The Faithful Guard at Kala Kubuta
The Cry of Destruction


...Have mercy on your tears! Say, if he's just wasted?...


...…...


The night has changed with the morning. Syafira was alone in this room, because today is the day of his parents' funeral. Initially, Syafira insisted on taking her parents to their final resting place. However, Hafidz strictly forbids Syafira to participate, because given the condition of Syafira that has not been fully cured. So, now he was alone in this room, by befriending an atmosphere so quiet without the slightest sound.


For now, Syafira is not able to wake up, because his body still feels pain due to the accident. Therefore, Syafira only slept with the head of the higher gurney, so Syafira could be said to be sitting for now.


His eyes were silent and did not know the direction. Not only that, the tears that had flowed on his cheeks were also not stopping to come out from earlier. The shadows where he and his parents were happy at the moment before the accident, why keep spinning endlessly in his mind.


"Ummy, Abi, can Ara come with you?" he said softly with the same position.


"No."


...


As per a request from Reval last night, with a heavy heart Riska delivered Reval to his ward Syafira. Meanwhile, Alex and Reno were the two of them along with Hafidz to the funeral of Princess and Reza.


And now here they are, in front of Syafira's nursery. However, when they were about to approach the door of the room, suddenly Riska's phone rang, a sign that someone was calling her. Riska grabbed her phone in her bag and checked who called her.


"Who, Bun?" reval asked in surprise.


"Friends Mother," replied Riska, after she saw that her friend's name was plastered on the screen of her phone.


"Oh yaudah, Mother lift it first, let Reval first enter." break up Reval.


"But, Son. Mother is afraid later you why." worried about the Mother to her son.


"Mother do not have to worry, Reval will be fine, really." said Reval reassuringly, but still make the Mother worried.


"But, Son ...."


"Udah Bun, not pa-pa, really." said Reval again reassured the Mother.


"Well, if so, let Mommy pick up the phone first." break up Riska and after that leave the Son who also went straight to the door of Syafira's nursery. However, just now that Reval wanted to open the doorknob, he vaguely heard the shrill from someone behind the door. This is the uniqueness of Reval. Since childhood, Reval has been awarded by the Creator an advantage that may only some people have, namely Reval can hear sounds that have sound frequencies below the normal limits of human hearing frequency in general.


Reval quickly opened the door of Syafira's ward, and he said, "No."


Reval, who saw Syafira like this, was initially confused. However, after a few seconds, his confusion finally disappeared. Reval could see what was happening to Syafira at this time, through the movements made by Syafira himself.


"The world may be so cruel, but that's the fact and it can't be changed" Reval said as he walked towards the seat next to Syafira's gurney. Syafira could only remain silent, when she heard Reval speaking again.


"I'm sorry my father, for causing the accident." continued Reval, who now prefers to stare at the floor. Hearing that sentence, with so calm Syafira tears just flowed back.


"Don't cry, pity those tears, how many drops has she wasted?" With a tone that remained flat, Reval still chose to stare at the floor. Unlike Syafira whose gaze is never necessarily direction.


"Hiksss ... everything is over .. hiksss .. I'm not sure I can survive in this world .. hikss ..." shouts Syafira just like that, with tears that are increasingly unable to be held again. Reval who heard that was initially confused to answer, but for a few seconds later, he opened his voice again. "Nothing is over and everything has just begun" said Reval who is still as flat as before.


Shafira was surprised to hear that. "What does anta mean?" ask Syafira flatly. "We'll see later." replied Reval casually, in contrast to Syafira who was even more confused. However, not long after Riska entered the room Syafira.


"Assalamu'alaikum ..." he entered Syafira's room.


"Wa'alaikumussalam warahmatullahi wabarakatuh ..." replied Syafira so softly, while Reval only answered the greeting in his heart, and Syafira could also hear it. Syafira was really confused by this herself, because why was she now able to hear the inner voice of others, whereas before not? And of course, it made him feel impossible.


"Who?" syafira asked with a little fear. Yes, naturally Syafira was afraid, as if now he was blind, there could be bad people who would hurt him, right?


Riska, who heard this, smiled for a while before answering Syafira's question. "You don't have to worry, son. I am the wife of the one who has run over your family" Riska said with her mother.


Shafira, who heard it again, again let her tears flow. Riska who saw the tears became immediately confused, in contrast to Reval who instead leaned on a chair and looked at Syafira so flat, while folding both hands in front of the chest.


"I'm sorry Auntie, son. Had it been, that night we were more careful, maybe this incident would not have happened." regretted Riska just like that.


"Hiksss ... hiksss ..." only the sound of crying echoed in this room. Quickly, Riska immediately hugged Syafira so warmly. "Aunty promised, Auntie will meet all your needs, as long as we get your forgiveness" Riska said as she embraced Syafira.


"Hiksss ... previously thank you Aunt, but I do not need that help, Syafira only need the figure of ummy ... hiksss ..." soed Syafira when his embrace was released.


"Until when are you going to be this selfish?" It was not Riska who asked, but Reval. Thus, making Riska look sharply at him. "Reval!" riska's sweat, but Reval doesn't care about it at all.


"I told you, stop crying and just be sure, that everything will be fine" said Reval so coldly, then after that he went straight out of Syafira's room and went to his own nursery. "What a hard thing to try, stop crying, you cry." Inner Reval when leaving the room Syafira and yes, it can also be heard by Syafira so clearly.


"Reval! Astaghfirullah ..." The frustration of Riska which was not even responded by the Empu. Riska can only resign with the attitude of her son on this one.


"Son, Aunt apologized for the audacity of Reval earlier, yes" Riska said regrettably. Syafira who heard the regretful voice immediately felt pity and Syafira could only smile as she said, "Aunte just chase after her, maybe she needs an aunt now." Riska who heard it immediately ran away from the nursing room Syafira, although not running as in general. And yes, Riska also immediately approached the Son who was already in his room.
