Mysterious Gus
#30. Farel Go
..."Going is not my wish, but if I stay here, I will become more and more a creepy figure."...
...Farelle...
The sun has already revealed its light in the beautiful sky. The sound of the chickens that were supposed to decorate the morning changed with the noise of vehicles in the capital. Farel's quiet morning also had to be disturbed because of the crowded house.
Farel climbed the stairs to the front room in his jeans and white hoodie. Not to forget a cellphone that is the focal point at this time, heed the noise he began to approach.
I don't know what the man saw on the phone, but a bitter smile was engraved on his lips that rarely formed that smile.
"Why lo? Early in the morning, crumpled to his face, "the question shifted Farel's focus from his phone, he didn't realize his feet were already carrying his body into the vestibule.
"Again" Farel did not answer Dylan's question and said hello.
"By the morning too,"
"Lo not school?"
Farel shook his head, "Gue wants to go, for a second,"
"Where are you going? We're coming!" Yusuf's voice was answered firmly by Farel.
"School!" Telak Farel made his four friends swerve.
"Where are you going, Rail?" Now change the umma who asked.
"Grandfather Xander,"
"alone?"
"Si Farel is like a little boy, so asked, Om," Adam sneered.
"Ck, he said if not asked would not say. You can't go home all day" decak Hutama.
"Assalamu'alaikum, good morning," the voice shifted their attention and found Tiam bowing her head to Farel.
"Wa'alaikumussalam, good morning too,"
"You want to go with Farel?" Raima asked who only answered a nod by Tiam. Not polite, but the personality of the man is as he pleases.
"Oh, yeah, breakfast here!" Tiam glanced at Farel, asking for approval from his master, while the one who was stared at just nodded.
"So said Bik Imar, your fried rice is still being made," Farel nodded and without saying much directly towards the kitchen which Tiam followed.
"It's like a big tail where Farel went, we're gonna cower" Dylan said.
"Why? Jealousy huh, Bang?" Monika's ejek that makes Dylan screech.
"Who is he?"
"We also know less. The first time we saw also the incident in the pesantren. Just like Xander. Just Xander said, Tiam is his belief," explained Hutama.
"Xander that too! Who are they really?!"
"Stop it. Farel never told the story," Hutama replied again, but with a sad look. There was a pain in his heart at the thought that he did not fully understand about the son.
"Who I am and Mr. Xander is not important. Most importantly Mr. Asz was safe with us," Tiam came with a plate of rice in his hand and sat down next to Milea, as that was where the empty space was left.
"Why did you call Farel by that strange name?"
"I want to" replied Tiam who was eager to make Adam punch Tiam's stiff face.
"Stay away from my Milea!" Dylan exasperated and forced himself to sit between Milea and Tiam.
Tiam glanced cynically and shifted, "I won't want to go near either,"
"Why do you sit on my Milea deck, huh?!"
"I think you can see that there's no more empty space than beside him" Tiam's circus made them laugh, especially seeing Dylan's sour face.
"Why?" Tanya Farel came with Bik Imar and sat in the middle with her leisure.
"Who the hell is he, Rel?! Very nice," to Dylan.
"Tiam" Farel rebuked as if understanding that his best friend was jealous of his closeness and Tiam's.
Tiam lowered his head a little, "Sorry," he said, which was greeted with annoyance by Dylan.
"We have to leave in ten minutes, sir," said Tiam glancing at his watch.
"Hm," Farel replied indifferently and ate leisurely.
"What do you want to do with Xander's place?"
"Main,'
"Long lo!" Farel simply glanced and returned indifferently.
"Master, I'm ready. Any stuff to bring?" He got up from his sitting position.
"My brother, it's in the room,"
"Well, I'll take it," the old man headed for Farel's room, while Farel was chuckling while gulping at his milk.
"What are you taking to Om Xander's place?"
"That's a big deal," ledek Farel.
"Gue was curious, not kepo," saying that Dylan was the solution for Farel.
"Hm, come!"
"Good,"
"Well, Ma, Farel is gone" said Farel.
"Yes, you guys be careful. Don't be late, home,"
"Yes. Bik, Farel's gone,"
"Yes, Den. I'd like to go a long way until Aunt's hug,"
Farel smiled faintly in the arms, "Aunti kangen you see, Farel came home from the mall,"
"Yes-yes, be careful,"
"Hm, Dek, Brother go first. Don't be naughty!" Farel's message to his two younger brothers.
"We're not naughty," the two replied annoyedly, Farel chuckling at her.
"Gue go wait, take care of my brother!" now Farel changed to give trust to his best friend.
"Ck, your habit makes me parnoan! We usually take care of it too! Uda, sana, go lo! Horror I'm horrified your saying," Dylan pushed Farel's body away.
"Cih, assalamu'alaikum,"
"Wa'alaikumussalam,"
Tiam lowered his head politely and followed Farel's footsteps without much talking, without caring about their questioning gazes.
"Are you sure of this choice?" Tiam asked as he opened the car door for Farel.
"I had no other choice, Tiam. There Ae Ri needs me. I need time to get on with this, too,"
"Master is not alone. I will always be with you, sir,"
"I can be there myself. You just need to prepare everything and some people. Your next job is to look after them as long as I'm gone,"
"Of course, Sir. But, what about Mr Xander?"
"That's enough we know. Grandpa Xander didn't even know. As much as you can manipulate my departure from him,"
"Good, Sir. Then, what about Miss Fisha?"
"All I leave to you, Tiam. Including Fisha. Don't call me no matter what! Just give the information to the man there. I want to spend time with Ae Ri,'
"Well, you can leave everything to me, sir,"
The car stopped at an international airport. There are many people there, both from outside and within the country. Too many of them not playing.
Tiam opened the door for Farel. There was sadness in the heart of the stiff-faced man. His master has gone through many difficult things and now must prepare for all the more difficult possibilities.
"Do I need to drive to my destination?" Tawar Tiam's.
"no need. Just get here. Later that night, please give them this letter" Farel handed them a black envelope.
"good. You're fine there. Call me if you need anything,"
Farel nodded with a faint smile and hugged the person, "I trust you, Tiam,"
"I'll miss you, sir,"
"You know where I am, Tiam. I'll be fine. Take good care of Xander,"
"I'm not afraid of him" Tiam replied with a twilight, but his eyes turned red.
"You can't cry because of me. I'll go first, assalamu'alaikum,"
"Wa'alaikumussalam's chat. Let me know when it's here,"
"Hm," Farel answered briefly and the two parted at the airport entrance.
Tiam looked down at Farel's straight back. The tears that he had been holding back from earlier, finally fell down as well.
"In fact, I can't hold back these tears, sir. May your life be better there," muttered Tiam back to the parking lot with a troubled mind.
Twenty minutes had passed since Tiam parted with Farel. Tiam was still faithfully standing at the side of his red car with a look at the sky and reddened eyes.
Not long after, the plane passed in the beautiful sky, but not for Tiam. The sky today was very sad for him.
"I'll miss you" said Tiam and got into his car, leaving the airport.
Tiam sighed, "Your job is only up to here my beloved car. Your last task is to deliver our Master" said Tiam brought his beloved car to a spacious and quiet place.
The man took gasoline from the trunk of the car, not forgetting there was a mancis in his hand. Tiam with mixed feelings watering his car with gasoline it. Even her tears did not dry up. No matter what Farel's message was, he still wanted to cry. He did not know when else he could meet the loved ones who interceded for his salvation in the past.
WUUSSHH!!
The fire immediately flared up as Tiam threw his francis. Tiam squatted before the huge fire without a care of the earthy explosion devouring his car. His hands were moving through his own hair.
"YARGHH!!!" Tiam yelled in frustration.
"I don't want Mr. Lazlo getting sicker, Lord,"
Tbc...
