Sabtu kemarin, pas gue lagi di tol Jagorawi otw ke acara keluarga di Puncak, temen gue, Nia, tiba-tiba nge-PING! di BBM. Agak kaget sih karena Nia ini bukan tipe yang hobi pang-ping-pung kalo BBM-an, unless it’s urgent.
Nia: PING!
Nia: Ra, Mas Eri meninggal Ra.
Ira: Mas Eri mana nih? *berharap bukan Mas Eri temen akrab kita berdua*
Nia: Mas Eri Raaa… :’( :’(
Ira: Haahh??? :’(
Ira: Kapan Ni? Sakit apa? Dimana?
Nia: Barusan aja, 30 menit yang lalu. Kena stroke pas lagi liputan di pulau.
Gue langsung diem dan speechless. Langsung gue cek nama Mas Eri di BBM gue. Gue liat, tanggal 25 Nov, seminggu sebelumnya, kita baruu aja BBM-an ngomongin soal artikel. Gue cek twitternya, dia terakhir ngetwit 15 jam yang lalu.
End of the Journey

Last night, when I was enjoying my time with Nadira and hubby in front of our TV, a friend gave me a very bad news. My friend’s wife who’s in a coma for about a week passed away at around 9pm. All of a sudden, tears were raining down from my eyes. I sat in silence while hugging Nadira, trying to absorb the news and cherish my moment together with my family, all at one.
When I posted a little note about death, lots of my friends (who’re mostly mothers, btw) commented, they felt the same way as I did. It’s hard to imagine our children’s lives without us. Who will take care of them? Will they be well taken care of? Will they miss us, their mothers? Will they remember us? If they have stepmoms, will they experience bad things just like Cinderella or Arie Hanggara? And so on. And so on.
Tadi siang, gue melayat ke rumah duka tempat jenazah istrinya teman gue disemayamkan. I couldn’t hold back my tears anymore. And I guess, other people also felt the same way as I did. Gimana nggak? Temen gue berdiri di samping peti mati istrinya dan terlihat hancur banget. Begitu gue peluk, dia bilang “Ra, akhirnya jadi begini Ra” sambil nahan tangis.
On the contrary, di sebelahnya, their three-year-old daughter duduk sambil makan lolipop dengan wajah kalem dan senyum simpul. Tenang banget dia ngeliatin orang satu persatu yang datang, mengucapkan belasungkawa, memegang pipinya kemudian sibuk mencari tisu untuk mengelap air mata dan ingus yang keluar dari hidung masing-masing.
