The Last First Love

CHAPTER 17

“Mpus, I'm in?” Windy opens the door to her room and finds her crying while hugging a picture of her parents.

Her tears kept flowing. Sometimes he tried to wipe it, but his tears were flowing. Orange did not expect it would be this fast to lose Mama and Papa. It felt like just last night they were still laughing together. Orange felt that in his nature at that time was like a nightmare that he wanted to wake up from it.

“Mpus, do we have breakfast? I just bought chicken porridge Asep kang at the crossroad, is that your favorite mpus?” Windy persuaded Orange to eat, because from yesterday all day Orange did not eat anything after knowing his parents had an accident.

“I'm not hungry cing.” Reply Orange listless.

“I don't want you to get sick mpus. You ate a little?” Persuade Windy again, but the Orange ignores him.

Her tears kept flowing. Her eyes were swollen, as she had not stopped crying since the incident. Orang-orang is not ready to live without their parents. Let alone the only child, orange has no brother or sister. Orange is completely alone now.

Previously, papa and mama Jingga paid to go out of town to meet the wedding invitation of their distant relatives. But disaster befalls them. On the way home, their car was hit by a container truck transporting goods that lost control. Mama Jingga died at the scene, while her father was rushed to the hospital but eventually also died.

“You want me to call Fiki?” Windy was already confused not knowing how else to persuade the orange to eat. The face of the orange also looks pale.

“No need cing. I just want to be alone.” Orange rubbed his tears again, and tried to smile in front of his best friend Windy.

“You have breakfast first. I'm going to take a break.” The orange then lay down and put back the picture of his parents on the table.

Orange tried to close his eyes. From his face looks how devastated Orange was at that time. The old man who was always there and spoiled him is now gone.

After the orange fell asleep, Windy stood up and went out of the room to let it rest.

“Jingga is still crying Ma.” Windy replied in a doldrums. Windy seemed to have given up persuading his best friend.

Windy and Lisa then return to their house, which happens to be next to the house of Orange.

“Ma, was Harri phone papa.” Papa Windy approached his wife with a resigned face.

“Pak Harri said what pa?” Ask Lisa.

“Because mas Feri is dead, so all home installments and cars are no longer under the company's responsibility ma. Jingga is only entitled to receive grief money and his papa insurance only and that is the amount is not much.” Mr. Niko began to explain in detail to his wife.

“That means their home and car.” Lisa's mom scrunched her forehead.

“Iya ma. inevitably we have to hand over their house and car to the bank.” Mr. Niko continued to explain. Lisa was sitting down to hear her husband's explanation.

“The grief and insurance will be liquid in another week ma. Meanwhile, the bank gave a week to vacate the house. Patience yes ma!” Mr. Niko tried to calm his wife who was the brother of papa Jingga.

Windy who heard her parents talk from a distance felt sad. Windy had no idea in an instant that his best friend's life had turned out like this. Orange who is usually always happy with his parents now lives a kara. The cheerful smile on his face had begun to erode since the calamity had come upon their families.
