Paper Plane
Last-minute


Silent tonight, the dim moonlight scattered the fog that enveloped the darkness of the night. The sea of stars glowed as if it were able to come to talk, after sadness there would be happiness.


Upon Rendi's return from Daisha's house, she immediately poured down her body to slightly untangle her fatigue. He looked at the ceiling of his room. His hesitation drifted down his past memories. Then, he remembered a wooden box that his son had found this afternoon. Rendi immediately got up from her sleep and picked up a wooden box that she had placed on a nightstand near her bed.


For a moment, Rendi looked at the box. Then, he opened it carefully. How surprised he was after seeing the box. A necklace with a simple but very elegant heart-shaped pendant, a necklace he gave to his late wife when proposing to her first. He was surprised when he found a letter tucked inside. A message his late wife wrote before dying after giving birth to their son. Slowly he opened the sheet.


Mas Rendi, thank you for coloring and erasing my club days. Thank you for your patience and affection all this time. I'm sorry if I haven't been a good wife to you. I leave our baby to you. Take care and care of him with love.


Mas, sorry if I have to go first. If someday you find someone who can shake your heart back, embrace and reach for it. Because if you're happy, I'll feel much happier there.


From the one who loves you,


Raline's.


The swirling sound of the wind blew away as if bringing back past memories. About a deep longing, about a heart-aligned love song. The memory of Rendi returned to the events of several years ago.


''Honey, you have to be strong. Never give up. Let's get up, go after our son. Look baby, our son is very similar to you.'' he said with a trembling tone trying to strengthen his wife who was unconscious because of pre-eclampsia after giving birth to their first son. Rendi cried bitterly by holding their son who appeared to be asleep.


''Patience, Ren. You must be strong and always pray for Raline's recovery said aunt Maya patted gently on her nephew's shoulder.


When Rendi had started to be able to act calm, suddenly Raline's fingers began to move.


''Mas.'' said Raline weakly.


''Raline, you wake up baby. Wait a minute, call the doctor first.''


''No need, mas!'' prevent Raline.


''Dear, look at our son he is very handsome.'' said Rendi feeling happy.


Raline smiled and looked at the two men of different generations.


''Mas, please bring the black bag and keep the wooden box inside. After this, the mas should immediately open the box said Raline Iirih.


''Baby, you don't have to think about the macem first. The important thing now is that you should get well soon.''


''Mas.'' said Raline.


''Mas here dear.'' said Rendi.


''Mas must promise me, that Mas Rendi will always be happy even without me.''


''Shh... You don't have to talk about it first. We will always be together, said Rendi with a feeling that began not calm.


''But I have to go, Mas.. I'm leaving our son.''


''Raline, wake up baby! Wakeup!'' yell Rendi frustrated.


Hearing the noise from inside the room, Aunt Maya immediately opened the door of Raline's nursery. Aunt Maya was surprised to see the situation in the room. Immediately Aunt Maya takes Arka from Rendi's sling, the little baby cries very loudly. It was as if he felt the sadness and pain that his parents felt.


''Doctor, please!'' aunt Maya shouts after taking over Arka into her cradle.


Quickly, the doctor and several nurses immediately checked the condition of the patient.


''Sorry, please wait outside. The doctor will check the patient. Please cooperate.'' said the nurse and immediately closed the door of the room.


''Patience, Ren. We continue to pray for Raline's safety said aunt Maya trying to calm Rendi who seemed so upset and powerless to hold back her tears.


After a while, the door of the room was opened again. Rendi quickly approached the doctor who came out from behind the door.


''How's doctor? How is my wife?'' ask Rendi frustrated.


''Sorry, Mr. Rendi, we have tried to do everything possible. But God seems to want something else. Forgive us.' said the doctor sadly.


''No! This is not true!'' yelled Rendi and broke through the door to make sure for himself the state of his wife.


''Patience, Ren. You must be sincere.'' said aunt Maya who also cried sadly.


The doctor and nurse moved away slightly and made room for Rendi to see her return.


''Raline, wake up baby! Wakeup!''


''Don't stay alone! Raline, you always say to me, "Darling, we'll live together until our hair bleaches and we'll die on the same day." But it turns out you left me first. Where's your promise Raline?''


''Awake baby! To whom should I and our child ask and how can we live? How could you leave before me?'' said Rendi pilu.


''Raline, don't you remember what you said before, how could you bring my heart to you and how could I give my heart to you? When we're relaxing together, you always say, "Darling, is there anyone else who can appreciate and love each other the way we do? Are they really like us? How could you leave before me?''


''I can't live without you. I just want to go with you. Take me with you to where you are. My feelings for you will never be forgotten in this world, and my sadness is limitless. Where should I put my heart at this moment, and how can I live together with the child who always misses you?''


''When our child grows up, who should he call mother? Who could have imagined how I felt then?'' said Rendi in her heart that was broken into pieces.


''Awake baby! Mas please.'' said Rendi with tears streaming down her face.


''You must be sincere Rendi! Relieve Raline's departure so that she is calm in nature there.'' said aunt Maya.


The atmosphere on the burial ground located on the edge of the city, now began to be deserted abandoned by the pilgrims. Just leave a few people there. On a mound of red earth studded with fresh roses, Rendi sat speechless and continued to watch fixedly.


''Please let go, go and promise me you will be happier there. With mom and dad in his paradise. Goodbye to you. I promise I will take good care of my son. Mas go first, mas will often visit you here said Rendi who walked away from his wife's navel.
