PS 53 - Aaron's Identity



A car filled with grass passed by. Aaron hurriedly waved his hand excitedly for the tub car to stop. When the car stopped, he immediately asked the driver for permission to ride until the train station. Aaron spoke Javanese, I kept quiet because I didn't understand what to do or say.


“Come, Nin!” exclaim Aaron. He began to climb on top of the car and then extended his hand to me. I exhaled. What to do sitting on grass like this? Unfortunately, I didn't have time to just protest.


I started to struggle to get his hands. Shit my right hand and shoulder hurt a lot. I endured the pain desperately. The blood on my palm flowed back.


“Come, quick, Nin! You can do it!" exclaim Aaron.


I kept trying my hardest until here I was. With Aaron riding in an open tub car with cold air that is increasingly piercing the bone.


I can only hug my own body. Cold and pain mix into one.


“Lo bring a jacket?” ask Aaron. It seems like he's been watching me from before.


I shook my head, “Enggak.” I said.


“Mukena?” ask Aaron. I'm shaking.


“Shirt?” tanyakanya.


“Bawa.” I said. Without asking my consent, Aaron opened my backpack. Then took out the only shirt I put in.


“Pake aja, let you not catch wind.” he said.


I nodded too. I'm tearing the shirt I'm wearing with Aaron's shirt. Aaron helped me wear it.


I looked at Aaron. Aaron's eyes are focused on the streets. It seems like he has a lot of thoughts in his head.


Suddenly I remembered the Korean dramas I had seen. In the dramas, men would give women jackets when the woman was cold. Aaron doesn't wear a jacket, so he can't give me a jacket. He wears pants instead of gloves. So, can't give me the scabbard.


"Why?" tanyakanya. His eyes were still directed to the streets.


"No" I said.


I know she's as cold as I am. Although he was a bitch a lot, there was one place in my heart that said I couldn't hate him.


I looked at his face again. I didn't feel any vibrations like I felt for Gus Faiz. But that face. I always wanted to look at him. I always wanted to find it in my memory.


“Honestly, I don't know Nin, what I'm doing is really what it's not to take you away from the pesantren" said Aaron.


I waited for him to continue his words.


"My little heart told me what I was doing was wrong. But I really don't have the heart to see you constantly tormented. This is not fair to me." I said.


"Why?" my many.


"Oh, I'm also confused as to how he explained. Obviously I don't want you to suffer any longer" he said.


"Try to see me." I said.


She's looking. Stared at.


"So, who wants to tell me a story?" my many.


He chuckles.


"I think I should tell everything to Elo now. After I tell the story everything, it's up to deh elo want to keep running away anything back to the pesantren. I follow all your wishes aja.” said Aaron.


I really don't understand the direction of the conversation.


“Wait. Continue that earlier. Do I know your sister who likes Gus Faiz?” my many. Aaron nodded.


“Lo knows him very well.” said Aaron. Lopsidedly smiles.


“Who?” my many.


“Linda.” said, full of resigned tones.


"L-Linda?" I ask, I hope I misheard the name Aaron mentioned.


He's nodding.


I gulped my own saliva. Linda hates me so much. I was beginning to think that Aaron went into Linda's business so I could leave Gus Faiz. Linda is her sister. Wouldn't every brother obey his sister's request? Even though I didn't feel it for Ulfa.


“Not,” says Aaron again. He seemed to be able to read my mind.


I looked at him. I try to find honesty there.


“He is very evil you are, but this plan has nothing to do with him.” said Aaron.


“Elo.” says Aron.


I'm speechless. Trying to string together these ridiculous events. How could fate play me like this?


“Lo is no longer a joke, right?” that's the only word that came to my mind.


“Not just that, there are other facts that are definitely not less make you shock.” said Aaron again.


"What?" I said.


"Look at my face well. Who comes to your mind when you look at my face?" tanyakanya.


I looked at him. "Ilham" this word just slid off my lips unconsciously. I shut my mouth


He smiled again. "Rubber. Inspiration, My brother. Different brother a day. If you want me, I think you know. So I don't need to be clear anymore" he said. Her voice choked. There was sadness as he said that name.


I'm appalled. Completely surprised. The words that came out of Aaron's lips really blew me away. It was only fitting that he knew me, it was fitting that he looked familiar to me.


It turns out he was Aaron. Ilham's Sister. I'm so stupid I didn't recognize him. I met him once in the house of Ilham. I also know Ilham has a younger sister even though I don't know her name and face. Ilham even once said that his sister was put into pesantren by his family. But as I recall he never told me that Aaron or his younger brother was also in the boarding house.


"Aaron?" my many.


He's nodding. I hugged her. My tears just escaped. I'm so stupid I didn't recognize him. Aaron welcomed my embrace.


"I'm sorry, Ron. I can't recognize you from the first time I met you" he said.


I started sobbing. How could fate be so joking? I let go of my embrace. There's one question I need to ask him. I have to find out the state of Inspiration.


“Ilham, she's still on?” my many. Shaking Aaron's body.


Aaron shakes. And that made me cry even more. My tears are really bad.


"If he's alive, there's no way he's left you alone, Nin." I said.


"What really happened, Ron? I beg you to explain everything to me." I asked.


"When was the last time you met Bang Ilham?" tanyakanya.


"Ingett. Before he left, we met at the cafe. He got a phone call from who and went straight away to me." I said.


"She's got a decret who wants to be known to the elo?" ask Aaron.


"Yes, I want to." I said.


"How many people?" tanyakanya.


"My Boeing he said he had two friends who wanted to be known to me. He said they were very good, even though they looked different." I said, trying to remember what Ilham said.


"Lo know what the names of those guys are?" ask Aaron.


I'm shaking.


"The names are Akbar and Faiz" he said.


"Fa-Faiz?" my many.


He's nodding. "Yes, Faiz. The Gus Faiz." said Aaron.


"T-keep that phone? From Gus Faiz?" my many.


I began to think that Ilham's death had something to do with Gus Faiz. If Ilham's death was caused by Gus Faiz I would teach him a lesson.


"No, not from Gus Faiz. He has nothing to do with the death of Bang Ilham" said Aaron.


"Continue?" I said impatiently.


"They three are in office. Really deket. On the day of the accident my brother wanted to meet Akbar because Akbar was again chased by his enemy. Akbar is a badboy, his enemies are everywhere. So, because he heard his best friend was chased by enemies, my brother immediately went, nyamperin Akbar, want to nolongin. But when I met Akbar and tried to get Akbar to escape, they both had an accident. So, yes as we know. They were both accidents, the same truck collisions. To the hospital and to die" Aaron said.


I can only cry.


"Do you know what, Nin? At the hospital he nyariin lo. He also nyariin Gus Faiz. Fortunately, though you did not come. Gus Faiz dateng's. I don't know what Bang Ilham said to Gus Faiz. But after meeting Gus Faiz, Bang Ilham finally slept forever." he explained.


I could feel the sadness in his eyes.


The car suddenly stopped. It indicates we have arrived at the station.


"Udah until. Come on, I'll help you get down" Aaron said.
