Angga

…

That afternoon, right on the roof of an office that has a height of up to fifteen meters and above, a man is sitting quietly on the guardrail of the office roof. Maybe for some people who see him at this time, the man looks so desperate, the man looks like someone who has given up on the cruel life he is currently experiencing.

Not. He's not what other people think. Yes, he is a man who never gives up, because he has a strong stand even though the wind, rain, and even storms hit him like the days that have passed in his life.

A betrayal of love that has just been committed by the woman he loves, makes him try to stand as much as possible in the storm of his life. He supported himself with a strong support wood so that he was able to survive in the fierce storm. He had gone that far. But it seems fate said otherwise, he had to fall again from his footing. Like a hurricane that comes in an endless fierce storm.

The man was finally very down when his mother died two days ago. The support that supported his legs from him was shattered in an instant, like a lump of dust that vanished after a gust of wind hit him. He could no longer stand properly, so even a small storm could shake him. Even so, he was not a fool who recklessly ended his life after feeling the pain of being abandoned.

Suicide will not make the problem that is weighing on your shoulders right now disappear, just like crying, no matter how loud and hard you do it, it will not solve the problem you are facing. All you have to do is face it no matter how hard it is.

The words uttered by the father at that time became the basis for the man who was now enjoying the strong wind and the cold air carried by the wind that looked cloudy during the afternoon break.

"Hey Angga!" a call that sounded quite loud from behind there, made the man named Angga who was sitting on the guardrail at that time turn his head to look at a man who had just arrived carrying two coffee cups in both hands, the man's eyes now looked quite sharply at Angga.

Not a single word was uttered by Angga other than smiled faintly at him, and that smile that was shown by him made the man who had just called him a moment ago speak again,

"If you want to end your life, don't do it here mate!" he said.

He said as if to prevent Angga because he thought that Angga would jump from the top of the office building, and the words of the man again made Angga shake his head without turning to look at his other friend. The words that were uttered by him were not taken seriously, making the man who was holding the two cups of coffee speak even louder.

"Aga! Don't you feel sorry for your wife and children?!" asked the man, which in the end made Angga feel annoyed and now turned to look at the man who was walking towards him, he deliberately put two cups The coffee that he was holding was under near the entrance of their office roof, he intended to save the two coffee cups from spilling because of his action which now stretched his hand to Angga in the distance.

Acting as if he actually prevented Angga from jumping off the roof of the office, with a forced expression on his face to show that he was worried and the acting was really bad.

"You're right Abbas, I feel sorry for them, but… as far as I know, I have neither a child nor a wife," explained Angga to a man named Abbas who now looks stupid because of it.

The facial expression that originally showed anxiety has now become flat after hearing Angga's words. Not running out of ideas, Abbas shook his head and went back to acting while saying, "You have it stupid! The two of them… are waiting in your future!"

Hearing the words explained by Abbas makes Angga who hears it now laugh as he moved from the guardrail and turned to face Abbas, he took off the coat he was wearing and threw his coat at Abbas. The throw hit Abbas' face, who was laughing at that time and made Angga laugh because of it, at least the laughter of the two of them that afternoon eased the burden on Angga's mind that day.

"Don't you feel cold? The wind that blows today is quite strong, you know." bright Abbas to Angga who now turned and shook his head.

"That's true?? I've been here all this time, it's not even cold!" said Angga to Abbas who now turned to look at him with suspicion, feeling that Abbas was looking at him like that, making Angga finally ask, "What??"

"Didn't you see the weather news?! right now the wind here is really big, Angga! It can hurt if you stay outside for a long time!" Abbas explained to Angga who was now shaking his head.

"In my opinion, this big wind is not enough." said Angga, this made Abbas, who was looking to the right and left to see the surrounding scenery, turn his gaze back to Angga who now said again, "I need something colder than this, Bas."

Angga's words at that time made Abbas pause to think for a moment and then asked, "To cool your head?"

Hearing the question, Angga nodded his head without answering with words. It made Abbas sigh. Yes, Abbas knows about all the problems that befell Angga, his co-worker. That's one of the reasons why Abbas can be here with Angga because Abbas was deliberately looking for Angga after the recess bell arrived, Abbas was worried about the situation Angga was in and became even more worried when he found Angga sitting on the guardrail. office roof as it is today.

Even though Abbas knew that this one friend would not commit such a stupid act as suicide. However, who knows? Sometimes people who have a strong stand in the eyes of others will eventually give up when they are no longer able to stand up.

Seeing the look on Abbas' face, he looked like he was thinking about something and looked very worried, made Angga come down from the guardrail, approached Abbas and tapped his shoulder to awaken Abbas who now immediately turned to look at him and spontaneously smiled at himself.

"What are you doing?? daydreaming in front of your own friends, where is his ugly face again!" quipped Angga, mocking Abbas who only now chuckled because of it.

At that moment, Abbas patted Angga's shoulder hard enough, until Angga groaned, "Come on! We have to prepare for the meeting, so Pak Syahmi doesn't have to wait long, and we can go home quickly!" invite Abbas to Angga.
