SUN (My Spring)
THE SUN 38
Khai returned to the stage with the other members. They sit in chairs that have been arranged in rows. Highlight the lights and cameras surrounding the six members who were in the middle of the stage. Their eyes were stunned to see ‘My Spring’ who seemed tireless despite cheering since the beginning of the concert. In fact, ‘My Spring’ is still very excited to hear the members' answers to the questions that have been collected.
“Suddenly I was nervous” Whisper Dza on Chan sitting next to him.
“I too, though this is not the first” Chan replied.
“Thank you, I'm so flattered for your enthusiasm. ‘My Spring’.
The attention of the members was distracted when Ez said the opening sentence, 'My Spring’ who heard it also grew excited.
The members will be given ten questions, each of which will answer one question and the rest they will answer together. The first question, will be answered by Zal and the one who will read the question is Ez.
“Are you ready?” Ask Ez with a serious look. Although in truth, he was eager to laugh seeing Zal's tense expression.
“Iya” Reply Zal briefly.
“Kak, you look very depressed” Spontaneous remarks from Zhi make other members who have been holding back laughter finally can no longer hold it.
“Akh!!!. You even make me more depressed” Zal also can not hold back his laughter.
Because, they are a bit difficult to be serious in a situation like this. Not without reason, they do it to reduce tension and to establish familiarity with ‘My Spring’.
“Good. I'm gonna start it. What are you afraid of?” Ez read out a question from one of the selected ‘My Spring’.
“Losing you”
‘My Spring’ cheered when she heard Zal's short but clear answer, as did the rest of the members.
Next, the question will be read by Zal and answered by Dza.
“What do you want?” Ask Zal.
“Together you guys in a long time” replied Dza timidly.
“Why are you guys being so sweet today?. This is certainly not because there is ‘My Spring’ in front of us, right?” Celeste Zhi.
“Why did you open the card, our brothers became more embarrassed” Chan came to comment.
The jokes of the two youngest members of SUN increasingly make ‘My Spring’ enthusiastic, they cheer getting louder. Both are very good at bringing the atmosphere to life. Then, the next question for Chan, Zhi, Khai, and finally for Ez.
“Between love and friendship, which one did you choose?” Last question read by Khai.
“Last question turned out to be quite sensitive” Excited Zal.
“True, you must carefully answer it” Dza also commented, while Chan and Zhi instead laughed.
“What is the question right like that?” Ask Ez to make sure.
“Iya”
Khai showed the question paper to Ez and the other members.
“Entah, I have never been involved in these two things simultaneously. But, if it happens later, I will prioritize..” Ez disconnected his sentence, watched his five colleagues then looked towards ‘My Spring’.
“What's priority?” Asked Zhi who was impatient with the continuation of Ez's answer.
“Principles.so that it does not happen” Continue Ez later.
Dza and Zal shook their heads with a smile, Chan and Zhi looked dissatisfied with the member's famous answer, while Khai just smiled knotfully.
After the questions were read, the members said goodbye before the concert ended.
“Thank you for coming here, hope you guys come home safely. We hope, we can all meet again at the upcoming concert”.
“Without support from you, this concert will not exist. Thank you” Said Dza.
“We will meet again soon, so don't get tired of waiting for us” Chan said as he made a heart-shaped symbol with crossed thumbs and index fingers.
Suddenly it made ‘My Spring’ which was calm to be excited again.
“Come, come to our concert again!” Zhi's babbling made the members laugh.
“You said like you were campaigning for something” Whisper Chan while patting Zhi's shoulder.
“That's because you guys have taken the words I thought about since last” Zhi replied by taking turns hitting Chan's shoulder.
“Thank you for coming. See you at the next concert. Please, take care of your health” Ez said.
“Thank you for taking your time to meet us. We are very grateful that you have always supported SUN. If one day SUN concerts with incomplete members, please remain present and do not be disappointed. Because you guys are the spring that became the power of SUN to keep shining”
Not only the members, but ‘My Spring’ also looks confused by Khai's remarks. The atmosphere even became boisterous because of the words of the SUN leader.
“Please calm down, I don't mean to make you uncomfortable. I just got carried away until I said like that, sorry” Khai continued later.
“He's a strong boy, I'm sure it” Mr. Arsel said softly.
“Iya, I also trust him” replied Mr. Sugara, his eyes look sad when staring at the members on stage.
‘I also believe in you, brother. In fact, since then you can stand up straight and look cool. If I were in your position, my legs would no longer be able to stand. Brother was really great from the start. Situations like this, will definitely pass and you can definitely rise again’ murmured Emira slowly. Instantly, clear granules flowed from both corners of his eyes.

“Kak..”
Zhi ran over to the four members who were about to prepare for breakfast.
“Why is it noisy early in the morning?” Ask Chan.
“Did you guys see Khai's brother?. He's not in his room” Zhi cried.
“Maybe he's working out” said Zal while putting a piece of fried chicken onto his plate.
“Cannot be. Room is very neat, like unoccupied”
“Is it possible that brother Khai disappeared?” Celeste Chan.
“What are you saying?!. Last night, he came home with us!” Dza Seru.
Not wanting to keep guessing, Ez immediately picked up his phone and contacted someone.
“So it looks, fine. I'll hang up the phone” Ez looks uninspired when the voice call is disconnected.
“What's up brother?” Zhi asked enthusiastically.
“Khai takes time off, he needs time to calm down” Ez replied.
“Where does kak Khai go?” Ask Zhi again. He seemed very worried about Khai.
“Entaiah, no one knows where he went. He only asked for leave from Mr. Sugara without saying anything” Bright Ez.
“Kak Khai definitely needs someone to accompany him at this time” Zhi is back in flinch.
“But, he also needs time alone to calm his mind” replied Dza.
“I feel guilty for not telling him earlier. It must be very difficult, when it should look fine in the middle of many people, while his heart was broken” Lirih Zal.
“I am not strict. From the beginning, I should have known this would happen but instead ignored it” Ez rubbed his face violently.
“Do not blame each other, you have done your best” said Emira Lirih.
The five members turned their heads simultaneously towards the source of the voice.
“Don't cry anymore, you've been crying a lot since last night” Zhi came up to Emira and gave her a tissue.
“Sorry, we made you cry” Ez said while bowing his head, unable to look at Emira's puffy face.
*** Tomb of Khai's Mother***
From morning on, Khai sat next to his mother's grave. His gaze was empty, his body was also limp as it continued to be awake all night. In fact, he hasn't eaten anything since coming home from the concert.
‘Mother..bu,..I'm here now. Don't you want to see me?. I really want to see Mom. If I knew that afternoon was our last meeting, I would have gone with you. I... really want to see mom’ Khai let her tears flow, her breath stinged from feeling tightness.
‘Although I have friends who are like family, I still want my mother to be next to me. Even though they would hug me, but I still wanted to hug mom, even though they would listen to all my stories, but I wanted mom to be the first one to hear them. I have to how now?!’
Khai interrupted his words, he took a deep breath and exhaled violently.
‘I'm a bad kid, right?!. I can't even find mom, I wasn't there when she was sick either. Ak. I'm really a lousy kid. I'm sorry, bu’
Khai paused for a moment, then went back to saying, ‘They said, the lyrics I wrote are full of meaning and can make others motivated when they hear the lyrics sung. They're grateful for that. They should have thanked Mom. Because every time I write lyrics, my mom's face comes up. If mom is not present in my mind, how could I possibly write such beautiful lyrics, right?!’
‘Bu..I'm really tired now, I want to give up. Can I catch up with mom?!’
The cry of Khai grew more and more, he took out all the tightness he had harbored over the years. The person he wanted to meet the most, was no longer in this world. Now, only the mound of earth in front of him could he see.
