EPS 89'S. REAL IS LOST

The weather this morning was clouded, it looked like it was going to rain. Today was not a lucky day for me, a day that was so painful and made me have to stay a few days in the hospital. Because my own mistake was in a hurry to go to school until finally something unexpected happened. I fell down and was badly injured on the side of the road, the cloudiness that followed me traumatized me because of it.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a worried face peppering at me, with teary eyes, full of question marks. “Meitaa..”, a voice that always keeps me calm with millions of subtleties that can calm things down. “What do you feel, meita.?”, asked a man beside my bed. I just fell silent, I tried to remember what had happened to me, I grinned at the pain of the abrasions on my body, and the deep wounds I felt on my legs.

“Meita answered the doctor's question, how do you feel.?”, ask my mother with patience. Finally I realized that the man asked me,” I feel pain in the legs and blisters on my body.” I replied. I didn't realize that the man was a doctor, because he still looked my age. I looked at the nickname that was on his shirt with curiosity. Once I forgot the pain in my body, I looked at him with awe because of his cleverness, becoming a doctor at a very young age.

“Meita, do not move much yes, get enough rest and take your medicine regularly, so that you quickly recover!!.”, he asked me. I nodded in understanding what was said to me. “Ya already Meita I live first, let mother.. ”, she said smbil smile at my mother.. Every day I always come to check my health.

Three days passed, I felt quite improved. Because of the atmosphere of the room space that makes me feel bored, I finally decided to take a walk to the park that is behind the room. I also did it to heal the deep wounds on my feet. I walked with an infusion attached to my hand, I walked myself down the hallway to the park. I stopped when I saw a man sitting in the corner of the hallway, I was curious about him and I didn't know what to do in that quiet place. I saw tears drenching his lethargic face, his sobs growing longer. I approached her

“What are you doing? You're okay, right?”. I asked with doubt. He looked at me with a sharp look that made me feel what he was feeling. “You have been sick for a long time huh?” my many. “Who are you? Why are you meditating on me? You're not afraid of me?” answer it quickly. “What are you saying, I really don't understand”. He was silent and lowered his head, I sat down beside him with his meal tidying up. “You have been treated here for a long time?” ask me kindly. “Where do you know? And who are you exactly?” the answer. “It was too easy for me to know. I'm also a patient here, three days ago an accident made me have to be here”. He started to lift his head a little and looked at me, “Iya I'm a long time patient here, I have a serious disease in my kidney, so that I can't go to school, have many friends, I have many friends, and enjoy the beauty of life out there”. He cried again, making me wonder if I had asked him this wrong. “Sorry I don't know, I don't mean to make you sad, don't cry I want to be your friend.” He smiled at me, since then I have new friends and he also has a new spirit.

When the time showed at three in the afternoon, Doctor Riski who checked me came with a large beautiful sheet, I saw her face was very radiant and walked full of happiness, I replied with a light smile. “Meita, how are you happy today.?” Ask. “What's the doc..?” quickly answer. “You can go home today, get back to school, and eat a good-tasting”. I nodded and shook my mother who was sitting in a chair. Mom didn't tell me before. But I feel so happy to hear it.

“Meita here is something for you, maybe you will like”. The doctor said by thrusting it into my hand. “What is this doc?” i asked. “This is a memento for you Meita, so that you keep in mind that you have been treated, I am sure you are a good aank, so I give this to you, hope you're happy Meita.” she explained to me. “Say what may, if given?”, Canda mom saw me and doctor Riski. “Iya, thanks Doc, Meita is happy to meet with a doctor as good as doctor Riski”. “lain times be careful ya mei” message. Doctor Riski left the room room, and asked mom to come with him.

I remember my new friend. What about him. If I go home who's the friend who will encourage him again. He needs encouragement, his parents are busy looking for money for his Hospital fee. “May, what are you daydreaming about, your father is waiting in front”, mother has me. I immediately rushed home.

The day I waited the most when I went back to school, met up with friends and spent time together. I sat in the XI class of IPA, because an ideal I wanted to achieve was related to human growth. That is how humans can grow and develop themselves, until they become human as they expect.

“Me-me..”, I heard a familiar voice calling me with a call of love, I saw it across the school street. That's Lina Angelia, she's the first friend I found early in school. “Hai Lin.”, I welcome Lina with a big smile. “Alhamdulillah me you have entered today, I am happy to see it.”, Hugging tightly my tiny body. Lina is more religious and a different friend than the others. He always had principles in his life, not a single day he wasted. His life was always filled with new works. The novel “Prahu papan” became his first work. A small notebook, pen, and drinking water never miss carrying it, wherever and whenever it is always in his small backpack.

After school, Lina and I went to a place we used to visit, one of the eating places there also provided some books for us to read. We can eat while reading. I remember in my mind about my new friend who was still in the hospital. I told Lina about her and asked for a solution on how I could remain friends with her to encourage her in the fight against her illness. Until I finally accepted the decision from the advice given by Lina.

“You've eaten.?” ask my new friend. This afternoon I went to see him with Lina. He seemed very happy with my arrival, as usual he always sat in the corner of the hallway in the same position. “I'm waiting for you to come, I want us to eat together”.

Since then every time I go home from school I take the time to visit him. He also asked me to teach him the lessons I had learned, so that he would not miss out on school.

The moon has changed months, passing by quickly, as fast as the carbon dioxide we remove from our bodies. In the end, there is good news that makes me and my new friend very happy to hear it. The doctor, who had been working with my new friend, said my new friend could go home but had to follow regular therapy every week. It is also a request of my new friend, from a long time ago he wanted to go back to school and live in the outside world.

Since then, she has decided to continue in school. Every morning I pick him up, we're angry together. We enjoyed the days with stories. We always write down everything we do. Writing became my daily hobby because I wanted to write every story I did with him. Until one day he took me somewhere. A place I've never been before, there are so many dry birds and plants. Like a garden that has no life, but the place is clean. I don't know what this place really is, it's so quiet there's only one or two people passing by in a dirty suit.

“May, before I want to apologize to you, I've taken you to a place like this, I want to talk to you something may.” I saw his eyes which gave a feeling that he was going to speak something very serious. I began to feel curious, my heart pounding like there was something that would surprise me. I've never seen him this serious, not as usual when he wanted to talk to me about something. “Do not apologize, I was happy here before I did not know this place. Since you brought me here, I finally found out about this place.” Reply relax.

The more he puts on a serious face, the more I think no-no. He doesn't want to be friends with me anymore. Had I made a mistake with her, my face turned anxious, becoming afraid of my own friend.

“Friends, Listen to me!” in a soft voice he asked me. I looked at him as if we were going to decide something really big. “Friends, Thank you, you have helped me fight my illness, care about my circumstances even though you have never known me before. Look at this place, this is how I really am, my life will be dry and lonely without you. You have come to bring a new life into me. Fill and make a beautiful story for the rest of my life, I ask you not to leave me, I need an encouragement like you ”. I shed tears, I leaned on her shoulder “You must stay strong through this all, I promise to always be with you”, she smiled a little at me.

The next day I came as usual to his house to pick him up, but I saw a crowd there. I felt anxious what was really, my heart was uncertain like something was making me uneasy. I saw one by one the people who were there, they were crying, they were sad, and they. Is this all your will God, why are you so quick to take it from me. I love him so much. I still want to do more stories with him.

I could only stand still behind the crowd not believing what I was seeing at the time. Remembering her when she was alone, crying, and not knowing what to do. Thousands of tears became the sea that became our last port. But this is the fate that must happen between me and him. Until the time that separated me from my new friend who I did not know what his name was.
