40 Days

#1

The heat of the sun is so hot that it makes the sweat splash, the hustle and bustle of the crowd at a bus terminal makes the head feel like it will break. Especially before the holidays, the situation in the terminal will be more crowded than ordinary days.

Maura who studied at a famous University in the capital will now spend her vacation by returning home.

He came home with Medina and Jeny his best friend who is also still one region with his hometown.

The three of them were looking for a bus with a major in their hometown. Until finding one large economy bus that is already quite crowded passengers.

'' We ride this one alone, after all it is difficult to find a bus whose purpose is to our village. Maybe this is the last bus, Medina.

'' Come on, said Maura and Jeni compact.

They began to climb into the bus, looking for seats that fit for the three of them. Each side of the bus has three seats, but unfortunately on the right there are only two empty seats because there is a male passenger sitting there.

While on the sebrang or left of the seat earlier, there is only one more seat that two have been filled. I don't want any of them to sit apart.

'' Yes, you are there, let me be here. '' Maura immediately chose the left seat while Medina and Jeni sat on the right.

'' Well not together, '' said Jeni.

'' We selfy first yuk, here docked. '' Medina who is usually called Dina also invites Maura to get closer to her seat.

'' My parents said, if we take three pictures, because one of us will die. '' Reveal Jeni plain.

'' Ah rules from which tuh, there is-there is a deh in modern times gini still nurutin pamali, said Dina in disbelief.

Maura little believes in the words of Jeni, usually the words of old people in the past there was indeed his truth, of course all there is a reason for his one for the good of the following generations. He heard, it is not good to fight the word pamali because it could be a boomerang for yourself.

'' Kok on bengong, ayoo..'' Medina pulled the arm of Maura who was still contemplating considering Jeni's talk earlier.

But what can make him finally obey Dina's will.

Snap !!

They managed to capture the moment in the old bus, someone sitting next to Maura glanced at them who was posing.

'' Udah ah pegel me, Maura again tendered her back on the bus seat.

Medina and Jeni saw their shots.

'' Yes, it was so good, enough for a memento. '' Medina put her phone back in her bag.

Buses have begun to be crowded passengers, some people who do not get the seat was forced to stand crowded with hawkers who from back and forth offer their merchandise.

In addition, the bus drivers add to the boisterous atmosphere on the bus, they come and go.

Chalk, heat and tightness in the bus. The smell of sweat mixed with the smell of food and cigarette smoke makes the stomach feel nauseous. Maura usually boarded an Ac-based bus but is now forced to take an economy bus jostling with other passengers.

A few minutes later, the bus began to run out of the terminal area. Maura was a little bored because there were no friends chatting, she also started playing her mobile phone. He told his family if he was on his way home, about five hours ahead may just be able to get to the destination.

Just an hour away they, Maura's feet feel achy, if only he could want to selonjoran but of course he could not do. Not to mention next to her there was a person who stood up to block her view to see her two friends Jeni and Medina.

Maura decided to go to sleep, leaning her head and closing her eyes. Her hands tightly hugged the backpack containing her clothes and other belongings.

Hot air in the bus makes drowsiness never appear, Maura just silent closed his eyes even though he did not sleep because of anger and stuffy.

A few hours later the bus entered the rest area, the passengers immediately disembarked to the food stall that was there. They fill the hungry stomach because the trip is still about three hours away, do not forget to buy drinks and snacks to stock in the bus later. Some also go to the toilet to urinate.

Maura and her two friends immediately sat on the bench of the food stall, ordering fried foods and meatballs to prop up their stomachs.

'' Finally he could breathe a sigh of relief, said Maura inhaling and exhaling oxygen.

'' Yes, on a real choppek bus. Most of the passengers, said Medina.

'' If I'm fine-fine, the important thing is that we can go home. It's natural that the holiday is making travelers. Enjoy and sleep well, you know. '' Jeni devoured the fried food that had been served on the table.

'' Boro-boro can sleep, there is a need to vomit, said Maura stuck out his tongue as if he really wanted to vomit.

'' Ih it is not polite for people to eat and vomit, Jeni grumbled. Maura just chuckled at Jeni's pursed mouth.

'' Em the beginning is not sleepy but also long sleep itself, understandably spent last night, said Medina.

Soon the bus conductor tells the passengers to get back on the bus because they are going back to travel.

The passengers began to enter the bus, sitting in its original place. There was no change in position on the bus. Maura had offered her seat to the Fathers who had been standing near her but the man refused, he said let the woman who was sitting he was used to standing on the bus again soon he reached his destination.

Maura could not force, at least he had offered to change position. It is not good also if the parents have to stand while he is sitting in the seat.

The bus drove back through the winding road. This time it does not pass the toll road anymore but ordinary highways, because the area there is no toll road.

In fact they have to pass the road with sharp turns, downhill also uphill.

I don't know what happened suddenly the bus was cruelly when it crossed the downhill road, as if it could not be on the brake to hit many vehicles in front of him.

The sound of hysterical screams and the cries of the passengers not to mention the people outside there make the atmosphere bitter.

'' Allahu akbar..Allahu akbar.., the call of takbir filled the entire bus that began to shake.

Maura restrained her body by holding onto the front seat, completely jumbled up her current feelings. I don't know what to do but pray.

The driver who had lost control also slammed the steering wheel to the left of the road to avoid other vehicles, the sound of the knocking bus rolled was heard very loudly.

Now Maura herself can not hold her body. Especially when the bus rolled some passengers shaken his body, swayed and bounced in all directions.

Maura who was still unconscious began to look around, although her body was still squeezed by a chair and even her legs were hampered by the body of one of the passengers. Now his eyes are still a little open to see some people in front of him is very sad, fresh blood flowing in the head little by little his view was blurred and unconscious.
