"You're healthy, nduk? I'm so happy to see you here again, if this rascal doesn't have much behavior!" bu Lastri hugged Sekar tightly.

The clouds behind Sekar were irritated to be called that.

"Come here with mom, mommy wants to talk to you," Miss Lastri let go of her embrace and took Sekar into her house.

"Ah always mother like that if I meet Sekar, I'm always in tersirkan!" grouse Clouds.

"Mother was really happy to see you in this house, when I found out that rascal had another woman whose heart she was so upset with," cerocos mother stirred while pointing at the Clouds who sat opposite the mother and Sekar.

"Mom, please don't reveal it again, Clouds are already aware that the Clouds are wrong." The clouds heard how many thousand times the mother said the same thing after breaking up from Sekar.

I just kept quiet to hear the mother and child talk.

"So when are you getting married?" Mother's question was a surprise to Clouds and Secrets. Clouds and Sekar who accidentally met the face was only able to stay and look down.

"Well, just be quiet? do you guys still want to date until you become grandparents?" Miss Lastri looks emotional.

"Sorry mom, Sekar and Awan are just friends. The intention of Sekar's arrival here was also to take the belongings of the deceased," Sekar finally decided to be frank about the state of their relationship. The clouds were only able to bow, he knew that his mother was very disappointed to know the truth.

"The deceased?" mother looks shocked and confused about the word Sekar. Mother stared intimidatedly at the Clouds.

"Sorry mom, Awan hasn't had time to tell me." Clouds looks guilty but at first he thinks that there will be no problem except his heart alone should resist jealousy.

"Tell me now!"

"As long as mom comes home to mbah Uty, I'm taking my friend to stay with me mom,"

"Then?" miss Lastri seemed impatient waiting for her son to speak.

"Prophe mom. Let me keep my story going, mom don't cut it." Pinta Cloud.

"My name is Cloud, just call it Cloud. Where did Mas Hima come from and why only looking for a cost only a week?"

"I am from Palembang mas, when I was young I used to live in this area. Ten years ago I promised the woman I love so much to come back, but I couldn't come.

Ten years I've endured this endless longing, I want to meet and apologize to her just that." The pale-faced Hima spoke with a distant look.

"What does that woman mean to live in this village?" Hima shakes.

"No, he's a neighbor of this village."

"Is she still waiting for Hima?"

"What I heard is that she's still not married until now mas." Hima looked at the Clouds with a forced smile.

"That means he's watching old donk mas, sorry," The cloud scratched his non-itchy head.

Jem!

Cloud's heart seemed to stop hearing Hima mention the name of her former lover.

The tall man in front of him looked handsome despite his age.

"Wan, why are you? do you know Sekar?"

"Ti ti ti not ah i i yes mas," The cloud that was asked like that became a crime.

"Seriously Wan?" Hima's face was seen sumringah heard the answer of the Awan who knew Sekar.

The clouds replied with a nod of their head.

"Do you know how my news is now Wan?" Hima was so enthusiastic.

"What if Mas Hima just stayed at my house? I'll answer all the questions from Hima." The clouds offer a ride in her house.

"Aren't you afraid I'm bothering Wan?" Hima was doubtful.

"No, just relax. Coincidentally my mother is also on the island of Java mas, so I'm the only one at home but when it comes to eating I don't take responsibility mas." Cengngesan cloud.

"Originally you don't feel bothered I want to," Hima smiled.

Flashback off

"Did Hima die in Wan's house?" ask Miss Lastri.

"No ma'am, Hima's dead on his face, Mr. Kades." Now he answers. Miss Lastri looked confused.

Sekar tells how Hima arrived at the hajat pak kades event and the chronology of Hima's death, with tears Sekar tells all that happened.

The cloud that saw how the current state of Sekar felt his heart hurt, between sad because he saw the woman who was still in love tear and there is jealousy because it turns out Sekar still loves the deceased.

Bu Lastri who knows how the sense of abandonment of loved ones immediately embraced the young woman beside him.

"Prophey yes nduk, mother can feel what you feel now you must be sincerely deceased." Miss Lastri also shed her tears.

***

"Bu Sekar pamit yes, sorry if as long as the deceased here is troublesome mother and also you Wan, thank you also for accepting and even giving a ride to Mas Hima.

Thank you for being a friend to the deceased," Sekar again shed his tears.

"You're lucky to have someone so sincerely love you Kar, love you until the end of his life. Honestly I'm jealous to see you crying over him but when I think again you deserve to feel lost because he is indeed a man who is so sincere in love with you. He deserves to be waited on, from the smile of the deceased I am very sure he is happy to have realized all his dreams on his last day." Cloud's eyes glared far away he remembered very well what the deceased had told him before two days of his death.

"Here you go, don't cry, your first love is happy there, now your heart is in. I'm sure the deceased wants to see you happy too." Mom rubbed Sekar's back that came back sobbing.

"Everytime I remember the deceased, I always feel guilty ma'am. I have accused of being unfaithful and forgetting me but in reality I am the one who is unfaithful by accepting the love of others. Mas Hima I'm sorry...." Sekar's cry broke again in the arms of Lastri's mother.

"Here you go, what you regret is also not your fault so you are not wrong. Now live your day and continue all your dream dreams. Remember the deceased wants to see you happy at the end of his life." Sekar again tightened his embrace on Lastri's mom, if you are like Lastri's mom, said Sekar.

"You're also Wan, you're lucky to know the deceased you have to learn about how he loved and kept his loyalty instead of being the real bastard he is today." Bu Lastri still brought up the mistake of his son and Awan was aware of it so he did not dare to protest even though he was embarrassed by the nickname.
