Agreement With My Two Friends
Episode 28's
Dusk in the city of Manado, the sun sinks as if finished with his work. However, there are those who do not drown when dusk comes, namely the taste. Happiness enveloped the three young people sitting in the vehicle.
“I don't know how the boy reacted when we met him” said a boy at the time.
“Are we going there today? It's late, I think tomorrow's Mira's proposal that follows them at that time.
“No, I was so upset with him, it's been 1 year he hasn't contacted me, what the fuck is that kid” Devi grumbled with his upset face.
“Alright... I'll come with you guys, but is your rental home far away with that kid's house?” asked Mira who was looking at the dark sky.
“I think it takes 20-30 if drive” replied a boy named Hengkie.
“Hmmm so so yah” response Mira followed the car they drive stopped.
“Aishhhh what is this?” as the driver of the vehicle complained, the driver came down and saw a long traffic jam, the driver approached one of the people standing on the side of the road with a cigarette in his hand.
“Sorry sir, what is this?” ask the driver.
“Oh... this hill has started frequent landslides, maybe in front there is a landslide so that it causes traffic” replied the person.
A hill in the city of Tomohon, a hill that is often passed by public vehicles. The hill is not currently friendly to the riders. The three friends had to wait a long time to pass the hill, until at 22:30 all vehicles can pass through the hill.
“It is impossible for us to go to his house at an hour like this, our journey is much, we better rest first” explained Hengkie.
“...alright” replied Devi with a disappointed face.
The rental house owned by Hengkie and Devi at that time was very complete. Aunt Nufus has prepared everything for them, from the home supplies to the arrival of those who were picked up by her son, a house that is quite good in terms of design and appearance.
“Wahhh this house is very nice, tonight I sleep with Devi well.., I am tired of having to walk to my boarding house, I am very tired, what's more I'm sure the boarding house must have slept” pinta Mira that night.
“No problem” replied Devi briefly.
That night Devi thought of Edo in his bed, his fatigue felt lost with the cold atmosphere of Tomohon, sometimes he saw his mobile phone screen, sometimes he also saw his old photos.
“I will beat you Edo” murmured inwardly followed by his closed eyes, eyes that looked tired that night.
------
Beautiful morning, the sun showed its light through the window of Devi's house, he woke up and found himself alone, grabbed by his mobile phone located at the table and tried to contact his best friend Mira at that time.
“Hallo Mira where are you?” devi asked with her irregular hair.
“Ahhh sorry, I've been in my boarding place, I see you are so slumbering that I didn't wake you, I know you didn't wake up so late, I know, don't worry about me because Hengkie is with me” Mira tried to explain.
“Alright... I want to see Edo today, do you want to come?” devi asked who at that time picked up the towel inside her suitcase.
“No Devi, I have a lot to do, you are with Hengkie.. I will send him back at 12 later” Mira replied from the end of the phone.
“Alright” response Devi ends their conversation.
Today is the second day Devi and Hengkie are in the city of Tomohon, a city full of childhood memories. A time when their happiness is only playing together, a time that will never come back, this city is the beginning where all the disappointment, anxiety, beauty and cheerfulness happened.
A colorful start, a color they are trying to bring back, they know will be different but a sense of longing and a promise they have agreed on, becomes a top priority to return.
That afternoon, Hengkie and Devi's eyes were fixed towards a lake, the lake that used to be where they played, the lake that until now had not changed its beauty, they looked at each other and smiled together, they looked at each other, it was as if part of their soul was returning and reminding again of the wonderful things they used to pass together.
“Hahahaha look at the swing there are still” laughs Hengkie with fingers pointing towards the lake.
“Iya, even though it has been a long time that the swing was there” replied Devi with a sweet smile on her face.
“Two more blocks we will arrive at his house, prepare yourself” said Hengkie with continued attention Dananu Linow.
“Do I look beautiful?” devi asked by looking at her face in the small cerimin.
“From any angle you do not pull” replied Hengkie with his jail face.
“Basic Gorilla sucks, this is your brother why have you never praised me...!!!” devi shouted irritatedly by strangling Hengkie's neck back then.
The house with the black fence, the house whose color did not change and the shape did not change, from the moment they met with Edo and until now, they were amazed by the integrity of the house, sometimes they smile around the house.
“This house, so many memories in this house, is that why Edo did not change its shape and color?” ask Devi.
“It seems so, seeing the state of the house like this, I think he still remembers us” replied Hengkie.
Hengkie tried to suppress the Edo house bell, but there was no response from inside the house. Looking at an old man who was walking towards them from the direction of the house next door, the old man was holding a stick in his right hand.
“Good day, what are you guys doing here, I just saw you” asked Grandpa Supri.
“Ahhhh this we Devi and Hengkie, did grandfather forget?” ask Devi with enthusiasm.
Grandpa Supri held onto his chin, his eyes paying attention to the two young people standing before him, the weak memories due to old age hampering the memory in Grandpa Supri's head.
“Ahhh....!!!!” grandpa Supri shouted as if remembering the two young men before him.
“Does grandpa remember!?” devi and Hengkie asked along with their faces that looked elated.
“...hmmm sorry I forgot” replied Supri's grandfather who suddenly made Hengkie and Mira lethargic.
“...”
“Alright... does grandpa know Edo? Is he home?” ask Hengkie.
“Hmmm Edo well.. he is on vacation with his aunt, I do not know when he returned” replied Supri grandfather.
“So so well..well thank you” replied Hengkie by lowering his head.
“Sorry I want to go to the stall..” said Supri's grandfather who walked past them.
Devi and Hengkie's faces looked very disappointed, they thought today they would meet Edo. It occurred to them whether Edo still remembered the promise they had made, once in a while they looked at the house and immediately left the place.
“Oiii young man, do you know where the stalls in this complex are? Yesterday I saw it was here, has it moved!?” ask Grandpa Supri from a distance.
“Should the shop be in the opposite direction, why is he there?” said Mira flat.
"He's senile" Hengkie replied.
"..."
"Grandfather, you're wrong.. the stall is over here...!!" yelled Hengkie as he climbed back into his car.
In the car, no words were spoken from the mouths of Devi and Hengkie, both busy with their respective thoughts, Hengkie who kept looking out the window of the car and Devi who continued to pay attention to her phone screen.
“Until now, I have not heard from him, to be honest I am very disappointed but the promise must be kept no matter what the circumstances” a sentence uttered from Hengkie's mouth, a speech that broke the curiosity at that time.
“I'll kick him” replied Devi annoyed by squeezing her phonesel.
That day, nothing changed. They try to get rid of their disappointment by buying school and home necessities. Tomorrow is the first day and the day the new students will be welcomed, they hope to meet Edo tomorrow.
Days change however, a desire seems to disappear, they do not find Edo mobbed by Linggar High School students, they are desperate.
Some students were divided up to board a bus, a bus that would take them to a villa where, the villa had been prepared by the school in order to welcome new students.
Devi and Hengkie continued to pay attention around, where when the one they were looking for was a crowd of students. However, nothing they find, until finally their bus runs.
The good weather turned into a very heavy rain, as soon as a child walked past them on the bus, a child they had longed for.
"Is that him?" devi asked by moving Hengkie's arm.
"Ah.. I think it is him" Hengkie responded.
The atmosphere of the bus at that time was so crowded, Hengkie tried to get close but the disaster came first to overflow them, the hill that two days ago experienced a landslide, is now repeated. A wish seemed to be lost at that time, a promise as if it were the wind then, 3 years waiting and this moment ending, a very heartbreaking ending they felt, they felt, it was up to Devi and Hengkie to close their eyes until now.
However, one chance to meet each other face to face materialized, Edo whose half body had come out of the window of the bus could see his two best friends.
"It's me, Hengkie. and it's Devi. we miss you so much." said Hengkie, whose face was covered with blood.
"He Hengkie's.. De De Devi, I'm sorry" said Edo's mouth at the time, the mouth that kept shaking withstood the pain.
Hengkie immediately pushed Edo out of the bus, a window that only one person could pass through and there was no time for him and Devi to get out.
"At least he kept his promise" a word said from a boy who kept hugging a girl, a man with a large posture held a girl firmly in his arms. He knew very well his life would end, but for him a man had to fight, at least the girl in his arms could be saved.
"Devi forgive your brother" a soft voice said from Hengkie's mouth, his face continued to pay attention to Devi who was then unconscious.
There was no sound on the bus, the bus continued to roll and stop under the waterlogged hill. There was an ambulace sound, after which a shrill cry from each family of the victim met the nearest RS.
"Luckily they survived, but sorry, we don't know until when they were unconscious, only a miracle can help them" said a doctor in the ICU, the room occupied by Devi and Hengkie to date.
