63. Strange Whispers
After her daughter dies Sarah's life becomes erratic to express her feelings. When friends at work tried to comfort her, Sarah still could not get rid of her sadness.
Sarah always tries to be sincere with what God's destiny gives her, but somehow it feels like Sarah still hopes to be with Riana who is no longer in this world.
It is an impossible thing to happen in this world, but it can happen if Sarah follows Riana died.
The days passed by Sarah was very quiet and also sad, every night Sarah will continue to cry when she saw the photo of Riana.
Only a photo full of memories can make him happy when he misses his daughter.
"Mom kangen you An." Lirih Sarah who just kept crying, while hugging the photo of Riana.
It felt like survival became difficult and useless because Sarah did not have any relatives. Because Sarah is basically an orphanage child who when he was an adult tried to live independently.
Therefore he did not have any family plus the place now occupied is not his birthplace. Sarah lives in this city because she tries to give her daughter the best to be free from the shadow of her dark past.
A marriage that can not last long and the stupidity that Sarah did in the past.
Because too tired to cry without feeling Sarah began to fall asleep, and slowly entered into the dream world.
Where in his dream Sarah saw there was a girl who seemed to wait for his presence, as well as a sad look from the girl. The girl looks beautiful but with a moody face, because it does not bear Sarah to try to approach the girl.
But when Sarah approached instead of the more obvious the face of the girl, but instead it looked the face of the girl became blur.
"I miss Mamah." Although it sounded like a whisper, Sarah could hear clearly what the girl was saying.
Somehow seeing the girl made Sarah so reminded of Riana, when Sarah's body was getting closer Sarah heard a voice again but not from the girl.
"Go home! There's someone waiting for you there." Sarah immediately woke up from her sleep and looked around no one there, but somehow the whisper sounded very real in her ear.
When Sarah was immediately made to creep, was it a ghost? And what does that whisper mean?
"Where to? And who's waiting for me?" Wonderful Suggestion on himself who tried to understand the meaning of the message.
"Is that Riana waiting for me in Heaven? So I should go too?" Monologue Sarah is back.
Sarah continued to struggle with her thoughts, her brain was now only filled with trying to understand the whispers.
The next night, Sarah had a dream about the girl. But now looking happy even though Sarah could not see her face clearly, Sarah knew the girl was happy.
"Go home to the place where your life began! Where happy and sad meet, where you are very happy and hurt at the same time." The whisper reappeared.
Makes Sarah think back to it, "Where's a place like that?" Now Sarah is more curious about every puzzle given by the person in her dream.
The dream happened almost every night, where when Sarah wanted to sleep the dream came immediately. Sarah always records every word she has in her dream, until finally a culmination of the last dream that determines everything.
"It's a place where you and your daughter were born. Good luck." It was the last whisper Sarah got and this time Sarah could guess right away.
Xxx town, where she and her daughter were born. A city where there are a million memories and sadness, where the city is a place.
Curious about who was waiting for her, Sarah decided to come to the City even though she later had to get hurt again due to circumstances.
"Hopefully I can meet that girl, and I hope I never meet that guy." It was Sarah who tried to strengthen herself in order to go to the city with a large chest.
Finally Sarah returned to the City to resolve her curiosity.
***
The next day Sarah was in the city, where much had changed. Naturally, almost 17 years old Sarah left her birthplace, because she died in this city right after Riana was born.
Sarah continued to explore the streets there while continuing to look at the circumstances around her. And after running far enough away Sarah arrived at a minimalist house owned by her, which already looks not worth using. Where the roof and the interior of the house that can collapse at any time.
"I think I should stay at the nearest inn." Sarah's mind after seeing the state of her own home, especially when looking at the house next to her also looks empty but still maintained.
Before Sarah was about to leave, there was someone who approached her with an unbelieving face. Similarly, Sarah who also did not expect to still be able to meet with people who have been considered as parents, strangers who consider each other relatives.
"Bi Julia?"
Without much time the person called Bi Julia immediately approached Sarah and hugged her. Without realizing the tears fell from both because they felt happy and sad at the same time.
"Where have you been...hiks? Why is hiks never pu-lang..? Bi Julia asked as she looked at Sarah sadly evident from her tears that kept coming out.
They kept hugging each other while crying haru, "already. Let's go inside first!" Take Bi Julia to Sarah, who they both walk into the house with.
"Sit down here? Auntie's gonna grab some water for a second."
"No need to Bi, afraid of being troublesome."
"Hey, you're just like everyone else. Are we already strangers?" Bi Julia said with a face that was now a little angry when she heard what Sarah said.
"I don't mean that I ha-"
"Have, wait a minute!" After saying that in a hurry, Ms. Julia went to the kitchen to take water and food.
It does not take time for Bi Julia to come back with a tray in her.
"I said no need to Bi. Why bother?" Sarah was not feeling well.
"Silent. And let's drink first, you must be very tired on the way here."
Not wanting to make Bi Julia angry, Sarah immediately drink the water because it may be honest Sarah also felt thirsty suddenly.
"Thank you Bi."
"Sama-sama, there is no need to hesitate. You're still my aunt as her own child. Oh yeah, where's your daughter? Why not come too?"
Instantly Sarah was immediately saddened by Riana who had not existed a few months ago, seeing the look on Sarah's face that became sad made Bi Julia worried.
"What's going on?"
"A-anna.su-dah hiks no. There's Bi hiks..."
With a hiccup Sarah spoke, now Sarah's shoulders are shaking.
"Why can?" Bi Julia asked when she heard this news, so many things were missed during these 17 years of knowing.
Sarah began to tell how Riana had an accident and was pronounced dead. And do not forget the reason that made him come back here, because a dream that continues to approach him every night.
Someone who always tells Sarah to go home to this city, the city where she was born and purged.
"You're patient, we pray Anna, please be calm in the night. Do not be sad! It must be up there Anna wouldn't like it if she saw you like this." Said Bi Julia who tried to look at Sarah and try to affirm will be able to accept this reality sincerely.
"But for some reason, I think the girl I've always had in my dreams is my daughter Anna. Although I can't see it clearly, but I'm absolutely sure that it's Anna Bi."
Yes, after several times have met Sarah felt like a girl he met in a dream like mendaing his son but with a different face.
"How come? Your daughter has calmed down, there is no way she can still be in this world."
The words of Bi Julia returned to the reality that happened, indeed at the beginning also Sarah thought like that. But somehow the feeling can never lie if he still believes that it is Riana but in other people.
"Not think about it too much! Now you just take a break here."
"No, I'm going home to my own house."
"And let your body fall apart." Sela Bi Julia quickly, because she also knows how Sarah's home is.
Sarah, who was listening, understood what Bi Julia meant. And now he is also confused what to say.
"It has. You can stay in this house, after all Aunt and Uncle rarely come home."
"Where does Auntie live?"
"Auntie lives more often at Aunt's employer's house, and only occasionally returns here."
"Does Aunt still work that dimension?"
"Yes, of course. Aunty never moved or even got out of there, because after all Auntie had an obligation to keep the children from Aunt's employer."
"Why is that?"
"You know? A long time after you were born, Bibi once said that Bibi's employer would give birth. And Bibi's employer died immediately after giving birth to her daughter, so from that day Aunt was given a message to look after her child."
"It's a pity, for sure now the purist never gets a mother's affection."
"Yes, it's fate like that. Looks like your purti and Aunt's master are the same age, and she has the same nickname. Namely Anna, Riana your daughter's name is Zeana's Bibi's employer's daughter."
"Zeana?" I looked down at Sarah, who somehow felt something strange when she heard the name.
After talking that Sarah was immediately told to rest her body first because it had passed the journey far enough.
