Athena
The Spirit of Ayra

The atmosphere of grief was still so felt in Lathief's residence. The bodyguards have just arrived at the Arunika complex. Lathief, Mika and Renal's home pavilions were made into temporary lodgings for the island community leaders of RelFath. Actually Lathief had ordered them to rest at the AR hotel, but they refused subtly, arguing they would return to RelFath after the 3-day departure of Abraham and Jake.

"Did mommy come home, didn't she?" ask Alda.

Ayra shakes. The boy refused to open his mouth.

Athena who was still in a wheelchair was reluctant to leave her sister.

Vania, Mama Raga, hugs her future daughter-in-law.

"That's the departure of my father and grandfather. Look, there's still Ayra who should be The excited" Vania tried to smile as she said it.

"Thank you, Auntie" said Athena.

Vania nodded.

"Tante came home first. The rest is enough, it's still limp isn't it?"

"A little limp and dizzy, Auntie. Be careful Auntie, thank you for being present" Athena kissed the back of Vania's hand, which was reciprocated with a kiss on her forehead.

Vania also approached Ayra, trying to encourage the little boy. After that, he paid his respects to the others.

"Thank you, Van" said Alda as he drove Vania up to the porch.

"We are saddened" said Vania.

Alda nodded. They hugged each other, gave each other strength.

On the way, Raga was being interviewed by her papa.

"Said Athena's Daddy, Abraham sir and Jake's sir in an accident?" ask Baskara.

"Yes, pa" answered Raga.

"Sir Lathief and sir Abraham are brothers?" ask Vania.

"No, ma. Mr. Abraham was the son of Ares' grandfather's bodyguard, be Lathief's opa and Mr. Abraham grew up together until people thought they were brothers. Both of them were really role models of the crowd. When other people kill each other and drop for treasure, they both lift each other up for glory."

"We all should be like that, son. Peace in the brotherhood will result in something greater" Baskara said.

"If Raga had a brother, Raga could not be as good as Athena?" ask Raga.

"What's up, son?"

"He loved his brothers so much, and his sister took care of him too. Their peace makes others feel calm when they see it" replied Raga.

"But just now pity, mama actually still wants to be with The, but not strong also see him cry, let alone Ayra. I haven't said anything yet" Vania told me. He did not attend the funeral, he accompanied Athena and Ayra at home.

"The blood donor. Uncle Jake really needed it back then, and only Athena and Ayra could donate his blood. At that time Raga and Athena were still on the island, but her bodyguards came to pick us up" Raga said.

✨✨✨

Three days passed, and the community leader RelFath just decided to return to the island. Before they return, they make a pilgrimage to the tombs of Ares, Weni, Hans, Karina, Abraham and Jake. At Lathief's house only Brian, Brandon and Tristan remain.

"Even though your father is gone, this brotherly relationship must continue. I'm also like Abraham, think of parents as your own father." said Lathief.

"Yes, pa" said Brian.

"We all feel the same loss, but we must be sincere about God's destiny. Let Abraham and Jake smile at us from up there." Lathief patted Abraham's twins.

"What about Ayra, pa?" ask Brandon.

"We wait for Ayra to accept everything first, then after we ask together" replied Lathief.

"Well, pa" said Brandon.

If anyone asks about Ayra's whereabouts, the boy is in Lathief's house, precisely in Athena's room in house 05.

"Adek, let's eat first" Athena brought a bowl of soup to Ayra. Behind him was Tristan who came along while eating cassava chips.

"Kenyang" said Ayra who sounded very soft.

Ayra opened her mouth, receiving a mouthful of soup from Athena.

"She's smart, Tristan?"

"Tristan's big brother" Tristan chimed in

As the 4th bribe was about to enter her mouth, Ayra held it in.

"Sir, brother" he said.

Athena nodded in understanding. He helps Ayra to drink.

"Just now, brother return the plate to the kitchen" said Athena.

The two gender-different boys nodded simultaneously.

"Dec, the cassava chips are really good. Bang Raga who carried "Tristan tried to open a conversation with his sister.

Ayra just looked at Tristan with her beautiful eyes. He nodded. The little boy would often feel the delicious chips made by Vania, Mama Raga

"You want Tristan ready?" tristan asked while thrusting a piece of cassava chips in front of his sister's mouth.

Ayra takes a bribe from Tristan.

"Thank you" he said so softly.

Tristan patted the top of Ayra's head slowly.

"Jake's dad must have been happy to see Ayra eating the chips again. Abraham's grandfather must be happy, his two grandchildren love each other" Tristan said.

Ayra nodded in agreement to Tristan's words.

"Hurry to heal well so you can play again, same Regan as well" said Tristan.

"Yes, sister" Ayra replied.

The scene in front of her made Athena wipe her falling tears. Tristan, despite her young age, can play the role of an older sister to Ayra.

After 7 days the departure of Abraham and Jake, Brian, Brandon and Tristan say goodbye to return to their respective homes. Brandon will head straight to RelFath Island, while Brian and Tristan will head to C.

Ayra could already smile, she also waved her hand at Brian, Brandon and Tristan as the car that was taking them to the airport started leaving residence 05.

"The smile of a granddaughter opa is so sweet" Lathief said. He kissed Ayra's cheek.

"Thank you, opa" said the little boy.

"Let's go, Ayra said her hair was braided, here Oma help" call Aina to sit in front of her.

Ayra approached Omanya who was sitting on the topmost rung. I do not know since when the red pigtails and combs are in the hands of the Oma.

Aina is so good at braiding hair. He used to braid the hair of Alda, Athena and now Ayra.

"The beauty of Daddy's son" said Renal, who just got out of his car.

Ayra stood up, she spread out her hands, as if asking to be carried by Renal.

Lathief and Aina who saw him smiled happily. Ayra is so lucky to be surrounded by people who are full of love and affection.

From inside the house, Alda and Ivana brought a tray containing pudding and also drinks.

"The kids don't have Ren yet?" ask Ivana.

"Not yet, still in the way of times" Renal replied.

Ivana nodded, then petrified Alda to arrange his drink on the carpet.

They hope that even in this simple way, they can restore Ayra's smile.
