CHAPTER 17
Today I went to college again after a day of rest at home yesterday. Happier than I was going to college with Sella, after last night Sella was nice to me. Until Om Bagas and Aunt Rani are confused to see Sella's treatment of me.
"Tumben you two go downstairs?" ask Om Bagas in the dining room.
"Yes dong pah, I will sleep in Langen's room" Sella replied with a smile on me.
"Why are you sleeping in Langen's room, Cell?" tanya Aunty Rani is suspicious.
"Yes his name is a cousin once bed room is nothing dong, Mah. Yes, no, Langen?"
"Yes, Sell," I replied briefly with a smile.
We talked while laughing. I felt like I hadn't felt this kind of happiness in a long time.
*****
After arriving at the campus turned out Adit was waiting for me, he asked about my condition. Being with him made me feel comfortable. But I can't express what I feel. I don't want this good relationship to be strained because of my feelings.
"You're really cured, Langen?" ask her with a worried face.
"Well, I'm sorry yesterday I couldn't get you to the house" I said badly.
"It's okay, what matters is that you're healthy I've been smiling" she replied with a smile.
I also say goodbye to Adit to go to class, when I was almost at the main door of my campus suddenly I heard a loud noise from the direction of the highway in front of the campus.
THE SRREEKK..... DDUUAAAARR....
When I looked back, I saw a car overturned and burned. That's Adit's car.
My reflex immediately ran towards the car, I really felt very scared just like when I was running in my personal room.
There were already many people, but impolitely I called out.
"Adiittt, titt!!" call me desperate.
As I was about to approach Adit's burning car, someone took my hand.
"Hey, Langen! Don't be crazy about deletin' the car." It was Sella who pulled my hand.
"But Sel, there's Adit on the floor," I started sobbing.
"You mean the guy who drove this car, these guys were already flaming him before his car caught fire" Sella said as we were outside the crowd watching the crash.
Sella also took me to the car of Adit, when I got there I saw Adit was lying on the ground with a body filled with blood. My panic that had died down again appeared. I ran to the direction of the Adit who, though still breathing, was very weak. I also cried so much. Things I've wanted to do for a long time.
The sound of ambulance sirens rang out loud, Adit who was unconscious and then put into the ambulance. I really wanted to come but I didn't want to disturb the medical team that was going to handle Adit on the way. So I let Adit be taken by the ambulance, anyways I'll follow to the hospital.
As I and Sella moved away from the place, I turned my gaze to the blaze that was***** Adit's car and I saw it. I saw that half-snake woman figure was among the flames, she sneered cunningly as if mocking me.
I just look at him hatefully, I know this is what he's doing. You fucking devil.
******
I was accompanied by Sella to the hospital where Adit was taken. When we got there, Adit was taken to the operating room. I told Sella to just go home, because Adit's surgery might be a long one. After Sella came home, I saw a middle-aged woman and a young woman walking hurriedly towards me.
"Sorry, what was in that Adit accident in front of the campus?" ask the young lady to me.
"Yes Mba, right," I replied
I also greet them, I also try to strengthen Adit's mother who looks very sad.
After a few hours, the doctor came out of the operating room.
"Sorry are you the family of the patient?" ask the doctor.
"I'm her brother and this is her mother, Dok," replied Adit's brother.
"OK, so the operation went smoothly and the patient has passed the critical period. It's just that the patient needs time to wake up because he's still affected by the dope." The doctor tried to explain with a tired face.
"Can we see him?" I'm just impatient.
"In a moment, when the patient has been moved to the nursery," replied the doctor who relieved me.
******
After waiting for Adit at the hospital earlier, I also went home to Mama and her brother. Adit is also still sleeping due to the effects of the drug.
I went home using an angkot. In the angkot I tendered my body that felt very tired, today as if my emotions were drained.
Suddenly my mind floated to the figure of the half-snake woman, why did she try to harm Adit?
*****
"Mba, wake up mba!"
I was shocked when someone slapped my shoulder hard.
"Where am I, Mas?" I was confused because I felt that I was riding Angkot from the hospital.
"By the grave, why sleep here Mba?" ask the old man who wears the sarong in front of me.
I turned my eyes around me, and I was in the cemetery. The feeling was that I was riding in the air, why am I suddenly here?
Then my memory goes back a while ago when I climbed the angkot, the angkot color is not the usual angkot color I ride in Jakarta. The passengers were very suspicious, they all looked down without anyone talking.
"So I was riding an angkot, sir. But I don't know why it's suddenly here" I said as I woke up from the top of a black-tinted grave.
"Oh Mba was riding a red angkot?" ask the old man who seems to be the caretaker of this grave.
"Yes right. See him?"
"That's an angkot satan Mba, a former man in an accident a few years ago. The freight was hit by a train and one angkot died all. It happened right next to this cemetery area," said the old man, pointing to the train tracks to the north of the cemetery.
"So that was the one I was riding on the devil?" I ask who is at once curious.
"It looks like Mba, the solution has been several times like this. The case is the same after riding the red angkot," old father tawab while walking beside me.
After coming out of the cemetery, I also asked to say goodbye to the old man. It's definitely night Om Bagas worried about me.
When I opened my smartphone, there was a miscall ten times that of Sella and five times that of Om Bagas. Sella also sent me Whatsaap. When reading it I immediately ran to find a public vehicle to go home to Om Bagas as soon as possible.
SELLA: Langen, Mamah died**.
