The Forgotten Sins

The Forgotten Sins
End and Beginning



One night, Mom got a sudden call from the office. Arna was forced to join because no one would accompany her at home.


“Arna, you'll wait in Mom's room. You can go around as long as you keep carrying your phone so that you can know where you are!” Mother's chatter while holding Mom up the stairs to her room.


“Yes Ma'am." The answer.


“Da...Arna!!!” Mom from a distance.


“Iya bu...” Reply Arna rather slowly.


“Mother is in a hurry," she thought.


Arna was looking out the window contemplating the times she had gone through with her complete family first.


“I can't keep pondering and wailing! My future is long!” He spoke inwardly, his strength seemed to rise again.


At that moment, in front of the window was something that flashed swiftly. He was shocked and took a few steps back.


“What is it? So fast! is this just my delusion?” his inner.


Then he walked to Mom's desk to pick up her phone. But before he touched the table, there was a noise at the door that distracted him. Indeed, the hallway was quiet, all the employees had gone home, because this meeting was a sudden meeting so there were only a few people there. So it is natural that sounds from other places are heard very clearly. As Arna tried to find out, there was a scream at the door.


“Tol...Mmm...!!!!”


“woman's voice!” Her thought.


"He wants help?"


Arna became alert and immediately sought shelter. The only place he thought of was hiding behind the backdoor table. The light that came out from the crack, made him interested in peeking. Apparently, there was a woman whose mouth was silenced with a cloth and her body was injured. He was drowning on the floor, a masked man dragging him.


“Kejam!" Arna trembled looking at the wounds all over the woman's body.


"Who are they? Are they robbers?”


He kept praying. More and more bad guys are entering the building. They were gathered in front of the room, now that the hallway had been filled with its members. Arna closed his eyes, prayer continued to be offered to the powerful.


BRAAKKK!!!


Arna tesentak, the door was broken by a man. Some people went in to check on Mom's documents. He tried to keep his existence unknown. Because it was too tense he forgot to breathe.


"My cellphone!" Her thought.


Arna is very sorry for not thinking about taking her mobile phone before hiding.


His eyes glanced down the hallway. It seems empty. He made the calculations to escape. However, his intention was void due to hearing the sound of footsteps. Sure enough, someone walked up the stairs. Intentionally Arna observed his special characteristics, perhaps he could report to the police. But there are things that make him unable to look away. It's a picture on that guy's back.


“that's right..”


It was the same as the image on the skin of the woman exploding in the market.


“Place them in Hall 2, catch anyone inside. Then blow this building up! Burn to a scorch!!!”The man who opened the file called out to his friends.


"What's? blow up buildings?" thought Arna while imagining her end was near.


The people outside instantly disappeared. I don't know since when they left, the steps just weren't heard at all. Lives in a room with him. As he was about to leave his attitude changed. He turned to look at the table, and Arna's phone was slammed onto the floor by him.


THE PRANG...!!!


"God..." Mumbled Arna scared.


Without checking anything else, he walked out of the room and was not seen again. Arna breathed a sigh of relief.


“may he see me earlier!” Her thought.


But as soon as he saw the remnants of his phone scattered he remembered something.


“Mother!!” Arna panic.


“What should I do? they'll catch Mom and everyone in the room. But what can I do, I'm just a kid!" He cursed himself for his limitations.


A moment of silence, Arna emboldened herself.


"Can't be so, I am Arnawa!!”


“one.., two...,ti.”


The calculation was scrapped due to the noise from Hall 2.


“AKU, LATE!” his inner.


Not too long later, several people with their hands tied went out in tandem from the hall. He was silent for a moment thinking hard.


“if I don't save Mom now then I won't have any more family”


With the timeframe almost coinciding, Mother walked out of the hall. He breathed for courage. Then jump from behind a pole, ambush among the people holding Mom. Reckless, he scuttle the feet of the criminal who took Mom. Then pulled Mom away.


“Arna.!” Excited Mother.


“Mother let's hurry, we have to go! They're gonna blow this building up!” Arna.


Mother just nodded. In a place some distance away, they stopped for a moment to untie the bonds in Mom's hands.


"Let's keep on Mom!" Said Arna cheering the Mother who looks overwhelmed.


••••


Sweat had flooded their clothes but the masked men were not willing to give up. Most of their energy has been drained. Arna kept holding Mom's hand. When they were already in the courtyard of the building, he suddenly felt a loud bang in his hand. So that their arms were released, he himself also fell forward because of the incident earlier. Sontak Arna looked at Mom. Apparently, a masked man had already pulled Mom away. Mother struggled to escape, but the man threw her into a black box car filled with friends of Mother from the Hall.


“Arnaaa...!!!” Shouted Mother, aware that will be separated from her child.


Mom got up quickly to jump out of the car, but the two people standing guard inside held Mom's hand. Door tightly closed.


“Mother!” Call Arna. “Sial...!!” Angry, he rushed after the box car.


Not only did he step, a rough pull sent him back to the ground.


“Hey boy! Your business with me is not finished” said the person who pulled it.


He retreated until he approached the building door. Now the place to escape is blocked by the door. The man clenched his frowning hands, his face covered in a mask, so Arna did not know for sure how he was expressing it. But his feelings told him he was grinning, or perhaps that was what was on his mind. Arna accidentally saw a plastic hose under the man's feet. Without a second thought, he pulled the hose so that the criminal slipped and fell down, which was between the legs of the man. Arna got up and prepared to run away. However, his left leg was pulled until it fell against the door. His efforts were not over, he kicked the man and stood opening the door of the building. Apparently, that guy keeps following him.


••••


Now it is on the second floor. He knew the building would explode. If the person does not go after him then he will just hide. Balcony building has been in plain sight, from there the view of the city can be seen clearly. Around the Balcony, around it is a thick glass wall, deliberately made so that the view looks wider.


••••


Arna stopped, counting her steps in doubt. If he continues then most likely he will explode along with this magnificent building. But, if he turned around he could be arrested and I don't know what the bad guy would do to him. In a matter of seconds, the man had reached the balcony. He stopped looking at Arna cynically and walked over while unmasking her face. I don't know what that guy wants. Perhaps he deliberately showed his face to frighten Arna. That man's face was indeed frightening, he grinned cruelly like a lion in front of his prey. Slowly, he pulled out the knife that was tucked in his plate. The knife glittered sharply as it moved. For a moment Arna's mind was focused only on the knife. However, the flashing lights several times stopped the evil man's footsteps.


“lucky once you, your life grow longer by a few seconds.” The man said to Arna who was still clumsy, then he disappeared as fast as lightning.


“wait! Whahuh? A few seconds...!?” Ask Arna in thought.


Suddenly, the building shook with a rumbling sound in one of the hallways. Followed by another rumbling sound. Simultaneously, dust gushed out from a passageway in the back.


“Tit ..., tit ..., tit ..., tit ,tit, tit...”.


“that's for sure..” his chest pounded instantly.


DUAR….!!!!


A large explosion occurred in an old archive room located at the end of the hallway. Arna protected the face with both hands, the blast wave making her flung out of the building. The balcony glass also broke exposed to waves and debris of goods. This time, Arna was still able to open her eyes wide and watch one by one the hallway of the building emit a deafening rumble and dust rolled around.


“aku, will die now?” his question was in mind while he slid down from the second floor.


Somehow time seemed to slow down so he could still watch the seconds of broken items and glass fragments floating around him.


“Do I end now? though.., I do not yet have ideals as high as you, Brother Rabka. And Mom, I can't free you from those criminals. Gio.. I want to see you just once! ” The faces of everyone he loves are drawn one by one.


In the end, he saw the faces of Father, Brother Rabka and Mother waving with a smile. His hands moved to delusion. However, the delusion vanished like dust swept by the wind. Instantly he regained consciousness and changed his mindset.


“No…! I will not die…!!! That person, they will not be able to eliminate me from this world…! How many victims have they lost to the world? if I die here, I won't be able to repay you! That won't happen!!!” the pekikin' in heart.


normal time is back. He hit a big tree branch, the twig and the leaf slapped and greeted his body. Until, he hit a very solid and hard object. Then everything went dark.
