Amanita phalloides
let's grow together

Guests one by one went home, some relatives also went straight home to their respective homes. Even Oma and Opa went straight back to Bandung because he said he could not if they had to linger here, they were afraid of being too late in the sadness and shadows of their daughters.

There was a sense of hesitation in Kafin's heart to step inside the house. Silence welcomed his presence, there was only the figure of Raskal's uncle who was sitting in the middle house, while working using his laptop.

"Son, you take a shower. Uncle has taken food for you to eat" he said when he saw the presence of Kafin.

Kafin nodded his head, he stepped his feet up the stairs. The man's eyes stared at the one door of the room that would no longer be inhabited. When he opened the door knob, there was only silence that welcomed his presence. The feeling of tightness slowly again gnawed at him, because when entering this room, there will be no more mother who is playing with her skincare or father who is sitting in a mattress while working. Usually Kafin will avoid entering this room, because mother will force her to use her favorite skincare. Usually Kafin will prefer to stay in his own room.

If you can repeat the time, Kafin will definitely prefer to accompany his mother to play with her skincare, rather than go out with her friends.

However, instead of turning around and entering his room next door, the man prefers to sleep on a mattress belonging to both parents. He prefers to feel the feeling of tightness that is endless, until the tears fall again. Only a few hours ago Kafin buried them, but only a few hours ago he saw their faces so calm. But why now the feeling of longing again perched in his heart. Why did this feeling of tightness continue to settle in his already extremely chaotic mind.

Crying managed to come out of Kafin's mouth, he again wept for his parents' loss. What was different from before was that he only cried alone without being accompanied by the cries of others. Even Raskal's uncle, who was about to take Kafin to a meal because his nephew did not come down, preferred to stay behind the door while listening to the desperate cries of his nephew who kept calling his parents.

"Boy, mbak. You left your beloved son. You left Kafin alone like gini. Look, she's even crying all the time from morning" 

In fact, all this sadness is only part of God's destiny, all this loss is just natural selection to make man return to his creator. There is nothing sad about being abandoned by the people we love. There was nothing much more sad than the regret left behind in their deaths. Sentences if and if it continues to be echoed, causing sincere words difficult to become friends.

*****

It has been almost a week since the death of Kafin's parents, a week since the young man skipped school and never got out of the house. Kafin who usually always sits in the gazebo while playing with his favorite guitar, is now gone. The man was completely dissolved in his sadness. Several times Freya came to the young man's house, only to find him very worried, Kafin already seemed to have no hope of continuing his life.

Even when Raskal's uncle decided to return home to Banten, Kafin only escorted him to the porch of the house. He even refused when invited to come to Banten, he said no papa, he did not papa. With doubt, Raskal's uncle eventually left Kafin alone, if he did not have a job there, maybe he would stay longer to accompany his nephew. Now in the mansion, there is only the figure of Kafin accompanied by the shadow of his parents.

"Bun, Aya pamit. Assalamu'alaikum" 

With a little running, Freya walked towards the Kafin house. Her tiny hand knocked on the door several times, like the days before, every morning she would take Kafin to school together. Although every day Freya had to get a feeling of disappointment, because the young man did not want to open the door.

Even today he had to go back to wasting his disappointed breath, Kafin did not open the door for him. "Caffirm!!! What school do you want?!! Just a moment to report!! I miss you so much!!! He said the basketball team lost a grandu if there was no captain!!" Freya Shouted.

Let's get cobalagi tomorrow, no papa. Don't over-burden the man, for forcing him to go faster. It seems that today Freya has to go back to school on an angkot, she can not ask brother Darpa to take her. Because right now, she is in Surabaya to prepare for her wedding. 

Alhamdulillah, it turns out the struggle of brother Darpa and mother who went all the way to Surabaya fruitful sweet. After deliberation with spiced up a bit of a fuss, finally the decision to continue the relationship of brother Darpa and mbak Rania was elected. The person who was betrothed to Rania chose to withdraw after asking Rania about who she would choose. Which of course Mbak Rania chose brother Darpa, he was more confident to brother Darpa when he saw the earnestness of his lover.

Mbak Rania was even surprised to find out, if Kak Darpa had prepared a house in Jakarta for both of them to occupy after marriage. A deal to give half of Darpa's salary to Rania and the other half to her mother and sister Freya's survival was chosen. Finally, Rania's family understood, when it knew the family condition of the prospective ironclad.

Freya jumped in shock when she heard the sound of the garage door opening, followed by the figure of Kafin who rode his motorcycle "Kafin?" Ask surprised.

"Don't you bengong aja? Up" he said.

Freya immediately walked towards Kafin and then rode a motorcycle driven by the young man. "Handle" he said.

Freya's right hand slowly extended to embrace Kafin's waist, because his left hand was still broken and not allowed to be moved "your hand is still broken?" Ask Kafin.

Freya nodded her head "yes, the doctor said in a week's time"

"Jude, the grip is strong"

With the speed of the motor that is not too fast, Kafin brought his motorbike to the School. Freya thought the young man today would not return to school, apparently her conjecture was wrong. Couldn't Kafin be too soluble in his sadness? Either way, his life must go on. "My parents would be very sad to see me slumped like that" as if knowing the contents of Freya's heart, Kafin gave his year without needing to be asked.

During the trip to school, Kafin continued to tell the story, a Kafin figure that was very new to Freya. Either this is indeed the true Kafin figure, or perhaps this is the young man's way of dispelling any of his sorrows.
