Miss, Make Me Your Driver!!

Chapter 6 Goodbye Eyang Sugeng

"Sumiyati's mother who needs special treatment because she is old so her condition has begun to weaken" the other sister who followed her colleague said.

They all moved to encourage Sumiyati.

Tonight they went through with shredded feelings and wounded souls as if the wounds were wide open.

The hallway of the hospital seemed to be a silent witness of those who stepped in and out of the room one to the other.

A bright morning reveals its warm glow, which erases the traces of morning dew. But unfortunately a family has lost one of the life signs of the body of their loved ones.

Ervin, Nissa, Rico, and the Evans family accompanied Sugeng's departure to his final resting place. He was buried in a family tomb that Malik bought since Ervin was a toddler.

The fresh, wet mound of earth and sprinkled with flowers on it made all of them present feel claustrophobic. For this is the primary purpose of man.

"You guys are strong! kasian Eyang Sugeng if you cry continuously. Pray for him to get his best place by his side." Fatma stroked the three men in turn.

"We can't afford to give this news to Eyang Uti," Nissa said hoarsely.

"You have to wait for the right time to tell all this. Let them recover their condition, "Fatma held back her tears from falling. He rubbed his eyes before the water flowed.

"Now we go home! you need to rest, let Auntie and Om take care of them," Evans, who had been silent, finally opened his voice.

"But I still want to be here, Om, Auntie!" Nissa refused to go home.

He was more injured than Ervin and Rico. Because since he was small, he always played with Sugeng. Memories that imprint in his memories one by one appear in his head.

He sat on the edge of the tombstone, clutching the tombstone and crying as he pleased.

"I'm the one who keeps sister Nissa here, you can go home first! thank you very much for your help Om and Auntie," he shook both of their hands.

Evans hugged him tightly as if giving a strength to Ervin.

They returned home from the funeral and rested for a while at Malik's residence.

"Eh, do you know the bad news that happened to Ervin's family?" ask his genk friend.

"Tau donk, one school talks about that" said another.

"Well, 3 days Ervin didn't go to school, did we go to his house and cheer him up?" suggest one of them.

"By the way, we invite other friends too then. Yes at least 5 people who came to serve," the proposal was welcomed by another friend

"Tomorrow afternoon we go, how?" another suggestion.

"By me, I also have no activities if tomorrow afternoon," they have decided when to come.

In a different class, Jasmine was surrounded by a group of her friends. They asked about Ervin and his family.

"Sir Zeta and Eyang were well aware and their condition began to improve. But Ervin's parents still need special care." He took a long breath.

"That means they are too bad!" one of them commented.

"Sure, the thing is from what I heard the car hit the road barrier with a fast. Om Malik dodged from a truck." He looked back at Ervin who told the story.

Those who heard him shuddered in horror. And didn't ask Jasmine about it anymore.

The bell rings and they return to their seats. The class was quiet again after a teacher entered.

"Sister, are we moving Mama and Papa home?" Ervin asked.

"What if they're there? doctors can treat their patients if they are still there. If our parents are treated at home will even make it difficult for doctors to check periodically his condition," Nissa gave understanding.

"But I'm so upset with them, I want to talk to them again" Ervin lowered his head.

Rico stepped closer to the two, he had been taking care of his brother and his eyes all day. Now it's Nissa's turn to look after them.

"If you're tired of taking a break!" Nissa looked at Rico.

"Why don't you want to pay for nurses? even we have to take care of them" Rico complained.

"How could you say that! Zeta is my only real sister. And eyang is also the only one we have. At least they get our attention. It could also get them excited to make a full recovery," Nissa objected to Rico's complaint.

'But right" Rico's speech was interrupted by Nissa.

"If you don't want to take care of them let me take care of them alone" Nissa was about to leave them.

"Not that Nis, we will have to prepare the final thesis. If our bodies are tired automatically our thinking power is also not optimal," Rico reasoned.

"Here you are, the problem of college was Nissa resigned. I can continue next year as well" he quickly left Rico.

"You're always arguing, is it okay if they hear the words of Rico?" Ervin leaves Rico alone.

He entered his room and closed the door with a loud thud. He shook himself in his bed and tried to close his eyes. For almost five days his soul and body seemed to be forced to accept a bitter reality. At such a young age, Ervin had already gotten a trial that required him to be stoic and stay in sanity.

The sound of a motor vehicle engine sounds faint-dyed in Ervin's ear. He opened his eyes and got out of bed. He peeked behind a transparent curtain. There was a smile on his lips. He hasn't smiled like that in a long time. He rushed out and welcomed them.

"It turns out to know also welcome guests," kekeh a friend of his.

"We're not allowed in?" ask the other one.

"How come you've been named Vin?" others cringe.

"I miss you very much" Ervin screeched and scattered himself on those who came.

"Gosh, I thought you were smiling so hard because of the devil's embrace" another friend shook his head.

"Look yuk!" after taking off his embrace he offered his friend to come in.

Rico who saw their arrival did not budge and stepped away.

"Who is Vin? how did I just find out? don't you just have Nissa's sister?" he asks.

"That's my cousin Rico's brother, he's been living here with me since college" she explained.

"Kok the guy's not that friendly?" knock one of them.

"Looking up, he's the other guy," Ervin chuckled.

"Oh yeah, what do you want to drink? come with me! you guys must be surprised if I have this device," he smiled proudly. For a moment Ervin forgot the immortality of his heart.

"Where are you?" they look at each other.

The five teenage responsibilities followed Ervin's steps, they gawked when they saw a machine that Ervin had.

"Do you really have any? I want to, how long is Vin?" ask friend.

"Gosh I didn't think that in your house there was such a device," another chimed in.

Ervin smiled proudly.

"oh yes. problem bets later we...

They looked at the face of his friend who was alluding about the bet. They're cheering except for Ervin.
