After hearing the sad news of the figure he once loved, Alan with the Mama, accompanied the Nena family to deliver Nena's body to his final resting place.
That afternoon, the weather seemed unfriendly. Black clouds began to cover the blue sky. As if the earth was ready
welcome the rain. That's why Nena's funeral was more expedited than it should have been.
Aunt Rosi was unceasingly crying over Nena's departure. Although, the husband repeatedly advised him not to dissolve in sadness.
"Have Mother, already, let Nena calm there," said Nena's father, Om Grace.
"But Father, Mother is still very difficult to be able to accept all this. Why did Nena have to leave Mother like this?" sahut Aunty Rosi who is endlessly crying.
"Mother! Mother, must sincerely accept the departure of Nena. Let him calm down in nature" said Nena's father to appease his wife.
"But Nena is our only child, Dad," said Aunt Rosi.
"True Auntie, Nena would definitely be sad to see her Mother like this. Aunty knows, Nena can't stand to see her mother cry. This is God's will, Auntie.
Aunty crying like anything would never be possible to bring Nena back. He's gone, Auntie, and he can't come back, " said Alan.
Alan's words made Aunt Rosi speechless, the moment between reason and her heart could not synergize well. On the one hand, her reasoning justifies what Alan and her husband said. However,
on the other side of his heart screamed, he still could not accept all of this. The departure of the princess was only a puppet so suddenly, without a word, without a hug.
Flashback off
Abi, Alan, and Faizal have arrived at the funeral. They sat around the tomb with a tombstone that read 'Serena Wijaya bint Rahmat Wijaya'.
He placed a white rose on top of the tomb by Abi. He looked at the tombstone fixedly, his eyes began to glaze over. Memories for memories of being together with
the figure that was now wrapped in a shroud under the navel flashed in his memory. A single tear fell on both corners of his eyes.
Alan who was near Abi witnessed the heartbreaking sight. He also patted the shoulders of his comrades in arms, as if to hint that his friend was getting up and
end sorrow. As if understanding by Alan's gesture, Abi wiped away the tears that fell on both of her white cheeks.
"Nena, I'm sorry, I just got to see you today. And even to this day I still can not find romantic words to express all my love for you. I am not very good at words. But you know I really love you. I was really struck when I found out you were no longer by my side" Abi said bitterly.
Abi took a deep breath, trying to neutralize his feelings, so that tears would no longer drip on his cheeks.
"Nena, maybe this is our destiny. God loves you more than me. I hope you get the best place by His side" Abi said.
After the last sentence was spoken from Abi's mouth, he raised both palms, praying for the lover who was now at His side. Alan and Faizal followed Abi's movements.
They prayed together for Nena.
After the prayer was finished, the three rose from the place. They were about to continue their journey to the home of Nena's parents. However, in the middle of the journey,
his third step came to a halt, as they saw the two figures they wanted to meet were walking towards them.
The two figures are none other than Om Rahmat and Aunty Rosi. They are Nena's parents.
"Om, Auntie," said Alan as they passed by. The two figures also stopped in front of Alan,
Abi, and Faizal.
"Alan, are you and your friends new from Nena's grave?" greeting Om Friendly grace
"True, Om, Faizal and I from Nena's grave escorted Abi" Alan said.
"You're healthy apparently" said Aunt Rosi coldly after noticing Abi from the end
hair to the toe. Then spread his gaze in all directions as if he did not want to see Abi's face.
Seeing the attitude of Aunt Rosi who was so cold to him, Abi's heart felt very sick. How not, Aunt Rosi is a mother who is very loved by her lover. And vice versa, he knows
Aunt Rosi is a mother who loves her daughter very much. However, even though his heart ached he still tried to hold back that feeling.
"Alhamdulillah is it, Auntie," replied Abi.
"Good," said Om Rahmat while patting Abi's shoulder slowly.
Then they both left Abi, Alan, and Faizal. However, his second move came to a halt when Abi suddenly called out to Aunt Rosi.
"Tante," call Abi.
However, Aunt Rosi remained silent not to acknowledge Abi's words. He didn't even turn his body. He still felt angry, annoyed, and annoyed at Abi.
"Aunty, can I hug Auntie?" abi Pinta. Hearing Abi's request, Aunt Rosi turned her body to face Abi.
"For what?" ask Aunt Rosi ketus
"You're just a stranger! You're just a man who's been close to my son, and after my son's gone, that means we're no longer in a relationship" Said Aunt Rosi full of emotion and emphasis in each word and after finishing saying his words to Abi, he turned his eyes to another place as if not
I want to see Abi for a little longer.
"Tante, I know Aunt spoke like that out of anger at me. Aunty was disappointed in me because I was unable to protect Nena, Auntie's favorite daughter," Abi said.
"Yes, that's right! I am very disappointed in you! You can't take good care of Nena. Though I have already told you, when you will take her away, please take good care of Nena!!" aunt Rosi shouted emotionlessly while looking at Abi with a gaze full of anger.
"Mother, enough! How many times have you said this was fate. Why do you keep blaming Abi? Abi forgive Aunt Rosi, yes," said Om Grace.
Abi answered nothing. Suddenly he hugged Aunt Rosi tightly from behind. Just then Aunt Rosi was about to pass away leaving her in anger.
"Tante, once again forgive Abi, Abi please. Nena always said that when Auntie was angry, Nena would hug Aunt tightly and would not let go of her arms from Auntie until Auntie forgave her" Abi said.
Abi's words and hugs instantly melt the anger that is in Aunt Rosi. He remembered his only princess. His daughter has always done what Abi is doing. Each time, angry at her daughter, Nena hugs herself tightly until she forgives her daughter's mistakes.
Tears were now flowing on the beautiful face of the middle-aged woman. Om Grace let his wife. He said nothing because he knew his wife's anger was now beginning to subside. Abi has managed to touch the fragile side of his wife's soul.
"Alright, I forgive you Abi, Aunt forgives you," said Aunt Rosi softly, but could still be heard.
Hearing Aunt Rosi's words, everyone in the place was delighted. There was relief that had been lingering in their hearts. The atmosphere surrounded the place. Unknowingly, the eyes of Abi, Alan, and Faizal also look swollen.
Abi releases his embrace from Aunt Rosi. After which, Aunt Rosi turned her body, looking back.
"Hey! You guys are men! Quickly remove those tears!" aunt Rosi's reprimand on four boys
behind her back, Abi, Alan, Faizal, and her husband.
Suasana saat itu pun mulai berubah. Suasana yang tadinya menegangkan, kini berganti menjadi suasana yang hangat dan penuh canda ria.
