The Creak of my Friend's Bed

The Creak of my Friend's Bed
The Useless Regrets


Raka continues to persuade Vina to be willing to stay with him. But Vina stood firm, "sorry, I don't want to stay with you after what your Papah did. And I also forbid father and mother to stay with you."


"Dad-mom, I beg you to stay in this house with me. If mom and dad keep pushing, I'll go far and never come back."


Hearing the words from Vina, neither Sugeng's father nor Bu Riris dared to rebel. He also remained silent in the house.


"You don't know, do you, Mom? when my father and I were abandoned by you, the one who helped us was the woman you had hurt. The woman you betrayed, Kayla. If there is no him, somehow our fate at the time of expulsion from the house that you think is magnificent and not worthy of our stay."


Hearing what Vina just said, Alvin was shocked. He did not expect Kayla to be good. Though he had hurt himself to such an extent, but he was still willing to help Vina and her parents.


Raka was shocked too, in her heart was also amazed, "O Allah, so great is Mamahnya Kirana. Why is Kirana not like her Mom? That's barbaric, but I'm so in love with her that even now I can't move on."


Vina smiled sinisterly looking at Alvin, "why silence, mas? can't believe it or can't say it anymore? you better go home, Dech. Because we're not gonna be staying with you."


"Yes if it's like that, Auntie. Oma-Opa, we say goodbye and apologize for all the mistakes and sins papah huh?"


Raka very politely greeted Oma-Opa-Tante. He was really so disappointed for not succeeding in persuading Vina and her parents.


"Tante Vina, must have been so hurt that he was not willing to stay at Papah's house anymore. Oh Allah, so evil my papah. So many hearts are hurt," he murmured in his heart as he drove his car.


Alvin suddenly shed his tears, "Raka, Papah is sorry. Because of Papah's actions until Tantemu was furious."


"Sorry papah it's not to me, it should have been a papagh cry in front, Aunt Vina not in front of me. It's no use to me. Because every time I give advice, Papah. Never ignored, instead always angry with me by saying I'm this. should not advise parents."


"If at that time, papah could tolerate my words and reflect and self-correct, and improve would not be like this."


"Not always will we be strong, healthy, and always on top. Risa's spinning We don't know what sos will happen in the future."


"Now what I'm afraid of is really happening. At the time of this condition, no brother wants to be close to, papah. Although I have explained that Papah has been taking care, still Aunt Vina does not want to stay in our house."


"Father do not know, that the paralysis of Papah is forever and can not be cured, what else to be able to walk perfectly as before."


Raka flinched to talk like that. He involuntarily said something that he had been keeping in his heart.


Alvin who heard it was so shocked, "what did you just say? so papah will forever not be able to walk?"


Once again Alvin asked Rama about what he had just said, "Raka, answer the question papah? why just shut up?"


"Yes, when I get home from the hospital. The doctor said that Papah was completely paralyzed and would not be able to walk again. Because of the very hard impact on the papah tail bone. Although it has been operated but can not recover as usual," said Raka told the truth.


Suddenly Alvin again shed his tears," then for what function of the operation at that time?'


Raka also explained that if the time was not in surgery, Alvin's condition would be more severe. They can't get out of bed at all. And will just keep lying down. The operation was only to relieve Alvin's injury but not to recover it.


Alvin could no longer say anything, he could only regret everything that had happened. He is really down. And not even eager to live this life.


"O Allah, is this a punishment from You for what I have done in the past? I will not be able to face this life with this condition. Why should I get a punishment like this!"


Hearing what Alvin said, Raka let out a long sigh. He did not understand the nature of Alvin at all," astaghfirullah aladzim, should the papah give thanks because God still gives a chance of life for Papah. That way Papah can improve himself, by doing good."


"If Allah does not love Papah, Allah will take the life of Papah. Does Papah want it to be like that? take his life when he has not repented? Regret in the world can still be corrected rather than regret in the afterlife, will not be corrected."


"It is not good to curse like that, the sign that Papah has not realized all the mistakes and sins of Papah."


Alvin continued to cry bitterly, like someone who lived dead a loved one.


"Thank you, Raka. You reminded Papah. What you said is true. Amit-amit if Papah regrets like this but already in the grave. Raka, please accompany Papah to Ayu's house. Papah wants to apologize to him and his mother."


But Raka is not willing, on the grounds that she is in a job," tomorrow again, reward. Because I have business that cannot be left behind.'


Alvin was no longer able to force his will, he just silently daydreamed of self-pity, cursed himself. While Raka again drove his car towards home, without a word more.


Now the two are silent with each other. Until it did not feel it had reached the courtyard of the house. Raka goes to great lengths to help Alvin get out of the car.


The nurse was waiting on the porch.


"Well, I'll pick up all the workers I work here. Don't forget Papah also apologized to them huh?"
