Light Warriors
Section 50 (END)

Rumi wakes up in a room in Siti Aisyah Islamic hospital, Madiun. She was near him, looking tired.  His eyes were puffy because he kept crying. It had been 3 days Rumi was unconscious, even though he was still breathing.   

"Rumi, " said Mother surprised to see her son open his eyes." Thank goodness you are conscious. " 

"Mother," Rumi's palm held her mother's palm.  Rumi tried to move her body, but felt stiff and sick.  

"Don't move, Mi!"

"Where am I, Mom? "

"You're in the hospital."  

"At the hospital? " Rumy asked.

"The bus you were riding on had an accident. You were unconscious for 3 days. Several other passengers, including the driver, died. Some others survived, including you. Be grateful, Mi, you are blessed alive. "

Suddenly he remembered his twin brother. 

"Chay......Where is Syam, Mom?  How's condition?" Rumi was panicking.  

"Syam congratulations, " said Mother. 

For a moment, Rumi was relieved.  

" Sham, however, had a violent impact on his head, resulting in bleeding."

She shed tears and cried, unable to continue her story. He tried to catch his breath and calm himself. After a little quiet, he told me.

" When evacuated, Syam was found clutching you tightly. Your head didn't hit because it was protected by his body. "

Mother could not hold back her crying anymore.  Rumi shed tears.  How incredible the sacrifice of his twin brother was.  

"Now the Sham is in the ICU room and still unconscious" Mother said. "We wish you all the best, huh, Mi? " 

Rumi nodded without being able to say a word.  

"It seems that Sham loves you more than anyone in the world. "

Rumi smiled.  The taste inside him is becoming more and more.  

Silent moment.  Suddenly a nurse called to me.  There is news of Sham.  Mom wiped her tears and went out to see the nurse for a while.  Rumi was left alone.

"God, give your best to Sham, "Rumi prayed in her heart.  

Fifteen minutes later, the sound of Mom's hysterical screams made Rumi even more panicked. Mother came back with a flushed face filled with tears.  She hugged Rumi. 

"Mom, how is Sham? " Rumi asked in panic.  

"Patiently yes, Mi, " said Mother.  " It has become God's will. " 

"Why, Mom? "Rumi asked.  

"Syam has just died, " said Mother stammering.  

"What, Mom?  Syam is dead?  " Rumi did not believe the news she heard."Really true?"

Mother nodded. Then she hugged her son back.

"Chay..... Shams..... Yesoooommmm!!!!!!!!! " 

Rumi yells. His voice broke the silence of the room, panicking the other patients.  Some nurses tried to calm Rumi down. 

"Yahoooohmmmm!!!!!!!!! " 

"Stop your heart, Mi, " said Mother. He held the head of his crying son. "Stop your heart."

Mother was crying too. Both are crying.

Mr. David, Mr. Johan, Mrs Hanizah, Ms. Norima, Azlina, and Aizad came from Malaysia to attend the funeral of Syam. Likewise with Ibu Ismunah and Mbak Ningsih.

Sham was buried next to his father's grave.  Rumi kept crying.  Hugged the tombstone of his twin brother.  

"Sham," said he. "Yeahmm...."

Mom held his shoulder. " Mi, go home yuk. "

"Leave me here, Mom," said Rumi. "I don't want to go home."

"Mi, stay strong" said Mr. David.

"Everybody who lives must have died" said Mrs Hanizah.

"However, believe me, no body of light actually dies" Azlina said.

"Only the physical body dies" Ms Norima added.

"Thank you" said Rumi. "But I still want to be here. "

"alright. Do whatever makes your heart calm" said Mr. David. They all left Rumi alone.

A battered-looking girl came to the tomb of Sham and laid a wreath over the tomb of Sham. Nadine. Syam's girlfriend.

For a moment, he looked at Rumi who was mourning the death of his brother. He held onto Rumi's shoulder, trying to calm her down.

"Sister Rumi is patient. Rumi's sister should be able to accept the fact that...."

Not yet Nadine finished her words, Rumi saw a green butterfly perched on her twin tombstone.  The butterfly he saw in the light realm as an incarnation of the light body of his twin brother.

A subtle voice flowed along with the voice of his heart.  Rumi spoke telepathically with the light body of her twin sister, as usual.

"Mi, it's me."

"Chay.... Sham... Are you that? Shams...  "

"Yes. It's me, Mi," said the light body Sham. "Even if my physical body is dead, I am still alive. Because I am a living energy. 

"Break...." .

"Mi, continue your life as a knight of light. There is no point in lamenting like this. You're trapped by an illusion." 

"Chicken...."

"Sister Rumi should be able to accept that Sibling is gone" Nadine continued her sentence.

"No," cut Rumi firmly. "Sham is alive and will live on. I can still talk to him."

Rumi rose from the tomb with more positive feelings and left Nadine alone. Nadine was surprised to see Rumi. He did not understand what Rumi had just said.

The story of life continues.

Mbak Ningsih holding Ibu Ismunah to see a place he just bought. It is located in Ngawi City. The location is quite strategic. Next to the mosque. So, safe from the interference of evil astral beings.

"What do you think, Mom?  " ask Ma'am Ningsih.  "It's not good if we sell food in this place?  "

Ismunah's mother smiled with satisfaction.  "Certainly suitable, Ningsih. How smart are you to choose a place? " 

"Hehehe, thank God that you feel good" said Mbak Ningsih. "From tomorrow, we start selling, Mom."

"Yes Ningsih, " said Ismunah's mother.  " Don't forget Rumi was told that we started opening. " 

"Beres, Ma'am," said Mbak Ningsih. "Let me tell him."

At Juanda International Airport, Rumi said goodbye to her mother.  The two embrace each other.

Is it okay to live alone? " ask Rumi.

Go, Mi," replied Mother. " Mom can live alone. Most importantly, you must continue your studies in Malaysia until you finish with the best grades. Never waste a chance. Be the proud child of your mother. Be the pride of our nation and country in the future." 

"Take care of yourself, Mom."

"Yes, son."

That afternoon, Rumi flew to Kuala Lumpur along with a light knight troupe from Malaysia.  Once at KLIA 2 airport, they want to buy ERL tickets. 

Spontaneously, Rumi saw the green butterfly perched on his shoulders and flapped its wings.  Rumi was shocked, as well as deeply moved. He shed tears.

"You followed me all the way here" Rumi said inwardly. "Shyam, thank you so much." 

"Mi, I'll always be with you. Even if I don't exist human anymore. Even if we are different in nature. Feel my essence.

Feel my presence. I never die. I am a speck of energy that merges with eternity.I am not created, nor can I be destroyed.

This is my essence.The essence of you too.The self-existence of all beings in this universe.I have always existed. Don't grieve.

We never separated. It will never. We are one. All the farewells you see are illusions. But feel it with full awareness.

Close your eyes. Feel my essence. Feel my presence. Look at those green butterflies. Don't look with your head. Look at it with a taste in your heart. It will be a sign of my presence."

Rumi closed her eyes. He took a deep breath and breathed it out.

"One more time, thank you, Sham."

Two years later....

The green butterfly continued to stare with a sharp and mysterious gaze.  He did not move from Rumi's diary, as if he read all Rumi's writings. 

Meanwhile, Rumi fell asleep at her study table due to exhaustion. Her diary just opened.  He was also unaware when his pen rolled and fell off the table.

The green butterflies kept perched on top of the open diary. There were scratches of ink Rumi had just written:

" O my Twin Light...

You remember not, when we were together living this life story?

In this school of giants called earth

Often we feel joy, sorrow, pain, and anger together...

We often fight, laugh, and cry together...

When we don't understand each other, we often clash...

But all these stories of life teach us to love one another more deeply...

Up to the light level....

The highest level ....

Every time I meet you in the dreamland

I felt the clock move faster than usual...

And when I opened my eyes, I woke up from my sleep...

I feel a deep peace ...

My story on this earth feels more beautiful

When I realized...

 Your essence is with me at all times..

I feel your essence in my little universe...

When your essence is present in my life

I felt the universe bless me without limits...

The vibration of our love radiates throughout the earth and the entire Universe...

I feel this pure love as an immeasurable gift...

I feel it every time we meet in dreamland..

A world where there are no boundaries between you and me...

I don't even look at you as a man or a woman in nature...

Nor do I look upon you as a human, an animal, or a plant...

It is only the essence of you and me that I feel..

I embrace your essence without any burden...

I smell your essence without shame or guilt...

Even if you have now left your physical body...

With this awareness, I never felt alone...

I am always happy...

Although I no longer see your human form...

Without this awareness, everything is meaningless..

There is your essence in my little Universe..

There is your essence in my heart ...

Because I am you...

You are me...

Tat Twam Asi ....

No matter what you are, I will love you unconditionally...

My heart is always connected to yours...

Flowing with eternity...

Forever ..."
