Sect: A Community of No Expression Masks

Crazy trip on the land of Borneo

I opened my eyes slowly and saw a still unfamiliar ceiling in my view.

“Finally you wake up too, Dav.”

I turned to the left and saw Riska smiling while holding my arm.

“I where, Ris?”

“We are in Dav hospital,” Riska replied with a smile.

“Hospital?”

I was confused and tried to recall what had really happened, but the more I remembered it, the more it hurt.

“Low if you don't remember .. you were unconscious for three days,” said Riska.

I fell silent and digested what Riska had just said, I began to look around and my eyes were fixed on my stomach wrapped in bandages. I grabbed it slowly, and suddenly Riska's hand opened it, which was almost to my stomach.

“Do not touch first, your wound is still not fully healed!” said Riska.

I only realized after Riska said the wound, then the shadow of Novi and Satria just crossed my mind.

“Novi and Satria where?” my many.

“They've calmed down in heaven, Dav.”

Somehow my tears started to drip, and slowly I remembered everything. I held my head, and wished I didn't remember everything. All the sweet memories when we were still gathering together started popping up in my head and making this chest tightness.

“Pa—Paula .. where is Paula?” ask me while crying.

“She was buried yesterday ..” replied Riska shrivelled.

My cry was getting louder and this chest was getting congested hearing Paula was buried.

“At least I can take him to his last stop,” I said while banging on the mattress.

“Sssssstttt .. quiet baby, your prayers are more important to him than your cries.”

I also closed my eyes with my left arm and my right arm had not been separated from Riska's grasp since.

“Achong ... what happened to Achong?” ask me while peeking out from my left arm.

“He is dead in your hands, and that expressionless community from yesterday was officially dissolved.”

“Ki—we succeeded, Ris?” I wash my tears.

Riska nodded her head and smiled at me, then she said, “This is all thanks to our friends too right, Dav?”

My crying began to stop and began to be replaced by a smile, regret was still there and would not just disappear, but thanks to them all I could get this far.

“This victory belongs to Satria, Novi, Regina, Suna, and Paula right, Dav?” ask Riska.

I nodded my head and let go of Riska's hand. I stroked Riska's head and said, “Fortunately you are still safe, Ris.”

Riska brushed off my hand and straightened her hair.

“I want to make a promise to you!” firmly Riska.

“What promise?” many confused.

“Promise, after this problem is over you want to marry me!” resolute Riska whose eyes had grown and looked at me with a stern face.

I also scratched my head with a smile.

“I think you have forgotten my promise,” I replied with a cry.

Riska pinched both of my cheeks without thinking about my condition, her face looking very upset this time.

I don't know why she's getting so sweet when she's on rent, and I just realized. This week I just saw her sad, scared, and crying.

“Oh yes Dav, I forgot .. news about the sect is being crowded in the conversation loh,” said Riska while releasing her pinch.

“Means?” I was confused while rubbing my cheeks.

“All kinds of media covered the news, even national TV also discussed about the sect,” Riska explained.

“Good dong .. then the community can know, if there is a deviant activity in this country!”

“Iya I know ... but that's not the case!” snapped Riska, “the problem is that the national TV is waiting for you to wake up for an interview.”

“I refuse!” my firmness.

“That's the problem now .. You should be able to escape from the target of journalists!” reply Riska while laughing.

“Tell it all to the public, just like I told my best friend's wounds,”.

“But Dav .. there is one you cannot refuse,” Riska said in a serious tone.

“What is it?”

“President invited us to lunch at the palace, as a form of thanks for revealing the case,” Riska replied with a smile.

I smiled and nodded my head as I said, “Then I want to.”

Riska also laughed and had forgotten my promise that was charged just now, then she also told me the incident after I fell.

He said that all members of the sect had been arrested without rest, then the medical team took Paula to the hospital for further treatment. But Naas, Paula was only able to survive in her coma condition for one day.

“Then Achong?” manya curious.

“There's something weird with him, Dav!” said Riska, “before he died on the spot, he had asked for help and called your name.”

I also thought the same as Riska thought, that the one who asked for help was Achong who was not affected by the demon. What power, I couldn't help him because I had fallen before he asked for help.

Riska continued to tell me, and this time she told me that the bodies of Novi and Satria had been sent to Jakarta two days ago before Paula died. I also feel calm because the bodies of my friends have been returned to their respective families.

But a new regret came, because I couldn't go to my best friend's funeral.

“I have packed our goods that are in home stay and brought them here,” said Riska.

“Ehmm .. smart kid,” ledekku.

“Do not taunt me, before you keep your promise, Dav!” snapped Risk.

I also laughed when I saw Riska who was upset. My promise will never change to make Riska my wife, only suddenly I was happy when I mocked her and upset her. Her sweet face was even sweeter when she was upset, and I wanted to see it continue instead of seeing her cry again.

“You have booked a return ticket yet?” my many.

Riska shook her head and replied, “Not yet did I order Dav, did I not know that you would come to your senses so soon.”

“Alright ... later after Jakarta take me to meet your papa and mama,” said.

“For what, Dav?”

“To ask permission to propose his son,” I replied with a smile.

Riska began to smile widely and clasped my hand.

It's all over, the ghakar journey in the land of Borneo. Leaving scars on this stomach and also on this heart, the wounds of the heart because my best friends have died one by one. It felt like just yesterday we were getting together, joking around with laughter and mocking each other. Now it leaves only a quiet and also a memory, a memory of beautiful things when with them, my best friend.
