"I go down first, brother," I said to Brother Shafiq.
At this time the car of Shafiq brother had stopped in an alley near Papa Bima's house, as usual if the brother Syafiq drove me home. After having a chance to argue, finally, Brother Syafiq allowed me to go home and stay at Papa's house. That's because Mother Sheila also called and told Sister Syafiq to go home tonight.
Honestly, I still feel guilty right now. Brother Shafiq can't go home because of me. But I also asked my brother Syafiq to hide first about our marriage. I'm not ready to face the backlash from Vira and Mama Bella. How cowardly I am.
I grabbed Shafiq's right hand then kissed the back of his hand.
"Be careful. Report immediately if there is anything," said Mr. Shafiq.
"Yes. Brother be careful too huh," I reply.
I got out of the car of Shafiq and walked to Papa's house. And as usual, Brother Syafiq just re-run his car after I entered Papa's yard.
"Assalamu'alaikum" I said after opening the door.
"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Brother," cried happily Vira and Azka after they found out about my arrival.
I smiled at the two sisters who got up from their seats and ran to me. They both hugged me at the same time. I saw Papa and Mama standing up and walking towards me. It seemed like the four of them were deliberately waiting for my arrival by watching television together.
After Vira and Azka let go of their embrace, I kissed the back of Papa and Mama's right hand alternately.
"Papa," said I.
"You're healthy, right?" ask Papa with a smile.
"Alhamdulillaah Pa" I replied. "Mama," I switched to kissing the back of Mama's right hand.
Out of my expectations, my mother hugged me.
"Sorry Mama, son. Sorry," said Mama in a trembling voice.
I was stunned for a moment in surprise. But then I returned Mama's embrace and smiled.
"Mama's not wrong, why apologize to Sena?" ask me after our embrace came off.
"I'm sorry for all your bad attitude towards you all this time huh, Sen."
"Mama there's nothing wrong. So you don't have to apologize to me."
"This what the hell? Lebaran is still far away, why on apologize now try," asked Azka plain, confused.
Me, Papa, Mama, and Vira also chuckled in response to Azka's ridiculous speech.
"Udah-ud. We sit down again! This is my sister who bought sweet martabak chocolate Azka's favorite nut and Vira's favorite cheese flavor," I said then by lifting a plastic bag containing two sweet martabak boxes.
"Yeay," cried Vira and Azka together.
"No, not the best," Azka exclaimed, taking the plastic bag out of my hand.
"Thank you my dear brother," said Vira who immediately kissed me on the cheek.
I smiled at the happy faces of Vira and Azka. Fortunately, I had asked Syafiq to stop on the road and buy sweet martabak favorite of my brothers. But if I bargained for Safa earlier, Shafiq did not want to, he said he was not really bring souvenirs by kayak that. I smiled to myself remembering the incident.
The five of us sat down on the sofa. Chat, joke, while enjoying the sweet martabak that I brought earlier. The mother sitting next to me treated me so warmly and lovingly. I feel so happy right now.
Not long after, we all had dinner together. Again, chatter and laughter adorned the atmosphere of dinner this time. If only this kind of atmosphere happened every day, how happy I am. But my smile instantly disappeared when I saw the ring that was coiling on my ring finger.
'What if Mama and Vira find out the truth? This happy laughter will definitely just disappear.'
I nodded slowly without anyone noticing.
After dinner, Papa gets a call from one of his men. Papa then decided to go to the headquarters. Azka also returns to her room to do her schoolwork. Me, Mama, and Vira continued our conversation while watching television together.
Shortly thereafter, two small explosions were heard. The three of us were shocked by the sound of the explosion. Not long after that, the fire spread so quickly. The three of us stood up in shock and panic.
"Fire Mistress, Non," cried Bik Prapti in panic as he ran over to us.
"Why is this Bik?" ask Mama who panicked too.
"No idea, madam. There was someone throwing a glass bottle with fire on it. Keep fitting the bottle broke the fire immediately spread like a Nyah gini," replied Bik Prapti.
"Molotov bomb," I cried.
"What?" ask Mama and Vira at the same time.
"Azka is still on top" I said after remembering Azka.
"Jeez, Azka," Mama shouted in panic.
"Mama same Vira out first yes same Bik Prapti too. Let Sena the Azka samperin" I said later.
"But this is a danger, brother," prevent Vira.
"Yes Non. The fire has spread everywhere" said Bik Prapti.
"No pa-pa. Azka should be invited out as well. The boy must be wearing earphones so he does not know the current situation" I replied.
"You must be careful Sena," Mama's message with a very worried face.
"Sir, take Mama and Vira out right now. I'll go straight up to call Azka, "I asked Bik Prapti.
"Good Non. Come Madam, Non Vira."
"So careful."
"You must be careful, Sen."
I nodded back at the words of the three of them. After Bik Prapti invited Mama and Vira to get out of the house, I immediately rushed upstairs to Azka's room. Damn, fire spread so fast. I don't think this is just an ordinary Molotov cocktail. There must be something else.
I went straight into Azka's room. And sure enough, Azka was busy doing her schoolwork while listening to music through earphones.
"Dek," called me while pulling the earphones out of Azka's ear.
"God. Brother makes me surprised," complained Azka.
"There was a Deck fire. We need to get out of the house, "I said.
"What?" pekik Azka was shocked as she stood up.
"Yes. C'mon quickly. We need to get out now," take me.
Azka then followed me walking towards the door. But we did not get to the door, the fire had burned the wooden door and blocked our way out.
"Gosh, sis. The door burned. How are we going to get out, brother?" ask Azka who is starting to panic.
'Dangerous. Why is the fire so shallow really spreading."
"Please calm down Deck. Don't freak. Brother will find another way out" I said trying to calm Azka down.
I racked my brain, trying to figure out an idea.
"Uhuk, uhuk,,,"
Azka started coughing from inhaling too much smoke. I then pulled the blanket over Azka's bed and looked for another one in the closet. Two blankets I brought into the bathroom and then I wet it. Out of the bathroom I immediately put the blanket on Azka's body and into my own body.
"Let's go on Deck, let's get out on the balcony!" take me.
"We're going to jump?" tanya Azka was scared.
"There's no other way Deck. Do you believe in the same brother?"
He was silent for a moment, but then Azka nodded her head steadily.
"Yes, I believe in you brother."
"Good."
I then took Azka out of the room towards the balcony. The fire has spread everywhere. The temperature was very hot and the smoke also made us cough.
This wet blanket is enough to protect our bodies from fire when passing through the door to the balcony which is also already burning. Arriving at the balcony, I saw Vira, Mama, and Bik Prapti screaming in worry towards us. Some residents were also seen trying to put out the fire by carrying water in buckets.
"Azka, Sena!!!" yelled Mama from below.
"Sak Sena, Azka, be careful," Vira shouted as well.
The fire grew. No more time, I then grabbed Azka and stacked the two blankets we were wearing. At least when we fell down it would be slightly restrained with the help of these two thick blankets, I thought.
"You believe the same brother, don't you, Dek?" I asked Azka again.
"Yes, brother."
"If so we have to jump right now. Take it easy, these two blankets will reduce our risk of impact" I assured Azka.
Azka nodded. I then invited Azka to jump from the balcony.
'Protect us O Allah, ' I ask in my heart.
"Sena, Azka!!!" shout Vira.
"Sena, Azka!!!" mom's Voice.
And I also heard other screams.
Brucks.
My body and Azka's body hit the ground quite hard. It turns out that it still feels as painful as this even though it has used two thick blankets at once. My gaze was already twitching, my consciousness was almost gone. I could faintly hear the sounds of people screaming in panic at our state. But there was one voice that so clearly caught my attention.
"CENE!!!"
That's the voice of Shafiq. Did ya? And a moment later I felt my body being grabbed by that burly hand.
"Because you're not pa-pa, are you?" tanya Syafiq looks very worried.
"K-sister... Shh-h"
And everything is dark. I can't even go on with what I want to call his name.
