Notes Without Title

Tabebuya

Drrtt

Suddenly Nea's phone vibrated, fortunately her phone had been mute before. A name appears on Nea's phone screen that reads Absurd Man seen the first time Nea activated her phone. Nea immediately went away, looking for a safe place to call Arka. For some reason, it felt like Nea had just seen something that Nea shouldn't have seen.

"Nee! Finally lifted. Oh, I found the letter, how? Want me to go there now?" arka's voice came from behind Nea's phone.

"Awhile Ka, it seems the time is not right if you make it here."

"Why is that why?" now Fai's voice is heard from back there.

"Something is quite strange."

"Huh how? For a moment, you cry what? What's that weird whimper?" ask Arka.

"So, I'm not crying. The problem is a bit unpleasant to discuss from the phone, tomorrow I'm clear it's just clearer."

"Oh so this I don't have to go there?" ask Arka.

"Not to."

"Yes, I'm the same Fai want to take a shower first too, because our bodies smell of garbage," said Arka from back there.

"I swear to you both. Can't believe me, no morals emang lo both!"

"Huh? You mean we both don't have to take a shower, what the hell?!" arka protest.

"Truly, I know you've both got the blessing, but this is no way bangladesh! Fai should be on guard!"

"Well, you dirty thoughts are the person. Yeah, no fucking bitch! Not the shower you think! That would be if it was halal. Kudu in rukiyah you tuh emang, anyways at home there mamah," protested Arka once he understood what Nea meant.

"Hmm, look out for both of you!"

"Yes not Nea!"

Derren suddenly appears, probably because of Nea's voice that is no longer controlled. Derren called out the name of Nea who was behind him while calling.

"Noe?!"

"Derren?" ask Nea.

"Why Ne?" ask Arka from a different place.

"But Ka, call me matiin first, bye!" Nea cut the connection unilaterally.

"Well, are you here?" asked Derren with his strange gurgle.

Nea began to rotate her brain, she was thinking what she saw should not be seen or vice versa? He is looking for the right answer to eliminate any awkwardness that may be present later. Nea then remembered Ghai, the man who had just disappeared without a trace and made Nea panic half to death. It's more important to bring up Ghai than what just happened, isn't it? Besides, let's just wait for the moment where Derren will talk about it instead of asking directly about it.

"Derren! I've been looking everywhere, Ghai is gone! Puff had no trace of him" Nea panicked.

"Huh? Kidding you?" ask Derren.

Okay, Nea has managed to get Derren back out of his awkward and nervous situation. Derren then stepped leaving Nea behind, Nea chasing.

"So what's the disappearance?" ask Derren.

"Don't want me, which obviously I'm panicking half dead."

Suddenly from the middle there came a groaning sound, Derren and Nea who heard it immediately ran towards the source of the sound. Because the owner of the voice was Ghai, his voice sounded small as if holding back from being heard by anyone.

"Gua's sure it's Ghai! Run nea's spit!" Derren was already scared to death.

"Gua ran away as fast as he could."

"The first two to get there, meet at Ghai's place!"

Suddenly Derren disappears, do not forget that Derren is also a ghost who can move places as he pleases. Nea sped up. When he arrived at Ghai's place, Nea fell so shocked.

Ghai does not look like a handsome, clean, and healthy Ghai. Instead, Ghai looked chaotic, his body lying on white marble with blood seen flowing from his head. At a moment like this, Ghai looks terrible. His body was falling limp, his body seemed to cross freely with the eyes slowing down.

Derren was there, right next to Ghai while acting confused somehow. Suddenly the main door opened, a moonlight entered, illuminating Ghai's body which was somehow being heard. The figure of Yaza stepped in with hasty steps. Nea was still in her position starting to cry.

"Ghi!" yaza shouted, his voice echoing in the hallway.

Chief Ghai turned his head to the side, looked at Yaza then his eyes let out tears. The panicked Derren started crying, it felt like de'javu. Nea was sure she had seen it, but she knew when, where, and with whom she had witnessed it.

"Now take a deep breath Gha, close your eyes. Follow my words, 'I am Abhiyoga Ghaitsa Mahawira admitted that he will not be inferior to the deceit of you creatures who are inferior to me'. Say hello if you can not," said Yaza who is still loyal to squat beside Ghai.

Suddenly the miraculous traces of blood that initially began to seep into Ghai's clothes disappeared slowly, along with Ghai who returned reluctant to show his figure. Derren immediately looked towards a dark, luminous hallway.

"You two wait here. I'll go back when it's done."

Such were Derren's last words that Nea and Yaza with today. Yaza then walked closer towards Nea, took a crouching position then brought his body closer towards Nea. Yaza pulled Nea's head slowly then hugged her tightly.

Fragrant Yaza is well known Nea, fragrant calms the heart of Nea who has just finished following the marathon race. Yaza then stroked the top of Nea's head.

"It's nothing, it's not your fault."

For some reason, the feeling of tightness suddenly came back. Nea's tears that had initially stopped coming down, urged her back to come out. Nea was crying in Yaza's arms.

"Nothing, don't be afraid. There I am," Yaza said once again.

Nea sobbed, her chest rising and falling irregularly. Long enough to be in that position, until finally the cry of Nea-pun stopped.

"Is he satisfied? Can stand?" ask Yaza.

Nea nodded then looked at Yaza with her red eyes and nose. I swear by anything, Yaza knew this was a bad moment, but Nea looked sweet when she finished crying. Yaza then reached out his hand to pull Nea's body sitting on the floor.

"Get out of here. A lot of people bother."

"Ghai how?"

"Derren is already in hand, now come out first yuk. The longer here, the more ignorant we'll be."

Nea according to, her hand pulled Yaza away from the area. Arriving outside Yaza looked back at Nea then asked.

"That was... How many times?" Nea who heard him seemed to want to cry again, Yaza then panicked.

"Okay, sorry, I'm too flabby. Mending come with me yuk now."

Yaza then brought Nea to the front of his favorite motorcycle. Nea who was still lethargic due to her crying action which did take a lot of energy was only able to fall silent and stare blankly ahead.

"Just a minute, I'll call you first. Wait here, don't go anywhere!" Yaza then stepped away some distance away but was still close to Nea. Yaza's voice sounded faintly.

"I have already pinned it!"

"Promise me tomorrow to turn your helmet around."

"He em, promise me."

"So, it won't go away. Yes, I have pinjem!"

Yaza then ran back towards Nea. Yaza then took the helmet from the motorbike next door and gently dressed it to Nea.

"Good." Nea according to then went up in the back seat.

17/12/2018

20.50

The journey is filled with silence until it reaches a place that is quite far from there. Nea then got off the Yaza motor. Not a tongkrongan, not a mall, Yaza took Nea to a hill with the ground wrapped in grass beautifully displayed in his paintings.

Nea looked at Yaza. Yaza who was subconsciously stared at by Nea then returned Nea's gaze with a smile splattered on his face. Yaza's hand grabbed Nea's wrist, then pulled her slowly to walk and took a sitting position on the bench facing the small lake in front of her. The bench was covered by a Tabebuya tree that stripped the horror impression of the place. Instead of feeling afraid, Nea instead felt back to find something missing from him.

"Lo want this place?" yaza asked, Nea shook her head in return.

"I'm sorry you forgot about this place."

Nea's gaze shifted to look at Yaza who was now looking straight at the small lake. In that deserted place, the fall of no one except the two of them. The dim lights of the park in that place add a comfortable impression along the park with small hills decorated with Tabebuya trees on each side.

"Tabebuya?" asked Nea who was trying to remove the awkwardness.

"Lo inget? This is your favorite tree, is it still the same?" ask Yaza.

"Gue not amnesia completely yes Za, please deh. Until now I still like this tree badly." Yaza chuckled softly at Nea's words.

"The tree I'm looking for knows the ins and outs because of you. Thanks, because I design every house there must be a tabebuya tree in the spacious yard."

"Well, can you plant it at home?" ask Nea.

"It could be a dodol. Lo banyan words that can not be entered on an area of 90 meters what?" yaza Protest.

"What Za, I don't understand I swear."

"You know what, anyway? Ngurus this tree no no complicated tau. Because of that I also over time so love this tree."

"Basic plagiarism lo!"

"Where is it." Nea glared at Yaza then both chuckled slowly.

"But seriously Nea. He can grow in a dry place, the main requirement for the flowers to grow is also only sunlight. Crazy isn't it? This seromantic tree can grow on the condition that is not complicated." Both Yaza and Nea's views focused on the flowers on the Tabebuya tree.

"Just like the feeling of my love to you that does not need many conditions to arise the feeling to me." Yaza muttered, his voice barely audible Nea. Nea had turned her head for a moment towards Yaza, wanting to ask for a repetition of his words that only sounded limited to the phrase 'myself' but was undone because he was too lazy to ask.

"Unique things, right? I'm also glad this tree has a lot of benefits." Instead of asking Nea to recite the excess of the romantic tree.

There was a little disappointment in Yaza who actually hoped little for Nea to be able to hear his murmur earlier, but Yaza was foolish to wish that much to Nea who was basically someone who was insensitive to the feelings of others to him. Moreover, Yaza said half a whisper, it was his fault for being less courageous, right? Yaza then smiled dispelling all thoughts of his feelings and looked at Nea. At the very least, Yaza also felt this was an inopportune moment after seeing Ghai in such condition for the 2nd time.

"That's so fucking good! The accuracy is now even like I'm the same fidelity of this tree rather than lo. I swear, this beautiful flower can do a variety of diseases from the original processing is real, wrong can be poison."

"I swear I don't understand anymore, I like it the same tree it turns out," said Nea suddenly.

"Gue is like a philosophy from this tree tau."

"What?" asked Nea who then looked at Yaza.

"Lo was unconscious? Just like the riddle we're breaking now. Lo or I can act as a medicine for Ghai but, a little misstep can Ghai can no longer be with us."

Nea was silenced to hear Yaza's words, the incident immediately crossed Nea's mind. Nea shook her head trying to take her eyes off the figure of Ghai in pain.

"How many times has Ghai been like that?" Yaza then continued his question which had stalled before.

"Either, as much as I see, this is his first time," Nea replied with a sigh.

"Something you'd like to see so much about that?" ask Yaza.

"Somehow, like my soul has gone where exactly Ghai in such a state."

Yaza sighed, either having to be grateful or sad to hear Nea's statement earlier. Yaza simply did not want Nea to return to the time when he had to torture himself by staying in the room for weeks. The move that Ghai took, now Yaza understood the reason.

"Za, I'm gonna ask you. Answer if this is still a realm that can be reached cave, but only if for example this realm is a realm that I have to break," said Nea, Yaza nodded in return.

"Did Ghai die in an accident and I was there as a witness?"

Yaza looked over with wide eyes. The two hazel-colored beads trembled, fear present from within his mind. A moment later Nea nodded.

"I understand."

Yaza was confused, either having to answer or getting back to meddling. Nea then looked straight back at the lake.

"Ne-"

"Za-"

The second speech is cut off when they realize that they are each trying to say something. Nea then smiled.

"Lo deluan, I've mostly talked about it, why?" ask Nea.

"On that-"

Drrtt

Nea's phone vibrated again, indicating a call was trying to get in through her phone. Again the name of Arka with the nickname of the Absurd Man is listed there.

"Bentar Za, gue angkat telpon ini dulu. Sorry ya," ujar Nea, Yaza mengangguk sebagai jawaban.

Ketika menghubungkan panggilan itu dengan Arka, Nea dikejutkan dengan suara Arka yang terdengar heboh dari balik sana. Tak setengah-setengah, bahkan Yaza yang ada di samping Nea juga ikut terkejut mendengar teriakan Arka.

"NEA! YANG BENER AJA ANJR!"

"Apaan sih Ka?! Kaget gue!"

"TEBAK SESUATU ANIR! LO GAK AKAN PERCAYA!"*

"Apaan?" tanya Nea, Yaza yang ada di sampingnya menguping dengan usaha cuma-cuma, karena tanpa perlu mendekatkan telinganya ke hp Nea, Yaza masih bisa mendengar ucapan Arka.

"GHAI ADA DI KOST-AN GUE SEKARANG! DI HADAPAN GUE SAMA DERREN! KE SINI GAK LO SEKARANG?!"

"Hah? Demi apa lo Ka?! Jangan bercanda, gak lucu!"

"Nyalain video call lo! Entah lewat fitur ini mereka berdua bisa keliatan apa kagak di layar hp lo."

Nea menatap Yaza, sama hal-nya dengan Yaza yang menatap Nea. Yaza kemudian beranjak dari bangku taman itu.

"Gue ke kost-an lo sekarang bareng Yaza. Gue kabarin nyokap dulu, gue nginep sana ya!"

"Oke, Fai juga otw sini sambil bawa baju ganti katanya."

"Oke, ketemuan di kost-an lo ya."

"Iya."

"Kalau gitu gue matiin dulu."

"Oke Nea..."

Setelah sambungan terputus Nea menatap Yaza yang tengah menunggu Nea beranjak dari posisi duduknya. Nea kemudian berucap.

"Anter gue ke rumah Arka."

"Gue ikut nginep ya?"

"Urusan itu nanti aja dibahas di kost-an Arka, sekarang otw dulu."

"Oke, ayo caw sekarang."
