“REMEMBER”


(Chapter 04) We


 


 


As I eagerly pedaled my beloved bicycle, I thought for a moment about the relationship between "rule" and "freedom".


In a simple sense, a rule is a rule that is restrictive


aim to create order. When connected with


"freedom" sounds contradictory, doesn't it?


However, such a thing is not entirely true. Sometimes "rule"


which gives us real freedom. However, most humans are not


realize and seek pseudo freedom by violating these rules.


Just like I do now. Actually cycling like this is not recommended because


my feet are not healed. But, with the stupid time I used to go to


basecamp place.


I darted along the banks of the river and away from the highway. Slowly the distance between the houses was replaced by a very wide rice field. Eve of today


so cold and soothing, even though the clock has pointed to the number two noon and


the sky is so blurry it is spotless.


For the sake of hiding from the blazing sun, for a moment I stopped in the trees in front of a


small factory for sipping water. When I finished I went back.


Along this road there is nothing but rice fields on both sides of the road. As long as


turning the pedal, I started humming cheerfully. My smile doesn't fade


since this morning, because this time I feel pretty excited. Till


discover the paths that many houses walk on each side.


However, in the midst of maintaining my smile, I was greeted with an unpleasant look


by some people when they entered the basecamp page.


"Ah, here comes the man!"


Immediately before opening my mouth to greet them, a loud voice cut me off. He shook his head unhappily.


It was Ihsan, who seemed to be about to call me. So did the Gita, the Princess, and two girls and one boy I didn't know. They were sitting on a bench in the shade of a big tree. To be honest, until now I did not know the name of this small, thick-leaved tree. All I know every dream of Sinta, I was always in the shade of the tree.


"You're melting once" lamented Ihsan.


"My bike is deflated. I had trouble finding a pump at home."


"Why even ride a bike? You want your leg broken again?"


"Jeez, you're my mom, huh? Your bullshit was exactly when I was caught bringing a bike here."


"The two of you haven't changed, have you?" sela Putri with a face of astonishment will both of us. "Can alian be a little calmer? There's our junior ’lho here."


"Junior?" I glanced at the three people I didn't know. "Ah, sorry, sorry,"


I said smiling bitterly.


"So, what's the reason we've been gathered here?" ask Gita.


"about


what I said yesterday, ’kan?"


Gita ago


looks like I don't understand. "It wasn't like you said yesterday that we


will we talk about members?"


I smiled, I smiled,


straighten my body. "really. We're going to have an event for


our organization."


"...."


They're all


silent, expressionless.


Hey, what the fuck


with your looks? Does this have less impact ?


"Yes my.


So you're saying hurry up here just this kind of thing? I got to defend


permission from the practice," the Princess grumbled.


"Not


you still haven't recovered? Don't be a brat."


“Cash


once. If this is not how you want to come,” I said.


"So, then,


the point is you're gathering us who've been members before, to discuss things


that?" ask Princess.


"Yes ...,


that's it."


"Then, then,


in what way?"


"Emmm, um,


first I want to gather who wants to come first. That was before


it's hard, but at least I want you here to fight.


I know this is kind of sudden and a little pushy. But, are you guys okay


let the place full of memories we used to be like this?"


"You


there is a point, Dy," Ihsan said. "But you also know, ’ right?


People are no longer as interested as they once were. Plus this organization


he died two years ago."


"Yes, I


know. That's why we have to fight independently, be it about funds and


so."


Princesses sigh.


"Honestly it's very difficult, Dy."


"Yes


that's why I need you. We ’kan have been together since childhood. What are you guys


want to forget our memories?"


"...."


"Over


again, don't you remember Sinta's message?"


Slowly eye


Ihsan and the Princess widened, so did my three juniors. Those who realize


just now continue to pay attention, now occasionally glancing towards the middle Gita


put on a gloomy face.


"I've been


know," I said. "Regarding Sinta who failed in organizing the event


that, I already know."


I don't know


why did I say that. Just because it was getting carried away, or


because of something I don't understand about any of this.


Brother Sinta, who


none other than Gita's sister is having a hard time. In the early days


his leadership, many were amazed by him. But gradually, gradually


everything changes with bad things. He who is still in High School has been chosen


he became chairman because of his leadership skills. Sinta is always scolded


with his friends who were jealous of his success. He always gets


unkind treatment while behind his juniors.


We are the


realizing it was all very upset, but he forbade us to retaliate


their treatment. Until the last moment, all he gave was


"an encouraging smile" for us and the people who hate him.


"Gita


...."


Princess


calling out to him with a barely audible voice, but Gita did not turn away


iota. Even so, it seemed that the voice of the Princess reached her. By reason of


he spoke with a small voice that shook.


"Quiet


just. I didn't think about it too much."


My breath as if


stop looking at Gita's face now. It was like a sentence ever


I heard that I called Gita after her sister died.


Cold wind


it was as if it was separating us. Gita slowly turned around as if


the wind disturbed him. Her watery eyes had no power whatsoever


while he sat down and squeezed the straps of his bag.


"Sorry, Brother


...."


In the middle


this silence, the wind also carried a voice full of doubt. Wrongfully


one woman from my junior was putting on a gloomy face as well. Although


I know he actually wants to say something.


"regarding


Sinta, we feel so too. I don't know why we feel something is strange


with his senior. We can only be quiet because we feel no


can do nothing. Moreover, Sinta herself also said to us


that all of this is natural and they don't mean anything bad. But, it turns out


not as good as we thought. If only we had been direct


act, we must ...."


The girl's voice


it faded, as if it suddenly felt a tightness in its chest when it was about to


finish that last sentence.


Breaths


the weight that attracted all of them, involuntarily came out just like that from


my lips.


"’Anda


just’, huh?" My face turned to the gloomy building. "Authen


regretting something, those words were just excuses that often flashed and were easy


just disappear. For me it's natural, because regret is part of it


from His mercy, which is given to every man so as not to be too late


in pain. And not too overwhelmed with the happiness given


by Him."


They're all


mebisu. That sentence is a sentence that was once said Kak


Ask us.


An


life of.


Much of


grateful, many are regretted. Many are grateful and regretted


concomitantly. Much is expected to be better, and much is expected


it never happened. The desire of every human being to live


life's destiny. In getting around it must be with a clear heart.


Take all wisdom and soon forget the pain.


But, man


more people feel pessimistic about him. Until his life contains


graffiti from the masses are still read every day as prayer.


"Yes already.


Rather than continue to regret it, we better do something first to


this place," I said, changed the mood.


"Do


what's?" ask Ihsan.


"Yes


clean-up, ’lah?"


"Did?!"


Oh my, man,


they were so shocked.


"Don't


say ’Heh’! Let's clean this place up" I said and headed to the


the building is with Gita. The rest followed from behind.


“You forced


we were totally cheating, Dy. You take advantage of our feelings,” replied the Princess.


“You're like


just found out my nature.”


"I still am


tired after the garden," lamented Ihsan.


"You are this


it's melting."


"Don't


consider you an athlete!"


"That's not


it's related."


Subsequent to


saying that, our conversation stopped when we were at the door.


We waited for Gita to open it.


"Oh yeah, Dy.


Are your legs okay to use to do heavy work?" ask


Princesses.


"Quiet


only, still allowed, ’kok."


"Don't


too forced, Dy."


"Yes, yeah.


You should have said that to Gita.”


Door's open, man,


of course, everyone looks ahead. But Gita looked back


as if confronting us with a displeased look at me.


"What?"


indict me.


Gita's Eye


move on to another. "If you're upset with this kid, just kick it


her feet."


"Woy!


Don't suggest anything weird!"


Damnit damnit! They


everybody's laughing.


We all


enter, and all they do is observe for a moment before putting the bag


we're on the hanger.


"You guys


the two of you cleaned this place up yesterday?" ask Ihsan.


"Yes.


Now we have to take care of the rest" I replied.


Then Ihsan


and I wrapped around the sleeves of the shirt, and then I felt the Princess who was right in


my left side was watching with a gloomy look.


"What's up, man,


Put?"


He's still quiet


for a few seconds. His back bag was still on his right hand.


"No,"


he turned and put the bag into the hanger, "it's okay. I just


wonder why your bag looks so full."


"Oh, that.


I also bring drinks and snacks for us later."


Princess's Face


bitterly smiling. "You're pushing yourself too much."


"Quiet


just. I've been a little bit sniffy."


"really,


Put," Ihsan continued. "If you don't believe just kick his leg."


"Woy! Could


no, don't say that again?! You want to trouble the national team in the selection


world Cup later, huh?" my word.


"absolutely


you're going to play? You yourself are not delicious abroad even go home


come here."


"Who


also who wants to go home! I was just told!"


"You guys


threesome if it's ’chat no stops, huh?"


Cold voice


it stopped our discussion. The Gita I didn't realize had already started working


with the juniors.


"You


why not join in on your own?" my reply.


"Yes. Quiescent


continue from earlier," said Ihsan.


"If


nothing has been said to be quiet, ’kan?"


"You are this


always been quiet, Git."


"Oh yeah.


Or do we talk about the Gita that was still clumsy, San?"


"Hmm?


Is he not clumsy now?"


"Still, though,


’sih. Look, just put the tablecloth upside down," I said pointing at the table


that's when Gita and I cleaned up.


Subsequently


we both laughed in amusement, everyone who heard except Gita even came along


laughingly. That's what I and Ihsan said to tease Gita. But


because of this, a creepy air appeared from inside the Gita.


’Crakk!’


Broomstick


the Gita holds the broken just because of the tight grip of her right hand. Her eyes


"If


you guys keep ’chat and not working, I'll break your legs!"


A flat voice that to us was very frightening came out from his lips. Holy hooch! Red


Gita Mode has finally appeared!


In this way


we can only answer ’Iya’ in a clean and start working. We don't want to


dealing with the former karate champion of this province.


※※※


All day


we're just cleaning this place from corner to corner. Warm conversation and


funny to color our work. Stories about mass excitement, too,


both when there are activities and other things, all are still accommodated clearly in the


our memory.


Oh yeah, about


these three juniors of ours, they only joined when I had already gone outside


domestically.


One of them


Denis. This calm looking guy is good enough to talk to. The proof


since then I and Ihsan more often ’chat with him.


While two


the rest were named Septi and Dewi. These two mates seemed so familiar with


Gita and Princess. Understandably, they are neighbors.


But that


obviously, today I can be happy to see Gita is not moody and getting close


with them like before.


At the moment,


after we finished cleaning the place, we were sitting around in a circle


top mat. In the middle of it was food and drink I brought


we were just relaxing to enjoy it.


"By the way, anyway,


how are we gonna end this?"


"Home, home,


’kan?"


"not


that!"


Princess started


the conversation, he meant about our activities. However, Ihsan


answer with a joke.


"If


may you know, what activities failed at that time?" my many.


But nevertheless, the,


their faces returned moody for a moment, and Gita began to answer briefly.


"Festival


Ramadhan."


"the cause?"


This time it's turn


Ihsan answered. "Village Budget given to us all of a sudden


before the middle."


"What no


planned first?"


"If that


obviously already. But, somehow most seniors like not


disregard. It is precisely Kak Sinta and several other members who continue to think


the way out."


"Continue,


why is it that only Sinta is accused of guilt?"


Ihsan stopped


a moment to catch your breath. Then with a heavy feeling he told me.


"Because the funds are exhausted is not in accordance with the established, and the reason is


it is not clear, the village is starting to suspect us. The entire main committee was examined, and


after that ...."


Ihsan stop.


Just then I started to feel something bad.


"Sita Sinta


suddenly accused of embezzling his money. He was charged with changing the funds


what's missing if you don't want to be reported to the police."


"...


Then...., how did Sinta react at that time?"


"Can you


guess yourself"


What the fuck?


What do you mean by all this? Why is it so easy for something like that to happen?


Sinta must have known the cause, but why would she want to give up and


recoup losses?


Sinta and


Gita lives with her grandmother. As I recall, after their parents


died, they lived in some rice fields. Then Sinta


take care of it to meet their needs.


Oh yea. I was


come here to pass the land. If it's not wrong, land is now


it has been so ....


Suspiciousness


and the annoyance began to fill my head.


"Now, now,


Kades and the village device have been replaced?" my many.


"It has.


It just so happened that my uncle served," replied Ihsan.


"Continuously


what about the current senior Sinta?"


"If


from my own opinion, it's really weird now."


"Any?"


"some


from us there are those who join Taruna Reef. I feel the seniors


the current chairperson, responding only to members close to


just them. There are no activities like before, as if Karang Taruna only


become a place ’hungkong. When it comes to cash, we don't exist


flaws."


"After


that's you guys out," I continued.


"Yes." Yeah."


"Then, then,


now, what the new Karang Taruna leader was a senior in rank with Kak


Sinta?"


"...


How did you know?" Princesses surprised.


"I just


guess."


I've guessed


it turned out like that. They take advantage of the innocence and kindness of Kak


Sinta's. I'm sure it wasn't just Sinta who was accused. I can imagine


that Kak Sinta used to be unable to do anything. He prefers to give up


for the sake of protecting this place and his sincere comrades fought together.


Besides, the,


those who trap also have other purposes. And the purpose itself


it makes me very angry.


Along with me


tightening my left hand, Gita realized that my anger was in the middle


turbulent was glancing with a feeling of worry.


"Attent


ramadan again, ’kan?" ask me to change the topic.


"Yes." Yeah."


"how


if we have ’Festival Ramadhan’ again?"


"Did?!"


"Already


kubilng, don't say ’Heh’!"


"But,


Sis. We are currently ’kan-."


"deficiency


everything, ’kan? I have an idea for that," I immediately cut off the response


Denis. "On members, we can invite our school friends. I


assign the three of you and the Princess to take care of it. For the matter of place and


Publicist, Ihsan and Gita take care of."


"Me?!"


Ihsan and Gita said almost in unison.


"Yes.


Your uncle ’kan Kades at the moment, San. You can persuade him. He used to be too


we have supported our organization."


"Yes too


’sih. But what happened to Gita?"


"Gita ’kan


its chairman. So reasonable, ’kan? Especially if you two are talking, I'm sure


he will support."


"Thus ...


about funds?" muttered Gita while glancing at me.


In front of


their gazes were plastered in wonder at my smile, I shrugged


and talking.


"For


dana, let me take care of that."


※ ※ ※


Afternoon


after basecamp, I headed for the road home.


The bicycle that does not


I've been riding for a few years now, starting to scream. The sound of the roar mingled


with that voice. I think it's best that I fix it tomorrow


this bike and I used to go to school.


In the middle


at that thought, I realized a familiar figure was walking along the outskirts


asphalt. On his right hand hangs a shopping bag filled to the brim,


while the left is held by a cute little figure.


I'm accelerating


we arrived and stopped right next to him.


"here, please,


let me take it, ma'am."


Mother and Fairus


she looked over, and with a smile she handed her bag to me. That bag I hung


at the handlebar, then calmly lead the bike.


"Mother


lots of shopping," I said.


"Yes.


Soon want ramadan, ’kan. So, I shopped long before


the price's going up."


"Ooh."


"Already


done cleaning?"


"It."


"Continue,


how was that?"


"Initially


I think they're gonna be awkward. But when I got there, it turned out to be them


even ’chat outside."


"Thank God


if they still get along." Mom glanced at me for a moment. "You yourself too


looks start to cheer up."


"Hm?"


"Over


it's you're often moody, ’kan?"


"No.


I'm just relieved."


After I answer


so, a moment of silence happened. When I try to avoid


looking at her, I could feel that Mom was watching with a smile.


"Oh yeah, yeah,


Ma'am. I want to ask for permission for something."


"What?"


"Look, man,


Ma'am. About my savings .., I-."


"Can, if


the show needs more money."


"Deeh?!


I'm not done talking!"


Mother direct


just answered, and more surprisingly, he could tell my reason. What is he


can you read minds?! You're making me shiver, Mom!


"That's ’kan


your hard earned money. As long as it's used for positive things, Mom definitely


supports."


"Yes, but


...."


"No


anything at all. I still have my own savings. Some of the money you gave me first


still intact. So, just relax."


I'm speechless, though,


while Mom looked and patted me on the shoulder.


"Don't


apprehensive. I already know your reason for going home, so I can understand."


"... Moms


already know about Sinta's sister too?"


"certain


just. Sinta ’kan always vent to Mom."


"Oh, that,


huh uh?" My face is a little down. "Sister Sinta has always been kind to our family.


Back when I was devastated when my father died, he always comforted me.


It feels ... like my own brother."


"What are you


did it all because of the incident that happened to Sinta?"


"...


Aye." Yeah."


"Mother


understand your feelings, but you don't get too late with everything


happened."


"... I


just wanted to get all of this over with, then return quietly without


there's regret."


"Is that?


So you agreed to their offer?"


"Yes.


They said I should stay and continue there. But I


postpone it until graduation."


"So ...,


about Gita later, you too-."


"Well, yeah,


Mama! Stop-stop-stop!"


I'm soon


cutting question. Damnit damnit! Why does he know about that too?!


Mom chuckles


amusedly. "What's wrong? Mother's right, ’kan?"


"Yes, but


don't talk about it too!"


"Haha.


Yes, I understand, ’kok."  He put his hand on my head


and rubbing gently. "You're like your father used to be. Quickly said.


Said you wanted to come back without any regrets."


"Yes, yeah,


aye."


I just


he was increasingly unable to look at her during the step. I don't want Mom to read


my increasingly blushing facial expression.


Although I know, though,


this secret is a bit futile because you can already realize it. At the


finally, I'll just tell Mom my new plan.


“Bu. Actually I have that thing.”


I looked at the little thing I took out of my bag, and


his face immediately stiffened.
