ALDEBY
|75.| Woe

Beby ran down the hospital corridor. No matter the people he hit a few times. I don't care about the wound on my left shoulder that still hurts. Beby's tears grew more and more as his feet stepped. Until he arrived in front of the mortuary, Beby stopped.

"We can go back if you want," said Aldef who always accompanied the girlfriend.

Beby sighed for a moment, supplying the oxygen in his lungs that were beginning to thin out. The girl turned to Aldef. "I'm okay."

Slowly, the two stepped in. Inside there, there is Miko with both eyes and right hand gips. Seeing her sister coming, Miko approached. His free left hand grabbed Beby's fingers. Hope the rest of the power that is in Miko can be channeled.

Beby's gaze was fixed on the two corpses covered in white cloth. His feet slowly moved in that direction. His trembling hands violently tried to grab the felt part of the cloth. Slowly, Beby opened the white cloth.

"Ma ...."

Beby's cry broke out right then and there. The nerve muscles in his knee were paralyzed. The young brown hoodie girl shuffled beside the mother's corpse.

Aldef who saw it was intending to approach Beby. However, Miko prevented it. The man knew that Beby still wanted to be here. The girl had not seen her father.

Beby tried to get up. He mustered all his remaining energy to stand up. Beby dragged his steps to the side, where Billy's body was. Beby's hands were shaking so violently. His cries were sounding louder and more heartbreaking.

Again, Beby shuffled after opening the white cloth that covered Billy's face. For the umpteenth time, Beby tried to get up. The girl forcibly pulled both corners of her lips. His trembling hands touched the surface of his father's cheeks. The cold sensation of an ice cube crunched Beby's skin. His tears are flowing more and more.

"Ma ... Beby—" The sentence was truncated, as if something was blocking Beby's vocal cords. But the girl did not want to give up. He was sure, that the great man whom Beby used to call papa could hear his voice.

"Why sleep here? Go home Beby, yuk, Pa. We sleep in the house. Not in here. Pa ...."

Beby took a deep breath. Then, blow it slowly. He pulled back the corners of his lips forcibly. "Beby's sincere, Pa."

"Papa's calm down there, yeah. Papa, is the greatest father Beby's ever had. Thank you, for being such a good father to Beby."

"Beby dear Papa."

Still in a state of trembling, Beby's hand covered his father's face with a white cloth that he had opened. When finished, Beby turned to Maya's corpse.

"Ma, still want not, when was the last time we watched drakor together? Last year, like, yeah?" Beby laughed bitterly. "A long time ago, yes, Ma. Pengin, deh, watch drakor together again with Mama. But ..., can't you, huh, Ma?"

In front of Maya, Beby again sobbed. He deliberately spilled all the sadness in him.

"Gwenchanna. Beby knew it was God's destiny. Beby also knew that Mama did not want to leave Beby so soon."

"Beby's sincere, Ma." Beby again pulled both ends of his lips forcibly. "Thank you, it's been the greatest mama for Beby. The exciting mama. Beby's friends until many are envious."

"Saranghae, Eomma." (I love you, Mother).

Right after saying those two words, Beby's gaze darkened.

The boisterous ambulance sound made Beby's eyes slowly open. His head felt dizzy and heavy, as if a huge rock had struck. The first thing that Beby's sense of sight caught was the atmosphere behind the car. Out there, studded with little stars Beby's beloved shows that the sun is at rest.

The girl is in the middle seat. While in front there appears the figure of Aldef who is driving, and Miko on his left. Beby looked to the side. Apparently, he was flanked by Kiran and Lola.

"Where are we going?"

Beby's hoarse voice then made the whole car lead to him.

"By, are you conscious?" ask Kiran.

"Lo's okay, isn't it? Is anyone sick?" lola Sahut.

Feeling that there was no sentence answering her question, Beby looked at Miko. "Sister, where are we going?"

"Surabaya" answered Miko. "Kak Indra asked mom and dad to be guaranteed there."

In that instant, Beby realized what was going on. The sensation of heat then spread in both of Beby's eyes. The girl looked down deeply, enjoying the deep sorrow over the passing of her two parents.

There was no sound in that one car. Only Beby's occasional sobs sounded. Meanwhile, Kiran and Lola channel strength to their best friend through touch.

Tonight, the stars in the sky appeared dim. It was as if I was saddened by the passing of the two Beby parents.

***

Billy and Maya's funeral procession takes place in wisdom. The breeze that blends with silence makes anyone feel the loss.

The women stay at home. While the men go to the funeral. Including Miko, Indra, Aldef, and Fahri. Unlike the women in the house, the sound of sobbing was not heard there. However, their eyes were reddened, indicating an overflow of sadness that was sourced from the bottom of the heart.

After the funeral procession, the pilgrims began to scatter, out of the tomb area. Just then, the phone in the pocket of Aldef's pants was deliberately activated silent vibrating mode.

"Where are you going?" fahri asked when he saw Aldef about to move from his place.

Without caring about Fahri, Aldef breezed away. The man dressed in all black stepped quite far from the burial site. After that, he picked up the phone from the girl who was his ex.

"Hallo?"

"Have his phone for a long time. Same with Beby, huh?" There was a grumbling tone behind Celine's voice. For some reason, Aldef felt bad about it.

"Again at the funeral."

"Oh. Did you guarantee Beby's parents?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Kasian, yes, Beby. She must be really sad. I was in that position once."

"But, Beby's still mending, anyway. He has two brothers who will take care of him. Beby also has you as his girlfriend. And me?" I heard heavy breathing from across there. "Beby's in real luck."

"Cels ...."

"Al!" The call from Miko made Aldef look back. "Come back!"

"First, Brother" said Aldef with a slight shout.

"Tell?"

Aldef nodded.

"Yes, that's it. I'm first, yeah."

Seeing that Miko and her accomplice had left, Aldef resumed chatting with Celine.

"Hallo?"

"Who was that?"

"Sir Miko."

"Baby's sister?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Decks are you the same as him?"

Aldef chuckled softly. "Yes. More often fight but. My sister is possessive about the same Beby."

"Al, maybe not, if we like it again?"

Aldef silent. He knew exactly where Celine was going. If asked like that, Aldef did not know the answer. The 22-year-old is still confused by his own feelings.

"Sorry, Al. I'm not talking about it. Just first, yeah. Say hello to Beby. To mourn from me."

"Thank's, Cel."

"Repette, Al. I miss."

Again, Aldef could only be silent. Unknowingly, a heavy sigh escaped from his respiratory tract.

"Bye, Al."

"Bye."

Phone ends. Aldef. His shoulders suddenly felt heavy. Like there was a big rock. Just as Aldef was turning around, about to return to Beby's house, someone surprised him.

"Whose phone call?"
