Reyhan closed his eyes feeling himself completely bored for a time, circling around just to breathe fresh air was nothing. But what Reyhan needs is to be patient, even Therapy in the hospital as long as he is still undergoing treatment continues even though he does not do it every day. And on Friday at 10:00 a.m., Reyhan was in front of a wide-open window. Enjoying the breeze even though his mood was bad.
“Royalty Sister!”
The high-pitched yet adorable voice made Reyhan sound familiar to his ears. With a heavy breath he slightly rewinded his wheelchair then turned it backwards. Instantly the man who looked at a 7-year-old girl immediately smiled to see her sweet cross.
The little girl who was none other than Dania her cousin Reyhan tilted her head which was short black hair. “Kakak? Brother, how to use a chair with wheels?”
Reyhan smiled blandly. “Sister is sick again, so Brother is sitting here, Dek.”
“Oh said Mother, Rey's sister has a deformed leg, yes?!”
Actually, Rada is sick, Dania said Reyhan was like that, but the truth is so. “Ehm, you are right. Oh yes, I haven't seen you in a long time. So, would you like to hug?”
With a wide smile, Reyhan's two hands compactly stretched forward so that Dania hugged her cousin's 17-year-old brother. Dania who was far in front of Reyhan immediately nodded enthusiastically and ran to hug Reyhan's body with her longing for Reyhan.
“Sister Rey, Dania kangen same Sister hihi!” Dania further tightened her little embrace on the body of the older cousin.
Reyhan smirked his smile by closing his calm eyes in his cousin's embrace. “Sister Rey also misses you, Nia.”
Dania let go of her embrace and looked at Reyhan who was still smiling at the little girl. “Kak, Dania want to ask can?”
“Bby dong, ask what? Question Dania would Brother answer.” Reyhan responded wholeheartedly by lifting Dania's light weight body onto her lap.
Dania who was already in the lap of her cousin's brother who she loved immediately slanted her body back to look at Reyhan. “How long is the time in the room that smells of drugs really long sleep? Though Dania woke up Kak Rey, Sister also did not wake up like a dead person in the movies where her laptop Brother.”
‘Buset's girlfriend is my sister one! Said to be dead, dong, I. The part where I know Dania woke me up in the position at that time I was Koma.’
“Sorry Rey Yes, Dania. At that time, Kakar was sick again, so Brother was tired until Dania woke up, Sister did not wake up. But, right now Brother has woken up again, continue also Brother is also quite healthy.”
Dania nodded who had the cheek of the kingpin. “Yang Dania inget tuh, Brother installed as a tool that closes the nose of the same mouth Sister, continues the color is clear that, Brother. Hmmm ... What's the same, huhaaa?? Oho! Also at the lower end of the tool there is a tube that is shaped like a plastic kayak, Kak.”
Reyhan only grimaces how clever his cousin describes the image of an oxygen device that surely Reyhan knows what it is. ‘Mantap lo, Deck. I knew I was flanked while I was Koma, hahaha !’
“Well, which makes Dania wonder ... Brother is also installed a lot of wires in his upper body, but how strange the cable is not electrified Kak Rey, yes?”
“Ha- huh?!”
“Bahahahahaha!!” Farhan had a giggle of frowning until he held his stomach so much that he let out a laugh from the cage. Like Jihan, Diana, Okta, the father of Dania, looked at Farhan's astonishment, who laughed like a man in a mass ghost trance.
Reyhan looked at the annoyed Farhan who easily laughed at his own son. Jihan who began to be uncomfortable at her husband's increasingly rampant laughter immediately elbowed Farhan's shoulder with the elbow of her left hand so that her husband stopped laughing.
‘Partially if I was electrocuted from a long time ago when I was still Coma, I am clearly dead, lah.’
“Only the cable is not electrified, yes Kak?”
“No dong, it's a cable that let the doctor know how Big Brother's development. If without the tool, the doctor or nurse does not know how big brother.”
‘Yeah when I made doang. No problem times, huh? Instead of me confused answer what, I can-can apes offered papa again !’
“Oalah, so let the doctor know the condition of Kak Rey has healed or not, yes?”
“Well! That's Dania pinter! Ih, so it's gemes just like youuu!!” Reyhan pinched the small pointed nose of his cousin's sister.
“Aaaa Sister! Sakiiitt!” With her inadmissibility over Reyhan's mischievous behavior, Dania immediately pushed the smooth face of her cousin's brother with her tiny palm.
“Reyhan, don't get her sister,” Jihan's fine reprimand and Reyhan replied with a hand gesture like being respectful to the flag on the field.
Reyhan who heard Dania's complaint with a whining tone at Jihan immediately laughed amusedly at the attitude that made her anxious. The friendly man then grabbed onto Dania's tiny soft body and pressed one of her cheeks on Dania's left bulging cheek.
...----------›◎:☬☬☬:◎‹---------...
On the patient's bed, Reyhan appears focused on looking at a picture of his grandmother and grandfather. That smile on the eyeballs that looked on the phone screen made Jihan and Farhan look silent with both faces sad expression. I don't know why they both became like that. Not only Reyhan's parents, but also his three best friends who have returned home from school.
A few minutes later, Reyhan let out a long sigh by closing his eyes for a moment. Staring at the picture of his grandmother, which he often called 'oma' Reyhan, recalled the permission to leave Farhan and Jihan, which seemed suspicious.
The friendly man then opened his narrow eyes and turned his parents intensely. “Ma, B. You guys can, can't you be honest with Reyhan what happened the same oma actually?”
“T-suddenly you ask like that, why, son?!” ask Jihan back with a grin.
“Honest, Mom. Papa too, that time must not just be a doang event, right? Must be just the reason you two are hiding from Reyhan.”
Farhan and Jihan are silent, having no answer for Reyhan. But after that, Farhan was seen staring fixedly at his wife along with a nod of his head like he was believing something. Jihan understood the code from her husband, then immediately approached Reyhan and clasped his right hand slightly tightly. Reyhan noticed that he clasped his hand and turned to look at his face.
“If you tell Reyhan about oma, is Reyhan ready to listen to her?”
Reyhan nodded softly with a silent mouth but his eyeballs were still in contact in his beautiful eyes. Reyhan gasped in surprise when he saw Jihan let out her tears from under her eyelids.
“Oma ... is dead, Nak.” The grip was getting tighter in Reyhan's hand, even he put his face on the palm of his son whose cheeks Jihan had been flooded with tears.
DEG !
Reyhan's body stiffened, not really expecting his only grandmother to have left him. Reyhan shook his head strongly along with tears that slowly came out and soaked his cheeks.
“Mama don't joke! Oma is not dead! Oma looks healthy, there is no way oma to leave the world, Ma!” Reyhan then turned to Farhan. “Pa, Mama lied, right?!”
Farhan shook his head weakly then approached Reyhan's patient bed. “What mom said, it's true, Rey. Oma is gone.”
After getting an answer from Farhan, Reyhan turned his head to the front of the television. No! Hiks, I beg you all this is just a dream!”
Reyhan scooped his face and looked at his parents with a feeling of remorse. “Why didn't Mama Papa tell Reyhan that oma is dead??!! Tega!!”
Hearing Reyhan's cry that seemed angry at both parents let alone his heart crumbled because of hearing this reality, Angga who was to his left immediately embraced him. “Quiet Rey, relax! Don't think gini. There is a reason why mama papa lo got this way to elo. They just need the right time to explain everything. Oma lo has long since died, so for now you should be able to let him go quietly. Yes?”
Freya's teary eyes were about to cry, her arms were grabbed by Jova. “Why?”
“Frey, that's Angga our best friend isn't, anyway?” whispered Jova stopped nudging and approached her mouth near Freya's ear.
“What are you talking about, huh? Yaiyah that's our best friend, how the hell?! Strange basis.”
“Ih, but Angga is so different, you know! Try to see the Angga. Never do you know Angga hugged a guy even though he hugged his best friend. Angga is most sensitive when hugged by a guy.”
Freya clucked by staring at Jova. “Commonly dong, ah !”
“Hah, lest Angga's soul be exchanged with Reyhan's soul, again! Pas they both slept malem earlier.”
Freya who was upset at the words of Jova nang ngaco without cueing, immediately pinched the waist of her tomboyfriend. “Accused!”
Jihan and Farhan feel guilty towards Reyhan whose son is now dissolved in grief. But for them this is the perfect time to tell Reyhan the truth today. Angga let go of his embrace and saw his friend who became silent. Silent but the view that Angga saw he did not daydream, the gray-eyed young man turned to rubbing Reyhan's back to give peace of heart and mind his best friend.
Reyhan lowered his head along with the look of his grim face, dripping his dry tears then his left hand wiping his tears. The man really did not expect, a grandmother he loved so much had gone after his grandfather who 4 years ago had left the world. Does Reyhan have to let go of his grandmother? Yes, Reyhan must be able to mengikhlaskan departure omanya so that he can be calm in nature there.
