I'm the Forgotten One
Cousin Nyebelin.

FLASHBACK – Arrival Alzio Steward.

Two different generations of men were talking on the porch of his house. The faces of the two seemed cheerful with the topic of discussion that had been discussed earlier. While busy talking, his mother appeared from the inside to meet his two favorite men.

“Wah, Mama's son is cheerful once!” mama Alzio said and rubbed her child's head gently. “What are you guys talking about?” ask mama Alzio.

“Not talking about anything. Just talking about Mama being so beautiful. Isn't that right, Son?” ask Dad Alzio to his son.

“Papa habits, deh! Embarrassed in front of her own child instead of a halftime sale,” mama Alzio pinched her husband's arm slowly, then sat down next to her husband. “Oh yes, son, I've finished the final exam, right? What's your grade, it's out?” ask the child.

“Already, Ma. Since three days ago. Ahh My mom is beautiful, but dear forgetful, hihi,” said Alzio tease his mother who often does not remember things well.

PLOTS UP!! Mama Alzio clapped her son's head slowly, and Alzio could only chuckle, which was also followed by his father. “Basic of rancid children, same as your papa!”

Seeing the reaction of his mother, the two men again chuckled. Her mother was very funny when she was upset.

“Praise God, Ma. Zio's value is good. Grade A all, really!” alzio answered proudly. Alzio is indeed a smart and wise child even though his mother gave him the title of rancid.

“Mommy's son is smart!” mama Alzio gave her two thumbs to the child.

“Papa's son too! It's just Mama's kid, anyway?” tympan papa Alzio quickly.

“Enak only! She's Mama's son, smart like Mama.”

“Papa's son! Because Papa produced it, hahaha,” replied papa Alzio. Alzio's mama's face seemed to be blushing because of her husband's answer that led to that realm.

“Ihhhh Papaaaa!” yell mama Alzio. Alzio and his papa closed their ears and laughed.

“Already! Zio is indeed the son of Papa Mama, so do not scramble,” cela Alzio. “Ma, maybe it's a code from papa, loh,” Alzio shut his mouth while laughing after teasing his mother. The couple looked at each other because of the words of their son. The husband looks slanted smile full of intent, but the wife is just a manyun.

“Zio want to ask for what gift? Mama papa will grant it. Origin of your reasonable request, do not ask for new sister!” mama Alzio.

“If Papa same Mama is willing, yes why not?” alzio was happy.

“Tuh, your son only knows what your hot husband wants,” replied papa Alzio of origin and managed to get a toyoran from his wife.

“The older the narcissist! Remember, Pa, we're a quarter century old!” mama Alzio said as her husband. Though their age is also related to the age of daddy mommy Agatha, who is none other than a cousin and sister-in-law of her father Alzio.

“Zio already Papa bought a plane ticket. He wants to visit his cousin and also his om there.” Papa Alzio is back in serious fashion.

“Really, Dear?” ask mama. “Mama would love to meet your beautiful cousin. Hmmm surely now more beautiful she.” Alzio smiled and nodded in response to his mother's words.

“If Mama wants to go, just go with Zio!” bargain with husband. But Alzio refused it, because this was indeed his request as a reward for successfully obtaining the final exam score well.

🕊️🕊️🕊️

The next day, a luxury car was parked in front of the airport. Barry Steward and his wife take their baby to the airport, because the baby will be on vacation to his om house in another province.

“Darling, send greetings to your uncle and aunty. Greetings also from Mama to Agatha,” her mother's message to Alzio who is also embraced by her husband. The three of them hugged each other as greetings.

After the airport announcer mentioned that his airline was about to launch, Alzio immediately rushed from gate 12 to his plane. Alzio moved further away from his father's sight and he could only hear I Love You from his parents without retaliating, fearing he would miss the plane if he still had to focus on his parents.

🕊️🕊️🕊️

The flight, which took approximately two hours, and had to transit once, made Alzio feel exhausted. Arriving at the airport of the city where Agatha lived, a car was waiting for her arrival. Time still shows four o'clock more forty-five minutes. The cold blind morning plus the cool air conditioner further made Alzio cold.

“Den Zio!” greet Mang Judas when he reached where Alzio was waiting. Alzio immediately raised his head towards the source of the voice calling out to him. “Mari, Den! Time to go home.” Mang Judas immediately grabbed the suitcase belonging to his master's nephew. Alzio followed him from behind, then aligned his steps with Mang Judas's.

“Mang, later do not tell Agatha about my arrival. I want to give him a surprise.” Alzio started the conversation as the car started to drive away from the airport.

“Siap, Den. Mang Jud will also give this information to Bi Momon after we arrive at home.”

🕊️🕊️🕊️

The mansion still looks the same from Alzio's eyes, it's just that the color is already bright enough, it may have been repainted, he thought. Mang Judas immediately dropped off Alzio's suitcase and drove him inside. In front of the main door, Bi Momon was already ready to welcome his arrival. Alzio shook Bi Momon's hand, and Bi Momon led him to a room not far from the living room.

“Den Zio rest only. Kasian, definitely cape,” Bi Momon's word. “Eat it later so Aunt just take it to the room.”

“Thank you, Bi. Zio rest first. Remember, don't leak, Bi!”

“Ready, Den!”

FLASHBACK END

“Udah. I first opened the dish, I kept playing here,” said Alzio while grinning, making Agatha even more irritated. Although it can not be denied Alzio has a face that is quite handsome, to be able to make girls scream hysterically. I want Agatha to punch her cousin's cute face.

Quite a long silence between the two of them. Alzio didn't know what to say. It was not that he had no topic of conversation, but he remembered that Agatha's current position was not easy. He knew from his aunt that Agatha did not pass the selection at the top campus of choice. He thought this was still a sensitive conversation for Agatha if she asked about it. He also knows that his aunt and brother are getting divorced. It became so wrong and clumsy itself became.

“I'm here to see my cousin's unbeautiful state. I all want to see the candidate kam..” Just two sentences out of his mouth, Alzio felt he had slipped.

“Nnothing, continue aja,” Agatha said unreservedly.

“No, not Tha. I didn't mean to like that,” Alzio said with a laugh.

“Loh? I'm not offended. It's okay!”

“Iyaa, gone. I also didn't say you were offended, ugly cousin.”

Agatha was just glued and pensive. Usually there is always an answer to refute the words of Alzio. But this time, he just wanted to cry.

“Basic! Why am I ugly, but myself also ugly!” Agatha throws a pillow at Alzio, but Alzio quickly catches it. He was caught and then placed on his chest.

“Why did you want to kill yourself?” alzio asked softly. His eyes flashed a million soothing love and peace, which in the end inevitably melted Agatha's heart. Agatha looked back, remembering all the tragic stories that had happened in her life.

“Hei!! You forgot to give your cousin this welcome hug?” alzio said because he saw his cousin was still pensive. Yes, Agatha completely forgot to give her cousin a welcome hug because she still could not believe her sometimes upset cousin just came to her house without giving her the slightest news. Finally he stood up and hugged Alzio. It is commonplace they do to all their cousins if they have gathered with each other.

“You're bored of living?” alzio said then outlined a hug. She sat down on Agatha's dresser chair and gave a moment's pause. “Try you think carefully, can suicide solve the problem, Tha? Are you sure you'll go to heaven after this?”

His cousin's words made him seem to think. Agatha pursed her lips tightly. He never thought about heaven and hell. He also never died and he also does not know the fact after death man will go where. Will everyone who dies go to heaven? Or is it only good people who have the right to set foot in heaven? Could it be that he would become the spirit that roamed the earth and scare Nadine and Welson into betraying him? All thoughts raged into one in his head. But it is also unlikely that he will go to hell, after all he never stole, snatched, and so on.

Even though his life is full of treasure, it does not make him arrogant. He often gave alms to beggars in the streets, treated his friends, gave more money to waiters of restaurants or parking lots, helped abandoned creatures on the streets. Isn't it good? His mind says it with certainty. Alzio looked at his cousin for a long time and smiled funny as if he knew what was in Agatha's mind.

“Entahlah...” in the end Agatha replied after silently thinking about Alzio's words. “Only do you know the conditions for getting into heaven?” ask Agatha curiously.

“Mmm where do we start, huh? From the story of Adam and Eve, perhaps? Can I pinjem the Bible?”

Agatha was immediately incestuous because her cousin had just mentioned the Bible. If it is like that, Agatha must be prepared to be lectured by her own cousin. But yes who asked to also ask about the conditions for heaven, it is certain that Alzio will share his knowledge that he ever got. His cousins have relapsed again, because according to Agatha for their teens, Alzio is indeed a teenager who likes to preach and listen to sermons.

“Yeayy asked even dumb. Yaudah, now open your HP then search for Rohani song!” alzio's orders on Agatha. Agatha obeyed the orders of her cousin.

“What title?” ask Agatha while looking for the Youtube Music app on her phone.

“In the Middle of the Wave.”

Agatha instantly played the song ‘In the Middle of the Ombak’. The room tonight was suddenly because of that song.

“Amid the waves and currents of temptation. Almost lost, the purpose of my life. Like a ship tossed around, hoping for His love, as if unable.” Alzio chanted the song.

“Try to immerse the song in your heart. It's okay if you want to cry,” Alzio said.

“Jesus notice, everyone's life. The broken are corrected, with affection. Jesus noticed, every tear. He knows your remorseful heart of sin.” Agatha's eyes seem wet permeating the song. Every lyric in the verse refren the song terms of meaning and so touched his heart that by itself Agatha's tears fell. Alzio gave a tissue to his crying cousin.

“Then from that, don't quickly take a shortcut to end your life. God loves everyone who comes to Him. The way you wanted to end your life was hated by God. There have been a lot of problems, please don't make any more trouble! Didn't you fuck with your daddy?” alzio asked, which made Agatha's tears fall. Agatha cried for a long time until the song was over.

“How are you feeling?”

“It is quite relieved,” replied Agatha flat.

“You've Chrisma yet, anyway?”

Agatha scrunched her forehead. “Krisma?”

“Marketing, right?” ask Alzio.

“What the hell are you saying? It can be my dizziness if you want to lecture me and teach me like that,” Inner Agatha.

“Let me explain to you, my poor cousin. The sacrament of Chrism is a sign of the maturity of one's faith. The reception of the sacrament of Chrism completes the grace of baptism and completes initiation. Through the sacrament of Chrism, one is bound more firmly and perfectly with the Church and enriched with the power of the Holy Spirit. The Church realizes that the Holy Spirit is present to sanctify, strengthen and renew the spirit of the faithful to keep believing in God the Father and His Son, and faithfully carry out all His teachings for salvation

Agatha simply nodded but her mind was not yet capable enough to catch her cousin's explanation. He nodded so that his cousin would no longer give him the private course he is today. His brain was already quite tired and wanted to rest him.

“It's almost late at night. Go to sleep and don't forget to pray!” Alzio. “I'm going downstairs, I'm also pretty sleepy. Tomorrow we continue if you want. Get rid of that rope, don't fuck around! Good night.” Alzio.

“Siap, guru bwelin. Already there, down!” Agatha immediately closed the door of her room when Alzio came out. “Basic cousin nyebelin. From the past until now never changed, always be a speaker,” snorted Agatha. He went back to his bed and immediately prayed because he was quite tired and sleepy.
