“Kenapa nggak bilang kalau lo punya janji di rumah? Dua minggu lagi ada touring lain. Harusnya kita bisa ikut yang itu aja. Gue jadi nggak enak, Prabu …. Kan gue yang ngajak. Ck!” Satria mengacungkan tinjunya. “Gue cuma kasian sama duda kalau nggak ada yang nemenin. Coba Roman doyan motor dan masuk club kita. Bisa berduaan terus lo berdua karena berstatus pria single,” seru Prabu lagi. “Roman, sih, doyannya night club, bukan club motor!” balas Satria, terbahak di motornya. “Atau sekali-kali lo ikut Roman ke night club. Biar aura lajang Roman nular. Lo nggak kayak duda anak satu lagi!” Prabu lalu tertawa terbahak-bahak. Setengah jam saling berbalas omongan, jalan yang ditempuh semakin mendaki. Permainan gas, kopling dan rem dilakukan dengan handal oleh peserta tour agar motor tetap stabil di tanjakan. Jalan berliku-liku dan mereka nyaris tiba di titik istirahat pertama saat hujan mulai turun. Awalnya hujan tipis, namun kemudian semakin deras. Airnya meluncur membasahi jaket kulit yang membalut rapat tubuh mereka. Dua pria bertubuh nyaris sama tinggi dan tegapnya saling pandang. Satria melirik langit. Terlihat awan gelap bergulung makin menebal. Di sisi kirinya, Prabu menoleh sambil tertawa kecil. "Gas, nggak?" "Tunggu reda dikit, Bu. Anginnya kenceng banget. Neduh dulu, yuk.” Satria menyalakan lampu sen, menuju bawah jembatan kecil. Satria tidak punya firasat apa pun. Pagi itu semuanya normal dan semuanya baik-baik saja. Prabu ada janji dengan keluarga kecilnya dan ia sendiri berjanji akan menjemput Nayla; putrinya di rumah mantan istrinya. Akhir pekan adalah giliran ia menjalankan co-parenting untuk gadis kecil semata wayangnya. Bagi Satria sendiri, ia merasa tidak ada yang berbeda dengannya. Prabu juga cerita seperti biasa. Kecuali kalau boleh dibilang agak berbeda, Prabu memang kadang-kadang diam dan mengecek ponselnya sedikit lebih lama. Prabu kadang berdecak dan menghela napas panjang. Meski sepintas, Satria melihat perubahan wajah sahabatnya itu. “Ada masalah?” tanya Satria saat mereka berdiri bersisian di bawah jembatan. “Nggak adalah. Memangnya muka gue keliatan muka pria ada masalah?” Prabu meninju lengan Satria sambil tertawa. Sama cerianya seperti kemarin-kemarin. "Itu yang lain udah pada jalan. Ada iring-iringan club mobil juga kayaknya. Kita ikut aja. Biar cepet sampai." Prabu naik ke motor dan menyalakannya. "Udah, santai aja. Kita nggak perlu nyusulin yang lain. Masih deras,” kata Satria, berjalan ke tepi jembatan dan mendongak. “Ayo, deh. Gue nggak mau kalau Sheza dan Dio nunggu gue kelamaan.” Prabu bersiap-siap memakai sarung tangannya. Satria meraih lengan Prabu, menahannya. Rautnya jadi ikut gelisah. “Lo tuh, ya. Kalau memang ada janji sama Sheza dan Dio harusnya nggak perlu iyain kalau gue ajak. Asli gue jadi kasian sama mereka. Mau digas sekarang juga jalanan licin, Bu.” Jawaban Prabu saat itu hanya mengangkat bahu. Ia menepuk lengan Satria sebelum melaju. “Ayo, Sat! Gue tinggal juga, nih,” katanya. Entah karena memang firasat, atau entah karena ia yang ingin menghabiskan waktu sedikit lebih lama untuk bercakap-cakap sesama pria. Yang jelas, tak ada alasan lagi untuk berdiri di bawah jembatan kecil itu tanpa Prabu. Satria segera menyalakan motor dan melesat untuk memperpendek jarak dengan sahabatnya. Tikungan sempit. Aspal basah. Kabut putih menelan pandangan. Satria menahan napas. Ia tak melihat lampu belakang motor Prabu. Tangan kanannya menekan gas tapi kemudian urung karena dari arah berlawanan terlihat padat. Ketika pikiran ragu-ragu itu muncul, sebuah bunyi memekakkan telinga membuat matanya terpejam sepersekian detik. BRAAAK! Raungan klakson panjang. Suara besi menghantam besi. Suara yang membuat ulu hati siapa pun mencelos. Satria baru saja keluar dari tikungan ketika dunia dirasanya melambat. Ia melihat sesuatu terlempar ke udara. Sebentuk siluet yang sangat ia kenal. Helm pecah dan serpihannya melayang bersama air hujan. Mata Satria tertuju pada sesuatu. Motor Prabu yang menghantam pembatas jalan, lalu tergilas keras oleh truk kontainer yang tak sempat mengerem. Dentuman logam menggemuruh membuat detik itu tangannya reflek menarik rem. Semua kendaraan di depannya kini terhenti dan gaduh. Satria melompat turun dari motornya. Jantungnya berdebar tak karuan. Ia berlari dengan teriakan tanpa suara. Tak tahu harus berlari ke mana. Darah di mana-mana. Helm Prabu pecah. Ringsek. Tangannya terangkat ke atas. Gemetar menggapai udara. Memegangi kepalanya dengan linglung. “PRABU!” jerit Satria. “Prabu …!” Satria kembali menjerit. Tubuh sahabatnya itu tergeletak di bawah truk. Masih bernapas. Ia masih melihat Prabu menghela napas meski kepayahan. Matanya separuh terbuka. Bibirnya terbuka pelan. Mencoba mengatakan sesuatu yang tak bisa ditangkap telinga. “Tolong! Tolong!” jerit Satria, meraba-raba ponsel dan menekan nomor darurat yang bisa diingatnya saat itu. ***** (IGD Rumah Sakit Pinggiran Kota) Satria berdiri membeku. Bajunya basah kuyup. Sepatunya berlumpur. Jaket kulitnya tertempel bercak darah yang sudah mengering. Sejak tadi tatapannya tak beranjak dari sosok tampan yang kini bergeming dengan wajah penuh luka lecet. Bagian sisi kanan kepalanya ada jahitan besar. Seorang dokter menutup catatan medis, suaranya datar. “Kepalanya parah, ada pendarahan masif. Kami sudah berusaha, Pak.” Kalimat itu seperti palu godam, tapi Satria bergeming. Rahangnya mengeras, matanya memerah. Ia hanya menatap kain putih yang kini menutupi sahabatnya hingga dada. Tangan Prabu sudah rapi disedekapkan. Suster berjalan pelan ke arahnya. "Bapak kenal korban?" Satria mengangguk seraya menelan ludah. Rahangnya tiba-tiba saja mengeras. "Saya kenal istrinya. Biar saya yang kasih tau,” ucapnya. Entah sudah berapa kali ia mengusap wajahnya sejak tadi. Air mata yang berusaha dihalaunya tak kunjung berhenti. “Bapak telepon atau kita….” “Saya yang kabari langsung. Saya ke rumahnya sekarang.” Satria menggigit bibir bawahnya. “Sekalian urus surat-suratnya juga,” tambahnya pelan. Kali ini sepertinya ia harus benar-benar meninggalkan perawat itu. …At this moment, she was both shocked and afraid, too late to think about how the fire started. Her mind was in chaos, and her last thought was of the child in her belly. She felt her heart and courage shattered, tears streaming down uncontrollably, but soon they were dried up by the flames.As the fire grew bigger and bigger, she felt surrounded and trapped in the inferno. Despair engulfed her, and even though she covered her nose and mouth with a wet cloth, she knew she couldn't hold out for long in the intense heat. Looking at the piled blankets on the bed and thinking of the flesh and blood in her womb, Selena gritted her teeth. She was determined to fight, either to burn to death or to escape alive with her child.Just as she took a few steps back, preparing to close her eyes and charge forward, the door suddenly burst open with a loud bang, as if someone had kicked it from outside. A figure rushed in.The comer was none other than Lucio, who had been too busy to come home for dinn
The morning sunlight streamed through the window into the room as Selena and Lucio got up early to prepare for a special day — the baptism ceremony of Selena's brother, Adrés. Selena wore an exquisite dress, smiling as she held hands with Lucio in the carriage, feeling full of anticipation.The carriage slowly made its way through the streets of the town and soon arrived at the church. The baptism ceremony proceeded solemnly and warmly, with family members gathering together to witness this special moment. Adrés was cleansed with holy water, appearing incredibly sacred and pure. Selena and Lucio felt immensely happy and content in their hearts.After the ceremony, the family gathered together to enjoy a lavish lunch, with the table filled with various delicacies. However, when it was Selena's turn to taste the food, she felt nauseous and had no appetite, hardly able to eat anything. Her face turned pale, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, indicating obvious discomfort.L
Perhaps feeling refreshed and comfortable without any sweat on his body, the man nodded in agreement. Selena supported his arm and helped him lean against the edge of the bed, although he didn't really need her help, as he was able to prop himself up with his own arm strength. With her limited strength, she couldn't even move his body.After a while, when the meal was brought in, Selena smelled the aroma of the food and heard the man's stomach growling with hunger. She couldn't help but smile, knowing that hunger was a sign of improvement in his condition. These days, he had only consumed some thin porridge and a bellyful of medicinal soup. Selena instructed Mariana to place the meal on the low table by the bed.Then, she uncovered the lid of the soup bowl. A person who had just recovered from a serious illness would have a weak digestive system and would need something soft and easy to digest. Today, she had the kitchen prepare some meat congee, where the meat had been stewed until it
The wound continued to bleed, and despite applying pressure, the bleeding wouldn't stop. After a moment, Mariana brought the Achillea millefolium powder Selena had prepared. Selena then poured some hot water into a porcelain bowl and mixed in all the miraculous water droplets she had generated earlier with the Achillea millefolium powder, creating a paste. She then cleaned the wound and applied a thick layer of the paste before covering it with a white cloth, repeating the process for the other wounds.When the two of the king's physicians arrived, Selena had already cleaned her hands. The older and younger physicians opened their medical kits and proceeded to examine the wounds. The older physician, pinching the paste on the wound with his fingers, turned to Selena and asked, “Madam, who dressed this wound?”Selena, feeling a bit embarrassed about her crude dressing, replied anxiously, “I did. Seeing the severe bleeding, I was in a hurry and used the common method my father often used
