Honey For Amira

Honey For Amira
Funeral


Everyone this afternoon, is still by Farhan's grave. After they prayed for Farhan, they sowed flowers on Farhan's tomb. 


Ms. Aminah was still crying on the side of her son's grave. Everyone left Farhan's tomb. 


"Farhan, why are you staying here so soon son, why hiks..." said Bu Aminah while wiping the tears on her cheeks. 


Bu Rahayu and Pak Husen approached Bu Aminah who was still standing near Amira. Since then, Aminah did not stop crying. 


"Mr Aminah. The patient yes. We don't know, the age of man. Perhaps, God is more dear to Farhan. That's why he called Farhan so soon. Patience to Ms. Aminah. The sincere, and do not need to be weaned continuously, let Farhan calm on his side," said Mr. Husen. 


"Prophets of Aminah. Farhan is happy now. He no longer felt the pain. And we all know that Farhan spoke the words of God at the end of his life. Don't keep crying. I have forgiven Farhan, we have all forgiven Farhan Bu Aminah's mistakes. Insha Allah, Allah will widen Farhan's grave" said Bu Rahayu before leaving the tomb. 


Bu Aminah looked at Bu Rahayu. 


"Thank you for praying for my son. Forgive all my son's mistakes" said Bu Aminah as she looked at Bu Rahayu and Pak Husen alternately. 


"Yes to Aminah. Then we go home first. We want to see Laila at home. He said he had not been aware until now," said Ms Rahayu again. 


Aminah nodded her head. After saying goodbye to Bu Aminah, Bu Rahayu and Pak Husen then went home. 


After Umi Zahra and Ning Husna left the tomb, it was Gus Farid's turn to go home to Amira, Galih and Bu Aminah. 


"Don't cry Bu Aminah. Ikhlaskan Mas Farhan's. Let him settle down in his new nature. The cry of a person on a dead person will darken the grave. And the lament of a man to a dead man will make a majeure in torment in his grave, "said Gus Farid who made Bu Aminah stop her crying. 


"Is that so Gus?'


"Yes to Aminah. It would be nice, Ms. Aminah sprinkled a lot of flowers on the grave of Farhan. Because it could ease the torment of his grave."


Aminah ma'am nodded. She then wiped her tears that had been wetting her cheeks ever since. 


"Yes Gus. Thanks for the advice."


Gus Farid smiled. 


"I go first Amira, Mas Galih, Miss Aminah."


"Yes Gus."


Gus Farid then left the tomb. 


Yes, before he died, Farhan had advised Galih, so that after he died, he wanted to be buried in the village of Amira. 


Because he wanted to be buried near the grave of his son Fauzan. Galih and Bu Aminah had granted Farhan's wish for the last time to bury Farhan near Fauzan's tomb.  


After everyone left, Amira stared fixedly at Galih. 


"When have you known Mas Farhan Mas's disease?" ask Amira to Galih. 


"Eight months ago," replied Galih who had been staring at the mound of earth in front of him.


"Is he really sick with end-stage brain cancer?"


"Yes Amira. It was me who sent Farhan to check, because he was bleeding from his nose. And he also had frequent headaches even until he fainted,"


"I took the officer to the doctor and saw the results of the ronsen, it turns out Farhan already had the disease. Maybe it's been a long time. A disease that Farhan does not feel" continued Galih. 


"Farhan did deliberately want to keep all of this a secret from all of you. Because he does not want to make you all worried, and I have promised Farhan not to tell you all about his illness" Galih replied at length, what happened to Farhan all this time. 


"Farhan also does not want to check or join the chemo. I was ready to pay for his treatment. But Farhan seems pessimistic to heal. She has no spirit to heal especially when she hears you already have a prospective husband. And you refused his reference. Farhan's getting worse."


"Oh, is that the problem?" 


"He told me at the time, if he wanted to refer you. But you refused, because you already have a husband. And from then on Farhan knew of his illness. He'd rather make himself happy with you and Laila more than treat his illness."


Amira was crying again. 


"Yes Allah Mas Farhan. Why are you hiding all this from us. We all love you, too. If you want to get medicine, you'll be healed."


"I love you, Mas. May you be happy and meet Fauzan in nature. God has taken away your pain. I have let you go, and I have forgiven all your sins." 


"Farhan, I promise. I'll take good care of Laila. I will love her and I will think of her as my own daughter. Farhan, you don't worry about Laila. Laila will definitely be strong through this ordeal" said Galih. 


After a long time in the tomb, finally Bu Aminah, Galih and Amira decided to go home. 


They returned to Amira's house behind the mosque. Because everyone is gathered there now. Perhaps, later tonight they will all hold a lecture to pray for Farhan for the next seven days. 


"Assalamualaikum" said Amira, Galih and Bu Aminah together after arriving in front of Amira's house. 


Everyone answered the greetings of the three men. 


Inside the living room, Ms. Rahayu, Mr. Husen, Ning Husna, Gus Farid and Umi Zahra were already seen gathering there. 


They all smiled when they saw the arrival of Amira, Bu Aminah and Galih. The three people who came home from the tomb, immediately sat mingling with all of them. 


"Where's Laila?" ask Amira.


"Laila's still fainted. He's still the same Novi inside."


"I'm going to Laila's room."


Amira got up from her seat. Then he went to his son's room to see his son.


"Novi, how's Laila doing?"  ask Amira. 


"He's not conscious yet. He's been unconscious for six hours."


"Oh Allah my son. Umi has lost Fauzan and Abi you, Umi also does not want to lose you son. Wake up, wake up for Umi."


Novi stared at Amira. 


"Sir, Laila just fainted. Ordinary fainting. Why are you talking so." Novi looks upset with Amira. 


"Bak's just afraid of losing Laila. Laila's the only child."


"Bak, this world is mortal. Losing is common for the living. We can't stay together forever. Later also Maak must be sincere if Laila taken her husband."


"Yes. You know that."
