One Night With Your Wife
Perpetual Farewell

Meanwhile Nayara was surprised to find Zavian standing near the frame of the stairs. It seemed like he had been standing there since then and seemed to be waiting. 

“ Zia already sleeping?” ask Zavian. 

“ Already.” Nayara nodded slowly.” I spoke to Fabian,”, Nayara said honestly. 

“ I know, so wait for you here,” said Zavian gently.” Have you forgiven him?”

Nayara nodded and found a proud look from her husband. At the moment their past with Fabian is done and it is certain there is nothing left. 

Zavian invites Nayara to walk to the back of the pole where both are hidden by birthday decorations. There, Zavian protects Nayara with her tall body so that no one can see her. Then they hugged and kissed with a feeling that was getting closer together. 

Both are grateful for all the opportunities God has given them. They are grateful for a heart that always receives everything freely. 

Only one they forgot, that from the top floor Fabian could watch everything. 

The man stared bitterly at the affection of Zavian and Nayara, then realized his solitude. Just like them, Fabian had also forgiven both of them. He sincerely saw Nayara, the woman he loved until now happy with his sister. 

Fabian wiped the wet corners of his eyes. Then he looked back towards Nayara and Zavian who were now sitting on Zean's side. Iron Man's costume has been released and now Zean chose to lean on his father. He seemed to be getting tired after draining his energy from earlier by having fun. Meanwhile Mama Widya sits by Nayara's side and the two laugh at something. 

“ Happy birthday, Zeano. May you grow up inheriting all your good qualities. May your life be filled with love. And you, Zavian. I pray that happiness always accompanies every step of all of you,” Fabian said. 

In the evening, Zean seemed enthusiastic to open the gifts he received. And Fabian's gift most caught his eye. Only a limited edition Iron Man action figure was purchased exclusively from the official Marvel store . But Zean liked it a lot. 

“ Thank you, Om,” exclaimed the little boy with his wide smile.” I want to be Iron Man.”

“ Iron Man is smart, kind, loyal, loving and certainly rich. You can definitely be that great a man, Ze. Your dad will help you realize your great dreams,” Fabian said. 

Then Fabian also gave a gift box to Zianna. Still an action figure but from one of the Disney princess characters, Mulan. Fabian should have chosen a sweet and feminine Elsa or Aurora, but somehow she made a choice to a strong and brave princess like Mulan. 

“ I'm not sure I can attend Zia's first birthday, so I'll leave this for her. Either he will like this or not, but you have to say that I love him too,” Fabian said. 

“ Thanks,” said Zavian with sudden feeling of pain.” Zia will definitely like this.” 

Not only that, Fabian also gave his money and possessions to his two nephews with an equal amount of money. No one can resist or challenge his decision. 

In the days that followed, Fabian's condition worsened and he refused to be taken to the hospital. She just wants to be accompanied by Mama Widya and Zavian. Suddenly he became so spoiled and always frightened if left alone. 

“ I often dream of meeting with Papa,” Fabian said. 

Almost every day he says the same thing. And lately Fabian also often feel cold even though the weather is hot. 

“ Hug ,Ma,” said Fabian with an eye highlight begging.” It's cold because.” 

Mama Widya got on the bed and hugged her son from the left side. Fabian's once stout and dashing body now feels small and very thin. His body was giving off a strange coldness. But Mama Widya continued to hold her son tightly.

“ Very happy it feels hugged like this,” said Fabian. 

“ Mama will hug you often,” said Mama Widya. 

“ I will also be more often to swerve lo,” said Zavian. 

“ But I also want to be hugged by Papa. When the hell, the last time Papa hugged me ? Kindergarten time what is first class SD time, huh ? Forgot ...” muttered Fabian. 

Mama Widya and Zavian did not say, they were silent. 

“ I'm leaving soon. I think someone called it,” said Fabian. He patted the hands of Zavian who was now embracing him.” Lo take care of Mama ya.”

“ You're not going anywhere , Bian. You stay here with Mama and Zavian,” said Mama Widya with a sudden feeling of sadness. 

“ Lo like again sleepy, so digress that,” said Zavian. The cold between them made Zavian feel bad. 

“ I slept, yes. Bye...” whispered Fabian. 

They were silent again and Fabian was getting cold. Mama Widya added the blanket and hugged her son again. Then not long after Fabian breathed like snoring, a momentary seizure, then his body weakened. Completely weak, like something that had been lost left him. 

Realizing that, Zavian and Mama Widya cried while continuing to hug Fabian tightly. Their tears fell in silence . The hug still lasted a long time, until finally Zavian woke up first and looked at the pale face of Fabian who now looks so calm. No more pain or sadness there. 

Fabian died in the arms of his mother and sister. He left after gripping the apologies of the two closest people he hurt the most. 

“ Deep sleep, Mas,” whispered Zavian.” Nothing , Mama let me take care .” 

There was a celebration and laughter of happiness, and now sadness is coming back to take over. The cloudy sky and rain fell as if to complete the sadness felt by the Rayyansyah family today. 

“ Stoic mom, yes,” whispered Nayara while hugging her in-laws. 

“ All this time Mama has always been next to Fabian at all times. Mama accompanied him every time he dropped and had to be hospitalized. Mama knows what her difficulties are like in surviving. So, now Mama must be sincere about her disappearance, but why it hurts so much.” said Mama Widya with a soft look. 

Zavian hugged his mother and strengthened her. Nothing will be okay when faced with an eternal farewell called death. As with any trace of Fabian's previous life, he was still a son to a mother and a brother to his sister. 

The three of them cried, then agreed to wipe away the tears before meeting the mourners .
