Tiada Lagi
'Gedegang' 'gedegung' "Tolong! Tolong! Tolong lepaskan kami. Kami di sini" 'twankkk' 'twankkk' 'twankkk' "Tolong kami! Tolong selamatkan kami. Kami di sini, tolong kami", suasana di dalam bangunan kurungan itu riuh-rendah dengan suara-suara tahanan yang menjerit meminta tolong sambil beberapa dari mereka cuba merosakkan pintu besi jeriji di kurungan mereka itu untuk melepaskan diri. Apatah lagi, bunyi-bunyi tembakan dan letupan yang sedang rancak berlaku di sekitar luar bangunan itu menambahkan lagi kebisingan ketika itu sehinggakan Farif yang ketakutan itu memencilkan diri di bahagian sudut kurungan sambil memeluk tubuh cuba melindungi dirinya dari serangan yang sedang dia dan tahan-tahanan lain terima ketika itu. 'Banggg' 'banggg', beberapa bunyi tembakan kedengaran amat dekat dan berdengung di dalam bangunan itu sebelum beberapa bunyi derapan telapak-telapak kaki mulai kedengaran dan semakin menghampiri kurungan Farif ketika itu. "Laluan selamat, mulakan tindakan menyelamatkan mangsa", kedengaran seseorang sedang memberikan arahan dengan suara yang tegas sebelum beberapa orang lengkap berseragam celoreng dan bersenjata mulai berjalan pantas di lorong tengah yang terletaknya kurungan-kurungan tahanan di kiri dan kanan laluan itu. 'Kachinggg' 'klikkk', bunyi kunci mulai kedengaran sebelum pintu bilik kurungan Farif dibuka. Kelihatan riak wajah Farif yang semakin ketakutan saat melihat seseorang bersosok tubuh lelaki yang bersenjata menghampirinya. "Ja... jangan, to... tolong. A... aku tak mahu diseksa lagi...", rayu Farif dalam ketakutan. "Jangan risau, kamu selamat sekarang. Sekarang saya akan bantu pimpin kamu keluar dari sini", balas lelaki tadi sebelum dia mulai merangkul tangan Farif dan memimpin tubuhnya yang lemah itu keluar dari bangunan itu. "Farif...", Farif terdengar satu suara yang memanggilnya. "A... Aris?", bisik Farif lalu dia memalingkan pandangannya ke belakang dan cuba mencari sumber suara itu, namun keadaan dalam bangunan itu kucar-kacir dan bising menyukarkan pencariannya sebelum dirinya dibawa keluar dan menuju ke kawasan lapang dengan sebuah helikopter di tengah-tengahnya. Tubuh Farif dibaringkan di tengah-tengah di dalam helikopter itu dan dikelilingi oleh beberapa tahanan dan pasukan bersenjata sebelum helikopter itu mulai terbang semula. Farif sempat melihat keadaan kawasan kartel yang sudah terbakar dan dipenuhi dengan asap sebelum dirinya mulai terlena kerana terlalu lemah di situ.

"Farif, Farif kesayanganku"
"Aku sangat rindu pada kau"
"Maafkan aku atas dosa aku pada kau"
"Aku pergi dulu ya"
"Jangan nakal-nakal tau"
"Sayang awak selamanya"
Mimpi Farif akan kekasihnya yang datang menemuinya di dalam mimpi. Aris memegang tangan Farif dengan erat saat mereka sedang duduk di atas bangku kayu sambil melihat ke arah lautan dengan matahari senja yang semakin terbenam di kaki langit dengan sekeliling menjadi warna jingga kerana kejadian alam itu. Aris memalingkan pandangannya ke arah Farif sambil mengukir satu senyuman kasih kepadanya. Tidak lama selepas itu, suasana itu mulai kabur san semakin malap sebelum mata Farif mulai tercelik dan dirinya mulai tersedar dari lenanya. Saat dirinya masih lagi terpinga-pinga, Farif memandang sekeliling dan mendapati dirinya berada di suatu tempat yang asing dengan keadaan bilik yang cerah, suasana dingin dan kedengaran beberapa bunyi mesin yang sedang digunakan di samping dirinya sedang berbaring di atas tilam yang empuk dan diselubungi dengan selimut putih yang agak tebal. Pada saat itu, kawan-kawan sekelasnya yang baru sahaja masuk ke dalam bilik itu pun terkejut dengan Farif yang sudah sedar lalu terus menegurnya. "Syukurlah engkau sudah sedar dan selamat, kami sangat risau dengan keadaan engkau. Engkau sudah semakin pulihkah ini?", sapa dan soal Najib, rakan sekelasnya itu dengan nada prihatin. "Ak... aku okay je, cuma masih terasa lemah lagi. Kau orang tak perlu risaulah", jawab Farif sambil cuba mengubah dirinya ke dalam kedudukan duduk di atas katil itu. "Macam manalah kita orang tak risau pasal engkau? Engkau tiba-tiba hilang sewaktu kau pergi kem perkhemahan lepas. Hampir dua minggu engkau tak dapat dijejaki. Puas bomba dengan ranger hutan cari kau tau. Syukur sekarang kami dapat jumpa kau dan kau terselamat dari penculikan kumpulan kartel haram tu. Lega sungguh hati aku apabila dapat tahu kau masih hidup dan selamat", kata Najib sambil matanya mulai sedikit bergelinangan air mata. Lalu, kawannya itu pun terus memeluk tubuh Farif secara tiba-tiba membuatkan Farif sedikit terkejut, namun dia pun terus membalas pelukan kawannya itu dengan pelukan yang erat sehinggakan rasa sakit dan pedih yang dirasai pada badannya ketika itu bagaikan sudah kebah sepenuhnya sambil disaksikan oleh rakan-rakan sekelasnya yang lain. Beberapa minit telah berlalu saat Farif dan rakan sekelasnya yang hadir melawatinya di hospital itu saling berborak dan bergurau-senda sebelum mereka disapa oleh beberaa orang anggota polis yang ingin meluangkan sedikit masa dengan Farif sebagai mangsa penculikkan yang sudah berjaya diselamatkan itu untuk beberapa minit sambil kawan-kawannnya menunggu di luar bilik. "Baik, Encik Farif. Terima kasih kerana mahu meluangkan masa untuk penyiasatan kami mengenai kejadian hari itu. Kami mendoakan encik semoga cepat sembuh", kata salah seorang anggota polis sebelum mereka semua bergegas keluar dari bilik wad itu. Pada saat itu, terlintas di fikiran Farif yang teringat akan abang senior dan juga kekasihnya itu, Aris namanya. "Weh, Najib. Abang Aris mana? Aku dah lama tak lepak dengan dia, hahaha", soal Farif dengan bersahaja. Farif mulai pelik saat riak wajah kawannya itu mulai berubah muram dan dia tertundukkan kepalanya. Saat melihat reaksinya itu membuatkan wajah Farif yang ceria tadi mulai berubah terkedu dengan fikirannya mulai kosong dan air matanya mulai bergelinangan di kelopak matanya sebelum jatuh menitis ke pipi.

Satu Tahun Kemudian
Suasana hening dan sunyi dengan angin yang berhembus lembut sehingga pohon-pohon yang tumbuh di sekeliling kawasan kubur itu kelihatan melambai-lambai pada petang yang redup itu. Kelihatan satu sosok tubuh seseorang yang sedang duduk di samping satu kubur sambil memegang satu tangkai bunga di tangannya. "Selamat ulang tahun kekasih, awak. Hari ini genap lima tahun kita bercinta, terasa cepat masa berlalu. Saya harap awak dekat sana sentiasa dalam keadaan baik. Saya dekat sini baik-baik saja. Kadang-kala..., bukan, saya sentiasa berasa sunyi setelah awak tiada lagi di sisi saya. Saya... saya betul-betul rasa sunyi..." 'Sobbbb' 'sobbb', Farif tak dapat meneruskan ayatnya saat air matanya mulai bergelinangan dan hatinya berasa sebak dan sedih. "Sa... saya sangat rindukan awak, saya rindukan pelukan awak. Sa... saya rindukan suara awak. Ke... kenapa awak tinggalkan saya terlalu awal? Sa... saya sangat sunyi tanpa awak di sini", kata Farif kali ini sambil dirinya duduk berlutut dan badannya menunduk lalu air-air matanya mulai jatuh satu per satu ke atas tanah kubur yang bertanda "Aris" itu. Suasana pada ketika itu mulai semakin mendung dengan awan-awan hitam mulai berarak di langit di samping angin mulai bertiup sedikit kuat sehingga dedaun kering mulai berterbangan bagaikan bumi meratapi kesedihan Farif ketika itu. "Aw... awak rehatlah puas-puas di sana ya. Awak jangan risau asal saya, saya tak akan nakal-nakal lagi dengan sesiapa selain awak. Jumpa awak di sana nanti, tunggu saya tau", kata Farif sebelum dia meletakkan bunga yang dia pegang tadi di atas kubur mendiang kekasihnya itu lalu mencium batu nisannya sebelum dia mulai berangkat pergi dari situ. Farif sempat menoleh ke arah kubur Farif dan pada saat itu dia terbayangkan sosok tubuh kekasihnya yang sedang berdiri di sisi kubur itu sambil melihatnya dan melambai-lambaikan tangannya. Farif pun tersenyum lalu mengangkat tangannya dan mulai melambai-lambai ke arah kubur kekasihnya itu.

ENGLISH
'Gedegang' 'gedegung' "Help! Help! Please let us go. We are here" 'twankkk' 'twankkk' 'twankkk' "Help us! Please save us. We are here, help us", the condition inside the prison building was noisy with the voices of prisoners screaming for help while some of them tried to damage the iron bars of their prison to escape. Even more, the sounds of gunfire and explosions that were happening around the outside of the building added to the noise at that time to the point that the frightened Farif isolated himself in the corner of the prison while hugging his body trying to protect himself from the attacks that he and the other prisoners were receiving at that time. 'Banggg' 'banggg', several gunshots were heard very close and buzzed in the building before several sounds of footsteps began to be heard and were getting closer to Farif's prison at that time. "All clear, start rescuing the victims", someone was heard giving instructions in a stern voice before several people in full uniform and armed began to walk quickly in the middle aisle where the detention cells were located on the left and right of the aisle. 'Kachinggg' 'klikkk', the sound of a lock began to be heard before the door to Farif's cell was opened. Farif's expression was increasingly frightened when he saw someone in the form of an armed man approaching him. "Do... don't, pl... please. I... I don't want to be tortured anymore...", Farif pleaded in fear. "Don't worry, you're safe now. Now I will help lead you out of here", the man replied before he began to embrace Farif's hand and lead his weak body out of the building. "Farif...", Farif heard a voice calling him. "A... Aris?", Farif whispered then he turned his gaze back and tried to find the source of the voice, but the situation in the building was chaotic and noisy making his search difficult before he was taken out and headed to an open area with a helicopter in the middle. Farif's body was laid in the middle of the helicopter and surrounded by several victims and armed forces before the helicopter began to fly again. Farif had time to see the cartel area that was already on fire and filled with smoke before he began to fall asleep because he was too weak there.

"Farif, my beloved Farif"
"I miss you so much"
"Forgive me for all my fault on you"
"I'm gonna go now"
"Don't be naughty"
"Love you forever"
Farif's dream of his lover who came to see him in his dream. Aris held Farif's hand tightly as they sat on a wooden bench while looking towards the ocean with the sunset sun setting on the horizon with the surroundings turning orange due to that natural phenomenon. Aris turned his gaze towards Farif while giving him a loving smile. Not long after, the atmosphere began to blur and get dimmer before Farif's eyes began to open and he began to wake up from his sleep. While he was still dazed, Farif looked around and found himself in a strange place with a bright room, a cold atmosphere and the sound of several machines being used next to him lying on a soft mattress and covered with a rather thick white blanket. At that moment, his classmates who had just entered the room were also surprised by Farif who had regained consciousness and continued to reprimand him. "Thank goodness you are conscious and safe, we are very worried about your condition. Are you getting better?", greeted and asked Najib, his classmate, with a concerned tone. "I... I'm okay, I just feel tired. You don't need to worry", replied Farif as he tried to change himself into a sitting position on the bed. "How can we not worry about you? You suddenly disappeared when you went camping last time. You couldn't be tracked for almost two weeks. The fire department and forest rangers were looking for you, you know. Thank goodness we can now find you and you survived the kidnapping by the illegal cartel. I am so relieved to know that you are still alive and safe", said Najib as his eyes began to fill with tears. Then, his friend suddenly hugged Farif, making Farif a little surprised, but he continued to hug his friend back with a tight hug so much that the pain and hurt he felt in his body at that time seemed to have completely disappeared while his other classmates see them. A few minutes passed as Farif and his classmates who came to visit him at the hospital chatted and joked with each other before they were greeted by several police officers who wanted to spend some time with Farif as a kidnapped victim who had been successfully rescued for a few minutes while his friends waited outside the room. "Okay, Mr. Farif. Thank you for taking the time to spend time with us about what happened that day. We wish you a speedy recovery", said one of the police officers before they all hurried out of the ward room. At that moment, Farif remembered his senior brother and also his lover, Aris as his name. "Hey, Najib. Where's Aris? I haven't hung out with him for a long time, hahaha", Farif asked casually. Farif started to feel strange when his friend's expression started to turn gloomy and his friend lowered his head. Seeing his reaction made Farif's cheerful face start to turn stunned with his mind starting to go blank and his tears started to roll down his eyelids before falling down his cheeks.

One Year Later
The atmosphere was quiet and peaceful with a gentle breeze blowing until the trees growing around the grave area seemed to be waving in the dim evening. A figure of a person was seen sitting next to a grave while holding a flower in his hand. "Happy anniversary, my love. Today marks five years since we've been in love, it feels like time has passed quickly. I hope you're always good in there. I'm fine here. Sometimes..., no, I always feel lonely after you're no longer by my side. I... I really feel lonely..." 'Sobbbb' 'sobbb', Farif couldn't continue his sentence as tears started to flow from his eyes and his heart felt tearful and sad. "I... I miss you so much, I miss your hugs. I... I miss your voice. W... why did you leave me so early? I... I'm so lonely without you here", said Farif this time as he sat on his knees and his body bowed down and his tears began to fall one by one onto the grave marked "Aris". The atmosphere at that time began to get more cloudy with black clouds starting to march in the sky alongside the wind starting to blow a little stronger so that dry leaves started to fly like the earth mourning Farif's sadness at that time. "Yo... you can rest contentedly there. Don't worry about me, I won't be naughty with anyone else but you. See you there later, wait for me, okay?", said Farif before he placed the flowers he was holding on the grave of his late lover and kissed his tombstone before he started to leave from there. Farif turned his head towards Farif's grave and at that moment he imagined the soul of his lover standing by the grave looking at him and waving his hand. Farif smiled and raised his hand and started waving towards his lover's grave.
