The Sacrifice of Nayra

Reunite

After taking the medicine from the doctor, Kyara fell asleep on her lap. Santi closed his eyes. Mang Dudung drove the car slowly because at that time it was raining heavily. The road was also jammed.

Rama, who was sitting next to Mang Dudung, threw his gaze out the window beside him. Rama observed the droplets of falling water drenching the city streets. Rama was holding his cell phone. Rama is eager to contact Nayra but she undoes her intention because surely Nayra will not want to answer her call.

'Nay, I really wanted to call you. Did you know Kyara was sick? He's been looking for you all day.. I would love to tell you that we are now on our way to Jogja to pick you up...'

Rama saw the clock on his cell phone. The clock has shown at eleven o'clock in the evening.

'Maybe Nayra is sleeping now' he thought.

Rama closed his eyes and tried to sleep. His stomach began to rumble and felt wrapped around because since noon he had not eaten anything. But Rama could only hold it.

Minutes passed, but Rama could not sleep. He also opened his eyes again. The clock shows at 12 midnight. The rain still falls. Rama turned his head towards Mang Dudung who was focusing on driving.

"The Hood"

"Yes Mr. Rama"

"If Mang Dudung is tired, Mang Dudung just sleep! Let me drive"

"But sir, I do not feel good with Mr. Rama if I sleep while Mr. Rama is driving"

"No pa pa Mang. I also can't sleep"

"Then, well, Mr. Rama"

Mang Dudung pulled his car over. Then they exchanged positions. Now Rama is holding the wheel, while Mang Dudung is resting.

Nayra flipped her body over the bed looking for a comfortable position. It was already midnight, but his eyes were still unable to fall asleep. Nayra grabbed her phone on the table. He opened his WhatsApp app and reread the messages from Rama.

'Kiya.. Mama kangen with Kiya. Are you okay, baby?'

Actually Nayra was eager to reply to a message from Rama to ask the state of Kyara. But given what happened last night, Nayra's heart still hurts.

'Mas Rama, I actually miss you too. Why do you always ignore me? It's like I've never been in your life...'

'I'm just an ordinary woman. I also have a heart and a feeling. Why do you have the same heart as me Mas. hiks.' Nayra murmured in her heart while shedding her tears.

Nayra kept thinking about Rama and Kyara until she fell asleep in her sleep.

***

The dawn adhan echoed. But Nayra still refused to open her eyes. His eyelids are heavy. I don't know what time he slept last night.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck...

"Wake Nay!! Let's pray dawn!" ma'am Aini shouted from behind the door.

Geck.. Geck.. Geck...

"Mim..!!!"

Hearing her mother's screams, Nayra slowly opened her eyes.

"Yes Ma'am"

Nayra forced her body to get up and open the door.

Chequek!

"Hoaaamm" Nayra yawned and rubbed her eyes.

Ms. Aini just shook her head to see her daughter.

"Nay, you've been married for a long time. Why are you still getting up in the morning? Always have to wake up"

"Nayra couldn't sleep last night Mom. Nayra misses Kyara and Mas Ram.."

Nayra rounded her eyes. He just realized he's lost. Ms. Aini smiled with relief at Nayra's words.

"If you miss them. Go Nay! They must miss you too"

"That's not what Nayra means.."

"That's Nay. Let's go to the mosque!"

After the dawn prayer, Nayra helped her mother, Mbak Wulan, Mbak Rina and Andin at the restaurant until the restaurant opened. Bu Aini's restaurant is open from seven in the morning and closes at seven in the evening.

After that, Nayra went home to take a shower and change clothes. Coincidentally that day was Sunday. For some reason, Nayra wants to take a walk to the Prambanan Temple park. After breakfast, Nayra asked her mother for permission.

"Mother, Nayra wants to go to the park. Nayra hasn't been there in a long time"

"Alright Nay. Careful yeah!"

"Yes Ma'am"

Nayra went to the park on foot. The park is located in front of his mother's restaurant. It used to be almost every day Nayra went there just to refresh and hone her skills in English with foreign tourists. Nayra used to selfie the same foreign tourists she met there.

It's still morning. Susana in the park is still a bit quiet. Nayra also took a walk through the park while breathing fresh air.

After a long walk, Nayra sat on a wooden chair to unwind.

Suddenly someone called his name.

"Nayra!!"

Nayra turned her head towards the source of the sound. How surprised he was to find out who the owner of the voice was. Nayra stood up from her seat and stared intently at the person in front of her at this moment. Nayra rounded her eyes. His heart started to beat.

"Mas... Adit..." Nayra seemed to be in disbelief at what she saw at this moment.

Yes, the owner of the voice is Aditya Kusuma Wardhana, Nayra's first love. Aditya walked over to Nayra.

"Nayra.. Is this really you Nay? I miss you very much Nay"

Aditya hugged Nayra tightly. He can't hold himself anymore. He missed Nayra so much.

Nayra was still in shock. She was silent when Aditya spontaneously hugged her. Then suddenly a shadow of the faces of Rama and Kyara appeared in his memory.

"Mas Adit, let go of me Mas" Nayra tried to escape.

Aditya let go of his embrace.

"Sorry Nay, I'm just getting carried away"

"Why are you here, Mom?"

"Should I ask you Nay? Why did you just leave me? What's my fault, Nay?"

"Every Sunday I come here nyariin you Nay? I also met your mother. Your mother said you were married and followed your husband. Is that true Nay? I want to hear it straight from your mouth"

Nayra just kept quiet while bowing her face.

"Please answer me Nay!" Aditya holds both of Nayra's shoulders.

"Yes Mas. Thas right. Sorry I'm Mas.." Nayra began to shed tears.

Aditya's heart ached when he heard those words coming out of Nayra's mouth. He really did not expect that Nayra would betray him. He had thought that Ms. Aini was just lying to him. But it turns out that all is true. Aditya was really disappointed.
