Eps. 27
Since it was getting dark, I decided to take a break. Maybe tomorrow my message has been answered by Rendy. These eyes are no longer able to wake up. I finally closed my eyes for a short break tonight.
A car traveling at moderate speed. I didn't see any passengers in the car. What I saw was the faintest of two young men who were not strangers to me.
When driving on the highway, a bus from the opposite direction is traveling at high speed. It looks like the bus lost control until it went off the track and there was a consecutive accident.
There were several cars that were victims of the bus. Among them is a sedan car driven by two men. I still can't see clearly. My view is very blurred.
There were sirens of ambulances and police cars from a distance. The sound came closer and made me wake up from sleep. It turns out it was all just a dream.
It was morning, seen the sunlight entering through the glass gap. I swiped the phone screen, it turned out to be seven in the morning. I opened whatsap app, not a single message came in from Rendy. His number has not been active until now.
My feelings are becoming more and more unsettled. I remember that dream last night. A consecutive accident on the Semarang toll road. I immediately searched for information on social media. And I finally got that info.
It turns out that it is true, there has been a consecutive accident on the Toll Road yesterday afternoon. There were several fatalities. Among them, five people were seriously injured, eight were slightly injured, and two died on the spot.
I was very panicked at once. I immediately contacted my best friends, Rere and Andry to make sure that Rendy and Arya had reached home. I sent Rendy's address to both of them.
While waiting for news from my best friend, I tried to calm my mind. I hope Rendy and her sister are okay. But this feeling is still not calm.
Appetite is lost, want to go very heavy once it feels. An hour, two hours, three hours later I got word from my best friend. Rere sent me a photo that appeared on Rendy's home page.
Tub struck by lightning in broad daylight. As if I didn't believe what I saw. Lots of wreaths on display in the yard of Rendy's house. There were many guests in black clothes. And in front of the house appears a yellow flag with a written auction.
[Beb, you have to be strong. You must be patient in facing this goal.]
[What is this, Re? Tell me what's going on! Who died? Rendy and Arya are fine, right?]
[Cha, Rendy and Arya were the victims of a consecutive accident on the motorway yesterday afternoon.]
[They survived, right. They're okay, right?] My mind is starting to calm down.
[Cha, Rendy is now at the Hospital. He had a pretty bad impact. Still in a coma to this day. As for Arya, she died from her severe injuries.]
[You're not kidding anymore, are you?]
[Cha, what are we kidding for.]
[It's impossible, Re. I still can't believe it. Okay, I'll be back to Semarang soon.]
[Please Cha, let you see for yourself directly.]
I'm not answering any more messages from Rere. I immediately took a shower and packed up and prepared to leave for Semarang. My mother was confused, seeing me who was panicking and in a hurry.
"Kok wants to go. He said it's still two days here?"
"Mom, there's no news. That's why I have to leave now to make sure."
"Yes mom, this is very serious. I got word if Rendy was in an accident. That's why I have to check if it's true."
"Astagfirullah, yes it's there you leave immediately. Be careful on the road, when you get to tell mom."
"Yes, mom. I'm leaving first. Assalammualaikum."
"Getishalight."
I kissed the back of my mother's hand and then I rushed away in a hurry. It only takes ten minutes to get to the highway. And I stopped the public bus to go to Semarang.
During the trip, I opened the photo gallery. I looked at each photo of Rendy. I remember a historic night with him. Where first I gave my chastity to her.
I don't feel these tears just dripping. I can only hope and pray that everything will be fine.
The journey is finally over. I have arrived in Semarang. I'm looking for an ojeg to take me to Rendy's house. It didn't take long, I got ojeg. And I finally got to Rendy's house.
The feeling is exactly the same as the photo Rere sent via cellphone earlier. There are many guests, and many bouquets lined up in the courtyard. I walked, and ventured to enter the house.
"Assalammual."
Everyone inside looked at me. They answered my greetings. Rita's mother approached me and hugged me.
"Mom, is everything okay?"
Miss Rita didn't answer my question. He just cried and hugged me.
"Mom, I'm sorry. If yesterday's show hadn't taken place, maybe this wouldn't have happened. Sorry mom, it's all my fault."
I have no power to hold back tears. Our crying broke again. Miss Rita hugged me tighter. He stroked my hair with great affection. Like loving your own son."
"No, son. It's not your fault. This is all fate. Maybe Aryan's age just got here. You are not wrong, my dear. Don't hurt yourself like this."
"If yesterday's show was pushed back, this wouldn't have happened ma'am."
"Already, son. It's not your fault. This is indeed the desire of Rendy to immediately confuse you. Stop blaming yourself. I've let iklas let Arya go."
"Then what about Rendy, Mom? She's okay, isn't she?"
"Rendy's still unconscious, son. You better calm yourself first. You rest first. Tomorrow we're the same as Rendy."
I followed what Rita's mother said. I try to calm down as calmly as possible. I sat near Arya's body. I can't hold back my tears until they just flow.
I opened the scriptures and I read him a short letter.
Until the funeral finally arrived. I went to the final resting place for Arya. Until this moment still can't believe, he's gone this fast. We just met and talked yesterday. It was the last day we met.
I can only pray in my heart. May God forgive all your mistakes. And may you rest there Arya Hadinata. I haven't been your brother-in-law yet, but you've gone before the Power.
