Enjoyment Ikhlas
PRESTIGIOUS
Ami, who had just regained consciousness from her stupor, looked dazedly around. Slowly neutralizing his breath, he recalled the events on the field. Only then felt his head hurt and wrapped in bandages, reflexes of his hands touching the forehead.
"Shhhh...." His eyes closed, he fizzed withholding dizziness and a little soreness. His body trembled, feeling the cold sweat lingering.
"Mi..., you remember me...?" Topo asked, worried that Ami would get amnesia.
"Huh...?" Sahut Ami is confused, what does the question mean.
Topo looked at Ami worriedly, he looked up to see his teacher and Romo who also looked anxious. Ms. Santi as the guidance teacher stepped closer to Ami and bowed and thrust a glass filled with water.
"Drink first. Your head was hit by a ball, and passed out. Do you remember? Now, what do you feel?" Ask Santi's mom.
Ami looked at Santi and received the glass. He drank slowly, holding back from choking because his breathing was not normal. After placing a glass that ran aground behind the bench he sat on, he also remembered...
"BLOOD.." said Ami who made the 3 people there look at him strange and full of questions. Then Ami looked one by one, the teacher, Topo and Romo. Eyes locked. As if asking for understanding from Romo.
Romo came forward and stroked Ami's head slowly.
"There's no harm in telling us. Lighten your load, if you're willing" said Romo subtly.
Teacher who understands, then sits on the bench Ami. Topo nodded back to Ami's doubtful gaze, and took a sitting position.
Amipun began to tell a dream that was actually a memory of the massacre in the city.
Actually, Ami's trauma was also experienced by some people who were witnesses at that time. The life of a worthless human being drifts by every day. Some headless human remains sometimes decorate some under the bridge. They were thrown into the river after being killed.
Many silent witnesses are still intact in the city, as are some city area bridges. But few people know its history. Most of the people who were witnesses, had aged and forgotten. Or go and not come back. Or have died.
The dark side of a party that aims for a good start, for the sake of a more developed country. But blinded by vengeance, assume their brother has been seduced by the invaders. And destroy his shadow. Eventually they disbanded because of worry.
"After the incident, my mother and sister were in boyong to a bulik house in the village. But my sister and I stayed at home looking after my grandmother. My father did not come home until a month later. Said the father, he got lost in the southern coastal forest. His entourage split because some people were not strong to continue the journey. During that time, we were afraid of making light at night" Ami took a deep breath and waited for the reaction of the 3 people beside her.
"So you fainted from seeing blood, so..? Not because your head hurts...?" Tanya Topo, concluded.
Ami closed her lips, holding in shame. He nodded and nodded his head. Breath of relief came out of Santi's mom.
"Mother was still not in service here, so I did not know about the incident. Well, there's luck. But you are strong, Mi. Salut's mother. How you can overcome your trauma. Maybe, avoid seeing blood." Said the teacher.
"I also live in the village, but I've heard of the terrible incident from my brother" Topo said.
Romo smiled at Ami.
"Do you feel better after you tell a story? Or is there something else you want to say?" ask Romo.
"No, Romo... Thank you for listening to my story. I don't know when the shadow will disappear. I'm just afraid the dream is coming again, Romo. But thank you for understanding." Ami's Speech.
"Of course, if you have a problem, you can find your mother at any time. Now, Topo... You take Ami home. Let him rest today." message the teacher's mom to Topo, who helps Ami stand up.
"Romo will always pray for you to forget that incident, son. May God bless." said Romo patting Ami's head softly.
They both said goodbye and stepped out of the church building. Santi said goodbye to Romo, returning to class to teach. Romo, who was calm because the problem was resolved, sat on a nearby bench to pray.
