Dark clouds and flashes of lightning filled the sky of Tomohon city, the once sunny weather turned sinister. The wind was every strong, as if trying to lift the roof of the house that stood firm, as well as the trees that seemed to want to break away from the trunk.
“Luckily we have reached” said Hengki while standing looking out the window.
“Very well out there” connect Devi who is also looking out the window.
“Where's Edo?” ask Hengkie.
“Maybe going to toilet” Devi replied with eyes still looking out the window.
In the room, someone wrapped his whole body in a blanket. His hands were trembling, his face was pale and his heart was racing as if it wanted to explode.
Every sound that the lightning produced made him shout loudly, no one heard, his screaming voice was covered in the sound of rain and wind. For quite a long time he locked himself in the room at that time, until at the end, there was the sound of the door being knocked from the outside.
“Edo, are you inside?” ask the girl.
There was no reply from behind the door, the woman started to get anxious with Edo who was inside the room.
“I forgot, he's phobic about this weather. Already, we just go in” stressed Hengkie who without permission opened Edo's room.
They found Edo curled up on the bed, his whole body covered in a thick blanket and his face pale, his eyes as if he had just seen something very terrible.
“Hey you, relax..we are here” said Hengkie resuscitated his best friend.
“Can you get some water?” hengkie told Devi to keep looking at his best friend Edo.
As soon as possible Devi ran into the kitchen, a large glass was taken and immediately poured warm water into the glass.
The rain was the scariest weather for Edo, his trauma still not healed to date, seeing the rain and strong winds, reminding him of the accident he had experienced at that time.
Almost three years friends with Edo, Devi and Hengkie certainly understand the Phobia of Edo in the rain. Edo's phobia with rain was first felt by Edo after the rain fell in Linggar school, the rain fell when Edo just entered the school for five days.
At that time, the classroom that had been quiet turned crowded, Edo who was sitting next to the window suddenly ran to the corner of the classroom, he was curled up there with a face full of fear, he said, his sweat soaked his hair and face.
At that time Edo became a spectacle of children in his class, those who initially saw Edo running to the corner of the school, became very curious and stood up from their seats. One with the other asked “what's with him?” while still approaching Edo at that time.
His cries rang out continuously within the classroom, all eyes looking at him as if looking at a mentally ill person. “She's crazy maybe because of the impact on her head”, “This crazy person why enter in our class?”, “Does this school accept crazy kids like this”, “Look, she's so weird”, <TAG1>, those words were clearly heard in Edo's ear and from then on, the entire student thought Edo was a strange and even crazy child.
Sometimes Edo asks himself, is he really a sick person? Seeing and feeling the treatment of students and schoolgirls made him discouraged in getting along, no friends to share, both at school and at home.
A girl with an anxious face continued to look at Edo's face, her hand holding a large glass that was already empty.
“Edo, are you okay?” ask the girl to Edo who is sitting by the bed.
“Thank you Devi” replied by looking out the room window.
The weather was bright again that afternoon, the dark sky had turned blue, above the sky formed a colorful line, the line was right above Lake Linow.
“Hey look it there is rainbow” said Devi who immediately pulled Edo's arm, to follow him standing in front of the window.
“Long right?” he continued while looking at Edo's face which still looked worried.
“After the bad weather, a beautiful rainbow was created. You know Edo, not always bad things that you experience end badly anyway, not always beautiful things that you experience ends beautifully anyway” Devi's advice with the right hand that still holds Edo's hand.
“So I have to how?” ask Edo lirih.
Hearing Edo's words, Devi made a sweet smile, as Devi's hands clasped Edo's hands.
“Run your day by throwing away all your worries, your worries will only be self-destructive. If you can't throw it all away, remember me and him” Devi continued with her eyes looking towards Hengkie who was standing behind Edo.
“Yes... If you need help, we are ready to help you, friendship is not there to share pleasure alone is not it?” Connect Hengkie by holding Edo's shoulder from behind.
"What we expect of you is your happiness, aren't we here because of you?" said Devi with her sweet smile.
For a moment Edo's face smiled, like there was a huge force from the sentence that Devi and Hengkie had said.
They looked at each other, no one told or coded when they held hands.
Devi and Hengkie looked relieved by the state of his best friend who had regained his calm, but the calm did not gradually long, Hengkie's voice changed the smiles of the three of them.
“Hoi... have we been able to watch Korean dramas?” ask Hengkie in a soft voice.
“..... Uh Gorilla, since when do you like korea-korean?” devi asked a little jail.
“Ehehehehe will live 3 more episodes” Hengkie's responsibility while scratching his head.
"Honestly, do you like Korean dramas?” devi asked again with a stabbing Hengkie waist as if seducing Hengkie to be honest.
“Ahhhh not the same sekal” replied Hengkie shamelessly.
“Akhh to be honest with you, that's what you wear?” asked Devi who had noticed the cloth around Hengkie's neck.
“A.. a.. anu...” Hengie's voice restrained as if in doubt as to what she would say.
Devi brought her face closer, as if making her best friend was wrong, her left eye eyebrows slightly raised, the eyebrows were like pressing Hengkie, Devi looked very jail and made Hengkie more and more misbehavior.
“THIS IS THE RAINY SEASON - THIS CITY IS COLD - TIME CAN NOT WEAR A SCARF!?” answer Hengkie with one breath without a point without a comma.
“.....hmmmm...” Devi's face is flat hearing the words of her best friend.
“APA AGAIN!?” gertak Hengkie who was already sweating coldly.
“It's okay” said Devi, while walking past Hengkie whose hands still hold Edo's hands.
“.......”
“Oh well, before watching, take a tissue and reduce the sound as you like if you cry later” said Devi who stopped stepping.
“One more time, here there is no snow, so remove your gloves and boots it” continued Devi again who was mocking the clothes that Hengkie was wearing at that time.
At that time Hengkie's soul seemed to be lost, his chest was like being pierced by a Moskov javelin (lejen car). A man who always looks macho, valiant with the face of a rogue ala Arnold Schwarzenegger turned out to have the heart of Hello Kitty.
For a moment Hengkie was like a human who did not know the way home, to get out of Edo's room was not able, Devi's words just made it like a grain of dust, he was in Edo's room long enough to reflect on himself and think how Hello Kitty he was.
“Gorila...!!!” shouted a girl from the first floor of Edo's house.
“You want to watch no!!? Hurry up and start...!!!” yelled the girl.
Hengkie walked down the stairs, his body as if not excited.
“Hoi... You are like a child, your ugly traits are so many that I know and until now not scattered, do I want to mention one persa......?” asked Devi whose mouth was instantly silenced by Hengkie.
“Hehehehe already, stop” replied Hengkie who returned a smile and took off his hand from Devi's mouth.
“Hmmm so do not need to be macho or strong in front of me, here you sit here” said Devi as her left hand flailed the sofa, it is a sign telling Hengkie to sit on his left.
The atmosphere was back to how it was, everything looked good. Edo who was back excited was also Devi and Hengkie who were fussing non-stop. The night of the week they spent watching and playing games from 7pm to 9pm.
On the left wall of the living room are some photos of Edo's childhood with his friends, next to him are photos of the Edo family.
Unlike the wall on the right, the wall was only hung one photo, a very large photo with a picture of a man, his body was straight with a misty hair complete with a black suit.
Edo's eyes looked at the photo of the man, it was his father Handoko, his business friends called him Mr. Han or Mr. Hans.
