Only four days Nara and mother were in Bengkulu. So nyamam and serene to be on the earth raflesia. There is no bus frenzy like in big cities in general. There is no traffic jam like in Jakarta. It all feels close here. High buildings can be counted with fingers here.
Many people do not know the natural beauty of this city. Beautiful small town on the island of Sumatra, the beautiful land of Nara's birth.
A small town full of stories, Nara's life story.
Bengkulu City seemed to sink compared to the two provinces that flank it. Lampung and South Sumatra provinces are more advanced than this raflesia earth.
If you knew !! this Bengkulu city is famous for its stunning long beach panoramic beauty. Hence every Nara coming home from traveling out of town always take the time to just stop by to enjoy the sound of the pounding waves of the long beach. All the problems faced by Nara seemed to melt with the waves that came to change.
Only the fourth day Nara can take time to go to the long beach. At 6. 30 am, on a motorbike given by her father, Nara enjoys the cool morning air in the area. Lucky for Nara and the people of Bengkulu. This long beach tour takes fifteen minutes from Bengkulu city center. Likewise, if Nara departs from her home to the beach. It was only fifteen minutes from his home.
For an hour Nara was alone playing to the beach. Just alone, usually he always used to be with the late Adeline came here. And Adeline faithfully accompanied him to play with the waves.
After the beach at eight in the morning. The sun is shining brightly. This early weather has made Nara angry. The end of the day is very extreme weather.
Arriving home, Nara saw the door open. Nara gets her mother sitting on the sofa long chair while holding her phone in her right hand. Looks like he just got a call from someone.
Mother looked deeply sad. His face was wet with teardrops.His eye gaze implied a wound. Only the sound of crying still sounded. Nara then approached her mother right in front of her.
"Mother why? why did mom cry, "asked Nara while sweeping away the remaining tears on her mother's face.
Mother then fell down in front of Nara who was standing. Almost Nara staggered to hold the weight of the mother's body. Nara then held her mother in her arms. And Nara was crying for it.
Nara then lay down her mother's body slowly on the long sofa she was sitting on. Then Nara tried to wake her drowning mother.
"Mother .. wake up. Wake up mom, "asked Nara while shaking her mother's body.
Because getting shocks a few times from Nara. Mother's eyes slowly began to open. He then nodded back to remember the news he had received.
" Mom, say something so that I know what makes you sad, "asked Nara as she wiped the tears that came back to drip in both corners of your eyes.
"Nara .. This afternoon we have to go to Jakarta. You need to call Arif, take us to the airport right now, "mom's orders are slow.
" Yes, mother, what's wrong ? Why should we go to Jakarta, "ask Nara slowly to her mother.
"di-na ... Dina .. she died Nara. The pain is coming back, son. At seven o'clock in the morning your father found him dead in his room. Your father tried to take her to the hospital, but her life was not helped anymore, "the bright mother with tears glazed over her face.
Nara cried as well. How not, he had only been feeling the presence of a sibling for a few months. And ... now he's alone again. Being an only child again.
"Mother .. This is impossible. Surely Mbak Dina did not why - why right, "sobs Nara lamented the departure of her sister.
Mother slowly - the land began to wake up, she then embraced Nara who was not willing to let go of Dina. The figure of a sibling who he began to care for. But God willed another. Rela is not willing, Nara must be strong to face this. Moreover, Nara must be able to strengthen her mother. It's the mother's toughest ordeal, after 25 years of being able to reunite with her missing child. But only a few months in the process. Now he's gone home. Going away will never come back ....
Almost an hour Mother and Nara still cry over Dina's departure for long. Suddenly Nara's father came home. Dad looks very tired, understandably his job as a bus driver between provinces is so tiring.
Dad shed tears. When Nara stammered - brick told about the death of Dina. She loved her stepson for a month and a half. Since Dina decided to stay in Bengkulu.
Not long after, Nara's phone rang. Someone called him, it was Arif. It's not usually ten like this Arif calls Nara.
" Nara Assalamualaikum. "
"Waalaikum greetings brother Arif. "
"You're good - not good ! " ask Arif worried. From the morning Arif sent the WA message, but there was no reply from Nara.
"Sir Arif .. hiks .. hiks ., "reply with Nara as she wept.
"Yes, what is Nara, " replied Arif worriedly.
"Sir .. hiks .. hiks, Dina died."
"What ? the inalilahi wainalahi roziun. Sick or why yes, "ask Arif in a soft voice.
Brother Arif can take us to the airport now, "pinta Nara as he pleased.
"Mhrs ... Di-na was found this morning dead, " replied Nara with stammering bricks.
"When are you going to Nara's Jakartanya ? If I wanted to take you now, "gag Arif.
"It wants to be ready, brother, "reply Nara.
"Yes, you wait at home. I'm going to your house now ? " answered, turning off his phone.
When Arif wants to get out of his chair. The goose directly prevented it.
" Rif, who died ? " tanya Angga still looks calm.
"You don't know !! Nara just told me that Dina .. died, " replied Arif.
" What ?? Inalilahi wainalahi roziun, "ansaid Angga in shock and sat back down to his work chair which was behind Arif's chair.
Angga was so shocked to hear the shocking news. Dina's death made her sad. The sorrow of a lover who lived a lover for - long. Half his heart was broken .. that love went away again. Go for long - long ....
