Mystery of I bag. I

For a moment I gasped in shock because Arfa who was riding this motorcycle suddenly pressed the brakes and the shock caused it to make my front body move and spontaneously I embrace Arfa's body with both hands.

I teased him a little bit if he did it on purpose, and he just laughed. While the position of both hands has not removed the grip on his waist.

This morning before I met Arfa who was reading something in the classroom, I met Ayu who somehow happened to make it in front of the classroom in our department, I can only guess that it has something to do with Arfa.

We made a small greeting and then I invited her to go to see Arfa if she wanted to, but she refused.

"Later he hunted taken another girl loh Yu"

I said that to him and laughed a little. It seemed like because of my words he was holding something in him that he was unable to express. Then I continue with

"Kalo Ayu gamau, yaudah Yuli who advanced first"

I just intend to tease Ayu who became my best friend, does not mean I have something to feel about Arfa, it's just that... I have a high curiosity for the boy.

On the way we exchanged opinions and some jokes reciprocated. I also apologize if I interrupted her time with Ayu. I also understand the meaning behind Ayu's facial expression this afternoon, certainly as a woman. Even though I've never been in a position like that.

Arfa, I didn't know him very well when Junior High but I always knew he was a class champion and even graduated to be the best number three in our generation. I only know that far. After we entered SMK and knew he was in school with me first, we who were one alumni with several other students became more frequent and closer.

In the past when first grade Arfa was still a quiet student, but his speech ability was good, it was proven when he gave a presentation of material given by a tutor and he did it easily, he said, or I think it looks easy. He still often won classes for several semesters, until he was seen starting to decline when we were in second grade.

But this morning he just got a perfect score in a replay that not even in our ranks could get that perfect score.

"Mas, you're so pinter?"

I pressed the sentence into a question to Arfa, she kept concentrating on seeing the path we went through saying no.

"Ga too"

I regard it as inferior, for I have no refutation for that sentence at this time so I choose silence.

Not long after we finally reached the location, unlike before I parked in a public place. This time Arfa still moves this bike to the front of Irwan's house, it should be so right? How come I didn't think of little things like this?.

After we parked the motorbike on the side of the road that looks safe because there is one motorbike parked there. Arfa tried to give me the keys to the bike, but I told him to take it with him because he'd drive it when we got home.

Arfa knocked on the door with three tones, and her body did not face the door but pointed at me behind her. A few seconds and no reply, Arfa knocked on the door with three knocks and turned her back to the door.

Then not long after that the answer from inside the house was heard, along with the sound of the footprints of someone running towards us. Irwan's mother opened the door and was shocked to see Arfa and I coming.

"Mas Arfa's... Neng Yuli, go in and out please"

Apparently Ayu's mother already knew Arfa? Then my memory worked to twist the old memory where Arfa and Mr. Ahyar once drove Irwan home. 'Oh from there' I said in my heart.

"Neng Yuli"

Eventually the load on my back bag was reduced.

Arfa and Ibu Irwan are still asking each other news and memories of the past. Then Arfa asked how Irwan was doing at the moment. Apparently he was still lying in his room and had not woken up as well. Wasn't it after Mr Alim who had driven out the genie that was in Irwan's body? Even after that, Irwan did not wake up.

Someone came to this house, we heard the sound of a motor approaching. Irwan's mother said that it was her husband who came home from the market to buy something.

He came in to greet me because he saw from afar that there were guests in his house, he only knew me and did not know Arfa. Was the time Arfa drove Irwan when her husband was not there?

Father Irwan brought something wrapped in black plastic, he put it on his desk and sat with us. They told him that Father Irwan's spiritual teacher he was told to buy something in the form of offerings and some panacea water. After the plastic was opened, it turned out that it was true, there were some flowers that were commonly seen in offerings and a small jug that seemed to contain panacea water that he meant.

Accidentally my vision suddenly looked at Arfa's face, in a moment I saw her eyes and somehow a strange feeling appeared in my head saying that it was not the usual Arfa expression. Expressions that show pent-up emotions in Arfa. But as soon as he blinked his eyes, all those feelings were gone and he only noticed our chatter temporarily.

"Mr.."

When Mr. Irwan was explaining what his spiritual teacher said and what he should do. A firm but unemotional voice from Arfa appeared, he looked at Mr. Irwa with a smile on his face.

Arfa asks, was it before, even after he had done what his teacher told him to do and Irwan was healed? Replied no. Because Irwan at first only looks better, but not long it happens again and becomes worse.

Arfa re-emphasized a sentence, did when he found out about it and now does the same wish his son would soon be healed?

"Impossible..."

The word that came out of Arfa's mouth answered the question he had asked earlier.

The expression on the Father's face began to change, he bowed his head probably digesting the words of a teenager who became his interlocutor.

I thought how great this child was, he could give an argument that could break someone's trust and open the mind of the person to be healthier.

"I came here after hearing what Yuli told me. Mister,... What if I could give you the hope you and your Mom want and you would stop following the teacher you believe in?"

The Mother immediately replied with enthusiasm, on the contrary the Father seemed to still think of something while looking at the offerings and jugs he had just bought.

"Well, if Arfa can do something for our son. After all, you do this because you do not know how and do anything for the sake of his sick child"

Arfa then asked to be delivered to the room where Irwan was. The two old men stood up, then walked over and showed us his room. Arfa stood up from where he was sitting, and again, in a glance I saw Arfa as saying something from the movement of his lips, not making a sound and I myself did not know what he was saying. It was just like three lip movements for a sentence I didn't know.

When I got to Irwan's room, Arfa opened the door and said his greetings. Then he told us not to go into the room while he went in and left the door open. Maybe so we can see what he's doing.

Arfa: "From here you and Mom don't come in first!"
