Cloudy on the face of the family Paradise can not be removed even though the sunlight continues to show its charm to all parts of the earth. Today, the former hospital director has returned to the Creator's side, leaving behind two sons from different wives. One daughter-in-law and three adorable grandchildren.
Several employees of Persada International Hospital also delivered the body of the former hospital director to the last bed. The sound of sobs continued to echo until everyone arrived at a public cemetery in the Jakarta area.
Firdaus's departure leaves a deep sorrow for the family left behind, especially for Rayyan. He had to look back at how his loved ones left for good. Although there were no clear circles flowing in the corner of his narrow eyes, but the evidence of sadness was plastered when he looked at the mound of land had buried the body of his beloved father. His nose was sour, his reddened eyes could not hide his deep pain.
As for Raihan, he only stared when he saw that his dear father had now been lying in his last bed. The man's eyes were puffy and reddened. Now, he can feel what it feels like to be abandoned by a loved one forever.
"Mas, the sky is already cloudy. We better get home soon. You also have to hurry to clean yourself," said Arumi while gently rubbing her husband's shoulder. He and the two handsome men were crouching beside the tomb of Paradise.
Mounds of red soil that is still wet, the scent of flower petals on the tomb and clouding the sky seeded the three adult humans. That afternoon, the sunlight turned cloudy as if he also felt the sadness that was enveloping the Paradise family.
"How is my next life when there is no Papa beside me? Now I have become a kara without any parents and relatives accompanying," said Rayyan lirih. The gaze of the eyes continued to look up at the tombstone, bearing the name, date of birth and date of death of the grandfather of three twins.
A beautiful former doctor approached her husband. He hugged the body of the man who had legalized it one year ago, and clenched it tightly. "Everything will be fine, Mas, just as it was before Papa left this mortal world. There's still me, Triplet and Mama Nyimas with you. So, never feel that you are living alone on this earth."
Hearing the soft and soul-soothing voice, made the burly body of the handsome twenty-eight-year-old man begin to move down and up. Soon, tears began to wash over her cheeks. The man sobbed in the warm embrace of his beloved wife.
"Why did everyone I loved leave me? Why, Babe? Is ... I do not deserve the love and affection of both parents?" rayyan asked with sobs. Truly, he could no longer contain the tears that had been detained by him.
"God! Don't talk like that. Don't blame yourself. These are all visions of fate from God, nothing to do with you." Gently rubbed her husband's back lovingly. He let the man cry, pouring out the contents of the heart that was soaked in the chest.
When Rayyan cried sobbing in the arms of his beloved wife, Raihan just stared softly at the brother. The man felt half his soul leave his body. The chest felt as tight as a big chunk of rock.
Long enough they fell silent next to the Phirdaus navel, until without feeling the rustling of rain water began to fall slowly soaking the earth. At the same time, Rayyan broke down a hug. Now he had begun to feel calm after pouring out his sorrow in the arms of his beloved wife.
In a stinging voice, Rayyan said, "We're going home now. Pity the children for waiting too long." Then, he got up from his place and then extended his hand forward.
Without hesitation, Arumi received a helping hand from her husband until their palms touched each other. However, before leaving the eater, the woman turned her head to the right.
"Raihan, you better come with us now. It is not good to continue lamenting the departure of Papa Firdaus. What is even burdensome to him if we continue to cry over his departure," said Arumi softly.

The drizzle of rain during the day that soaked the city of Jakarta slowly began to subside. Cloudy clouds are still clearly visible above the sky. Two of Firdaus' sons and one of his daughters-in-law walked together down the path to the parking lot.
"Sister Rayyan, can we talk for a second? There are important things I want to talk to you about with four eyes" Raihan said as they approached a four-wheeled vehicle parked under a banyan tree.
Raihan's nasal voice powerfully stopped Arumi's husband's footsteps. Rayyan squinted her eyes, staring intently at the man walking next to her.
"What do you want to talk about until you ask my wife to stay away from me, huh? If it's important why not let Arumi stay by my side? Whatever you want to talk about, let him hear it!" he said with a tinge. Although a while ago they seemed to be getting along very well, it did not mean that the man could easily accept Raihan as his biological sister.
High intonation, makes a beautiful-eyed woman quite jerky. Arumi was quite surprised to hear the voice of her husband. Seeing the look of tension-filled face painted in front of there made the woman furrow both eyebrows. His brain was thinking hard about what his sister-in-law was trying to say so that he had to leave them both.
Is this related to the message that Firdaus specifically conveyed to Raihan? Or could it be that there was something else that really mattered making the man want himself to leave his current place?
A million questions filled Arumi's head. In an instant, he turned like a gossip news hunter discussing celebrity news in waterproof. Staring fixed on the brown iris of the sister-in-law.
Raihan who happened to be looking at Arumi immediately gave a hard code to the woman as if begging to give the handsome man next to her to be able to speak gently.
Arumi took a deep breath while closing her eyes for a moment. Through the gaze of those eyes, he was sure that Raihan did not want to be disturbed by anyone even though that person was his own brother-in-law.
"All right, I'll wait for you in the car. When it's done, leave this place before the sun turns into twilight." Without saying, Arumi had left the two handsome men behind. He swings his legs towards Rayyan's favorite car.
"Sister Rayyan .. I actually want to ...."
