Second Eye

The End of Lita's Story

We can all just be quiet. No one dared to answer. Fortunately Mr. Salih is not urgent, because it seems to know what we all mean. Although it was only a guess in his mind.

Arriving at the hospital, Mr. Adam slowly led Mr. Salih into the hospital. Because there seems to be a problem with the health of Mr. Salih, who already looks pale when we met at his house earlier.

"Sir, do we need to check on you first?" I followed walking behind them.

"No need. I just wanted to meet with Lita, although maybe for the last time," said Mr. Salih made us look at each other.

"If you're tired, I'm asking for a wheelchair!" bargain again.

"Hehhh..... Alright. I am no longer able to walk. It feels very weak," said Mr. Salih sighing long, while holding the body part that may feel pain, between the chest and stomach from earlier.

"Suster, can the wheelchair borrow anything?" tanyaku pointed to the lineup of wheelchairs that are provided for patients who have just arrived.

"It's okay, Deck. Just take!" said Mr. Adam still holding the arm of Mr. Salih from the side.

"Yes, just take it. It was indeed reserved for patients who were not strong walking," the nurse's friendly response, behind the reception desk.

"Mr sure you'll face it later?" ask me to make sure again, a little give a view that there will be bad news to be faced.

"Yes, I just want to see my child. So I'm calmer too."

I follow his will, according to the nod sign given by Mr. Adam who pushed the wheelchair deeper. We all kept walking, heading towards the back of the room.

Arriving in front of the room that read 'cadaver room', Mr. Salih immediately shed tears.

" How, Sir?" I asked to make sure he was back.

"Yes, I was expecting it" he said without shouting, though there was actually a lump tucked away in his chest.

"We're in?" ask Adam sir.

"She, let's go in!" replied Mr. Salih began to be able to control his emotions.

The door of the room began to open. I saw Lita's figure. He was standing in the corner of the room, staring at his father. With a pale face, and eyeballs that continued to bleed black, melted from its gap.

"sorry,.... Forgive Lita. Sorry for not following my orders. Sorry, because Lita is still trying to meet Lita's best friend, who turns out to be also trapping along with Angela."

"When Lita has been very trusting, even she also said that if she found information about her mother as well, " continued Lita still continues to melt her blood tears.

It was only me, Azzam's sister, and my mother who heard Lita's regret. But it seems that Mr. Salih also felt that his son always wanted to be close to him. Regretting his actions.

" just a sec! I'll get it out of the cooler first" said Mr. Adam, removing the handle from the wheelchair.

"Lita, though,.... I know you don't want this to happen. But fate has made its own plans. We must face the divine destiny. Huhuu....," the cry of Mr. Salih was heard whimpering, until he lowered his head, with a face that continued to be covered with both hands.

Mr. Adam deftly assisted Azzam put Lita's body, on a table that is available in the middle of the room. A stiff and pale blue body indicates that it is time to be buried.

Mr. Salih began to stand up, to approach the body of Lita who was no longer breathing. Although his figure is still visible in the corner of the room, while continuing to cry louder.

"Lita's.... Sorry dad!" said Mr. Salih hugging his daughter's cold body.

A few moments passed, finally Mr. Salih can look calmer again. And agreed Lita's body was taken to her village later.

But when the hospital began to prepare an ambulance, Mr. Salih began to feel intense pain in his chest. He kept moaning and looked helpless.

There's a bad feeling coming from around here.

"Sir.... Strong yes!" I said I was running in a wheelchair that Azzam's sister pushed into the ER room.

A doctor let me and Azzam's brother wait outside. Pak Salih's condition has also been seen starting to be unconscious.

Five minutes... Ten minutes.... Finally the doctor came out of the room.

"Sorry, his life cannot be saved. He has acute acid reflux disease. Plus now the stomach is empty unfilled," said the doctor who was handling.

When the door of the room was opened, Azzam and I went inside. Seen there was Lita, who already seemed to shine and smile looking at us both. Mr. Salih had been taken by him, walking towards a light.

" Thank you.." said Mr. Salih waving his hand before disappearing into the blinding light.

"Innalillahi wa innaillaihi roji'un" I said along with Azzam.

****

One month has passed. But the story of pain about the Lita family is still remembered today. The end of the case was also clearly told by Ronald.

Angela is the son of a senior officer in her area, until she can give bribes to people who are handling cases of Lita's disappearance. But I'm glad Ronald can take care of everything.

Any police officer who receives a bribe has received the appropriate punishment. Angela's father also became affected until he had to be removed from the position he had painstakingly pioneered. While Angela herself, now still through legal process according to her age.

Lita's best friend, she's lost her mind. Get into a mental hospital. Feeling guilty for the death of a friend he never suspected.

He didn't think his request could harm his best friend. He only asks Lita to the park, because of the threat from Angela who will divulge her secret. About the theft of drugs that had been done by him because he was forced to, in order to cure his sister. But it turned out to be fatal until his best friend lost his life.

I can only pray, hopefully Lita and Pak Salih are calmer. No more pain now. And no need to think about goodbye.

"Aishis.... What the hell else think? Still haven't moved-on from Lita's case?" yumna asked surprised me as I waited for her in the campus garden.

"Astaghfirullah's..... Yumna!" I was surprised by him.

"Let's go home. Later tonight so come to Rey's cafe no?" bring Yumna.

"Yes be!"

I stood up. Heading to the parking lot, take a motorcycle that has been bought by the mother the other day.

Arriving at the parking lot, there was something strange we encountered.

"Aishis... That's why there's a poci keep following Melati huh?" show Yumna to stop me from walking.

"Eh, is that why the keys look like her mother? Isn't her mother still alive?" many wonder.

"Then anyway? I know little about his family. You're the same class as him, should know if there's any info about his family."

"Squeaky. When was the day I met Melati, was piggybacking on her mother. And look healthy. But who?" point me still confused made.

"We're going there!"

Yumna pulled my shirt. Without waiting for my answer.
