How Will You Say Goodbye?

How Will You Say Goodbye?
Request


The day passed, without feeling Kinan carrying out his green table trial today. Of course Kinan was happy because he would soon finish his studies.


"Congratulations Ki, finally your struggle is not in vain. I'm happy for Ki, even though I haven't been able to join the trial today" Desi said.


"Thank you Des, you don't get discouraged"


"This brat you want to continue working where, Ki? Do you want to stay at your brother's house?"


"I have a company selection for me to send you a job application anyway, Des. And I feel like I want to move, I don't feel good living there. Ngerepotin mbak Vienna and Mas Ammar continue, but I also can not go that way. I don't think I know thank you."


"Yes but you are going to college to pursue your goals, Ki! Don't keep working there!"


"Yes, I'll find time to talk to Viennese. I want to be independent, too."


Kinan decided to go home, he wanted to inform Vienna immediately about his successful green table trial and he would soon be graduated.


In addition, Kinan wanted to express his gratitude to Vienna and he wanted to be independent to get out of the Vienna house.


Kinan actually stayed there, but Kinan understood his position, he was hired by Vienna because Vienna wanted to help him.


Kinan wanted to take care of Vienna even longer until Vienna recovered if necessary. But Kinan stopped because he knew, he would forever be considered someone else in the house. Especially by Ms. Latifa.


Arriving home, Kinan did his job as usual. Deliver Vienna food and give Vienna medicine to consume.


"Thank you Ki" said Vienna after he finished drinking water in his glass.


Kinan nodded. His face was doubtful. He wanted to talk about his decision with Vienna.


"Why Ki?"


"I want to talk, ma'am."


"Oh yeah, there's also something to talk about with you."


"What is mbak?"


"Bak has a wish, Ki. Can you please mbak?"


"What do you want, mbak? I'll help you if I can."


Vienna took a deep breath while exhaling it.


"You know, it's not long, Ki."


"Well, how can you talk like that? Don't make me sad, ma'am!" Kinan replied as his tears trickled down. However, for Kinan Vienna was the only family he had.


Vienna nodded, and she was crying now.


"Then from that, Ki. Mbak has a desire to make the family happy. You want to help make it happen?"


"What do you mean?"


"I want that when my time is up, you replace my position Ki, become the wife of Mas Ammar and Mommy for Lesya and Shaka!"


Kinan was flabbergasted at the Vienna request.


"Sir, that is not a request that I can easily grant to mbak!" Kinan replied cautiously fearing offending Vienna.


"Know, Ki. Succeed! But you can't leave your family quietly if they're not with you. You're the only woman who can't believe."


"Mas Ammar is also considering the wishes of this madam, Ki." added Vienna.


Kinan. Her tears did not stop. It feels very crowded considering the demand of Vienna that is contrary to his dreams.


He did not have time to say his intention to work and get out of the Vienna house, but Vienna had already expressed his desire.


"So Ammar heard about this, huh?"


Vienna nodded.


"Yes, but he hasn't decided yet. But whatever her decision is, it won't change what I want and what I've asked her for!" Vienna threw her gaze towards the window of the room.


"Then, can't I decide what I want either, ma'am?"


"If you want to reject it, it's your right! Nor will you force you. You know you have dreams and goals."


"Yes, I have my own desires."


"But please this is Ki, I hope you don't disappoint me for your decision!"


Vienna did not force Kinan, but from his answers and statements Kinan could capture that Vienna wished Kinan very much.


Kinan realized, Vienna had helped him a lot. And whether by granting Vienna's wish, it can then avenge all that Vienna has given Kinan.


Four years Vienna accommodated Kinan in his home. He gave Kinan enough money for Kinan's college needs and needs. Although Kinan considered her to be working and all the money she gave was considered a Salary for Kinan. But in fact, Kinan realized he was not working in this house.


Keeping Vienna was the same as Kinan's own obligations because Kinan was also the only brother that Vienna had. And Kinan was not at all burdened by Vienna.


Is this way Kinan can return the favor to Vienna. Should he sacrifice his dream for this Vienna request?


Vienna asked Kinan several times what he wanted to talk to her about, but it felt like Kinan's spirit to tell him about his dream had vanished somewhere. Kinan decided to withdraw from Vienna. He reasoned to want to think about this again in his room.


******


The twilight has changed the night. It showed a pitch-black sky that closed the light.


The residence of Ammar and Vienna is calm.


As usual, Ammar was reading the Article on his Tablet. Besides, there is Vienna that watches tv using a wheelchair.


Seemed in the front room, the children were working on PR accompanied by their private tutor.


Ms. Latifa was in the kitchen with Irah and Minah, another housekeeper. They're writing a list of things to buy tomorrow.


While Kinan stopped going out of the room, he decided to stay in the room thinking about Vienna's wishes.


Kinan was so upset, he had never even dated. Why was she now faced with a request that required her to marry?


Not to mention his feelings for Ammar are just like his Brother's sister.


How could he marry Ammar? It felt as though Kinan was almost claustrophobic thinking about it.


*****


The sun rose on the eastern horizon, everyone excitedly starting this bright morning.


Unlike usual, Ammar woke up earlier today than Vienna, he wanted to wake Vienna but he decided to take a bath first and let his wife sleep longer.


Ammar is neat with a shirt suit that he chose himself. The black shirt and the cloth trousers were in line with his shirt.


Usually when he was ready to take a bath, Vienna had prepared clothes for Ammar to wear. But now it seems different, Vienna is so good at sleeping.


A smile from his lips made Ammar who was ready to join his smile to see his wife.


"Darling, aren't you awake? I'm going to work this!" The word Ammar gently woke Vienna.


Ammar slightly shook his wife's arm to wake her up.


"Darling, you don't want to wake up? It's noon already. The kids are definitely waiting for us at the dinner table!" His insistence.


Seeing his wife's body no response, suddenly Ammar fell silent. He looked again at his wife's body. Vienna looked very calm in a lying position, did not appear his chest up and down to indicate the woman was breathing.


Ammar fell silent again, driving away the fear in him. Trying to ignore what he has in mind.


He touched his wife's cheek. Chilly. It was cold as if frozen.


Immediately Ammar's tears broke. He roared while holding his wife's body that remained rigidly stretched. Ammar realized that Vienna was gone. Vienna went in her sleep.


As Vienna once said, Vienna can no longer question the state of Ammar.


"Young.mama, Lesya, Shaka!" Jerit Ammar from the room called his family.


At once all who were at the table were shocked to hear Ammar's screams. They rushed to get to Ammar's room.


"What's the matter Mar?" Ask Latifa.


"Ma, Vienna has no ma" said Ammar who sat on the floor crying roaring.


Latifa in shock covered her gaped mouth for a few seconds.


Lesya and Shaka run towards her mother's body. Hugged and slightly shook the body of Vienna. Shock. And not believe.


"Mama!!!" Jerit the little Shaka.


"Mama can't die, ma!" Raung Lesyas.


In the morning, everyone gathered at the grieving Ammar home. Starting from relatives Ammar, neighbors, coworkers and people who have known them.


Kinan did not believe what was happening. His only family has now left him. As well as leaving a request that was not yet answered by Kinan.


It was only last night that Vienna had a one-on-one conversation with Vienna. Digesting all Vienna requests. Vienna was so serious about his wishes. But why is Vienna leaving so quickly? It was as if forcing for Kinan to immediately answer his request with action.


Ammar and his family delivered Vienna's body to its final resting place in tears. The departure of Vienna greatly drained the tears of Ammar and his children. Kinan was no exception, who felt Vienna was the only family he had.


They all left the cemetery, but not Ammar. Ammar was still in his wife's grave.


"Why did you leave me so soon?


I would trade anything to get you back by my side, baby!" ammar was sobbing.


Ammar continued to roar and put out words expressing his unwavering sense of Vienna's departure.


Kinan who wanted to go home was so full to see Ammar from a distance. He decided to go back and take Ammar home.


"You must be sincere, so that Vienna will be happy and calm there!"


Ammar nodded. Slowly he got up and stood up. He realized that there was a Kinan behind him.


"Go home! you can come back later. At least think of the children who also felt lost!" Kinan Pinta.


Ammar nodded again. Listlessly. But finally he followed Kinan's steps to return home. He let Vienna go from his side forever though it was difficult.


On the way home to Ammar and Kinan on foot, Ammar recalls his wife's last request. He decided to slightly offend that with Kinan now.


"Ki?"


"Yes mas?"


"Did Vienna reveal its last wish to you?"


Kinan who initially focused on watching the road in front of him, suddenly turned to look at Ammar's face.


"I-I just heard it yesterday from Vienna, mas."


"What's your decision then?" Ammar smiled sarcastically. A very forced smile.


"I haven't decided yet, my mother!"


"I know Vienna's request may be strange to you. But I realized, Vienna asked that because she knew you were a good person and she did that because she thought of me and my children!"


Kinan nodded. Understand and understand Ammar's intentions.


"If you are alone, have you made a decision?"


"I've made a decision now!"


"What is mas?"


"I will marry you, at the request of Vienna!"


Kinan suddenly stopped his steps. He sculpted. He thought Ammar would reject Vienna's request and free him of the sense of return. But Kinan now knew that Ammar was unlikely to disappoint Vienna by rejecting his final wish. Kinan felt that this was the turning point of all his dreams that he had to bury deeply.
