Nine years ago.
The sky blackened, a sign that soon will bring down the water. The wind has also given a message, the message of the coming rain.
“Daddy, where are we going?” ask one of the little girls, Reva. He hugged a teddy bear.
“We'll go pick up the capital in the next city. He must be waiting for you, ” replied the bespectacled man who is his father, Alfred.
Erva elbowing Reva. “Are you scared, Reva?”
Reva shook her head strongly. “What is afraid of?”
White lines in the sky. Shortly a thunderous sound was heard. Reva shouted, hurriedly hugging her father.
“Who claimed not to be afraid?” ledek Erva's.
Reva's head poked out from his father's body. “If there is no lightning, I am not afraid.”
“Weak basis.”
“Already. Now get in the car. Who wants to sit in the front seat?” ask Alfred.
Reva raised her hand immediately. “Reva! Reva!” his yell.
The sky is getting blackened. Rumbles broke the sky. The rain started knocking on the roof of their car.
Reva's body shook. Every now and then he looked out the window, but all he encountered was a white light followed by lightning.
“Dad, I'm afraid,” shriveled. He approached his teddy bear tightly.
“If you are afraid, you can try to sleep like Erva did,” replied her father who was still focused on driving.
His sight was not distorted in the slightest.
The rain was getting heavier, even making visibility limited. Reva looked at the back seat, finding her twin brother asleep.
“Tapi—“
The lightning returned. This time his voice was more powerful than the one before. Reva screamed, waking Erva up.
“Emmm... Have we arrived?” tanyakanya. Erva was still half conscious. He rubbed his eyes.
“We are already in the middle of the journey,” replied his father.
“Already, you don't be afraid, Reva. If we have arrived, we will definitely give a surprise to Mother,” said Erva, trying to calm her twin. “Try to imagine how Mom's expression will be.”
Reva gulped, nodding.
“Now it's noon. But it is this heavy rain that makes it seem as if it is night,” Alfred replied.
From the opposite direction, a truck drove at high speed.
“Dad, there is a light up in front there,” said Reva while pointing forward.
Alfred squinted his eyes. “Dad can't see it clearly. Rainwater covers the glass of this car.”
“Awas!”
Rain is the main problem. The collision was inevitable. The big accident happened on the climb, a place that is prone to accidents.
In that incident, a shard of car glass stabbed Alfred. Reva who sat on the front bench was also affected. His head hit the windshield of the car, making blood unceasingly flow from his head. The car door next to Reva opened, causing him to fall into a ravine beneath which was water.
Erva was pushed forward.
The car they were riding in, was filled with blood. This event took Alfred's life. Reva, whose whereabouts were not found, was declared dead. Erva is the only one believed to be a survivor. He also suffered heavy injuries as a result of the incident.
A few days after Erva's condition improved, she only found her mother crying in the living room. He hugged a picture, a picture of them.
“Mother, where's Reva? Dad no longer exists?” tanyakanya.
His mother nodded slowly, still crying. “Mom doesn't know. Now Reva is gone.”
Erva speechless. He saw the bandages that covered his wounds. His eyes were in tears. “Cannot be. Reva must be alive, ma'am. He's alive.”
Their mother was always moody after the incident. For days he locked himself in a room. Once he went outside, facing the ravine where Reva fell. Until just after a month of the event, he could finally slightly mengikhlaskan the departure of his loved ones. She focuses on working, taking over her husband's responsibilities, and supporting her only daughter, Erva.
Meanwhile, the accident had a huge impact on Erva's mental development. He's been through a lot of trauma. Therefore, he became a closed child and always looked moody. In his heart, he was always convinced, his brother was still alive.

“Dead Dad and Reva, Mom always locked herself in the room. Sometimes I see her crying while looking at her pictures. Until finally, Mom got back up. He replaced Dad as the head of the family. He continues to work to meet the needs of our lives. I've tried very hard,” explained Erva. “Now Mom is very busy working. He rarely goes overtime. For me, loneliness like this is common.”
Erva's eyelashes are soaked in tears. “I was so happy when I saw Reva actually appear in front of me. My long-lost sister, who was thought to be dead, is really with me now. It's like a dream. But I also feel sad because she doesn't recognize me at all.”
“Reva can definitely remember it. But it all takes time,” Kevin said.
“You're right.” Erva frowned looking at Kevin. “If it's not wrong, your name is Kevin Ardhana. Right?”
Kevin nodded. “It turns out you know my name, even still remember it.”
“Yes, there are only a few names that I can remember when SMP,” Erva replied. “Oh yes, what exactly are you doing in Semala? Where did you guys come from?”
“We are from Shomba. Our school, Shomba High School 3 held a visit to Semala museum,” replied Vian.
"We'll be back to school soon."
"But what about Reva?" ask Bella.
"I'm better." Reva suddenly woke up. He sat down, looking at them one by one. "I'm coming home to Shomba."
