Branching Love

Evaluation

"Excuse me. How, has the victim been found?" ask Risda on one of the teams, karnet derrick.

The karnet instead of answering questions from Risda was busy daydreaming to look at Risda without blinking at all. Risda did not get an answer to his question choosing not to ask and set foot towards the edge of the abyss, he said, some teams are seen with safety straps down slowly for the Star car evaluator first and some teams are still looking for the existence of Bintang.

Almost three hours passed by the Star car has been successfully lifted up in a state of no form anymore. Nur shouted loudly "my son. Binntaangggggg" saw the state of the car, imagined bad cross how the fate of the Star, very little chance of survival.

Nur was screaming and crying earlier. Adi and Zay also cried without a sound while Risda did not have a single drop of tear escape from her eyelids, even the look on Risda's face was flat as usual but not with Risda's heart that had been crying hysterically like Nur. The head of the evaluation team came to Zay saying the search had to be temporarily halted because the teams were exhausted to rest for a while.

"Tiiiak. Don'tstop. Please find my son. Find son. My kid. Star" Nur answered.

Phomes. Nur collapsed unconscious. Adi immediately lifted and carried Nur to the ambulance, a doctor and two nurses who had been there for first aid to the victim. Risda saw Nur who was already in Adi's arms immediately approached his father Zay.

"Sir" lirih Risda.

"Search will be temporarily suspended" zay said as he stretched his arms to hug Risda to give strength to Risda but instead Risda turned around to walk towards the evaluation team who one by one rose the surface of the ravine again. Risda immediately took over the safety rope that had just been removed by one of the teams.

"Sir. Don't freak. Don't add to the burden of our work" said one of the team members who Risda forced the safety rope from him.

"You guys are slow. It made me wait a long time" replied Risda's angry snapper, already unwilling to wait any longer.

Clik. Clik. Clik. The sound of Risda attaching a safety rope to his body with a lightning-fast motion. In the lightning fast Risda had already leapt away in the dark of the ravine.

"Deeeeek" shouted almost all the team members who saw Risda jump, freefall down there. "Sir. This is the father jumping the chasm" shouted one team member.

Adi's heart with Zay seemed to stop when he heard Risda desperate to go down alone looking for the Star below while Nur did not know that Risda jumped down to look for the Star because he was not aware of himself from fainted. Adi and Zay immediately run away from Nur just like that to see Risda completely lost in the dark ravine "Riisdaaaaaaa" shouted Adi and Zay who had both slept on their stomachs on the edge of the gorge.

"Sir. Sir, don't get near the edge" one of the team members pulled Adi and Zay from the edge of the cliff.

Adi and Zay were sitting drowning already on the brink road, hugging each other strengthening each other, both crying fear of loss.

The darkness of night, the depths of the abyss, little by little, is now beginning to illuminate with the presence of dawn and will soon be replaced with sunlight that is ready to illuminate. Risda keeps looking for the stars down there. "Runnl, Bintanngggg. Bintanggg" shouted Risda began to frustrate mewilah in looking had been a few hours passed but still could not find.

"I'm coming, here I come, your best friend Risda Zay Akli, come to pick you up to come home with me" her lips trembled with the cry of "sorry to me, yesterday made you jealous unconsciously" sitting resting on both knees while both palms cover their faces for a while. "Bintanggg don't leave meuuu" cried echoing Risda until it sounded faintly up the ravine there.

While on the other side of Adi, Nur and Zay who heard faintly the sound of Risda had felt anxious, thinking about what happened to the stars below.

The sound of Adzan rang. Zay invited Adi and Nur to pray shubuh first at the nearest residents' cottage there, not just Adi, Nur and Zay were praying there but the entire evaluation team and the police were there and were also praying there alternately, considering the cottage room that could not accommodate everyone at once.

Back to Risda.

Risda was still crying as suddenly as Risda heard a voice with the word "noisy" in an instant Risda stopped her crying. "Star" said lirih Risda.

"Be quiet. Noisy" repeated stars that sleep on the long grass while enduring the pain began to sting at some point injured.

Risda was silent for a moment, crabbing left and right looking for the existence of the Star and Risda found the Star that was several meters below again, it's just that Daritadi Risda did not see it because it was covered with tree branches and added lighting that was less supportive of Risda's vision. Risda descended slowly towards where the Star was. "The stars are waiting for me. I'm coming" hold back haru's cries. Risda's cry went from being afraid of losing to crying haru.

Now the Star is right in front of Risda with the sleeping Star position lying closed eyes.

"Star" called Risda "do you hear my voice" clasping the hot hand of the Star. Risda fumbled on her pants pocket looking for hp to ask for help lowering the stretcher down even hp Risda left at home, then Risda tugged at the safety rope attached to her body, giving the code need help.

"Risda, I love you. Please don't torture yourself by loving someone who doesn't love you back. Look at me who loved you so much" opened my eyes slowly and raised his hand to touch Risda's face slowly before the Star's consciousness disappeared again.

"Yes. I saw your love. Keep loving me and help me to take over my love just for you, my best friend's Star" Risda said in tears. Risda continued to invite the Star to speak so that Star consciousness did not disappear while continuing to pull the safety rope so that help quickly came closer.

"The skipper" shined the star.

"Yes. Rajifs".

"Don't say his name. I wouldn't listen to it. He likes you".

"I knew. Don't talk about him, it's not important". Risda went to sleep lying next to the Star and hugging the Star while complaining about what was disturbing her thoughts "Star I am so afraid of losing you, never leave me. I beg you that at any time never leave me, remain by my side until death picks us back to Him" has begun to weep bitterly.

SERIATE...
