Seno took out a brevet from her pants pocket, then gave it to Puji. Back, both of Eko's parents were moved by Seno's last gift.
“Pak governor leave this for mom and dad. It's a flyover brevet for Eko. You can fit it in Eko.”'s uniform
The crying of Puji broke again. He then entered his son's room. Eko's air force cadet uniform was taken out of the closet and hung on the handle of the closet. After wiping her tears, the woman pinned the flying brevet over. His position was above the brevet of the basics that his son had once gotten.
“Eko would be happy. Now he has two brevets in his uniform. Hopefully later, we can give a third brevet for him,” said Azzam.
Gendis rubbed the melted tears on her cheeks. Until now the girl still can not fully accept the departure of the brother. Sometimes before his sleep, he secretly cried while hugging the photo of Eko.
“Gendis. Later mas Ekomu is also sad if you still cry often,” Yakob said while embracing Gendis' shoulder.
“Masku already exists,” replied Gendis on the sidelines of your crying.
“Mas Eko is calm in nature. You still have a sister, now we also have your brothers,” Willi continued.
Seno looked at Gendis with an uncertain feeling. The guilt still had not completely disappeared from his heart. Especially if you see the attitude of Gendis who is still hostile to him. He could only hope that the girl could forgive him.

After praying, Azzam and the others gathered in the front yard. Slamet, Eko's cousin came and made a bonfire for them. He also brought freshly harvested yams to burn. Abi's giving land was planted with corn, yam, cassava, tomatoes and chili by Darmo. They just harvested yams, tomatoes and chili. Tomorrow they plan to harvest corn.
“Mas Slamet join father also cultivate land?” ask Azzam.
“Iya, Zam. I'm the same brother who helped me. The result is good, yesterday new sales of tomato and chili crops to the market.”
“Alhamdulillah.”
“Tomorrow we want to harvest corn. You guys want to come?”
“Bby, mas.”
“Zam.. You've learned guitar, let's accompany me with bang Yakob singing,” pinta Zakaria.
After Eko died, Azzam had a new hobby, learning guitar. In memory of his best friend, the young man accidentally bought a guitar and learned to play it self-taught. Every holiday, he always took the time to learn.
“Wah.. You can guitar, can you?” ask Yakob.
“Little-little, bang. New learning, not yet smooth.”
“Try to borrow Eko's guitar. Come with me sing.”
Just as Yakob finished his sentence, Gendis came to them. The girl stood in front of the Slamet.
“Mas Slamet when do you want to betulin precarious my room?”
“Oh yes, dig me. Tomorrow by day yes.”
“Don't forget again, mas. Later if it rains, leak my room.”
“Iyo.”
“Her room Gendis leaked?” ask Yakob.
“Iya. The importance of the power is broken. I've prepared instead,” Slamet points to some precariousness placed under the bale-bale.
“But have not had time to replace it,” continued Slamet.
“Tomorrow let us change. Now we sing first,” replied Yakob.
Slamet just nodded his head. Seno stood up and went inside the house. He'll get the guitar from inside Eko's room. When he entered the house, he saw Gendis had just come out of his best friend's room.
“Gendis.. I want to borrow his guitar Eko,” Seno said.
“Take aja,” replied Gendis without looking at Seno.
“Gendis. I know, you must be mad at me about Eko. I don't want this to happen either. I'm really sorry.”
“If not for helping Seno, my brother would have died. Why would Eko help you, why?”
Undeniably, Seno's heart was sliced to hear the words of Gendis. If he could choose, he also did not want to be the cause of his own best friend's death. If Gendis knew, the moral burden he bore upon the departure of the friend.
Seeing Seno who was just silent, Gendis immediately left the young man. Praise who was in the kitchen, accidentally listening to her daughter talk with Seno. The woman rushed out of the kitchen, then approached Seno.
“Pardon Gendis Yes, Seno. He still could not accept Eko's departure. Please give Gendis some time. She's still immature.”
“Ngga nothing, ma'am. I understand. I will wait until Gendis will forgive me.”
“You don't feel sad anymore. You should be more enthusiastic about living your life.”
“Iya, mom. I want to borrow Eko's guitar, ma'am.”
“Take it in room.”
Seno moved from her place, then went into Eko's room to pick up the guitar. Praise your entrance into Gendis's room. He had to talk to his daughter. It would be unwise for the girl to blame Seno for Eko's departure. Praise to Gendis who sits on the side of the bed. Her daughter is shrinking her tears.
“Nduk..” call Puji while sitting beside Gendis.
“Why are you acting like this to Seno?”
“For him, mas Eko died.”
“Thoughfar, nduk. Masmu died because it was his fate. Even if it doesn't help Seno, your mas will still leave us all. It is not good that you bestow blame on Seno. He is also saddened and devastated by Eko's departure. All his life, maybe he'll be overwhelmed with guilt. You have to take it, nduk. Look, your masmu has left his five best friends for us. You're gone, but your brother's best friend is here to take care of you, mom and dad. I hope you don't hold a grudge and hate on Seno. It will only hurt your heart.”
Gently, Puji rubbed his daughter's long shoulder-length hair. Then the woman left Gendis alone. After Puji's death, Gendis was still silent in her place, contemplating her mother's speech just now.
