The first person Refald came to was Leo. When Refald told Leo that he would be gone for a long time, Leo was shocked. This was the first time her brother had said anything unusual. Refald's departure this time can not be equated with his departure as before. That makes Leo a little sad too. The two were chatting on the balcony of Leo's magnificent palace.
“Don't put yourself in a dangerous position again, Leo. This time if you call my name, I can't come to your aid, nor can my troops, they've all disappeared from this world for a while. You won't see them again now,” Refald said. He stared straight at the beautiful view of the courtyard of his cousin's mension.
“What? Mr Po has disappeared too? Everything?” Leo didn't know what to say. It is hard to describe how Shena's husband feels after hearing Refald's explanation of her disappearance.
“Ehm, everything without exception.” Refald stared intently at his beloved sister's face. “Titip Rey, Leo. As long as I was gone, he must have lost his father figure. He admires you so much. Please take care of him for me.” Refald is serious at the moment.
“Don't worry, Brother. I'll have Yeon and Bima accompany him. I'll also give them up where Rey is. I won't leave Rey alone. Leave everything to me. I'll also ask Shena to be with her sister-in-law often so that she won't be lonely as long as you carry out your mission.”
“Thank God I have a sister no morals like you, but still reliable.” Refald patted Leo's shoulder gently.
“You're starting to get me fighting again,”protes Leo.
“It is precisely our quarrel that makes me miss you so much later.” Refald laughs. Leo laughed too.
“We will fight again after you return, even if we need to fight, but you must not use your strength. My opponent as an ordinary human, I want to prove that I am much stronger than you.” although sad, Leo tried hard to be strong in front of his cousin brother who is always this restless.
“Agree, I'll kick your ass later after I get back.” Refald hugged Leo tightly as a farewell greeting.
It is heartwarming to have this bond of brotherhood between Leo and Refald. The journey of love story both are also rare and successful to make anyone jealous. Even in the real world, men like Leo and Refald are very rare or could be non-existent.
After being satisfied with Leo's farewell, Refald went to meet Zaya and Sanha. Refald was relieved that his sister had lived happily together with her husband. There's nothing to worry about about Zaya's life, nor about her closest friend Eric. Nura is a good match for Eric even though they fight more than romantic.
Now, it was Refald's turn to meet his parents who happened to be in Germany. But before that, he met Leo's father and mother who also turned out to be in his own castle. It's nice to be Refald, he just lives clang cling alone to meet anyone he likes wherever that person is. Including his beloved uncle who is none other than Byon Pyordova. At first Byon and Biyanca objected, but upon hearing Fey's husband's explanation, his uncle and aunt accepted Refald's departure with a heavy heart.
“We will always wait for your arrival, Refald. Meet me as soon as you get back.” Those were the words Byon spoke while tightly hugging his beloved niece.
"Of course, Uncle. See you soon, bye Aunty." Leo waved his hand at the two lovebirds who were longing to old age and went missing again to where his parents were.
“I can't say anything because you are so much better than me in every way,” Refald's father said as Refald came to say goodbye to his father and mother. “Take care of yourself wherever you are and don't worry about all of us here. As soon as you return later, I will have a welcoming party of your arrival with very festive.” Refald's father immediately embraced his son's body.
All this time, Mr. Dilagara did not say much, but he was very proud and lucky to have a single son as great as Refald. Not even a word of amazement would be enough to express how extraordinary a figure of a Refald was. While Fey hugged the mother-in-law who had been crying incessantly after Refald revealed his arrival here.
“Thanks, Dad. For everything, and I am also very grateful to have betrothed me to a woman as beautiful as Shiyuri. Maybe I wouldn't be this strong if Fey wasn't my wife.” Refald smiled at his father.
“Sure, every parent knows what is best for their child. The only perfect woman to be your life partner is Fey. There's nothing else. No matter how powerful destiny is toying with your love, you and Fey can still be together again.” Refald's father gently patted his two burly sons' shoulders while whispering something to Refald, making Fey's husband's eyes sparkle with delight.
“Of course, Dad. Just wait later, take care of your father and mother's health until I return.” Refald continued to laugh happily and made Fey squint with curious eyes, what made her husband's face so happy.
Refald turned to his mother who had begun to gray. It was very natural because his beautiful mother already has a grandchild who began to grow up and ready to marry.
“Your beloved daughter-in-law is here, Mother. Don't cry, I'm only gone for a while. Besides, your son-in-law that you chose for me didn't come with me. Don't be lebay so.” god Refald on his mother.
“Who is crying you, stupid! I don't mind how long you're going. All I'm worried about is my wife and grandchildren. I can't imagine their days without you. If I had two sons, I would have had my other son accompany Fey so that he would not be alone,” isak mother of Refald.
“Mother ... don't start again, why do you think like that?” peekuk Refald annoyed, could-mu mother heat up by handing Fey to others.
“Mother is just kidding, Refald. You're the one who's better off for taking mom's words seriously.” Fey defended her mother-in-law and she immediately got a hug from Refald's mother while crying.
“Mother, who wants to go is not your daughter-in-law, but I .. why do you make me like a stepson only.” Refald's face began to look at the opposite attitude of his mother's father.
“Go there! I don't want to see you!” put Refald's mother out crying in his daughter-in-law's arms.
Actually, Fey's mother-in-law is also very sad, but she prestige if she had to cry over the departure of her own son in front of her daughter-in-law. As a result, he pretended not to care about Refald's departure.
There was nothing that Refald could do. He was just waiting for his mother who was crying while scratching her head. While Fey continues to calm his mother-in-law. He doesn't know if he should be sad or happy. For she herself was also powerless to face her husband soon to leave her.
Late at midnight, the couple joined hands to where Rhea was. Their son-in-law was fast asleep in a modest house owned by a grandmother who lived with her arrogant granddaughter. Fey was surprised because the place chosen by Refald turned out to be very far from his prediction. Rey's mother somewhat disagrees if Rhea has to face her 3-year days in a place like this. Refald's wife could imagine what Rhea would face after this.
“My husband, aren't you in the wrong place? Rhea will stay in this place? Why don't you tell the granny to stay at Mr. Po's house. It was Rhea's own father's house. Why did you let them live in this little shack?” Fey began to ask questions. More precisely, he protested against Refald.
“This is for Rhea's own good, Honey. Riska and Noval will guarantee Rhea's well-being and all her needs as long as she stays here without any shortcomings. Even Rhea could also get the education she wanted. The factory I built, it all belonged to Rhea. Meanwhile, Risk is the one who helps manage it until Rhea is ready to replace Riska later.
“Don't worry, Honey. As long as Rhea stayed with Haida's grandmother, any demon could not interfere or approach her. Grandma Haida is no ordinary grandmother. She is the same as Kaede's grandmother in Inuyasha. It was he who also helped Rhea teach the ritual she would undergo to make me come back.” Refald gave a long and high explanation while observing his son-in-law who was fast asleep.
Refald had manipulated her memory so that once Rhea realized, then the girl would forget all her memories together with Rey. Rhea only remembered that she was Haida's grandmother's adopted granddaughter.
“Who is Haida's grandmother, Refald?” Fey was curious because it was the first time he heard the name of the grandmother.
“Will I explain later after I get back, Honey. I can't explain who he is now. No one knows who this woman really is, and only I know. That's why I left Rhea to her, and not to Riska or Noval.”
“You're sure Rhea will be really okay with them?” Fey was a little anxious about the neighborhood Rhea was living in today.
Just behind the simple house that Rhea lived in, there was a large lake that was unique and rare. It seems, only Haida's grandmother would dare to build a house near this lake, while other villagers prefer to build their cottage a little far from the lake. It's very strange actually, but Refald has made a decision which means he knows that this is the best option for Rhea.
“I'm sure, although there are so many stumbling blocks in Rhea's life. This son-in-law of ours must have been able to go through all the trials of life until you and Rey got here. Rhea must be fine, Honey.” Refald grabbed Fey by the hand and took him away from Haida's grandmother's halfway house without being noticed by anyone.
“Alright, I won't comment any more then. After this, where are we going again? It's past midnight.” Fey was sad because it was almost morning, which meant that Refald would soon disappear from this world.
“Back home, come on Honey.” Refald hugged his wife's body and disappeared back into his home.
Both were in Rey's room still unconscious. Refald walked slowly and sat down beside his son who was lying on the bed. “You must be strong Rey, I will take care of you from afar. Stay happy even if there is no father by your side. Don't ask your mother to argue about anything. I love you, my son. See you soon.” Refald kissed Rey's forehead and gently rubbed her head to erase Rey's memory.
Refald looked at Fey's face and asked him to go to bed together in their room. Refald continued to hug his wife and also continued to kiss her endlessly as if this was the last kiss before Refald actually left. Fey himself also did not refuse and resigned completely. He gave up all his body and soul just for his beloved husband. Tonight is the last night the two are together.
“Refald, what did your father-in-law whisper to you earlier? Why do you look happy?” fey asked on the sidelines as Refald enjoyed his kiss.
“Dad ask for a gift from us as soon as I return later,” replied Refald while smiling sweetly at Fey.
“What gift?”
“You'll know later, Honey. I can't tell you right now. I love you, remember that.” Refald continued his ritual.
On this silent night, two men were giving their farewells behind thick warm blankets. Even the little beasts did not want to make a sound as if they were paying homage to the king of Dedemit to enjoy this last night with his wife before Refald left.
“Goodbye dear Refald, see you again in the next three years. I ... also love you more than anything,” isak Fey while holding tightness in the chest. Fey woke up from his sleep and sat down at a table. He took a pen and began writing a song lyrics on white paper as a form of expression of his feelings.
Really Go
When the night time will come ...
I don't want to be alone ...
Always want to be accompanied by you
Hugged me in loneliness ...
When the night starts to quiet
I don't want to be left alone
Always wanted to be with you
Until you really are gone
That's the lyric piece of a song that's also one of Fey's favorite songs. He did not expect the meaning in the song Fey would experience in his life. Fey cried again and put his face on the table.
“Don't cry again, Fey. You must be strong. Refald will come back to you, this farewell is only temporary. Live the days as usual and keep up the spirit. You have to stay strong for Rey your son,” Fey muttered to himself.
Many times Fey wiped her tears. He continued to strengthen his heart and tried to get used to it through his days without Refald by his side.
“Mother, where are you?” rey shouted from outside her mother's room.
“Here! Come in, Rey.” hastily Fey put down his pen and got up from the chair to approach his only son, the fruit of his love along with Refald.
THE END
***
3 Years later ....
Fey opened Rey's window curtain. His only son was fast asleep after last night just returned to hiking together with Yeon and Bima. The son of Leo and Shena is none other than Rey's own cousin.
For the past 3 years, the 3 brothers have always been together. Where Rey is, that's where Yeon and Bima are. Leo deliberately asked his sons to always accompany his cousin, not to let Rey alone. Yeon invites Rey up the mountain to fill her free time. For some reason, since the incident 3 years ago, Rey turned quiet and did not like to interact with anyone but the people closest to her.
Of course it makes the whole Rey family so worried but also do not know what to do. Fortunately, Rey still wants to be invited by Yeon to join the nature-loving organization on their campus so that the cousin often hiking together. Just last night Rey came home from hiking and now sleeps well.
“Wake up Darling, you have to get ready.” Fey sat down beside Rey and wiggled her son's back.
Rey rolled up and tried to open her eyes that felt heavy, she saw the beautiful face of her mother who every day instead of getting older but instead looks youthful. Many people think that Fey is Rey's lover, not her mother.
“What time is this, Mom? Why did you wake me?” rey asked as she yawned and closed her eyes again.
“We're going somewhere. Let's get up and clean yourself up, later we can be late.”
“Where are we going?”
“To aunt Riska and Noval's wedding anniversary party. They want us to come, you have to replace your father as a representative.” Fey opens Rey's blanket.
“Then what about my lecture, Mom?”
“Ehm, actually I transferred you to a new university. You said yourself that you want to move.”
“Where?” Rey was a bit surprised but also relieved.
“Near the residence of aunt Riska and uncle Noval. There is one of the best universities and no less cool with other famous universities. It is suitable for you if you want to avoid the noise of Yeon and Bima.” Fey knew exactly what his son wanted.
“They both will definitely be transferred uncle Leo there too Mother. I asked to move not because of the two of them.” Rey starts to get out of bed and picks up her towel.
“What's because of women?” guess Fey. He watched the movements of his son who paced back and forth.
“That's one of them, Mother. I don't want to be chased by a lot of annoying women.”
Fey just smiled because his son had now changed drastically. He is no longer similar to Leo who likes to play games with women. Now, Rey tends to be more similar to Refald. Though Rey's memory has been erased, but his nature is not the same as before, Rey who now really looks like Refald when he left Fey fled first.
“Mother, what in the past, I have a lover?” suddenly, Fey asked like that.
“Why are you suddenly talking like that?” Fey asked back. Rey may have begun to remember her erased memories.
“Now, whenever a woman comes near me, I feel that I have no interest in them at all as if I were waiting for someone. What happened to me, Mother? Why does my heart feel sad, but I don't know why.” Rey felt something was happening to her.
“You will know all the answers to your questions when the time has come Rey. I can't explain it to you, because I don't know either. Already, don't ask much, now take a quick shower! I don't want to be late for the party. We also have to look around the house that we will live in there later.” Fey encouraged his son's body to quickly clean up and get ready.
There was nothing Rey could do but comply with her mother's request. “Good Mother. Just wait outside, I'll be ready in 30 minutes.” Rey closes the bathroom door with a smile.
“Finally, the anticipated day is coming soon. We'll meet again soon, my dear husband. Rey's memory has begun to return, it didn't take long for her to remember her entire past. Especially if he met with Rhea, most likely Rey already remembered what happened between herself and also Rhea.” murmured Fey while walking out the door of Rey's room.
Fey's heart was blooming imagining the appearance of what Refald would do later. During these 3 years, Fey really waited for the arrival of the person who was very much missed. What's Refald like now? Is it the same as it was or is there a change? Fey was very curious and could not wait to see Refald and his entire army.
ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU!
