JUDITH
ESCAPED FROM DEATH



For Lisa who has grown contaminated by addictive substances-ever become a drug addict has also routinely consumed sedatives-tablets-tablets headache drugs that have been downed are not effective enough to break his life as fast as he expected.


His body's tolerance for drugs was high enough that the drugs reacted slowly. If he gets help as soon as possible, he'll be fine. That night, Lisa stayed at the ER and the next day, after being declared no significant problems, she was transferred to the foundation hospital for further observation.


Sister Eva and Sister Asti interrogated him. However, Lisa did not want to answer or explain the reason why she was desperate to kill herself. While sobbing the girl just begged her parents not to be told. In exchange, Lisa asks Dewangga to be contacted.


The young man appeared about fifteen minutes later, after Sister Eva called him. When he entered the foundation complex, the atmosphere was still very quiet because it was only six o'clock, which only a few people saw, here and there was cleaning.


Sitting pensively beside the gurney with straight legs makes it look half slumped from the chair. The eyes that usually have a sharp aura are now staring at the face of the cousin who is deep.


Many times Dewangga sighed tired and inwardly gave thanks, because Lisa prefers to contact him so that for a while he can feel safe. He could not imagine what would happen if Lisa's parents were told first. Maybe they make a noise, and he must be blamed for suggesting that they do not contact Lisa for a while.


In contemplation, his memory unconsciously penetrated into the past - just a glance then again he let out a long sigh.


"Sa, sa. Why hasn't it changed, too?" He muttered while rubbing a rough face. "Previously cut the pulse now take medicine, then what else?"


The young man shook his head while clucking, feeling sliced and stupid for having forgotten the fact how fragile Lisa was, was also very narrow of her mind. He's got horrified creeps. Fortunately, his cousin's sister was just flying.


Oh yea!


As if remembering something, he suddenly straightened up and hurriedly pulled out his phone from his jacket pocket, not long after he was busy typing a message.

Almost overnight Yudith and Ririsma sat in the dining room. Talk at length, be honest about each other's plans, reinforce each other, and agree to take a decision that they won't say anything before the situation is clear.


In the last option Ririsma agreed with great force. However, he would agree that Lisa's actions were immediately reported.


However, he could understand Yudith's intentions. Not to run away from responsibility, but Yudith who used to think about everything in depth and consider things from all aspects, feel better not to rashly admit that they are the cause of Lisa to such recklessness.


Because, although most likely yes, but still there are other possible reasons. They don't know for sure what came to Lisa's mind at the time - just to guess. If they confessed, then inevitably Yudith also had to explain the reason why he did it. If Yudith tells the truth, Lisa's situation can get more difficult and the possibility of being expelled remains. Yudith didn't want that to happen.


When Ririsma told him about his plan involving the Deity, Yudith advised instead. According to Yudith, in conditions like yesterday-yesterday should Lisa instead need moral support from her parents, not even kept away. Feelings of pressure because they feel isolated can make a person more upset and finally reckless. Yudith did want to teach Lisa a lesson, but in the slightest it was unthinkable. In fact, he wants to approach it well.


When Ririsma said that she was doing that to prevent Lisa from being brought home, Yudith said that Ririsma should not have to worry. Because Yudith was sure, Lisa's parents wouldn't be that crazy. It felt impossible, as soon as Lisa asked to go home and immediately taken home for no apparent reason.


The point is, last night whatever Yudith said despite being conveyed subtly and wisely, enough to make Ririsma feel cornered, but the glasses girl herself realized that she was indeed to blame. Too excited and rash to act without thinking about the consequences. Ririsma felt, indirectly, she was the one who had encouraged Lisa to do the reckless act.


This morning, in the parking lot of the foundation bus, where the students and some employees were waiting for the bus driver to come, naturally they formed small groups and talked about the events of last night. To make those who did not know to know.


Yudith and Ririsma stood away from the others to speak more freely about the events of the night without any risk of being heard by them.


"Well! Now I'm really mad at that same fox. Mampus ya mampus dech." I don't know how many times, from last night until this morning Ririsma kept repeating the same sentence.


The guilt that had enveloped his heart immediately disappeared after Yudith told him the truth. What is now he was furious half-dead, his heart and mouth were incessantly blasphemous.


"Lo is also really ...." To his best friend, though furious, but not many words spoken. Always so, he seemed unable to finish his words because he did not find a suitable vocabulary to call out Yudith.


"Mending reported. I don't care about getting sanctioned which is important that the child gets a proper reply! Issued if necessary kayak Bu Cici!" This sentence has been repeatedly said with the same intonation, fiery like an orator who is encouraging the protesters.


It caught the attention of the others, but they could not hear clearly what the two were talking about.


"Lo it yeah ...." Again he did not continue his words, not knowing what to say to Yudith. "Well! I told Andreas only once."


"Don't make it think." And those were the only words that Yudith spoke in response to the ravings of Rirism.


"Better he knows it from you alone than from anyone else."


"Other than us, does anyone else know?" Yudith's relaxed and indifferent manner of speech made Ririsma grieve bitterly.


Ririsma said nothing more. Yudith's words were like a mark to him. Anyway, he's right. Now that is being talked about is Lisa who tried to kill herself, not Lisa who had pushed Yudith to fall down the stairs. So, what Andreas will hear from mouth to mouth must also be about the hot news that is circulating, while the reason why Lisa was desperate to do that will still be a mystery.


Yudith really wanted to keep the truth, if necessary until the end lest anyone know. He also hoped that all these problems could be solved without him having to reveal the truth to the sisters.


As he stared hard at Yudith, Ririsma was startled by the sound of her cell phone, and he immediately pulled it out of the pocket of the blazer.


I'm now at Lisa's hospice. If you can, meet me.


Holy hooch! Ririsma patted the jidat. Last night he and Yudith talked about the young man, but forgot to inform about Lisa.


"Why?" Yudith's forehead waved.


From the face, Yudith's gaze descended upon Ririsma's cell phone. Without even asking, he could conclude that the message Ririsma had just received must have been from Dewangga.


Why Dewangga? In such a situation why were not his parents contacted? Is it possible that his parents have also been contacted, but have not been able to come?


"Yeah, Dith. Mr. Muh has come." Ririsma poked Yudith on the shoulder as a short-bellied man appeared, he was Mr. Muhadi, the bus driver.


As he stepped, Yudith looked pensive as many questions swirled in his mind. The sound of a rushing step from behind caught the girl's attention. When he looked at Andreas, it was what he found, running after him.


"Yesterday you said you wanted to join the other bus," said Ririsma once Andreas has joined.


Follow the other bus is actually better because it is picked up, while if you take the bus that is usually boarded by Yudith and these friends, those who have to come to the parking lot.


"Morning, Dith. Hi, Ris ...." In between his breaths, Andreas greeted them first before finally responding to Ririsma's speech, "The God's Mask was the phone, he said now in the hospital guardianship foundation Lisa. What the hell is Lisa sick of?"


Andreas took out a handkerchief from his pants pocket and used it to wipe the sweat off his face. The light blue handkerchief that Yudith gave him was always taken everywhere.


Yudith smiled faintly as Andreas caught him looking at the handkerchief. The two stared at each other meaningfully before finally getting in line to get on the bus.


"We went there together. He just texted me." From the front Ririsma turned and chimed.


"OKAY. But what exactly does Lisa hurt?" 


"It's not sick, it's suicide." The answer came from one of the bus passengers.


"Huh? How can?!"


"Later the story," said Yudith lirih and Andreas who was really curious had to shut up.

After returning from the foundation hospital, Sister Eva directly contacted Lisa's parents. Last night in a panic, he forgot to call them, and by the time he remembered it was midnight.


Because at that time Lisa's condition was declared fine, she did not want to disturb their rest. When Lisa pleaded with her parents not to be contacted, Sister Eva was forced to agree to keep the girl calm.


However, how is it possible with such an incident Sister Eva would be secretly alone. Of course not. Coordinating with his legal family is mandatory so that if there is anything the foundation is not blamed.


"Mom don't have to worry anymore, Lisa's fine. The Lord is guarding her."


From across there came the sound of a bit of Mrs Wijayanto. Sister Eva was sure that the woman must have been trying hard to calm her heart.


"Thank you, Sister. And I beg you, forgive my daughter, Sus."


"It's okay, Mom. We're the ones who should apologize for neglecting to watch over Lisa."


"I understand, Sister. I know how well my daughter."


"Alright then, Miss Wijayanto. You can come see Lisa at any time."


"One more time thank you, Sister."


After that, Sister Eva immediately disconnected, because she also had to rush back to the foundation complex to do her job, which is teaching at PLB.


Mrs Wijayanto sat pensively on the edge of the bed holding the phone tightly, next to her was a husband whose face looked weary.


"It looks like the sisters don't know what Lisa is doing yet" said the man in a soft voice impressed lazy.


"Looks not yet. If you know Sister Eva would have said, but this was just the news about Lisa."


"We need to talk to Yudith or who that kid Lisa's been pushing."


"Mom wants that too. Because of her talk, Lisa almost got fucked." Lady Wijayanto blamed Yudith for what happened to his daughter. He thought, if only that time Yudith did not want to teach Lisa a lesson, Lisa would not have thought of suicide.


"Mom don't say that. We can't call Lisa for a while it's the idea of the God, not Yudith."


"So, Dad. If that Yudith wasn't so pretentious, this wouldn't have happened."


Mr. Wijayanto who has memorized the habits of his wife, does not want to respond too much. In her heart she believes, if only that night they did not contact Lisa, maybe Lisa would not think to recklessly.


Mr. Wijayanto suspected that Lisa's actions were based on a strong desire to show his defense. Because his daughter knew very well that the mother's heart was very weak.
