Part. 97



The tongue feels faint for a while, Bima is not able to pronounce words even in the mind there is no arrangement of words formed for him to say. His gaze focused on the owner of the blackish brown bead seeds in front. His face was grim, a blaze of sadness splashed onto the surface of his iris.


"How can you get out of control?" bima asked after a few seconds stunned to hear the words of Revan, his friend and cousin.


The breath that the young man of Bima's age did sounded heavy. It was as if he was carrying a burden that was writhing spoiled on his shoulders. He bowed his head, staring at the grass they were burning without sin.


"I was confused at the time. To be honest, I was so desperate at that time that it made me unable to think clearly. My friends there always say that alcohol can reduce the burden of our suffering. In fact, it adds a burden to my life. Until now, I have not met the victim I hit" said Revan.


Bima caught regret through his weak voice and the sigh he exhaled. Secretly the young man's lips formed a smile, which although faint could still be seen.


"Do you know who you hit?" ask Bima to pretend. Very clever of you!


Revan raised his face, the restlessness that plagued his heart was clearly visible in the emanation of brownish iris. He stared at the clear sky on a white cloud that was moving along slowly.


"I knew. Both of his parents came to the prison to see me. Do you know, Bima .. This world is indeed only as wide as moringa leaves. The person I hit was my own cousin, my Uncle's son who went missing twenty years ago. Destiny is too complicated, isn't it? As complex as a tangled thread that took decades to be able to unravel," said Revan with a capricious face ripple.


The eyes that had widened, returned to normal after saying what was in his heart. Bima was not surprised at all, he already knew everything. It's just, still want to keep a secret about who he is from Akmal and Revan. He himself will tell them who he is.


"Lu have no intention of meeting your cousin? Well, let's get to know each other."


Again the sigh exhaled Revan with a long. He was not ready, especially because he was the cause of his cousin lying in a hospital bed.


"I'm not ready yet." He turned to Bima and smiled, "you work? Or college?" tanyanya changed the topic of conversation.


Bima flicked her lips, smiled with her face turned away, staring at the rippling pond water due to the movement of the fish inside.


"Working cave, also college cave. The rich caveman who wants to pay in addition to his own cave. Nyak Babeh cave is old, no way the cave tell them to keep working. Well ... we are one age, but different fate," said Bima while chuckling.


What a heartwarming meeting of two friends, Revan who does not know if Bima is Ibrahim the son of his own Uncle, and Bima just want to see what sincerity always emanates through the eyes.


Under the shade of the banyan tree which is evidence of two young men giving each other a longing. They tell stories coming here, sharing their own life experiences. Revan was amazed when Bima told about himself who had been a wild racer.


"Whoa! You're cool, man! Next time take me to your friends' clubhouse. I want to join in," exclaimed Revan with a twinkle in his eyes.


"Well, another time because the cave has never raced again" Bima said. It's okay, the important thing is that Revan gets to know the group. He is a race lover.


"Revan?" A girl called him to make Revan have to move and say goodbye to Bima. They hugged each other before they separated. Be, Bima returned alone on the bench of the park.


His encounter with Revan was truly impressive this time around. He looked at the back of his best friend and cousin who was getting away with a girl who looked sexy and beautiful. For sure, he's not Khaira. Bima was relieved when she saw the girl was not the girl who was residing in her heart.


"Duh, cave forgot. Dad ama Nasya must be waiting for the cave." He hurriedly left the park bench that witnessed his meeting with Revan.


Recalling the way back where Razka waited because this was her first time going down the park.


"Gua so keingetan that girl. Why not nyamperin cave time in the hospital, yes," muttered Bima on the way to the gazebo.


"Sister!" Nasya hugged Bima as he looked at her brother. He was very worried because Bima so long come.


"Sister is okay? Why so long?" tanyanya while looking up at the dark bead of Bima. The young man's lips smiled, he clasped his sister's body tightly and invited her back to walk to meet their father who was still waiting.


"About nothing, you don't have to worry about caves." Bima again commented on the calming smile.


"We eat first. It's a shame if it's not eaten. Both of your mothers have provided us with so much food" Razka said as her two children arrived at the gazebo where she was waiting.


He opened the lunch box and spread it on the floor of the gazebo made of wood board. They enjoyed the food before returning home. The beautiful atmosphere makes anyone feel at home to linger to stay. Including those who are still sitting enjoy the breeze even though the food they have spent.


Satisfied to be able to breathe in the fresh aroma provided by the universe. Bima is no longer moody, her legs are better. He also wants to go to college and work again. This time though it had to force the two women to agree.


"How's Brother's leg? Is it better?" asked Nasya on their way home. He leaned closer to Bima's seat beside the wheel.


"Udah, Thank God. Dad, tomorrow I want to work and go to college. I've felt better" replied Bima who immediately turned to Razka asking for her approval.


"It's up to you, son. I can only support. Your car is ready, do not bring a motor first" said Razka. Bima gulped. To the college take a car? That's too flashy.


"Dad-dad"


"No, Baim. I haven't given you permission to travel on your bike. Wait until the condition of your feet is completely recovered, then you can bring the object," Razka quickly trimmed Bima's sentence that has not been finished saying.


Bima grunts languidly. He leaned against the chair, resigned to the decision Razka gave him.


Questions were asked when the two women arrived home. Seeing Bima who was fine they were grateful. Then, Bima asked for permission from both of them not to forget also God to start activities that have been interrupted because of problems that come and go.


Through the debate of alot and the determination of Bima, both are destroyed.


The next day, Bima was preparing to go to campus. Before that he would meet Akmal at the mansion to drive him to the office. Just look! What Akmal's welcome was like for him.
