The September Tragedy
BUYA LABAY

It's been five days, until now there has been no sign of my family's whereabouts. I was sitting in front of the cottage this morning.

Ummi came up to me and said; "Nauval has passed five days, maybe it is time for us to let go of our loved ones" My tears flowed upon hearing Ummi's words. But I see Ummi trying to stay strong in the face of all this, maybe he always tried to hide his sadness in front of his children.

"Alright Ummi" Showing my helplessness in accepting all these trials. It occurred to me that I would live alone without my parents and relatives. Looks like I'm going to be an orphan I thought for a moment.

"We hold a congregational occult prayer" said Ummi while standing straight passed to the shower to sit.

During the magical prayer, my tears continued to roll with a rush without me being able to hold back again. So did Ummi and his son I heard each other sobbing in tears. After the prayer, they embraced each other, while I was silent in deep sadness. My body felt weak and my mind was in a mess. I don't know where to go after this, do I stay here or go to another city ? This disaster has separated me from the people I love so much. I was just alone behind my own cottage trying to hide my sadness from everyone.

Suddenly I heard a voice....

Val. Nauval.., we have to go again Nurul said, disturbing my loneliness.

It was Nurul's voice that asked me to go to another village. I see Nurul has now changed to wear clothes with yesterday that I brought from the shelter tent. I saw her so beautiful this afternoon, like an angel descending from heaven. A little comforting my eyes that were dissolved in sadness.

"I take a shower and change my clothes first" I replied to him as I headed for the shower near me.

When I want to undress I glance

I saw Nurul still standing there.

"I want to take a shower, do you want to see me take a shower ? I said Nurul's padan while laughing.

His face immediately met red with shame at hearing my words.

"I'll get you a change of clothes" he said, passing away the embarrassment.

All the same towels, I said to Nurul.

Ok.., she nods her head while smiling sweetly.

A moment later Nurul was sticking out again carrying a shirt in his hand and the towel I ordered just now.

I saw Nurul amazed to see the muscles of my stomach without clothes.

Iihhh..., you pervert ya val dare to be naked in front of girls he said while closing his eyes with one hand, but interrupted between his fingers is still beautiful eyes peeking at me and I just smile

seeing behavior.

"This is his shirt and his towel is quick to shower, I wait in front" Nurul went straight from before me. Before he disappeared from view he glanced back and smiled at me.

I don't know with the max of that smile.

In the shower I smiled at my own smile remembering the incident.

It had been five days we were together to remember again the events when we fell together. At that moment he was flirting with my lips. Remember also when he swept the blood in my lips with his scarred hijab when Anto would-be fiance hit me suddenly.

I rushed to take a shower, because I didn't want Nurul to wait for me too long. After changing to a cleaner one I

hurried to the front of the cottage to meet Nurul.

He smiled at my arrival, his smile made my heart shake and my breath was no longer regular. Because of the taste that catapulted my heart.

This time I felt something like this. Am I really in love with her ? Thought....

"Let's go Val, I've said goodbye to Ummi earlier" If we're going back to the village Nurul said throwing a sense in my heart that had soared because of his smile.

I just nodded my head in approval.

"It's not afraid of falling anymore" I said trying to tease him while walking parallel without turning my head at all. He was silent, but a moment later I felt his hand hold my palm. I

"I have fallen, I murmured in my heart."

"The school in P town is beautiful and beautiful, Val" Nurul said, breaking the ice.

"la sister, beautiful as big sister" I replied.

"Have anyone been your boyfriend there, val?" he said while glancing at me.

"No brother yet" I answered briefly.

"But there's something you like" Nurul asked in full search.

"Sister" I replied with a smile to Nurul.

"What's the guy like, if I may know ?" Tanya Nurul with a pouting face.

"Like the person I'm holding his hand with" I said with a laugh and dared not look him in the face.

"Auu.I cried out in pain" Nurul suddenly pinched my hand with a bang.

I saw that he was down in shame hiding his red face. We continued walking towards the village.

On arrival in the village I heard screaming from many people.

"Buya Labay found, Buya Labay found."

Immediately Nurul and I ran towards the crowd. After close I saw the buya Labay had stretched stiff while clutching the scriptures tightly against him. His lips smiled slightly and there was not the slightest hint of dirt stains that littered his clothes.

Nurul's crying broke to see his body. She held me tight and leaned her head against my chest crying sobbing sobbing sob. Arrive

his body slid down and almost fell swiftly I immediately grabbed his waist to catch. It turned out that Nurul was unconscious and fell unconscious and immediately I raised the refugee camp.

I put him in a comfortable place and some of my mother's mothers asked me to look after Nurul. Before I went to the lodge to inform Ummi and Nurul's sister.

By running away I went to the cottage and from far away I was screaming.

"Ummi, Ummi, Abah has been found."

Ummi and Nurul's sister immediately ran to meet me.

"As for Abah, is he safe and well" asked Ummi after arriving before me. I just bowed silently and silently heard Ummi's question.

As if understanding with silence Ummi said.

"Had this morning let us take Val, let's go now between Ummi to see Abah for the last time".

I just nodded my head and looked Ummi so tough in the face of this ordeal. Four of them went with me, Ummi and his two sisters

Nurul headed for the village.

A moment later we arrived. Ummi was transfixed to stand looking at her husband's body while hugging his two children. They cried and hugged the body of buya profity.

And I immediately approached the limp-nurule helplessly seeing the fact that his brother was gone.

"Strong brother, I said."

But Nurul did not respond because so cruel to this incident, he was not able to say a word. I continued to accompany and embrace the nurul who was helpless to see his brother who had died.
