The End of a Story

 I woke up from my sleep and suddenly found myself lying in the hospital. With Mom and Dad next to me, I saw Iqbal was here too, they said I just woke up after two months I was lying unconscious.

Mom hugged me and thanked me for waking up, saying she had lost hope of my consciousness, but Evlyn made her sure of my recovery. Mother told me that Evlyn always took the time to come here every day.

I briefly thought back to that day, the day I had an accident. At that time I was about to leave for Evlyn's house, to deliver Iqbal's goods that were left behind, because he left first and so hurriedly.

Maybe he did it on purpose, because I refused to go on a picnic with them, so he left his stuff there and probably did it so I could go with them.

I drove my car at high speed, until finally I was able to chase the motor driven by Iqbal. But I saw a car from the opposite direction about to crash into Iqbal.

I tried to prevent that from happening, but to me, that person's strength was no match for mine. He looks like a trained man.

I saw him and it looks like I've seen him before, it looks like he's the same guy who hit me in the park, is he my friend?

I closed my eyes and heard a loud bang and then after that I remembered nothing. Because today I just woke up, Mom and Dad asked me to rest and leave my room. I can't believe I've been here for so long.

I saw Iqbal still standing here and there seemed to be something he wanted to convey, this time I saw him look different, he just looked at me without saying anything. What does he want to say? Does it have anything to do with the accident?

“I'm sorry, it made you like this!”

“It's okay, I'm fine!”

“Alright after two new months realized?!” said towards me. Well, he looks brave.

“Stay, I'm fine now!” now he sits on the chair beside where I lie. Right next to where I am sitting right now.

“Many things happened, while you were here!”

“Really? I can guess, the culprit has already received his sentence now!” I looked at him with a serious face.

“No, my mother is the brain behind all this, she hired someone else to hurt you,” she explained, while I just kept quiet hearing her expression.

“Mother even falsified the news! You want to know who did it?”

“Rehan, Right? I already knew it!” I said looking at him now.

“You already know, who told you, whether Evl—,” he said cut and then fell silent again.

“I saw it then, also while in the Garden!”

“You know it, but didn't say anything?” ask again.

“I asked them to leave here, and don't see me, after all this case is closed!”

“You did it, you asked him to leave here?” now he asked in a different tone.

“Wah, it's the first day I've come to my senses after such a long time, and you've attacked me with so many questions.

***                                                             

Is what I'm doing all this right? Or did I just make a mistake! What am I supposed to do now, is Evlyn going to leave here, has Evlyn agreed to this? Sorry, if I get you stuck in a lot of trouble. All this because of me.

“Bal, hey?” now, I looked around and realized I was already heading to his house. Oh, my God, I don't even know where I'm going now.

“Hustom deh, mute dream, why come here?” ask again.

“Sorry me yes!”

“Sorry to make? I just thank you, Brother Rey does not need to surrender to the police again, we will leave here,” he explained long.

“How about Rara?” my many.

“Their wedding was off, we had her fiance yesterday!” said laugh.

“Where are you going?”

“There is a place only filled with happiness, there you will not get hurt!” slowly say.

“Can I come?” I asked, but he laughed back, does he think my words are a joke? Now that he was leaving, he thanked her for everything and all this time.

I just kept quiet to see it disappear in the distance. I feel empty now! I felt alone, back to the day I didn't know him. I knew him from Rara and since then I felt my life was different, he changed a lot of things from me. But someone took him away from me, even for a little while, but he left me a lot of memories to remember.

Is... Can we meet again later? If we meet again, will you remember me? When we meet one day, will you accept me in the depths of your heart? No, not for a moment, can you just settle down and not leave again? Can you be my settling buddy, and don't just stop by.

I now feel that everything is back at the beginning again, I feel that I have no one else, I feel that everything I built was just meaningless, everything I have is worthless.

I'm just here, I'm not going anywhere, I don't even know where I'm going.

Rara came to me every day and told me all her complaints, nothing special, she was almost the same as me. Now that Mom and Dad have made up, they've already referred. While my mother, I don't know where she is, she didn't see me, maybe Dad asked her to leave.

Life is running normally than usual, now I don't need to do strange things at Mother's request, maybe it's better if Mother really leaves.

I see Diego, ah I don't know, I don't know what he's feeling, could he be feeling sad? He shouldn't have asked her to leave if he felt that way. He liked it long enough.

“Iqbal, you don't want to see Evlyn, she left today? ask Mom when we were in the family room.

“Come on, he is young, anyone must have done wrong, your son is also fine now!” mama said again, and all the laughs filled the room, yes, except Diego. He may not want to joke. He just kept quiet.

“You didn't see him?” ask Diego. He remained silent and left without answering. It's the first time I've seen his cold demeanor, or he's like that. I don't know, only he knows!

“Dek, I'm sorry yes,” said Bang Rehan suddenly when we were tidying up the items to be brought when leaving.

“Hush, no apologies yes.”

“fixed, it's all my fault, otherwise we'll stay here.”

“Hush,..!” sahutku again.

“Ih, what the hell Dek, lo again ngusir chicken what,” he said and I laughed.

“Yes, Her brother!”

“Nak aja, Our house has been sold, but not very expensive anyway!”

“Udahlah, gapapa, later we find a small house aja.”

Before leaving I went around first around the house, I felt sad to have to leave this house and this place, no matter how big I am here, it feels like my own birthplace.

A place where people know me, and every time I get to come home here, in the most comfortable place I ever had with someone who loved me, I regret that there is not much I can do, but now, I'll take care of my brother and take better care of him.

About the marriage, my brother was young and our journey was long, I knew I couldn't lie and said everything was fine.

I would love to see him, I would like to say goodbye one last time, I would also like to apologize for everything, also thank you, for seeing me a second time.

One day, will you see me again? Can we be okay at the meeting? Or when it comes, you've met someone better. But, can I keep you until then?

“Lyn, you guys moved ya today?” said Rara met me outside the compound, she said even though she was not with Bang Rehan, at least our relationship remained fine. I was sad to hear him say that.

“Bengong mulu, Lyn,” he said again.

“Iya-iya, Ra, thank you for all this, sorry for me too!” I said to hug him again.

“Mellow will be, so how can we be validated!”

“Kangen backpack knows me,” I said.

“Gue too, don't forget me yes!”

***

Now it's time for us to get out of here, it feels like my feet are so reluctant to leave, I don't know when I'll be back here, or even we'll never set foot here again. Although this is not my home country, it leaves a lot of memories for me.

I wish I could at least see Diego's brother for the last time, but he doesn't seem to want to visit me, ever since he realized I never saw him again.

Will it all end like this? Why do I feel sad about this, when clearly he asked me to leave him.

We're waiting for the bus to take me away, I somehow wish he'd show up here, at least once. I stared at my watch many times, and looked in that direction. I waited for him even at the last moment, wasn't that funny, was it?

The bus we were waiting for now arrived, I laughed at a glance because what I expected was unexpected, he did not come here. Maybe he doesn't want to see me anymore. What I was hoping for, this is too far from reality.

Could I have to cut it? Or do I keep letting this hope speak, the bus driver asked me to get on as the passengers urged him to get out of here immediately, Bang Rehan reminded me to get in.

Now I was standing and preparing to get on the bus, but I saw him now. He was standing across the street looking at me. Does he want to see me now! Is this a farewell greeting? But at least I've seen it. That's enough for me.

I entered the Bus now, and the bus I had rushed to take me away.

I was now far away from there, I felt relieved, because at least I had seen it for the last time. Although I actually feel very claustrophobic.

If love can live once more, I want to embrace it, without breaking, without tears. However, fate seemed to take me far away from there and did not allow me to be together. But I am sure that separation is not an end, but a new beginning for a new meeting.
