Of the few friends I have right now, Bray is the one who contacts and cares about me the most. I lost Arfa who only contacted me once in a while when I just moved to the island of Obi. After I reprimanded her about Deya, Arfa began to reluctantly contact me. Either because he was busy, disappointed, or accidentally forgot his little friend. Andi Syarif, a friend who still has a kinship with me is often contacted. He is a good man to make a cheerful atmosphere but often scolded just because of trivial affairs. Later he was angry because I did not have time to open the gift box he gave while on the way home from Makassar. Even more angry when I found out I went to Makassar without saying goodbye to him and learned of Bray and Maudy's case from Farhana's doctor. Not directly from me.
"Who do you think I am, Fifa? Why wasn't I told that Firdaus was hit by a poisoned arrow in your father's burial ground? Why wasn't I told also when her ex Firdaus came to run over and mistreat you in the aviary? Even when I send a short message to send a parrot, you just answer to call Farhana's doctor." Andi was angry on the phone. I had to keep the device away from the ears so worried that the high tone that creeps in makes the eardrum rupture.
I was confused where to start answering his long series of questions. My psychic condition is not normal. Besides, I'm not used to telling people all my problems. If it can be solved on its own, I don't want anyone to know I have a problem. I think everyone has their own problems so it's not worth it to disturb each other.
"You should have told me the same thing. We can solve the problem here without involving grandma. Poor thing. Grandma is old. There's been too much trouble."
Frankly I'm confused. I really don't want to involve an old and sickly grandmother. But I don't know how to solve Maudy's problems without involving my grandmother. Andi doesn't know who I'm dealing with. In my hometown I was just a rural girl who could easily be trampled by the owner of money and power. While in this Bugis land I can take refuge with the noble blood inherited by my father's family.
Apart from power relations, in this case I did not ask anyone for help. Bray devised a plan to protect me on his own initiative based on doctor Hans's report and his knowledge of Maudy's nature and habits. Everything that happens is not of my will. Feeling the pain of the wound and the inner burden had consumed almost all of my energy. I can't think of anything at all. Blanks. My empty mind was hijacked by pain and sadness.
"Sorry, Brother Sharif! My doctor said I can't say much." Fortunately I can still use that excuse so that Andi does not come after me.
"Yes already. Next time don't forget to tell me. Although Firdaus has a heart for you, do not take it seriously. We don't know who he really is and what he means to you. The closeness of your relationship can make people misunderstand. Moreover, he had such a sadistic fiancee. Next time don't have any personal business with him again huh."
Andi can say that right now. Yesterday when I was about to avoid Bray's offer to take a helicopter with him, he was the one who was excited to take the opportunity. When he arrived at the location he immediately went to his office to get a good attendance record regardless of how my fate.
Andi may be amnesiac. Forgot that he left me in PT XY's office on purpose. If he cared about me he should have picked me up and drove me home, not Bray. If the other day he had driven me home, maybe the story would have been different.
I remember Baba's message again, don't waste time wondering. Just think about the subject and solve it wisely. The problem is Andi wants to get the story straight from me. He doesn't understand my character who doesn't like to tell stories. He also did not understand the psychological burden of being a witness and the victim of two consecutive tragic events was very heavy. One day I'll tell him my reasons. Notnot now.
"You're gonna be long in Makassar?"
"Don't know. I still need to see a skin and beauty specialist. See the progress later."
Andi was silent for a moment. Maybe I was thinking that I really needed to go to Makassar to get better treatment. There are no cities that have complete health facilities in eastern Indonesia other than Makassar.
"Are you going to stay there and not take care of the foundation anymore?"
I can't answer.
"OKAY. Don't think too much. Hopefully things will improve quickly. Get well soon! Do not forget to eat a lot of fruits and vegetables to recover faster. I promise I'll follow the development of the poisoned archer's case."
"Thank you." I'm happy with Andi's last words. Hopefully the archer's identity that killed my baba and nurse will be revealed soon.
I spent more of my day in my room and dealing with my laptop. There are no birds singing in this house. Silent. In the city of Makassar, I have no new friends. Unlike Fifi who can quickly make a lot of new friends wherever she is. Today Fifi told me that she started tutoring at a renowned course center. Fifi insisted on entering a favorite school with test scores still slightly below standard. The school gave a dispensation because he moved from a small town in eastern Indonesia whose standard of education quality is still far from that favorite school. As a consequence they suggested that Fifi take tutoring to catch up.
My new friends are just people who work in taverns and plantations. All my friends are always related to work. I miss Aga who always entertains my running with his spoiled behavior and pleasant behavior. Just one day met the red-headed bent beak bird, already separated again by circumstances.
"Fifa same Firdaus just focus on marketing so that we can have enough funds for the sustainability of our program. Our family began to settle down in Lolobata. God willing, the care and breeding of birds is fine."
"Yes. Like Fifa needs a professional video editing course for the benefit of promo programs."
"Good, Fifa. Take a private course at home to make time more effective."
Farhana's doctor's idea was telling too. Instead of being confused about what to do, it is better to increase knowledge in the field that we like. I've started to love the hours in front of the laptop for editing. Starting from creating an organization profile to making video content updates I do myself. The initial reason was because it was cost-effective but I enjoyed the job for a long time. Just yeah. Bray said the results still look rough and less 'eye catching'.
"How are you doing with the doctor?"
"Yesterday he was a little moody not to talk. They may be adjusting to different places and environments. But today he's said hello to us."
"Thank God. Fifa kangen Aga."
"He's fine here. Oh yes, Fifa does not need to send money or new phone. Mas Firdaus has replaced my phone with a better one."
"Well, when it was just today Fifa just wanted a transfer. Sorry, doctor! Fifa response is slow. Fifa yesterday was like that."
"It's okay. Reasonable. You're facing a lot of problems. Her ex-boyfriend Firdaus is sadistic. It is fitting to be cut off. His behavior is very minus. Listen he's free and he's back in Jakarta."
Chirps. I'm waiting for Doctor Farhana's next sentence. What are his comments about the news.
"Human law can be bought. People are clearly guilty of being released."
So, I've been involved in that legal trade case?
In my heart I felt guilty and regretted yesterday's decision. Bray's right. Maudy should be held accountable for his actions in accordance with the law.
"Come, Fifa. Speaking of claws hurt me so remember that today BKSDA plans to leave an eagle on us. The eagle was wounded by a hunter's air rifle bullet. Later sent the video if the elangnya has come."
Hawks. I smiled remembering telling the baba about the bird known as the air-governing creature. The mighty bird had a gallant physique, sharp claws, and was able to fly fast. However, his flying ability was not directly obtained just like that. There is a learning process that must be passed. Generally, a young eagle practices flying at the age of 2-3 months. At the beginning of training is not easy. There are even hawks who are still afraid to come out of the nest. If the little eagle is afraid to come out of the nest, then the mother will try to lure her child to want to come out. An eagle is known as a formidable creature but its toughness is not obtained as easily as turning the palm of the hand. Everything is done through training and hard work.
At the age of 40, an eagle will be faced with two choices: waiting for death or going through a transformation process for 150 days. At that age his claws began to age and his sharp beak became long and bent until finally broken. Not only that, the eagle has difficulty flying because the fur grows thick and thick. He had to go through a difficult time in order to survive longer. When transforming, the eagle must try hard to fly with difficulty to the top of the mountain. There he will make a nest on the edge of the abyss and begin to undergo a process of transformation. The eagle that is actually already helpless it will pluck its own fur and break its claws and beak to get “second chance of life. That way, he can get his new feathers, claws, and beak. After going through the painful process, he was ready to live his life for another 30 years.
I must be eager to learn and patient to be great like an eagle. This is just a small obstacle. This is how God led me through this phase of transformation into a better Fifa. Everyone has their own life stage and life choices.
🦅I want to fly high like eagle🎵🎶 (this soundtrack🤭)
