mother's shoulder. Tears also flow in the corner of your eyes. After all, she knew Tika very well which she already considered her own child. Tika often stopped by to play with Queen since Tika became Queen's best friend, from the past until now. So, Mother's affection and loss of Mother, it is certainly the same thing as she loves Queen and if she loses Queen.

"Well, wait for a surprise from me." The word kept ringing in Queen's ears. The words that Tika promised to buy herself a gift, as a surprise on her birthday. Apparently, the surprise was the return of Tika who returned to the creator.

"Eyeah...." Queen kept crying and regretting, Tika's departure. What makes her even more sad is, it's her birthday. But, his best friend went home without realizing it, without saying goodbye first, without keeping the promise of giving himself a gift. Without having time to hug her whole. All that remains is, only the memory of 18 years of being friendly with him. Just a memory of their trip anywhere while traveling together.

The grief was not only felt by the Queen and her family. Grief was felt by Raka, who despite only knowing Tika for a few months. However, the jolly and kind woman, so imprinted in Raka's heart. Tika is a good person, who always smiles at him. Who always gives information about Queen to her. And, if it wasn't for Tika, maybe Raka wouldn't be able to be with Queen at this point.

The sad news has spread everywhere, the family, alumni of the school Tika used to be, and Tika's husband who is still outside the city.

Everyone felt a deep sorrow. They cry and feel shaken at the loss of a humorous, kind and appreciative figure in a relationship. Be it in love, family and friendship.

....

"It's done, the photo of the car has been sent via message to Mother's number," said a heavy voice from the end there.

Lala smiled and disconnected the phone, without saying a word. Then, he rushed to check the picture message he had just received on his phone.

Seen a car with a police number that he was very familiar with, upside down and looked cringed on the edge of a highway.

Lala laughed out loud. It was as if he was celebrating his victory.

"One has been removed, live a grandmother drop by named Amara." He muttered with a face filled with satisfaction.

Sooner or later, her plans with Madame Amara will be implemented by her errand man. It's just that, this time Madam Amara is so difficult to get her existence. Madam Amara is still at home silent at Raka's house. Madam Amara is enjoying her time as a mother for Raka, which she passed by when Raka was little to this day.

It's very difficult to make an accident happen like Lala did to Queen.

To Queen? Yeah, Lala doesn't know yet that she and her man have been misdirected. The lives of innocent women must be lost. It was all due to unwarranted greed and vengeance. Lala's logic and conscience disappeared somewhere. Unknowingly, he is being haunted by a law that will sooner or later smoke himself out of false freedom and victory.

Lala is an example of a person who is unable to make peace with the past. The example of people who look too much at love and possessions is everything. Without thinking, even though he got rid of Queen though, not necessarily Raka want to return to him.

Jonathan's departure leaves everything in a mess. Though, he just got Raka one more step. It's just that, the child who became the reason for his return, must give up on life, because of the disease that the child suffered.

Frustration, disappointment, unwillingness, disregarded, abandoned, divorced, sinful and so on ensnare Lala. Until his common sense is covered with feelings that he cannot accept with a sincere heart.

Lala is the one who has everything. But do you know us? If someone who has everything has flaws in his life. Communication and family support. Love from family and attention from family.

Lala's parents are already busy with her old age and the illnesses they suffer. Lala's husband divorces her knowing Jonathan is not her biological son. A sense of love that is still buried for Raka who is the best man in his life, he can not yet express. A pal? Lala doesn't have any friends. He is a person who is closed and never feels comfortable with close relationships such as having friends, where he complained. The god? Lala doesn't believe in God anymore. For him, God is only symbolic, unable to make himself happy.

Lala is an example of hundreds, or thousands of people out there. Who feels no love from anyone. From now on, give love to each other, family and brothers. We don't know if there's another Lala who's secretly living in the heart of someone we know.
