Not Just a Promise
Mama's Son
“This is all because of you, Nehta. You made Tian die. You're the killer!” Hardik Lusy's.
Reyhan clenched his hands, until his handbooks turned white.
After the accusation he lay, Lusy increasingly made Nehta move backwards until finally knocked by Sara so that she fell into the pool.
“It looks like Sara did deliberately nudge Nehta, Rey.”
“Soal Sara, let it go first. I can't be rash dealing with him. Not about the services of his family to the company, but it could be Sara can do reckless.”
“Then Lusy how?”
“I'll take care of it. You just prepare our cooperation contract with the company owned by his parents, including proof of cheating his company!”
“Ready to do!” Reyhan.
Reyhan and Arman walk out of the study, having finished discussing his plans to teach Lusy a lesson. Once out they have been greeted with the aroma of cooking that makes anyone's stomach tempted.
“The end of this week is still working. Aren't you tired?” Nehta asked while arranging the food on the table.
“I'm tired anyway. But like, Reyhan doesn't agree with me.” Arman Goda.
“You're not resting, Ta!”
“I'm fine, Rey.”
“Man, come eat!” Take Nehta then.
“No need. Arman has lunch appointment.”
Not that Arman refused, but Reyhan's words just now were an expulsion sentence for him. In a sense, the man was not willing to share the results of his wife's cooking.
“Truly, Man?”
“I-iya, Ta. I first ya.” Pamit Arman, but his eyes can not be separated from the sweet sour chicken on the table.
But if he did not heed Reyhan's gaze, the man might pounce on him like a lion who had just met a deer as his opening meal.
After Arman's departure, Nehta and Reyhan eat in silence. Only the twang of spoons clashed against each other with plates.
Ever since last night, Nehta seemed to be thinking about something. And Reyhan can catch it well. But before Reyhan asked what Nehta thought, the woman opened her voice.
“Rey, I'll visit Tian.” later this afternoon Sluggishly.
“Ya, let's go there.”
...*****...
The sun began to look golden, revealing its most beautiful twilight. A couple were walking down the cemetery to visit someone who had been a part of their lives.
The flower bouquet they bought earlier before coming to the navel, Nehta put it near the headstone. Then greet him even though there will be no response from the owner of the navel.
The words that Lusy accused him of, until now always ringed in his head. Is it true that the cause of Tian's death was him?
The falshback
On the streets that were quite quiet with riders, a bunch of young people were gathering. Including three friends.
That night, they held a motorcycle race bet. But only Reyhan and Tian were participating, not with Arman.
Rumor has it, Reyhan and Tian are betting on one thing but no one knows what they are betting on. Everyone knows that Reyhan and Tian are in a gang. What added made everyone curious, was the attitude of Reyhan and Tian who looked ordinary without any hostility or anything else. In fact, they were throwing taunts at each other while laughing.
While Arman was in charge of holding the flag, the teenager began counting down. Reyhan and Tian had prepared on the spot while heating the motor which was already hot.
Mm-br... Mm-br... Mm-br...
“Go!” Shouted Arman, brandishing the flag he was holding.
Both Reyhan and Tian, both of them pulled the gas without hesitation. The faces of the two looked so happy, without any effort to knock each other down.
The happiness was lost in an instant, when the Tian motorbike hit the back of the truck trying to park its vehicle in reverse.
Brakkk...
“TIAN!!” Reyhan shouted so loudly, then stopped the speed of his motorbike instantly.
“No, Tian. You should be fine. Build Tian!!!”
“Re-Rey?”
“Iya Tian, I'm here.” His voice was almost restrained due to being stuck in the throat.
Tian began to cough, his nose and ears spitting out fresh blood. Why isn't Tian wearing a helmet? The answer was because the helmet he was wearing came off in a cracked state.
“A-I'll call an ambulance.” Reyhan, who was afraid of losing Tian, spoke in a stammer.
One of Tian's hands grabbed Reyhan's trembling hand as he was about to call an ambulance.
“Uhuk... Arggghh..” Tian groaned feeling the pain in his chest as he coughed.
There was probably a broken rib.
“You are patient... In a moment, the ambulance came.” Reyhan said after contacting an ambulance.
“Rey..”.
“Don't say much, Tian!”
“No Rey... I.. should talk..”.
“Beware... Rey! You love him.. Express your feelings.. before you regret.” Tian Lirih.
“Enough, Tian! The more you talk, the more hurt you will feel.” Reyhan did not want to discuss it in Tian's condition like this.
“Send my regards... For him..” Slowly his eyes closed perfectly.
“Tian!!”
“Wake, beggo! Give your own greetings, Boddoh... You must banguuunnn!!!”
Reyhan was anxious to cry, but he was too proud to shed his tears. His eyes were full of tears.
“Wake, Tian!!!”
Reyhan continued to shout, cursing. He did not know what words he had to say in order to wake Tian up.
Not long after, Arman and other friends came to Reyhan and Tian. Including Lusy.
“Ti-Tian? Tiannnn... What happened? Tian why Rey?” Lusy who had just come directly hugged his lover who was covered in blood.
Over and over again he woke Tian up, just like Reyhan did earlier. However nil, Tian did not open his eyes at all.
A few minutes passed, the ambulance had just taken Tian to the hospital. Reyhan and Lusy seemed to be indifferent to Tian's blood-filled appearance.
Reyhan himself, can't keep quiet. He kept pacing back and forth in front of the hospital's IGD room. While Lusy had not stopped crying, he was sitting in a chair while being accompanied by one of his friends.
Doctors and male nurses came out to them, along with the arrival of old man Tian.
“Wali patient on behalf of Bastian?” Call the nurse.
“We are her parents. How is my son?”
“Sorry sir, the patient came in a critical condition. We also have been helping to save patients. But the patient was declared deadl world.” Nurse said.
The thing that the nurse said earlier was justified by the doctor who had handled Tian.
“No doctor, Tian must not diel!” Reyhan exclaimed with his glittering eyes.
“Can we see our child doctor?” Lirih Tiana, Reyhan's mother.
“Please mistress.”
The mother and father cried after seeing the state of his beloved son. He was stiff, with wounds on his forehead and blood splattered about his clothes.
“Tiann... Child mom..” Tiana cried hysterically while hugging her son's body.
“Sayang..” Bagas clasped his wife's shoulders to provide strength that even himself felt devastated seeing his son was no longer alive.
