Episode 89: The Biggest Life Trial During UN
Bimbel in school today is over already, the national exam is in sight. Maya looked at the study module lying on the study table. Next week the UN has begun, followed by a school exam which is a repetition of material from grade 10. The final class in High School was very short, only 8 months of effective study.
“School examination does not really determine your graduation yes!”said Bu Rita, the homeroom teacher.
But he advised all students not to underestimate the school exam. For those who have passed SNMPTN was expected not to underestimate the UN. This week is a quiet period, where the school is closed for the 12th grade while the younger siblings of the class are still required to go to school. All 12th graders study at home. Maya also studied diligently in her room, morning, afternoon, evening, until night. It only stops when it comes to cleaning the body or eating. Something he forgot was to check on his mother because he saw her was fine.
Until the third day of UN which is the day finally taking the national exam, Maya ran to see the mother in her room because until she was after breakfast, she had not yet come out of her room.
“Tok..Tok..Tok....”.
“Ma….Maya wants to go to school first,”pamitnya, but there is no answer from within.
The girl hurriedly met with Madam Wati who was busy putting dirty clothes into the washing machine.
“Mbak...mama is not awake yet? Just tell me if I'm leaving now.”
“Yuk...Mbak meganin go inside. Yesterday he went to the doctor. Said the doctor mama's condition is getting worse,”sutnya while drying hands.
“Yang really,Mbak? Isn't my mom eating again?”asked Maya with a thumping heart.
“Tet..Tet..”.
The horn of Ryan's car had stopped in front of the fence.
Maya runs towards the terrace and exclaims,”Log in first,Ryan. I want a parting.”
Ryan got out of the car, standing at the door in a white-gray uniform. On his chest was the name tag of the examinee's number, his body was high athletic and his face was very beautiful.
“Kreek..”.
Mama's room door was opened, in the dimness she saw her body rolled under a light brown blanket. Mbak Wati opened the curtains so that a bright light slipped into the entire room. Maya sits on the edge of the bed holding her hand for a farewell. Suddenly the girl panicked because the fingers of the mother's fingers looked cold frozen, the touch of mama's nose.
“Mbak….Look here.Mama's not breathing anymore. Mama passed away,”shouts Maya while crying.
Ryan rushed into the room, he squatted down next to Aunt Wulan while feeling the pulse of the woman's wrist, her face paled and her body stiffened.
“Mama died,May. But we have to stay in today. It's only 3 hours and you have to concentrate.”
Maya gets up from mama's bed wiping her tears,”Mbak..Please call Mr. RT for help with your funeral. I'll just make the test.”
Ms. Wati immediately ran to see Mr. RT who suggested a phone to the hospital to move the body of Aunt Wulan to the funeral home beside the hospital.
Maya sits next to Ryan in a flushed nose and puffy eyes. Ryan clasped the girl's right hand,”You have to be strong, May. There is still one day of UN and school exams.”
The girl nodded and her voice turned raucous,”I gatau again. For sure if you sleep at home it will continue to remember mama.”
“You must be strong,May. Forget for a moment and focus UN.”
Maya strengthens her heart into the school yard and tries to concentrate on doing all the UN problems that day which consists of two fairly heavy subjects, Physics and Chemistry.
“You have a problem,May?”ask Mr. Vishnu, a Biology teacher who used to teach in the 10th grade.
“Mama I died today,Pak.”
“Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji. When was he buried?”
“Maybe tomorrow morning,Pak.”
Maya tries to hold back her tears and tries to concentrate on her next exam.
“You are stoic yes, May. We all teachers must come to visit.”
After the exam, Maya hastily contacts Ryan to get to the house as there is still a lot of work to be done at the hospital, including finding a burial ground for her.
“Please your heart,May. Later I ask help papa's men to find the cemetery and the study team at the funeral home.”
“Thank you, Ryan. I am very sad.Mama has not seen us married, has not seen me in college, let alone see I graduated,”isak girl as busy, her body shaken.
“Tabah yes,May. Nih drink first,” Ryan said as he thrust a bottle of mineral water he took from the back of the chair.
The girl unscrewed the bottle of mineral water and drank it two gulps then closed it back and placed it next to her seat. His round sparkling eyeballs were now dimming, his eyes were turning wry and reddish, his nose was swollen reddish. Ryan stroked the top of the girl's head and comforted her.
“The words of parents, do not cry on people who have died, fearing their spirits are not calm in nature there.”
Maya suddenly realized, all this time mama often told her to toughen up to live life. The girl wiped away the tears with a pile of tissue she had taken from a tissue box located at the top of Ryan's car.
“True,Ryan. I have to be strong, I have to be able to start a new life without my mom. But if we split up, I'll be alone again. Huhuhu..”isak crying girl was broken back.
“Kan we can video call anytime. Be that as it may.. Don't cry on later you can get sick, lho!”
Maya nodded weakly, leaning her back on the front seat and raising her chin while staring at the highway in front of her.
The next morning, Maya stands next to the cemetery dressed in all-black clothes and sunglasses, her long hair tied together and covered with a black corrugation. There looked Ryan and Om Robert who were wearing matching clothes and covering their eyes with sunglasses. A group of students and teachers appeared to be present in their midst.
The girl's sobs broke again when her body was put into clay, and they covered it back with soil.
“Huhuhu...”isaknya in the arms of Ryan who buried his head in his chest that field.
“Already,May. We all feel sad but must be sincere so that your mama's spirit is calm in nature there.”
Maya knelt herself down on the ground of the tomb that was still red, her body shaken and held back tears, her tears soaking the black dress she was wearing. Beside him was a basket containing white roses and yellow carnations that he was ready to put on top of the tomb of the mother.
Ryan also put the flower on the ground eating Aunt Wulan is still red.
“May mama be calm and peaceful there,.Maya promises to visit mama often here.”
