...🍂🍂🍂...
Fina stared at her grandmother's face while turning off her phone unilaterally. Worse, behind her stood Lady Lydia.
" Kiss? "
" In front of Riko?"
Ms. Asmah looked at her grandson's face which was currently pias with a lookful gaze.
" E ..em Oma!" Fina stammering. A burrowing tub caught wet by its owner. Suddenly choking on his own saliva.
" Try explaining what Oma should have heard!" the old woman stared intently at Fina's already very frightened face.
.
.
The three women stared at the table in front of them. Fina has told me everything without any responsibility. Now, the awkwardness is encircling the three women.
Ms. Asmah massaged her forehead while Ms. Lydia was seen closing her eyes after hearing her son's story.
" Fina has no other way, Fina just wants to make Riko stop chasing Fina mah!" he said break the silence.
" Fina doesn't want to be close to Riko anymore!"
Lady Lydia looked on her son's face.
" Ibuk do not know how to educate you how so far Lid. I think he's here to heal. Remembering Guntoro's story saying that Fina was too naughty in town!" Ms. Asmah mummet instantly to realize the actions of her granddaughter.
Lady Lydia just lowered her head in resignation while gulping her saliva hard. He is aware of his mistake. Too pampering Fina.
" That is why mas Gun forbade Fina to be close to Riko Buk. Because his parents often justify all means in defeating his business rivals!" mrs Lydia with a grim face.
Making Fina flinch "Why didn't you say it from the beginning mah?" sergeant Fina couldn't accept it because of why his mother just said it now.
" Where have you ever heard your father say, remember the last time you spoke well?" Lady Lydia vaporized what she had been craving all this time. With the fireworks he set his breath.
" Already, why are you even fighting?" Ms. Asmah was really at her mumet point back then.
" Guntoro should know this insanity. It's about the safety of others Fin. That guy named Riko is not a guy we can afford to be!"
Making Fina and Lady Lydia exhale each other.
" But we can't do much either. They're too powerful!" fina said frustrated.
" If something happens to Ambar's son, what should we do?" Ma'am Asmah thought hard. This is already too much.
Making Fina and her mother also massaged her forehead because they barely found a meeting point.

Hospital
That morning there were no signs of change, even Ayu's condition worsened. The bedside monitor next to Ayudya's bed was getting weaker. Makes Ambarwati panic. He was ordinary and did not know what the reaction of the medical equipment meant.
Bedside Monitor is a tool used to monitor a patient's vital sign, in the form of heart rate, pulse, blood pressure, continuously.
" Ndu, what's the matter?" Ambarwati panicked when she heard the device change sound. Pandu who had just fallen asleep because he was awake all night, now woke up again because of the panic of his mother.
" What's up Buk?" he said by shaking his head that was a bit dizzy.
" Look at this Ndu!" frantically Ambarwati pointed towards the screen whose voice changed. The fluctuation of the line is also getting slower.
" Wait a minute Buk, I'll call the doctor!"
The guide darted with a head that felt thrown so heavy. The man actually lost a minimal rest hour (minimum rest time) which usually must be at least eight hours.
Coincidentally the doctor will check on Ayu's condition that morning. The guide revealed what he had just heard to the doctor. They walked with quick steps towards Ayu's room.
Clearly signifies precarious and worrying.

Lightning seemed to snatch away Pandu that second as well, when he saw a yellow flat line that was plastered on the Bedside monitor. Worse still, his mother had cried roaring while shaking his sister's body.
The catastrophe has come.
" My pediatrician why Doc?" said Mother with tears soaking her clean cheeks, as the man in white clothes arrived at the room where ayu was being treated.
The doctor and a nurse were seen examining several parts before confirming it. The use of a heart shock device but the results are nil.
With a chest that seemed to be torn apart, he looked at the pale face of his brother who was not acting.
" Sorry Buk, with great regret we have to say...."
The doctor spoke with a grim face. A news that is very difficult to report the reality, but still must be uttered.
That instant also the dizziness lodged in Pandu's head turned into a pain that many fold legs hit him. Hitting a sense of ambition that is now increasingly shaky.
Along with that, he was shocked because his mother's body was suddenly limp.
" Mom!"
...🍂🍂🍂...
The white flag is weak. As weak as the Pandu who was acting strong at that time. In his eyes his sister who is now stretched stiff with a pale face.
Didn't think that the catastrophe had come quickly without compromising on him first. The guide really has no power.
Ayudya had abandoned himself for a long time.
Ambarwati's blank face as if representing Pandu's self-destruction. All of this is too soon for him to examine. Failing to be a sister. I feel useless as a brother.
Grief was clearly implied on Pandu's face. The man was unceasingly sitting next to his sister's body, which was spread north. Looking at ayu's face with a pushy look.
"Why did you go so fast Yuk?"
" Ndu!" His three best friends were there. Gives strength and feels loss.
" Patience, sincerity!" Aji patted Pandu's shoulder which was clearly currently in the nadir of life.
The mourners filled the Pandu house. The neighbors were also crying. Moreover, they all remembered the targedi that caused Ayudya to die.

Seraphina
Heart's claustrophobic. His chest is sore, his soul is bitter. In his face Pandu's face is empty and looks heavy burdened. He did not dare to approach. Only dare to stare with tears that increasingly torture themselves.
Her guilt completely eroded the remaining courage to just say hello. Fina was on the verge of ambiguity.
" We'll talk to Pandu and his family later!" Oma rubbed his grandson's back. Staring softly at Pandu from behind the crowd of mourners.
Mama who initially acted indifferently to Pandu, now looks also shed her tears. " Fin!" said the mother who might be pitying to look at the state of the Pandu family.

The low noise of mourners gradually inaudible from the cemetery area. Leave Pandu and his three friends. The mother was at home unconscious when her son was headed to the funeral. Lik Sarip's wife was the one who faithfully accompanied Mom.
Now, the bitter reality must be swallowed consciously. God has called his brother to come home without even talking to each other.
Although his heart was tight and poignant, but somehow from getting out of the hospital to the funeral home, his tears dried up. Not even a drop out of his two neutrals.
In his face the wet mound of the navel with a pushy look. His mind read the inscription carved on the tombstone with an indecipherable face.
...Ayudya Kinati bint Sulaksono...
" Ndu, it's raining !" Ajisaka patted his best friend's shoulder. Reminds if soon heavy rain will pour into the area.
Pandu did not answer, he shook his head while crouching in front of his sister's belly button. The shadow of ayu's smiling face while fishing in the river some time ago, the smiling face of ayu after being cut by Fina, makes Pandu's tears now slide just like that.
Now he was really crying over the departure of his sister who he never thought would come so soon.
" Come on!" he was in deep sadness.
Yudhasoka asked Ajisaka to leave Pandu who might need some alone time for his sister. Sakti also nodded, asking Ajisaka to let Pandu.
Do not want Ajisaka according to his two best friends. Now, they really left Pandu alone beside Ayudya's wet belly button.
Cloudy, thick and black enveloped the atmosphere of the cemetery. " Secret to find out who made you look like Yuk. It's your vow!"
" Life debt must be paid with life!" he said with tears flowing constantly.
Lightning suddenly blared. Bak agreed to the vow spoken by the man with a face full of rage. The rain starts to fall. The sky was even saddened by Ayudya's return to the Khalik.
" Guide!" There was a sound of someone he knew
Pandu still lowered his head, closing his eyes. A moment later he stood up after shrinking the rest of his tears.
In a dim state of cloudiness, Pandu looked at Fina that afternoon in surprise. Why is Fina still there.
" I'm sorry!" Fina hugged Pandu while crying. " It's all because of me!" his cry was increasingly broken when Pandu just stood still.
The palanquin was still as Fina's two hands coiled tightly around her stomach. He can even breathe the aroma of shampoo Fina from behind the black pasmina which is now sagging because swept by the wind.
Pandu is still flinching.
" All this is because I brought you into my troubles Ndu. Rikot...Riko yang's...!" fina said while loosening her arms.
The eyes of the guide rounded to hear Fina's words. " What are you saying?"
