Like Drama's

thirteen.

I dropped my phone unconsciously after hanging up the phone from Alya just now.

Dimas is dead.

I felt a great fear. Since last night Reiki I can't see or call his cell phone. I was hoping he could explain to me about Dimas. And Alya just told me that Dimas is dead.

This what the fuck?

That kind-hearted Dimas, Dimas who cares deeply about street children and is willing to share.

Why did Dimas leave?

What happened to Dimas?

Alya only learns that Dimas has a heart attack. Did ya? All this time neither I nor Alya ever knew about Dimas' pain. Why did Dimas die?

I hold tightly to my chest. There was a feeling of tightness mixed with fear filling my head. Don't let Dimas' death be because of me. I'm afraid that it's true, based on a message sent by Reiki that night two days ago.

My tears can't be contained. I was in the corner of my room. Not knowing what to do, I instead cried roaring remembering the figure of Dimas who had been present in my life. The good-natured dimas. Friendly and generous Dimas.

I'm guilty if what Reiki said is true, then I'm the cause of Dimas's death.

But, uh,

What did Reiki do until Dimas had to die?

What did that man do to a man as good as Dimas?

What's wrong Dimas? Didn't I reject it? Don't I have nothing to do with Dimas?

What has Reiki done?

...°°°...

Almost two months since the death of Dimas, far away in the land of the people, I have lived my days in silence. I'm not as happy as I used to be, and I'm more sensitive. Every time I hear Reiki's name being called by Om Mandala or Aunt Wid, I stop right away. A million questions I wanted to shout at the man. But Reiki seemed to be swallowed by the earth. He didn't come home at all. I once asked Aunt Wid because I was so curious, but Aunt Wid only replied that Reiki was busy. That'sallthatis.

The newsless state of Reiki made me feel like this was my chance to get out of this house. Because if the man existed, it would have been impossible.

There was also a debate between me and Om Mandala and Aunt Wid who did not approve of my decision. I want to be independent of course. Their objection was finally defeated by the various strong reasons of the grandma that seemed to be on my side. Though I know that grandma did not like my presence in that house.

In the end they all accepted my decision to leave the house, of course with the note that I should not hesitate to always ask them for help.

"As for the three of us to continue kayak first," said Alya after two days I spend with him. We're sleeping in bed tonight.

"True jomblo." said Radit who was chewing nuts in front of the television.

"Lo's also single, a horse's wart!" reply Alya.

"Gue wants the three of us to be together. Even the graduation together."

"We always have to be three porepers, Raj."

"Oil the steel tires!" chirps Radit again. He gets a pillow throw from Alya but he's casual, staying focused on political news on tv. That's common.

"Your parents canceled their return?"

I'm nodding. "Yes that. Bokap again. Two days of no work. It's okay, just tired. It'll be so healthy, it'll fly right here."

"You are a real hard worker!"

"Yes. I want to quickly graduate and find a job so I can help you improve our lives."

"Life is good, times ah."

"Yes, thank God. Yeah, well, the point is I have to be a reliable kid."

"Dengerin tuh, Al," said Radit.

"Busyet is very noisy. Watch TV with your eyes, not your mouth!" spray Alya on Radit.

I laughed softly. I want us to be like this forever too. Since white school Abu we have been together, even until graduation later he wants to be together. I felt like we were triplets. I liked the sorrow we went through three. The bitter sweetness of adolescence and adulthood. And I don't want to lose those I've considered more than friends. They're my brothers. forever.

"Waikiki no news yet?" Alya always told me when Reiki would come home. "It's a good thing you haven't planted a seed like him, so you haven't lost anything when he became a bang toyib like this."

I'm clucking. "Don't mention her name, Al. Cerems. Fear of suddenly appearing like a nettles."

"That means you're kangen dong?" Alya moved her two eyebrows teasing me.

"No."

"Don't make it hard!"

"It's a habit!"

Ja. I'm. Kangen. Her. Bad right?! I lied to them so they wouldn't worry. I also tried to bury this longing slowly so that it would disappear and disappear indefinitely. There was no heartbreak in volume 2, only part of the short story I was in as a cinderella.

The story of Dimas's death was just that info we heard. That Dimas was sick. There was no further explanation for the rumour of alleged pressure from the Maheswara family. But for sure, until death I would be curious about what Reiki did to Dimas, regardless of my longing feelings for the man. I feel like a little bit of Reiki has something to do with Dimas.

"Udah sincere Dimas right?! I don't think it's possible that she has anything to do with Reiki" Alya said.

Radit interrupted, "Al, we promised not to discuss Dimas' problem again, right?!"

"Yes-yes .. sorry."

Radit doesn't want me to be thinking and feeling sad anymore. I know it. That's why we have since promised not to discuss Dimas's issue. Everything is destiny. And we, or rather I, must accept it with sincerity.

"Where are you going?" I asked Alya who had gotten out of bed and walked to pick up the keys.

Radit also looked to follow Alya's movements.

"You pay the pulse. I just got a pulse message at Mas Agus."

"Like me. My motor. My feet. My calf. If my calves are big, you want responsibility?"

"No."

Alya just cheered and immediately went out of the boarding house. Stay me both radit who relax in Alya's bed. It's normal, so neither I nor Radit feel uncomfortable.

"Find a girlfriend there!" radit said suddenly. He was lying near me. We're used to it like this, without being playful. "No need to baperin the Om."

I'm thinly shaken. "No, no baper!"

Radit sighed softly. "Gue knew you a long time ago, Ra. I know you're starting to get interested in him." I did not want to answer, until Radit turned to my face which was close to his face. "But, there are too many obstacles if you keep maxain–"

"Don't be a big brother!" cut me with a jutek-like tone.

"Gue is a big brother, because I'm five months older than you."

"Yes yes .. I know it."

"What does it mean?"

I pinched her cheek a little hard. "Whatever you mean, Dit."

"No pinches" she stroked her cheek that I just cut my nails.

"It's good to have your cheeks pinched."

"Not turned?"

"Huh?"

Radit pinched my cheek so hard I screamed. "Sick, crazy!"

He laughed loudly, and I even returned the pinch to his stomach until he was in pain.

"Absolutely, Raju! Forgive me!"

"Bodos. You are evil!"

When Radit and I were joking around, suddenly the door opened.

BRAKKK!!

Radit and I turned, without bothering to get up. Because in our shadow of course it's Alya who just came home.

But actually ...

That's Reiki.

God.

With a stiff face and eyes that shone sharply with a flash of anger, he stepped wide and walked up to Radit. The man dragged Radit and beat him mercilessly.

Kontan I got up and screamed. It felt like my chest was pounding hard, and my body was hot. Damn, my feet are stifled.

"Stop!" my meaningless scream. Because Reiki keeps hitting Radit.

The blow was too much.

It's not balanced. Because I see Radit can't dwell when Reiki is too strong. Radit's face was too full of blood, and I was so scared that my tears didn't flow.

I was helpless. It felt like I almost fainted when Alya walked in with two male neighbors who instantly pulled Reiki from Radit.

"DON'T TOUCH MY GIRL!" exclaim Reiki as powerful as possible.

In a limp I finally managed to get down the bed and headed straight for Alya on the floor who was currently holding onto the helpless Radit. Alya was crying, I was crying more.

"Radiiitts ... Banguuunn ...." Alya hysterical.

I patted Radit's cheek covered in blood. "Ra-dit ... wake up .. hiks ..." I cried no less pilunya than Alya. We cry for our brother.

I heard the neighbor there told us to take Radit to the hospital. But Alya and I were too shocked to be able to move or think healthy.

At that moment I felt a pull on my arm. The pull was so strong that it dragged me out of the carousel.

Reiki who was as strong as she could maintain her hand checks on me, because I tried my hardest to break away as well.

This what the fuck?

That man wants to kill Radit! Raditku and Alya.

And now he just drags me away without caring about Radit.

"Lepaaaaaaaassssss!" I screamed as hard as I could when my body almost put him in his car. "Tolongin Radit .. hiks ... to hospital .. hiks ... tolooong ...."

I knelt in front of him. Looking at her with tears flowing and a sigh of excitement.

His hand didn't even let go of the check on my hand. His eyes were still shining as sharp as before.

"How dare you betray?" his voice was cold and sharp, as sharp as his eyes were looking at me furiously.

whahuh?

What is this about exactly?

Why should I betray?

What did I betray?

...Yak! Reiki is back!...
