The September Tragedy
Headed Home

I turned my eyes to the front, and I saw that the front gate of the school was still tightly closed and locked. From far away it is no longer visible sir sapri school security guard, which is usually always ready to be on standby at the guard post.

Where's sapri sir ? I started to get confused and thought about how I would get out of this school environment. The school fence was too high, do I have to find first where did Pak sapr go ?.

A thousand questions perched in my head making me even more unsettled.

Without a second thought just follow a conscience. With all my might I ran towards the front of the school fence. By exerting

all the energy that I have is running towards the guardrail between the school yard and the highway in front of it.

As I got closer and my instincts moved faster, I climbed up and climbed up the very high school barrier. With all my strength and effort, I set my right foot last night at school. And trying to jump over a towering guardrail. My body felt light and floating, without me noticing the guardrail had already passed.

"Break...!"

I fell down on the front sidewalk of the school. I was just thinking about jumping up high, without thinking about how to land perfectly.

I looked back to look back at the guardrail of such a high school. "No I stirrup, I've jumped him."

As if I couldn't believe it, but I did.

I saw the situation around him, his condition was so chaotic. I saw there was a bus on the other side of the road that was tilted to the right to fall. The front and rear right tires are already on the sidewalk which is rather high, so that makes the bus body turn to the right.

Several motorbikes fell on the highway. Maybe the rider can not control the speed of the motorcycle when the earthquake is shaking violently.

There is also a big, luxurious and magnificent house like a palace, I don't think it will collapse. But what power, in a shake with a powerful earthquake like that, the luxurious house can no longer support its luxurious body as if it does not have the courage to fight the earthquake.

The entire vehicle on the road came to a standstill, no one dared to continue the journey. Perhaps fear, fear of aftershocks.

As I usually know, the earthquake always had aftershocks.

Even with a slightly smaller or larger vibration.

Everyone was seen with gripping faces of grief and their tears flowing. There are still many people who sit on the sidewalk of the road, they feel weak because they are shocked by the earthquake that shook quite violently.

I started to try to get up from my fall. I feel like there are some parts of my body that hurt. My pants look torn and my shirt buttons are missing because it was time to jump over the school fence. I try to move some parts of my body to stretch. After feeling enough and feeling that there was no fatal part in my hut of injury, I started to step home.

I want to go home as soon as possible to my hometown. I would love to meet my father, mother and daughter.

My sister's daughter is the only one I really care about, because my sister and I are so close.

I started dragging my footsteps towards the market. Because from the market there are cars that go to my hometown.

"Hopefully there's still some shuttles I can ride home to, that's all I have in mind."

I saw around, the house that collapsed was powerless to withstand the force of the earthquake that occurred. What a terrible earthquake that happened just now, almost all the houses were conquered by him.

The little boy was crying with a cry of fear on the side of the road while tightly hugging his parents. Maybe they don't know yet and don't understand what just happened.

While his parents tried to calm his son's sobs, even though they themselves were shedding tears.

The beautiful scenery I saw added to my concern for my family in the village. I immediately ran to the market to find an angkot that I could ride to my hometown. Although somewhat limped, finally with a little running I

also on the market.

The market atmosphere is chaotic. The asphalt road I saw something cracked. Some shops have collapsed and some have been flattened to the ground. Some are still standing, but here and there leave a considerable crack in the wall.

The atmosphere of panic was increasingly felt, when the road began to be passed by vehicles. Cars and motorcycles are driven at high speed by

the driver. Maybe they want to get home soon, want to know how the state of his family who was left when they

to market.

There is a mother who while running around screaming calling her son's name. Maybe he went to leave his son alone at home.

"Get there" across the street I saw a little girl running across the street crying both hands over her eyes. With a reflex, I immediately ran and jumped over him. Back I fell rolling down the road with the little girl in my arms.

You okay, okay ? while holding him to stand.

He just shook his head while looking me in the eye.

The little girl was about 9 years old with reckless eyes from crying.

The little boy answered his mother's question, it's okay, this Uda has saved Melly.

Thank you for saving my son. I saw the car speeding so fast when my son wanted to cross the road, so I shouted just now.

Fortunately there is you, if there is no you I do not know how the fate of my only daughter is.

Same mom, sorry I have to go home soon while passing by looking at them.

My mother shouted to me, You are a good man, may you always be lucky.

I just smiled at the kind words of the mother I saved earlier.

I kept walking towards the city transport terminal that led to my hometown, but there was not a single car I saw there. Day

it was getting dark, and now dusk was changing with night. Street lighting lights are all off, adding to the dark atmosphere tonight.

Without thinking any more, I immediately ran towards the direction home. It would be impossible for me to wait for a general nod to

I was riding, even though it hurt all over my body I did not mind that I had to keep running to get to the destination immediately.

In the dark of the night I continued to run regardless of the car or motor that was speeding on the road. I ran and kept running, until my steps stopped on a pic up car that stopped on the side of the road.

Several times the car in the starter but do not want to turn on. I walked up and asked, why bang his car ? strike yes.

la perhaps, it seems like the ignition is already soaked this. I'm asking you to please, help push my car ?

Come on, let me push the bang.

With a rush I headed to the back of the car and started pushing. It was a bit heavily pushed on its own, but with all my might I tried to keep pushing.

Slowly the car started to shift and walk. I kept pushing and started to go from the old slow getting louder.

Bruum,

Bruum,

Suddenly the car engine was on.

Thank you very much,

What is your name, Dik ?

Same with bang, same,

I am nauval bang. Whose brother's name ?

I am amirudin, just call me amir.

guess where is this sister going ?

Go back to town A sir.

Ride I want to go to town B, maybe can help a little ride for you even if only half way.

Thank you sir, I immediately opened the car door and sat next to the amir.

I continued my journey home with a car ride, Mr. Amir. In my heart I said, Thank God I can rest for a moment to release my fatigue and fatigue after a long run.

Where are you from dik ? Amir asked me.

From the school sir, said me while slightly closing my eyes.

Mr. Ami asked again, It's been night how did you just come home ?

I live in a boarding school, sir, want to go home to see the state of the family in the village.

Mr. Amir refocused driving, we were just as silent on the way. The car sped through the night sky and passed the vehicle that was lived by its owner and the house that was destroyed by the earthquake.
