Always Gonna Be You
EPILOGUES

Rendra

He smiled happily to see the excitement that occurred in his backyard. Pay attention to Riyadh and Rakai who are busy talking about technical matters of work.

"Good, Bang. Vigorous work let's go, "his mind while chuckling.

Then there is Chris who since the first came never stop throwing crisp, absurd, sometimes slovenly and often annoying jokes to everyone. No exception to the mahmud group who will definitely attack back more fiercely. Haha.

Makes anyone would never have thought if the man with the funny face was a heart specialist and director of the Government Hospital.

"Gue feels sorry for your patients. Treatment instead of healing even cepet isdet because of a doctor like lo sengklek lo!" sumpul Bayu is most often the target of Chris' dirty jokes.

"Gue was sure that the staff at Lo Hospital would suffer a heart attack if they knew the director was crazy" Bayu again made them all laugh.

Then next to Chris was Dio, who had not changed at all like the first time they met on the terrace of Raudhah. Calm, full of smiles, and leaderable because it can always dampen the turmoil Bayu and Chris in a smooth way, far from the impression of explosive or patronizing.

And behind Dio's humble attitude maybe people also do not expect, if the tall man with glasses minus it has now become one of the respected professors of computer science at Tokyo Tech. It has its own lab building called Kamadibrata Lab. The last few years have become a favorite destination for many Indonesian students to follow the research exchange program and become the most desirable choice of students who will take the master's and doctoral programs.

Finally there is Bayu, who has the least filter among the Romance gang. Never thought about what was going to be said. Jeplak. But managed to obtain privilege by having a US green card, because of its position that has reached the level of middle management of an oil company. Justjust wonderful.

Meanwhile in the other corner of the backyard, he could see the children running here and there cheerfully. With some children whose age is greater than before choose to play ball. Or girls playing swings and slides. Not to forget the screaming toddlers are happy to try to catch fish in the pond. The scenery that makes anyone who sees it suddenly filled with warmth and happiness.

Then there was a crowd of mahmud who were busy chatting while chatting. I don't know what to talk until several times he had seen Anggi laughing happily.

Speaking of Anggi, he never thought they would make it this far. Anggi who at the beginning of the meeting is always judes, fierce, stubborn. But also being the only girl who can keep herself on track and happy.

Until now they have a number of children that he always dreamed of, occupying beautiful land in the middle of the countryside that he often dreamed of, also doing the work he once reserved. Make him never get tired of whispering softly in Anggi's ear, "I have said this many times but still, I love you more than anything."

Orchids

"Eh, what a look," so every time Chris walks past him and Ilma.

"Are you twins?" chris again.

"Dio!" call Chris. "They both look alike, right? Till siwer my eyes."

Which was only reciprocated with Dio's stiff smile.

Chris still continues to tease about the resemblance of the two of their faces but he ignores it, preferring to play around with Azami, because Pingkan and Aksa are engrossed in playing themselves after full feeding.

While playing with Azami he occasionally chatted with his wife Dio and wife Bayu. Especially if you're not talking about children. Starting from growing flowers to processing foods that contain vegetables but still preferred.

On the sidelines of all about children, he took the time to ask about the joy of living in the country of people. Which he thought would be very nice to live in a developed country that has a high civilization.

"Well, do you live there?" tanyanya wants to know. He used to dream of going and living in Japan. But fate has not allowed.

"Seru. All orderly, disciplined, rules-abiding."

"Although individualistic but not at all selfish. People friendly. Still can talk to each other with strangers."

"Keep if the nolong people are also not responsible."

"I once got lost when I missed the bus to go to the local library. But there are people who are willing to take it to the destination. Must walk for 15 minutes. It rained anyway, didn't use an umbrella, got wet, and I just had time to say thank you without ever getting acquainted."

He listened to the story with enthusiasm. "Pantesan at home," always.

"But the suffering is also a lot" Ilma replied with a laugh.

"I can't go home often. Especially when it's work."

"Must be able to do it yourself. No brothers, let alone grandparents who can be entrusted grandchildren."

Then they laughed three.

"Yes, there's also the appreciation of the champion. Every effort or work as small as anything can certainly be highly appreciated."

"Good job's. That's interesting. You did it right. Spread everywhere."

"In the beginning I had ge-er. Because it's a little different from here, right?"

The three of them then threw each other a smile of understanding.

"It's as good as anything sometimes just commented, hahah like doang. Or everyone can."

"So really appreciate other people huh? Humanize humans" he said, giving Azami a piece of papaya to eat.

"Azami likes?" ask her while smiling. Which was greeted with glad babble Azami.

"Yes, the effect is due to appreciation, we feel appreciated. Motivated to do better."

"But yeah things aren't always that perfect. Bad things too."

"It's the good we imitate, the bad we don't do."

He smiled understandingly. While from the direction of a small stage filled with musical instruments, there was a sound of bass being tuned. Followed by the enthusiastic cries of children who joined milling on stage.

"Well, showtime," said Dio's wife enthusiastically. But Azami who had spent the fruit snacks began to whine because it might feel sticky and sleepy.

"It looks like I have to clean Azami and put her to bed" Dio's wife said.

"Oh, yes, please. We have provided a place to rest" he said as he moved to show guests where they can rest.

While waiting for Dio's wife to clean both Azami's hands and mouth so as not to stick anymore, he also moved the twins into the room because they had slept on the bouncer.

"Mba Suko, please take care of Mba. When you wake up, call me."

"Siaappp Mba Anggi" Mba Suko gave a thumbs up.

Coinciding with Dio's wife who has finished cleaning and changing Azami's clothes.

"I want to accompany Azami to sleep" said Dio's wife.

"May.can...then if you're asleep, just go there again," he said while pointing to the backyard where the sound of the keyboard and guitar began to play. Following the applause of the audience.

"Don't worry, there's Mba Suko here. So if the kids wake up, they can know right away" he added.

Dio's wife smiled.

As soon as he reached the backyard, a new first appearance would begin. Where Rendra is being pulled by Chris and Bayu to stand in the middle of the stage.

"First house master dong," said Bayu and Chris compact.

Laughing Rendra finally relented by sitting on a chair in the middle of the stage.

"Ladies and gentleman," so Chris with a made-up voice like the tone of the boxing host who will start the first round match.

"Let’s getting ready for showtime!” chris continued, clapping his hands high above his head.

"Reeeeen. Followed giggling children who were still wandering around the stage.

"Draaaa....."

While laughing watching Chris' behavior, Rendra also began strumming his acoustic guitar.

'Shake my hand, maybe for the last time

We talked about memory in those days

My hug wiped my tears too

We are so moved as if we never met again

Have fun

Because today we miss it

In the future a classic story for the future

Have fun

Because it's this time that we'll be proud of in the old days'

(Sheila on 7, A Classic Tale for the Future)

While continuing to sing, Rendra's eyes never let go of looking at him. Make some people who know it, then smile full of excitement towards it.

"Bang Rendra so in love very much with Mba Anggi," whispered Rakai's wife with sparkling eyes.

"When can you be as romantic as Bang Rendra?" continued Rakai's wife again with sparkling eyes.

He who was initially embarrassed - geez, considered his own husband was still shy anyway - and felt the whole face turned hot and reddened, so laugh to hear the last words of Rakai's wife. Rhetorical questions that anyone can know the answer to. Because Rakai is definitely not the type of tombal guy like Rendra.

Sharp and deep gaze but full of tenderness Rendra makes his memory drift back in the past. Just as Rendra was smiling at him, his lips hissed in a soft line, "Did you remember the first day we met?"

"I had no damn idea you would be so important to me."

Dio

When Rendra was chanting the Classic Story for the Future with his eyes constantly staring at Anggi, he saw his wife emerge from the house to walk up to him.

"Azami?" ask him while reaching for the hand of the wife who has now sat down next to him.

"Sleep well," his wife replied as she lay her head on his shoulder.

After Rendra, there are still Bayu and Chris who duet featuring dangdut song a million people. With bass from Rendra and a Riyadh keyboard. Joking and laughing are not obvious.

Jane I understand ono ati sliramu

Nanging anane mung sewates

Podo ra wanine reveals tresno

Yen I look glittering nyipatmu

Waru ning atimu

Change when abot iku ora mok support

Mung dadi konco mesra mergo kependem love'

(Nella Kharisma, Friendly Conco)

Not to forget the team of children aged five years and above, compact sing a series of songs full of joy. Which managed to make the atmosphere more warm and pleasant.

Five little ducks went out one day

Over the hill and far away

Mother duck said, "Quack, quack, quack, quack"

But only four little ducks came back

One, two, three, four

(Five little ducks)

Following Riyadh, the special sing Everything Michael Bubble very cool.

"When again we can see the Director General of performance," always Chris who with Bayu called himself to be an impromptu MC.

'You're a falling star, you're the get away car

You're the line in the sand when I go too far

You're the swimming pool on an August day

And you're the perfect thing to see

And you play you're coy, but it's kinda cute

Oh, when you smile at me you know exactly what you do

Baby, don't pretend that you don't know it's true

'Cause you can see it when I look at you

And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times

It's you, it's you; you make me sing

You're every line, you're every word, you're everything'

(Michael Bubble, Everything)

During that time he kept holding his wife's hand.

"Thank you for bringing me here" whispered his wife as Chris and Bayu were dragging Rakai to the stage. And the expression of Rakai who blatantly refused actually made the most exciting MC duet even more excited.

"Come dong!" Bayu half forcefully pulls Rakai's hand.

While Rakai continued to say, "No no no!" shaking his head with a red face.

"I understand more and more how you feel."

He was still clutching his wife's hand when Chris and Bayu suddenly turned towards him because the attempt to pull Rakai failed.

"Yeah, because we are guests, so don't dare to be the same who has Jogja," Bayu said pretending to grumble.

"Ntar can-can we go home intercepted at the junction!" timpal Chris while shivering in horror.

"Can we be stuck here," continued Bayu shudder. "Can't go home. Forgive Bang!"

While Rakai who had been sitting back just grinned while laughing.

"So don't want elo," pointed Bayu at him arbitrarily.

He laughed and refused. But the hand of his wife suddenly tightened, "Come, when else...."

Inevitably he came to the stage because Chris and Bayu had pulled himself.

"We perform three yes," said Bayu excitedly. "So the first appearance was ruined."

"Lo regular keyboard," pointed Chris at him.

While he was checking out the sound, Chris had put on a guitar while Bayu sat behind the drums.

"What's this?" ask Bayu.

"The three of us used to cringe together," continued Chris. "The wannabe band....."

"Cuman is not talented so break up in the middle of the road," added Chris again laughing. "Band failed."

"So for the first one.we used to be nostalgic, yes," said Chris again.

"Later this, new can request," continued Chris full of confidence.

"Young mamah there may be a song that wants to be asked, may later love us yes. Surely it won't disappoint" Chris is getting out of his mouth. Following the screams,

"Hoooo!!" from the women while holding their thumbs down.

"Relax...quiet..," Chris raised both hands on his head like a rockstar who was calming a number of big concert audiences who started chaos.

"Everything is in part," said Chris in a cool pretentious style.

"Down! Get off! Downhill!" the women and children shouted while raising their hands disapprovingly.

He made her shake her head while laughing.

"Because this is family gathering, many children are niggling as well," Chris pointed to children who are busy playing alone.

"So the song is safe. Just mediocre....."

Then while throwing eyes at each other, they end up playing a favorite song of the school period.

'My true friend

How from your memory

The day we shared with each other

With a million dream box

I came to you

I looked at all my treasures

We are slaluing our opinion

We are the greatest

Pride in a Beautiful Youth

I am king and you are king

I'm black and black

The meaning of friends is more than just material'

(Sheila on 7, True Friend)

While playing the keyboard and occasionally singing, he recalled a saying that says God only makes happy ending, if it's not happy, then it's not the end.

We never thought about it

The end of this journey

We don't have to think about it

The end of this journey

(Sheila on 7, True Friend)
