My Killer Lecturer's
Pilgrimage

Dug-dug-dug!

Someone heard banging on the bathroom door. But I don't mind it. I was only able to sit in the corner of that narrow space while bowing my face above my knees. I don't know, this tightness is squeezing the chest. It felt like a huge rock had struck me, causing my chest cavity to crumble. Sometimes I wipe the snot that comes out because I keep crying. For a long time I sobbed, until I was really tired.

Behind all the fatigue, I tried to stand up. My hands stretched out to reach for the dipper located on the edge of the tub. After that, I flushed a face that must have looked unnatural. Slowly I began to take the water. After that, I unlocked the bathroom. Heri, Nia, Ratna, Kiki, Irma, and Tini were standing in front of the bathroom door. Still upset over their attitude, I just passed by them. My goal is only one. Pray and invoke inner calm.

However, arriving at the mosque, I was shocked by some students who were crying. Some leaned against the walls of the mosque while raising their faces with both cheeks filled with tears that continued to flow. Someone sat down while covering his face while sobbing. Someone stared at a photograph. Some were prostrating but both of his shoulders were shaking indicating he was crying. There were some other students I didn't know, they cried together holding hands. Maybe they are the younger brothers. And from their mouths only one word came out. Gunguns. I was stunned, O Lord ... Gun, whether you are good at hanging out or just a real playboy, so some students are so hysterical to hear your departure, my mind.

Not too piling up the atmosphere around, I began to take the takbiratul ikhram. I prayed the dhuha circumcision to calm my heart. Again and again after two rakaat I continue until my mind really get calm. After the prayer, I began to teach to create peace so that I could accept the departure of my best friend sincerely.

Two hours in the mosque. Until finally Intan came and told me if Biology teacher was looking for me. He said, I would be considered a truant if I didn't follow his lesson. By force, I ended the recitation of the holy verse of the Quran. "Shodakallohul adzim" I said, closing the scriptures. After being quiet enough, I went back to class.

Wonderful, how great the Gun Gun is, until in every class there are those who cry for him?" Ida's mother's innuendo welcomed me to class. But I don't mind it, I know, it's not a good thing to go against what the teacher said. So I let him talk until his throat was dry and he stopped himself.

"Yes, let's continue the lesson. Go to Biologics on page 58!" mom Ida's orders.

I opened the material book. Although today I have discussed material that is quite interesting about reproductive tools, but to me it feels bland. My mind cannot compromise. The shadows of the past while still one class with the deceased, came back dancing beautifully in my mind. Forgive Res, ma, pa, if today Res disappoints you because the concentration of Res learning is divided.

After school, Heri, Nia and Ratna went to the house of the deceased. Tini, we finally got there. When we arrived, the mourners were still coming. Most of them are in school uniform. But there are also some who come wearing free clothes like us.

Suddenly, Gun Gun's mother hugs Heri. Yep! Maybe because Heri is Gun Gun's best friend. After being invited in, his mother Gun Gun also told him about the chronology of the accident that befell his eldest son.

"Sorry, Mom. Can we make a pilgrimage to the deceased's tomb?" ask Nia.

"Ah, yes. Of course you can, son. Momentarily, I'll get the deceased's sister to escort you to the tomb" replied Gun Gun's mother.

"Don! Doni! Try to come here for a minute, son!" call Gun Gun's mother to her son.

Soon, a man came along who really surprised the four of us.

"Gun Gun?" muttered.

Heri nudged my arm. "He's not Gun Gun, Chi. He's Doni, Gun Gun's younger brother" Heri said.

"Oh my God, why is it so similar" I whispered in Heri's ear.

"Yes, his name is also adek brother, out of the same hole, yes it must be similar, lah," said Heri cengengesan.

"Ish lo ini, dalam suasana duka, masih aja bisa becanda kek gini," ucapku, ketus.

Heri only scratched her back head when she heard my words.

"Sst...!" Ratna put her index finger over her lips, gesturing for us to shut up.

"Please take your brother's friends to the tomb" Gun's mother ordered

"Okay, ma'am," replied Doni. "Come brother, Doni interracial!" bring it to us.

...................

"Sister Chi, so take the science race?" ask Gun Gun.

I'm nodding. "Be, this, Chi's dream."

"But Gun can't see, can't pa-pa, right?"

"OK, just pray!"

"Oh yes, Brother Chi. 'That Gun Gun left, Brother Chi can't be sad, huh? Especially crying."

"Yeah, ge'er. Say hello to me, "I replied as I hummed his shoulder.

"Huhaha, um,..."

................

He was just laughing at the time. And it turned out to be his last laugh. I wiped my tears as I recalled her words, 'don't cry'.

Yes, Gun. I will not cry for your departure. I'm sincere. May you be at peace by His side.

Satisfied to see the tomb as the last meeting, we also say goodbye to Doni.

"Sister, wait!" said Doni.

"Yes, why Don?" ask Heri.

"I'm sorry, among you, is there anyone named Sister Octora?" tanya Doni looked at us one by one.

All eyes are on me. I was surprised by Doni's question. Wanna say what to him?

"I'm called Octora" I replied.

Doni approached me with a brown box. "Sister Gun, once asked Doni to buy this. He said it's for his friend Octora's birthday present next month. Please accept, Brother."

I was really surprised to hear Doni say. With trembling hands, I received the box and opened it.

A basketball and a piece of paper with writing. 'This time, I will defeat you, Brother Chi'

I smile. Yep! I've lost, Gun. I lost because I couldn't be your best friend. I lost because I put too much importance on my ambitions, until I didn't know when you died. I lost because I couldn't take you away from those things. I'm a loser, because I don't have enough effort to get you out of the black world. I'm sorry, Gun. Ii'm sorry....
