MY SWEETIE BOYFRIEND'S
FOREVER

Dila lay helplessly on top of the patient's cage. Dion sat down in the chair beside him while teaching. Under these circumstances, Dion hoped Dila would find a miracle.

Dion seka Dila's eyes that let out dirt with tissue. The eyes can no longer lift. Dila. Wet Tissu made his eyes sting.

"You woke up apparently" said Dion by wiping Dila's eyes with dry tissue.

ICU room door open. Doctors and nurses came to check on Dila. At least Dion did not want to ask his wife's situation; for the doctor would say a hopeful word, but Dila's true state could no longer be saved.

"Patience, sir," said Dr. Andre.

Dion nodded, "Thank you."

The doctor and nurse left after doing their job. Dion looked at the frail woman who was still beautiful despite her apprehensive condition. Dila's hair was cut short. Despite the fall, Dion did not want his wife's hair cut out.

Again the door of the room opened. This time their daughter Delilah came in. The girl did go to the hospital, but waited outside with the others.

"Father!" yells.

"Come here" said Dion.

Delilah hugged her father tightly. Her eyes had been swollen from crying ever since Dila was brought back to the hospital.

"Mama, Pa," he said.

"Mama's gonna be fine. Don't grieve. Pray for your mom's best."

Although it was just a word as an entertainer, in fact Dion's heart was more unable to accept it. He is strong on the outside, but he is very fragile.

Soon Reyhan and Anna entered the room. They were also sad, but Rey did not shed any tears. He didn't want Dion to feel like everything was gone. His friend did not shed tears, so why did he cry too? Although Rey knows that Dion is very fragile.

"Di-on," Dila's voice sounded.

Dion took off Delilah's embrace, then approached his wife. He put his ear to the lips of his wife so that he could hear what Dila said.

"I'm sorry, honey. Take care of our children. Guide me now," Dila said in a faint voice.

Dion nodded. He cut his lips and then clasped his wife's hand. Reyhan, Anna, Delilah were on his left and right side.

Dion led Dila to utter lafaz tahlil. Many times he led Dila to utter the lafaz until the last breath that indicated Dila was gone forever.

Delilah and Anna broke. They both hugged Dila. Dion's hand was released. He kissed his wife for the last time. Reyhan also ended up crying, then immediately called the doctor.

The doctor came to confirm Dila's condition. Dila's condition was declared dead. The infusion and oxygen hose were removed from his hands, and his nose.

Dion was transfixed as the nun covered the lifeless body of his wife. Anna, Delillah cried together. Reyhan went to take care of the return of his parents' bodies.

"Why? Why did you leave first? Why not go with me? We promise to be together forever" Dion said.

Anna was shocked to hear it. Soon he approached Dion. "Pa, Papa is patient. My mom is calm in nature. His illness is healed. We pray that mama will be quiet in heaven."

"Then me? How's my? He took my heart" said Dion.

"Father, please let me go" said Anna.

Dion's out of the ICU. Anna chased him out. Reyhan, who passed Dion, held the man's arm.

"Where are you going?" said Rey.

"Let go!" dion said by pushing Reyhan.

"Father!" exclaim Anna.

"Already, Ann. Maybe you need some alone time" Reyhan said.

"I'm worried."

"We take care of Mama first" said Reyhan.

...****************...

Each gave a condolence, but Dion still did not reveal his nose. Reyhan told his men to look for the whereabouts of his stepfather.

"Where is Dion? Why hasn't he come back yet?" Reyhan is already restless because this afternoon Dila will also be buried.

"Maybe in a moment" said Diki.

"Dik, find Dion. I'm very worried" Reyhan said.

Diki nodded, "Alright. I'll go look for him."

"Reyhan, if Dion isn't present, we'll just bury Dila" Bastian suggested.

"Yes, Om. It's better that way. The clock has shown the time, too" Reyhan said.

...****************...

"Yahoo!" yelled Dion on the beach.

Visitors who were also on the beach were astonished to hear the sound of Dion's cry. The man was sitting by the beach. Scream as loud as possible.

"Why did fate take you first? Why didn't he call me with you?" dion said with a soft word.

Tears stained his cheeks. His heart ached with thousands of needles. His reasoning refused if Dila was completely absent even though Dion knew it would happen as long as the man took care of his sick wife.

Dila's departure was unacceptable. It's too painful for him. He wants the universe to take his life this very second. The universe let its soul live, but uprooted its body.

The flowers are dead.

The bright day was pitch dark.

The smile I could not see.

The shining eyes were closed forever.

The body I used to embrace had vanished from my arms.

The universe had sadistically taken it from a loving soul.

...****************...

The funeral had taken place in the absence of Dion's figure. Family, friends, friends also take the departure of the deceased with sorrow. Friends remember his nature during life.

One by one the mourners who had come, had gone home. Reyhan and his family also returned home after sowing flowers, and prayed for the deceased.

"Where is papa? I was worried about him, " said Delilah.

"Already, Delilah. Papa will come here later" Reyhan replied.

"May you be calm there" said Delilah.

"Aminn," said everyone.

A man whose soul was wounded came. The man stumbled to step towards the tomb whose flowers were still fragrant. Dion was present after everything was gone. In front of his wife's grave. With tears he grasped the ground that was hoarding his wife. He hugs and kisses a gravestone that says the name of the woman he loves.

"Darling, my life is full of darkness. My mental light has sunk for ever. Lookatme. In fact, this leg can no longer walk. I crawled because no one else was leading me. Why are you leaving so soon? Don't you feel sorry for me?"

Dion was crying. If anyone sees or hears his moans, surely the person will be sad. He really loved his wife until the death of his wife caused her to fall so deeply.

I saw my best friend from a distance. It was unexpected that he found Dion who was already in the tomb. Diki did not want to disturb, just paying attention.

"I hope you can accept it with sincerity, Dion," said Diki who was also sad.

Seriate.
