"Jeder...jeder...trakkkkk....syerrttttt" a thunderbolt struck a large tree right on the shoulder of the road I was passing.
Once twice the lightning strike was able to make a big tree fall and almost hit the car my father drove, he said, dad immediately slammed the steering wheel to the side of the road but the road conditions were so slippery because of heavy rain made dad lose control of the car he drove, he said, the car drove erratically and continued to break through the road barrier until it finally fell to the edge of the river, fortunately there was no explosion on the car I was riding, he said, my body swayed in the car the pain was no longer felt all over my body, I saw my mother and little brother who was 10 years old was knocked out of the car, he said, all over their bodies were filled with fresh blood strewn across the ground, I could only stare at everything with a blank look, until my vision faded bit by bit and I lost consciousness, she said, before I really close my eyes can still be heard sayup screams of some residents there who helped evacuate my family.
After that I really did not know what happened to me and my family, that night my parents and my little sister and I intended to go to an annual celebration of our family, I thought it would be a nice night and a good memory, before we left even my mom and dad were still joking with me, until the journey of my mother and sister who were exhausted began to fall asleep and only me and father as a driver who was still awake, until when drowsiness began to hit the father suddenly began to panic, he said that the car brakes blonged so he could not lower his speed, rain and lightning started to hit and the tree fell almost to our car, I screamed somehow as loud as anything, everything in the car panicked, even though I kept trying to calm down.
*********************
I don't know how long I was unconscious until when I woke up and blinked my eyes all I saw was the empty, cold roof of the hospital, I tried to move my head and limbs but not enough energy for that, my body still felt weak and sore where, where, suddenly a nurse came in and she looked at me with a shocked face then shouted to call the doctor.
"Doctor..doctor...he is aware...doctor quickly look!!" a nurse shouted as she ran out of the room.
I just stared in confusion and started thinking about my family, when the doctor came up to me and checked my condition the first thing I said was to ask about my family.
"Do..do..doctor....Where are my father and my mother and my little sister?" I asked with a brick because it was still quite weak.
Instead of answering my question, the doctor asked me to take a complete rest and then he just left me, I wanted to find out the whereabouts of my family and how they are doing right now, he said, I kept thinking positively because seeing myself as a survivor of the fatal accident I thought my family would have survived too.
The day went on whether I had been in the hospital for how long until finally today arrived, the day I began to regain my strength and energy, the doctor has allowed you to go home and the hospital didn't even ask for a bill for my work during my hospital stay, at first I felt a little suspicious, how could the hospital not ask for a dime bill for such intensive care for me in a short time, out of curiosity I went to the hospital administration and asked about my payment.
"Excuse me sister, I want to ask about intensive care room administration number 115 in the orchid block, think about how much I have to bear" I asked him carefully, said,
The nurse immediately checked several datasets in her notebook.
"Sorry sister, but all the fees have been paid in full since 6 months ago" said the nurse told her,
"Huh?, how come, I just recovered don't dad pay for it but as long as I'm cared for there's not a single one of my family to visit, where are they, and who pays the hospital fees?" my murmurs were full of confusion and daydreaming in front of the administration desk.
I walked away full of questions that kept popping up inside my head, I was even still wearing hospital clothes because I didn't have anything left.
I went home, because I thought it was my house so I just walked in without knocking on the door first, I looked for my father and mother but the house looked quiet and there was no one in the living room, when I got into the house there was my aunt and uncle who were eating in the kitchen with his daughter who was my age, I immediately approached them and I asked the whereabouts of my family.
"Uncle, what are you doing here?, oh right where are mom and dad and Rival?" my ask is so enthusiastic.
They did not answer me at all and just bowed to throw my face from my gaze, I got more confused and began to approach Serli who was none other than my cousin's sister.
"What is this really about, why didn't my uncle and aunt answer me?, you didn't see me in the hospital either" I added as I waited for Serli's answer,
"I'm sorry but....om and aunty..they've been.." said the broken Serli,
"What?, they've what Serli, quickly say!!" I ended up with such a high tone,
"They died in that accident, and so did your sister"
"Huh?... Haha no...there is no way they died, you lied Serli?, if they died then who paid for my pocket house fees all this time?, uncle, uncle, you lied, auntie please explain to me that they're still alive I beg you" I said, hoping everything was just a lie.
Looking at the uncle and aunt who didn't answer I was getting so out of my mind and my tears just popped out I was sitting limp on the floor and didn't know what to do anymore, Serli just hugged me and kept gently rubbing my back trying to calm me down, I couldn't accept this reality, it was all too sudden and so painful, even I haven't had time to say much to them, I didn't get to see their bodies one last time.
"Where are they buried?, take me there now" I said with a faint eye and a blank stare.
Serli nodded and pushed me out of the house, we went to the TPU not far from my housing complex.
