"Pa, Papa get up, Pa. Don't stay in Reini, Pa. Reini still needs Papa." The sound of Reini's cry when she arrived home. The distrust of finding her father is now gone. "Why is Papa staying in Reini so soon?" His shoulder sounded bitter, hugging a body that already felt cold.
There is no more frightening news than the news of loss.
There is no news of pain other than the news of loss.
The thing that most feared living beings on earth, is his death, and the loss of loved ones. Can't be denied his arrival, no one knows when that time comes. Like not like, inevitably, all will face it, sooner or later.
There was nothing Reini could reveal at this moment, she could only stare at the white board that was inscribed with the name of her papa there, with tears that did not stop flowing.
His eyes were puffy, his heart felt numb because there was nothing Reini could feel right now, empty and empty. The cloudy weather in the afternoon today, the gentle breeze sent Rendy's departure to her final rest.
A religious leader was reciting a prayer for Rendy. Then after finishing, one by one the mourners left the cemetery after saying goodbye to Voni, leaving behind Voni, Delia, Awan, Reini, Abian, Angkasa and Arum.
Voni had fainted several times when he found out her husband left her for good, now she looks more robust. Accompanied by Delia the friend who was his friend as well. Delia was always at the side of her best friend, embracing Voni's shoulder.
So did the faithful Cloud accompany his wife. "Papa's happy there, Rein. You must be strong."
Reini turned to her husband who also could not escape to embrace his shoulder. The man has been faithful to her ever since. The cloud also picked Reini up to the airport after getting news from his mother. Delia accidentally contacts Awan first, asking Awan to pick up Reini. If Delia contacts Reini first, it is feared that nothing calms Reini down the road when she gets the news.
Along the way to the house, Reini still hopes if his parents only press him so that he and Awan quickly unite. But in fact it's not.
"Papa ninggalin me with Mama for ever," rested his head on the shoulder of the husband. "I don't have anyone else to look after me with Mama."
"Stttt, what are you talking about? I'm still beside you." Reini was intrigued, is it true that Cloud will always be beside him after he gave a lot of disappointment to Cloud?
His father's death was a heavy blow to Reini. Either the Clouds say so only as a form of consolation, or just pity?
"Darling, we go home yuk. It's getting dark." Take Voni crouching. Hugging Reini from the side.
"Well, why not just say sorry, Ma? Reini always makes papa angry." His head rests on his mother's shoulders.
"Papa must be sorry, dear." Rubbing her son's hair, "whatever bad papa is, he just wants you to change and get better."
"But Reini hasn't given you what papa wants. Reini hasn't been able to make Papa happy."
"But papa never
I want the clouds to pull Reini's head in his arms. He knew, regretting what Reini felt at this time, all because they had not given grandchildren to his parents, now that Papa Rendy had left first, without knowing the continuation of their household. Awan did not blame Reini completely, because as the head of the family, he took part in this problem, because of his lack of determination.
The clouds brought Reini's face to face him, cupping her with both hands. "Rein, look at me" he said, "we go home first. It's gonna be night, Papa Rendy must be sad to see you like this. We must send a prayer to Papa Rendy, your most awaited prayer to Papa Rendy, for you are his only daughter."
True also what her husband said, finally Reini nodded obediently, he wanted to go home according to the orders of the Clouds.
At home, residents around Reini's parents' house have gathered to send prayers together. Due to Reini's limp state, the Clouds took Reini to his room.
Just as they were about to enter, Reini suddenly stopped her steps. "You wanna come in?"
"Well, isn't it papa, is it? I'm still your husband, Rein."
Having not met and interacted for a long time makes Reini awkward.
"Eumm, yeah, tap-"
The clouds breathed. "Okay, I'm waiting downstairs," he finally relented, "don't you wait long." His message before descending, Reini nodded.
After the night and the tahlilan event was over, Reini went into the room first. Awan wanted to catch up, but was embarrassed that there were still relatives from his mother and father there talking to his mother-in-law, so Awan joined him first.
"You rest, Wan. You must be exhausted" said Voni. "Reini's been to the room?" Looking behind the clouds but not finding Reini.
"Yes, Ma."
"Reini's been eating yet, Wan. Try asking."
Gosh, why don't the attention get there, luckily the mother reminded. "Well, ask, Ma. The clouds stay first." Delia nodded.
Finally the Clouds had reason to follow Reini into the room without shame.
Up in the room, Awan found Reini sitting at the bedside staring at a photo of her father with tears in his eyes. The clouds sat beside Reini.
"Have you eaten?" Reini simply replied with a headband without looking at her.
"Yes, wait here. I'll get you some food, okay?" Reini did not answer, the focus is only on the photo of the father.
Even so the clouds came down to take a meal, Cloud asked to be taken by the officer there. Then return to the room with a tray containing a plate of rice and side dishes, and a glass of water.
"I'm bribing ya, Rein?" Reini shakes. "Eat first, Papa Rendy doesn't like to see you sad like this."
Reini answered like a child and looked at her husband. "When I eat, papa's happy?" said innocently.
"But I'm not lust."
"Perced slightly. You'll be sick later, and Papa's there getting sad. I'm bribing ya, just a little papa."
"Slight promise."
"Hem."
And managed only three bribes, the clouds did not force anymore, because Reini also looks sleepy. At least there was food coming into Reini's stomach.
It did not take long, Reini's breathing had sounded regular, hugging the photo of the papa in his stomach. Slowly the Clouds took the photo so carefully.
The clouds looked at the photo of the in-law, and it reminded him of his encounter with papa Rendy two days ago. Yeah, Rendy just asked him to meet. Not much they discussed, because at that time Rendy's health was not okay, but just ordinary pain.
"Papa Reini ya Wan. Even if you guys don't mate anymore, take care of Reini."
That's Papa Rendy's message. But Awan only realized that Papa Rendy's message was the last message for him.
But one confession that made Rendy quite surprised, papa Rendy admitted if he had slapped Reini because he was upset. So ... bruised that time he saw, papa Rendy's handprints?
The clouds breathe deeply. "Papa who is quiet there, the clouds will keep Reini up at all times." Then the Clouds looked at Reini, and peeked at the old Reini's forehead.
* * *
It's been a week since Papa Rendy's departure. The seven-day event is over. Many changes from the Reini, not changes about its nearness to the Cloud, but Reini became more silent and aloof. Papa Rendy's sudden departure, made Reini feel a lot of regret, but there was no change for his nature.
Clouds did go back there after the departure of papa Rendy, they are one room, but not as naked. Clouds sleep on the sofa.
Daniel who saw it became upset himself, no more effort than the clouds, the clouds seem to follow the flow of Reini. Reini was silent, she was silent, Reini wanted it this way, she went this way. Reini so, come along.
"Gosh, what is this I also have to intervene," he sighed.
"Darling, if it's past seven days. It's too late to grieve" he asked the wife sitting next to him. Denisa's tidying up their gear, getting ready to go home.
"Depending, why?" Denisa turned to her husband.
"I want to ask you for help."
"What's? Don't be weird." Denisa was right in her husband's nature, afraid that her husband would act mischievously.
"Well, it's for the future together. You have to support your husband."
"What kind of support was it, huh?"
Daniel raised his eyebrows, pointing his eyes at Cloud and Reini.
"What do you want to do, Mom? Don't interfere in other people's household affairs." Denisa lowered her voice, lest others hear her.
"How can't it? That's what helped them unite, I love."
"Later home I'll tell you." Daniel crossed his chest, staring at the Cloud who was now drinking Reini.
Then he got up. "You wait here for a minute."
"Where are you going? Don't macem it." Denisa was afraid her husband was acting which would cause trouble.
"Quiet." Denisa's so worried, but her husband's relaxed, and it makes her very upset.
Daniel approached the Cloud and Reini. "You can talk for a minute, just four eyes." Looking at Reini, "with you, Rein."
"What's wrong?" Clouds worry.
"There's nothing, Om there's only a message of two broken."
"Of." The cloud tried not to give permission.
"Relax, nothing, just suspect it." Daniel knew, Awan was afraid that Daniel would lecture his wife. "Om not mr. ustadz, who would love to preach in the seven days."
"Don't make Reini uncomfortable" said Awan.
"Kalo Reini is comfortable, donk danger." Puckle Daniel teases.
Daniel and Reini finally spoke together in the back. Clouds watch from the back garden's connecting door, Daniel and Reini appear to be in a serious conversation, making the Clouds so curious as to what the two are talking about. But Reini looks obedient mangosteen.
"What the hell was that talking about?"
