Shortly thereafter...
“Kak.., I'm done!”
“oh, already yes?” answer the rabka who was sitting on the terrace reading the weekly magazine.
“what's up, sister?”
“Well, come with me! It's your birthday, we're going for a walk!” rabka replied excitedly.
“WHAT?My Birthday Day? When's? Now?” arna could not believe it.
“lho? Forgot yes…?? Today is November 7th Arnawaaa.....!!!” Said Rabka.
“Oh...iya yes!” arna just remembered.
“waduh, totally forgot!”
“iya..., Sorry.." said Arna with a grinning smile.
"But...., don't take a walk huh sak..” said Ana with a reluctant face.
For some reason since this morning he felt something was trying to get him out.
Rabka just smiled lightly.
“Come already..”.
“eh...kak..iya,iya!!!” arna said.
From the beginning of leaving the empty house on the way, Rabka did not release Arna's hand at all, nor did he arrive at his destination.without explanation, even before Arna had seen where he is now. Rabka had turned her body and closed Arna's eyes with a long piece of cloth.
"now, five steps forward! right... right..right bit..! stop that!" Commander Rabka gave me a warning.
"what the hell, sister..? we're not in.." Arna intended to protest but did not so because the cloth ties in her eyes were opened.
“Well, Arna…! Welcome to the new Medianpolis City Traditional Market...!!!!” rabka is like a tour guide.
“wah.!!!” Arna's protest changed direction immediately into admiration.
Large and sturdy arch inscribe “Tempo Doeloe” Market stands in front of them. That market looks much nicer than usual, so people will be more happy to shop there.
Now, the Market has been renovated and inaugurated to be the only cultural means in the city. The appearance is different, as if deliberately made in such a way, to suit the likes of the city community, now the market has three levels, the first level for vegetable or fruit traders, the market has three levels, level two for meat and level three for clothing and other textile materials. Around the market there are many small stalls that provide a variety of food. The typical things that make the traditional market look more special, especially today there are a variety of night market games lined around the market to celebrate the opening of this market. I never took them to a traditional market. But once he looked at her, amazed.
“hebat?” Rabka's question spread Arna's admiration.
“very!!” answer Arna.
“Well, let's go in. There is a cool exhibition!! ” invite Rabka.
All of Arna's admiration for the market was suddenly lost. The sight in his eyes about this market changed drastically. I don't know why the market was chaotic in his eyes. He also refused to enter.
“I guess, we...no need..entrance! From here alone I can already see that new market!” deny Arna looking for an excuse.
“Ah..., come!!” rabka said relax.
He immediately dragged Arna into the crowd. They walked slowly towards one of the games, which was a three-dimensional shooting game. After that they continued to move to other rides.
“already yes Kak..” said Arna as soon as they got off the rides bianglala.
“Let's go..., when you don't want to taste snacks here?” rebuttal Rabka.
“Huft..., alright!” Arna surrender.
although actually snacks there are not much different from those sold in city parks or malls.
“Wait here yes..” Rabka said as she passed away.
But his steps stopped seeing his sister's visibly compassionate face looking at him. He giggled and said to Arna, whose distance is still not too far away.
“Arna.., Arna. Wh why? afraid kidnapped? Just chill! See it” Rabka said as he pointed to the police who are keeping order of the event on their right side.
“the policemen will always be vigilant in responding to anything suspicious” he continued.
Arna looked at Rabka with a strange look and said
“was I afraid of being kidnapped? Why would I play outside if I'm afraid of being kidnapped?!” sangkal Arna's.
“hahaha…!!! So don't dong!” sahut Rabka's.
Arna immediately pouted.
“already, already! I go first... later I will run out” Rabka said as she passed to the crowd.
Soon, Rabka came with two ice creams in his hand. One flavored chocolate-studded vanilla on top and one flavored melon with melted caramel cream. Rabka handed her the melon ice cream and took her to sit in the bottom seat of a tent.
But instead of eating slowly as people usually do when eating together, not even five minutes of them sitting Rabka ice cream has run out. There is no compromise with ice cream. So, Arna just laughed a little at the attitude of her brother who really enjoyed the day.A very different from her, somehow there was something strange about her feelings.
Among the crowd at the front door of the market, there was a woman who was walking dumbstruck, her steps seeming to be a bit dragged. He stopped right in front of the gate and suddenly fell to the ground just like that. The two children looked at him and reacted quickly jumping off the seat. Rabka ran to help the woman. But Arna's movement was only limited and was fixated on the ground that he poked.
“Arna, wait here I will be back soon!” rabka said as he walked backwards and turned back to run towards the woman.
There was something implied in Arna's mind at that time, he glimpsed towards where the police had been. But there were no police there. He wanted to pursue Rabka and forbid her from approaching the woman. He shook his head quickly and ran hard to catch up with Rabka.Apparently, the reaction of the people when the woman fell and now is very different. It seemed like no one was watching, now that place had come was already a crowd.
“Kak..., Don't Go There!!! Wait!!” his yell.
The figure of Rabka who came to the first aid is not seen anymore. Just a few steps were taken, a blinding blue light appeared in the place where the woman had been rolled. Accompanied by a very strong hot wind. The wind felt burning the skin until it penetrated into his flesh. All things are blown to all directions. Although he was pushed back but he continued forward while closing his eyes from the dust.
"EXPLOSION!" Strangely, he heard his own voice that cried loudly in his own ears so that the air seemed to go inside and make him hear nothing.
Only a few seconds later, there was a massive explosion, all who were there were thrown into all directions. The ground shook violently making him fall down,
"KA...K...!!" He screamed loudly.
instantly Arna was drowned in the roar of an incredible explosion. Before his body fell to the ground due to the tremors, he bounced a few meters like a whirlwind, and slammed into the ground due to the considerable force of the explosion.
His whole body was in great pain and agony, even after being struck by excruciating pain he could feel nothing more.His hearing returned, he said, but he still heard the sound of strong wind and his ears felt full of hot air plus the sound of a noisy hum that made nausea, out of nowhere came. All the visitors of the celebration were in an uproar, the rush of panic steps was visible right in plain sight.
"K.a.ka.k.." call Arna however, her voice is only a whisper.
His sight was getting darker but he was still able to record the events after the explosion. People were running in no direction, the entrance to the market was filled with dust, fire and stuff scattered and none of them were still intact there, he could not think anything now.Suddenly the wailing sound of crying and the clattering of feet around him stopped.
He woke up in a white painted room and immediately jumped from a sleeping position to sit upright.
But it turned out that his body did not respond and he remained helplessly supine.
“I live,” her inner.
He watches himself in the reflection of the glass. His head was wrapped in a white cloth that was made like a headband. His hands even his whole body felt pain.
"hot, I'm on fire..!" He thought while his hands were not wrapped in bandages, trying to feel the skin.
He heard the sound of the feet of several people who sounded rushed from outside the room. But before he could hear it clearly, a loud bang burst into him. The door opened, Mother Gio and Gio's parents also followed from behind. Also, a woman whom she knows for sure who she is smiles knowing she has woken up, even though she does not understand what she is doing and can only look at everyone's confusion. The sound of the door squealing expelled the buzz in his ears. Mom approached and hugged him tightly.
“Arna...” call mom.
“Ibu” replied he wanted to cry.
But, he remembered something. The moment of the explosion, the fallen woman and Rabka.
"Sister!" his inner.
“where is Brother Rabka?” tanyanya panic.
But Mother did not answer, she just held her hand and looked blankly. After he noticed again, there was something different from Mother besides her increasingly worried face, namely, her eyes were swollen.
"Who's mom crying for?" He thought, and the pain returned.
“Obviously Mom was crying, but why? Is my memory of the explosion? Doesn't that mean Brother Rabka has vanished with the explosion? In other words is not Brother Rabka already..” Thought again.
But he quickly failed his mind.
“No...impossible!!!!” again, though still in the mind.
“Where is Brother Rabka?” once again his heart was very panicked and worried that his memory was right.
Mom was silent and replied:
“already..., today is a hard day for all of us Arna”
Mother's answer is not the answer at all. He knew nothing of Rabka's whereabouts, and he kept trying to bring up his memory of Rabka who was at the center of the explosion. However, the other side of him justifies that memory, however it is completely real.
"that must be real, if not where are these injuries coming from?" error back.
"Where is Brother, Mom? Where's Dad?" Ask.
now he can't think of anything else. Mother smiled warmly, put her thumb in front of Arna's mouth and whispered.
"Mother is grateful because Arna is okay.."
Now it's the silent one. Not only his whole body was in pain but his heart was slashed.
"good night, Arna.."
while his eyes looked at Gio who was glued in front of the doorstop with teary eyes.
