Agreement With My Two Friends
Episode 33
That afternoon the sky began to darken, the hospital felt very crowded at that time, in a restaurant that was exactly 50 meters from the hospital, gathered Edo, Mira, Aunt Stefani and Desti's mother. They have been there for a long time, telling stories about the past and also the situation of Devi and Hengkie.
“Honestly, I don't know if you also had the same accident with them” said a woman named Desti mother.
“I also do not know, if they have a disaster like this. forgive me bu Desti” said aunt Stefani.
“...I felt so guilty about them, I thought they were gone. To find out about them I was so scared. I'm sorry mom, the sense of loss really makes me unable to accept it.” said Edo with his head bowed.
“On the way to the hospital, Stefani has told everything to mom. I am very sad to hear the story about you, I have said, there is no one to blame for this disaster, I have no one to blame, you just pray for them” said bu Desti with his right hand holding Edo's head.
“Mira, why are you quiet, what's up?” ask bu Desti.
“Ahhhh, it's okay aunt” replied Mira by turning the spoon inside the cup that was in front of her.
“Mira is a close friend of Devi and Hengkie in Jakarta, just like you Edo, Mira's father is so busy in the office” mother Desti explained.
“Is she a lover of Hengkie?” ask Aunt Stefani who made Mira like a statue.
“Hahaha, I don't know.. We were also once young right Stefani?” joking mother Desti while patting aunt Stefani's arm.
Mira looked towards Edo, her eyes and lips looking unusual, it was a code, a code from Mira for Edo to have to leave the place with her. Seeing Mira's behavior, it's easy for Edo to know what Mira means.
“...Ahhh mother, aunt..I forgot if I left my friend in the hospital, I had to go there” said Edo who at that time stopped talking about Desti's mother and aunt Stefani.
“Hah... Which of your friends?” ask aunt Stefani.
“Aunty school friend, he who drove me to this place and dared to go through the abyss” said Edo with a smile on his face, Stefani who saw it was in disbelief.
“You rode the motor here through that abyss?” ask aunt Stefani wonder.
“Iya aunty, I go first yah aunty.. mother..” say goodbye Edo.
“Ahhh, I also say goodbye, the day is getting late.” said Mira who was then standing and ready to follow Edo.
“Hmmm... alright... I will also return to the hospital, Mira thanks for today” said Desti's mother full of smiles.
Evening before night at that time, the blue sky began to look black, now Edo has hope, unlike the old days who always drowned in his imagination and fear.
“How are they in Jakarta?” edo asked as he walked and followed Mira.
“There are days without thinking of you..” replied Mira.
“So well..” Edo response.
Mira's steps stopped before entering the hospital, thinking back to her togetherness in Jakarta with Hengkie and Devi.
“I don't think, disappear where you have been all this time!?” asked Mira at the time.
“You mean, when they are in a coma?” Edo asked back.
“...it seems like I do need someone to share, not just with Aunt Stefani, but with a child of the same age, it was much better” explained Edo who at that time had turned his body and looked towards Mira.
“You mean?” ask Mira.
“...At the time we were 6th grade SD, we parted ways and promised to get back together at SMA time, you know what I felt when they left?” ask Edo back.
“Still at 6.30 WITA, I still have time to hear it” Mira replied as she looked at the watch on her left arm.
“Alright.. let's go over there” said Edo while pointing towards a chair that was close to the hospital park.
The sky grew darker and the moon began to emit its rays, not creepy and not scary the hospital. This is the moment Mira is waiting for. He thought, perhaps his frustration would disappear with the reason that Edo would say
“Since my mother died, I never thought I would find my happiness again. Unlike when they Devi and Hengkie, a hope will continue together but it turns out to be separated, when they leave me, I try to stay with all the situations that exist. But did you know that it was very hard for me to take it?” edo said with a disappointed face.
“Their departure is enough to make my world destroyed, every time I receive a phone call from them, this sadness is a little treated, I try to find someone like them, I try to open the door of friendship for anyone. Until the moment where I found new friends, they kept coming to my house, just to come smoking and playing video games without knowing the time, at first I felt my loneliness was cured, it turned out I was wrong, all their concern for me was fake, my school grades dropped and when it recalled my promise with Devi, I had to graduate from that Junior High School with a decent grade to get into Linggar High School. But getting out of the loop was hard, I tried to stay away but they kept coming, I tried harder and harder to get away from them but things got worse, they kept looking after me and my hanphone they stole and destroyed, and I was forced to fight with them and from then on they completely stayed away from me. The plummeting value and my lost handheld phone is the reason why I did not contact them, it is an unreasonable reason, but that is exactly how come” explained Edo at length.
“Why don't you contact them via other media?” ask Mira.
“It was my fault, besides losing their contact and trying to pursue my studies, it all felt difficult for me, at that time my father rarely contacted me, just to ask me how I was not. I thought, it would be better not to have a phone or whatever it is, my father doesn't care about me, it is hard for Devi, but everything I do is not without reason, anyway, I want him to live his days as usual, focus on the ideals we talked about and focus on the lessons we received, that alone is no more” explained Edo with his gloomy expression.
“You are so evil, that year was a very hard year for him, he tried to keep all his anxieties and disappointments before me, why don't you contact him just once..!?” ask Mira annoyed.
“I'm sorry, it was my fault and at this time I am very sorry, in the middle of class 3 Junior High I tried to contact him, but the number is not active, but the number is not active, that's what makes me think that he hates me” Edo replied.
Recollecting that day, Mira sees Devi very busy looking for her phonsel in her bag, Devi's phonsel when it was lost and until now has not been found, there is news that his classmate who changed schools took his phone.
“It's complicated..” says Mira.
“For as long as it is not that I do not want to find or meet them, if you were me, I do not know what you would do. By the time I met them, I thought that my life would not be long, nor would they, that the calamity would cause me a prolonged trauma, I could not take their departure for granted, I'm not looking for a hospital or a cemetery where they're buried, it's all because I'm afraid and can't accept what I think is the reality. All sorts of memories of them I try to live in my imagination, the imaginations I made to entertain myself during this” explained Edo.
“Imajenasi...? I don't understand” said Mira.
“Yah it is very difficult to understand, all this time what I do I assume always with them, to the point that I already do not understand whether it is my own imagination or not... until you come and resuscitate me” back Edo explained.
“My mother has left me, my father does not care about me because of his busy life and the departure of my two friends who from childhood accompanied me, can I take it for granted?” ask Edo.
“...”
“Self and continue alone... tried to find friends but it was used.. I think you will not be able to tanhan with it all, at this time I just want them to be aware of the coma, if there's something they want, I'll give it anyway” said Edo.
“... I just know you, I think you're the same as me, but I was wrong. A friend of mine once said, that he has a friend who is so tough in dealing with all problems, I think my friend is right, that person is in front of me now.” said Mira.
“...”
“Alright.. day is getting late, I will go home..be a person who really knows your two friends, do not run away from every reality that exists... because everything will hurt if you do that” explained Mira as she passed leaving Edo.
