SPIRIT AND DEATH

DISCOVERING

Father and Mr. Antok walked quickly following my nimble footsteps. When I arrived at the room, I pointed to my bed. "I'm sure Tania was there Dad .... "

"Where ....? " ask Dad while staring at the wall of my room. It seems, the trauma of Sister Isabela's events still looms over Dad and Dad thinks, Tania was shot in my room. While Mr. Antok was just silent, it seemed like Iya knew what Iya soon witnessed.

"Not yeah, but there .."." I said while pointing the index finger of my right hand towards the bed.

You don't seem to believe what I'm saying. Father took a few steps back while shaking his head. Daddy's skinny old body looked irregularly trembling.

I know this is impossible. But then again, Dad called the police station and asked them for help. About 60 minutes passed, our house became crowded with the presence of several uniformed police officers and several photographers.

"Good morning sir .. "greet one of the policemen whose face is no stranger to me.

"Pagi ... " My father said.

"We wait for the commander for a moment. He's on his way " said the policeman without further ado.

"Good."

After waiting for about 20 minutes, the commander of the army arrived and once again. "I have a daughter your age. I don't know what would happen to her if she were you Sarah. You're a strong boy "he said, holding my head as usual.

"There ..." I said as I walked to my room.

The police nodded their heads and started to work. They cut the ends of my bed. My eyes did not escape from that bed. As they found and lifted the rectangular box clad in black plastic, Father immediately approached me and held my body tightly.

"Dad ... This time, it looks like I'm not strong anymore. " I said with a voice and a trembling body.

This time all eyes were on me. I, who had no sense anymore, looked back at the people in my room one by one. I'm like a dazed person right now and I don't think I know the difference between a dream and a reality, it's almost the same for me.

Satisfied with everything, I looked back at the box. "Tania .. Is my Tania there? " my question leads to the commander standing right on the side of the box.

"We will take him from here and check him out" said the commander of the force as if he would not allow me to see what was happening inside the box.

"But I want to see it ...! "

"I've only seen him all along. I never touched her. Please, for the last time .. Let this finger of my hand touch my brother's fingers. I beg ... " said me on my knees.

With heavy heart and heavy swallowing. The commander allowed me to go to the hospital. While dad, just speechless not speaking one bit.

I walked with a dragging step. It feels like my chest is heavy and tight. Mr. Antok tried to get hold of me but I refused. I want to show everyone that I am very strong and able to see the bitter reality that will soon be open.

We arrived at the hospital and headed straight for the morgue. On a brown plastic bed. The box began to open. I can't imagine what it is, which I know .. I must see it for my heart to be satisfied.

A forensics expert and a hospital attendant began slashing each end of the small cardboard box. With a heavy heart while looking at me, they opened the box slowly.

It's like standing in the north cover without clothes. My whole body shook violently but I kept looking at the contents of the box. While many others who shed tears saw the pile of spine that had separated from the joint.

"Mutilation victims.

When I heard these words, I realized what I was seeing. Suddenly my tears came. With trembling hands, I touched the skull of the head which still had a few strands of Tania's hair. I lifted and stroked her hair.

Right now I'm looking at Tania's face full of smiles and laughter even though she's hurt. "Tania .. where will I get a brother like you sister? " my words provoked the cries of everyone around me. This is the first time I've called Tania a sister.

"Sarah .. is enough! Put the nak ....! " said the father with his unstoppable tears.

Dad pulled my stomach so I could retreat backwards but at the same time, I pulled Tania's fingers and grabbed her. I re-imagine this finger pinning my hand wherever it goes. Why does all this have to happen in my life? With a full heart, I shouted calling Tania's name.

"Vonoraaaaaaaa .... "

Seriate....
