Eid al-Fitr was over 5 days ago. Now it's time
to farewell to the hometown. Pamit with parents, goodbye
with old friends, also farewell with other brothers. Although felt
heavy, inevitably has to be passed. In 2 days, activity
normal everyday starts to go as usual. That is, working at
oversea.
After saying goodbye to family while dripping
in tears, Bima immediately drove his motorbike and started to leave the village
courtyards.
Bima who was already on the main road turned
the bike went into the right side alley. Bima was about to cover for a while
pick up a friend who happens to still be a village. Buddy
Bima works in the same company as him, even in
the same department. And his name is Dimas. His close friend realized
they're SMPs.
Bima has arrived in front of Dimas' house. Milky way
seeing Dimas saying goodbye to his family. Without a second thought,
Bima also came down from the motor and joined hands.
Dimas and his family must have known Bima for a long time. Even the Dimas family
already consider Bima like their own kinsmen. Milky
well received there. That's why the Dimas family gave
trust in Bima to keep their son Dimas overseas.
Bima who heard the wishes of Dimas' parents smiled. It too
saying that they don't have to worry, because Dimas he will take care of
like taking care of himself.
Heard the warm words
out of Bima's lips, Dimas' parents became relieved. Then they
hugging each other and shaking hands last time. Until finally, Bima
dimas began to disappear from their sight.
Bima and Dimas today will both return to the overseas home that is in the
town. Therefore, this is a hard day to live for
both of them. By holding back the sadness in the heart, Bima and Dimas too
have both managed to say goodbye to the family in the hometown.
And pray, may there still be a chance to gather with the family
again in tomorrow.
Bima and Dimas are from the village
the same, and also wander in the same location, but both choose homecoming
using each motor. Both prefer it that way. And
after driving the vehicle as far as 20 KM, Bima also covered to SPBU to
filling gasoline. Dimas also tailed behind to fill the gasoline
eke.
When they finished, they both continued on their way.
While on the road, Bima was in the most forward position. And Dimas, though,
his position is trailing behind the Bima motorbike. There's really no reason
particular. It's just that Dimas if you bring a motorcycle like speeding. Whereas
Bima is a relaxed motorist. So that's why Dimas told Bima
to walk in front of him, with the intention that Bima did not miss.
Because if Dimas is leading, surely Bima is now far away
behind me.
After a difficult journey
80 KM, Dimas Tetiba motor just a little taste good. He immediately overtakes
Bima in front of him to invite him to stop covering for a while. Subsequent to
checked, it turns out Dimas motor has a leak of tires on the front.
The current condition is still daytime, although around it there is nothing to see
opening the service of tire patch, it feels quite easy to find a tire patch if
it's still noon like this. So without excessive panic, Dimas and Bima
keep driving straight their motorcycle slowly while glancing to the
approximate.
About 500 meters later, Dimas finally saw there
which opens the service of tire patch. He also approached her directly with
followed Bima who was tailing behind.
After being repaired, they continued their journey. Same as
previously, Bima led the journey on the front lines.
If it has reached 160 KM of travel, each of them begins to feel
starving. With a little hesitation, they finally decided
to cover a warteg on the side of the road. And now time is
change to the afternoon.
Bima and Dimas chose a side dish that was not
too fancy. There was no meat on their plates. Only
vegetable, egg and fried foods only. But it was even more than
enough for those two who had a simple figure. Devouringly,
both began to enjoy the food.
There was no rice left on each plate. Both Bima and Dimas really spent
eat them without remaining. Offset with sweet iced tea, now the flavor
hungry they're gone without a trace.
Even though stomach problems are
overcome, but compared to directly continue the journey, Bima and Dimas
agreed to choose a short break first in the shoproom
the blank is right next to the warteg. They want to stretch
body for a moment before continuing the journey that is still very far away.
1 Hour has passed. Bima and Dimas are ready to return
continue journey. Each of them has returned
carry a backpack and start the motor. Feeling tired has now
dwindling. At 5pm, they return to continue their journey.
Long story short, now the time has shown at 9 pm. By condition
the body is no longer fit because of fatigue, both decided
to get back to rest. Now they're heading to a gas station.
Filling up the gasoline while resting there.
If you look at their travel routes, most likely both will get to the destination
about 3 hours. Of course it's a long time. Because of that,
they chose to take their last break at the gas station
these.
After filling up the gasoline, they parked the motor in front
pom court. Then they went into the court to lie down. But
Dimas who was already feeling hungry again, woke up to buy meatballs
which is not far from there. While Bima, he began to try to close
eyes to sleep for a moment.
It's half 12 p.m., by night,
Dimas woke Bima to get ready. Dimas felt rested
this time it was enough. Dimas wants to get to the destination. It
I don't want to spend much time here any longer. Because of that,
Dimas kept trying to wake Bima up by patting her feet a few times
Bima who had woken up also started to get ready. But he
ask Dimas for a little time to fill up the stomach. Then Bima
go to the meatballs there and order a serving for him
by oneself. And after finishing eating, they also returned to drive the bike
to complete the remaining journey.
It takes about 3
another hour to get to the destination. Time has already shown
hit midnight. Bima and Dimas are still riding their bikes,
fill the silence of the night with other travelers. As though
they were working together to fill a long night.
And when going through a crossroads that is a bit veered, from a distance
Bima saw that the green light at the end there would soon run out.
Because they feel reluctant to wait, just like Bima directly stuck the gas
as much as possible to avoid red lights. In the last seconds
when the lights turned yellow, Bima made it through the crossroads
that kind of cornering. Then back to walking at speed
normal thereafter.
Shortly after passing the intersection, Bima too
glanced at his right rearview mirror. Behind him is Dimas
tailed. Bima thought Dimas wouldn't have had time to break through the red light
earlier. But apparently, Dimas also managed to pass through. Then they
continue the journey which is now 2 hours away.
Bima just passed a monument in the city. It was a monument that felt no longer
alien in the eyes of Bima. Bima already knew the path he was going through. If
from this distance, it might only take about 1 hour more to
get to the contract. And when Bima looked again into the rearview mirror, there was still
Dimas is trailing behind him.
Just a little more until,
Bima felt reluctant to cover for a while to rest. Bima is already
recognize the path he is walking. That means a little more he will
get to the destination. Moreover, there is already a mall at the end there.
From this point on, it takes about 30 minutes to get there
contractual. So instead of resting, better bablas just get there
contractual. Dimas, who was still in the back, did not protest.
Bima is now at the last intersection before arriving at the contract. From point
this, roughly only took another 10 minutes to get to the place
purpose. We are waiting for the red light there. Road conditions too
it still looked crowded as he swept his gaze around.
Although it was early in the morning, it felt normal, as this was the momentum of the reverse flow.
But at this point, as Bima looked into her left and right rearview mirror, she
I didn't see Dimas behind her. When Bima looked back
he found no Dimas anywhere. Bima thought, maybe Dimas
between the cars that stand in the way. So let it go. Then
drive the motor when the green light has turned on.
Now, Bima was in front of his contract. Bima arrived safely at the destination.
Then he got off the bike and took off the backpack he was carrying. Milky
not directly open the rented door, with fatigue, Bima even
sitting in the front yard of his contract. He tried to stretch his body, though,
trying to eliminate the pain in his body. Waiting for Dimas
which seems to be arriving soon.
But after 10 minutes of waiting while playing mobile phone, it turns out Dimas never came. Milky
astonished at what made Dimas too late. Whereas if
compared to him, of course Dimas should be even faster
until, because Dimas is a typical speeding motorist. But Dimas is not
kunjung come.
Feeling worried, Bima started to send messages to
Dimas. He was afraid Dimas had a tire leak or something, which
finally made himself never come.
One time, two times, three times. The message that Bima sent to Dimas was no reply.
Not even read it. Bima thought, is it possible Dimas left behind
far behind because the bike has a problem? But Bima is too
I was surprised, if so, but why did he look at each
dimas' rearview mirror was always behind him?
After the message did not return, Bima finally called Dimas.
After a while of waiting, someone finally answered his call. Then
Bima said, "Woy cuy. Where's lu? Why not take a sample?"
Instead of hearing the answer from Dimas' voice, Bima actually heard a noise
on the other end of the phone. It was like the sound of people talking to each other.
After waiting for a while, there was the sound of someone
answer the question Bima. Then the man said, "I'm sorry, sir
his surname is Dimas Nugraha?" Ask the guy at the end
telephones.
Without much ado, Bima also answered him with words
'Yes'. Hearing Bima's reply, the man continued, "Mas
Dimas Nugraha died in an accident sir. Now the body is at home
be ill. Please come here. I call it the address."
Hear the news
that, immediately Bima felt weak all over the body. Then he was
record the address that the person said. And when Bima studied
the address, honestly he doesn't know where it is. It feels foreign to him.
Without a second thought, Bima immediately entered the address into google maps.
Then he found that the address of the hospital was about 3
hours drive from the contract. Far too far. And if it's true
I see, then Dimas who he's been seeing in the rearview mirror?
Not yet had time to open the contract, Bima carried his backpack again and immediately drove the motorbike faster.
Bima has now reached the location. The hospital in question also turned out
not far from the red light intersection that is slightly veered. And Bima
still remember clearly, that the intersection of the red light was
the junction he had broken into a few hours ago. And kala
Bima entered the hospital as well as asking for confirmation, he indicated
someone who has stiffened. And it's true, that Dimas is already
died.
After asking further, it turned out to be true, that
Dimas died in an accident at the intersection, when he was about to,
through the red light.
END.
