The Smile of God for Marissa

Koma

Sulis and Rosa enter the yard of Sisy's parents' house when a soldier greets her.

“Good day, Ma'am. What is Sulis and Rosa?” they nodded.

“Iya, Sir. I'm Sulis and this is my friend, Rosa. We came because invited by his mother Sisy.”  The army

the face of Sulis nodded.

“The lady told me to pick up both of you to come in. Madam is still outside and will be home soon. Come please, Mbak.” Sulis and Rosa followed the soldiers, heading for the back garden, where eight chairs were laid out around a round table. They looked at every corner of the garden, marveling at its beauty without intending to go ahead to sit down.

“Please sit down, Ma'am. I'll be right back.” Without waiting for the second order, Sulis and Rosa immediately took up a position. Sit on a chair that is right under the catapult tree. The soldier immediately went to the front yard.

“It turns out Sisy's mother invited us when she wasn't home huh, Lis. What's the matter exactly?’

“I don't know, Ros. Anything not talked on the phone to me.”

“You should have asked earlier. What's the problem. Try if we come to be scolded. We can be good. Where we are now in the army nest again.”

“You scared?”

Rosa nodded. she indeed felt a little trembling as she looked at the soldier who was escorting her. Although it seems friendly to them, but his firm attitude is still not able to make Rosa feel calm.

“As long as we are innocent why should we be afraid? We can tell you the truth that Sisy's mother will be angry. All this time we have no idea about his disappearance, about the problem or

about any.”

Rosa was silent. He admitted that Sulis' maturity was better than his half-and-half self. It can't even be said to be adult.

“Lis.”

 “What's up?”

“I feel goosebumps.”

Sulis looked at Rosa who was starting to pale. He doesn't understand why it happened to his best friend. Bright atmosphere, beautiful and pleasant garden, it makes itself very comfortable. Enjoy the atmosphere he always missed. But inversely proportional to his best friend who actually started

terrified.

“Don't joke, Ros. This is very nice. The garden is also beautiful, the wind blows breeze, flicking your veil waving, as if asking your worship man to have it by your side. Why are you scared?”

“Come on, Sulis. Pleases. Understand myself. I'm really scared.”

Sulis looked at Rosa who started to lower her head.

“We are patient for a moment. Waiting for the presence of Sisy's mother, after that we immediately return, OK?”

“Good. I'll be patient.”

“I hope Sisy's mother is soon . .”

“Assalamaicum. You guys been waiting a long time?” Suddenly a graceful woman greeted them out of nowhere, whose apparent arrival made Sulis and Rosa a little relieved.

“Waalaikum greetings, Mom. I'm Sulis,” Sulis stood up then reached out her hand kissed the back of Meli's hand, Sisy's mother.

“I Rosa, Ma'am.” Said Rosa while doing the same thing as what Sulis did.

“Cute kids. You've kept your word, and I'm so happy.”

“Sorry, indeed, Mother invited us in what order?” Meli tried to smile. Even though his heart held a lot of sadness. Looking at the two young girls in front of him, he remembered his son who was now lying helplessly in the hospital.

“Mother is sorry for bothering you. You should be studying or resting. But I ask you to come.”

“What's really going on, Mom? What happened to Sisy? Why did he never leave for college?’

“Mother . .” Meli looked at Sulis. His right hand occasionally wiped his tears.

“Sisy is in a coma in the hospital. Hixes. He's in the ICU room now.”

“Coma in ICU?” ask Sulis and Rosa at the same time. Meli nodded, she had absolutely no idea where to start to make her two best friends understand.

“Tell us what happened, Mom. Invite us also to visit the treatment room Sisy.” Meli nodded.

“Yes, that's why I told you to come here.”

“Why not directly ask us to come to the hospital? If it's like this, it'll be a hassle for Mom. Mom must stay in hospital and dormitory.”

“It's okay, Honey. I also have to pick up some stuff Sisy.”

“Since when was Sisy in the hospital, Mom?”

“a week ago.”

“A week ago, and new Mom told us?”

“Mom just don't want you guys to be too bothered. I know you're learning.”

“Marissa yesterday came and asked Sisy, Mom. He invited us to come to this house, but we didn't know Sisy was in the hospital.”

Meli.

“Don't tell him. Mom doesn't want.”

“Why, Mom? Among us, he was the one who cared the most about Sisy. He deserves to know the circumstances of his best friend, Bu.”

“Just don't tell him. She's the one who made Sisy like this.”

Sulis and Rosa shook their heads.

“This is not true, Mom. Rissa is a good girl. He always sacrificed for all of us, including sacrificing for Sisy. Once she finds out Sisy loves Mr. Seno, she retreats regularly. He even chose to accept Aditya's proposal. Lecturer whom he did not know.”

“Didn't you go back, Sister Sulis? Sisy sacrificed a lot for Marissa's happiness? All this time Sisy says that she has a friend named Marissa, a selfish girl who wants to win by herself. He has taken Seno from my son's hands. He is also the one who has destroyed the relationship of Seno and Sisy. I don't want to hear his name let alone see him coming to see Sisy.”

Sulis and Rosa looked at each other. They don't believe what they just heard. Sulis took a deep breath. Trying to accept the harsh reality of Meli's assessment of her best friend Marissa.

“Sisy doesn't want Marissa to look at her.”

Sulis and Rosa took a breath. Disappointed with the decision made. As far as they know, Marissa and Sisy have forgiven each other. There is absolutely no hatred and hatred.

“do we get to see Sisy right now? We're worried about the night. We still have appointments with friends on campus.” Rosa tries to break the red thread of hatred in Meli's heart on Marissa. Everything has to be straightened out, and now is not the right time for that.

“Good. Let's leave.” Meli stood up and stepped towards her house. While Sulis and Rosa walk through the side of the house to the front yard, where there is already a car that is turned on, ready to take them to the Special Family Army hospital.

Sulis approached his motorbike which he parked in the corner of the yard, guiding and turning it on, after seeing Meli out of the house.

“You don't want to come with me in the car?”

“Thank you, Mom. We use motor only.’

“Good. Come Mr. Karman we leave”

“Good Bu.” Karman, who had been standing up, opened the door for Meli, and stepped towards the steering wheel.

After a few minutes they arrived at the hospital. They entered the gate of the hospital where there were many tense faces were swarming. Sulis and Rosa just glanced at them while still following Meli's steps towards the ICU room.

“You Sulis, Right?’
