Agreement With My Two Friends

Episode 32

That afternoon the clear sky turned cloudy, a boy with a guilty face, faced with a young girl who continued to look at the boy with anger, full of anger, the boy continued to approach towards the girl with his head steadily lowered.

The girl's hand moved, with Edo's reflexes closing his eyes, looking so resigned if he received a slap or blow from the girl. However, the girl's hand clasped tightly onto Edo's hand, the look on her annoyed face turning sorrowful.

“See me” said the girl named Mira with a hand that tightly grasped Edo's arm.

“This is a weak boy who is proud of my best friend” continued Mira.

“...”

Edo fell silent, looking at Mira's face alone he was unable to. The guilt in him, made him unable to take out a word, a girl in front of him like a judge who sentenced him.

“Here you come with me” said Mira who dragged Edo to come with her.

“...”

“Prove to me if my two best friends are right..” said Mira by continuing to walk through the hospital aisle.

“...”

They arrived in one room, a room with enough large glass to see the next room. Edo's arm was released by Mira, with a heavy step and the heart beating, Edo approached the large glass.

For the first time in a very long time, Edo was able to see a hero who helped him 3 years ago, a friend who for 3 years lay critically in a room filled only with hospital equipment.

Edo's steps came to a halt and his gaze turned toward a room, in which lay two figures of boys and girls, their whole bodies filled with hoses and wires, and they, a monitor that signals the patient's heartbeat is attached next to them.

A heart-wrenching sight, the two companions who came to keep their word, were currently lying helplessly, the, two friends who have been trying to stay loyal and keep their promises as the main goal, are now silent.

“Who can withstand the sadness at this time? That parting time is so painful, but the meeting today is so painful, doesn't every meeting bring happiness to everyone who is the same yearning? Life is too complicated, too painful, too draining of grief. This is a true story and not an illusion, that hand, that face and that body, once made me calm, once made me happy and to this day I continue to long for that happiness. Does it have to end? Has God made his decision? No.. I don't want to end up like this. Please...” said Edo in his heart that unwittingly his face was wet with tears.

“Come back... Let's repeat again..” said Edo softly as he continued to hold the glass that was in front of him.

“Edo...” one sound emanating from the direction of the door is heard.

The voice possessed by a middle-aged woman, the face of the owner of the voice looked extremely sad. At that moment, I don't know what made her tears come out. Edo who heard his name called immediately turned his head, his cry became - so when he saw the woman.

“What is it you son?” ask the woman who is getting closer.

“Mother...pardon me..” one sentence said from Edo's mouth that immediately approached and hugged the woman.

“I'm sorry mom” Edo said in tears.

“For what nak?” ask the woman who hugged Edo.

“You are already big well.. there is no one to blame from this event son... anyone no one is to blame..” said the woman shrieked.

The atmosphere in the meeting, already pictured in Aunt Stefani's mind, he could not see such things, he just leaned outside, waiting for the right time to go inside. Edo's familiarity with Devi and Hengkie's family was so close that Devi's mother told Edo to call her mother.

Ever since Devi's mother learned that Edo's mother had died, she had Edo call her mother. However, he did not differentiate Edo with Devi or Hengkie, remembering that when the three did mischief, he scolded the three without discriminating them.

In the room, Edo continues to be near Devi's mother named Desty. Seeing that the two had calmed down, Aunt Stefani immediately entered the room.

“Tante is here!?” Edo.

“Do you not like the arrival of this appointment?” ask aunt Stefani.

“Ahhh... since when I was like that..” Edo replied.

“Sorry mom Desty, for now how are they both doing?” ask Stefani seriously.

“Still the same, no meaningful changes” replied by looking at Edo's face beside him.

“...can I go inside?” ask Edo.

“That's fine, but it shouldn't linger and have to wear that outfit” replied the mother of Devi while pointing towards the sky blue shirt.

The sound of the monitor and the smell of medicine filled the room, the room where Devi and Hengkie were lying down. Edo looked at their faces with oxygen attached, both faces were very thin, his hands were only clad in skin.

“Have you been suffering for so long? You are a strong boy, I can't beat you.. Do I have to be beaten by others so you come to help me teach them?” said Edo who was looking at Hengkie.

“And you.. I promised him to take care of you.. I kept training so that I wouldn't become a weak child... do I have to be a weak and crybaby child, then you come to calm me” said Edo who was then looking at Devi.

“Until now I'm acting cowardly, I try not to accept reality. because I know you guys are no longer there, by seeing you guys lying here, making me want to continue fighting in my life, I know you guys survived until now because of what, you guys fought too right!? Hurry back, we have a lot to do together, a lot I want to hear and a lot to tell you.... promise we still continue ‘Devi’? And you, no, that means us.

Didn't we both promise to look after her? Therefore come back you guys!” edo said in a loud voice.

A few words that just then came out of Edo's mouth, words that fully emerged from his heart. Edo was alone in the room, the three people who were behind the mirror could only see without knowing what Edo was saying back then.

A light with a faint sound was heard from the subconscious of 2 human children, they felt helpless in a room with a locked door very tightly.

“Did you listen to that voice..its voice is similar to that crybaby” uttered from the mouth of one of the occupants of the room.

“Entalah..”.
