Arriving in front of the fence Annete felt strange because he saw people were crowded gathered on the terrace of his house.
"What's this?" his inner. His heart suddenly beat fast, he then ran towards the door of the house out of worry.
"What is this, madam?" he asked one of the women who seemed to be standing outside the door tensely and Annete was also tense to see the atmosphere of his home his mind was immediately fixed on the father.
"The homeowner was found falling in Miss's bathroom," the woman replied but Annete had not heard because his body had entered the house and the atmosphere was boisterous so that the woman's voice was covered with other voices.
"Where's dad?" apparently, Annete continued to look for the whereabouts of his father among the crowd of people there. He found his father in his room but he could not find him. His mind suddenly dizzy to see there were two policemen in his house. Something bad must have happened, he thought.
"What's wrong with dad?" Annete was getting suspicious.
"Net!" call Angel while approaching Annete.
"Where's Gel's dad?" ask her still with a racing heart.
"Prophey Net, uncle Johan is in your room" Angel said carefully fearing Annete's shock.
"Say what's wrong with Gel's dad!" Annete riled up and ran again to his own room.
Arriving at the door of his room Annete's steps stopped for a moment, his blood flow seemed to stop flowing and it felt like his body was squeezed to see the father was stiff on the bed with a face so pale. Annete covered his own face with both of his palms then slowly his body decayed instantly and fell to the floor.
Seeing Annete pass out, Angel immediately asked the people there to lift him up on the bed. Then spread a kind of eucalyptus oil on the body of his friend. After the oil was finally drained a while Annete realized.
"Daddy why Gel?" Still unable to believe the reality before him, Angel fell silent.
"Why didn't anyone take you to the hospital?"
"Miss's father fell in the bathroom and when we were about to take him it was your father who was gone" replied one of the men there.
"I'm sorry Net, I'm late if only I had come sooner to this house surely your father could still be saved."
When Angel came and knocked on the door there was no voice that answered but when checking the door was not locked. Angel who is used to going in and out because Johan already considers that the child took the initiative to meet Johan to wait for the return of Annete together. But when he entered the house in a quiet state until finally he found Johan lying in the bathroom.
"Uncle, Uncle why?" angel asked frantically while crouching next to Johan to help him wake up but it turned out that his strength was not strong.
"An.gel, pa..man had fallen," Johan said stammered.
"Wait for Uncle I'll call people to help uncle," said Angel about to stand up however
his hand was held back by Johan while shaking his head.
"Angel uncle nitip Annete," he said weakly. After saying that Johan breathed his last breath and closed his eyes for good. Angel who was alone in the group and immediately shouted for help. Angel thinks Johan just fainted. No matter how long the help came and the people crowded but one of the people who examined Johan said that Johan's life could not be helped.
"Dad, don't leave me, if you go, who am I? Annete has no one else in the world, the hyx...."
"Dad has promised that he will accompany Annete until Annete gets married and until I have a grandson later, why did you break the promise? hyks hyks.." His cry sounded so bitter and heartbreaking to anyone who heard it.
Moments later Angel was interrogated by the police because he was the first to find Johan's father afraid there was an element of deliberate but Annete asked the police to stop its investigation into his father's death because if indeed Angel who first discovered her father Annete believed that this was purely an accident not engineered Angel because Annete really believed in Angel. Annete refused a police request for an autopsy.
"Thank you Net you still trust me, trust me your trust will never be wasted." Angel grabbed Annete's body and hugged him. Angel is so proud to have a friend like Annete who in such circumstances can still think clearly. If his best friend wasn't Annete, he might have been accused of some sort.
"I trust you Gel anyway for what motive you would have killed my father who you also consider to be your father" Annete said, replying to Angel's embrace.
"Now you're the only person close to me" he continued.
As Annete hugs Angel with tears of sadness that still have not stopped flowing, Darla's aunt arrives. She is the older sister of Johan who goes with her husband and has rarely seen Johan because her husband does not like his wife is close to his family. He was so stingy that he was worried that if his wife went to see his brother he would give her the money. But when she heard the news that her sister had gone home, she finally immediately invited Wilson, the child to gas off from her home without prior notice to her husband. Even if he had to be punished he would because today was the last time he could look at the body of the younger brother.
"Annete what happened to your father? Why didn't you hear the pain and now it's dead."
"Dad didn't hurt Bi, Annete didn't expect father to leave so soon. Maybe he slipped to the floor of the bathroom and it took his life" Annete said, wiping away his tears.
"You're patient, son." Now Annete has switched to being in the arms of aunt Darla and Annete just nodded.
"Then we'll take care of your father's funeral." Annete nodded again.
After Annete's father's funeral was over, everything in the place went home, including Annete's friends who happened to be present, as well as Darla's aunt and her cousin Wilson.
"You are patient Net," said the ambassador cheered.
"Thank you Ambassador" Annete replied
"Then excuse me" she and Annete answered with a nod of their heads.
Now only Annete and Angel are left in Johan's tomb. Angel faithfully waited for Annete who was still sobbing in the tomb of the father.
"Net let's go home!" invite Angel because they have been in that place for a long time even Angel from earlier looks restless because his body feels achy from earlier sitting standing standing while Annete is still at home in Johan's tomb want to flinch a bit.
"I'm lazy Gel is now coming home because no father will welcome me. It's like without my father my life doesn't mean anything."
"You don't be so dong Net surely uncle Johan will feel sad and disappointed if you see you slumped like this. You have to show Uncle Johan that you are his strong and independent daughter."
"I didn't expect Gel's dad would leave me so soon, it's worth it two nights ago Dad advised me at length that he couldn't be with me anymore," said Annete while looking down at the pusara of the father.
"Uncle Johan, what's the matter?"
"Dad said that I should be able to maintain dignity as a woman, especially to maintain chastity, never take the property of others and make the story of my father and mother a lesson in living life in the future, and there are many others that I cannot tell Gel. Anyway that night Dad gave me his jokes. At that time I thought why did you get so chatty like this? Uh don't know it's his last piece of advice."
"Yet Net do not cry continuously, I will accompany you. I'll stay at your house."
"real Gel?" Annete looked at Angel in disbelief.
"Right," said Angel seriously.
"Thank you Gel you're the best friend."
Angel nodded as she reached out to Annete. "Let's go home now!"
This time Annete nodded, he got up from his seat and Angel grabbed Annete by the shoulder and took him away from the cemetery.
Seriate....
