My Beautiful Teacher
John's Cemetery
After deciding to bring the body home, Rafael then asked Bimbim to go home first.
"Abang should go home first, let Rafa take care of the return of the body bang Yo," said Rafael.
"Seriously, don't you take care of administration alone?" ask Bimbim, make sure.
"No pa-pa, Bang. After all, Brother is more needed at the headquarters. In order to keep an eye on the children and welcome the arrival of the bodies" replied Rafael.
"Yes, I've returned first. You take good care of yourself, let me know if you've been out of the hospital," concluded Bimbim while patting Rafael's shoulder.
Rafael nodded. Shortly after Bimbim left, Rafael went to the administration room to complete the procedure for retrieving the body.
Raphael did not want John to grieve over the long funeral procession. As a final tribute to the friend, Raphael will give John a proper funeral. Funeral in accordance with the Islamic Shari'a.

Asyifa arrived at Rafael's house. After being welcomed in, he waited for Rafael's parents in the living room. Asyifa circulated her gaze, looking through the spacious living room. A variety of luxurious and expensive furniture, filled this room. Beautiful paintings are also displayed on the wall, side by side with photos of the Rafael family.
Asyifa glanced at her watch, it had been almost half an hour she waited. However, Rafael's parents are still not seen.
My God, why are Rafael's parents so cute? Did he ever care about Rafael?
Tired of waiting, Ashifa stood up. He also approached various family photos attached to the wall. Both corners of his lips lifted when he saw little Rafael was in his mother's lap.
"Ehm-uhm!"
The silence of the male voice, made Asyifa turn her head. Immediately he approached the middle-aged couple who had just entered the living room.
"Good day, Om, Auntie. Introduce my name Asyifa, schoolmate of Rafael," said Asyifa as she reached out.
However, the dipper is not welcome. Adinata and Rahayu sat down without letting their guests sit down.
Asyifa. Cook yes, I have to stand still. Ih, you little couple's point is unclear! gerundelnya in the heart.
"What do you need to do with our house?" ask Rahayu.
Without asking for permission, Ashifa then sat on the sofa facing the host. "I want to tell Om and Aunt, if a few days ago, I saw Rafael around the city park" he said.
Rahayu looks surprised, but not with Adinata. The middle-aged man's expression did not change at all. Flat!
"Perhaps, this information can make it easier for Om and Aunt in searching for Rafael. I heard, it has been one week more Rafael did not go home," continued Asyifa.
Either Asyifa mispronounced or what, but clearly, his words made Adinata move from the top of the sofa.
"Go home or not, it's all her business! Whatever!" firmly Adinata while passing away.
"Thank you for the information. You better go home now. Rafael's business, let us take care of it," said Rahayu, clarifying her husband's words.
In the next second, the middle-aged woman who still looked fresh, left Ashifa who was still sitting dumbly in the living room.

Finished with the affairs of the hospital administration, Rafael immediately asked for an ambulance to deliver the body to the funeral home. In the car, Rafael just stared at the body that had been stretched stiff. He had not expected, the age of his friendship with John would be this short. I don't know what God was planning for her, so she had to meet John on her life's journey.
Half an hour later, the corpse arrived at the Dark Eagle headquarters. The Dark Eagle members lined up neatly to greet the chairman. They want to pay their last respects to the chairman who for three years, protects and shelters the lives of street children and the surrounding community in this slum.
After the carrot was dropped from the ambulance. John's body was moved onto a mat lying in the front room of the Dark Eagle headquarters.
Raphael met the cleric who was already sitting on the front porch. He then asked the cleric to clean up all the dirt inherent in John. Be it dirt outwardly, and kotoron spiritually.
"All right, I get it, Mas Rafa. Right now, I will invite people to bathe the bodies. Incidentally, Mr. RT had also provided his place" said Ustadz Kamal.
Rafael nodded. He then said goodbye to clean his body. His clothes were dirty with dust and blood. Raphael did not want what was attached to his body to be the reason for John's death.
After all the rites of retrieving the bodies were completed, and the burrows were made available, Rafael and Bimbim agreed to hold John's funeral. According to Islamic teachings, the sooner the body is buried, the better.
John's final resting place, not far from Dark Eagle's headquarters. It was only about 100 meters behind the headquarters. Therefore, it does not take long to go to the cemetery.
John's funeral was conducted in accordance with Islamic law. All mourners, so solemnly chant thayyibah sentences to deliver the body to his eternal home. The funeral was so solemn that after an hour, mourners dispersed because the funeral was over.
All of the Dark Eagle members still appeared to be standing around the grave. He had not expected that he would lose his leader so soon.
🔥🔥🔥
Time keeps passing. For almost a week, the leadership of the Dark Eagle motorcycle gang, went into a vacuum. Raphael still could not accept the fact that John was gone. However, when from behind the bedroom window he could see the mound of dirt that was still wet, Rafael only realized if John, would not be able to return again.
"How about this, Bang. We have not been operating for a week. What about the fate of the children in the future? They can go hungry" said one of the boys in a motorcycle gang named Nicholas.
"Gue knows, Nik. Before John died, he left us to Raphael. Perhaps according to John, Raphael deserved to take his place. What do you think?" bimbim asked one of the Dark Eagle members.
"Tell me personally, anyway .. I have no problem being led by anyone. Whether it's Brother or Rafael, as long as it brings progress to our gang, we'll surely accept it, Bang," Bendi replied.
"Yes, Bang. We all agree, Rafael is the leader. After all, he was very loyal to the children. His physical strength was also no less great than bang Yo. I think, under Rafael's leadership, this gang can be stronger and spread even further. If necessary, we expand to the villages," said the other motorcycle gang members.
"Yes, Bang. We're ready to be led by Rafa's bang."
"Yes, Bang."
"Yes already. After Rafael comes home, I'll talk to him. Hopefully, he is willing to continue the leadership of the late John in our common interest" concluded Bimbim.
