Fragrant For Galih

Ep. 1 The Story of Sendu

A little cloudy twilight, though, seen a group of young men with flaps sitting around enjoying coffee that looks still steaming and warm fried bananas in the shop Bu Win which is next to their headquarters. This afternoon can be a little relaxing for those who every day should be burdened with military exercises that are very draining. It seems that one of them is just dumbfounded with a blank look while the other is busy talking.

"Willy! Just bengong, ntar kesambet you know...!" Johan who suddenly patted Galih's shoulder made the handsome man wake up from his daydream. But he remained silent and did not respond to his friend. 

"What else is it, huh? Still thinking about him?" Ask Johan. "That's it... Don't you dissolve in sadness." Johan. 

"I miss him." Finally, Galih opened his mouth. 

"I know you miss him so much and I know what you feel it is..." Johan's words came to a halt when Galih snatched his sentence. 

"You don't know how I feel Jo!! This pain, this pain is always haunting." Seen his hands tremble, his strong muscles seem to limp just like that. That gallant panther was really very heartbroken. 

From a distance Jarno who had observed the conversation of his two friends finally approached Galih.

"Everyone has fallen and everyone has experienced sadness, but they must realize that they can't stand still lamenting their sadness and have to do something, and so must you." Jarno said with his advice. 

"Make something? What am I supposed to do? The light has dimmed, he has gone for good leaving me in this darkness. What am I supposed to do? Should I revive him? I'm not God..." The clear details suddenly fell from her adorable eyes. 

"I'm sorry, man... It's not that I mean to open up your sorrows again but that you have to turn back into the old, cheerful, excited Galih. Of course Sinar is so sad to see you like this, he would want you to shine even without him." Jarno tried to calm the heart of Galih who was unstable like an adult ABG. 

"But he left because of me!! Because I'm the one. ohh..." Galih could no longer continue his words, his tears falling again. His fingers clenched tightly until his books turned white and he occasionally hit the wall beside him. So Galih felt very guilty for the death of Sinar a year ago. Yes, a year has passed after the departure of Sinar, but the sadness and guilt Galih still felt until now. Galih and Sinar have been friends since childhood, after they grew up their friendship turned into the seeds of love.

Flash Back's.... 

Galih is a very dashing, tall and very handsome man. From the beginning his dream was to become a soldier who defended and guarded his homeland. Therefore after graduating from High School, Galih decided to join the Indonesian National Army Army. One year not long after he became a soldier, Galih was sent to Papua to carry out his duties and was forced to leave Sinar for some time. 

Before Galih went to do his job, he went to meet Sinar and pinned a ring on his lover's ring finger. 

"Shining... Will you wait for me to come back? I promise I'll ask you when I get back, make sure you wait for me, baby?" The Promise of Salih on the Rays. 

"Yes Galih, I'm ready. I'll wait for you until you get back." Sinar answered while throwing a smile at the man he loved. Even the last smile of the Light he saw was never lost from Galih's memory. 

Arriving in Semarang it turns out that Galih did not go straight to his home, but he went straight to Sinar's house. He hoped this would be a surprise for his beloved. In front of the door of Sinar's house, Galih was silent for a moment to calm his heartbeat, after a long sigh he began to knock on the door of the Sinar family home. 

Tok.dok... 

There is no truth and Galih tried to knock again but there is still no truth from inside. Not usually Sinar's house looks lonely, usually Sinar and his parents and his sister Wita always chat while relaxing on the porch of the house during an afternoon like this. 

Tok.dok... 

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat... Wept..." Galih tried to knock back on the house and this time the door opened slowly, a middle-aged woman came out from inside. 

"Wa'alaikum..." Sahut woman who is none other than Rukmini Sinar's mother, but was really surprised when he saw Galih who was standing at the door of his house. 

"Astaghfirullah's... No way, this is impossible!! You're..." Rukmini's words seemed to evaporate in the air from her shock. 

"Yes, this is my mom... Elbow." Galih answered half a flurry of reactions to her future father-in-law when she saw him. 

"No way!! Ahh..maybe my eyes are my shortsightedness." Ms. Rukmini rubbed her eyes, hoping that what she saw was wrong. But the man who had become her daughter's lover still stood before her. 

"Mothers... It's really my Galih, I've come back ma'am." Galih tried to convince his future father-in-law that the one standing in front of him was him. Really him. 

"Shy... Nak Galih? Is this really you? But you're..." Ms. Rukmini suddenly stopped her speech for a moment and then shouted to her husband. 

"Sir... Pakne...! Come quickly, pakne!" Shouted, Rukmini called her husband. 

"Yes, just a second..." Her husband's voice sounded from inside the house. 

"Papetat to pakne, don't be long!" Ms. Rukmini yelled again to her husband who never came to her. It was clear that the panic from the look of his old face and the impatience of the woman made Galih more confused. What the hell is it? 

"Yes, this is the road again, what is it to bune?" Her husband was soon out of the house. Mr. Sastro, Mr. Sinar was driven to his wife and can be guessed by the expression of his face when he saw Galih who was standing before his wife. Yes, of course, as surprised as his wife was and as if he did not believe that the young man in front of him was Galih, his future son-in-law. 

"God!! Bune...You didn't see wrong? It's..." Mr. Sastro's speech stopped and was immediately struck by his wife. 

"Yes sir, this is Galih's son!" Ms. Rukmini's.
