I smiled looking at these two lovebirds who are different in nature. It turns out that their love all this time was not clapping one hand. They just hide from each other and refuse to be honest. And unfortunately, Liya as an innocent human being had to be the victim.
FLASHBACK ON (A FEW YEARS AGO, BEFORE THE FIRE)
AUTHOR POV
As usual, at 17:00, Liya had to be ready in the kitchen, to cook and clean the house. All the ingredients that he would cook had already been taken in his father's garden before returning home this afternoon. There are cayenne pepper, palo fruit, ginger, turmeric to jackfruit that will be gulai already he took.
With great difficulty, Liya reached for the jackfruit that was on the tree branch, as had been the ahlian of the old village children, they could do everything without the need for the help of tools. If people today take something from a tree branch in a reachable way using a fruit picker. Unlike Liya in her time, she climbed straight up to the tree branch, choosing which one she would bully.
After everything was done, he put it out in the bag he was carrying, Liya tied a bundle of dried coconut leaves that were ready to be burned and put into a furnace that already had wood arranged to prepare to be burned. Well, the pepper of that era whose name is gas stove still does not exist in the village. Cook should use the wood you are looking for in forests and fields.
Just about to start a fire, Joints suddenly came from behind Liya and directly pulled the collar of her sister's shirt by force.
As a result, the match that had hurt it fell on the washcloth that was beside the Joints. Neither Liya nor Jendi noticed where the match had landed.
"You're satisfied HUH! Makes me bad in Bima's eyes? What the fuck is this sister of yours! Why always trouble me! I'm sick of you! Fuck you!" liya's body slammed firmly onto the floor made of the plank.
Liya bit her lower lip holding her hip which hurt from landing firmly and unprepared.
"What does brother mean?" Liya who actually did not understand why her brother was angry again, asked instead.
"Don't be a prick! Yesterday you said to Bima, if I ngancem and hit you? Why!," Liya took one of the ginger that Liya had picked up in the garden and threw it in Liya's face.
"Liya no ngadu brother, why do you hate Liya so much? Though in the past, big brother loved Liya very much," Liya finally issued a question that had been stuck in the throat.
"You deserve to hate! You have made my father die, just because of your nolongin who almost fell abysmal because of your own flirtation! The rule is you die! Not my father! And now you want to take the guy I like? Don't expect your wish to be realized! You're not a happy panther after making my father die!," Joints reddened, this time he was really angry.
Liya could only be silent and did not deny her brother's words. Because what Jendi said was true, when Liya was five years old, she did not want to stay at home and asked to come with their father who was going to the farm. As a result of not wanting to see her baby cry, Liya's father and Jendi took Liya away.
At first I told Liya to stay and not play around here. But his name is also children, prohibited even do. Little Liya walked towards the cliff under which there was a river, she continued to babble wanting to bathe in the river. Without Liya noticing her legs slipping and she fell down.
But it seems like God still wants Liya to live, Liya's shirt stuck in a tree branch.
"Ayaaah!!!," Liya hung like a clothesline. Little Liya was extremely frightened with a height of nearly ten meters.
"Liya!," the father who heard his baby screaming immediately sought help to lift the girl up.
"What's wrong?" One of their neighbors who happened to be in the farm came to see a panicked-looking father
"Please help me bang, my son is stuck there,"
"Astagfirullahalazim, briefly bang, I had a rope with me,"
"Let me tie it to the trunk of this tree" said the father, who claimed to be Liya's neighbor.
"Dad's been there with Liya, Liya don't cry, this is the father," Dad grabbed the tiny body of his son.
Climb back up.
"Please take my son first" the father told his neighbor.
When Liya had reached her father's hands, and her father was just about to climb to the surface, but had not yet reached the top of Liya's father instead let go of the rope, and the rope was not there, maybe he thought that his feet were already treading right on the ground. But who would have thought, one of his father's legs did not step on the ground properly, and suddenly he slipped just like that.
Neighbor Liya immediately panicked when she saw Liya's father's tube that was free-falling down and right! Kepalanga waiting in line for the river stone on the edge.
"Sorry Liya," Liya said as she recalled the heartbreaking incident.
"Well, if you're sorry, you're going to come back? No Yes! No! And now I'm getting married again, and that's all because you know! Because you need the cost of raising you! He had to marry again, even though his heart still loves you! All this because of you!," Jendi continued to blame Liya who had been cornered.
"Kids! what are you doing in the kitchen! What are you burning? How come someone's a charlatan?" Mom came from the front.
His nose caught the smell of a scorch, while his two daughters did not realize it from earlier because they were too focused on their fights. More precisely focus on the anger of the Joints.
"You're gosong what ma?" Said Joints turning to look at his mother.
"AAARHG.... API!," cried Liya when he realized the fire had already devoured the back door and the furnace wall.
Stupid huh? It's almost big but between the two of them no one is aware that the fire has grown, sometimes too focused on one thing is not good let alone to forget about our surroundings.
"Sister ! Beware!," Liya pushed her brother's body which was almost crushed by the falling wood because some of the stems were already covered with fire.
The name is also the home of wood, it is very easy for the fire to eat it. Liya who pushed Jendi did not think about her safety first. Stupidly, Joints survived, but Liya's right leg was crushed by the collapsed wood.
"Don't help Liya!," Liya sobbed, as she realized the fire was getting closer to her feet.
Joints were stunned, instead of helping his sister he instead became a statue back then.
"There's no time left, hurry out the same mama Sen!," Hand Joints at his mother's reach, carrying Jendi's body running away leaving Liya who kept shouting for help.
"Ma! Sis! Please Liya! Liya please, Liya please, congratulations Liya, Liya will be safe," Liya continued to repeat her screams.
And then he stopped calling his mom and brother, he realized one thing, even until his body and bones were charred once no one would want to go back inside and help him. He chose to be self-aware, maybe this was the reply he deserved for not listening to his father's words at that time, until his father died just to save his life. Perhaps this was a suitable reply for her for daring to make her brother's heart sad. Maybe this is the right time to be called God, his life will be charred with his body just because of his brother Jendi.
"AAAGH..," Liya cried out in pain, as the fire had begun to touch her feet.
And creeping ate his entire body before Liya completely closed her eyes, the one thing she had understood all along.
"As long as man still sees the problem from one point of view, then the name justice will never be created, one day the victim will get the punishment, just because he sees the problem from one point of view only,"
