BETWEEN THE RAIN
Rain cannot wipe away tears
Mentari welcomes, the sun has risen to show its light the weather today is so bright but not as bright as the mood of Syila.
Syila was still lying on her bed he felt a dizziness that was very disturbing him, Syila also stood up to take a piece of medicine that he had been drinking regularly, regularly, his breath gasping could not bear the pain he had on him. He immediately sipped the medicine with a glass of water until it entered his body, after swallowing some of the medicine, Syila returned to lie down to try to neutralize the pain she felt at this time and after that she would go down for breakfast.
"Why did you wake up so long?" Ask Shala who is sitting at the table for breakfast together
"Sister bad luck woke up" said Syila who just arrived
"Sadness because last night ran out with his girlfriend" continued his mother who came while carrying chicken soup.
"What the hell mah, last night he just said doang and we did not date mah" said Syila denied
"Wah has not been dating means again PDKT yes" teased Syala who followed.
"Oh no, we are just classmates" said Syila Cuek because tired of being cornered by her mother and sister.
"Yes, don't you have to pout dong, better mop the breakfast?" Timpal mama saw the behavior of his son who was upset with him.
"Next time introduce mama to him so you can give her blessing"mama's tease again to Syila
"Apaan sih ma" said Syila cuek and continued eating again.
They also had breakfast together at one table, so the real family had to spend a lot of time together. After breakfast Syila did her job as a girl, which is cleaning the house, while her mother went to check out the restaurant that she had made her branches in various places.
Afternoon has come to replace the morning, the weather today was very sunny but the afternoon the weather was even cloudy like it was going to rain, Syila did like the rain but for this time Syila did not touch it, he refused to leave the room. The rain that came was not only water but also strong winds and lightning that made Syila afraid. The rain that he had always liked was not like this. Syila chose to sleep in her room until the night before, When she woke up the rain that she had seen was still the same as not stopping at all, when Syila looked out the window she remembered her mother who was out there and had not returned when she had left this morning.
Syila chose to sit in front of the tv but did not turn it on, Syila waited for the arrival of her mother until the clock showed at 10 pm. Syila's worry grew when she called her mother but was not raised
"Hopefully mommy is okay" muttered Syila who is still faithfully waiting. Until a phone call came in at his phone number that he did not know
"Hello" uacp Syila while raising a call on her phone
"Hello, is this really Syila the daughter of Linda's mother" asked the man from the phone who turned out to be a nun.
"Yes right" said Syila
"We from the hospital would like to inform you that your mother was in an accident and is now critically ill in the hospital" the nurse explained. Syila's body was struck by lightning he was helpless to hear it all his body was weak like there was no energy. This morning he joked with his mother.
"Sa..I will be there soon" replied Syila trembling. As soon as Shila went to Shala's room to tell her what had happened
"Sign wakes up" Syila said shaking her sister's body with a hoarse voice
"What is the matter" asked Shala who finally woke up from her sleep
"Mama Scarf accident and now in the hospital. Do you dare to be home alone tonight, sister will go to the hospital" explained Syila
"What's? Mama accident. Syala wants to come to the hospital sak" said Syala crying to hear that her mother was in an accident
"It's late and it's raining outside, you're home" Syila said
"Tomorrow you brother take us both to the hospital, but now let brother himself. You pray for your mother from here only" said Syila reassured
"Yes already. But if there's anything with mom, you have to call Syala immediately" said Syala obeyed her brother's order to stay at home
"Yes. Brother go first you be careful at home" Syila said in a trembling voice. Syila did not know what to do at this time, she was very afraid of the state of her mother. He was even willing to break through the rain on foot there because at this hour there was no vehicle passing.
Syila walked in a very weak state with tears covered by rainwater and her gaze did not go in front of her, his steps were so weak he could not even notice the circumstances around him and he almost stuck the bike because he did not look ahead, fortunately the bike was evasive. The motorbike was driven by Zidan who came out because of a need, Zidan stopped approaching the girl he almost dragged.
"Mbak no papa, if the road see in front of dong mbak so as not to endanger themselves mbak and others as well" said Zidan from behind Syila but ignored Syila. He was still looking down to make Zidan more confused, not to answer his question to look at him was not. Zidan stood in front of Syila to confirm her condition, but Syila first raised her face. How surprised that this one in front of him was Syila.
"Syila" Zidan shouted in shock at the disbelief he saw.
"You why the rainy gini nights" asked Zidan but totally ignored Syila. Zidan saw Syila's eyes he realized that Syila was crying and even the rain could not wipe away her tears. Zidan approached Syila he tightly hugged her body, a tiny body that was hit by the rain tonight so looks very fragile.
"Why, tell me. I won't know if you don't tell me" Zidan said a little reassuringly
"Can take me to the hospital" Syila said in a hoarse voice as she let go of Zidan's embrace. But Syila still did not move at all, she even cried so much in front of Zidan.
"I'm scared Dan, I'm scared" cried Syila in front of Zidan
"Yes I know, I'm here ready to hear what scares you" Zidan said. They spoke with the rain watching two people who were embracing each other.
"My dad used to crash and make him leave for good and now my mom's in an accident. I was afraid and I was so afraid it would happen" said Syila
"My mother died giving birth to me. It's a really painful thing"
"I now understand why you're crying"
Zidan said in a tone that was as flat as Syila.
"Kullu nafsin dzaiqotul death"
Answer Zidan.
"That means that every living thing will die"
"Death is God's decree, so we cannot regret it. We are the same as the corpse candidate"
Clearly Zidan made Syila who stood before him stunned in disbelief.
"You're right. We can only cry but not to regret" said the girl steadily.
"Now I just want to be next to my mama and pray that mama is okay. You want to take me there" he said again
"Of course, but you have to change clothes first so as not to catch a cold" said Zidan staring at Syila's soaked body.
A smile could be seen from his lips that made Zidan's heart skip a beat upon seeing him.
