Nugi cries in front of Camelia's navel, the figure of her son, whom she has never hugged for real, can only know through the video sent by Hanin, and limited to Video call connections.


"I'm sorry Papah, I'm sorry Papah. "

"Bang, we're the same - the same lose. We too, will be equally missed, you know Camelia when you see Video Brother, she always smiles. Our farewell, ended with Camelia's departure. Like a bang sign, like a, we broke up yeah broke up already."


Nugi wakes up from his squat, then looks at his ex-wife, Hanin gazes towards the navel, which is still attached to the smell of fragrant flowers. Because, Hanin every day always comes to replace her flowers.


"Our trials are heavy Bang, our households are destroyed, because of you. Our son is gone, maybe a lesson for us. Maybe it's a punishment for us, me and my brother. "


"Hanin, what after we no longer have children, can we still be brothers? "


"Yes Bang, how have we ever been married, had children. We are all the same, praying for Camelia. "


"Yes." Yeah."

"Bang, the struggle is not your brother, from repairing the car. From here, you look trying. "


"Abang can't, continue your father's orders. "


"Bang, at least the brother tried. I will understand and will appreciate your efforts. "

"I promise, I'll take care of her. Honest Yogi, my heart, regrets not being able to meet directly with my own flesh and blood, first met instead, her navel. I sometimes think I'm wrong with my own children, not just with Hanin. "


"Camelia, wouldn't hate her Papah. He knew that his papah loved him. "


"I thank you, as long as I'm not around, you've taken care of Camelia even if not directly. You already want to, accept Camelia as her prospective child. Although not there, but I am very grateful. "

"Yes, you met Yogi yesterday. All of you... " Nugi stopped as he was about to continue his words.


"We don't know when we'll meet again. But, brother asked later, if one day we meet with different circumstances please do not not greet each other. Our son is gone, please do not break the relationship of silahturahmi. "


"Bang, we close our problem. We open a new page, it doesn't mean we forget our children. But, hiks.hiks..hiks we keep in our hearts, Camelia is always with us Bang but here, in the heart. " Said Hanin while shedding tears.


"Abang also felt Hanin, can you ask for a piece of memory - the memory belongs. Camellias? "


"Bang, this is Camelia's blanket. Her smell was still the smell of the telon oil she used to wear. I haven't washed it yet, because I always miss him. While sleeping, I hug this blanket. Brother take it, make the cure miss. In addition to the video I sent. "

Hanin stuffed Camelia's clothes into a suitcase. So are toys, belonging to Camelia's relics. Only pillows and bolsters remained, which remained on the bed.


Hanin groped her, and kissed her. A tear fell on the pillow. Hanin smiled, by putting it next to her sleeping pillow.


"Mamah sure, every night you come, and accompany mamah sleep. Mamah sure, in his deep sleep Mamah, you are always awake accompanying Mamah. Honey, your love, Papah's love will always be there for you. Until the time comes, we will gather there again. Wait, dear Mama, wait, dear Papah. In the same Mamah world Papah is separated, but until anytime, we are still intact parents for you. Paradise for you baby, the most beautiful place for you there. Play, smile with the angels of heaven. "


Hanin flushed down her body, with both eyes closed, both her hands hugging Camelia's petite bolster.

"Son, Papah pamit. Papah wants to come back, find fortune. Forgive Papah yes son, Papah is always far away from you. But the prayer of papah, will not stop. In between times, Papah will always send prayers to you. "
