Meaning of a Relationship

Episode 42 - The Great Dilemma

Reva's body gradually warmed, her face was not as pale as before. His lips began to look red.

" Nduk, tangi o. Wis suwe lek mu powder. Opo ora kels, whis areb magrib low Iki. Tangi maem sek nduk" Sukma's grandmother stroked Reva's sign full of affection.

Reva felt that warmth between in dreamland and real. In his sleep he heard a familiar voice, which he had heard.

" Lee, Grandma pray yo" Grandma Sukma went to leave Reva and Rian. It seems that Grandma Sukma is sensitive to the situation between the two young people.

" Ree, wake up. Are you going to continue like this. I have something to tell you, Ree!" Rian stroked Reva's hair, smirking Reva's warm hands.

Reva felt a warm gust getting closer to her face. He was trying to gather his consciousness.

Cup...

Reva was surprised, feeling a warm touch on her forehead. There were no tears Rian shed on Reva. Without Rian realizing Reva had opened her eyes. Rian kissed Reva's forehead long enough.

" Stop it" Reva's voice sounded trembling. Instantly Reva pushed Rian's body away from him.

" Reva" Rian turned his gaze away. Removing tears that had escaped.

" What did sister do? Don't touch me!" With a swift Reva covering his body, tightly clenched all the parts of the body that Reva was able to reach.

" Please don't touch me. Far away, away from me. Hiks..huhh..huhh..." Reva was crying hysterically.

" Ree, calm down. Ii'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you Ree" Rian was nervous. He is confused how.

Reva kept crying incessantly. He pulled a blanket to cover his body. Making the blanket his own protector.

" Onok opo Lee. Lhow, Reva wis tangi"

" Yes grandma. Please grandma calm Reva. Reva doesn't want me to go near her grandma"

" Iyo Lee" Sukma's grandmother approaches Reva. Stroking Reva's hair.

" Reva cah ayu. Cup, cup, cup... Kene-kene Karo Eyang princess. Wis, wis ora po-po. Ojo wedi yo" Grandma Sukma hugs Reva's body. Gives a sense of warmth and tranquility to Reva.

Reva poked her head against Grandma Sukma's warm chest. Slowly the sobs of Reva were no longer heard.

" Nek drank this medicine" Rian offered, medicine and a glass of water to Grandma Sukma.

" Dimimik sek yo nduk e medicine. Bene ndang healthy you e"

Grandma Sukma managed to calm Reva down. Give him medicine, feed Reva a bowl of porridge. Slowly Grandma Sukma helped Reva to lie down again. And let Reva rest.

" Thank you, grandma. Nek Reva can ask for something"

" Iyo ndhuk opo?"

" Can grandma sleep here, accompany me. I'm so scared grandma"

" Yes Reva. Grandma will accompany you to sleep here"

Rian looked at Reva with a sad feeling.

" Rian, go back to your room. Grandma's gonna take care of Reva. Looks like Reva isn't ready to meet any man yet"

" Good grandma" Rian came out with a gloomy face, looking anxiety on his face.

Reva stared at Rian's departure in sadness. It wasn't Rian who made it like this. But Rian's attitude had shocked Reva.

" Of course, sleep Reva. So that tomorrow morning you look fresher and healthier"

" Iy-iya grandma"

" You don't be afraid anymore. As long as you are in college. You'll stay with us. We'll take care of you Reva. Don't worry, consider it your own home. And just think of Eyang as your own grandmother"

Sukma's grandmother's speech has not been fully digested Reva well. Reva only nodded her head, as a sign that she understood the meaning of Grandmother Sukma.

Angan Reva came back this morning. Tears began to pour down Reva's cheeks.

" How can I meet Raditia with my condition like this. Do I still deserve you?." muttered Reva inwardly, with tears constantly drenching her cheeks.

" Oh my God, Reva where's. The house looks empty. Called also hpnya not active" Tria pacing back and forth in front of the house that looks pitch dark.

" Oh, yeah. I'll try to call Niken!" Tria looks for Niken's number and starts contacting him.

drett....

" Deck, hpmu that sound"

" Oh, yes, brother. Em.sir Tria. What's up, huh?"

" Just lift the deck. Pack the loudspeakers yes"

"Good brother"

" Hello Niken" came a voice from the sebrang looking agitated.

" What's wrong?"

" Is Reva there?"

" Sister Reva? but Reva's sister isn't here, brother"

" Oh my God. Where the boy is going. He has not yet returned home. His phone is also inactive. He said he wanted to go to Raditia's hospital."

" Oh my God. But from this morning until now Reva has not been to the hospital sis"

" Oh, where did the kid go. How is this Niken. I'm afraid something happened to Reva"

" Sister, sister Tria calm down first huh. Let's ask your sister to the older sister's friends first"

" But Reva today wasn't to Niken's college. Reva is deliberately absent, wants to meet with Raditia"

" Oh my God, go where's sister Reva"

" Oh, yeah. Rian said he wanted to go to Reva's place. Let me call Rian first, brother. Who knows Rian knows where Reva's sister is now"

" Yes already Niken. Try calling Rian first"

Niken closed his call. Niken pressed Rian's name on his phone screen. On the first ring Rian immediately raised Niken's call.

" Hello brother Rian. Did you go to Reva's sister's house"

" Yes Niken, brother so there. Why why?"

" Did you meet Reva's sister?. Says sister Tria, sister Reva until now has not come home. His phone was also not active"

" Oh my God. Yes Niken. Sorry, I forgot to forget about you. Something happened to Reva. And now Reva's at grandma's"

" Thankfully. But what really happened to Reva, brother?"

" I'm going to the hospital tomorrow. Just pick you up, I'll tell you a story. Oh yeah, tell Tria. Reva's fine, and in 20 minutes I'll pick her up at the boarding house"

" Good brother. Brother be careful on the road huh"

Rian rushed to pick up Tria. The time has shown at 20:05 WIB. Rian has to gas.

" How about Reva deck?. Does Rian know where Reva is"

" Kak Reva is at my grandmother's house. Brother Rian said something happened to Reva. So Rian's sister brought Reva home to Grandma's house"

" I hope nothing bad happens to you Ree. I still hope we can reunite with Reva"

" That's it. Brother break yes. I can go home tomorrow. Prepare yourself to meet with sister Reva again. My brother's spirit dear"

Niken returned to kesofa near Raditia's bed. He contacted Tria, relaying a message from Rian.

A little while later Rian arrived at the kos an Tria. Rian rushes down and tells Tria to get into the car. At first Tria seems confused, but she follows what Rian tells her.

" How is Reva doing, brother?. What exactly happened to Reva, brother?"

" Reva condition good Tria. But..."

" But what's brother?"

" Because of Tara. Reva's psychological condition is concerning"

" What does Rian mean?. Reva's been fine all along, brother"

" Tara almost harassed Reva, Tria" Rian hit the steering wheel furiously. Anger was on his face.

Tria closed her mouth in surprise. His eyes look teary.

" What? What did you say." Tria's voice seemed to tremble, holding back the cry.

" That's the truth, Tria. Fuck Tara. I won't forgive him"

" Oh my God. I didn't expect Tara to be like that. All I know is, as long as it's close to Reva his attitude is good. Although at first it was disrespectful. Turns out he's still the same, you son of a bitch. Play boy rancid" Tangis Tria broke.

" For now, you live in Grandma's house first. Until things really improve"

" What, is it okay, brother? Later even ngerepotin brother"

" It's okay, Tria. All for Reva. Grandma's happy you're staying at her house, too. Grandma's house is crowded"

" Alright, if that's what you want, brother. And if all this is for the good of Reva I'll just follow you brother. I'll always be with Reva. Wherever Reva goes I'll accompany her"

" Thank you, Tria. At home of grandma. Although a bit chatty but grandma is good"

" Thank God Ree. You know people as well as Rian. Looks like Rian's brother still has his feelings for you Ree"

Rian's car drove down the city streets. It took them less than 20 minutes to reach their destination. When we get in front of the house. Rian parked his car. Tria had fallen asleep. Maybe because of the exhaustion. Tria sleeps while on the road.

" Tria is awake. We've arrived"

" Oh, sorry, brother. I overslept"

" It's okay. Comein. Continue your sleep inside"

Tria got off the car. Seeing the house in front of him his mouth seemed to be open. It turned out that Rian's family was really blue-blooded.

" Let's go in, your bed is across from Reva's room"

Rian showed the room that Reva occupied. Tria stepped closer to Reva's room. As he opened the door, Rian prevented him.

" Not now. Tomorrow morning only. Poor Reva, she might just sleep asleep"

" But I'm very worried about him. And I want to meet Reva, brother. But I'll wait for you in the morning" Tria's tone sounded sad.

" I'm gonna take a break. You also rest"

Rian leaves Tria, Rian climbs the stairs of the upper floor. Rian slammed his body on the super big bed.

" Ree, this is our first meeting. But why did that happen to you. May you improve soon. And you're back to cheer again Ree"

Rian's only about Reva. Meeting Reva again was a pleasure for him.
