"Fa Subhaanal lazii biyadihii malakuutu kulli shaiinwwa ilaihi turja'uun.... Sadaqallahul adzziy..."
The chants of the holy Quran sounded echoing filled the nursery where Mega lay. Cahya closed the Quran he had just finished reading and he put it on the nightstand. The woman looked back at the condition of Mega who was in front of her.
Cahya's tears never stop flowing, when he saw a lump of body that will invite his death. Mega's breath still sting as if so hard to breathe.
The face that used to look so dazzling that it made the husband captivated, now changed one hundred and eighty degrees. Now all that seems is a face that is ugly that anyone will definitely not recognize that this woman is Mega.
The body that used to be often bent to lure the opposite sex, now can only be stretched out on a hospital bed. Even to shift a little, it was very difficult.
"M-Mbak Cah-yeah .... M-I'm sorry. I-I've had a lot of m-for-nothing k-your-mistakes."
In the remnants of the breath he still had, Mega tried to apologize directly to Cahya. Although stammered, but Cahya understood very well what was said by Mega.
Cahya reviewed a little of her smile. Now there is no more hatred lodged in the heart to the figure who was once a thorn in this marriage. There is only a feeling of relief, and roomy to forgive everything Mega has ever done.
Cahya's hand stretched out to be able to reach Mega's palm. Apparently, a woman who used to always show her power to snatch the husband, can lie weak who can only move her eyes and lips like this.
"Meg, I've forgiven you. Now, if you still want to survive to heal, then hold on as hard as you can to heal. But if you are not able, then return to the bosom of Allah in peace. I have forgiven you and may Allah forgive you all your sins."
Mega linked her gaze towards Cahya. The woman nodded her head while smiling faintly. Again, the woman's breath went back to snorting but at this moment it sounded much more difficult than before.
Cahya put her lips to the side of Mega's ear. He whispered something there.
"God .... Allahs .... Allah..," said Cahya, leading the woman who was facing her death.
"A.... Allah..," said Mega accompanied by two wide-eyed balls. For a second, the woman's breath stopped and was accompanied by a loud noise from the attached ECG.
"Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi.."
Lastri was stunned to hear that loud noise. He looked at the monitor on the side of the Mega bed and there was only a straight line attached. Her tears flowed back down her face.
"Yahoooooo!!!!!"
Lastri hugged Mega's body while shaking her body. The woman still hopes that the child can still breathe to continue his life.
"Bagun Nak, wake up! Don't be like this. Let's wake up, boy!" lastri said with a trembling voice. The middle-aged woman still looks not sincere with the death of the child.
Cahya got up from her sitting position. He wiped the tears that also flowed from the frame of the netra. He slightly bent down and rubbed slowly on Lastri's shoulder. As a mother, she certainly can also feel how the current state of Lastri's heart is.
"Patiently, Mom. InshaAllah Mega has calmed down there and is not in pain anymore. May he have a good place by God's side."
"But Mega's mistake is so big, son. I was worried that there would be no forgiveness from God for my son" Lastri said sobbing.
"Mom, Allah is Oft-Forgiving and Most-repentant. We never know, perhaps in the past Mega wept in her solitude, realized all her faults and begged God for forgiveness. God will forgive him."
"Yes Allah ..... Forgive my son's sins..."
"We also never know what good things Mega has done that might help her from the torture of the grave, Mom. So, right now my sincere mother. Release Mega to return to her lap."
Lastri forced herself to stop her crying. He wiped his tears and leaned his body towards Cahya. Without saying much, the woman tightly hugged Cahya's body.
"I've forgiven Mega, Mom. Now, we're focusing on Mega's funeral. For all funeral expenses, let me be my dependant. And for the entire hospital fee, let me finish."
"MashaAllah Ma'am .... What is your heart made of? Though Mega has ruined your life as well as your children's lives, but why do you still want to help Mega?"
Cahya smiled knot. Back he rubbed the back of this middle-aged woman.
"Everything that happens in human life must be the best lifeline that God has chosen. To this day, I believe in it, Mom. Alhamdulilah, on the path of destruction that has actually brought me to meet the figure of a man who is much more everything than the cloud. That's what I'm grateful for so far, ma'am."
"MashaAllah .... You are indeed a good woman Ma'am and you deserve a much better man than Clouds."
****
Lastri was sitting limp next to a burial mound that still looked wet. Cardi, Rustam, Fatimah, Cahya, Sky, Angkasa, Mentari are also seen standing around the mound. While the neighbors who joined the funeral Mega, one by one began to go home. Remembering the canvas of the sky decorated by the dominating overcast.
Moments ago, Mega's body was buried. And at this time only seen a sprinkling of flowers on the ground with a wooden board that became a sign of the ownership of the tomb. A cycle of life that must be passed by man before he lives in eternal life is life in the afterlife. The world is indeed a temporary place of rest where man gathers provisions for eternal life.
"Mom, let's go home. It's gonna rain soon."
Kardi followed to where the wife was. He squatted a little beside Lastri and held tightly onto his wife's shoulder.
"Mother still wants to be here sir, pity Mega alone in this place!" said Lastri still with sobs. The woman endlessly kissed the wooden board that read the name of the child.
"Bu. If Mother continues like this can weigh on our child's path. Come on, ma'am."
"But Sir...."
Not wanting to argue too long anymore, Kardi slightly forced Lastri to stand up. He holds the body of the wife to regroup with the people who are still here.
"Sir Heaven and all, once again I thank you very much for all the help that has been given to us. We really can not reply other than just with prayer that the family of Mr. Sky and Mbak Cahya always given the blessing."
"Aamiin, aamiin, yes rabbal alamiin."
"In that case, let's stop by first at our residence sir, Ma'am.."
"I'm sorry sir, we don't seem to be able to stop by. There are other needs that we have to solve," subtly reject the Sky. "Then we all beg to say goodbye, sir, ma'am..."
"Alright then Mr. Sky, we cannot force. Thank you very much for all the help you have been given. May the journey of Mr. Sky and family be smooth and safe until the destination."
"Aami... Aamiin..."
In the end everyone who was still in the cemetery started to leave this place. They walked past several tombstones to be able to arrive at the gate. For a moment, Cahya stopped her footsteps. He turned his body to see Mega's tomb from a distance.
Life in the world is nothing but a deceptive pleasure. All who live will surely die according to his death by His permission, destiny and decree. Whoever is destined to die will die without cause, and whoever is wanted to live will live.
