The Traveling of Kak Melati.

Happy Reading's...

"If it's no longer Daffa you like, at least don't like someone who has a resemblance to him." Erik said this morning before leaving and kept ringing in my memory.

And after I remembered Mas Karang's face carefully, there was indeed a slight resemblance to Bang Daffa. Does that mean I really can't move on from Bang Daffa. Then, what feelings do I have for the real Mas Karang.?

Nope, no. It was just a coincidence. I did not plan my feelings for Mas Karang at all because of his resemblance to Bang Daffa. And what Erik said won't affect me at all.

Trying to forget the personal thing about the heart, I paced my steps to hurry to get to where Kak Melati is. And my chest immediately felt tight, when I found all my family members and some family from Bang Daffa also gathered in front of the ICU room with tears.

My steps turned into a small run, and directly broke through some people who were standing beside the big glass where Kak Melati was being handled by the Doctor.

Every now and then Kak Melati's breath will be choked which will be followed by the sound of a long machine burping beside her. It also looks like the doctor tried very hard, so that Kak Melati back stable.

Without knowing when it started my cheek was wet with tears. And this is exactly the same as when the news of my parents' deaths arrived I heard. The difference, at that time Brother Melati who embraced me, strengthened me. Now when someone who strengthens me lies helpless, to whom I lay this head.

"Son Melati must be strong, Kak Melati still has a debt with Roses." Lirihku in between my tears.

My right hand was firmly fixed on the glass, and in my heart incessantly continued to chant do'a, so that something bad would not happen to Kak Melati. Thankful after that, soon the doctor who was busy again secluded his smile to all of us, which was then followed by a smile of relief by all the family.

"Is one of the family members named Roses.?" Ask the doctor as soon as he gets out of the room. Everyone immediately looked at me and I was without a care to ask, all of them were directly approaching the direction the doctor was.

"I'm a doctor."

"Yes right, he's the Rose, the doctor. " Timpal Bu Mega by approaching me shortly after I felt the warm hand of Bu Mega stroked my back.

"Four faintly heard the name adek called by the patient, before finally coma back. Try to come in and talk. And let one come into my room for clarity." Obviously the doctor and then immediately moved on which was followed by Mr. Agung and Bang Daffa.

"Come in War." Said Bu Mega while stroking my shoulder accompanied by a drop of tears.

"Son Jasmine will be fine, ma'am. Because Kak Melati has a debt of explanation for the Rose." I answered while wiping the tears on Bu Mega's cheek.

"Lost you our hope, War. Go inside, tell Melati to get up quickly."

I reviewed my smile, and did not forget also the smile review I also gave to Mother and Father Bang Daffa who was looking at me with hope as well. At first glance, I was like a stranger to the face of Mr. Bang Daffa, even though this was the first time I met him. However, really. Her smile was no stranger to me.

Entering inside, I found Kak Melati who was sounding in her sleep and occasionally there will be a sound of breath like snoring behind her breathing apparatus. I held myself in the chair beside Kak Melati, then stroked her hand slowly.

"Sister Mel, this is a rose. Mel heard the Roses, right.?" I said right next to Kak Melati's ear. "Kak Melati must be immediately aware, because Kak Melati has a debt explanation of the same Rose."

I continued my words, even without any reaction from Kak Melati. And I don't know where my series of words came from, because everything I said including my daily life in Pesantren, even until Mas Karang also I inserted there.

"Sister Mel should know. Regarding the kidneys, the Roses were not burdened at all, and it was not because of Bang Daffa either. The rose did that because of Kak Melati. Because Kak Melati really love Roses. So, Kak Melati does not owe me happiness at all with Roses. Listen kan. Anyway tomorrow morning, Kak Melati must wake up. The rose does not know." I said a long time before I left it.

Shortly after I said that, the tool beside the ward rang simultaneously along with the body of Kak Melati who twitched, until the hand that I had grasped was gripped tightly.

I panicked, just like the people out there. "Doctor, doctor." I cried, but could not turn away the slightest bit from the body of Kak Melati who gradually weakened.

"Tittt......" The sound of a long machine coincided with Bang Daffa and the doctor entered the room. And then the doctor shook his head slowly towards Bang Daffa.

🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁

The atmosphere of grief is still very felt, even the afternoon sky also seemed to mourn with a thin cry, after the departure of Kak Melati this afternoon. I also did not stop crying, even though I knew what was needed by Kak Melati at this time was no longer my cry, no longer my regret, but my do'a do'a.

But I'm just a normal human being. I'm just a woman trying to sholihah, so to be sad other than crying I can't do yet. What's more, I have absolutely no chance to take care of Kak Melati's body, because Adit who is feverish and fussy only wants to me.

Not that I don't want to get out of the room to take Kak Melati to her last resting place. Again, all because of Adit, also because of Kak Melati who entrusted Adit to me.

Still in my arms Adit fell asleep, and would soon wake up accompanied by crying as my hands stroking his buttocks stopped. And it's been since last noon since Kak Melati breathed her last breath.

I look at Bu Mega which is still puffy. "It's okay, Mom. Did you eat.?" Means back. Bu Mega shook her head as she sat beside me.

"Mom's not hungry." Bu Mega replied, and before long the sound of crying Bu Mega had broken. I hugged Bu Mega's body with one hand, and I couldn't say anything other than just continuing to sob with Bu Mega.

Honestly, I was confused as to what kind of comfort. Because, obviously, Bu Mega's position is far above me. "Why so soon. It must be this fast, when Melati is in good shape. When she was at her peak, she enjoyed the role of a mother."

"It's all written, ma'am."

"What about Adit. Adit's an orphan right now." Said Bu Mega, while stroking Adit's head.

"Adit will be fine, here there is Mother, there is Mother Bang Daffa, there is Sister Ima there is also a Rose. All love is Adit."

Ms. Mega looked up and looked at me deeply, before finally stroking my cheek slowly. "I'm sorry Mom. Forgive Melati. Sorry.."

"Sheeettt, no ma'am. There is nothing to forgive. It should be the rose that thanks you."

"Geez,." There was a doubt in Bu Mega's words.

"What Mom, is it,.?"

"No, no. I'm just sorry to represent Melati."

"Mom, the Rose said. There is no need to apologize to Roses, it should be Roses who apologize because Roses can not lift the call Kak Melati, to cause Kak Melati accident." I replied with full certainty to Bu Mega.

"And he, you know everything, are you going to forgive us.?" Ask Bu Mega.

I was silent for a moment, confused to digest the words of Bu Mega. Sorry, sorry for what exactly Bu Mega wanted to say. If that's sorry for Bu Mega's attitude towards me, I don't have a problem.

"War, cause your father and mother died for saving Melati. They sacrificed themselves, by crashing into a car that was about to hit Melati." My body stiffened to hear the words of Bu Mega.

My breath that was regular, changed hunting and my eyes blurred along with in continue said Bu Mega. "If they had not sacrificed themselves then, it would have been Melati who died on the spot. And once again, you gave Melati a chance to live by giving her your kidney." Bu Mega paused his speech.

In his eyes I was in a still a thousand languages. I kept quiet this time, because I really didn't expect to hear all the truth right now, when someone I thought of as my savior turned out to be the cause of all the stories I had to go through as an adopted child.

Sad, angry, disappointed mingled into one in my chest, so I could only shut up without hearing what Bu Mega said. Because my mind, busy making its own spiculation. Where lies sincerity in this relationship, if in the end behind the kindness of Kak Melati turns out to be a redemption of guilt feelings.
