“Liu…! Liu…! Liu...!”
The sound of an ambulance rang out loud in front of Andi's house. People in black clothes came and kept coming to Andi's house. Her mother, father, sister Ira Parwati and a young girl friend named Emilia Latinka were also saddened.
Surabaya, May 13, 2013, 07:04…
The atmosphere of the earth began to become silent, the decoration in the cloud sky that was originally white, now turned black and slowly let out a stub of rain that continuously fell from above. The air around the house becomes so cold and warm it begins to decrease.
The death of someone they loved, the family in the house began to shed tears of sorrow. A photo decorated with colorful flower chains and various types of flowers, it indicates that someone has died.
In addition, there was a person who was sleeping in a room that was dim light, he began to wake up and opened his eyes slowly.
“A-I am where this is?”
He began to get up from his bed in a semi-conscious state, looking up at the sky roof of his room with a blurred look. While remembering the events of yesterday, because he had forgotten a little, he immediately turned his mind with a loud noise from the corner outside his bedroom.
“What's outside the house yes, how come there is sound like an ambulance?”
With a short pause while curious, he began to walk slowly towards the window, opened the window curtain, then looked out from his house jandela while rubbing his eyes as it was still blurry.
“Loh what is this? How come there are so many people wearing black clothes in front of my house? Nay! Don't!”
With a short pause while wondering because it feels astonished. And not long after, he had an aging face after knowing something was up.
He who wanted to quickly head to the living room, staggered against the still blurred vision. After arriving at the stairs he paused for a moment, as he felt a little dizzy while holding onto the wall.
“Aduh, how is it still dizzy?”
Holding his head, from the other direction he saw the path down the stairs as it began to churn and surging. His already anxious and sad feeling, he continued walking towards the living room slowly.
After reaching before his eyes, he opened the door as hard as he could.
“Duarrr...!”
It's the sound of a door opening loudly, not the sound of gunfire. Suddenly, the black-clothed person in the living room, all of them were shocked by the content of the gaze fixed on him who was sad again.
“Cannot be! This is impossible! Definitely a lie!”
With a short pause, he who was shaking his head while shedding tears, because he felt unwilling to accept it. A feeling of sadness and confusion, it seemed like all that was enveloping the contents of his mind and heart. Taking a deep breath and then making a loud sound.
“Kakekkk...!”
Andi's voice echoed loudly in the room, heard by all the people in the living room. He looked at the photo of his grandfather clad in a colorful flower chain with a sad feeling.
A little girl who was dressed like a black dress outfit, black shoes and a small black hat with a slight slant that was on her head, a suitable combination. She's Emilia Latinka, Andi's little friend.
The little girl approached Andi with slow footsteps, she patted Andi on the shoulder, then with her sad face she uttered.
“I'm so sorry for your grandfather's death, Andi.”
Andi facing back, yes exactly look at Emilia's face while putting on a sad face. Then he bent his knees to the floor, with tears in his eyes, one by one his tears rained down on the floor.
“No waynnn…? This must have been a dream, at that time grandfather told a bookuu.... Terusss... Grandfather was happy because of the book...?”.
While remembering the events of yesterday, to be exact he suddenly collapsed into sleep. His slightly strident tone while holding back that cry, he kept recalling and recounting the events of yesterday.
The picture where he suddenly fainted overslept, at which time his grandfather told him a book excitedly fighting.
...He who was carrying a book on his chest, walked over to the wooden door. Open slowly while peeking slightly behind the door. Seen cluck with a normal and healthy state while half-smiling face, he who sits in a rocking chair enjoys his old age while drinking warm tea and biscuits in the morning. He asked his grandfather to tell him the contents of the book brought by Andi. His grandfather was happy to read his book…
At the time Andi was fantasizing. Suddenly, there was someone who was calling her name Andi, slowly the voice began to be loud, then she patted Andi's shoulder while wiggling slowly to wake up.
When Andi was awake from fantasizing freely, even though he wanted to try to ignore it, still could not do it.
“Tu-wait…! How do I get to bed? What about my grandfather who died? What the hell is going on…? Akuuu... Akuuu... Grandpakk... Ouh.... The story to where was it? Anooo..?”
“Andi..?”
After waking up, he still continued his story with the form of questions addressed to his mother, a question that was a little slurred is not clear everywhere. He put on a stiffened face towards his mother while shedding tears of sadness, feeling puzzled.
“Quiet! Andi relax! I'll explain everything.”
Mother also immediately resuscitated Andi while shaking her shoulders again. With a little complaining of long breath, the mother recounted the incident where before the grandfather died to Andi. The shape of the mother's face is serious, until it gives off an aura of mystery that envelops the room.
“Begin the story Andi..”
Andi put on a slightly sad face, slowly she became a little calm while listening to the story from her mother. Holding back the cries that came out faltering, he was willing to listen because he felt like knowing.
“...Pas your mother and father came home from work, we found grandfather was no longer alive with the body lying on top of his bedroom bed. Because your mom and dad were panicking, and then I told your dad to call an ambulance, and mom who was worried about you, she ran to your room to see your condition, and it turned out.”.
His unfinished mother recounted, suddenly on the other side Andi immediately cut off his conversation. Andi who had a surprised face while stopping her breath for a while, then her voice grew bigger saying.
“We read my mother's book, and my grandfather was pleased with the contents of the story in the book, continued me and grandfather.”.
The voice was so loud and slightly forced, that it made his sister Ira feel frightened and hide behind her mother while holding her clothes very tightly. Mother who saw that, she felt a little depressed, then stopped Andi's story that had a stiff aura.
“Wait a minute Andi, your sister here..”.
A well-dressed man, he was walking as if mimicking an adult doing while carrying a letter in his hand, he walked over to the crowd on the other side of the room, mother, Andi, Ira and Emilia.
“Sorry, ma.”
Calling from behind while patting mom's shoulder. Ira who was behind her mother while holding tightly to the side of her mother's clothes, looked up and looked up. Someone's dad cut off mom's conversation with Andi.
Stepping forward towards Andi, he gave a letter that seemed like he had read it the first time he found the letter.
“This, Andi.”
“What is this, dad? Mail?”
With a short pause and a face of astonishment because of the confusion he saw, Andi received a letter brought by his father.
“Iya this letter. I just found it on Grandpa's desk shelf, and it looks like this letter was addressed to you. Read!”
Andi opened up slowly from feeling clueless, then she read the contents of the letter with a slightly confused feeling.
…Fill letter grandfather…
In the middle of reading grandfather's letter, it suddenly fell down as a sheet of paper.
“what sheet is it?”
Andi thought as he looked at the sheet that had fallen on the floor, he picked up the fallen sheet of paper, opened and turned the sheet of paper with a slightly confused face looking at the contents.
“What is this? The map? Code?”
After Andi finished reading the letter from grandfather. Andi was still like a guilty person while hiding her face from people, probably because Andi wanted to make the pain that grandfather felt could be divided.
“I'm sorry grandpa... Grandpa!”
