The latitude is waiting. Looking out the window with a blank look. Never stop praying for her husband, not just for his spirit. However, for the body is also not found until now.
One week passed, Lintang still hopes for her husband's return. Although the possibility was very small, still he was convinced by the miracle of God.
Lintang days passed just by daydreaming, smiling himself when looking at photos of Yudha, joking with the Lion, and occasionally crying. Remembering the person who made his life colorful. Especially when Lintang remembers Yudha's struggle to get himself, surely the guilt is mounting.
Since that incident, every day Andreas came to the house. Reporting on every development of the company he now holds, with the help of Bian, Andreas is able to handle the job well.
The car stopped in the yard of Lintang house. Andreas came down to Bu Fatimah who was sitting on the front porch. As usual, he handed the documents in front of the woman. Giving instructions as to what Lintang should do, the only person now entitled to replace Yudha's position. After Ms. Fatimah went inside, Andreas contacted Lintang. They talk on the phone.
"That's a project report that's out of town. Please sign me," Andreas' pinta in a friendly manner.
The latitude reads carefully. Do not want the slightest mistake when acting, for him the company is a great trust from the husband that he must take care of as well as possible.
"I leave all the work to you and Bian. When I am ready, I will continue. But don't forget, keep looking for Mas Yudha until she meets."
"Good, Mom." Although the statement from the villagers was very convincing, Andreas was still looking for traces of Yudha.
Since he was declared dead, Lintang locked himself in a room. His life was dark without direction. As if I had no purpose anymore. Lion, only that brat always encouraged him to stay upright.
After he finished signing, Lintang came out of his room to approach Bu Fatimah. Ask the woman to return the documents. Not much to say, just something he thinks is important, that's all. The latitude is now closed even with the family.
Ms. Indri was very concerned about Lintang, her face was pale, lately besides having difficulty eating, her daughter-in-law had never taken care of her appearance, losing Yudha made Lintang weak.
''What do you want to eat today?'' tawar Bu Indri, approaching Latitude and embracing it. All the families deliberately live in the Lintang house. Provide a new atmosphere so that Lintang can be rigid.
Lintang knocked on his chin like he was thinking of something. Observing the list of foods that have always been his favorite and Yudha.
For my son's sake, I should be able to. That's how his heart says.
"Whatever, Mama only. If anything, I'd like to eat Yudha's favorite meal." Lintang wrapped his wounds that never subsided with a smile.
Ms. Indri raised her thumb sign in agreement. He knew, if Lintang just pretended, from the sad eyes, Lintang could not lie to everyone, that he was still swept away in grief.
Ms. Fatimah came back to the latitude again. He brought a small piece of paper and gave it to his daughter.
Whatever needs my mother ran out of, I would buy her.
That's what Andrew wrote in the paper.
In the house of many people, yet only Andreas was the only one who noticed about it. Impressed trivial, yet very valuable.
Lintang looked towards the front door, as the assistant looked back at him. Andreas' loyalty is so extraordinary that it makes Lintang amazed.
"Tell Mr. Andreas, have him buy Lion's milk, ma'am," Lintang replied without turning his eyes.
Usually Yudha who always asked like that, but now someone else must take care of him and Lion.
Just turning over, there was a sound from the front. Madam Indri in the kitchen came back out.
Like Miss Natalie's voice?
Andreas and Mr. Didin stood in the doorway, blocking Natalie's step that kept forcing her way in.
The latitude grabbed onto Lion's tiny body and clenched it tightly.
''Mas Yudha is dead, I am more entitled to my son, you do not interfere, Natalie snapped to Andreas and Mr. Didin.
Latitude chest rumbles, there is a sense of fear that settles, even though in reality Lion is only a child, Lintang is not willing if the boy goes with Natalie who has the status of a biological mother.
"Mother has no right to bring Lion, because power has fallen in the hands of Bu Lintang."
"Cross, get out of you!" screamed Natalie out loud.
Bu Indri embraces the bodies of Latang and Lion. It shook slowly, giving the son-in-law a code not to respond to Natalie.
"Please get out of here! Or I'll call the citizens to expel mother." Pointing towards the gate.
Andreas is firm, however, he wants to give comfort to Lintang and Lion. They are a big responsibility that he must protect. Even though he had to sacrifice his life, he did not refuse to give up.
"I'm going to take this case to the legal track. I'll make sure you lose this time" Natalie threatened and left.
This must not happen, however Lion will stay with me.
Lintang handed Lion to Bu Indri, he walked towards the front. Closing the door a little, leaving the assistant outside, while he was inside.
''I beg you to win this case, do not let Lion fall into the hands of Miss Natalie. Poor Yudha, if she knew all this, she must have suffered when she saw her son with the woman she hated the most."
"Good, Mom. I will try to calm the case" replied Andreas. Although he himself was not sure, at least gave an answer that made Lintang relieved.
"What's this?" A heavy voice greeted from outside.
"Sorry, Sir. Natalie's mom came, she wanted to take over custody of Lion," Andreas replied clearly.
"Papa, please help me," cried Lintang from within sounding clear.
Mr. Radit entered, approaching the latitude that was still leaning against the wall. His eyes are swollen making Radit piba.
"Don't worry, papa has a thousand ways to get the Lion, papa make sure your grandson won't fall into anyone's hands, including Natalie."
Lintang was moved to hear Mr. Radit's words. It turns out that all this time, he was surrounded by people who were kind and dear to him.
After hearing Mr. Radit's explanation, Andreas passed to continue his duties in the office.
Yudha, I will take care of whatever you leave behind. If you are alive, go home. We all miss you, but if God loves you more. I will try to be sincere, may you get the best place by His side. Wait me.
Latang wiped his tears. Then, regroup with the others.
