First Love "In April"

First Love "In April"
DREAM IN A DREAM



My sadness has passed with the time I've been through, almost three weeks since I came to my senses from a long sleep.


Aunt Erna slowly kept telling me what happened during my coma and had to move from my hometown to Semarang for surgery and better treatment,


Including telling my friends, friends and school parties about my circumstances that I should stop attending school activities.


"At that time your friends came running to the aunt with a hiccup and asked a lot of things"


"Oh yeah... They must be very worried" I said with great longing towards them.


"it's very clear" said aunt Erna.


"Tante couldn't say anything back then, because he was still completely shocked and worried about you"


"Tante can only say, keep praying and hope everything is okay.


"Tante, Riri wants to see Mom and Dad" I said with eyes staring at the cloudy sky from my bedroom window.


"Auntie, we can get a temporary home for you" said Aunt Erna by gently stroking my hair.


" Can't we just go back here again?" ask me.


"You know, if you still haven't fully recovered, you still have to undergo some more therapy to really recover".


"At least that's what Dr. Arya says is just as sure" said aunt Erna.


I was just speechless with eyes that looked back at the blue sky wistfully.


Without the sound, the longing for Father and Mother, my friends made my heart even more eager to meet them including Raidil who somehow is currently, at this time,


One year is not a short time for Me and him, let alone our new relationship for corn.


"Aunty??"


"Hmm??".


"When aunt to school Riri did anyone ask Riri besides 3 friends Riri?" ask me curious.


"Em.. rich is not as much as aunty" said aunt Erna with her hand that supports the chin.


"Emm so" said I lethargic staring at the raindrops that began to fall into the glass wall of the window.


"Raidil" I said heartily.


"Let's go, it's time for a checkup, surely Arya's doctor will come" said aunt Erna who then pulled my wheelchair and pushed back towards my bed.


And shortly after I started lying down, Arya's doctor came along with her nursing assistant.


"You let me go home for a little while, before the therapy schedule you should have come back here" said Arya doctor while examining me after aunt Erna asked about our return plan to the city of origin.


"Where's Rii? still going home?" asked Aunt Erna who was sitting on the sofa not far from where I was lying.


" Yes "My voice is short.


" But that means only 2 days we go home" said aunt Erna explained.


" It's okay even if it's just for a moment" I said.


Because my longing overcame everything, even if only given 2 days I had to go home no matter how I was.


At least I should know the current state of Raidil and my friends.


"Don't be too tired, you know your feet are still not used to walking normally, for a while you have to keep using a wheelchair" said Dr. Arya.


" Yes doc, thank you" I said briefly.

My flight from Semarang to my small town on the corner of the borneo only takes an hour more, so I can rest more when I get home later.


" Riri is fine kok tan" I said slowly with the heart I prepared to toughen up.


I don't even know if I'm going to be okay after I get to a house full of good memories with my parents and little sister Zira.


My eyes turned to the starry night sky, I stared out from behind the window of the airport taxi that drove me and Aunt Erna home.


It flashed through my mind about Raidil who loved the night sky so much every time we dated, an unstoppable longing in my heart made me even more impatient to want to see him tomorrow.


"Is this really the address, ma'am?" ask the taxi driver.


"Ahh yes, a little forward again" said aunt Erna directing.


"To us until Rii" he added.


I looked at my house with tears in my eyes.


Going down slowly from the car to the wheelchair, Aunt Erna pushed me into the house.


" Are you sure, baby?" ask aunt Erna who seems to be worried about me.


I just try to look okay.


Czech


The door opened, standing firmly bang Farel with a haru and happy look towards me.


" Welcome Ri, your senang brother is finally fine" warm embrace bang Farel landed on my body.


"Let's go in" said aunt Erna.


" Riri's room have you finished off Rail yet?" he added.


" Here you go, look" said bang Farel.


"Sheat?" he added when I actually got to my room.


Back there were warm memories of Mom and Dad that made my tears finally fall, my deep longing made my chest feel tight until in the end I couldn't hold it, the originally silent cry now turned into a groan with a hiccup.


Aarrggh... Fathering.. Mother..


My ringis with her hands that kept patting her chest tried to let out all the tightness that was there.


"Cry as much" said bang Farel who hugged me tightly.


" Tomorrow all that remains is patience with the airy chest when you meet them" he added with a hand stroking the tip of my head.


The truth that Farel spoke made me fall to pieces.


"Dear, as good as you rest".


"Remember! Tomorrow we will meet them" said aunt Erna.


With a swift bang Farel supported both my shoulders to get up from the wheelchair and move onto my mattress.


" You rest" said bang Farel with his hand that swept away my tears,


and I nodded with the remnants of my sorrow.


" Yes" added bang Farel as it passed leaving me.


I turned my body to the window, and I looked up at the beautiful night sky decorated with stars,


Tears were dripping back considering the reality I was facing right now,


Slowly I close my eyes, with a heart that still hopes when I wake up later this is all just a dream in a dream.
