My ex, my husband
EPS 60 Bimo Graduation
3 Days after Obie's death, it was hard for Rara. 3hr Rara was pensive in a heartache. Even Rara had permission from her workplace because she suddenly fell ill due to a poor diet. But Rara realizes that swimming in grief will not be able to restore Obie. Dissolving in sadness will not make things better. Finally Rara began to accept the situation, she tried to get up and become a jolly person again.
'If you still love her, fight for Ra'
A sentence that Rara kept thinking about. The words that Obie conveyed through a dream in front of the operating room that night. Rara is convinced that it is not a dream, Obie is actually present even though it is only through sleeping flowers.
'I'll keep fighting as I can. I'm sure I can be happy. With Bimo. I love you, Bie. I will show you my struggle, as you say, Rara.
Now Rara began to return to activities as usual, living the day by working, completing the thesis, gathering with her friends. Rara was already impatiently waiting for Bimo's graduation moment, wanting to meet Bella again and meet Bimo's parents.
--
In the evening, Rara and Bimo are having dinner together at one of the eating places.
"Bella when did you come here?" Rara's.
"Tomorrow nights" Bimo.
"Sister are you coming?"
"Engga, brother is still in kalimantan. Tomorrow comes only Father, Mother and Bella"
"Ohhh...."
"Tomorrow the night I pick you up, come eat with them" Bimo asked.
"Yaaahhhh, I can't, I'm going to the afternoon shift tomorrow, Bim's mall"
"Hmmm jaudah..."
"Meet you tomorrow again at the graduation hall" Rara smiled.
"Yes. Oh yeah Ra. Somebody wants me to tell you a story"
"What?"
"After graduation, tomorrow I go directly to Surabaya"
"Well?"
"I have a work call"
"Oh yeah?" Rara was happy to hear that.
"You're a gap, aren't you?" ask Bimo.
"Why, can't time?. It's good to get a job straight away. That's Bim's risk. The more mature the more risk we will experience. We are almost separated from the student profession, hahaha. Maybe we'll dong here and there. We must have graduated, worked, married, had a family. Well because you have got a job, you have to benefit everything well, work for your supplies later. Tube result".
"After the graduation ceremony, you took a walk around Jogja yes, with Mom, Dad, and Bella, with me too, before I left Jogja and went to Surabaya"
"Siaaapp Booss!!!" rara replied happily.
"You plan to finish graduation later want to go straight back to Bandung?" ask Bimo.
"Mmm.. don't know yet, I want to open a cake shop" replied Rara.
"What can you do to make a cake? you can only eat" ledek Bimo.
"ih you look out if you will be addicted to my cake" Rara pouted.
Bimo laughs.
--
Rara took out her closet, looking for clothes that could make her look beautiful and graceful.
"Lo wants to wear what clothes Ra, so many lo still not know which one you want to wear" Mela was upset to see Rara still choosing clothes.
"Okay. pake which is Mel, confused, who seems to pantes in the view of Mel, so that his mother and father Bimo see me" answered Rara still choose clothes.
"Pake where aja pantes times Ra, which ga pentes it if you do not wear clothes! use this one, you are beautiful and use anything. Buruan ntar late" Mela gave her choice of clothes.
Rara rushed to wear the clothes that Mela had chosen.
"Mel, I don't know how this made it?" Rara holds the makeup tool that Mela brought.
"Ah has Ra, turn her into a girl tuh dandan. Gini just don't understand, here let me dandanin lo. Later" finally Mela dressed Rara.
"Yang graduation Bimo, the ribet elo" muttered Mela annoyed while dressing Rara.
"Hahah ya maap. I will meet his family Bimo, I have to give a good impression dong Mel"
"Yes. yaaa. Here's your hair, I'm catokin let cepet finished, Sasa, Aldi, Galih already otw to the graduation building"
"Jaudah let's go hunt Mel"
--
In front of the graduation building, Rara, Mela, Sasa, Galih and Aldi were waiting. Unconsciously Rara shed tears.
"Ko lo mangis Ra?" ask Sasa.
"Gue was moved, even though I did not graduate with Bimo but I was happy today he was already at graduation"
"Yaudah lo don't cry makeup lo ntar fade, have my cape-cape dandanin" Mela.
Long enough they waited for Bimo in front of the building. The show is still going. Rara suddenly felt nervous. Thought everywhere.
"Lo why Ra? nahan*k?" ask Galih.
"What the hell lo" Rara was upset.
"Mel" continued Rara.
"Hm?"
"What do I do?"
"Why? nervous want to see the future in-laws?" ledek Mela's.
"Openan.."
"Because?"
"I feel like Mia's here"
"Ah has Ra, not maybe Mia here, she's in her hometown, after all Bimo has not been the same Mia, why also Mia here" Mela tried to calm down.
'That's why I thought Mia came here' Rara.
--
After a few hours of waiting, the show was finally over. Shortly after, Bimo came out of the crowd. Bimo walks gallantly with toga on his head, drawing closer to Rara and her companions.
"Wiihhhh congratulations brooo" Galih embraces Bimo in the aftercare with Aldi
"Congratulations Bim..." Sasa and Mela greet Bimo.
Rara was really happy and proud to see Bimo. Rara smiled and congratulated Bimo and gave him a gift.
"Congratulations Bim...." Rara's.
"Thank you Ra...." Bimo smiled looking at Rara's face.
"Eh, where's your old man, ko out alone?" Subterfuge.
"Yes his seat was separate, but had seen it anyway, where yes" Bimo looked to the right to the left looking around, looking for the whereabouts of his family.
"Well" Bimo pointed in one direction.
All are directed by Bimo. From quite a distance, Bella, Father and Mother Bimo were seen, but among them was a woman who stood on her back, who was chatting with Bimo's mother.
'Is that Bimo's brother? he said there is no dateng ko now?' Rara's.
Bimo tried to call them and waved to them. But the sheer number of people on the show made things very crowded. Bimo finally walked over to his family. After Bimo almost got closer to his family, the woman who had turned her back, suddenly turned around.
'Miaaa????!!!' Rara's.
"Who's the woman in front of Bimo's mother?" ask Sasa.
"That's a lot, who wears a long dress, long unraveling hair" explained Sasa.
"Beautiful yes" Aldi.
"Where the hell, ga leapss" muttered Mela.
"Gu.. I. find a drink first yes" said Rara then walked away.
"Ra where are you going??!!' shout Galih.
Rara did not answer and did not look. He kept walking away until at last in the crowd.
--
"Mom, come on. Somebody wants to see you" Bimo.
--
Rara walks towards the motor park. He left the graduation building. Along the way he cried very hard, driving his bike fast.
'Lo said he wasn't coming, but you brought him here, and you met him with your family. There is no pain to make me sick Bim. Will there be anything after this?!! Are you going to give your invitation to Mia to me??!! Basic Bimo breng*ek!!!' rara shouted continuously forward her motorbike.
--
When Bimo and his family walked back to the place where his friends were, Bimo was astonished and confused.
"Where's the rara?!!" Bimo.
"Buy drink he said" Sasa.
Half an hour passed, Rara did not return. Bimo tries to contact Rara but can't, as well as the others who try to contact and find Rara, but none.
"I think he went home first, because I was in the parking lot, the bike was not there, there was only my motorbike" Mela.
'Why did you suddenly disappear anyway Ra' Bimo.
--
After dinner, the Bimo family returns to their hometown, while Bimo heads straight to Rara's boarding house hoping to meet her.
Rara's room was locked, her motorbike was not on Kos's terrace. Rara's sign is not in the room. Bimo tried to find it around, to contract Galih, to cost Sasa, to the house of Mela, to the cafe he used to visit with Rara, but there was nothing.
'Where are you Ra, tomorrow I have to go to Surabaya, do you not want to meet first' Bimo.
--
In the stadium seat, in the dark of the night, Rara sat under the dim light, there was little illumination through the small lights lined up on the periphery of the circuit. The stadium is not too crowded, there are only a few groups/teams that are assembling the motor, there is no turning around the circuit to practice so there is no noise.
Rara sat speechless, her eyes looking towards the curved circuit, while her gaze was blank. His eyes shed tears.
'Lo said I should fight him, but you saw it this afternoon? he took the woman to his graduation ceremony. Even the woman stood beside her mother, as if as an invited guest Rara murmured inwardly.
'Keep according to you how should I? do I have to keep fighting him? I can not fight prospective husband people, I can not Bie.' continued Rara.
--
Day shows 01.35. After Rara calmed down to run to the stadium, Rara felt so missed Obie. Rara decided before returning home to stop by Obie's boarding house first because the direction of the road was in line. Even though Rara realized visiting the boarding house would only have empty rooms or even been rented by others. But somehow Rara was determined to visit Obie's boarding house even though it was just standing in front of the gate, maybe it could lighten her longing a little.
Arriving at Obie's boarding house, sure enough, the situation was quite quiet because it was 2 pm, but the gate was always open even though it was not opened wide, but the Obie boarding gate was never in the key. Rara stood in front of the gate, watching Obie's room from behind the gate's iron reproach. He didn't feel like he was dropping tears.
'Gue really misses lo Bie'
Before long someone came by his motorbike, about to enter the boarding gate, and it turned out that he was Rudi.
"Rara? what's this hour here?" Rudy.
"Eh. gapapa Rud, it just happened to pass by" replied Rara.
'He must have missed Obie' Rudi.
"Where's the clock coming home?" ask Rara.
"Biasalah, the boy abis playing Ra" replied Rudi.
"Oh yaudah if I go home first yes" Rara was about to start the engine.
"Eh uh Ra. At this hour, aren't you afraid to go home alone? girl, danger. Mending you sleep here, in Obie's room"
"Huh? Has Obie's room been rented yet?"
"Not Ra, Obie has already paid rent until next month, so the cost owner can not rent to others. Obie's stuff is still intact, no one has taken it yet. No one's family has been here yet. There are only friends who have been here to take something, he said his best friend"
'It must be Efan' Rara murmured.
"I happen to hold Obie's key, too. Than you go home to the cost already at this hour mending you sleep here only"
Finally Rudi gives Obie's room spare key to Rara. Rara enters Obie's room. The room is still neat, there is little dust. Rara locked the door, and then lay on top of Obie's bed. Staring at every corner of the room, in Rara's eyes was seen the laughter of Obie while sitting in front of the tv while his right hand held a cigarette and smiled at him.
'Gue is not wrong to go here, finally I can see you even if just a shadow'
Rara shed tears, curled up on the bed while clutching the blanket lying nearby. Rara was really rained longing, until she unconsciously fell asleep as if in the warmth of Obie's embrace.
Epilogues
Mia came out of the building, and saw a mother who was no stranger to her.
'Isn't that Bimo's mother?' Mia´s.
Although Mia has never met her mother Bimo, but when Mia was still close to Bimo and when Bimo was at home, Mia videocall with Bimo while chatting with her mother and sister also through vc. Therefore Mia recognized the Bimo family.
Mia approached the Bimo family.
"Mom?" call Mia.
"Yes?"
"Bimo's mom, huh?"
"Yes, who is it?"
"I'm Mia, Bimo's friend. Bimo where's mom?"
"Mother doesn't know, we're looking for her"
Bimo approached his family.
"That's it" Bimo's mother said.
Mia turned body.
'Mia? why is he here?' Bimo.
-
"Mia's? ko is here?' Bimo.
"Yes, I attended my best friend's graduation, just outside the building I saw your mother, so I'm samperin here, you how are you?" Mia´s.
"Good"
"Oh yes, congratulations Bim" Mia stuck out her hand to shake congratulate.
"Thank you" Bimo replied briefly.
"Oh yes Bim, sorry if I was wrong"
"Ga there's ko"
"Next month, I'm getting married. If you can come yes"
'True, he does have another man' Bimo.
"Ok" Bimo replied briefly. "Mom, come. Someone wanted to meet" Bimo continued pulling his mother's arm and leaving Mia who was still standing on the spot.
'I'm sorry Bim' Mia.
