the only older brother

Start from the beginning
                                    

His tears fell. There's no other expression than sadness and desperation on his face.

He fell on his leg, hugging the corner of Taufan's bed.

"..why aren't you here?" , he asked, his tears fell on the blue bed sheet.

"Why don't you greet me with your cheerful grin Taufan? You usually did that everyday right?", Gempa asked as he cried.

Yesterday feels like a nightmare.

The real nightmare,

It feels so real that even after he woke up, Taufan is still not here.

Gempa could remember the days where Taufan used to greet him with his cheerful voice back then.

Or even the days where he greeted him with a weak voice, with a pale face but still managed to smile.

If you are hurting, why don't you say so?

I'm your brother.

Why are you hiding your pain?

You always hides it, your pain, your blood.

Throwing such a pitiful excuses to hides it.

"Remember that day, Hali?", Gempa asked Hali who is standing in front of the door.

"When Taufan suddenly cried after he wakes up, that day where he desperately telling us not to go anywhere.." , Gempa said as he reminiscing about that day.

"I thought about it, what kind of nightmare that could make him that broken? What kind of nightmare that could make him cried that much..", Gempa said.

"...don't you think now we are experiencing the real thing?", Gempa asked him.

He asked Hali, The only person who is older than him.

There used to be two person that is older than him.

But not anymore.

"I want to understand.."

"About everything, about his pain, about his reason..", Gempa said to him.

"So that we won't blame him anymore.", Gempa said.

"It's unfair for him, it's unfair for us too.", Gempa said.

They are old enough to understand that blaming the other people is only their way of coping with their sadness.

Gempa didn't want his brother to be the person that got blamed even after his death.

Hali walks inside that room too, he shivered for a bit when he step in.

"The room..it's too tidy for someone like him right?", Hali asked Gempa, he sit beside Gempa.

His eyes looks desperate too, but it's not that eyes that filled with question and frustration anymore.

"We know him for the longest, Gempa.", Hali said.

"The three of us.", Hali said.

"But as we grow older, sometimes i feel that he began to restrain himself.", Hali said.

"He is never obliged to bear those burden alone, but he did.", Hali said.

"People always said that he is cheerful and airheaded, but we know more than anyone, that he is more than that, right?", Hali said, his hand patted Gempa's back.

His eyes stare at the window, the wide glass window, outside is a big space, with a lot of stars and planets.

"As i thought, being sad together is better than bearing everything alone.", he said, he hugged Gempa.

"But that idiot, he never understand about this thing, right?", he said.

Gempa nodded, "he never learn.."

"That's why..", Hali's word stopped for a bit.

"We have to make sure to force him to learn about these things after he gathered with us again." , Hali said to Gempa.

Gempa's eyes got wider, somehow he never expected that Hali will be this positive.

"...don't stare at me like that. I know that it sounds too hopeful.", Hali smiled bitterly.

"It's difficult for me too, you know.. keep telling myself that he will be back, even if it feels so impossible.", Hali said.

"But now, i'm the only older brother you got, right?", Hali said to him.

He patted Gempa's head. It's usually Gempa who acted like the mature one.

Or even if one of them needs comfort, it's usually Taufan who comforted them with his soothing and cheerful words.

But now, if they couldn't rely on their remaining brothers, who should they rely on?

Hali knows that it will be difficult for all of them.

Keeping the faith that as thin as an air.

"It's two days from now on right? Let's do our best to pass these days, and let's find the truth after that.", Hali said.

At least, i will pretend to be strong.

Just like you.

Right? Taufan.
