Please Let go of me

Please Let go of me
Chapter 23 - Farewell


It did not feel like four days had passed, walking like flowing water, following where the current carried it. Packing all his belongings and putting them in his suitcase, the teardrops became a testament to his yearning for the foundation. He doesn't know when he'll be back. Dancing in his mind, the children who play, bathe them and also accompany make their own memories in the Sacred heart. 


Tracing his gaze into that very small room, the bed with mats and the old wooden cupboard made his heart seem unwilling to leave. But, Suci is still a wife who can not refuse the invitation and orders of the husband. The reason for both is that the baby must get the love of a father, not think of himself and can only rely, surrender to the creator. 


When finished, Suci pulled her suitcase and dragged her out of the room, stepping her heavy feet to leave the place she had been living in for several days. It looks like the volunteers are saddened by his passing, especially Melati. 


Melati immediately scattered the embrace very closely accompanied by a symbol of tears pouring down the clothes, introductions so short made the two become close friends. "Get yourself there, call me when you get there. I must have missed you," he said as he let go of his embrace. 


"Sure, take good care of yourself. I'm sorry, if I'm wrong with you or if my words offend." 


Melati smiled as she wiped her tears. "I forgive you."


"Are you not going to Indonesia, starting your life first." 


"For now I don't intend to be there, someday I will definitely visit you in Indonesia."


"I have your word, oh yes.I have not seen Rasidha, where is he?" Sacred was in search of the little girl who had accompanied him during his time in the foundation.


"So, he was here."


"Maybe he's saddened by my departure, I've disappointed him."


"He's just a kid, his disappointment will go away with time." Melati tries to comfort her best friend, not wanting Saints to be burdened.


Saints were saddened to hear that, taking out a distinctive carved pendant from his pocket, rubbing the pendant very gently. She got the jewelry while living in an orphanage, a pendant that stuck to her neck when she was a baby. That was all he had, an old memory that would be given to the little girl, handing the pendant to her best friend. "Give this pendant to her, take it as a gift as well as a memory from me." 


"According to your trust," replied Melati who took a beautifully carved pendant. "The locket is so beautiful, Rasidha must be happy."


"Are you ready?" 


"Hem, as it seems," said the lethargic Saint.


Zufar started driving his car, while Suci waved his hand and returned to his seated position. 


Melati was very sad, kept waving her hands. Both pupils of his eyes widened when he saw a child who ran following the car from a distance, while holding a teddy bear. Every now and then the little girl wiped away the tears that continued to flow profusely, sticking out one hand. "Rasida?" he immediately chased after the little girl, trying his hardest. 


"Rasidha.Rasidha, come back!" his yell.


The little girl did not budge, continuing to chase the car driven by Zufar. Until accidentally tripped and his knee released fresh blood, but it did not feel painful when the departure of a few days into the figure of a surrogate mother. 


"Astaghfirullahal'Adzim, Rasidha.your knees are bleeding, dear." Jasmine was extremely anxious and tore off the tip of her robe, the knees clashing against the pointy stone causing blood to come out. 


Rasidha kept crying looking at the invisible car in sight, crying as if remembering just getting affection. Jasmine swiftly hugged the little girl, wiped away the tears and calmed her down. "One day, the Holy Mother will come back and meet you. Don't cry anymore! Oh yeah, there's a locket for you." Persuaded him who put up a beautiful pendant of Holy gifts. 


From a height of several meters, one also looked sad with the passing of the Saints which had a good effect on him. "He's gone, will I meet him?" the murmur was still heard by the friend.


"It's just a law of nature, if you're lucky you'll meet him. Lf it doesn't? Please try again," Felix lightly tapped back to make Simon upset, furious with his silly best friend.


"Are you tired of living, huh?" 


"Eit, relax. Every meeting there must be a separation, it has become a law of nature. Never mind, forget that! Don't let your mind be burdened and go back to the task."


"Yes, you're telling the truth." Said Simon who had resigned.
