A sense of emptiness is happening, the emptiness of the heart has been felt by Elsa in the space of seven days. Half of his heart was taken away by Ivan. It was truly sad that it still enveloped his fragile soul.
The sun is still in the eastern horizon, but Elsa has arrived at the TPU which is not far from Mr. Hamid's house. He sat next to a mound of dirt that was still wet with a gravestone that read 'Ivan Ardiansyah'.
Prayers are heard there. Elsa is accompanied by Bu Kana and also Mr. Hamid, Rafa was not left behind. This one toddler had cried because he did not see his father again. Every afternoon he sits on the porch and asks 'When did Dad come home?'.
Elsa closes a book of prayers. Now she looked at her husband. Her tears slowly fell down her cheeks without the makeup polish.
"Mas .. I miss you. Are you happy there, Mom? Do you miss me too, Mom? look, our son does not even know where you are, I cannot help but say that if you have returned to the creator" muttered Elsa in her heart, her tears still dripping unceasingly.
"Mas ..till any time I won't marry anyone. I'm only yours, I'll be your wife until I catch up with you. I'm sorry I couldn't keep up with your last request, I really couldn't." Elsa lowered her head.
"If this is the best course for you, I will learn to accept this harsh reality. God granted my prayers when we were in college. Yes, God does not give you a soul mate other than me, God prefers to take you from me than you should have other women. Should I thank you for what's happening right now?" Elsa's tears began to fall rapidly when she remembered her past with Ivan who was filled with flowers of romance.
The pieces of past memories that were still stored in him, now evaporated already. Not a bit Elsa forgot her struggle so far with Ivan to arrive at the essence of the real love. He had to accept the fact that Ivan was happy with God.
"Son, let's go home!" Bu Nurul patted Elsa on the shoulder as the sun rose.
"Mama ... This is what Ma?" Rafa asked who was pointing at Ivan's tombstone.
Elsa grabs Rafa's small body. He took Rafa and grabbed Ivan's tiny little body.
"This is where Dad is, son. Rafa has to come here a lot, son. I'd be happy if Rafa came here." Lirih Elsa in Rafa's ear.
"Dad in here Ma?" Rafa asked while looking at Elsa.
"Yes Nak. I'm right here." Elsa nodded her head. He wiped away the tears that began to wet his cheeks.
Mr. Hamid lifts Rafa's body from Elsa's lap, while Bu Nurul helps Elsa to stand up from her place.
"We're home, son. There will be a final lecture for Ivan." Said Bu Nurul with his hoarse voice.
"I'm home Mas ... I love you." Pamit Elsa in her heart before passing away.
Sadness is enveloping the little family of Mr. Hamid. Moreover, Bu Nurul, every night he cried for his only son who had gone for good.
...💠💠💠💠...
Two weeks later ....
A great regret had enveloped Bu Kana. He was still shocked at the passing of his son-in-law who had been hurt in the past. He has kept himself locked up in his room since returning from Mr Hamid's house a few weeks ago.
Mr. Roni has brought in a psychologist and some Kyai to help his wife recover from her depression. He was sad to see his wife who kept pensive on the bed. Her tears were drained from her immense guilt.
Ms. Kana averted her eyes, when she heard the door open. Mega walked to where Bu Kana was at this time with a tray containing warm ginger and steamed brownie that had been bought.
"Mrs ... " Sapa Mega before putting the tray on the nightstand.
"It's no drink for Mama." Said Mega with an expanding smile on her face.
"Mega .. Sit down, son." Lirih Bu Kana while patting the bed next to him.
"What's the matter Ma?" Ask Mega.
"I'm sorry Mama, you've plunged you into this unhappy household. Mama has absolutely no idea about everything that's happened to you." Said Bu Kana while holding Mega's hand.
Mega was just silent, he was actually tired of all this. He is desperate for an obsession wrapped in love.
"It's not Mama's fault. It's Mega's own fault, Mega's already forced into Emran's life." Mega's eye pellets are starting to dew.
Bu Kana sighed, he turned his gaze in another direction.
"Mega, tomorrow Mama must meet his wife Emran who is in Malang. Sorry you had to do this." Said Ms. Kana with a straight look ahead.
"Will Mama take her to stay here?" Ask Mega.
"Yes, if he wants to. Mama doesn't want to regret it a second time, Ga. Mama can't imagine if something happened to Emran and Mama didn't know." The tears of Bu Kana flowed back.
Mega sobbed in front of Bu Kana. He could not imagine that Dina was in this house. He must see Emran treating Dina with love and full love, while he must be neglected.
"Please excuse me, Ma." Speak Mega before passing away from in front of Bu Kana.
