Vishnu continued to stare at the paper given by his father. His chest felt very tight because he could do nothing to heal his sister. He was very familiar with the decision of the expert doctors who said that his sister's life only depends on the tools installed in his body. But to give up his sister at this time, it seems he is still not able to. Her tears did not come back, and she quickly wiped them away. But again, his tears came out with a swift accompanied by the sound of sobs that he had tried to hold. It hurts so much..
Suddenly the door of his room was knocking, making Vishnu quickly stop his crying and try to hold back his tears to come out.
"Come in.." exclaimed Vishnu from within with a voice that still sounded slightly vibrating.
The door opened, and it was Daniah who came. "You busy?" he said while sitting in front of Vishnu.
Vishnu shook his head. "no" he replied by trying to smile.
Daniah stared at Vishnu's face inside. Vishnu quickly lowered his head. He didn't want his brother to know he was crying. Daniah sighed and moved from her seat to the side of Vishnu. "You just crying?" looking at Vishnu up close. Vishnu shook his head. Daniah smiled faintly "You're not very good at lying Vishnu. Come story.. What makes you cry?" Vishnu still shook his head. Daniah patted Vishnu's shoulder gently. "What's wrong? Why don't you tell me? Does this have anything to do with Daniel?" with the weight of Vishnu gave the paper that had previously depended on Daniah. "What's this?" Confused ask.
"Papa told me to explain it to mama" he said briefly
Daniah who still did not understand the purpose of his sister's speech, tried to read the contents of the paper. With a broken feeling he was no longer able to speak. Daniah was crying so much.
Seeing his brother crying, Vishnu tried to calm Daniah by hugging her body. "I'm sorry.. I can't do anything" he said softly.
Elsewhere.
With a severed breath Tama entered his house. "What's wrong?" he asked Kanya who was seen crying in front of the door of Cintya's room while holding her bloodied hand.
"Sister." said Dini surprised to see the state of Kanya.
"I'm sorry." said Kanya crying "I accidentally left a knife in her room." with a body that shook in shock she explained what had just happened. "He tried to cut off his hand with a knife.. I'm sorry." he said sobbing. "I just went to the toilet for a while.. But she.." cried again
Seeing Kanya's immortality, Dini moved closer to Kanya and gave a hug. I can't imagine what Kanya was. Even the wound on his hand from being hit by a knife while trying to stop the actions of Cintya, it was not felt. Though the wound is deep enough and to bleed a lot.
Tama went straight into the room to meet Cintya who looked scared on her bed. Tama tries to control her emotions. Slowly he stepped closer to Cintya and sat down before her. "What did sister do? When is a sister like this?.. What do you think, with brother killing himself all these problems can be solved?" Tama's chest began to feel tight and her eyes began to water. " Why do you always try to end your life? Don't you think about me and Dad? Do you think you're the only one who suffers? What about us... Wanna see when you keep torturing us like this." the cries broke. "I beg you brother.. Don't be like this.. I beg you.." hold Cintya's hand tightly.
"What's the point of me living? You'd better let me die." said Cintya just like that with tears flowing, but she quickly wiped.
Tama looked at Cintya. "Why are you so selfish, huh? Is that all that's in your head?" he said in a high voice. "If you really want to die.. Okay.." move out of the room to pick up the knife on the table.
"What do you want Tam to do.." Dini tries to restrain Tama, but Tama does not care about Dini's speech.
"Tam.." Kanya who was still frightened moved from her seat while looking at Tama who went back into the room of Cintya.
Tama returned to the face of Cintya while thrusting a knife covered in blood. "Well.. You want to die, don't you." Give Cintya the knife.
"Come on.. What else are you waiting for, huh? You really want to die, don't you?" Tama couldn't hold back her emotions. It hurt so much to see her brother think about ending his life. It felt like her sacrifice had been in vain all along.
Cintya looked at Tama with her tears falling just like that. He wanted to leave this world, but he did not think that Tama would give him a knife and tell him to die.
"Do as you please.. You don't have to think about us. Because after you die, me and Dad will catch up with you in the same way" Tama said, filled with emotion. "Maybe after this we can live quietly up there.. Do it.."
Hearing Tama's words, Cintya immediately regained her senses and then cried sobbing and removed the knife from her hand. Dini quickly picked up the knife and took it out.
Tama kneels before Cintya.."Yaw..." Tama grabbed her brother's body into her arms. "Never think like this again. Do you think that after you leave, I will be able to live in this world? You and Dad are all I have. I beg you not to leave me." Tama's true affection made Cintya cry even more sobbing.
How much time passed, Tama came out of Cintya's room and sat down with Kanya and Dini.
"How is Cintya." asked Kanya who was so worried about her friend's condition.
"He was calm." he replied slowly. "What about your hand? We should go to the hospital." staring at Kanya's hands that still bleed must have been wrapped using Dini's handkerchief.
"Ah.. You don't have to worry. My hand is okay." lied it.
Tama grabbed Kanya's hand and opened the cloth that wrapped her hand. He saw Kanya's wound that was scratched quite deep and long. He also moved from his seat to take the p3k equipment. Slowly Tama began to clean the wound on Kanya's palm and gave the red drops. After that he wrapped it back up using a bandage.
Kanya looked at Tama concernedly. He knew very well what Tama was feeling right now. It must have been very heavy for him to bear such a burden. "Thank you." he said grudgingly.
Tama did not answer Kanya's words.. "Eat this medicine so that you do not have a fever. "give medicine to relieve pain. Kanya nodded slowly and obeyed Tama's orders.
After finishing, Tama also moved from her seat to go to the terrace of her house. There he just stood silent with his gaze fixed forward. Wearied... That's how he feels right now. Tired of the circumstances that forced him to stay strong and strong for the sake of the brother he loved so much. But his feelings cannot be lied to. No matter how hard he tried, he was just a very young man and also very weak. Never terbesit in his mind to end his life because he could not see his brother who is getting worse and worse. But he unbundled his intentions, as the shadow of his brother smiling at him flashed across his head.
Approaching Tama. "You okay?"
"Hmmm.." Answer Tama briefly without looking to Dini.
"If you want to cry.. Cry." face Tama and spread out both hands with a smile. At least this is all he can do.
Tama lowered her head for a while sighing and then entered into Early embrace. "I'm sure you must be very tired.. Just be patient a little more.. I'm sure all of this will be over soon." stroked Tama's back gently. Tama just shut up. It could not be denied, if the Early hug slightly made his heart calm. "I'm so proud of you"." he continued with a tight embrace. I'm sorry I can't always be by your side.. I hope you can always be strong even though I know you're very fragile. Dini wiped her tears that just came out.
He said that patience and perseverance of a person in dealing with a problem there is a limit. But it seems, for the sake of a loved one, that patience and stubbornness seem to have no limits anymore.
