Not Ustadz I (Unrevised)
13. Emptiness II

Death_ something that can not be avoided after life, because after life there will definitely be death. When that day happens, the expressions of those around us will be visible. Some are good but he turns out to be a traitor, some are bad but it turns out he is trying to protect us. But when death strikes, there is nothing to do but lie helplessly waiting for the rot to come.

In front of a coffin stood a man in a black tie. His eyes looked sharply at the frozen corpse, he lowered his head to pay his respects.

"I'll look after him, Mr. Nikle Havard Sharga, good-bye." He said while closing his eyes.

The funeral process went well, the rain fell as if mourning the death of a father from the home. The death of a successful businessman who keeps hugging children on the streets under the pretext of keeping the unlucky, trying to realize the good fortune of what they are going through. He died betrayed by someone.

At the cemetery there are many small children to adults, they cry sobbing making the situation at the cemetery full of sadness.

"Mr Jeon Victoria, is this okay?" Ask Liam suddenly.

Jeon, a man who is a friend and loyal friend of Havard also saw his best friend's son with a blank look.

"Amanda?" Jeon asked Liam who answered a small nod from Liam.

"She will definitely feel a miserable air as if it were breaking in her heart." Reveal Liam while pulling his hair.

"Do you feel guilty for her?" Jeon looked at the dark sky.

Liam who was shocked just widened like a confused person "What?"

"I know you feel guilty and lost, so you were so excited that day." Jeon said his hand reached into his pants pocket to pick up a cigarette.

"What do you mean?"

Jeon looked at the curious face as well as the restless face of Liam, he put a grin on his face.

"Hm? I know if you did some kind of DNA injection and tried research from a famous professor in Germany. You went to professor Kalehen who was exiled from Arabia to do some kind of experiment, and you were the first person to try it with a real human being as a guinea pig. But unfortunately only the girl's life can survive, your sister's life still lost right?" Obviously Jeon was long.

Liam was silent, he could not avoid Jeon's words. In fact, in the year Amanda was 4 years old, she committed an unforgivable sin.

Flashbacks

Moon Black's residential park is one of Amanda's favorite spots, though the rides aren't as much as other housing in the city. But he enjoyed it, Amanda was a child who loved coolness.

In the afternoon he always took the time to play in the park, his hand held a book of tasks to do if there is a task. Sometimes he also brought his pet named Bubyul, the sweet cat in white. He enjoys his time in a condition that is prone to dirty environments, his skin is also sensitive to the sun. He is a weak child.

"AMANDA!" In the midst of the silent atmosphere, there was a shouting voice from her brother.

"Ah, what's wrong? Why are you looking for me?" Amanda asked with a soft tone accompanying her voice.

"Dad's looking for you! Fuck up! I told you to stay home! Why do you always act so well? Who do you think will be scolded if you're missing?" Liam shouted in anger.

Amanda just smiled broadly, she knew exactly how her sister loved her even though her actions were against it. He knew his brother was always anxious and sensitive to his illness, he knew it was seen from his brother who never stopped him to play physically despite making him angry, even Liam will miss class when he finds out his sister is sick.

"I'm sorry brother." Amanda said a little.

Liam let out a long sigh, he picked up his sister's books and stationery.

"Here you go, let's go home! Take Byul with you, I'm waiting." Let Liam leave Amanda behind his back.

"Kak~ wait for me hehe." Shouted Amanda as she chuckled.

While passing through the road that is usually passed by vehicles, Liam did not really think about it and immediately crossed without paying attention to Amanda. He thinks it is okay because usually the road is rarely crossed by vehicles, even no one crosses because the road is only a path that rotates at the same point.

"Amanda!"

Liam had not had time to turn around with the intention of yelling at his sister, his eyes widened to see something unexpected in front of his eyes.

(Tinnn!)

"Sister.." The soft voice was blinding, coupled with the sound of a blow from the iron slab that was speeding towards the weak body without defense.

The sound that hurt Amanda's ears no longer came out of Liam's mouth, his mouth as if nailed with trembling, unblinking eyes. Blood flowed just like that soaking in the cold black asphalt that turned into a deep red color and brightly colored fresh blood, a distinctive scent that came out from the new corpse that was blown by the wind. The scent quickly passed through Liam's nose to numb the other senses that were still functioning, what a terrifying sight that the eyes would not budge once the eyes looked at the helpless body.

In horror movies, usually when a loved one is hit by a truck or car, they will quickly approach while crying. In fact it will not happen, because the first feeling felt is "Is this really over?"

Liam's legs felt weak, his eyes were originally sharp in front of the sister began to shed tears. His voice sounded as if there was no air coming out of his nose, his head was heavy.

The road was quiet because the driver who hit his sister just ran away without feeling guilty, Liam slowly stepped his legs closer to Amanda's body. He briefly checked his sister's pulse, how swift the tears he let out knowing his sister was no longer alive.

"Although you're still pretty my sister.."  Murmured Liam stroked gently the tender cheeks of his only sister.

Liam's heart raged and he finally cried out loud, the sky bearing witness to his regret.

"YAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! WHY!!!!!!!!!"

The footsteps from him gave a terrible impression, the originally clean road began to fill with blood. Drop by drop began to fall, he cried but kept walking.

After a few hours of walking, Liam arrived in front of his house. Imagining his presence would definitely shock anyone who was in front of his house, but this time there was only someone in his house. His father's.

(Plakk! Bhuagha!!)

"Brengse* you son don't know it's lucky! Siala's son*!"

A cruel blow was simply thrown on the body of a young boy who was dying, he did not dodge or avoid the blow of the father who was rampaging and cursing him.

End Flashback

"Hmm, in the end you and your father were desperate and came to him right?" Jeon said that made Liam angry and clasped Jeon's collar tightly.

"What's your relationship with that?!" Liam asked with emphasis, his sharp eyes making anyone might be cornered by him.

Jeon smiled widely, his mouth saying lightly while whispering firmly. His expression was convincing to make Liam sit on dirty land.

"Just calm down, 'cause I'm gonna take care of her." Jeon said leaving Liam alone.

Amidst his feelings, Liam finally released his tears.

"Hiks, I'm a bad person! I don't deserve to live!" His words were interspersed with soulful cries.
