The Love of Two Brothers (Collapse of the Rinjani World)
3. Mystery messages
In the morning, the atmosphere outside the house looks quite cloudy. Wind gusts do not stop blowing loudly, flying dry leaves that are no longer able to depend on the twigs. The sun that should have started crawling up also seemed embarrassed to just show the warm rays. Meanwhile, in a room that looks quite large and spacious, apparently there is a girl who looks to be blinking both eyes. His head moved slowly to the right and to the left with both hands raised upwards to relax the muscles of his body that felt quite relaxed after a night of deep sleep.
"Hoamms!" Rinjani grabbed the small clock stored on the table right beside her bed. He saw an analog clock that turned out to still show at 06.45 am. Feeling that the day is still quite early, Rinjani intends to continue sleeping for just a few minutes. He put the small clock back to its original place before his hand tried to reach the blanket that had run everywhere. Drawn blanket chrysanthemum flowers hers until now the fabric has been wrapped tightly wrapped her small body. Only leaving the head that looks poking out. Feeling so peaceful, Rinjani so enjoyed the warm roll of blankets that it made him not yet aware of something. Seen from the face of my love that looks ordinary as if it does not have any burden in his life. Yeah, that pretty face doesn't look like someone who's sad.
Just a minute lazing on the mattress, suddenly Rinjani stepped up in shock, like there was an alarm that automatically lit up in his head. And he just remembered that today he had a promise with someone. "Oh my goodness, I'm dead!!!" he scratched it on himself before jumping a little from the top of his bed. Rinjani hurriedly ran towards the bathroom which fortunately was still inside her private room. With a super fast movement Rinjani began to wash his face with cold water and continued by cleaning his teeth originally. Feeling that her appearance had returned fresher, Rinjani rushed out of the bathroom and walked towards the door of her room.
"Ayahhh ... Today Dad so right nganterin Jani to Maura???" rinjani shouted while looking for her father's whereabouts at the dinner table, "Where is Dad? Tumben's clock isn't on the dinner table yet."
"Bwwuu! Where is my breakfast? How come we haven't caught it yet, Mom? Jani was laper, nih.." Did not get any answers, making Rinjani intend to go to his parents' second room.
"Where the hell it is, it's quiet!" Rinjani felt astonished herself at the situation of the house that felt so quiet. As if there were no signs of life in his house. Though usually every time he wakes up, the condition of the house is crowded considering both parents always wake up early. Even every time he went to the dining table, Rinjani immediately excited to see the various food menus that have been seen filling the table. It's very different this morning. The house looks lonely, the dining table is empty, the tv screen is still dark perfect. And most noticeably different, he did not hear or see any signs of the existence of his mother's father.
Realizing that, suddenly a strange and uneasy feeling began to ambush his soul. His gaze turned pushy, his tiny mouth seemed to begin to tremble. Even his footsteps turned heavy, like something was holding back his leg movements. And sure enough, glimpses of the events after the events of yesterday instantly popped up filling his head. Everything looks so real like a television show that in an instant managed to make him scream hysterically.
"No!!! Ibuuu! Daddyhh! Why do you have to leave Janiii!!!" At once Rinjani's body slid down. Without being asked her tears fell again accompanied by a crying voice that sounded so heartbreaking. In an instant his world turned pitch-black as if no more light was capable of providing illumination to his soul. Something hit hard on his soul niche. His heart ached, as if pierced by an invisible sharp object. How this fact made him fall into the pit of pain. Yes, the departure of his parents clearly made his world collapse instantly into rubble.
"Well .. Ibuuu .. take Jani away, Buuu. Jani alonenn, Jani takuuttt.." Rinjani still touched the nelangsa along with the door of the house that opened from the outside.
"Sayanggg, I'm coming." said Hendra excitedly. He glimpsed two small paper bags hanging on his left hand, which immediately managed to bring a smile to his handsome face. "Darling, where are you???"
With a feeling of pleasure, Hendra continued to carry his steps towards the stairs before his movements suddenly came to a halt as soon as his ears noticed the sound of crying from the direction of the dining table. And sure enough, he was immediately made worried to see the existence of Rinjani who was crying on the floor.
"Loh, Honey! Why are you???" Panicked Hendra just ran to hug Rinjani who was still resting on the floor with a face that had been soaked.
"Janiii, why are you crying here? Come banguuun. I'm sorry I'm late." Hendra's hands didn't stop wiping away the tears that kept falling.
"They're gone, Ndraaa. Huuuuu..uuu." Rinjani poiu who immediately get a warm embrace of her lover.
Hendra himself was devastated to see the condition of his lover like this. His puffy face, his messy appearance, even his voice had sounded hoarse. I don't know how long Rinjani spent crying like this.
Guilt began to stir in Hendra's mind. He hugged Rinjani tightly and touched Rinjani's long hair with his other hand. Hendra occasionally gave a kiss at the top of Rinjani's blindfolded head, as if holding the world in his inner being in revolt.
Seeing her frail lover, Hendra decided to hug Rinjani in full and bring her body to the room.
"Don't cry, honey. We go to the room and you have to calm down. After that, I'll give you food. I don't want you to get sick, Jan ...," said Hendra affectionately.
Rinjani only felt resigned in Hendra's arms, but she could still see the fog of sadness that filled her lover's eyes. Rinjani's cheeks felt wet and so did Hendra's face.
"Please sit here, I'll prepare warm water for you to take a bath" Hendra said with full attention.
Not long after, Rinjani came out of the bathroom with a much better appearance than before.
Nearby, Hendra prepared food for Rinjani. After Rinjani finished cleaning herself, Hendra led her to the sofa and gave her food.
"I can eat by myself, Ndraa ...," Rinjani said quietly.
"Yes, I know. But let me feed you this time, Aaa' .." said Hendra, giving Rinjani some food. "Pity, you're starving, dear …"
"You don't eat?" ask Rinjani.
"I had breakfast. I'm not hungry that much, honey …."
Suddenly, Hendra's cell phone rang. He handed the food plate to Rinjani and opened the message on the newly installed green app.
[When do you want to go, baby? You remember right? Two more days left.]
