Seakan memahami apa yang sedang berkecamuk dalam dirinya, gadis penerjemah itu menghampiri Tara dan menyentuh lengannya.
“Enggak apa-apa,” katanya dalam bahasa Indonesia.
Tara menoleh dan menatapnya heran.
Gadis itu tersenyum. “Tatsuya-san pernah bilang kamu bisa berbahasa Indonesia. Aku harap kamu enggak keberatan. Kupikir lebih nyaman bicara dalam bahasa Indonesia daripada bahasa Inggris.”
Tara ingat. Tatsuya pernah bercerita tentang tetangganya yang bisa berbahasa Indonesia. Ternyata gadis ini.
“Ayo kita duduk di sana,” ajak gadis itu. Ia menuntun Tara ke bangku tunggu di depan kamar rawat Tatsuya.
Tara menurut tanpa perlawanan. Setelah duduk, ia menoleh ke arah gadis itu. “Pardon... Maaf, aku belum tahu namamu.”
“Oh, aku lupa bilang,” kata gadis itu dan tersenyum meminta maaf. “Namaku Keiko Ishida, tetangga Tatsuya-san. Ayahnya memintaku menelepon kalian waktu itu, sekaligus menjadi penerjemah.”
“Kau tahu... bagaimana keadaan Tatsuya sekarang?” tanya Tara. Ia menyadari suaranya yang bergetar dan tersendat-sendat, tapi ia tidak peduli.
Keiko mengalihkan pandangan dan menarik napas. “Sama sekali enggak baik,” akunya terus terang. “Kecelakaan itu parah sekali. Yang kudengar adalah waktu itu dia sedang mengunjungi lokasi proyek dan terjatuh dari tingkat tiga gedung yang sedang dibangun.”
Tara mengggigil dan memejamkan mata erat-erat. Ia tidak sanggup membayangkan Tatsuya yang terjatuh dari ketinggian seperti itu.
“Sejak terjatuh sampai sekarang, dia belum sadar,” lanjut Keiko. “Kata dokter luka di kepalanya sangat parah. Dia enggak mungkin bisa bertahan lebih dari empat puluh delapan jam. Tapi nyatanya dia bisa. Dia masih bernapas walaupun sudah lewat tiga hari. Dokter juga bingung.”
Tara merasa ada yang meninju jantungnya. Berulang-ulang.
“Dia memang masih bernapas, tetapi masih belum sadar. Dan Dokter sudah berterus terang enggak ada lagi yang bisa mereka lakukan. Mereka sudah meminta ayah Tatsuya-san bersiap-siap.”
Tara membuka mulutnya dengan takut-takut. “Quoi...? Siap-siap untuk...?”
Pertanyaan bodoh. Apakah ia sungguh ingin mendengar jawabannya?
“Untuk menerima yang terburuk,” sahut Keiko muram.
Udara di sekeliling Tara sepertinya bertambah berat. Lagi-lagi ia kehabisan napas. Ia butuh udara.
“Ayah Tatsuya-san percaya Tatsuya-san sedang menunggu kalian,” kata Keiko. “Karena itulah dia terus bertahan hidup.”
Sebelah tangan Tara terangkat ke dada. Tarik napas... Keluarkan... Tarik... Keluarkan... Air matanya menetes.
“Aku... enggak mau menemuinya,” gumamnya pelan, lalu menghapus air matanya dengan punggung tangan.
Keiko menoleh dan menatapnya dengan heran. “Kenapa?”
“J‟ai peur... Aku takut,” aku Tara. Ia menutup mulutnya dengan tangan dan menggigil lagi.
“Kamu enggak apa-apa?” tanya Keiko cemas.
“Tadi kamu bilang dia sedang menunggu kami,” Tara melanjutkan tanpa menghiraukan pertanyaan Keiko. “Kalau itu benar, apa yang akan terjadi begitu kami bertemu?”
Keiko tidak menjawab. Sepertinya ia tahu ke mana arah pertanyaan Tara.
“Dia akan berhenti menunggu?” tanya Tara.
Keiko belum sempat menjawab, karena saat itu pintu kamar Tatsuya terbuka dan Kenichi Fujisawa melangkah ke luar. Ia berbicara sebentar dengan Keiko, lalu menyerahkan sesuatu kepada gadis itu. Ia menoleh ke arah Tara, tersenyum samar, dan masuk kembali ke kamar.
“Ada apa?” tanya Tara tegang. Ia merasa mulai panik. “Ada yang terjadi?”
Keiko menggeleng cepat. “Enggak, enggak apa-apa. Ayah Tatsuya-san hanya menyuruhku pulang dan istirahat.”
Tara mengembuskan napas pelan. Lega.
“Kamu mau ikut? Tatsuya-san tinggal di gedung apartemen yang sama denganku. Kamu mau melihat apartemennya?”
Tara menatap Keiko. “Boleh?”
Keiko tersenyum dan menunjukkan benda yang diserahkan Kenichi Fujisawa kepadanya tadi. Kunci.
“Ayah Tatsuya-san yang memintaku mengajakmu,” kata Keiko.
* * *
Tara berdiri di depan pintu apartemen Tatsuya. Sendirian. Keiko sudah masuk ke apartemennya sendiri.
“Kalau sudah selesai, aku ada di apartemen sebelah,” kata Keiko sebelum menyerahkan kunci apartemen Tatsuya kepada Tara.
Tara menggenggam erat kunci yang terasa dingin di tangannya. Ia mengumpulkan seluruh tekad dan keberaniannya, lalu memasukkan kunci ke lubang kunci dan memutarnya. Pintu pun terbuka.
Ketika ia melangkah masuk, ia merasa seakan melangkah masuk pribadi Tatsuya. Suasana apartemen Tatsuya meliputi dirinya, membawanya masuk ke kehidupan Tatsuya. Dadanya berdebar-debar dan ia merasa gugup. Ia ingin melihat sendiri bagaimana hidup Tatsuya. Ingin merasakannya. Ia ingin melihat apa yang dilihat Tatsuya, ingin merasakan apa yang diraskaan Tatsuya. Ia ingin memahami Tatsuya.

As if understanding what was raging inside her, the girl was approached Tara translator and touched his arm.
"I do nothing," he said in Indonesian.
Tara turned and looked at him in surprise.
She smiled. "Tatsuya-san once said you can speak Indonesian. I hope you baseball objections. I think more comfortable speaking in Indonesian than English. "
Tara recalled. Tatsuya tells of neighbors who could speak Indonesian. It turns out this girl.
