"Gue said.. If there's a wedding there should be a first night!"
Zul jerks. Face pias.
"Lu crazy ya bang,..lu ngajarin so same 8 year old little boy!!! ******* you!!!"
"Gue Belom done talking Zul' time!" Firman rejects Zul's undeniable accusation.
"Yes, you made me a senewen bang!"
".... It was my fault! I'm just kidding. We also decorate bamboo cots in Akis' father's garden like a wedding bed. Pack the flowers."
"A did I make a fatal mistake?" Zul stuttering. It was as if he could sense that he had been evil to Akis.
The silent word did not dare to continue. Zul took the glass that was still in the hand of the Word. Half the water was boiled to eliminate his nervousness.
"That time, Akis opened her panties,"
"Udah, no. Don't be kicked!!! I am guilty of great guilt. I sin!!"Zul closed his face annoyed. His heart ached knowing his kebobroinya.
"Lu cry until I'm done, Zul! Don't hear half stories!!"
Zul squatting in a corner with his hands closed. Shame on himself.
"Lu don't touch Akis at all!! It just so happened that in Akis there was blood, Zul!"
Zul looked up at the face of the Word. Trying to find the truth.
"Why does Akis bleed??"
"It turned out that the first day of Akis came the moon."
"A 8-year-old has arrived for the month??"Zul ensures the Word.
"Where do I know? The first menstrual cycle of a woman is different. You didn't study biology at school?" answer the Word out loud. He was upset and amused to see Zul who looked fragile because of guilt.
"But it was precisely that, you, Akis, including me the same others were shocked. You scream for help! Because there are Akis' brothers, Ali and Arif. They were angry that his brother was bleeding. We were all hit including you Zul who ran away in fear, but continued to be chased, beaten until falling slipping into the cliff." Zul. Cute lips. Like a replayed cassette. All in his memory.
"Akis screaming. If no one is hurt. But it's all gone. You glide free down the hill. We're all on trial at the village office. My father was just like Akis baku hit a storm debating each other. While you're completely unconscious with a badly leaking head until surgery. You're in a coma for a month. Sampe moved to Jakarta Hospital. Since that incident, your family moved to Jakarta. Never again stepped on Pandeglang."
Zul took a deep breath. All along, his memory was gone. It turns out that was the beginning of the cause of the moses he retrograde amnesia.
Zul breathed a little relief. He could not imagine himself who was 8 years old, but could have done indecent to girls his age.
"How's Akis now, bang?" ask Zul to know.
"Acis your school, Zul! Graduated this year, though it seems like a psychic burden continues to haunt him. He turned 180 degrees. Akis never spoke. Even school. Some say, Akis became mute since screaming at the time of the incident. He only answered in sign language. School grades are also good. Maybe if he is not the child of the people, the possibility of Akis can drop out of school. But his father catrol him in his school because of the position factor."
"Lu likes to talk to Akis?"
"Hahaha, boro-boro, Zul! Akis was never at his house. He moved in his grandmother's house in Dukuh Atas. Different villages with where we used to be. That's why I rarely see Akis."
"But his family is still in our village, right?" ask Zul again.
"Yes. His father is now in our place. Not Lurah anymore..... Butiii, by the way you've taken all of Zul???" The word behind the question. He was surprised to see Zul could ask everything as if remembering the past.
"There are some who remember. But forget the faces of those people including Akis."
"Don't be too hard remembering, Zul!!!"
Zul and Firman were shocked. Zul's mother was already in Zul's room.
"Sorry, anti!!! The Word has told all to Zul," said Word slowly. Head lowered.
"Whenever we close, Zul will know. Anti ga angry koq, only anti and om pingin protect Zul aja. Not to lie to Zul. Because the doctor said, everything traumatic past could endanger Zul's life. That's why we just kept quiet. Zul also never asked at all let alone discuss his past." explained the gentle mother. His hand rubbed Zul's shoulder. Like trying to calm Zul down in his own way. Zul just fell silent not answering. He was not angry with his mother's father. He's just confused.
"But since his memory puzzle began to slowly compose with his headache, Zul often asked his mother. I was confused where the story started. For that, anti-grateful Word has told everything very well. Anti herself won't be able to tell Zul the sad story right." Zul's mother smiled to make the Word feel better.
"Zul is 3 months apart with Akis. Actually, Akis' mother and mother were very good friends. Dad was transferred to Pandeglang long before Papa Firman moved there. Therefore, early on mother became a citizen there, mother familiar with her mother Akis. In addition to our close neighbors, we were pregnant almost simultaneously. Be the mother and mother Akis is getting closer. Chat, vent, even check the content of midwifery is always the same. You were born 3 months ahead of Akis. You were born in the same maternity home, taken care of by the same midwife. So you grew up together, Zul! That's why there's always Zul near Akis. Because you are so close to each other. Until we forget, until we ignore if you grow up playing more than we imagined."
"Mother blame the Word bang!!! He's the culprit!!" show Zul to come again to the Word.
"The president has already got his sentence, Zul! I think the Word is more sorry than mother." The Word lowered his head even deeper. It is true what his mother Zul said. He felt tormented because his father no longer cared about him.
"That's it!! That time has passed. Go sleep! It's 11 o'clock in the night, boy! I'm just here to make sure Zul takes his medicine. Already?"
"No, yet" Zul smiled. He rushed to get his medicine and drank it immediately.
"Mom wants Zul healthy again. I can play like before. Take a lot of positive activities. These few months my mother is sad, Zul is just wandering around the house. Can't go anywhere for fear of relapse. That's why Zul has to step up said Reyvan. Take your medicine on time!" mom lectured Zul. Zul hugged his mother tightly. He used to do that even though he was an adult. Word mocked him by calling him, "baby mother". But Zul doesn't care. He was even more spoiled for his mother made Firman envious to enter into his blanket pretending to sleep.
