Fallen Dreams

Fallen Dreams
Astonishing Explanation


"Aante!"


Call Natya when she finds Fitra, the mother of her best friend Mitha, sitting in front of a room while covering her face with both hands. I heard a loud sound from him. When he heard Natya's scream, the woman turned to him.


From her point of view, Natya could see how red the woman's face was. Her swollen nose, swollen eyes and lips from crying for too long. In her hand was a lump of wet tissue that Natya assumed was tissue to wipe her tears.


Shortly after, Fitra got up from the seat, ran towards Natya and hugged her so tightly. Natya dared to swear that every second the woman sounded louder. His body that was currently embracing Natya even felt a tremble so intensely.


"Natyas! O Allah *hiks* Natyaaaaa.. sorry Aunt, Natyaa *hiks*" said the aunt who could only confuse her apologies in the ears of the girl.


Natya who just arrived suddenly showed a look of her confused face. Pardon you? Why would Auntie Fitra apologize to her? He was not wrong with Natya. The wrong thing here is him.


Because it was him who had allowed Mitha to go outside that place. God fucking. Now he understood the reason why his mother always thought him stupid. Why was her mouth so light as to put out the word 'Yes' on Mitha before this?


"T-tante .. Why apologize?" Natya asked who then let go of Fitra's embrace and pushed the woman's body slowly to see more clearly her face.


For a moment, he seemed doubtful. So Natya inevitably had to lead him to sit back in the chair he had occupied. In those few seconds, Fitra could only continue his cries. Natya who saw it continued to stroke the aunt's back slowly and continued to try to give him tranquilizing sentences.


Until finally, the woman closed her eyes and said what she should have said earlier.


"Mitha's gone, Nat."


*DEG!*


Gone off? What does it mean to go? Natya's breath was choked for a moment. He widened his eyes. It was clear that his expression of shock was displayed until Fitra, who had been waiting for the response from the child, cried again. He still did not expect his little daughter who had been cared for and educated until this big finally died tragically.


Wh why? Why did Aunt Fitra just cry and not explain to her what the word 'go' meant? No ... Mitha is impossible ... died right?


Instantly his heart beat so fast that Natya had to regulate her breathing. I don't know why his ears are ringing. Oh. Why is his vision suddenly blurry? Why does his head feel like it's spinning around here? His body became heavier than usual.


"H-huh?! I-i mean aunt?!"


No. gabe. Natya please don't say that. God fucking. Natya had just thanked God for facilitating all her business from before the race to today. He thought the time to test was over. He thought this moment was just his happiness.


But it seems like God still wants to test Natya with a worse one than before. And unfortunately, Natya has not prepared herself to face that. If Natya thought again, usually after the test like this there will be another test that is twice as heavy as the previous one.


I don't know what tests God will give him after this, but Natya obviously doesn't want to think about it for now. Because right now, there was a severe ordeal he had to face.


"*Hiks*Mitha is dead! *Hiks*Athaghfirullah, O Allah! My poor daughter! She died from being tortured and raped by that savage man!!"


'Huh?! Tortured? Raped?! Mitha's dead?!'


Mitha's? His friend who had been accompanying in his joys, the girl who had always listened to his opinion and appreciated him, the girl who always listened to his complaints, the girl who was willing to help with anything for the sake of ease.


Mitha who used to live happily without any burden, now had to be stretched stiff in the room behind her. Mitha who used to be with him, now had to leave. And it's all, nothing but Natya's stupid behavior.


Oh my God, please tell Natya that this is all a joke that is only made up by her own brain. Or just the usual nightmares that plague him in his sleep. Or just hallucinations.


Whatever it is!


Because Natya can't feel lost for the umpteenth time if this is the truth. Not want. Natya can not lose the figure she so dear to him until he already considers like a brother himself.


'You are lying ... The god?'


...


So, in the end he will continue to experience bad events like this in his life? Butwhy?


Was God angry with her just because she dared to lie to her mother and challenge her? Is that so? To the extent that it was Natya's best friend who had to pay for all that with his own life? And God wants to punish Natya with this news?


Doesn't He see how fragile and broken Natya's soul is now? Shouldn't Natya be like this, she gives a little lightening and doesn't give him this kind of pain? Why doesn't he want to understand Natya?


Instantly, the shadows in his brain revealed a flash of memories of Mitha while they were together.


"Later if your Art Gallery is ready, I'll go there! See the results for yourself! Uh ... but the entrance ticket is not expensive huh, hihihi!"


"Please, Nat. I will always support you!"


"Don't be too horrified what your mother's friends said, Nat. You know for yourself what the mothers' association is like. It contains things that are of no quality. If you want to make them feel comfortable, prove it to them by achieving as much achievement as possible from drawing it."


"You're so strong. If I was in your position anyway, I might have gone crazy, Nat."


"Why do you hesitate to take this golden opportunity? You should be sure that dong is your ability!"


"I just don't want you to keep everything to yourself. I'm your best friend. You should have believed me!"


"I'll stay first! We'll see you soon!"


*DEG!*


"M-Mitha .. m-died."


And instantly, his gaze turned dark.


══════ ∘◦❁◦∘ ═══════


Natya slowly opened her eyes and checked around. Drug odor. Sure do. He remembered that the last thing he saw and heard before his consciousness disappeared was the hospital wall and the screams of Aunt Fitra. He scrunched his forehead.


Ugh. Somehow the light from the lamp captured by his eyes was currently so dazzling that it gave him a headache.


Oh.


He's on top of the hospital gurney. Wait, does this mean that Aunt Fitra asked for help from the medical personnel who were on guard to bring her here? Did he also tell the doctor here to check on her condition?


Ugh. Basic Natya. I like to trouble people. And again, Natya must owe him.


*sreekk!*


The sound of the curtains being shifted scattered his daydream instantly. Natya. Found Aunt Fitra entering through the open curtains. The woman looked at Natya with a hard-to-understand look. But Natya did not want to bother.


Perhaps he was still devastated by the sudden departure of his son.


*deg's!*


'Mitha ...'


God fucking. He remembered that Mitha was dead. And Natya has to swallow a bitter pill called reality.


Is this what is called living? Full of ups and downs that seem endless to make humans miserable? So if this is part of the wheel of life, does he have to find eternal peace called death to stop it all?


"Maomi ..."


The summoned one broke his daydream back and looked at the owner of the voice. Bizarrely. Aunt Fitra's voice sounded .. seriously? Pissed off? Saddened? I don't know. What is clear Natya herself can not determine what emotions she expressed behind her unusual tone of speech.


"Yes, Auntie?"


"Who did you do it with?"


...huh? Whatdoes thatmean?


The vow. Why does he still get confusing questions like this every day? Is there something wrong with Natya? Did? What did he end up doing? Even though Natya herself did not feel like doing anything before.


"What auntie mean?" Natya asked confusedly.


Aunt Fitra sighed for a moment. Then walk slowly closer to Natya. Still with his strange look. His eyebrows dropped, but he did not look angry either. At least it makes Natya relieved. He did not want to find himself scolded by someone he considered to be his own mother.


As soon as he got near Natya, he took a seat near the gurney and sat down. He began to explain.


"So you passed out and my aunt told the doctor to torture you thoroughly." Evidently.


"M-sorry ... Aunty may sound excessive, but it seems that after the departure of Mitha, Aunt instead became afraid of losing you too because you already consider like a son himself. So Aunt told the doctor to check on you thoroughly. Blood pressure, and all sorts of things. Auntie's afraid that you're sick."


"Fortunately, from the examination, the doctor stated that you are healthy. Just got shocked by the news."


Aunt Fitra was silent for quite a while. Already been? That all? Nothing strange and he is healthy? So what exactly is Aunt Fitra questioning-


"But the problem ... the doctor also said that at this time ... you are .. pregnant." The next one that instantly made him flinch.


*DEG!*


"Well?!" His screams were unexpected.


"I ... pregnant?"
