Arya: (gently knocked the door) Excuse me.
After several minutes of waiting, the door swung open, revealed an old woman in a simple dress. As if she was the maid in the house. She dressed like that. It was Mbo Darmi, the house caretaker.
Mbo Darmi: yes? Who are you, young man? Do you need anything from us?
Arya: (seems hesitant for several times) Um— I'm here looking for Karin. Is she still at home?
Mbok Darmi: Miss... Karin? But, sir, miss Karin already—
???: Who's there, Darmi?
A voice cuts in, a beautiful woman who has distinctive similarity with Karin walking in, except that she has brown hair, and looks much older than Karin. She's Karin actual mom, Mrs. Karina. She held the arrogance on her stature. Especially when she walks.
Mbok Darmi: Ma'am, this young man looking for... Miss Karin, ma'am. (Mbok Darmi seems unsure to tell her master about Arya's intention)
Mrs. Karina: he's... What? (Mrs. Karina sounded disbelief, briskly walked right to Darmi's side. Her gaze right onto Arya) who are you? How did you know about my daughter, Karin?
Arya: (he looked disbelief himself he faced Karin's mom) I-I'm sorry ma'am, I didn't introduce myself, yet. I'm Arya, Karin's friend.
Karin's mom looked shock at first, but in a snap her reaction changed onto shocked on. She crumbled from her previous position, hugging herself as she started crying
Mrs. Karina: oh my God, Karin mama so sorry, so sorry my dear! Mama didn't trusted you back then! Ooh... (Sobbed)
Mbok Darmi and Arya: (shocked)
Darmi: Ma'am, please hold yourself!
Arya: w-what's wrong?! What happened to Karin's mother? What happened to Karin?!
Despite Arya curious, there was a dread feel running down his spine, he was afraid. Has a bad feeling about this. But Mrs. Karina brokenly spoke.
Mrs. Karina: I-I need to show something to you, Arya... Would you like to help this old lady and accompany me to some place? (She asks in broken voice)
Arya: S-sure... (Dubious)
After Mbok Darmi helped her master to prepared, both Mrs. Karina and Arya drove off to a certain place by use Arya's car. Karin's mom lead the way. It was long and tiring trip especially their destination seems quite far. But, the dread feel Arya witnessed beforehand, becoming a true.
(Upon arrived on the said place)
Arya: w-what is this...
Arya seems didn't believed his own eyes, right in front of her, is Karin's— grave. It was strengthen by the name's curved on the tomb. It written Karin full name.
Mrs. Karina: yes... Karin has been gone one month ago. Her weak immune can't stand anymore. She even couldn't raise from her bed back then... (Sobbed while hugging Karin's tomb)
Arya: what— n-no... (Tears slowly falling, as he fell on his knee. Right beside Karin's grave) Karin...
Mrs. Karina: her albino state different from the other... She was accompanied by weak immune systems and heart failure...
Arya: s-she not tell me about that!
Mrs. Karina: because she doesn't want you to be worried, Arya. At first, auntie though Karin being delusional because she told me about Arya; her best friend, b-but, seeing you here... I... (She cried once again, she feel guilty for didn't trust her daughter) Kariiinn, Arya's here, dear. Mama so sorry didn't trust you... Ohh, Karin... (Sobbed painfully)
Arya becoming speechless, more tears falling, streaked his face. He didn't believed this, felt like he was in a long dream, and woke up within a slap right on his face.
Arya: why... Why, Karin?! Why?!? I just want to tell you that I love you so much, Karin! I just want to tell you how precious you are in my live! But now, how could I continue on my dreams when you left me behind?!?
Arya felt so mad; not to Karin, but to himself. For him because was too late to say goodbye for Karin, for late to say his feeling right to the one he loved so much. It was really painful, for Arya. Because Karin was the one cheered him up in his dull live.
Mrs. Karina: I know this is hard, Arya... But please, don't mad at yourself... Karin gone away with smiling on her face... She never cried since she met you...
Mrs. Karina words just fell deaf to Arya, because he was believe, it was his fault, that a single tear never shed from Karin. Because he was a coward who never say anything to her.
