“Lin, how? They're going on a picnic?” rara asked as we prepared.

“Entar yes, I tried to connect again.”

I tried to contact Iqbal but he didn't answer. I tried it again but it stayed the same, no answer.

“No answer, Ra, maybe they didn't leave. Bang Rehan where else!” I told Rara. Rara just kept quiet and said nothing. But his eyes were focused on his cellphone.

“Ra, woy,” my word immediately resuscitated him.

“Hah?” he said he looked at me but was unconscious.

“Yeah, Lo what the hell!”

“Iya sorry!”

“Where dong, they don't go. I want to go with Diego, I've arranged everything! Yes just turn it back,” my chatter at length.

“Iqbal-,” said Rara truncated looking at me.

“Iqbal why?” i said refute.

“Iqbal was phone, he said—,”

“Say what? The obvious dong!” I said I was upset with Rara.

“Sister Diego was in an accident,” obviously Rara was powerless to hold back her tears.

“Canda deh Lo, not funny to know. I've done everything!” I told Rara, but Rara just shook her head.

“We went there yes Lin, now!” I followed Rara with tears in my eyes, I couldn't believe everything I had just heard. But I have to go, I have to make sure of it myself.

I wish they'd just prank me, but there I see Om and Auntie, and Iqbal. I saw that Iqbal's body was covered with blood.

“Bal, this is not true, right?” you all lied to me? You guys want to do me, right? But enough, I'm afraid! Brother Diego where?” my tears filled the room. Bang Rehan hugged me and Iqbal just kept quiet. While his mother was no longer able to hold back her cries.

“He will be fine, he is now in the operating room!” Iqbal.

“Why Bal? Why don't you take care of him for me! I trust Lo.”

“Udah Deck, everything has happened!”

“Why, Bang? Why does this have to happen to Diego, what do I do? I love him.”

“Yes, I know, but you can't be like gini.”

“Diego had an accident when he wanted to see you, Lin!” said Iqbal looking at me.

“He wants to meet me!” I said make sure again what I just heard. Iqbal nodded at my question.

The entire room instantly turned into filled with panic and worry with something that was about to happen next. While Aunt Rani, Mother of Sister Diego now appears limp and sits on the floor waiting for the doctor to come out of the operating room.

I see Om Dirman is no less panicked than everyone here.

After waiting for a few hours, the doctor came out of the operating room and approached us all.

“Who is the guardian here? Can we talk?!” the doctor said a moment later.

“I Doc, I am his mother!” aunty Rani replied then walked slightly away.

“Begin Buk, because the impact on his head is quite hard, and the patient is bleeding quite severely, we can only hope to God for his recovery. Operation was successful but did not guarantee his awareness of one hundred percent.”

“So Doctor meant! My son will not survive!”

“We are just carrying out our duties, Buk! Next God determines, Patient Mother.”

I wish all this was just a nightmare, I want to wake up from this dream. But I don't think I can, Rara hugs me crying and it shows that this is all real, it's not a dream. But it really happened.

God, I don't want Diego to leave, it's enough that yesterday's farewell separated us, no more death took away this love, don't take my love God, no, please.

Aunt Rani instantly fainted helplessly seeing her son lying unconscious with a breathing apparatus attached to his body. So did I, I was so devastated by all this.

I think we'll be fine after this. Why would God find us again if he would finally take it back, you wouldn't even let me be with him for a moment.

I haven't apologized to her, I'm mad at her, I refuse to talk to her. But he's not mad at me, I have to say I'm wrong. He must hear me regret God. I went in to meet him in the room where he is being treated now.

“Kak, don't you want to wake up? You don't want to talk to me?”

“Lin, we go home first yuk! We'll be back later, believing Diego will be all right!”

“Gak Bang, I don't want to, I want to be here waiting for him to wake up!”

“Lin, we go home first yuk, you have to rest!” said Rara who is now approaching me, because we have been here all day.

“So Ra, I don't want to, I want to wait for him to wake up, tell him. I'm here, Ra, he's not horrifying me!”

***                                                        

Every day all I do is wait for a miracle, I always go to the hospital to accompany him, tell him about everything I feel, or even help him compress his body which now he cannot do alone.

I never imagined this would happen before, I just kept thinking happy things since we met, but stupidly, I didn't recognize you when you came for the second time.

I'm so bad, aren't I? But now can you get up and let me fix it all, I won't be angry anymore, I won't refuse you to talk again, I won't leave you when I'm upset. So, can you hear me this once?

I beg you, I know I may not be good, can you teach me until I am good? So please, wake up now.

Why is it so comfortable lying there, don't you want to see me? Is that where you're dreaming, so you don't want to see me? But please, don't torture me like this. Please get up, you can scold me later, you can also curse, you can complain about my bad attitude. I'll hear you!

Don't be like this, I don't like to see you lying around without saying anything. Don't you want to do all the wonderful things with me? You really don't want to take a walk with me?!

We can do everything, we can enjoy the twilight in the afternoon, we can walk while holding hands, we can pose with a couple, we will do all the things that lovers do! So please wake up.

Enough of this, I don't want to see you lying here any longer. You don't feel so cut out of me? Don't you want to tell me something, get up and tell me what it is? I'll listen to you now.

Sorry for all my stubbornness, I will change my attitude, I will get better. I'll love you for the rest of my age, so don't you understand? Is my request so heavy? I just want you to open your eyes and tell me you're okay, like that time.

Why do you like it so much here? Can't you hear me? You're evil, if you don't wake up now! I'm tired of waiting for you, I'm here every day, but you don't even want to see me, you don't want to open your eyes.

Was my mistake so angry with you? You'll make me die if you don't forgive me! You know, you're not handsome with a face like this.

Can't you wake up once more like that time! can't you say you're okay, or complain if you feel pain.

Why do you just shut up, why not say anything. Why do you make me feel like this?

Only you can tell me how you feel, every time I ask why you don't wake up, they don't answer. They just patted me on the shoulder and cried. Wh why? Are you gonna leave me like this?

Why see me if you want to leave me? Don't you feel so sorry for me, my heart hurts every time I see you like this. Where's smile? where's your cold attitude?

Show me now. My response, don't just shut up, don't make me sick.

I even forgot myself, and want to live only for you! But you ignore me, aren't you so bad! You're so mean. You don't care about me calling you every day. At least hear me.

“Lin, can we talk outside?” said Aunt Rani approaching me.

I agreed and we headed to a cafe near the hospital.

“Tante want to talk what?” ask when I get there.

“You've accompanied Diego every day, but stop now!”

“What aunt means? Why should I stop?”

“You know for yourself, it's been three weeks, but Diego hasn't been sober, you know! We have no hope!”

“It's only been three weeks, but Auntie has given up! Isn't Aunt her Mother?”

“Because I'm his mother, that's why I'm like this, Diego will also definitely ask you to stop!”

“Tante don't believe he'll wake up?”

“Three weeks is not a short time, it is quite a long time.”

“I will be waiting for him! Until he wakes up, and he sees me!”

“Stop, don't be like this! Forget him, and live a better life!”

“That's ridiculous, Auntie asked me to stop.”

“Don't torture yourself, Diego also definitely won't like, we love him.”

“She hasn't died Auntie, we still have hope.”

“Even the Doctor doesn't know why he didn't wake up, they say we don't have enough hope, don't you understand?”

“Tante who does not understand, we just need to wait for a miracle!”

“Stop the crap! We booked a place for his funeral!” he said he left me alone.

I can't believe what I just heard, how could a mother prepare a burial place for her son who has clearly not been pronounced dead by the Doctor, we just have to wait a little longer. But he's done it, I know exactly, it's also hard for him, but still, it's wrong.

He can't do it. What if Diego woke up and he found out, it would break his heart.

A Mother he tried to protect, but now he can't believe that his son will come back. What am I supposed to do? It's all not right, I still have to wait for him, I'm sure they're wrong. He'll wake up in a minute. He must've woken up, I wouldn't let anyone hurt or take him away from me.

“Bang, we have to move Brother Diego to a bigger hospital, there the treatment is faster the result, we have to move him, Bang!”

“Dek, he is now in the best hospital care, yes, although it has not shown any results, we have to wait.”

“So, Bang, we have to move him, Brother knows, his mother even ordered a burial place for Diego.”

“No, Dek, Diego is not dead, believe he will be all right.”

“Bakal alright? Just when should we wait, I won't wait any longer, I'm afraid, Bang!”

“Aware, Lin, you don't believe me, don't make things more complicated, well!” bang Rehan hugged me.

“Iya, Lin, all this is heavy for us, you should be able to be stronger again,” added Rara later.

For some reason, after meeting with Aunt Rani my heart became even more riled up than before, although they convinced me in various ways, but my heart remained unsettled, what if what Aunt Rani said was true?

What if Diego never woke up again? What I have to do, I don't want to lose any more, just yesterday was my fault, I don't want to if he leaves here.

God, how should I? Please wake him up God, I don't want anything else, I just want to be with him, please! Don't take him, don't take him for this time. Let me be with him, if we can't be together, I'm fine. But don't take him now.

\*\*\*

Back at this hospital, I looked at that shady face, but it looked very pale, it seemed like he was in real pain.

He couldn't even complain, he endured his own pain. Then how are you gonna take it from me? I'm not ready, if I don't have to see her again.

If he recovers it's okay he goes back abroad, or even lives there. It's okay if he meets someone else, I won't be sad. But for sure, I can still hear his name called, or even call him in my solitude, but don't take his life.

“So, when do you want to wake up? Didn't Brother Diego miss me? Brother who bought me the gift of the book, I can't teach myself, Brother Diego must teach me! Wake up Kak, I have to cry like how else, let Brother want to wake up!”

“Maybe he's still angry with Om, because Om yesterday was angry with him!” his father said, who is now beside me.

“Gak Om, Brother Diego is not like that.”

“Still well, Lin, already want to accompany him!”

“Om don't tell me like that, Evlyn believes Diego's brother will wake up.”

“You are right, we just have to pray.” he smiled then stepped out leaving us.

“Dad Brother just came, he believes Big Brother will wake up, so, quickly get up from here.” I held her hand, I hoped she would be able to hear it and soon came to a realization.

“I'm going to college soon, help me yah!” I obviously still look at him.

I then hurried away from there, and went home. Arriving at home, there I saw Iqbal standing in front of the gate of the house. I walked closer to him too.

“Someone wants me to talk to you!” concluded.

“What?” sahutku brief.

“It's about Diego,” he said again.

“Before he had an accident, actually he was trying to protect me!”

“What do you mean?”

“At that time, we were about to head to your house. We didn't leave in one car, I rode my bike and left first, while he caught up. But in the middle of the journey a car was about to harm me, Diego tried to prevent it but the accident even hit him.”

“What, he left when he was going to see me because of that invitation, why are you just saying now! It's all my fault, I'm the cause of Diego's accident. If only I hadn't planned that, this wouldn't have happened!”

“Sir Lin, it's not your fault! Everything has happened! But there's a weird Lin, from the accident.”

“There is a block, you mean someone could have planned this all?”

“More or less like that, and according to the results of the investigation, this is the same act of the perpetrator as the previous incident. And what I can't believe, they suspect the culprit is the closest person!”

“Nearly people, who? Your Mother in pen—” said I was cut off and soon realized.

“Father, you are right, Mother imprisoned! I'm confused too, Lin. But please keep this a secret first. I have to find out for myself.”

“Iya, hopefully the culprit is quickly caught.”

“Yaudah, I'm leaving first. You go in there!” he said then passed.

It all makes me so dizzy, not finished with one problem, now that the problem has just come.

What Iqbal might have said just now is true! Who was that person, and moreover he was the same perpetrator that time.

What surprised me the most was that the culprit was the closest person to the victim. Brother Diego is close to a lot of people! besides Bang Rehan, there is Kak Ardi, Andi, but there is no way they are.

Hopefully Iqbal and the police can catch the culprit quickly, he must be sentenced to severe, because his actions Kak Diego until now has not been aware.

Even if he needs to go to prison for life, it's an attempted murder.

“Ngapain sih Lin, nagging yourself!” rara said suddenly.

“Lo already know about his accident Kak Diego, and the culprit!?” I asked Rara and Bang Rehan.

“Iya already, hand over everything to the police!” sahut Bang Rehan.

“Truly, besides we can not say anything!”

“Gak, I have to come find out! the culprit may now be happy again, he does not know what I am rasain and I lewatin, he should be punished.”

“Clearly, should. Criminals cannot be allowed to be released,” said Rara again.

“Udah, Deck! Just hand over everything to the police, you can get hurt again.” said Bang Rehan.

“Great attention is equally adeknya, jealous me!”

“Udah uh, nih eat fruit, you two.”

“Ok,” lever Rara. I just kept quiet and didn't answer. He walked into the room without saying anything.

“Maen go aja,” said Rara who I can still hear.

“Udah binary aja.”

I should be able to find out about all this, I don't want the culprit to get away with it. He has to bear all the consequences of his actions. I wonder why anyone would want to do dirty work for money.

But he can do something better. Anything, what matters is not harm.

But that's how life is, not everyone is a good person. Sometimes even the person you consider to be good can still betray your full trust. But still, I'm the cause of all this, I asked them to come home.

I shouldn't have done it, the worst was me. I have to take responsibility for all this, I have to be able to figure it all out myself, otherwise, then I will never be able to forgive myself. I have to do it right now.

I stepped down back down, and still met Rara and Bang Rehan there. They looked at me in wonder, because I had just reached home and now I was leaving again. I was determined to catch the main perpetrator and his accomplices.

Actually I myself also do not know where to start this all from, should I go to friends Diego Kak one by one and question him. But I didn't even know where the address was, and I only met them once when they were visiting the hospital.

I should have asked Bang Rehan first, if yes, then now I need not seem confused like that. Stupidly, I don't even know these detailed things.

I have to go home and ask. But Rara will laugh at him. Ah, but who cares. It's a crucial moment.

Anyone would not care about the opinions of others, as long as it was a matter of truth. If I don't do it now, then it's likely that the perpetrator will be able to escape. But what if I just asked Iqbal, I think he knew all of Diego's friends even though they weren't close.

I opened my henfon and looked for contacts by name, “Iqbal” and will be ready to shift it. However, I haven't had time to touch the green screen, my phone vibrated the sign coming in, and it was from Iqbal. He invited me to meet at his usual place.

Is it possible that Iqbal found the culprit? And will tell me soon when we meet. I immediately rushed off to the roadside park we used to go to.

Iqbal was there first compared to me. He came up to me and now he seems so tense. What does he want to say? Why so different than usual?

He may not be able to find the culprit, as he managed to escape abroad before the police managed to catch him. Ah, I like to guess because Iqbal hasn't opened the conversation since. I wish he had said it straight away.

“Gue asked Lo here to make—” he said truncated.

“Make what, Bal, by the way!” I said curious.

“Bang Rehan hasn't told me?”

“What story? What is clear Bal, habits deh!”

“Bang Rehan same Rara plans to get married, so, I want to ask the gift for the newlyweds what? because Lo chick, so maybe you know,” chirped at length while I was astonished, that's what makes her look tense. It was something that seemed ordinary.

“Lo ask to see you, just make this?” askaku.

“U’um, let's say what?” said relaxed.

“Gue wants to go back,” firmly I go directly.

I think he's asking to meet for some important business. I came here in a hurry to think my guess was right. But far from expectations, he just pisses me off.

Wait a minute Bang Rehan and Rara are planning to get married, why rush? They didn't say anything when I was home either. Or maybe when they were about to tell me, I had already rushed off and had no time.

Why don't they wait for Diego to plan everything, because they can't wait? It's been a month from now, Brother Diego hasn't been conscious of his coma. I see, maybe they won't wait long, because that doesn't tell me. But I'm his sister he should have talked to me first.

I was in the guest room with Bang Rehan. He seemed quieter than usual. I exhaled heavily to start the conversation, and hoped that he would speak to me himself.

“Bang, anyone want you to talk to me?” tanyaku relax.

“About what?” he asked back.

“What aja! I know you already!”

“Know what the hell, Dek!”

“Lo want to marry Rara!”

“New plan, so I'm not talking about, still waiting for Diego first.”

“Lo make me misunderstand.”

“Emang likes it anyway,” his teasing laughs at me.

“Abang,” my lazy scream.

“Iya joking, bauble.”

“Lin, I'm sorry yah!” suddenly revealed.

“Sorry for what?”

“Can't be a good Brother for Lo!”

“Aaan hell Bang, mellow!” my laughter mocked him.

“Iye, never really!”
