Losing Friends

The news I heard from Sister Eva also shook, I know what Netta felt at that time.

Netta didn't tell me about Aldo's accident, maybe she thought I'd be jealous again.

Though I knew that Netta was very sad, I knew that she was holding back the crying when I called.

Netta had been friends with Aldo from them sitting on the bench of Junior High School, sitting on the same bench, always competing to be champions, continuing to college, even working in the same hospital. When I asked him;

“Aldo and his brother were like savior angels on my career trip Bang,” Netta said one night.

“What do they do until you praise them sky-high?”

Netta took a deep breath.

“From me he has helped me a lot, but there is one thing I can't forget .. Aldo stole his mama's money so I can join the game with him outside the area.

There's a lot more help, he's my true friend .... Bang, can you not be jealous of him?” Ask Netta to me that night.

“Can't Ta, while you're still close to her I'll always be jealous.”

“Then how do I not get jealous anymore?”

“She's gone away from you, otherwise she's married, I promise if both of them happen I won't be jealous if you guys ever meet again,” I replied.

“How far away, he will work here and he is in school again at this time, here too."

“There's a way for him to stay away from you and I'm not jealous anymore.”

“What?” ask Netta again

“Mati,” Cletukku and walk to the kitchen, but I just want to talk, not really.

Netta followed and hit me on the back angrily, as I cursed her best friend to die.

“Alright this way let me not be jealous, we make an agreement.”

”What?”

“If you meet and walk with Aldo without me, you will sleep outside with milon,”.

“Who is afraid,” reply Netta with confidence.

That's why this ridiculous agreement was made.

Every time Netta told me who Aldo was for her my blood was always boiling the flames of jealousy, that's why I created that ridiculous agreement.

A few weeks after I made the agreement, Netta took me for a walk to Bogor with Aldo and his future wife, after many stories with the white man, I finally chose to trust him.

From that moment on I was no longer jealous of Aldo because he already had a future wife.

“What is this? Why is it like this?” I muttered so in shock after seeing her social media in the flood of condolences.

I panicked even more when Netta's number could not be reached, I had intended to catch up with Netta that night as well.

“Mang, no need, we'll just wait here. How about we just treat, their papi”lus bans me from following Netta to Bali.

“Ya Bang, I'm afraid later eda come brother go so do not meet,” said Arnita.

“Have not panicked, he will be fine,” said papi patting my shoulder.

I said, I waited for Netta and we planned to go to the funeral home in the hospital. That one night I was able to sleep, it meant that I had not slept for two consecutive days.

“You go to Deck, why not pick up my phone,” I said desperately.

                                *

When morning came, we went to the hospital.

My knees trembled when I saw the young man lying stiff inside the wooden crate wrapped in a white suit, his face covered with wounds.

So many mourners with the typical doctor uniform because Aldo's two older sisters are also doctors, one of whom works in the same hospital as Netta and Aldo.

The cries of his two older sisters were heartbreaking, even his first brother fainted several times looking at their lifeless youngest sister.

“To, bohado dokkonon nami tu oma? hape nungga in tuhor kabaya nattoari naeng tu party mon itooo ..”

(Ito .. what we will say to mama, when it has been bought kebaya for your wedding party ito, has been sewn in danger) said her sister crying hysterically.

Mami who was standing at the side was crying sobbing at the cry of Brother Aldo, after seeing older sister Aldo, it turns out that mami also know their family.

“Oh, yes my goodness, her mother was a teacher when she was in High School,” said mami.

‘I'm sorry Bro, if a lot of my words hurt your heart then’.

“Taberreng time nungga ginjang ari.  Adong dope sipaima on ta, asa ta tuk barangna asa putu huta bakkena on.”

(We'll see that time has begun. There's still something we're waiting for, let's cover the coffin because we're going to deliver the body to the village)

“Paima jo oppung paimahon donganna, tokkin ro name, dalan.”

(Wait for the oppung first, wait for his friend soon he comes already on the road) persuaded older sister Aldo.

“Isn't that his future wife? Who are they waiting for?” Ask Sister Eva.

“Anggo holan dongan do Da, tamiang ma is installed, unang palelengku”

(If only friends through prayer, let not over time) said the Oppung again

“Sabarlah oppung ... That's it coming!”

“That's Eda Netta ...,”thes Arnita our eyes are all on her.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the figure he was waiting for, he came from the door, Netta came with the other three doctors, Netta walked slowly with a trembling body, as if he could not believe what he saw at that moment, he did not make a sound but his shoulders trembled with tears flooding his tired face, even the clothes he was wearing were still operating uniforms. Netta was picked up by helicopter, because dr. Dilla's a soldier.

We never expected that the friend we were waiting for was Netta.

‘So close to their friendship until all the people of his family willingly wait for him’.

“NETTAAAA!” Shouted the two older sisters Aldo stood hugging Netta's body which was still standing still, his eyes staring at the figure of his best friend who had been stretched stiff.

“Nungga lao be ibadana Ta, nungga lao be si Aldo .. boha name on Ta!”

(Have gone he Ta, has gone him ..how is this!) Shouted Aldo's older sister hugging Netta.

Netta was still speechless, then she approached looking at Aldo's face, not long after which her tears broke.

“Hai. Wake up! I have finished your exam, you succeeded, you will become a specialist like your dream, you succeeded, wake up friend,” Netta said in a voice that shook sadly.

“See Do, as usual you got the best value again.” Netta took out her paper from her pocket tucking it in Aldo's hand.

“Congratulations on your success my best friend, you are always the best, I always lose to you, you succeed. Please wake up, so we can compete again” said Netta rubbed Aldo's hand.

Her brother's cry grew louder, they all hugged Netta.

It turned out that day, Aldo was supposed to be going to Bali to take his final practice test exam, before earning his new degree, before leaving for his accident,  Netta decided to finish the final exam for her best friend so she left for Bali.
