Peer Idealism

Adventurer (II)

Two Weeks Earlier

In search of Edy, Rara had previously come to the boarding house where Edy lived. Only, there, no new information Rara got. The things that Ilham , his boarding friend Edy, told me were the same things that Edy's other friends told him. It's all about books, mountains, social and stuff. All still does not refer to the news and where Edy is.

Rara eventually returns to Edy's contract. I don't know what, there's only something strong in Rara, who pushes her back to come there.

Rara's coming. Only, that afternoon Kosan Edy looked empty. The house was only inhabited by two people, namely Edy and Ilham. Because Rara thought, inspiration might be in college, then Rara decided to wait.

Kosan Edy is in one of the areas of Gedebage Bandung, a place for the size of student housing, there is less interest.

Rara sat and waited on the bench of the courtyard. The page is not too wide, enough to fit one car and several motorcycles. The side boundary of the courtyard is not walled, only fenced cement half a meter high on the right and left. Although there is a bench, Edy used to sit and drink coffee while gigingan in the afternoon above.

Next to the side fence there is a small road leading to Sawah. While in front, the same cement fence runs across from the right and left and forms an open gate. There was one large rambutan tree that waded through the entire courtyard nearby. Outside the gate, there was a small sewer that flowed smoothly with very clear water. So clear, the fish, sand, and gravel at the base can be seen clearly by anyone's eyes. There was a large stone inside the gutter, from the shape and the way it was laid, it was seen that someone had deliberately placed it there, either to reduce the rate of water flowing into the rice fields behind or to simply create collisions and melahirlan poetic splatter sound. 'It's definitely Edy' thought Rara knew.

An hour passed. After Rara goes around killing wait time by recording Edy's page life in her head, Ilham still doesn't come. Rara decided to continue waiting while sitting back and reading a book, precisely reading the notes of Edy Blog.

Rara opened the Edy notes.

Bicara Nusantara is a village talk. The wet, but no one drowned, no one drowned.

Bright, but not blind. The hot one, but it doesn't roast you without a choice. Silent, but not gripping. That may be slippery, but it doesn't make you tyrosopedic.

Which is deserted, but which place is there other than the village? The place that under all circumstances or whatever happens to you, your faith is still the same, you are never alone.

Rara breathed deeply in the air that afternoon after she read Edy's notes. The wind blows peacefully, the dancing leaves fall by him, the birds chase, the sound of running water and all the atmosphere there really makes Rara feel comfortable. Until finally Rara fell asleep there, on the bench of Edy's boarding yard.

The sound of a key playing sounded from inside the house. Before long the door opened. Inspiration came out while stretching and pulling the strings of his body. Inspiration is not in college today apparently, since he was in the boarding house. She slept.

Not fully aware of waking up, he was shocked and realized immediately saw Rara sleeping on the bench of his yard.

"Subhanallah" Inspiration gulped deeply.

with a certain specificity, he stared at the peace of the body of a beautiful sleeping woman before him.

"Whoever, don't wake me from this dream" he said.

The sound of a motor passing by and the shadow of a person in front of her, made Rara wake up from her sleep. He was confused, feeling bad and ashamed.

"Tehh Rara's?" ilham said shortly after Rara revealed her hair. "Oah" Inspiration realized that the woman was Rara.

"Sorry, Kang Ilham. Ga accidentally overslept" Rara said as she reorganized herself and tidied up some of Edy's notes that had slipped from her hands while Rara was asleep.

"When is that there?" ask Inspiration

"Not too long, Kang. The taste is good, go straight to sleep". Rara tried to comfort Ilham and herself.

"Kabogohna Geulis, Jang" said one neighbor who passed by, "Pity, from this afternoon wait there" he said again.

"Mang Sanes. Ieu mah kabogohna Kang Edy" Ilham clarified.

"From yesterday afternoon, Rara Tea? Oh allah. Why not sleep" he said again, this time to Rara.

"I think Kang Ilhamna Lectures" replied Rara.

Ilham invited Rara in, made her coffee, and listened to Rara's explanation of her arrival. Explained by Rara, that his arrival here is to ask permission Ilham. Rara wanted to go in and look around Edy's room. Think Rara, maybe there are important things that he can finally make information to find Edy.

The room was something private, and this was Edy's room, which Inspiration had been alone all this time before entering Edy's room, he had to knock on the door and wait for a while to open first. Inspiration is never free to go in and out of Edy's room.

"Edy is the most alone. He does not want to be disturbed and accompanied in the room" explained Ilham. "But that doesn't mean Edy's arrogant. He's a gookil, we joke around, we chat, we keep sharing, all the interactions are going on between us everywhere, except in Edy's room.

Last year, ever. When I got drunk again, I went into his room. What happened, I did not greet him two days and two nights in a row" explained Ilham.

"Kang, all this for Edy's sake, Kang" Rara pleaded. "I've been looking for info on Edy everywhere. In the sanggar, in the blog, in the Akangnya, it was also yesterday-yesterday, in the coffee shop, everywhere. None of the results show where Edy is now. One last place I'm sure will pay off is this stay. Edy's Room". Said Rara.

"Again, such as I allow the same can not Tehh, the key he holds" Ilham refused.

"Adzan tehh, I pray for a while" Inspiration excuse me to go back.

15 Minutes passed.

Brak!

The sound of impact or a large object falling down made Rara surprised. Spontaneous Rara approached the origin of the sound. Inside he saw Ilham standing with breath.

"Later in charge" said Ilham, pointing to the room with the door he had broken. Edy's Room.

Inspiration really thought of Edy after the prayer. His eyes glazed over remembering his best friend. Edy very often helps Inspiration. He lives here because of Edy. Inspiration is not asked for any dues. Edy brought him here when Ilham's finances were destroyed due to losing gambling and his cost money was deposited to the city at that time. "When I really felt alone, Edy came" Ilham recalled.

Inspiration felt ashamed of himself who did nothing to find Edy. He thought, This is his only chance to return bravely, besides gambling.

Edy's Room

Rara stepped into Edy's room. The lights haven't been turned on. Merely, the twilight light that dashed in from the vents, had quite managed to create the feel that Rara called, very Edy.

The more he stepped forward, the distinctive aroma of Edy increasingly felt to embrace Rara at that time. After Ilham managed to remember the location of the switch hidden behind the door, the lights were turned on.

Rara closed her eyes instantly as the light suddenly lit up making her shocked when she saw the picture on the wall, precisely the image on the large poster in front of her. When he opened his eyes again, he knew it was a picture of a flying bird. Below it are the words ; None but our self can free our mind. - Bob Marley.

Rara recorded the contents of Edy's room first, finding a picture of a bird in front of Edy's study table. On the table was a computer with a screen attached to Edy's graphic deadline-deadline. Near the keyboard, Edy's last cup was still there, the dregs bleached. On the table, dozens of books are arranged, books with names such as Soe Hok Gie, Pramoedya, Tereliye, Socrates, chairil anwar, and so on, Sokarno and others like him are the most leading in the line of books.

"Tehh Rara" Ilham broke Rara's focus.

Inspiration stands holding a painting. In the look of Rara's face that looked at him, then he looked at the painting in his hand, he threw his gaze again to Rara, then he saw the painting in his hand.

"Tehh Ra-ra?"the word Ilham is broken.

"meaning?" rara was confused.

Inspiration takes a step. His head tilted looking once again at Rara's face with a very high focus.

"Fix" said Ilham again. "Okay, the mango Teh Rara researched and searched for information about Edy here. I don't want to stay here too long. It's not good for Edy if I'm in her room, with Ranara."

Rara still doesn't understand. Then Ilham went out of the room after first putting the painting in his hand against the wall.

Rara was curious about what Ilham had just put on the wall. Rara walked over to the painting. The closer he got to feeling familiar with something, the more his heart beat.

"Me?" rara said as she looked at the painting Edy had made.

He turned his head quickly closer to the sheets of paper stuck on the wall, the contents were poems and quotations. Rara moves to Edy's desk and finds a notebook. Rara opened it, only, she had not had time to read a word in there, she felt inappropriate. A diary is like a best friend that can keep a person's whole secret. Rara does not want to destroy Edy's friendship with her diary.he paused his intentions and put the notebook back.

He limps and sits against the wall. He dropped his body, his hand spontaneously grabbed a pillow nearby. Hugged her. Rara closed her eyes. He was crying in there.

'Edy' ogre.

Edy, the principal man whom people see as haunted, turns out to be a patient, deep, and poetic observer.

In his silent side, Edy had feelings for someone. The feelings that he had longed for without the courage to express.is a canvas sheet, drawing poems, and so many quotes words, anything that Edy chose to convey his feelings. All were revealed on the walls of his room.

finding poetry and words, one could have guessed wrong. Only in the end, could not not not, because the woman in the canvas was so clearly drawn. Was him. Rara Novitri's.

'How is it possible?' thought Rara when she first found her face and herself, well shaped image was a word on the wall of Edy's room.

From the paintings, poems, and works of Edy in his room, anyone who goes there must think that Rara is Edy's Beloved. Therefore, Inspiration gave full confidence to Rara.

the universe seems to have really prepared everything even though there is no direct information that mentions the existence of Edy. Only, there, something else was revealed. Something that previously only God, Edy, and the rest of his room knew.

After Rara's departure from Edy's contract, she felt very guilty and slumped alone.he did not know who to share all his guilt with. Until finally he met Keing in the campus park. Initially Piss ignored him, but eventually Pissed too.

After the recovery of the friendship between Piss and Rara. Rara poured her heart out to Piss at The Corner, Edy's favorite store. Since the meeting at The Corner, Piss often stay mengawani Rara at his home. From there Rara slowly told me everything, everything, everything she went through in Edy's search for Piss.

Pissing who let Rara go to Mount Gede Pangrango following Edy, felt that everything he did was purely because Piss loved his pair of sabahat, Edy and Rara.
