The Torrent of Longing

Rusda

It's been two years that Rusda has been living with me. And during that time he continued to explore his talents with the capital my parents gave him. He kept trying to make his own stories and drawings. Indeed, he had aspirations of becoming a comic. To me he's so great. At the age of 14 years can already work. His comic is in the process of publishing.

Today me, Rusda, papa and mama want to celebrate the success of being a comic with a walk. Honestly, I envy her. My mom and dad rarely take me for a walk.

I had no idea what would happen today would be a memory that could never be forgotten.

"Mamaa.. Rusda said he wanted to bring miki tuh maa." I shouted from the second floor

(Miki is the name of Rusda's pet cat)

"Eh, how was it brought? What if he ran away?" asked my mother as she walked up the stairs to my room and Rusda

"Engga ma, lie.. Don't be trusted"

"Yes, let's go down.. Let Miki tell bi Ika aja take care of"

"OK on.."

Rusda and I ran down like a duck released from its cage.

"Slow down son"

"Where is ma?" I asked because I didn't see papa anywhere

"That's papa" said the mother, pointing out the window

"Viii... Papa very excited ya.." I said after getting into the car

"Whenever?" ask papa

"Siaaap.." I said with Rusda excitedly.

During the trip Rusda did not stop telling stories about his experience making comics. I am also happy to respond to his story.

"What is the Dawn? Papa's childhood lost the same Rusda?"

"Maybe? Ngabisin papa's money. Hahahaha.." I laughed to myself while the others just looked at me full of confusion.

"Eee.." I can only scratch my nape that doesn't itch

Arriving at the destination, Dufan.

"Mamaa... Ride it yu.." I pointed to a rollercoaster ride that was running

"You're the same Rusda.. Mama's the same papa wait here"

That day I felt happy.. I can play and hang out with my mom and dad.

Long story short, Rusda and I finished playing. And it doesn't feel like it's 2 o'clock. Mom and Dad took us both home.

(On the way home)

"Maa.." I said to my mother

"What dear?" my mother replied softly

"Mama why keep working anyway? You're already working, so you don't have to work?"

"Why do you love working mama?"

"The school wants rich people. I can tell the same stories as Mom.. A story about school, a story about school. If mom and dad work together, Fajar want to tell who? In the past when ka Dusk was still often found Dawn, ka Dusk that Dawn ajakin to horrify the story of Dawn. Now?"

"Now Rusda is busy with her hobby of drawing mah. You know he wants to do a lot of comics"

"Yes already. Mom will think again"

"Don't think about it dong mah.. My mom's promise will always have time for dawn"

Mama just smiled. And I hinted my little finger to promise. Mama also put my little finger together with her little finger. In that instant I felt my world return, my world begin to be colored again, just like the time when Dusk was still here.

My car was in a very violent shock. So loud Rusda woke up from her sleep. Looks like papa hit something. But when you want to stop the car, the car brakes can't work.

"How about this, the brakes can't work"

We all started to panic. I don't know what's gonna happen. But, I feel very scared. Rusda and I hugged Mama very tightly because the road was narrow and in front of it was seen there was a truck in the opposite direction was going through the same road.

At the time, I just hoped it was all a dream. I kept thinking like that until a very loud noise and impact that made my car half destroyed. And before I fainted, I had a chance to see the face of my papa who was crushed by a very hard impact.

When I woke up I was holding onto a part of my head that felt very heavy and sakiit.. But, I can't see anything. Only darkness can be seen.

Suddenly there was someone holding my hand while mentioning the name of Dawn..

I don't recognize his voice. I don't remember anyone. All I remember is the name Dusk and his memories. At that time all I wanted was to meet Dusk..

"Ka Dusk.. It's dark here.. Dawn fear"

I kept talking like that while crying and trying to move my body even though it was very painful.. And it seems like a lot of people are coming to hold my body so as not to move a lot. And suddenly there was a liquid that was put into my body through the injection and I became calmer.

>>News from Rusda<<'s view

I did not expect that in such a short time it could destroy the happiness I had just felt with Dawn.

He has been in a coma for almost a week now. I also don't know why he's been in a coma for so long. I was also injured at the time of the incident. The only survivors in the incident were me, Dawn and Mama. Daddy's? He was pronounced dead before being taken to hospital. Honestly, I was so sad that I didn't want to do anything about it.

I kept waiting for Dawn until we woke up. I don't want to lose him. He is like my own brother.

My mom did the same with me. He continued beside the bed of Dawn, expecting Dawn to wake up as soon as possible.

Suddenly Dawn moved her fingers. Not long after that, he opened his eyes.

At that moment, my mother and I held her hand and said her name. But he asked others. He kept mentioning the name Dusk while continuing to cry and rebel. I ran out to call the doctor and the nurse. Finally the doctor and the nurse came to inject a sedative to Dawn.

"What happened to my son Doc?" mama asked with concern

The doctor examined the Dawn for a moment.

"Sorry mom, mom's son is temporarily blind. Maybe it was due to the heavy stress factor he was experiencing."

Mama immediately closed her mouth while shedding tears that were getting louder.

"Sorry doc, the patient was aware but why the name he called someone else's name? It seems like she doesn't recognize my voice and my mother's"

"Maybe, he lost some of his memories as well. Because of a very hard impact on his head"

"But Doc, all of that can be cured right? Can it be like Doc?"

"Yes, but all that takes a long process"

I can only continue to hope and hope for a miracle to come to this family. And I'm so sorry for taking them for a walk. If I hadn't taken them for a walk, maybe none of this would have happened.

The To Be Continued....
