"Adammit.."
"I will be faithful to accompany you" he said with a sweet smile.
"Thank you" I said.
"Sama-sama" she said.
"Don't keep grieving Ris, it makes me feel sad too".
"I just didn't expect it, I couldn't make Grandma happy. But grandma's gone first" my tears came back.
Adam did not respond to my words. As the day grew, the sun began to rise. Adam took me home.
"We will come here often" said Adam finally after I was silent not to say his words. I'm looking.
"You're going to accompany me?" askaku expectantly.
"As long as I'm still breathing, I'll try to always be by your side and accompany you" I lowered my head.
"Let's go home" Adam took my hand and pulled her out of the cemetery. The further I walked, the further my grandmother's tomb was visible.
"Risa promise will make Grandma happy" my inner self as she looked at Grandma's grave which slowly disappeared from sight.
Arriving at home. Only the friends of the indigo team members, chalis and some of the mothers who were still there were in my house. They're helping mom make some snacks for tonight. The yellow flag was fixed in front of the fence. Waving.
"Have you told Sekar about this news?" ask Glen. I shook weakly.
"Do I need to tell you?" bargained for. I looked at him, smiling softly.
"I'm the one who told you this, you please.get my phone in the room" I said. Glen nodded and walked into the house. He came back with my sophisticated flat object. He handed that thing to me. After I received it, I immediately contacted Mbak Sekar. He said he'd come tonight.
The afternoon changed, the afternoon changed the night. There are no stars or moons tonight. They felt sad today. In the shadows, memories of me and my grandmother laughing together and the little quarrel we had.
I'm in the room now. Balcony exactly. Self standing. Looking at the pitch-black sky without a glimmer of light there. Suddenly, there were a lot of fireflies flying in front of me, along with a gust of cool and soothing wind.
"Mr.. Risa promise.. Risa will make Grandma happy" my inner.
I looked deeply at the fireflies flying in the air. Today something feels strange to me. Why.. why from bathing grandma until now. I do not see 'them'. Usually the subtle-creatures will wander to disturb me while I'm on the balcony. Especially at the funeral. Why do they all seem to just disappear?. Uh! Nevermind! That's not important!.
Tok..
That knock woke me up from the nighttime reverie. The door opened, and Adam was standing there in neat clothes. The fragrance also reached where I stood. Did he shower and tidy when I was in the room?.
"Yuk.." I nodded. I closed the balcony door and approached Adam. We both walked together to the living room, where many people had gathered there with their own letters. In the middle of them, snacks like sponge, jenang, nuts and such and aq*a drinks are comparable. I sat down next to Zara. The chants of the letters that were read together made my heart tremble.
Finish up tonight. I sat on the terrace with mbak sekar, team indigo, and chalis.
"Patience to Ris" Mbak Sekar hugged me.
"Bak came home last night" Mbak Sekar let go of his embrace and smiled at me. I nodded weakly in response to his words. He then left.

Day by day passed. It has been seven days of grandmother's death and also seven days of tahlilan held. Now the house is deserted, no more chanting letters yasin read together. Friends always play at home.
There's nothing different. After my condition improved, I went back to school. Disturbances from various types of subtle-creatures and forms have also begun to come back.
Some day. On a sunday morning. Adam came to the house. You want to know what time it is? Five o'clock. Yep! It's five in the morning. The sun alone was still reluctant to appear, but Adam in his jogging attire was sitting casually on the living room couch.
"How did you get in?".
"It may be your mother who opens the door".
"Whenever here?" my tent is still standing.
"Jogging yuk".
"Males ah's".
"Liar healthy".
"But males".
"Ne-" I said to a halt when I realized that the old woman had now left me. He usually sits on the living room couch reading the Qur'an. My tears are flowing again.
"Well.. Why even cry? Don't cry dear, grandma is calm there" said Adam approached me and hugged me.
I let go of her embrace.
"What do you mean call me darling? Want to try chocolate-flavored flip flops, huh?" pissed me.
"So not jogging?" ask Adam.
"No! You're naughty!" I looked up and closed my eyes and put my lips together
"What evil?".
"You call me darling".
"What would it matter if not dear? Beb's? Ayang's? Ayang beb's? The grils? An empath? Sweet cat? Stupid hound? Barbie british? My chick? Tomboy's? Weirdo? What si? How'd it want?" cerocos Adam mentioned very surprising calls in my sense of hearing.
"Siran" I said full of smiles.
"Cock coconut?".
"Yes, Arisa Intan".
"Owh, yes, if that's what you call me Dada" I opened my eyes and frowned at him.
"Body?" Adam nodded.
"Adam Yananda's".
"Either why did I feel bad about Dada's call. I felt that call, would be a word spoken at farewell" my inner self
"Alright" even though I'm starting to feel bad. I still approve of his words. Finally we agreed to call each other with a call that had been determined while both of us.
I went to the room for a while to change clothes. Then go back again and start jogging around the complex.
The time on my watch already showed at six in the morning. Adam and I rested for a while on the park bench while waiting for the sun to rise.
"Da!" I held my bro without looking at Adam.
"Yes".
"Can you promise me?" I turned my body to face Adam.
"Promise?".
"Yes" I nodded quickly.
"Can you promise me that you'll stay by my side until death?" askaku expectantly.
"Eumm..honestly San, I was hesitant to promise you that" my eyes were puffed up, my esophagus choked.
"Why?" I stammered, even cold sweat began to pour over my forehead and temples.
"Let's go. I just feel like my life won't be long".
My eyes are in water again. What does it mean that he said such words?.
"W-what do you mean?".
"I can't promise you San. But I will try to be by your side, protecting you from all the dangers that come after you. I just. I just don't want to hurt you, when I can't keep my promise to always be by your side. I can't see you hurt San, I love you. Sincere, not for anything. I can't see the woman I love getting hurt" Adam said, staring at me.
"But I've been hurt, because you don't want to keep that promise" my tears suddenly burst.
"I'm sorry, I just don't want to hurt you. All living human beings will surely pass away in time. That's what I'm afraid of, when I die, I'm no longer by your side. And I can't keep my promise" he said again.
We were both silent for a long time. I took a breath, then slowly began to speak.
"I am not forcing you to keep that promise, and I am also promising that. I'm sorry, I was selfish. I'm just scared, scared of losing you. All my life, it was only this first time that I felt something different when I was with you. I can't express it in words. Even when with brother Ang, father, mother or late grandmother. I can't feel that feeling. I'm sorry, I'm selfish. I should have known that all living people would be gone. And I included him. Maybe if you had said that promise, I would have said the same to you".
"We just live first, time will tell if it is right when it is" said Adam. I nodded weakly.
Adam faced his body, his eyes looking at me with love and affection. Somehow I was able to catch that feeling within his eyes as I looked at him.
"Don't cry. Don't make me hurt. Let's go first together" Adam wiped my tears and hugged me. A feeling of calm and comfort begins to rush into the body. I returned the warm embrace. We hugged for quite a while. I got asphyxiated as he made it.
Adam loosened his embrace. He looked at me still with his hands around my neck. Suddenly her face advanced, my cheeks became red because of her.
Cup
Ahhhh... What is going on?.
Adam...
Kissing my cheek?.
Adam took his lips off my cheek and ruffled my hair.
"Hey! Just kiss me!" I immediately moved away from this creature before me.
