Year 2005
Melati got up from her bed, waiting for only her older sister, leaving her son at home with her husband. For her brother Melati, she was not just a sister, but already like a child. Melati and her brother are very close despite being adrift to seven years old, her brother takes care of Melati very carefully, she loves Melati even a lot of things she sacrificed in order to make Melati happy.
Not that there was no reason she did that, back when she was a child Jasmine was sickly, her brother had been taking care of Melati ever since, plus both of their parents were very busy because of work, and their parents were very busy, often leaving them alone, until in the thought of her brother, they only have each other.
Her sister Melati always behaves like a mother rather than like a sister, Melati is very beautiful, energetic and popular, her brother is always supportive in any activities, always watching her, make sure that no one will hurt him.
The song that Melati likes is the rice cutting song, her brother rewards Melati with a walkman and also a cassette of the song, she said to make Melati more eager to learn, because every study so far, he said, always accompanied by the song that was played on their home radio.
Melati and her brother live very well and well, they just lack the affection of parents, understandably, her parents are very busy working to meet their needs.
“Mel, isn't it the same song? Always a princess song repeat.” Asked her brother, they are currently in the yard of the house, her brother accompanied Melati to study as usual. Soon after the school exam for the class, currently Melati first grade High School, Melati is very diligent, her brother likes to accompany Melati, because he himself is not interested in college, Melati is very determined, she was just at home making sure all of Melati's needs and her parents' needs could be met, her brother did prefer to take care of the house.
“Iya brother, really like, if the song is so quiet, learn it so feel more confident because it is calm.” Melati looks very happy to study with her brother.
Although it makes Melati has no friends, many of her friends used to be always upset with her brother Melati who was too overprotective, her brother Melati like her shadow Melati, in addition to at school, he was always there wherever Melati was, it made his friend uncomfortable.
“Sister, said Father, brother wants to be betrothed to his employee father huh?” Melati suddenly asked. His brother was silent and did not want to answer.
“Kak!” Kneeling answers.
“Mel don't want a sister?” Brother sneered.
Actually if you can choose he does not want to get married, he just wants to be at home, follow all Jasmine activities, take care of his mother and father later when he is old. But her brother Melati is very obedient to her parents, as when she is mauled to look after Melati, then she takes care of him wholeheartedly.
So the marriage he accepted, seeing the man was also good, his father was very sure the man could make his brother Melati happy. So Melati had to obey.
“Melati want kok Sister married, later if sister has children, change, Melati who keep.” Melati smiled, she sincerely said that.
“If you have children, you will really take care?”
“Iya dong, I will definitely take care, like brother take care of me.”
“Emang you have not felt uncomfortable brother always follow you where aja, until you do not have temen?”
“No, I never get uncomfortable with Brother, I'm fine if you don't like me, importantly, I'm the same Brother continue, because I know, Brother keep me, I keep me, want me to be happy keep.”
“You are a smart child, beautiful and know that Brother does only want Mel happy mastiin, Brother is quite afraid if there are people who say that Mel was kept away because it was too big Brother, he said, not a son mama.” They both laughed, two girls whose relationship was very close.
Her brother Melatipun's marriage took place when Melati was still in second grade High School, not long after, her sister was pregnant, the pregnancy was very heavy, so her brother tended to be often at home and could not accompany Melati anymore, it makes her brother feel guilty sometimes.
But Melati is not angry, she knows her brother's condition is bad and she no longer accompanies Melati anywhere not because it is not dear, but because of his condition.
When Melati was in the third grade of High School in 2002, her brother gave birth to a son, named Heru, the family was very happy, Melati was also the same, Melati, he was happy to have a nephew who would make the family complete. The family protector said.
Melati kept her promise, because her brother stayed with her mother and father despite being married, so Melati always helped her brother take care of his niece.
Although he is also sometimes busy preparing for campus entrance, the third grade of High School is the hardest time because he has to prepare for school exams as well as campus entrance exams. But Melati does not complain, although not a genius, but Melati is someone who is quite intelligent.
“Mel, tired no nemenin sister staying up late mulu keep si dede?” His sister and Melati were in the living room, Melati carrying her nephew, it's two in the morning, Heru has a cold cough, typical of infants, so they both wake up to change guard. While her brother's husband must rest because tomorrow morning work, as well as Melati's mother's father, they are always alone in doing anything.
“Sometimes tired, but if you see Dede cry, brother will also still hurt his body, abis lahiran, Mel so kasian, so Mel just fine, anyways Mel already aunty, already aunty, so you have to take care of dede.” Melati kissed the baby Heru.
“Sorry sister yes, Mel.”
“No need to apologize, sister also never said tired, mengupirin Mel anywhere, please Mel to anywhere, now replace, Mel who memenin brother continues.”
Melati grows into a girl who is more beautiful, more energetic, full of enthusiasm and good at organizing, many people like her, but many also do not, not because Melati is arrogant or she is bad at people, but her popularity makes many women jealous of her.
Her brother is still busy taking care of his son who is currently one year old, Melati also still helps her brother a lot.
Until the fateful day came, two years later after he was accepted at the university, in 2005. Melati permission to participate in the study tour, inexplicably her brother felt heavily allowed, Melati only always permission to her brother, because her mother had entrusted household activities to her brother Melati.
But Melati continued to convince her brother that nothing would happen, but her brother's feelings turned out to be strong, within three hours of Melati leaving the house to go study tour, her brother got word from his college place, and his brother got news, there was an accident that hit the bus, her brother Melati in shock, she drove herself to the campus very quickly, when she got to the campus she found out that, all the participants were roasted, no one survived, his brother was limp and crying hysterically, until someone told him that there was one survivor.
A woman named Melati, because Melati is very popular in that campus, she is easily recognized.
Her sister went straight to the hospital where Melati was being treated and currently Melati has just woken up from her stupor, it has been five hours since the accident.
“Kak! Brother! please friends Melati!” Melati screamed hysterically, her brother saw it immediately hugged Melati and yelled calling the Doctor, her parents were still out of town taking care of business and were heading to the hospital as soon as he got word from her brother.
“Mel quiet yes dear, sister here accompany Melati yes.” Her sister was still hugging, while Melati was still hysterical.
The doctor came with the nurse, they immediately checked the state of Melati and declared Melati's condition good, but indeed mentally unstable due to trauma.
“Mel, don't think of anything else just yet, anyway you have to heal first.”
“Kak, Mel saw the friends shouting from the bus for help, no one can come out because the fire has spread, throwing from the broken window, he said, just Throwing from that window, there were some people Mel saw coming out of that window, but can't because the fire is getting bigger and they scramble to get out of the broken window, Mel saw them for help, but Mel can't do anything because Mel can't move at all.
“Yes you know, it is not Mel's fault, it must be because Mel is in shock, so Mel can not move, it is also Mel.”'s destiny
“Kak, Mel heard them asking for help calling Mel, horrified they were screaming in heat, heard them screaming in pain, Sis, please, is Mel supposed to die too?”
“Mel! Brother does not want to cry Mel that way again, if Mel why-why, sister will not be able to live either. So Mel, should appreciate the second chance that God loves for you, cherish that opportunity to live even better.” Her brother keeps trying to strengthen Melati.”
“But Kak, even Mel saw in that window, one by one the body of Mel's friend was burnt, Kak ... Mel bener-gener ...”
“Quite, do not remember again yes, later also may come Police and also the campus, you must be strong when explaining later yes, help them to calm there, Mel must be strong yes.”
Her brother hugged Melati tightly.
While in a very distant place, a girl carrying a three-year-old girl is hysterical when told that her husband is in an accident, he lives off the island after three days of the accident.
Her husband's mother's father is going to the hospital to take care of her husband's body, the woman is indeed living with her in-laws, she and her husband married right after graduating High School, when their son was one year old. Yes, they are a couple who got married because they got pregnant first. Her husband continued college while she was just a housewife taking care of her child and living in the house of in-laws, because her husband was not able to provide for her.
Luckily the woman had very good in-laws, so all the needs of her and her child were met.
This is her husband's second year of college, even before she went on a study tour, her husband called home, said that she was going to study tour, she sounded very happy, her husband was a good father, she was very happy, he did not leave himself knowing he was pregnant, responsible for marriage and when it comes to college away, he always routinely calls his wife and child.
So when he got this news, his life collapsed, right now, in his mind only one, how his daughter was able to live well without a father.
“Nola unfortunately Mama, we meet Papa yes, we meet Papa with grandparents, Nola must see Papa, Papa is a very dear person Nola, will keep Nola forever.” That's what the woman said, the wife of one of the students who was the victim of the bus accident.
Then they all crossed home to meet the man whose body was grilled by the bus accident.
