Chapters 16. Losing Again

Aza was crying in front of a tombstone whose ground was still very wet. It was just his hallucination when he saw Miko, Yang Oko's grandson. Aza had met him several times, Aza barely recognized him that Miko did not say hello and approached him.

Miko is the grandson of Yang Oko from Yang Oko's second child, who Oko is indeed a widower with the children of his late wife who was first called the Power. Miko also came to Kusuma's residence as a child for several days when her father was ill. That's why they know each other.

"Over the years we've been moving around a lot, because lady Gayatri's hit man is always after us. Even though Madam is being held in jail." Clearly Miko, Aza clenched her hands withstanding the turbulence of the taste that made her chest feel hot.

"And these few months Eyang often expressed his desire to return to this city, want to see Lo." Further.

"Unfortunately..." Miko stopped, her thin veins popping to the surface.

"They managed to find Eyang, finish him off without a trace." Aza's cry grew louder, although the voice was no longer heard.

"The dead man was found lying on the floor of the hotel bathroom, police said it was just an accident." Miko's tone sounded cold.

"But I don't believe, even if there's no evidence, I'm sure it's a murder." Aza was silent in tears, lamenting her sadness while hearing what Miko said.

"And Lo did it, Nana!" Although surprised, Aza only fell silent when Miko pulled him and pushed him to the ground.

"All because of you! Although it's not you who did it, all of this happened because of you. Indirectly you caused Eyang died. The murderer!!! You murderer! Damn bearer!!" Aza was only silent even though it felt sore when Miko slapped her many times. His mind wandered somewhere.

"Because of you, I can't live as freely as other children. Who has to move in every semester because of the threat of Kusuma's fucking family!!! And you enjoy life well. You must die!!" Shouting Miko approached Aza again, grabbing her neck to strangle Aza so that Aza could not make a sound.

"A.ku.mm-please... Ber..hen.ti..," (please stop) said Aza with a heavy voice to endure the pain. Because Miko was in a state of turmoil, she did not heed Aza's plea.

Although equipped with martial skills, Aza is still a woman who will be weak when her feelings are weak. Relying on strength was no longer able to because his mind was unable to focus, plus the condition of his body had not recovered properly after the incident that caused his concussion of the light brain. In Aza's mind right now are the swears on himself who is an unlucky bearer.

Aza smiled faintly before her consciousness disappeared, resignedly. If this is his last day to see the world, he just wants to be able to thank and apologize to Jacob, Amanda, and Dikta properly. That'sallthatis.

"Dance!!!" Dikta's heart pounded when he saw Aza lying on top of the tomb, someone in a baseball club jacket was seen running away. Tedjo and Nanang go after him, while Esa helps Dikta check on Aza.

Dikta checked Aza's breath, though,

There aren't.

Then switch on the girl's pulse, however...

Still nothing.

"His pulse is no Sa!!" Panicking Dikta, Esa who was contacting the ambulance was shocked.

"Aza, I beg you... Hey wake!" Raise Aza and lay her down in a flat place, to perform CPR.

Working as a martial arts coach makes him have to master the basic things of first aid in case his members are injured.

In the first experiment Aza still did not give a response, lucky in the second experiment Aza coughed. Which indicates that he is still there, Dikta removed the bra hook belonging to Aza so that his chest feels airy.

"We lost the culprit! Shit!" Dumel Nanang while approaching Esa who stood some distance away when Dikta gave help to Aza, as well as taking the mineral water in Tedjo's car to drink to Aza.

Before long the ambulance came, Dikta breathed a sigh of relief. At least Aza can immediately get treatment from medical personnel. Along the way, Dikta never once released his hand link to Aza.

***

Aza woke up with a blank look on the ceiling of her nursery. Lately, he has become very familiar with hospital beds. Remembering the events that happened to him this afternoon, made him cry again in silence.

Dikta who was awakened from his sleep also gasped.

"Why? Thirsty? Is anyone sick?" Tanya Dikta gently, while rubbing the jellyfish Aza.

"Perse me." Pinta Aza after a long silence in her tears, of course Dikta was surprised not to play.

"You're still dizzy like that, we'll discuss it again if it's healthy." Instead of Dikta, Aza just kept quiet.

"Later, when they arrived." Dikta. He wanted to surprise Aza that today Jacob and Amanda will return to Indonesia.

Dikta had informed the Kusuma family, only that he asked that they not come to meet Aza. He was just worried about something unwanted happening. Aza continued her rest, as the day grew night.

***

Aza blinked her eyes, her head felt dizzy. He had just fallen asleep, and the day had changed too. But why is the light so bright, like the sun shining so beautifully today.

"Wake up, baby?" The soft voice of an adult woman shifted her attention.

"Aren't you home?" Amanda nodded while smiling gently.

"But we just stopped by for a while, we had to get going. Our time is running out." This time it was Jacob who spoke to her, while watching her watch.

"You're going again?" Aza asked, Amanda smiled gently.

"It's the last darling, we're not going anywhere after this." Amanda peeping Aza's tapered cheeks.

"We will always be by Aza's side, he he ..." Amanda's Chuckles.

"Maybe there won't be any more time, we just want to make sure you'll always live well and happily. Promise us Aza." Amanda hugged Aza's frail body. Jacob also hugged the two of them, with Aza's position in the middle.

"When we wanted to see you wanted to tell you you'd have another sister." Amanda said as she stroked the belly of her queen.

"Are you pregnant again?" Aza asked, there was no enthusiasm in her speech. That's just how Aza is.

"Yes dear," Amanda sumringah replied.

"Good good, brother." Aza.

"Honey time" said Jacob, stroking his wife's shoulders.

"Aza, deck... Dear... Please continue to fight for your happiness. Don't let your ego get in the way of the happiness you seek. Brother always wishes you a good life." Without tears Aza fell, somehow it felt like these words were a farewell.

"We go, kid, take Gheon to play sometimes. Tell her we love her very much. Om also expects the same as you asked. Make peace for yourself, cherish Dikta." Aza clenched her hands, trying to get down from the gurney but her steps limped after the figure of Amanda and Jacob who continued to walk just like that.

"Sister, Om... Don't go!!" Lirih Aza who had fallen awake fell to pursue with a limped step.

"Don't go!!!!" Shouted Aza realized from his nightmare. Calling his god's name severalapakali to normalize the rhythm of his pounding heart.

"Night you have a nightmare?" Tanya Dikta who swiftly gave her a glass of water.

"Where's my phone?" Ask Aza to Dikta, deftly Dikta took the sling bag that Aza had brought this afternoon.

"Make what?" Tanya Dikta handed Aza's phone.

Aza did not reply, he was busy looking for Jacob or Amanda's number to call. But not connected, calls are always out of reach.

Until a news timeline appears on his phone screen, he,

Plane Collision at Airport Kills Hundreds of Passengers, Two Are Conglomerate Children.

Aza's feeling was immediately uneasy, her hands trembling.

"Dik.ta, don't tell me that Jacob and Amanda's brother are coming home today." Pinta Aza is full of emphasis.

"How do you know?" Ask Dikta wonder.

"No way!!! Please please!!! No!!" Hysterical Aza, Dikta in the fog and confused. Until his phone rang displaying Vino's name, the man asked Dikta to prohibit Aza from seeing TV or Mobile news.

"It seems too late." Reply weak Dikta.
