April picked up her phone.
"Salim's brother?" April frowned looking at the name listed. Then press the green button to lift the incoming call.
" Hello Assalamualaikum." April speech begins.
" Waalaikum salam Pril." Salim replied on the phone.
"What's up, brother?" Ask April.
"How did you get home? Wh why? Is your bike on strike on the road? Did your motorcycle tire deflate? Or why?" Ask Kak Salim.
April so made keder himself heard the question of Kak Salim who clashed.
"Huh?" Only that word can come out of April's mouth.
"You why? I saw your WA story." There was a worried tone from Brother Salim.
"Ac - Akuu ... Iku." Stuttering April.
" You don't papa, do you?" Ask Salim again.
"I-I'm just confused how I got home Brother. Vani left me home with his girlfriend. I haven't memorized 100% of the way home. Just remember vaguely, because every day Vani is driving in front." Clear April.
"Ohhhh..." I heard Salim breathing.
"Thank God, I thought you were doing something.I'm in a boarding house right now. I can't come to get you." Sesal Salim who turned out to be in the boarding house where he studied in another city.
"I-iya Kak, gak pa kok. I-I can pull myself." April's words are bold.
"I know that you are terrible at memorizing the way. So don't be so brave." Salim's protest.
April is silent, because it is no longer a secret, everyone who knows April will find out if April is road blind.
"Can you call the house guy to pick you up?" Ask Salim again.
"Father is wandering, Mother Gaka dare to ride a motorcycle on a big road. I'm not home either. No one can pick me up, brother." Sad April.
"Then how are you?" Ask Salim worriedly.
"I-I'll go home by myself, brother. God can do it." April convinced Salim at once herself.
"What if I tell my friend to come get you?"
"No, sister, I'll be even more afraid because I'm a stranger." Reject April, while Salim just quietly sighed.
"Yaudah well Brother, I want to go home first, fear getting late and I even more dare not later. He he - he.." April's chuckles stiff.
"Yes, be careful. I also want to do the job first, it's been awaited because.."
"Yes, sister, is it that my brother is dead on his phone?" April Saying.
"Eh don't, don't be stared at. Let it stay connected until you get home. I don't want you to do anything." Avoid it a little squealing.
"O-ohh. o-ke sister." Stuttering April.
April turned on the loudspeaker to hear Salim's voice. April put her phone in her shirt pocket on her left chest.
April turns on her motorbike, but instead of going straight for gas, but April still gathers her courage.
April stared at the front alley that looked dim and lonely, feeling afraid to stop again.
Same with Vani. He could have let me go home alone. He is the one who knows best about my condition. Inner April grumbled.
"Prill? The road?" Salim asked on the phone.
"Eh emmm.. be-yet Kak, this is the way." Answer April.
"Read Bismillah first Pril." Salim Pinta.
April nodded and then according.
"Bismillahirahmanirahim. Good luck to be home without any hitch." April muttered softly and deachiiri by rubbing her face with both palms.
"Yok can yokk..." He murmured again and pulled the gas slowly.
Streets deserted, dim lighting, all the doors of the houses are tightly closed. Sometimes even the sound of a dog's howl makes him creep.
Every April turn always pauses to remember which way He will turn.His insistence on a vague return route makes him cautious.
"Astagfirullahhalazim." April Saying.
"Hey Aprill...Are you ok?" salim asked who heard April's screeches.
April still set her hunting breath.
"I-iya Brother...It's nothing." Clear April.
"Then why do you sound rude?" Ask Salim.
" So suddenly there was a cat through Kak. I'm the one with the lack of focus so shocked and almost hit him."
"Be careful April. I don't want you to do anything. If you're sorry for our son's future." Salim Speech.
"Haaa? M-What brother do you mean?" Tanya April confused mendegar said 'Our son' mentioned by Kak Salim.
"Yes, the future of our child. If you do anything, then,pity our children will not be born in this world.And you in the future will marry me and you will be the future mother of our children who are still not in the process. Uh, don't process. We have not been dating, let alone married through the process of children. He he - he." Canda Salim absurd...
April frowned in fear of hearing it. Salim raises the problem of processing children. And that's a taboo on April's mind.
April did not break Salim's joke and continued his journey that felt gripping for him.
"That's why I am." Salim muttered from the phone call that was heard by April.April just smiled faintly hearing it.
Already half way through April.Kini April is already on the path of his village. Only need to pass through 3 hamlets to get to his house immediately. Until here April has memorized the path home.
"Alhamdulillah Brother. It turns out I can go home through the lane of the alley that many bought earlier. Now I've entered the village path, so it's been eloquent the same route." April sounded happy.
"Yes, but you have to be careful. Soon you will pass through the border of the village.You will pass through a quiet and dark road that along the right and left there is only a rice field without a single house. The road is also prone to accidents, even there have been fatalities there, right? You must be careful, do not forget to recollect from Allah." Remember Salim.
Degs...
"So, I forgot about it. Usually I will pass the road with 2 other friends. But this time they were hanging out in the town square, so I went home alone. This is my first time, brother, I'm a little scared." April's speech slowed down the speed of the motor. I wish there were other vehicles passing by so I could go together.
"You don't be afraid. Later in the middle of the road there will be a house that sells pecel rice. Sometimes it's rame young people hanging out." Say Salim again.
"But often when I come home already closed Brother. But sometimes there are young people who are still there anyway."
"Judah bismillah." Salim is soothing.
"It's been seen his sis warung.Lampunya is still brightly lit. There's a lot of guys hanging out." April was a little happy.
"You be careful." Remember Salim again.
April also increased the speed of the motor. Hoping that the presence of youth can reduce his fear through this quiet and dark road.
The closer April got to the stall, but April frowned after realizing something.
"Sister... It seems that there who is hanging out is not the usual young man. There are many young men who wear a levis jacket and motorbike used one type, motor racing." Clear April
"You just pass by quietly, don't look panicked ok. You should try to be as relaxed as possible when passing in front of them later, so as not to draw their attention to you." There was a worried tone from Salim.
"Are they bad people, brother? I-I'm scared, brother." April's Worries.
"It looks like they are the son of a motorcycle gang that is often talked about by residents around Pril. The biker gangs are troubling the citizens." Said Salim which even made April even more frightened.
Unknowingly April was currently passing in front of the horde of youths. April looked at them with a scared face. Unknowingly his hand pulled the gas until it faltered. Like a guy who's blurting.
"Woyy...Take a storm on the boy." Excite one of them while pointing at April..
