Section 22
“How? Have you heard about the existence of Arsy?” catty asked some of her trusted friends who she asked for help to find her best friend.
“Not yet. But we had information from the airport about Arsy. But...”
“But what? What did they say? They found Arsy?” catty asked when she saw the change in the faces of the two young men in front of her.
“Discovered body with charred body burned. From the identity found in the bag of the man named Aileen Arsyana, there are several items such as cell phones, business cards and laptops and several other important items. On the neck of the body there is a diamond necklace that is quite expensive, with pendants in the form of letters A and C. That's the news we received from the airport a few minutes ago,” said Aideen who made Catty drop the phone he was holding. The girl fell to her feet with tears falling down her cheeks.
“Not possible! Arsy won't leave me!”
“Catt! Lu why?”
Devan who had just come out of the kitchen immediately ran towards Catty when he saw the girl screaming while crying loudly calling her best friend's name.
“They lied to me, Dev. They said they found Arsy's body,” Catty said amid tears that flowed more and more. “They must be lying, Dev? It definitely isn't Arsy.”
“Sorry Catt, but from clothes and others similar to Arsy. Even he also wears the same ring you wear,” said Aideen.
“No! You lied!”
“Catt, already. Relax yourself,” pinta Devan while continuing to embrace the beautiful body that he already considers as a brother.
“Ngak, Dev. Arsy must have found us like you said yesterday.” Catty continued to rebel. The girl thrashed while continuing to call the name “Arsy” whose whereabouts are currently unknown.
“Arsy must be home and I'm sure about it,” said Axelle who had just come along with Margaret and some of Arsy's friends.
They immediately came to Catty and Arsy's house when they heard that the airport had found one of the victims who was suspected to be Arsy.
Margaret immediately hugged Catty who was crying in Devan's arms. The two did not expect that Arsy would leave first leaving them in such a painful manner.
“Ma, Arsy must be home right?” ask Catty who was still crying in Margaret's arms.
“Mama knows this is hard for you, but it's all fate. We have to be able to let go of Arsy, so that he is calm there.”
“But Ma...”.
Margaret motioned for Axelle to shut up. The woman knows well despite looking tough but Axelle and Catty are the two most devastated people today, Margaret also knows that Axelle secretly told people to look for the whereabouts of Arsy. The words the young man spoke were actually to convince himself that Arsy was fine and would soon regroup with them.
Margaret intended to bring the crying Catty into the room along with Devan and Axelle, leaving the guests with Margaret's subordinates. Before that, the woman first asked the help of her subordinates to take care of everything including the matter of picking up the body of Arsy who was still at the airport.
“Ngapain the heck you cry? Arsy will be back in a moment,” said Axelle while staring at the blue sky that looks cloudy in the midst of drought struck.
“LU CAN NOT BE DIEM! MAN DOES NOT HAVE A HEART KEK ELU, WILL NOT BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND THE FEELINGS OF HIM WHO LOST HIS LOVED ONES. LU TU ONLY...” Devan was silent as he looked at his best friend's teary eyes. “Xelle, lu...”
“Gue press once again if Arsy is not dead, he just has not been found.” Axelle walked out leaving Catty's room feeling suffocating. The young man walked towards the back garden of Arsy's house, inwardly he kept convincing himself that Arsy would be fine. However, when he saw the photo of the body sent by the airport, somehow his belief overflowed. He wanted to believe that Arsy was still alive, but the ring around the girl's ring finger was exactly the same as the ring he was wearing.
“Lu will be back, right? Help me prove that my faith is not wrong.” Axelle wiped away her tears that flowed without her asking.
“Xelle, you cry?” devan asked when he saw his best friend's cheeks wet.
“Ngak. Mending you take care of your girlfriend,” ketus Axelle while walking away. But his hand first caught Axelle's hand.
“Gue apologized about that. I don't mean to talk rudely to you,” regrets Devan. Actually, the young man did not mean to say rude to Axelle, but the young man's mind was completely chaotic so he accidentally threw a sentence that should not be on Axelle.
“Gue. I just want to be alone again, if no one wants you to takein again, you can go back into.”
“Arsy's body will be back by the way and the show will start immediately. You don't want to go in for do’ Arsy?” ask Devan.
Devan nodded in understanding. The young man chose to leave Axelle alone in the back garden. The young man understood that his best friend was not currently doing well as he seemed.
***
The tribute began a few minutes ago. All of Arsy and Catty's coworkers come to pay their last respects to the beautiful girl who is known to be good-natured, even Axelle's friends also come.
The atmosphere of grief was so felt in Catty's house. The girl's eyes looked swollen from shedding too many tears. Every second he always calls the name of Arsy which makes the atmosphere of grief so felt.
Axelle was standing by the door. The young man followed the series of events but did not want to get closer to the blackened corpse.
The two girls' workmates came back and forth. There are some who stay and follow the event until it is finished, there are also those who immediately leave on the grounds of work that cannot be delayed.
A beautiful girl got out of the car in casual clothes.
“Why is the race so great?” ask the long-haired girl who is still wearing her work clothes. “Gue wrong home time yes?” add the girl.
The girl ventured into the house, meeting a girl of her age who stood not far from the entrance of the mansion which was currently full of grieving humans.
“Excuse me, if I may know what this is? Rame bener?” ask the girl while looking around.
“Beautiful girl in this house died on her way to LA. His entire body has been burned to the point of being unrecognizable,” is clearly a girl named Bella.
“Ouh, so. Whose maiden name left?”
“The name is Aileen Arsyana. Look at her picture there, she's so beautiful right?” reply Bella.
“You're right she's so beautiful. But why do I feel like I'm no stranger to that face? Then thank you, and I'm sorry to go home.”
The girl walked back to the car she was wearing.
“Lu why go back, stupid?” tanya Aksara who was preparing to get out of the car.
“Dalem again grieving. Beautiful girl who died in a plane crash he said fitting a trip to LA,” is obviously the beautiful girl but only reciprocated nod by Aksara. “But, Sa. I feel something strange deh,” said the girl who made Aksara stop her steps.
“White why?” tanya Aksara without taking her eyes off her mobile screen.
“When I heard the same name right I saw the photo of the deceased, I felt no stranger to the same people. I think I've met but forgot where?”
“Emang whose name is? How are his facial features?” tanya Aksara who is still focusing on her cellphone which is featuring a mouse and cat chasing each other.
“His face is bullet but not really bullet, beautiful, long hair but in the photo was her hair in a ponytail. His eyes were sharp as if he could intimidate anyone who dared to play with him. When it comes to names, I don't care. But if it's not wrong, the guy said his name was Aileen Arsyana. Kasian really knows Sa, where is still young again, the death is very sad.”
The character turned off the series of films he watched. The young man walks into the camera app and tells his co-worker, “this isn't the guy?”
“Well yes. But how do you know it's him?”
“That's your face, Arsy. Aileen Arsyana your long name, motherfucker!”
“Lah Yes my name. Means that displayed there was a photo of me dong?”
“Mbukhlah, Sy. Puyeng I your thing doang.” Aksara chose to cover both ears using white earphones with the door logo as a decoration.
“And I'm still alive? Why an honorary event? Wow, this crazy people.”
