THE CONQUEROR (One Body of Two Souls)
FORTY-ONE
Evening has arrived....
After having dinner together with both of Ghea's parents, the three of them went straight into the room back. It seemed like Ghea was already impatient to hear Seruni's story. Yes, this afternoon their time was spent talking to Ghea's mother in the back garden.
Apparently her mother Ghea also missed the times like before, which was when friends of her son enlivened the atmosphere of her quiet home. Her mother Ghea asked them to visit her house often.
Like other girls when they are gathering, snacks are never left behind. Just look now the shape of Ghea's room is like a broken ship. Sleeping clothes were everywhere. Since then, Seruni and Faya have been busy dismantling Ghea's closet just to choose the clothes that will be worn by them tonight.
A set of long pajamas doesn't suit them, they just throw. Take another baby doll doesn't fit to throw anymore. Take another nightgown, not fit to throw again and again. And so on until they find what they're looking for. It was a set of their favorite short pajamas. It's really amazing those two. It seems like the two of them forgot that they were currently visiting people's houses. Let it be, who has a home also does not care about what they do. There's already a servant aunt who'll tidy it up tomorrow.
"Now tell me, don't put off again, I'm curious." Todong Ghea as the three of them were already sitting sweetly on the bed with one jar of snacks each in their hands.
And Seruni finally recounted all the events he experienced from the time he drowned in Sendang Kaputren to the days he passed after the incident without anyone being covered in the slightest. Tears filled her every word. So did Ghea and Faya who could not hold back her tears. Though Faya has known Seruni's life all this time. But still he could not hold back his tears remembering all that.
Ghea did not expect that his best friend was having a difficult day. He regretted not believing his best friend's words when explaining the incident between Seruni and Alfa.
"So this is what the nickname college chicken meant by your friend?"
Seruni nodded."Yes, Ghe, but I didn't realize that I was lying...."
"He should thank you for saving him from that br3n9$3k man." Ghea hugged her best friend. Faya did not want to miss, he also scattered himself. "I'm sorry, sorry for not believing your words...."
"Sorry, again sorry!" Ghea tightened her embrace. "Let's find Alpha together if only Alpha can stop all this." Ghea broke her embrace. "Rightly said Mbah Suro, he who started then he too must end it." Ghea.
"But what I'm confused about, what exactly is Alfa doing there? Aren't we just playing in the water and doing nothing?" Faya's words made them think, and they both wondered. "Is it because the Alpha is just below the waterfall?" Faya continued to make the three of them look at each other and then shook their heads together because they did not know what really happened.
"Not thinking about that one. Better now we focus on finding Alpha to bring to Mbah Suro." Said Ghea who was taken by Seruni and Faya.
They finally ended the discussion about all the peculiarities and replaced it with another topic. Here their intention is to have fun not to be sad. Forget for a moment the burden.
While chatting ngalor ngidul, do not forget Ghea play their favorite Drakor first to reminisce together. Remembering the times when still wearing a white-gray uniform.
