I Feel His Presence.



I looked at Om Danu in disbelief, almost the entire wall was painted on my portrait even in the form of a sketch. I admit Bayu is quite flexible in drawing even very beautiful without gaps.


"I...this is all Bayu that picture Om?" I still can't believe it.


"Iya Tha, this special room Bayu made into a gallery for all the images." Reply Om Danu also saw all the pictures of his son.


"Very beautiful," I said.


Without feeling my tears dripping back, all the pictures that Bayu made when we were together. On the way to the square and I was holding a flower. When we ride bikes together, when we go to the bookstore. Almost all the pictures about me and Bayu.


My footsteps skimmed through each picture, staring one at a time at each moment in the picture. Until my eyes squinted at the corner of each picture, there are initials named F and B.


Suddenly I covered my mouth with one hand holding back my crying that returned to me. I know it's my initials and Bayu, I know it. Is that how much he loves me? while I haven't had time to tell her all my heart.


With the trembling of my hand touching the initials of that name, my heart warmed as my fingers touched it. As if all the tightness melted away just like that, changing the sense of happiness and also haru simultaneously.


'Thank you bang, I like it. I like it, 'my mind.


Back I went around around every side of the room looking back at the many images Bayu had created. It was so beautiful and impressive, as if my memory power had returned back in those days.


In the corner of the room I saw there was a table, if my guess was not wrong, it was the table where Bayu sketched the picture. Many piles of sketchbooks even various types of pencils are available there.


I approached, but before that I stared at the door where Om Danu had already left me alone in the room. Maybe Om Danu knows if I need time alone to remember all about Bayu.


I pulled out the chair on the table, and sat on it. I can feel the warmth of the chair, I can still feel the warmth of Bayu's presence by my side even though I can't see it.


"I'm coming bang," I said.


I was stunned when I felt the top of my head feel cold but my heart warmed, as if I knew that Bayu was caressing the top of my head.


"I miss you bang, and I love you so much." My whisper is smirking.


Again I feel cold on my cheeks, it seems like Bayu's fingers turned to caress my cheeks. Only a cold gust in my ears felt, but I knew that he was whispering the word love to me.


I closed my eyes as the cold wrapped around my body. In my lips I smiled, I knew Bayu was hugging me.


Although invisible, but I can feel his presence at my side. I can feel that, though,


Slowly the cold came out and disappeared. I opened my eyes when I no longer felt the coolness in my body.


I went around the room, trying to find a coolness that I no longer felt. In my mind I thought is it just my hallucination?


In the murmur I called Bayu's name without a sound, only my lips moved to call his name. But I did not find his whereabouts, though,


"Abang's gone?" I then sat on the floor.

On the other side...


Toni was squeezing her hair in frustration, she was confused out of nowhere to start telling stories. But he had to convey Bayu's last message to his best friend Fytha. Only, he was afraid if later Fytha was angry with him because it had been hiding the truth about Bayu's state.


Yes, Toni knows about the disease in Bayu. At that time Toni was taking the results of check-ups from her grandmother to the hospital where Bayu was treated as well.


The flashback


As he passed through a hallway, he heard a familiar voice in his ears. Even the voice felt familiar to him.


"It's like the frog prince's voice." Toni Mumbled.


Not wanting to guess, Toni approached the room to her right and peeked out of the window.


The deg!!


"What's the kid out of trouble? The walls? Ampe in a bundle of bandages so his head." Said Toni slowly and then opened the door of Bayu's room without knocking on her door.


Chequek!!


Bayu who was struggling with his father then turned to the door and found the friend of the person he was missing at this time.


"Toni?" Bayu.


"Hehehe, peace yes bro. Forgetting the door first." Said Toni with a grin.


"You're Bayu's friend, my son?" Ask Papa Bayu.


"Yes Om, we're the best plendd." Answer Toni.


"I'm Danu, Papa Bayu. Son Toni can oms Bayu for a moment? I'm going to see a doctor." Pinta Danu on Toni.


"Can Om,"


"Papa go to the doctor's room first, you're the same friend you used to be." Danu said towards Bayu.


"Thank you son of Toni." Say Bayu as he passes Toni.


"Together Om."


Then Toni approached Bayu, after making sure Om Danu was out of the door. Toni sat her body in the chair next to Bayu's bed.


"Loe why bro? The head is like a mummy." Ask Toni.


"Gue...


"Don't tell me you were in an accident? I don't think that's possible." Sela Toni's.


Bayu sighed, staring at Toni. "Loe can keep a secret, right?" Ask Bayu. "Especially from Fytha?" Further.


Toni squinted her eyes suspiciously, in her heart wondering what the matter really was. "Why should I hide from Fytha? Loe cheated? Do girls have guys too? Keep getting caught in the same thud as the girl's boyfriend." Accuse Toni who was answered by Bayu's head.


"Continue?"


"Gue's sick, Ton. I´m... A brain tumor."


"Huh?" Toni opened her mouth wide in disbelief at what she had just heard.


"Can't you?" Beo Toni is still in shock.


"Gue also just found out earlier, last night I just had surgery to remove the tumor." Sayu explained.


"Keep the operation smoothly? If the Fytha knew it would be a real shock for her."


"Please loe don't tell Fytha, I don't want her to be thinking. And thank God my operation is smooth, just recovery is just the same Ton must routinely check up fear there are other tumors that grow." said Bayu.


"Thank God, I hope you're completely cured and no other tumor is growing. Okay I'll keep my promise to not tell the Fytha about loe. I also pity that liyat child, gallon granduk because of his loe no news that." Toni.


"Thanks Ton, but is Fytha upset because I have no news? it means he likes me too." Sayu full of happy smiles.


"It's okay, relax." Answer Toni. "Yes he likes ama loe, if not yes will be in cuekin loe from the beginning the same child." continued Toni sewot. I know it's still a lot!, thought Toni.


Finally, the two of them dissolved in chatter discussing the turmoil of Fytha as well as some activities in the school that was taking place.
