PREMATURE
I am now in the city of Ara. The city where I grew up. A city full of memories.
I came to this city because I brought a humanitarian donation from friends who empathized because of the big earthquake that happened a few days ago.
Actually, Pipin, my wife won't let me into this town. Of course, Ara is the reason. But I insisted that I should leave because my family was here and because there was a duty from the office. That's my excuse.
And finally my wife let me go on condition that I don't see Ara. I also accepted.
The real reason that I was clamoring to keep going was Ara. I'm worried about the situation. Because when the earthquake happened, Ara sent me a message but I couldn't reply, because of my circumstances.
When he first set foot in this city, Ara's face was reflected. I wanted so badly to look for him. But since I'm in town with some friends so I can't just go. I'll find the right time.
My friends and I have made our charity itinerary and route. During the day we brought some dry Snack parcels, bread, tarps, blankets, rice, and second-hand clothes worth using.
In the evening I let my friends see the state of friends in a village.
"Pak Pram's... I also invited dong. Cook go it yourself ntar kesasar you know." Surya said, one of the friends who joined my entourage.
I smiled, and then said.
"Ayoo if you want to come. Let's take a look at the state of the city at night."
Suryo looked happy and immediately prepared to come along.
Then Suryo and I rode on a motorcycle I borrowed from one of the villagers x. And earlier I asked which way to area x. My destination is Ara's residence.
After understanding the explanation of the people, we also left.
"Mr.Pram... Whose house are we going to?" Ask Suryo.
" We look around first yaa mas Suryo... I also do not know this area. I haven't been home in a long time. " I said explain.
"Oh yes sir... Let's go first."
I entered the area where Ara lived. I found an offline store yes, I read it clearly. I looked at the shop and the houses around it
I saw houses in the area where Ara lived nothing collapsed, different from the area next door.
I remembered my promise to my wife Pipin not to see Ara. Well, it's okay that I didn't visit him the most important thing is that I saw Ara was fine.
"This is Mr Pram's friend's house? " Tanya Suryo's.
I just nodded and passed from Ara's house.
"How come we didn't stop by sir?"
"Yeah... We're just passing through. His home is also okay. We have been going after Mas. Fear it will even bother because it's already night Mas." I said while turning on the motor.
Then I went around the neighborhood Ara. Soon we finally arrived where we were staying.
I sat alone on the terrace. I burned my cigarette. I sucked deeply and I exhaled slowly.
The face of Ara. "Yaaa my Lord, protect Ara and her family...Keep out of all danger." I said in my heart as a thread of my prayer.
Suddenly my phone rang, and I saw a call from my wife. I immediately accepted it.
" Pa... How's Papa doing there? "Ask my wife.
"Papa's fine, ma'am. What are you kids there?" I asked back.
"We're fine Pa... There's just no Papa." Wife says.
"Ooh yeah.. Cook anyway... As far as Papa is concerned, no one misses Papa." I said.
"It's really Pa, Mom misses Papa. Cepet came home Pa... Finished business there Papa immediately went home.. "My wife said.
"Yes Ma... Papa went straight home. Papa didn't linger here." I said.
"Yes Pa... Now Papa rest first and yaa...
"Yes Ma... I also need to rest enough... "My word.
Pipin nodded, then called me over.
