A Wounded Life
Promos
"Happy Birthday My Bestfriend" they said with a big smile because they managed to surprise me
"Oh thank you" I said with amazement
Fera, Ana, Nara was my first friend and friend when I entered high school in Junior High School
"Happy birthday to Ra" Ana said
Not only my best friend but all my classmates also participated in this surprise
Each year we take turns to celebrate each other's birthdays
A cake in the hands of Ilham the class leader was in front of me
"Make a wish first" Ilham reminded
I closed my eyes and made a wish before blowing out the candle
Hopefully on my birthday this time I want to be a very happy birthday than before
After I made a wish I blew out the candle
"Thank you" I said sincerely to all of them
"What if we eat later I will treat" I said
"Youngooaaa"
At four o'clock in the afternoon I came home from school to be picked up by my personal driver Pak Anang
When I arrived, I walked cheerfully into the house
I can't wait to see what surprise my family gave me this time
"Assalamualaikum" I said, but there was no sahutan
The atmosphere of the house is very quiet with the lights turned off. I know, this must be part of their plan to surprise me
I walked further and further and looked for the light switch and..
Deg
Lots of flowers and balloons were scattered and in the corner of the wall there was the saying 'Happy Birthday Amaira'
My lips smiled at the surprise that was prepared but why it was still quiet
I looked to the other side and I was very surprised by what was there
Two white coffins with papa sitting and crying
I walked up to her
Deg
"Pa" Iirihku
"What!! It's all because you're a fucking kid" papa snapped at me to surprise me
In my whole life just this time papa yelled at me violently
I didn't care about papa's snaps and I sat limply on the floor and stared at the body of the mother in the crate
"Ma." call me with a quivering voice.
I'm not sure if this is all real. I'm sure this is just a joke
"Ma wake up ma"
I'm still trying to hold back the tears that are already welling up in my eyes
"Wake up, Mom wants to surprise me, right"
"Now I'm here mama wakes up"
"Mom open your eyes"
"Don't be kidding ma" I shouted
No matter how hard I can't hold back these tears
"This is all not true" I asked if this was all just a dream
It's just their charade I wish it was
"It's real!! Your mother IS DEAD" said papa with great emphasis
No!! No way my mom left me this must be a lie!!
It's lies!!
I cried hysterically beside my mother's coffin
It's the worst birthday ever!!
"Bad mama!!" yell at
"Wake up ma"
Who wants to stop by please
