“Mbak”
Tika appears in the doorway of Icha's room. Without replying, Icha gave the command signal for Tika to just go inside her room. Tika entered while closing the door.
“So not calling mbak Adel, mbak?” ask Tika.
“Udah mallem, Tik. Not good ah, bother people break”
“Yee. Adel's mother who mesen so. Entar thought Tika did not nyampein”
“He he's. Yes tomorrow let's just shoot the phone, mbak Adelnya. Poor mbak Adel junior, if the malem-malem taught further way. Where uj” again
“Yes, deh”
Tika went up to bed, after being tidied up by her brother. Icha was stunned. He spread his gaze across the room. With a smile he nodded his head.
“Why, mbak?” ask Tika.
“Nothing has changed” replied Icha.
“Yes. Tika bersihin's. But no one Tika fox”
“Still yes, dek”
“What the hell, mbak? Just clean up doang, kok”
Icha smiled to find her sister did not want to receive a prize, even just a thank you.
“Mother's sick, can you still joke like this, Dek? What's crying on?” ask Icha.
“That's Tika confused, mbak”
“Why?”
“Your mother gave me that, mbak. Rich scared of his father's disappearance. If Tika says anyway, take it off! difficult amat”
“Hush. What kind of idea is that? Rich is not a problem. The source of the problem is in the woman”
“That's right. Just fine, why?”
Icha gasped at her sister's answer. To speak of witchcraft means to speak of supernatural beings. Icha so remembered about the supernatural creature that had entered into his dream. It could be, if his father does not get married again, his mother's departure will begin with witchcraft or something like that. With a natural disease, it will be very long. It's not possible next year.
“Mbak?” reprimand Tika.
“Hem?” Icha snapped from her daydream.
“Kok even dumb?”
“Yes shoot again think of your idea it”
“Embak want execution of this idea Tika?” tanya Tika lirih's.
“Ish no, lah. The horror of rich toys. Wrong, even flipping to us”
“Ah, kirain” complains Tika.
“Ya already, deck. Don't have rich toys. After all, it's too late if we play beituan. We think another way”
“other ways how?”
“Main pretty”
“Hem?”
“Focus we are now mothers. How, we should be able to keep mom so that you can smile, joke, laugh. We make conditions, as if there is nothing.as the word, there is a father or not, we can still be happy”
“Where can a happy mother without a father?”
“Yes at the very least, we should be more extra patient. I don't want to, we also have to accept it. We try extreme steps, we make peace with the father, his new wife”
“Ah. What idea is it?”
“Let mom not senewen”
“Embak tuh, which makes senewen mother. Everything is into the sea. Are we the offspring of mermaids?” tika said with a amused smile.
“Kok knows, anyway?” ask Icha in shock.
“I mean shoot, that time who told you?” continued.
“Initially nothing. The last time the call was right, shoot the tape. Can't keep on the phone. Panic, mom. Calling the gunshot office, no one knows the number. Googling, dapet, no one scoops”
“Malem sih”
“That's him”
“Terus?”
“Mother calls bu Ratih. Coincidentally Budi again in Arjosari. Well, mas Budi asked for help his friend tuh, whose cement bu Nungki”
“Oh. Which assignment in Tangerang it?”
“He eh”
“Iya. I have never met also”
“That's right. But baby, now it is service in Pacitan also”
“Terus?”
“Ya connected to Tangerang. Directly sought after, said mas Budi”
“Live to meet? Far from kontrakan”
“That's him. Info from tangerang tuh, shoot go take cab”
“Oh. Someone saw, huh?”
“Kali”
“Terus?”
“Well, that's it, info from the police there, shoot last seen, again standing on the edge of the cliff. There's a guy who's nyamper. Said the surrounding residents, thought shoot again waiting for the guy. That's why no one responded. Eh yearya his body shot more tilted to the front”
“Terus?”
“But embak feel. Between conscious and not so”
“Iya. Info from sono, the guy goes jump. Shoot, that's it. Falling down, two-duning”
Icha mangosteen while sighing heavily.
“Luckily the guy's swimming pinter. So, just after fainting, shoot can be taken to the edge”
“Iya” sahut Icha while mangosteen.
“Udah. Brought, shot to hospital”
“Embak why the hell, how can it be rich? I just don't think you” Tika asked.
Icha didn't answer immediately. He looked into Tika's eyes fixedly for a moment. Then he breathed heavily.
“Embak can not deck, if you have to be angry rich you. Can't be told to explode so” replied Icha.
Tika did not interrupt. He was still waiting for the continuation of his brother's sentence.
“Udah did not count right, how many times I shoot talking slowly with my father, but I just do not want to be horrified. Yeah angry anyway, shoot. Shoots are usually just crying. Embak afraid if you have to talk rudely with father”
“Lha the last of it?” ask Tika.
“That's the peak, deck. It was accumulated from so many disappointments that shot pendam”
“Means?”
“Yes. First, about the work. The performance of the two-year work, which was completely without error, was not seen at all. Just because of three consecutive mistakes in the first smester of the year. Second smester, perfect shot again. But not considered”
“Because of the ship whose engine died in the middle of the sea is yes, mbak?”
“Yes. It was the most fatal” replied Icha.
“Badahan always give time to the company, much more than others. Because the shoot is not married, has not had a burden, sent anywhere, shoot never refused. Want three months without vacation also shoot never refuse. Want a place in the interior, in the middle of the forest, access must use the motor trail, far from everywhere, eat just the same garem. In the middle of the sea, ferocious waves almost swamped the deck, had to fast because the food supply was hampered by a storm. Never protested. But it's all unenviable. Sick know not anyway?” continue Icha. Something's expanding in his eye.
“Udah so, the malemnya, before you call, “ icah hang the sentence. Tika was curious.
“Get see guys 'shoot again messraan with other girls”
“Ha?”
“Iya. That guy, who did shoot. That's the guy embak”
“Kok can?”
“Ngot know” reply Icha. He sighed first, contemplating.
“Yes, he oversaturated same attitude shoot. Don't want to tell, but love sensi”
“Ya should know, dong? Time does not understand if the girl again there is a family problem?”
“Know. Probably wrong shot also”
“Yes his escape period with cheating? Will break up first, can?”
“That's him who shot doesn't understand. You know, just shoot him in the usual place we stop by after work, uh, he's spoiled with other girls. Whatever the reason, I swear, it hurts so much, dek”
“Ya Alloh. So that's what makes a dark eye shoot?”
“That time, not yet. Embak only felt if the shoot was rich in the position of mother, in duain”
“Eemm” comments Tika short.
“Peaknya, yes right you call it. Udah, like a dam, the incoming water is much more than it can shoot out. Midget, deh”
“Iya. Tika was also shocked when he shot talking about his history. Keep saying, this is the last time you heard the sound of Icha, Tika's feeling is not good, mbak. Moreover, the shoot until the beat continues to slam hape. Well, Tika is the first to panic, mbak”
Icha just nodded. Her tears rolled, and she immediately wiped.
“That's when, shoot already feel, no one else speeding shoot. No one wants to hear a gunshot. Co-workers, superiors, girlfriends, until the father himself does not want to hear the sound of gunfire. Embak already down really malem it”
“Ya Alloh. But shoot me can think of that, anyway?” ask Tika.
Icha did not answer immediately. He looked at Tika for a while, while recalling the events of that night.
“Ndon't know, deck. Embak also confused”
“Embak not feel that, followed something?”
“Clearned what?”
“Yes what cake gitu”
“Neg. Why emang? You can squirm that don't seem, so?”
“Neither”
“Terus?”
“Ya, the minister bu Nungki tuh, said same mother. There are beach residents there, who squirm, shoot the way to the edge of the cliff is not alone. There's an item guy who shot. But not everyone saw”
“Times anyway?”
“The report is, that is. Said the person who was squirming, the item guy, rich again hijak 'shoot chat, so”
“Astaghfirulloh. So at that time, Shoot influenced by demons?”
“I guess, gitu”
“Nobody ngingetin embak?”
“Yes probably because the squirming is still a boy, mbak. It's still three years. At first it was just a matter of course, he. When his parents said there was a guy who was nyamper, the boy said, there was another guy who had been chatting with 'shoot since the beginning of dateng”
“Ya Alloh. So that item guy really exists?” icha Comments.
“Emang Shoot tofu?”
“The rumors, anyway. Said the rented neighbors, the block we live in, there's a waiter, man, his body a legume item ngalahin people leather item”
“Ya Alloh. Good thing embak still selamet” comments Tika.
Icha did not answer. His mind floated in remembrance of events after events six months ago. There was a sense of regret, having followed his anger and not pronouncing Istighfar.
