It was painful to see a tough boy lying on top of the ward. Part of his body was fitted with life support tools. Whether it survives until when, no one knows.
Tears continuously flowed down the cheeks of a middle-aged woman who was lamenting the fate of her child. In front of him, a child was struggling with an illness. Moments later, the right hand mounted on a tool moved slightly. Followed by two blinking eyes.
"Deon, are you awake, son? It's my dear mama.." A warm embrace instantly enveloped Deon's frail body. Unknowingly, a smile was engraved on the boy's lips.
"You're all right, aren't you? Mom, call the doctor first."
Lia's hand moved to push the button on a wall, but her movement suddenly stopped seeing the head of Deon.
With great difficulty, Deon said a few sentences. "Ma, Deon is so glad you could be here. Deon had a dream to meet Dea Ma, there Dea was very happy. Dea ngajak Deon go ma.."
"Ma.. What does Deon mean? Deon's not going anywhere, is he? Deon stays here with mom, right?" Lia's face turned to panic, she did not want to lose her son back. Enough Dea is taken by God, not Deon. He still wants to enjoy being with Deon.
"Ma.affin Deon ma, you take good care of yourself."
After saying so, Deon's eyes closed again. Lia immediately called the doctor to check the condition of her son, but the doctor gave up. Deon is gone. Tears immediately poured down, filling the hospital where Deon died.
"Deon.. Deons..."
It was not only Lia who felt deep sorrow. Melodi, Bi Munah and Pak Tatang also feel the same way. That afternoon, exactly at 15:30 WIB Deon died in Kencana hospital.
***
After Deon's body was brought home in an ambulance, mourners rushed in. Many of them said condolences and did not expect that Deon could leave so soon. In fact, the man never showed the disease he suffered.
"Bang, I'm both happy and sad to hear that Deon is dead." Echoes when we go to Deon's house. She comes with Melodi, Rendi, Sammy, Nisa, along with her other friends.
"Well, bad lo Gem. Friends die happy." Sammy's chirps overheard their conversation.
"Not that, I'm happy because my rivals are dwindling. If I am sad, I am also sad. He is also my friend." Echoes deny Sammy's words.
The melody keeps the index finger on the lips, saying. "Suuuuti! You guys, yes, it's not good to talk like that in a funeral home. Better pray that the deceased be quiet in nature."
"Know this, even on the huddle again. You don't know if Deon's spirit heard you talking about him?" Nisa scares the three boys. Instantly they shuddered in horror at Nisa's arrogance.
Deon's body will be buried at nine in the morning. The family awaits the presence of Riko, Papa Deon who is in Amsterdam. As with Lia, Riko is also devastated to see her only son leave them for good.
Deon's body was buried in TPU Melati, where Beno was buried. After reciting the prayer, the mourners left one by one, while occasionally reciting condolences to the Deon family.
"Tante, who's patient. Aunty should be strong. Aunty can't cry. Poor Deon there aunt, Deon must be sad to see aunty kayak gini." Melodi rubbed Lia's back slowly, hoping that Lia could recover from her grief.
"Mel, actually a few days before Deon left, he's nitipin for you." Lia handed a letter to Melodi, politely Melodi received it.
*Dear: Twilight Melody
Mel, it's me Deon. Yes Deon, the guy from semester 1 is chasing you. I don't know why, I like it the same way. Obviously, you have a boyfriend. But strangely, I am getting more and more eager to find you. Am I selfish, right? I am selfish. If not selfish is not Deon Adirama his name.
Mel, I'm so happy to know you. If you say different from other girls, it's true. It's so different. Lo unique. But unfortunately, you can't be mine. Why anyway? Because I'm less handsome? Though compared to the same echo of Rendi, obviously my hangover everywhere.
Yes, maybe God didn't do you the same to me. Because God does not want to be sad. You need to know one thing Mel, I'm sick. I have terminal leukeumia. You are not surprised? It must be a surprise, yes, people in my school are like healthy people. Deep inside, I hide a terrible pain. That's all I'm doing for you actually. I don't want to look weak in your eyes.
Oh yeah Mel, I'm also very happy to be with the same group. Although it should be a lot of drama the same Echoes, but honestly I'm so happy. I wish I could go on with one group.
I think I mostly write. Poor you read it. In essence, I am happy to know you and can like girls like you Melodi Dusk. I love you!
From: Deon Adirama*
Unintentionally, tears had already flooded the cheeks of Melody. In any case, Melodi felt like she had lost a friend. Echoes directly hug the girl, channeling calmness.
'No one knows when or where. Because in reality, man will die.'
***
A few months later...
"Woy! I brought you good news." Echoes come with Melodi and immediately horrendous throughout the cafe.
"What? You got a pretty girl stash?" Cute Sammy.
"Yes.no. Guess what again."
"Lo got the treasure?" Guess Sammy.
"Wrong." Melody Say.
"Keep what dong? Echoes get good grades?" Bianca.
"You're curious, okay we'll tell you. We want a fiancee!" Speech Echoes and Melodies simultaneously.
Instantly, his friends immediately returned to their respective activities. Not caring about those two happy lovebirds.
"Kok y'all the usual response anyway? It's our happy day." Melody said a little irritated.
"Ah, bang Rendi is not fun. I told you not to tell the others first. Let us tell you. Nisa's also her own name."
"Hehe, sorry. My mouth is itching to end."
***
The fiancee event held in the magenta park was lively. Simple decorations that blend with nature successfully make both eyes fresh. Invitational guests who come are also seen enjoying the event and the dishes served.
Cheers sounded so boisterous when Echoes pair the ring on the ring finger Melody and vice versa. Both men looked very happy.
"Nis, when are we going to." Sammy envied seeing their happiness.
"When do you want me to be serious? I see you still like weird girls." Cibir Nisa doesn't like it.
"What? I'm loyal to you."
"Feasily go with girls. Yesterday I saw you in the square, where beautiful the girl is."
"The square? Oh, you misunderstood Nis. He is my cousin who just returned from Singapore. The plan wants me to know Rendi. Let him not be upset because of Melody."
"Lied!"
"The truth is, he's here again."
Elsewhere, Rendi was taking pictures with Melody and Echoes. Occasionally Bianca steals the look of Rendi's handsome charms many times more than usual.
"A very handsome brandy yes.." Bianca said to her two friends.
"Yes, it's very suitable if you're with you." Said Bela.
"Gue wants to sift them." Basma.
Neta, who was away from the crowd of her friends apparently stole a look at Rendi's charm as well. It seems like he has set his heart on telling Rendi about his feelings. Whatever the outcome, Neta will try it out today.
Luckily, when Rendi came down from the stage she immediately avoided Bianca who wanted to take a picture with her. As far as Neta's eyes could see, Rendi headed towards her. A bunch of sentences have been collected in the mind to be spoken to Rendi.
"Sister, I.." But the sentence stopped when he saw Rendi passing by, went to Nisa, Sammy, and one beautiful girl who came with them. Neta felt alien to the girl, because she had never seen the girl before.
"Sorry, I was taking pictures first. Don't follow Nis's photo?" Ask Rendi.
"Gue will follow later, because I want to go first." He said while grinning.
"What kepo?"
Rendi immediately realized that there was not only Nisa and Sammy there, but there were other people who also talked to them. The girl reached out politely.
"Hello, I'm Keyna Kirana. Call me Key."
Rendi shook Keyna's hand, introducing herself. "Gue Rendi Permana, call me Rendi."
"Where's Ren? It's my cousin I've been telling you about." Sammy's whisper in Rendi's ear.
"Where's what?"
"Beautiful right? Yes, gebet aja. He's single again."
"What the hell!"
"Eh, Sam. Let's take a photo of the same Echoes of Melody." Nisa immediately pulls Sammy's arm away from Rendi and Keyna.
"Eh. wait."
"Udah, enjoy the time you two. Pdkt just yet." Cute Sammy.
The atmosphere that Rendi thought would feel awkward did not seem to happen. Keyna can decorate the atmosphere with jokes made. Keyna like already know Rendi, but clearly they just know today.
Over time, Rendi felt comfortable with the existence of Keyna. To make Bianca and Neta put on an envious face to see Rendi and Keyna who look so harmonious.
"Key, we're taking pictures of my sisters." Take Rendi while pulling Keyna's arm gently.
"Can."
And, the photo event also took place again. Echoes and Melodies who realize that Rendi brings a new partner immediately throw a million questions. Both of them smiled at the question.
'Likes and sorrows are a dye in life. Both were created so that we could understand the meaning of balance. And I'm lucky to meet you. Because you have given color to my life.'
