9. Three Victims

After running from Seno, Sazkia went to the health room. She wanted to meet Syamsa and clarify everything. Neutralizing the real problem doesn't have to be exaggerated.

Arriving at the health center, Sazkia tries to find Syamsa. Sazkia was still panting, exhausted after running for about two kilometers. Without looking at the people at the health center, Sazkia stepped inside. She was disappointed when there was no one  She was looking for there. Wildan approached the brooding Sazkia at the entrance. Wildan knew Sazkia was looking for Syamsa to clarify. Wildan didn't want Sazkia to be disappointed to see Qomar and Syamsa hugging in a corner of a closed cupboard.

"Have you prayed?" Sazkia shook her head.

"When you have a problem, whisper to Allah, then He will answer you with the most beautiful solution"

Sazkia nodded. Wildan's beautiful sentence made her heart tremble. She regretted what She had done. Running from problems and indulging the ego without thinking that there is Allah who is everything.

"Thank you, Doctor."

"No need to mellow like that. I want to laugh seeing you. If now Allah makes you cry, rest assured. He is saving you from keeping the wrong soul mate. "

"I'm not crying, Doctor."

"It's not in your physique. But your heart? Who knows?"

"Only me and my God know."

"Yes. You are right."

"I'll pray first, Doctor."

Wildan nodded. Lina who had been hearing Wildan and Sazkia's conversation could only be silent without interrupting. She followed Sazkia's steps towards the mosque. Arriving at the mosque, they performed ablution and immediately joined other congregations to pray together.

“Saz, we lose if we only focus on our sadness. There are so many handsome men besides Qomar."

Sazkia smiled confirming Lina's words. Sazkia, who had started to control herself, looked at Lina silently.

"Have you found it?"

"Yes."

"Who?'

"Em. . . don't look. I'll show you as long as you keep your eyes on me. Didn't look up at him, Ok?'

"Ok."

Sazkia nodded. She tried to control herself. She also tried to obey everything Lina asked. Lina, who was sure of Sazkia's promise, immediately brought her lips closer to Sazkia's ear

“He is wearing a green shirt. He's a soldier. He's in the very front corner. He was looking at you"

Sazkia nodded slowly. Her head, which She had ordered automatically to turn to the man Lina was pointing to through her sentence, She immediately directed to where Prasetya made Lina hit her.

"Ow, it hurts, Lin."

“ You promised not to look at him? ”

Prasetya smiles seeing the actions of the two girls in the back row who are staring at him. He waved his hand and smiled at Lina. Lina smiled then nodded.

"What did the senior doctor say earlier at the health post?"

Sazkia tries to change the conversation about Prasetya even though She knows Lina is still angry.

"I forget."

"What? Forget? How can you forget? "

"I have no idea. I only think of you. That's why I don't remember any words that Doctor Fatah said. "

"Alright. I'll ask Doctor Wildan. "

"Where were you?"

"To the river."

"To the river? Where is the river? '

"In the West. I also just found out that there is a small river with fast water. It looks terrible but there is no other choice. I sit on the boulder and calm myself down. "

“Then?"

"There is no continuation. "

It's still afternoon. The rain that had subsided since two o'clock made the SAR commander decide to search for victims. Everyone present followed the instructions. Going downstairs with makeshift tools in search of landslide victims who had been buried for four days.

Sazkia and her friends returned to the kitchen. Syamsa, who is getting healthy, follows in Sazkia's footsteps. She joined Sazkia and did not want the others,

"What's the point of following us?"

 "Leave her alone."

Lina frowned at Syamsa. She knew there was a new plan he was going to do with Sazkia.

"I know, She definitely wants to mess up your situation"

"Don't kill yourself, Lin. Let's just pray that She will turn out well. "

"I'm not sure"

"What's not sure, lin?"

Syamsa, who had been silent while wrapping food, immediately jumped in. She looked at Lina with a sharp gaze. her emotions were almost running high if only She didn't remember her main purpose. upsets Sazkia's feelings

“Never be hostile to me because I will make you cry blood. Here who has everything is me. Not you who pretend to be volunteers, when in fact you just want to find faces. "

Sazkia and Lina were silent. They are still continuing their activities without a word. Until sunset, many volunteers came with hoes. Some tell stories about failures and some are getting busy cleaning up.

"Hi, prepare the place for the body."

Someone Screamed. Everyone in the camp was stunned. see each other. they were trying to figure out what was going on with just their eyes.

"Is there a discovery?"

A voice shocked everyone at the camp. No one answered. They don't know the certainty of the answer. They just have logic. When someone asks for a body bag, it means that a body has been found.

“Three people who are hugging and inseparable. The body bag doesn't fit. "

The soldier carrying the hoe calmly replied. gasping breath. He was exhausted after several hours of evacuation. His body was dirty, lots of dirt stuck to it and some parts of his feet were bleeding.

“Subhanallah, all the pockets here are small. Larger sizes are brought to the west of the Gebang river. "

A SAR team member who is still busy sorting out panic bags. Everyone looked at each other. People in the kitchen and at the camp gathered to add to the tense atmosphere.

"Qomar, are they a woman and two men?"

Syamsa asked, hugging Qomar's muddy body. She didn't even care about the condition of his clothes getting muddy.

"Yes."

“Mama, Papa, and Brother Rino? Is that them? "

Qomar looked at Syamsa then let go of the spoiled girl in front of him. He never saw the Syamsa family. However, hearing Syamsa's question, he was sure that the victim who had just been found was indeed Syamsa's family. Qomar chose to shake his head. he didn't want to get the wrong answer.

"Sulis!"

Qomar looked at Sulis who was standing near Sazkia. Sulis, who was standing still looking, turned around. She saw Qomar wave his right hand and extend Syamsa's hand with his left. Sulis moved Closer to Qomar.

"Please hold Syamsa. I'll wash up for a bit. "

Sulis stretched out her hand to hold Syamsa according to Qomar's instructions. Syamsa initially refused, but seeing Qomar's dirty condition finally gave up.

"Please set the table, and we will try to clean the body and will identify the body and hand it over to the family." SAR commander orders. All residents seemed busy preparing according to orders. Some ran to get rid of chairs and tables in the hall, some came with cloth and some prepared a place to bathe the corpse in the corner of the courtyard.

"Why do I feel sad, Lin? My chest was beating wildly violently. " Whispered Sazkia. She held on to Lina's arm which was also tense. Seeing Sazkia's hand wrapped around her arm, Lina tightened her grip.

"Maybe someone is thinking about you."

Sazkia closed her eyes, took a deep breath, held it in her stomach and then exhaled through her mouth. Many times She did it in order to reduce the heartbeat suddenly vibrating rapidly. She didn't know what would happen next. The one She wants, whatever She will face, She hopes to get through it well.

"Are you thinking about Syamsa and the three bodies that were just found?"

Sazkia shook her head.

“I don't think they are Syamsa’s family. I still hope the Syamsa family is still alive, even though I don't know where it is. "

"You can be that noble to her but why can't She be just a little kind to you huh?"

 "Never mind. Let's go to the health room. I'm getting nauseous if I'm here for a long time. "

"Come on."

Lina led Sazkia and left the hall where the three bodies were to be bathed.

"Why are you here?" asked Wildan, smiling. He knew Sazkia was worried about something even though Sazkia didn't say anything to him.

"I'm nauseous, Doc. There it smells amazing. "

Sazkia immediately lay down on the empty bed, resting her brain which was filled with something. Wildan and Lina who watched Sazkia's activities could only look at her in silence.

"Would you like some coffee?" offered Lina. Sazkia shook her head.

"To reduce your nausea, Saz."

Sazkia still shook her head once again. Wildan looked at Sazkia in pity. He immediately went into his room, took the mask and handed it to the girl who was now trying to arrange herself while lying down and closing her eyes.

"Wear this mask, hope it can help you."

Sazkia opened her eyes then grabbed the mask and put it on.

"Thank you, Doctor."

"For a soulmate you don't always need to say thank you for my help."

"Soulmate?"

"Yes. You are my soulmate. "

Sazkia lowered her head and smiled.

"Thanks'

"Don't say thanks again. I hate. "

"OK. I will don't say that again. "

"Mommyy, daddy, Brother Rinoooo"
