For Kahiyang

8. The 5 Years Ago

The days of Kahiyang during school are not easy. Because of her beauty as well as the daughter of people, making other students envious and also bullying her.

"What is he proud of? a beauty? it's normal, standard. Still losing far," one of the powerful disciples in Kahiyang's army jeered him in the back.

"Lucky he's a rich man's son," continued one friend as he.

"But ha*am boy," added another friend and the five of them laughed.

Kahiyang who was sitting in the cafeteria, just a few tables away could hear their laughter. Kahiyang looked at her with a dislike look. He knows he is being talked about. There is no day without bullyan and scorn.

At that time Kahiyang had one friend named Irina, only a friend not a friend.

"They must be talking about you, Kahiyang," Irina said. The view is the same, leading to a group of students.

"Let's go, it's normal. That's how they used to be" said Kahiyang, continuing his lunch. Irina nodded then spent one bowl of her meatballs.

And that day, the school gave an announcement of camping activities to celebrate the anniversary of school. Camping itself is held at the top in the campground.

Kahiyang, who refused to join his classmates, chose to ride in a private vehicle.

"Just bang on with Kahi to camp, Pa," Brisia told Rozi. Soni was Rozi's personal assistant before Irwan.

"OK, Papa call Soni first," Rozi replied, grabbing the phone on the nightstand.

"Hello, Sonny. Tomorrow morning take Kahiyang to camp at Puncak Bogor. For my business let my wife take care of it. Don't be late" Rozi said on the phone.

"Okay doctor" replied Soni.

That night Kahiyang assisted Rozi and Brisia prepare some equipment to be taken to the camp.

Until the morning Soni had come and had breakfast with the Rozi family. Kahiyang is not too close to Soni, because he always keeps his distance from anyone outside his extended family.

"Soni, don't speed! take care of my son" Brisia told Soni on the porch. Soni who just closed the trunk, bowed her body.

"Okay, ma'am," he said.

"Mama, Papa, Kahi leave first," Kahiyang said goodbye, kissing the cheeks of his parents.

Brisia and Rozi waved at the white SUV car that Kahiyang and Soni were riding in.

Although in one car and sitting next to each other, Kahiyang still keeps his distance from Soni. If asked Kahiyang just replied, otherwise Kahiyang remained silent.

The trip took about three hours because of the toll road. Weekends will always be like this. Puncak Bogor imposes opening hours to overcome the number of vehicles that will go up.

Right at 8 am, the car that Soni was driving could go in the direction of the top. At that hour the officer has opened the road and will be closed again at 08.30.

The car continued to drive almost near the campground.

"Sorry, Miss. There seems to be a problematic vehicle in front," said Soni. They're stuck in traffic.

"Okay, we'll wait." replied Kahiyang. He then picked up the phone from Brisia.

"Hello, Mama," she said.

"Where is it, baby?" ask Brisia.

"Udah up, Ma. But it got stuck. I think there's a broken vehicle in front. Kahi doesn't know," replied Kahiyang. He looked up at his body to the left. A row of food stalls and a famous mini market caught his attention.

"Just wait, just wait. Patient my son" said Brisia. Brisia is with Rozi heading to the hospital. That day she appointed Soni temporarily to help her husband.

"Yes, kid. But not for long?" brisia.

"Yes, Ma-ahhhh .." Kahiyang's voice was cut off and a scream was heard.

Brakkkk

The sound of a loud impact and the sound of the vehicle being dragged were clearly heard in Brisia's ears. Brisia closed her mouth while crying.

"Son, son. I'm afraid of Mama, right? Son ..." Brisia tried to talk to Kahiyang. But there is no lawfulness.

"Why Ma? What was? why is Mama crying?" ask Rozi. He was surprised to see his wife like that.

"Daddy, Pa. Kahi .. We have to go there. Mama's worried about Kahi. There was a screaming sound, also a loud crash. Mama's scared, Pa. Mama was afraid," Brisia's voice crying still sounded from behind Kahiyang's phone.

"Hello, hello," the voice of an unknown person from Kahiyang's phone.

"Hello, Kahi. Son Mama. Son, you're okay, right?" Brisia immediately asked without hearing a male voice from behind her daughter's phone.

"Mom, sorry. I am a citizen around. There was a consecutive accident. I don't know which mother's daughter. The situation here is very chaotic," said the man. Brisia was unable to speak, she was sitting limp.

"Hello, hello .. can I know where the current position is?" ask Rozi.

"There's a Mega cloudy area, sir. It's so fucked up. Many vehicles were badly damaged, as well as many casualties. It's brake blong, sir. The truck from above directly hit the vehicle that was stuck in traffic," he explained. Rozi was equally shocked, but he still had to be strong for the sake of his daughter who was currently somehow in her condition.

Rozi rushed to the top with Brisia and the team from the hospital. Several ambulances accompanied.

"Ma, Mama must be strong. Don't cry on. We pray for Kahi and Soni, too" Rozi told his weeping wife.

The trip was quite fast as Rozi asked for the help of an officer to escort him to the point of the accident.

Kahiyang who was wearing white clothes and blue jeans. His clothes were no longer white. The truck hit Soni hard after hitting the car in front of her. Kahiyang was thrown a few meters and his back hit the shoulder of the road. His phone was out of his grasp.

Soni does not survive while Kahi is critically injured. Brisia continued to hug Rozi, then fell unconscious. The morning crash became a trending topic across social media and news sites.

Kahiyang was critical for several hours and had not regained consciousness for two days. In his sleep, Kahiyang met a beautiful woman who spread her arms, asking for a hug. Kahiyang remembered the smile and then ran and hugged her. The woman's scent was oozing, smelling so clearly in her nose.

"Mother .." she exclaimed. The woman did not return Kahiyang's call. Just a gentle swipe on the back.

"Kahiyang misses," he said again, still hugging. Again, no words were heard.

Then the woman unraveled her embrace and led Kahiyang to a door that looked very bright.

Kahiyang flicked his steps. "Papa, Mama .." he said. The woman turned her head then nodded, released Kahiyang's hand then stood in front of the door and waved her hand with a smile.

That's when Kahiyang came back, he opened his eyes. The short dream was long for Brisia and Rozi as well as a large family who had been waiting for two days for the news of Kahiyang.

Reza, Natasha, Alsya, Ashraf and Arfa were also there.

Kahiyang suffered severe trauma. Moreover, the news of Soni who was not helped, became a heavy blow for him. Kahiyang blamed himself for the incident.

Rozi, who is also a mental and behavioral health doctor, is trying hard to restore his daughter's psychic and mental condition. Until Rozi decides to Kahiyang home schooling for a while.
