ABOUT YOU
Allah is All-Good
I just heard Karisa's confession a few hours ago. Now, other problems just arise and make my relationship with Karisa a little chaotic.
Actually, it feels like I beat up people who have spread my personal photos in the past. But, I can't. I don't know who the real culprit who wanted to destroy my relationship with Risa, also destroyed my good name in my school now.
Going alone is better than breaking up. I hope Karisa is a little wiser and mature in addressing our new relationship this corn-time. I know, Karisa hasn't had much experience with this kind of romance. I know, he must be confused, a dilemma, even his language is downcast.
Even if my relationship with Karisa has to end here. I am ready to experience that. Because a jerk like me, doesn't deserve a nice girl like Risa.
To be honest, I love Karisa. I don't know why it could happen in this short time, but I really don't want to lose him.
“Fan,” call nyokap who disperse all my daydreams about Karisa.
“Iya, Mom? What's up?” I asked when I saw him enter my room.
“There's your friend in front.”
“Who?”
“Seno.”
As soon as I heard the name Seno, I immediately rushed out to approach my old friend while in my previous school.
“Sen, how? My interest is there?”
“There. This is the original video of your fight last time. Fortunately, I immediately asked for the same original CCTV Asep sir. You see, the friend Sakti at that time had been to the CCTV room on the grounds that his phone was missing. In fact, he originally wanted to delete some pieces of video that became evidence that you are not guilty.”
I immediately received a CD from Seno. “Thank’s really, Sen. Elo bener-ener my savior this time.”
“Kalem aja, Bro. This is also there are some documents of the results of the examination of Sakti which he said until the concussion of the brain. Incidentally, the doctor who handled Sakti was my Om. So, I can see the original CT-SCAN. And, it turns out that he was not at all a concussion of the brain. It was just a minor injury and Sakti had lied to all of us by swapping the results CT-SCAN had him with someone else's.”
I received some documents that Seno submitted. Apparently, all this time I was innocent. I shouldn't have been expelled from my school. I should not have received a sentence of this magnitude that caused both of my parents great disappointment with my attitude.
“Sen, I don't know what else to say lo. Natur nohun pisan, I owe you the same lo, Sen.”
“Liet aja, Fan. And, you should also know one more thing. Who spread your personal photos in sosmed also about your fight video with Sakti, it's all the culprit Asti and Sakti themselves.”
“So, those who spread those photos and videos?” ask me the emotion with the chest starting to go up and down.
“Iya. My own friends heard their conversation about this incident. Now, let's solve your problems with them.”
“Thank’s really, Bro.”
“Sama-sama. Yes, I'm back, Fan.”
After the death of Seno, I immediately looked at the original documents and CCTV that Seno gave to me. Now, I just have to solve the pieces of unresolved problems. Thanks to Seno, now I know what steps I should take next.
I will not let Asti and Sakti ruin my happiness now. Because the pending facts will soon be revealed once I find these strong evidences. Just wait, the absolute victory will soon come to me.
“Arfan?” call someone who suddenly stood by the door of my house after Seno's departure.
“You? Why are you so late at my house?” ask me with a very low volume of voice once I see a woman with a touch of red lipstick on her lips.
“I miss you, Fan. Kangen same mom too.”
“Mending you home, deh. Before my mother saw you.”
“Fan, just this once. Let me meet my mother,” she said again pleading while grasping my wrist.
“Mending aunt went home before I drove out. Pliss, aunty home, yeah?”
“Sarah?” I was surprised to see a woman standing near me.
“Mother,” says Sarah sounds smoother.
“You're home, son?” ask her with teary eyes.
“Iya, Mom. Sarah came home to see mom, Arfan and Arini.”
“Alhamdulillah, finally you come home too, son. I miss you.”
Sarah ran up to nyokap and hugged nyokap so tightly while weeping her palms. A longing cry began to envelop my family. Their tears began to flood their eyelids. Seeing this rare event, I shed tears for the first time.
“Why did you just come home now, Sarah? Where have you been all this time? Do you know, mom, Arini, Ayu, Arfan, even the late father miss you a lot.”
“Sarah is scared, Mom. Sarah is afraid that she is no longer welcome in this house,” her tears back.
“Yes God, Sarah. The anger of the old man, they were only angry for a moment. No matter how bad you are, how good you are, you are still a son of a father and a mother. And, you remain the older brother of your sisters. No one's parents ever hated their children, they were angry because they loved their children. They care because they want to see their child happy.”
Sarah returned to shed her tears. He hugged her back so tightly because so longed she to nyokap. After Sarah's return home, I took Sarah to enter the house and asked her to tell him what had happened all this time.
Arini, who had just come out of her room, immediately ran up to Sarah and hugged her with longing cries that began to flood her cheeks.
“Tell us, Son. There is an incident that has happened in your life so far.”
Sarah began to tell everything slowly to nyokap. Starting from he knew Edo, his bastard girlfriend. Until he was almost entangled in drugs, cheated Edo, odd jobs to survive, until he was sentenced to Leukeumia by a doctor.
Upon hearing Sarah's pain, she nodded and Arini cried again. In fact, Sarah prostrated herself and held her nyokap feet to ask for her forgiveness. What really pisses me off here is Edo. He abandoned my brother, hurt my brother, even he has committed acts of violence against my brother.
Hearing the story, it felt like I wanted to beat up that jerk right now. But I asked him to stay calm. Nyokap said, angry do not be repaid with anger again. Nyokap also said, do’a was just Edo so that he returned to the right path. The most important thing now is Sarah's tea recovery. His health is more important than anything else.
“Maaffin Sarah Yes, Mom. Maafin teteh well, Rin, Fan. Make a promise, you will never leave you again. Tetah also promises to continue his life better than before. You guys want to help teteh?”
“Arini will always be there for you. What matters is that now we are healed. Next, later we think together.”
Sarah nodded her head and clasped Arini's hands tightly. The three of them hugged me so much that I could only lower my head and smile at him.
“You won't call teteh with aunty call again right, Fan?” sarah asked, opening my door.
“No,” answered me short while bowing my head in shame.
Sarah's tea came into my room and sat next to me holding my hand with her eyes flushed and teary.
“Help teteh to organize life teteh in a better direction, well? You also have to promise, ignore Edo and forget him. Now, your priority is only you. The devil wants to atone for sins. So, you don't look for Edo. For the sake of it, Fan. Forget him and ignore him.”
“Teteh is fine, right?” ask me and that's all I can say now.
“Teteh fine, Fan.”
“Alhamdulillah then.”
“Later, accompany the pilgrimage to the father's tomb, huh? Now, you sleep and tomorrow you must return to being the cheerful Arfan again. No more crying between us, there is only happiness.”
After saying that sentence, Sarah tea came out of my room to make me contemplate for a moment. My problems one by one began to be resolved and began to find common ground.
Apparently, God is still good with me. Behind the problems that are afflicting my relationship with Risa, there is still a light of happiness that I can begin to achieve.
“Can I get my happiness all at the same time? Risa, I miss you so much. Are you not the same as me?” I said slowly while staring at my photo with Risa who was on my study table with a soft look.
