The Light of ANAS

I'm the One Who Caused Her Disability

After getting his father's anger and advice from the Mother, Naz was reluctant to go out of the room and just stay alone, occasionally he looked at the screen of his cellphone as if waiting for someone to contact him, there were no messages or phone calls for him until the night. Naz came out of the room just to go to the bathroom just to take a shower or just urinate and worship when entering prayer. Even at dinner he did not come out so the food was delivered by Mbak Iyem only to his room. Dandy who was astonished also asked Mommy, finally Mommy told everything to Dandy, and he was surprised to learn that Arfin's girlfriend was his own sister, Rheanazwa.

The next day as usual before leaving for Naz school had breakfast first, and this time he was no longer sulking so willing to have breakfast with Dad, Mother and Dandy. Naz followed the advice of the Mother to give up on her father first, and he acted as if nothing had happened between them.

Dandy is seen looking with a full of probing gaze to his sister, as if he was asking for an explanation about the relationship of his bontot brother with his best friend, Arfin. But Naz ignored him and even showed his rancid attitude by strangling his lips and sticking his tongue out as if mocking the Brother.

After breakfast, Naz left for school to be delivered by his father, and this is the rarest thing in his life, although he had refused, Mother gave him a signal with a blink of an eye and nodded her head to let Naz obey.

“Patience,, patience Naz,, this is a test,, hopefully with me being sweet and obedient like this can quickly get the blessing of Father, amiin”, he murmured in his heart.

Arriving at school Naz immediately got out of the car and greeted his father then he entered the school gate and walked to his class, then as usual the learning procession began with the bell in the first lesson hour, then he entered the school, continue the next lesson with a duration of 45 minutes every one hour of lessons.

When the break time arrives, it is not usual that the three friends of Naz are not with him to the cafeteria, Ruby reasoned that there is an OSIS meeting because he is a member of OSIS, he said, Kiara carries out the punishment of Mr. Emir the teacher BK for being caught during the middle of the school lesson in the cafeteria, while the Andes have a group in the music class. Naz went to the cafeteria just for snacks and ate it in class while sending a message to the lover.

“Kak Afin why yes, how from last night my message was not answered by one, my phone was not picked up,, has he returned to Surabaya?? But I didn't know I was, but it's tomorrow Sunday,, yes he's back again anyway,,, huft,, gini very yes it feels miss that heavy”. Naz dialogues alone while lamenting the screen of his cellphone that never gets a message or call from Arfin, he eats his snacks by continuing to glance at the screen of his phone.

After returning home from school when Naz reached his home, he met Nervan who had just left his house. “Bang Evan,,, what else is here ?”, he asked in wonder.

“Hai, Naz,, Abang was finished there is a need with Om Rizal, and luckily he is home,, you just came home from school huh?”, he replied then pleasantries.

“Iya Bang,,, Huh, why did you meet Dad, what business??”, Naz asked again.

“There deh,, you like kepo also turns out, , Brother excuse me to go home first ya”, Nervan was saying goodbye and went straight home, while Naz felt astonished and asked questions in his heart.

“For what reason Bang Evan met Dad, did he know that Dad was against my relationship with Arfin, so he wanted to approach me again through Dad,, haduhhh, gaswat oruh this mah,,, so he wanted to approach me again through Dad,, the obstacles are even more steep if Father allows Bang Evan to approach me, where Brother Arfin is jealous again, especially with him, Naz grumbled inwardly as he walked into his house.

“Assalamu’alaikum”, he said greeting, Naz also heard the answer from the direction of the middle room, then he walked towards the direction of the origin of the voice, and then he walked towards the direction of the sound, and it turns out there is his father who is being massaged his head by Mother.

“Waahhh, it looks like Mommy has started her action to seduce and persuade Dad, yess”, she muttered inwardly.

Naz approached the two and then experienced them alternately, “ Deck, you have gone home anyway, eat first there, gih, The same father Mother had eaten earlier with Nervan who happened to play here again when we want to eat”.

"Yes, Bund, but I want to take a bath first ah, sultry,”, Naz said, then rushed to the second floor to clean himself up, and a little while later he came back down to eat, and it turned out that his Father and Mother were not there, “Yahhh,,, fail to want to know about the arrival of Bang Evan earlier”, said Naz while continuing to walk to the dining room to eat there.

“Mbak, Mother of the same Father where?”, ask Mbak Iyem who is preparing food that has been heated on the dining table.

“So Father after receiving a call from the hospital directly went to Neng, if Mother had said she wanted to go to the boutique because her phone was left there when she returned home earlier”, replied Mbak Iyem.

“Oh, pantesan...”, said Naz who then ate the meal.

The next days were tough for Naz and for this one week Naz, who was always trying to contact Arfin, never got a response, coupled with his three friends who lately preoccupied with school activities increasingly add to his sadness and feel alone. Mother who previously promised to persuade Dad as soon as possible has not given results, so every night Naz can only cry mourning his sadness as if coming with a complete package approaching him.

On this Saturday after school Naz went to the lake to calm himself there, and it turned out when he got there, from a distance he saw a man sitting on the bench he used to sit on. Naz was happy that the man he had missed so much for a week was there as if he was waiting for his arrival, he also accelerated his steps because he wanted to immediately meet his lover and did not care anymore with the words of Mother who asked him not to meet with Arfin first for a while. The sense of happiness and longing that had erupted in his chest was greater than the fear of being lectured by his Father and Mother, he continued to step and arrived beside the bench.

As he approached the man, his feeling of happiness instantly disappeared replaced with disappointment, “What is Evan doing here?”, he asked in wonder.

“Eh,, there's you Naz,,, being alone, it happens to be cloudy and a bit cloudy weather so here it feels cool to calm down” replied while playing his phone.

“Oh,, hehe”, Naz is just oh ria.

“What are you doing here yourself? “, Nervan back nanya.

“Emmm,, just play here Bang,, hehhe”, she replied grinningly.

“Come here sit,,,”, take her.

“Emm,, no, thanks Bang”, Naz refused.

“Let's just relax,, you won't bite, anyway there's no Arfin, so don't be afraid.. Brother also will not disturb the boyfriend of people, let alone his girlfriend Arfin, can rampage again he later,,”, said Nervan casually.

Naz ended up sitting on the same bench, only he was sitting at the end of his stool so there was a distance between them.

“By the way since when do you know Arfin?, the feeling for seven years in America, Arfin never went home deh”, he asked as if interrogating.

“Oh, your pantesan often come here, because this place has its own memories for you”, said Nervan.

“Iya Bang,, here is where I waited for her arrival,”, replied Naz while smilingly staring towards the lake.

”Eh wait, if you met Arfin here seven years ago, it means you are still SD dong, because now you are only new class 2 SMA,,, how to get close to Arfin, was he a fedophile?”, asked, Nervan was surprised.

“Hahaha,, no Bang, when I met here again I was sad and crying, then he gave me a smile to calm me down, and it worked,,, after that we never met again. However, after I had a pesbuk account during the 2nd grade Junior High first, we met again in cyberspace and chat often without knowing our faces and real names because I use my middle name Eleanoor while he uses the name Sang Anas, and when he was coming home from America we made a pact to meet here, but he never came, so Brother went to college there jg?”, he explained.

“Oh, as the story turns out, it's worth it when in America he's never been close to any girl, and plays his phone more often while smiling to himself,, he said,, it turns out that what makes it like that is you Naz.”, he said chuckling, “Iya, Brother also used to study in America, he said, but when finished S1 came back here and continued his studies here while helping run the family company. And because of the busyness, Brother rarely met with Dandy and Hardi, too,, yaa only a few months ago we often gather again and Brother just found out that his sister Dandy who used to be round like a ball has now become a beautiful girl”.

“Oh, so I wasn't pretty before, Bang? ”.

“Cantik kok,, her beauty was still blocked by the fat folds that clumped, hahaha”, he said mocking and laughing with crisp.

“Huh, you're a pain in the ass, say that ugly thing,,,”, said Naz while scorching his lips, “Abang know not,,,,?? when I found be smile in Brother's car, I had thought that Brother was him, Sang Anas, because Brother also studied in America,, hahaha, funny ya”, because, he said he admitted his mistake first.

“Hahaha,,, time anyway, pantesan aja you who usually jutek late-end is so good with Abang, even though Abang had thought that you like the same brother,, Eh it turns out his heart was stuck in Arfin”, Nervan again chuckled.

“Oh yes Bang, sorry about the incident the other day, because I am Brother in the same beat Kak Arfin,, “, said Naz regretted.

“Gak what, once-in-a-time face Abang dapet accessories”, Nervan even replied with nyeleneh.

“The basis is strange,, where there are bruises made accessories, hahaha”, said Naz laughed, “Nby the way, why did you not fight at all at that time? though Kak Arfin did not hit Abang”, he asked.

“Although he wants to beat Brother to death also Brother will not fight, do not be the one who loves brother, the life of Brother will love you voluntarily if he asks”, do not be loved brother, he said then smile .

“Hah,,, that means?? Brother willingly died for Brother Arfin… ? don't tell me if Abang,, hihhhh,, you like Kak Arfin that much,,, hihhhh Abang gay????”, Naz who was surprised to hear it even thought.

“Hahaha,, don't be crazy you Naz, where there are gays often jiggling over girlfriends and of course girlfriends Brother all Naz”, Nervan can laugh at Naz

“Keep why Abang willingly give up the life of Abang all. lebay terribly, I just not until kali”, Naz still curious.

Nervan bowed his head and sighed for a moment, “Because Brother who had caused his leg to limp, Brother who had caused him to be embarrassed to face the world, Brother who had made him slump for quite a long time, Brother who had caused him to fall down, The brother who had made him lose his confidence to befriend anyone including to approach women, the brother who made him have to accept the fact that he had a disability for the rest of his life, he said with a soft tone.

Naz was very surprised to hear it, he smothered his mouth with his palm and was silent for a moment, “Ma means What brother?”, he asked.

Nervan let out a long sigh as if strengthening himself because he remembered the incident, “Formerly during SMA graduation, if not for stubborn Brother maybe we would not have had the accident,, and in order to save Brother, Arfin was severely injured and almost lost his life, even when treated at the hospital his heartbeat was stopped, but after being treated with a pacemaker several times, he was stopped by his heart, finally his heart beat returned. After the surgery, both legs were declared paralyzed,,,”, he explained, but stopped for a moment.

“While he had previously passed the examination to enter Harvard University and was declared accepted there, that's why Abang enrolled in college there because he wanted to keep it to make up for your mistakes. And there he went on medication and therapy so he could walk again, but,,,,”, Nervan could no longer continue his words that seemed too tight his chest and his eyes looked glassy, and Naz did not ask, when he heard all that he was busy wiping his tears.

“Till this second the guilt always haunts me Naz,, he used to be very fond of motor racing, but since the accident, he never raced again, he never raced again, he even avoids meeting or communicating with his old school friends and his race mates, But, Brother was happy when he came home he could join our gang again and even Brother did not expect him to be able to approach a girl. And now that you know the cause of it all is you Naz, because your love has changed his life and has restored his confidence, you can only be happy that he is Naz, Arfin loves you so much Naz, take it easy he's a good person and he'll always protect you from anything, because that's what he always does for his loved ones”.

“Iya Bang,, “, he said smiling,,”Bang, the sky is already very cloudy, it looks like it will rain, I go home first Bang”, Naz said then rose from his seat.

“Abang also want to go home,, do not want to be rained here later, it is thought that my people are the prince of the lake keeper frog, hahaha”, and so on, he laughed and he got up from his seat and the two of them stepped together to go home.

Just walking a few steps, Naz's phone shook and he took it straight out of his uniform pocket.

Aa

“Oh, so as long as I'm not around, you meet him often, Naz"

"Yassalam,, from where he knows I'm the same bang Evan" Naz murmured inwardly as he circulated his gaze with a shocked and fearful expression.
