My Ribs

The Kinara

Days changed, and the time of departure for Kinara to attend the seminar arrived. Because it was only a day there, so there were not many things that Kinara needed to prepare.

"Mas, let's go!"take Kinara after finishing packing, approaching Arjuna who is standing on the balcony of the room.

"Ra, why don't you leave tomorrow?"ask Arjuna who seems unwilling if Kinara leaves that night.

"If I leave at dawn I'm afraid I can't be on time to attend the seminar, Mas" replied Kinara who had taken everything into account.

Arjuna let out a heavy sigh, for some reason it felt like he did not want Kinara to leave. With a gontai step Arjuna came out of his room followed by Kinara. Kinara also said goodbye to Abimana, Agus and Bik Iyem.

"Ye ilee.. only want to be left a day a night already like to be left a year,"sindir Agus on Arjuna who looks once if it looks lethargic because it will be left Kinara.

"Even if I stay a year, Mas Juna will still wait for me, right, Mas?"tanya Kinara smiled thinly while holding Arjuna's hand.

"Don't talk shit!"ketus Arjuna responded to Kinara's words. While Abimana, Agus and Bik Iyem only smiled to hear and see the interaction of the two.

After a few minutes of travel, Arjuna and Kinara finally arrived at the airport. Arjuna held Kinara's hand and seemed reluctant to let go.

"Mas, I'm leaving, yeah!"pamit Kinara kissed the back of Arjuna's hand.

Arjuna immediately grabbed Kinara in his arms, without caring for the many people who were watching them. Arjuna was completely reluctant to let go of Kinara's departure.

"Mas, I am your rib, believe me, even if we are separated, I will definitely return to you" Kinara said in Arjuna's arms.

"You must keep your promise!"arjuna said and was answered with a nod of the head by Kinara. Slowly Arjuna let go of his embrace and kissed Kinara's lips for a while.

Finally the plane boarded by Kinara took off and Arjuna left the airport, driving forward with a heart that felt empty. A few minutes drive heard the ringing of Kinara's mobile phone in the passenger seat next to the steering wheel, making Arjuna jerked.

"If you are my rib

You're going back

On this body

I will grow old and die

In your embrace

For you this whole breath,"

The song's stanza greeted Arjuna's hearing. Because of the rather heavy traffic Arjuna did not pick up incoming calls on Kinara phones.

"How do I contact him later? Even the phone was left in the car," muttered Arjuna snorting in annoyance.

Arjuna's car entered the grounds of Abimana's house when Agus left the house in a hurry. Agus who saw Arjuna's car immediately approached Arjuna who had just stopped.

"Mas Juna, the plane carrying Mbak Kinara exploded over the sea." said Agus with hunting breath and a face that looked very anxious, panicked and worried to be one.

Deghs. Instantly Arjuna's lethargic face turned grim, "A..What are you saying? Don't you joke!"snapped Arjuna who had the look on his face could no longer be interpreted by Agus.

Agus immediately picked up his phone and played the latest news that reported the plane carrying Kinara had exploded over the sea about half an hour after takeoff.

Looking at the latest news, Arjuna's tongue felt faint, his body felt like it was not boned, the crystal grains dripping without being able to be dammed. With a trembling body igniting the car engine and directly plugging the gas, return to the airport.

"Mas Juna! Mas Juna !"agus shouted but was not ignored by Arjuna, continuing to drive his car.

Arjuna, like a man in a trance, came to the airport to find information and then to the SAR Team post. See who survived and who was found dead. Days did not want to go home, helped find the whereabouts of his wife until his hopes were dashed when the SAR Team stopped the search, but Kinara was not found.

She locked herself in a room for days hugging their wedding photos, blaming herself. He should have prevented Kinara from leaving, he shouldn't have taken Kinara to the airport. Arjuna was taken to the hospital for not eating and drinking for several days and locked the door of his room from the inside.

Arjuna was devastated when he lost Kinara. Kinara's mother advised Arjuna that Kinara would not be happy to see her like that until Arjuna wanted to eat and drink. Six months Arjuna like a person who does not have the spirit of life, until his business is taken care of by Agus and Mr. Radit.

***

One year later....

Arjuna stood on the balcony of his room listening to the song "This Whole Breath" sung by Last Child. Arjuna's face looked flat, no more smiles adorning his lips since Kinara's departure a year ago. Until now, Arjuna did not know about Kinara. Even his body was not found.

Arjuna spends his time and through his days just by working and working. Arjuna could not forget Kinara. The days that they had gone through were always reflected in his memory and all that Arjuna could never forget.

Abimana, Agus and Bik Iyem were deeply concerned about Arjuna's situation. Even Kinara's mother also died, ten months after the plane crash that hit Kinara. The middle-aged woman had a traffic accident and died after three days in a coma.

Every time he came home from work late at night, Arjuna spent his time reading Kinara's diary until Arjuna fell asleep. Arjuna accidentally finds a diary written by Kinara, which Kinara hides in her wardrobe.

From the diary, Arjuna knew a lot about Kinara and about how much Kinara loved him and how happy Kinara was to be with Arjuna. Although at the beginning of their marriage, Kinara wrote her complaint in her diary, how cold Arjuna's attitude to her.

But all these are just memories that cannot be repeated. Only the past cannot be replayed. Only memories in memory can not be forgotten and always torment Arjuna.

In a hospital, Abiman was seen sitting on a bench, waiting for Agus who was redeeming his medicine in the pharmacy. Feeling tired of waiting, Abimana also rose from her seat and accidentally collided with someone to make Abimana fall.

"Sorry! Forgive me, I accidentally, cake," said a woman who collided with Abimana.

Abhimana seemed to gasp when she heard that familiar voice in her ear. Abimana looked at the woman who was trying to help her to wake up.

"I'm sorry, cake!"the woman said again, not looking good.

"Your voice is very similar to the voice of the people I know" said Abimana who was now sitting in a chair.

"really? It just so happens, yes, cake," said the woman with a smile on her lips.

"If you may know, what is your name?"abimana asked, looking at the beautiful woman in front of her.

"I'm Chintania, cake," said the woman.

"It!"call a handsome young man wearing snelli.

Chintania leaves Abimana after believing the old man is okay, then leaves with the young man who calls her.

"Mom Nia is so pretty, huh? It's a good fit for Noah's doctor, "tap a nurse.

"Yes, but I've heard that Noah's doctor has been repeatedly rejected by Ms. Nia,"

"When they are very suitable, the only child who owns this hospital, the only doctor with a myriad of achievements,"

That was the chatter heard in Abimana's ears until a faint smile rose on Abimana's lips. There seemed to be something that made the old man look happy.

...🌟"Man never knows when love will come and go, but he who has gone to face Him will never come back again'"🌟...

...🌟"Maybe he's not the best mate for you, therefore, God keep him away, even take him away from you."🌟...

..."Nana October 17th"...
