#128 Search Discovery
The night is getting late. Great also this search team does not stop even though the search starts at night. Is it possible because there were reports of gunshots in there?
Ears, buzzing.
“Bubar!”
Day of... To how many? How long have I been looking?
Can't be quiet. A lot of bad things drifted to and fro. How about Rasyi⏤how about stop thinking. Do what needs to be done.
Oh, Aaron's still here. It's already night.
“You just go home, Aaron.”
“I came looking,” he looked at me, but his face was always scared.
Huuuh..., “You did not rest at all from yesterday.”
She's a faint smile, “No pa-pa sis. I can't calm down either. Let me help.”
Aaron's way of speaking changed. He was also angry because of my fault.
Can't oppose it. If there's anyone to blame, it's me. The one who is not worthy of being Rasyi's brother. Aaron only believes in himself right now.
“Sorry...”.
Even though it was night, this search team was still working. Uncle gave a wish. Dad also intervened.
Rasyi, Ira's aunt, Jagad, they should be fine.
Aaron replied again, “Don't press yourself sister so. How do we know it's gonna be like this. What matters is we look for Rasyi now. She's strong really, definitely not pa-pa.”
But Aaron understood. None of that would have happened if I had kept Rasyi more righteous. If I keep Riza's promise is truer.
Fares is a bad sister, brother Riza.
“Let's join his uncles, brother,” Aaron wants to go first.
Not wrong.
Sorry, sister Riza, I have to forget that first. The important thing is to find them.
Rasyi, I beg you. One week is too long.
Please, don't go too. Thats impossible....
“Hai! You!”
Officer's voice. On right.
Aaron seems to want to know too. His face was clear that he also realized that there was something there.
It could be Rasyi!
“Stop!”
“Dia to here!”
“Quick!”
The search team, everything went to his voice. Rasyi or not, everything needs to be checked. Especially if they run when approached.
Follow it! Even if I don't know who it is, it should be followed! No matter the dark, the flashlight is enough to know where to go.
“Talking around!”
“That's it!”
Be met. They saw a silhouette there. Sitting under a tree..afraid⏤.
“That's Rasyi!”
All noisily. They instantly snarled, surrounding Rasyi.
Got to get there, right now. He will be more afraid.
“Rasyi!” run! Jump run!
It's Rasyi. Really Rasyi. His eyes are still open in front of me. He's still sitting in front of me.
But, she's scared. I've been sitting in front of him. He's not conscious? He usually hugged me. Her sister, or not, she'd still hug me if she knew I was here.
How big....is this big what I destroyed? What have I done? Brother Riza....
Aaron is near there, “This is me, Rasyi. Aaron.”
Aa.
Sister Riza, I failed. Fares can't take care of Rasyi. He hit Aaron's hand. Rasyi....
Stop thinking! He's still here! Rasyi... is still here!
Try me to talk slowly, “Quiet, Rasyi. It's okay.”
“Do not approach!”
“Rasyi...,” Aaron is still trying.
“Let me alone!!” Rasyi is getting louder.
Stop, Rasyi.
“Rasyi, look at me.”
If Rasyi wants to be angry. Angry at brother. Don't punish this sister.
“GO!!!”
“RASYI!!” I hold Rasyi's shoulder.
Look brother. Please, look at me.
“Huh aa...,” Rasyi cried, but she hugged me, “Kak... Fares....”.
I'm aware I'm here. Rasyi hugged me again. He's right here!
Hugs Rashi too, “Iya, this is big brother. It's okay..”
Cook loudly yelling, just like his embrace. But I don't want to leave either. I was afraid that he would leave again. I don't wanna care. Uncle Rizki or Rasyi himself would be furious at me. Importantly, Rasyi was here.
On here.
Until finally, Rasyi fell asleep. Can I lift him up, he's not wearing his arms.
The road was good, but I was not calm. Rasyi's weight is falling. What happened to him?
Aunt Ira, Jagad, they're invisible. Where were they all this time? This area is not a deep area. The people searching are still trying to get into areas that have not been checked. Rasyi is at a point that has been checked many times.
I know, but I don't want to know....
“Rasyi!” uncle Rizki looks so panicked.
Already managed to take Rasyi to uncle's car. We hope the search team finds both people who still don't know where.
“Out,” uncle still doesn't like me.
I was just sitting in the car seat next to uncle. It doesn't want to move. Rasyi who overslept is still on the bench, tightly smothered.
“Uncle, uncle knows that this is done..?”.
He didn't answer anything.
“But, why does his grandfather Rasyi want..”.
I saw uncle's hand suddenly pointing down the chair. P3k box. Uncle wants to treat Rasyi's wounds.
Uncle replied, “You know, how dangerous is this?” he took the box.
My hands pull the lever above, “I. I'm sorry.”
“Not that means.”
“Uncle,” breathe, “I admit, I did all this not because I consider Rasyi my sister. This is. entirely because I once promised Sister Riza. If I take care of his sister. Initially so.”
“Then?”
“Then. I don't know. Why do I do so many things like this. Just because I was amazed by Riza. Or as uncle said, just want to find face.”
Uncle laughed, “Or you just don't want to disagree with people's opinions?”
“Uncle, I'll stop thinking that. But I,” look at him, must be sure, “Honey with Rasyi.”
Quiescent.
I still want to talk, “As a sister, as a friend. Whatever it is. I am not willing. Can't afford Rasyi like this.”
I heard my uncle breathing a long breath.
“Uncle. I'm ready to be anything if uncle needs to be. Please, consider.”
“You are an adult, the decision is in our hands. Not that I can fuck around.”
“Please, feel free.”
Uncle laughs more loudly, “Uncle is not responsible about your angry father later.”
I looked at Uncle Rizki again. It seemed obvious, he had already begun to picture his plan.
He agreed I was in it.
Nine months. Passed. Having to accept with the condition of aunt Ira giving birth to a child from a stranger. And the Jagad that took his life because of the gunfire.
That nine months. Rasyi never saw her bright smile. Even though everyone knows he's too pushy to be happy. He always seemed to feel guilty.
That nine months. Uncle is ready for the plan. I didn't think it would be complicated and detailed. I never thought I'd get an important role. He called me bait. So the deciding point could all come out safely.
Nine months, I can only try.
