Eight years earlier.
“Dad!” I hugged the man I had thought of as my own father very tightly, who finally returned to our Apartment again after leaving for one week since the arrival of Aunt Mega at that time. “Dad why go not tell Sarah?” I asked with a frown. “Sorry yes Darling, Dad hastily yesterday had to go, you are not naughty right?” Ask. “Not Dad, Dad should see the value of Sarah's report card, Sarah's value is good Well.” I pulled his hand to come with me into the room.
“Sarah, you go first to the room yes, later Dad there, I want to talk first with Mom.” He rubbed my head, and I nodded my head and hurriedly ran happily towards my room. “Where is Mas?” Said my mother who approached Om Alex with a restless face.
“You don't need to worry anymore, all is already Mas urusin.” Say it to Alex. “I'm afraid Mas.” My mother hugged Om Alex's body tightly and shed her tears on Om Alex's chest. “Don't be afraid, as long as there is Mas here you and Sarah will be safe, the woman will never bother us again, because I've hired a lawyer to sever ties with the woman.” Alex rubbed my mother's head tightly around her, as she was expressing her feelings during the week.
“Sarah sinterkan Yah?” I was happy to show the results of my report card to Om Alex, who was sitting next to me in my room. “Wah great son Dad, oh yes bawar again Sarah birthday ya?” Her speech. “Ehmm Yes Well two more days.” I pointed my index finger and middle finger at Om Alex who deciphered the number two with a happy smile. “Sarah want what gift?” Ask again.
“Ehmm Sarah doesn't want anything, Sarah wants Daddy same Mother always the same Sarah continues.” I hugged Om Alex tightly and he rubbed my head with warmth. “Same father Mother will always be the same Sarah, Father promise.” I smiled happily with the affection that Om Alex gave me in his arms. God, I want them to be with me always.
Two days later.
“Where are we going Bu?” I asked as we were in the car during the day passing through the streets of the Capital which was filled with motor vehicles. “Later Sarah also knows herself.” Not long after, our car arrived at a Fast Food Restaurant, I saw some of my school friends there.
“Mother is there Adinda like the others here?” I scrunched my forehead looking out the window of the car, while Om Alex and my mother just smiled at my astonishment. “Come down first yuk.” Said my mother, who opened the car door for me.
I got out of the car and when I walked into the restaurant, all the diners sang a happy birthday song that made me smile with pleasure, I clasped both of my mother's and Alex's hands very tightly. Thank you, Mom, Dad.
My birthday party was celebrated with my school friends, and especially with Om Alex and Mom beside me, it was my first birthday celebration with my mother and my last.
“Sarah seneng same party?” Ask Mom. “Seneng Mom.” I said excited when we were in the car heading to our Apartment, after celebrating my birthday party until the end of magrib time. Mom and Om Alex also smiled at my happiness, they both held hands with Om Alex kissed the back of my mother's hand with love.
“Yes Dad, why are we going this way? Sarah scared, dark bang.” Manyaqu scared. “Gak pa-pa, Dad has often passed this road, this is a quick road to our Apartment.” Suddenly there was a car with a speed that exceeded our car passing us from the right and stopped in front of our car suddenly, making our car inevitably have to stop. Three men with scary faces got out of the car. Two people approached our car and one just stood leaning her body behind her car with her arms folded in front of her chest.
“OUT!” Shouted one of the creepy Men. “Mother's Dad, Sarah's afraid.” I was terrified to see the two men shouting loudly with a gun in each hand. The two men hit hard on the car window next to Mom and Om Alex. “OUT!” One of the men shouted again from the window of Om Alex.
“You wait here.” Say it to Alex. “Mas you don't go out Mas.” My mom pulled Alex's hand. “No pa-pa Risty, you wait here, take care Sarah.” Alex opened the door and got out of the car. “Gua knows you guys are following him, right?” Said Alex with a little scream. I don't know what they're talking about, it just sounds vaguely dyed me from inside the car. “Mother, Sarah is afraid of Bu.” Frightened me. “No pa-pa no Mom here Darling, Sarah don't be afraid.” My mother calmed me down who was still sitting behind her with a face that looked anxious as well.
And. “DORR!!!” The sound of gunfire coming from the front of our car. “AYAH!!!” My yelling. “MAS ALEX!!” My mother got out of the car, ran up to Om Alex's weakly lying body with blood coming out of his chest. Dad don't stay with Sarah.
One more person who had just stood up leaning his body behind his car with a star tattoo on his right wrist approached my mother. Pulling my mom into their car, they, I saw the three men taking turns in their car for about thirty minutes and all I heard was the sound of my mother's agonizing screams faintly coming from inside the car. “Please don't, hurt, please.” Mother.
Soon they left my mother by the roadside and drove their car into the darkness of the lonely road. I ventured out of the car to approach my mother in a torn shirt and a little blood on her leg. “Mother.” I cried so much to see my mother's silent condition with tears flowing from her eyes and Alex's Om lying down not breathing with blood soaking in her sky blue shirt. Mom, Dad.
The next day, after a terrible incident last night, we were helped by some people who passed through the deserted road and called the police to investigate the incident. “Dad, Sarah kangen Daddy, don't stayin Sarah.” I wept in the grave of Om Alex who was sprinkled with flowers and fragrances that adorned his final resting place.
My mother from last night was only mute with tears that never stopped flowing from her swollen eye patch. When we were going home, I saw a woman standing in the distance with her familiar sunglasses, watching us from the beginning at the funeral of Om Alex. Mega Aunty?
SERIATE.
