Let Me Choose

Rendra's Story

"Alya is in my village deep in an area in East Java."

"Can't you?" Desty between sure and not, believe not believe.

"At that time I was on my way home because I wanted to see my family, my parents and my hometown. My village at that time was in a natural disaster eruption of the erupting mountain."

"Yes, I know, but from tv."

Rendra stopped drinking the rest of the drink in his glass.

"In the night bus I was one seat next to a woman who didn't say anything. Don't say anything, don't show any expression, When I ask if this Mommy is drunk or dizzy or why?"

Desty looked at what Rendra was saying. This can be believed what not?

"When I asked him how many times why, he just answered. Saying no dizziness is okay and she only occasionally drinks mineral water in her bottle."

Silent.

"I kept asking where perhaps I was going with my goal. Because tonight's bus will stop before dawn. While she was a woman, my fear arose, the fear of anything happening. Want me to accompany him to be his friend even if only a friend on the way."

"Not a little talk, either?"

"I asked him where he wanted to go, wanted to go down where and continued to connect to the area where he answered do not know, do not know, stop this bus and where his feet go he stands he said, yes I wonder. Because of the rigid chat I have with all acquaintances so that we feel familiar, and can pry the information turns out he went where without a purpose at all, a random bus ride also seems not to see which direction the ride comes from which is important to take the bus out of town already point."

"Yes ibuuuun... Alya, you're all over it."

"From there we started chatting and finally I offered to come to my village which was again affected by the disaster, also I offered to volunteer in the midst of the community that was again affected by the disaster. Who knows if there is wisdom and kindness than no purpose at all I also know that she is pregnant and left her family."

"Astagfirullah Alya, so now he's in his village lo, eh Mas?"

"Yes, he lives in my parents' house, his day-to-day activities at the refugee camp teach children, learn, sing and others also like to make cakes and teach their mothers."

Desty nodded in understanding.

"Next I want to know just like at the beginning of my question, it turns out my estimate, right, Alya did not come from an ordinary family from Alya the son of an official in this region I really do not know but I saw from his initial appearance that people were definitely not from ordinary people who looked clean, clean, fashionable, neat, well-groomed, and also a lot of expertise that he has even told me that he ever went to college."

"So Mas Rendra wants me to deliver it to his parents?"

"Well, what's good, but Alya's definitely doing fine at my parents' place."

"We should go to his parents' house together, let them feel calm, did Alya tell Mas Rendra to see me?"

"I did suggest to Alya half force so that she can inform her parents. But he still did not want to and I gave other input at least tell me where his parents let me meet. But he instead gave your phone number as his best friend to be able to convey everything to his parents."

"Ah I don't want to be alone, we're alone to his parents' house I'm afraid they're urgent while I don't know too much about his whereabouts there. So Mending Mas Rendra told both his parents and I'm sure his parents want to pick him up there."

"I'm confused afraid Alya isn't ready and still wants to stay there."

But at least if both parents already know it might even have looked there and Alya wants to stay there will probably understand. But I think both her parents feel better Alya is not far from her side, Alya's only child how anxious they can be we imagine."

"Now we go to his house."

"But I'm at work, in the afternoon, I'll wait in my office, okay?"

"Where is your office, Mas Rendra?"

Rendra mentioned his office address.

"And that's why there's a TMC hospital, right?"

"Indeed my office percis sebrang hospital, why?"

"Oh, it's okay that I only know that the road is the famous hospital."

"Yes, come out at four in the afternoon I wait there."

They agreed and split up, Rendra moved and took care of Desty to the parking lot to finish her job just a little more.

"Alya, Alya, all your old friends and relatives have been surrounded by your parents were questioned and checked but none of them you stop by. Turns out you're so far away I'm sorry about everything that happened to you Alya why do you have to leave all the trouble behind? isn't the doctor trying to take responsibility for you even though he is married maybe he gave up his household for the responsibility of you.

Desty wears a helmet and a motor starter and runs the bike slowly.

Shown in the eyes of Desty Alya living what kind of refuge and living in the place where her parents Rendra is really something that is not her habit. But because of the compulsion all lived all that is the maturation of Alya.

Actually seeing Alya and hearing her want to volunteer and devote herself to humanity in the refugee camp is amazing. Ordinary in service now must serve and plunge with sweat, heat, and dust, amid the people who are in distress.

The problem is not finished only left behind still have to be faced and resolved, with deliberation and agreement.

Let Rendra speak to her parents and what her response will be like.

It is possible to see him immediately, although while following his son's desire to still live and settle in Rendra's place and activities in the refugee camp.

A little relieved in Desty's heart at least know Alya's whereabouts now and in good condition, maybe even better than when he was at home.

Can't wait to break up office hours, Mas Rendra is so what in the office?

His man is very polite even himself who likes to be wrong, say lo again lo when he is not used to talk lo me, funny indeed.
