Ai, Love Me
Eps 106 - TRAMATE

They all boarded the same elevator and headed to the 2nd floor number 29 where Johan rested. In the end, they all stood in front of Johan's room door. One by one they enter Johan's room and find Callysta sitting next to Johan.

The surprising thing was that the room was still in complete darkness. Room windows were tightly closed while the room lights were off. Only the daylight that pierced through the curtains of the room's window was able to illuminate the room.

They saw Johan who just bowed his head while sitting with his back so down. Besides there is Callysta who only sees Johan with a gaze so sharp and full of worry. Johan did not care about anyone who visited him. He just acted cold and flat to all of them while bowing his head without even seeing the look on their faces.

“excuse me, we enter” said Emilia along with everyone walking into the room.

“you all come?” ask Johan.

“please enter” replied Callysta.

“how are you doing, Johan? Is it okay?” ask Emilia.

“lumayan” replied Johan in short.

“hey, brother. Are you getting bored in this room?” ask Jehian.

“not also” replied Johan in a voice so flat.

“have you eaten? I brought something for you” Farel said.

“already full” replied Johan.

“do you feel better, may bradah” asked Adam.

Hearing Adam Abraham's voice, Johan spontaneously raised his head. Johan showed a face that was so flat and ordinary but with eyes that were so reddened. Johan looked at Adam who was to the left of Emilia.

“Adam, is that you?” ask Johan.

“iya, it's me” Adam replied.

“how about Odessa?” ask Johan.

“sadly he will not be saved. The tree has been cut down and leaves the stem of the former cutting it” replied Adam.

“hmm, so so. Can I ask you something?” ask Johan.

“please” replied Adam.

“what is a willsh world?. Greisha said in my dream that the world of willsh is where a dead spirit lives on earth. And only people who have the symbol Jalesveva Jayamahe can enter there” said Johan.

“Jalesveva is the name of the lake guarded by Riana Dassilva while Jayamahe is one of the rivers that flow water into the lake. Ls it? what about Jamehaya? The river is no longer guarded by river spirits because the villagers killed the spirit but did not pollute the river” Adam replied.

“what does this have to do with Willsh?” ask Johan.

“that is because, Willsh is not a parallel world, but a world created by Greisha as a human test. Humans who can enter the world of Willsh must undergo the test 3 days and 3 nights there. If he fails, he will be transformed into a river spirit and will become the guardian spirit of the Jamehaya River. Until finally, Jalesveva lake, Jamehaya and Jayamahe river have the spirit of guardians” replied Adam.

“how do you know all that?” ask Johan.

“I read a book that your own grandfather had written in the village. I brought an ancient book that dwells dusty in the village” replied Adam.

“you mean, that ancient book that was in that village office? I've read it before, but I can't understand the meaning of the language written by grandfather. How do you know and understand the contents of the book?” ask Johan.

“I asked Riana to help me interpret it. That is because it is a language that can only be understood by the spirits of nature and the goddess of nature.” Adam replied.

“how can grandfather know the language of nature spirits?” ask Johan.

“that's because, your grandmother is a spirit of nature. Your grandmother was the spirit of the Jamehaya” river Adam replied.

Hearing that, Johan was so surprised not to play. He doesn't know about it at all. Even Johan did not know about the river guarded by his grandmother. Johan did not expect that the truth from his grandmother would be revealed at that time.

“ja-don't joke!” johan yelled so much at Adam and made all his friends so surprised.

“your great grandfather who you glorify is mentally exposed when he saw the wife of the river spirit was killed and executed by the residents because the residents feel threatened by the presence of spirits. Seeing that, your grandfather came out of the leadership system and came out of the village. After that, your grandfather told your birth papah to burn the whole village for revenge”

“but at that time, your grandfather deliberately entered his house which was then in a state of slumbering fire. Your grandfather committed suicide at that place. At least that's what your grandfather wrote in that old book” Adam replied..

“i-it's impossible. That's not true at all. How could my grandfather and my father do that?. It was one lie” said Johan closed both ears.

“no one else can write the tongues of nature other than your grandfather who was taught by your grandmother” Adam replied.

“for a moment, can I be alone in this room?” ask Johan.

“well, we will all come out” replied Farel.

“thank you” says Johan.

In the end, Johan invited them to come out of the room and choose to be alone in his dark and lonely room. Johan thought about what Adam had just told him about his grandmother and grandfather in the village.

“i can't believe they all do that. I can't believe I still don't know what. I thought, I already know everything, but above the sky there is still sky. Truth is above secrets and lies above reality. Like a mirage, truth and love will never exist. Even with loved ones, it will not make you right in love or sad because of loss. Not because it is not sincere enough to let go, but the fact is that we never expect to lose. Gradually the sadness will surely disappear, but the feeling of loss will always be there. Like fireworks in the new year, fly, float, light up, dim, then finish. It proves nothing eternal in the mortal world will calm”

“i have decided. I'll save Odessa. I promised her to pick her up. And I have to keep my promise” Johan said inwardly as he made up his mind.

“if I continue to be sad, I will not be liked by my friends anymore. If I continue to be sad, I will return like Johan 3 months ago. Who always shut themselves in the room because they feel sad because they lose their mother. However, Odessa has taught me one thing. Men have the right to be sad, but being sad doesn't make you right. Odessa has encouraged me to always be cheerful and happy in every situation even though my condition is so bad though. He always comforts me and accompanies me. If he was here, he would slap me because I almost fell asleep and drowned in sadness like last”

“i won't waste Odessa's treatment on me. Odessa has changed my character and nature, so I have to take care of her and keep improving as best I can. I will not disappoint Odessa and will fetch her” Johan said in his heart with such passion.

At that time, Johan dragged a wheelchair beside his bed and sat there. Johan almost fell down at that moment. Johan drained the infusion and attached the infusion to an infusion pole that had been attached to the wheelchair. After that, Johan pushed the wheelchair using only his right hand because his left hand was still so painful. Johan pushed both wheels of the chair, namely the right wheel and the left wheel only using the right hand which was currently being installed infusion.

In the end, Johan managed to open the door using his right hand. Seeing the painstaking Johan leave the room in a wheelchair. With a shout so loud and put on a face so excited, Johan shouted loudly in the echoing hallway.

“i'm bored in the room. Let's go to taman” shouted Johan.

“ehh?” they all were so surprised.

“inside this hospital, there is a garden as well as a canteen. Let's go over there. I'm a really bad laper to mampus” shouted Johan so excited.

“a-what happened? why does his mood and emotions change so quickly?” ask Emilia.

“less know too, but I think it's better like this” replied Adam a little laugh.

“you are right, we better see Johan's side like this” replied uncle Surya.

“what are you talking about? I didn't hear it from here” said Johan pitched a little annoyed.

“ti-no, we're just surprised by your behavior that really quickly changed. What happened?” ask Jehian.

“what happened. All thanks to Odessa. She was the only woman who encouraged me when I was sad. In the end, I would feel guilty if I looked pitiful in front of him. I don't want to look sad in front of him. I do not want to disappoint him and do not want to make his struggle to change my behavior and nature is in vain” replied Johan with a smile so sincere.

“yaahh, it's better that way” replied the shadow of Odessa who was at the end of the hallway while shedding tears and smiling so sincerely.

“then, let's go!” shouted uncle Surya.

“ayo we fly!!” shouts Nyoman.

“ayoo we rangkaaaaaaatttt!” shouted Jehian.

“AAAYYYYYOOOOOHHH KKIIITTTAAAAHHH BBUUEERRRANGGKKAAATTTTT” shouted Johan unusually loudly inside the echoing passageway.

“woyy!, don't scream at the hospital!” one of the men shouted in the other room.

“ma-maaafff pakdeee” shouted Johan back.

“i told you not to scream!” yelled the man.

“you're also screaming!” yelled Johan back.

“basic insolent!!” the man shouted, opening the door of his room.

“ehh, om it opened the door of his room” cried Adam.

“LA-LAARRRIIIIIII!!!!” yelled Johan followed by all of them with a sober laugh.

While running, Johan was like seeing Odessa who was looking at him from another direction that Johan could not possibly see. Johan sensed that Odessa was still staring at him. Johan felt the presence of Odessa in the same hallway.

“wait for me, Odessa, I will definitely pick you up, I will not run away from our promise. Promise Hanabi, will definitely live on. I'll pick you up anywhere and anytime. Wait for me, Odessa. I love you” said Johan inwardly as he shed tears and laughed heartily in the hallway.
