Princess Endut
218. Reason (End)

A sprinkling of red rose petals fell over Brilyan's tomb. A white handcuffs touched a gravestone bearing Brilyan's name there.

Again and again the cheek was pierced by tears that managed to drip from both eyes that had been swollen and slouched.

Today's weather seems so cloudy as if nature is mourning Brilyan's departure. One by one the mourners dressed in black stepped away to tell some people in Brilyan's tomb.

Ahmad walked over to Johan, hugging the man who never stopped crying.

"Patience, sir," he said making Johan nod.

Ahmad patted Johan on the shoulder and walked over to Laila, grabbed her shoulder and walked away from the tomb.

"Sir Ahmad!" call Burhan make pak Ahmad and Laila step stopped.

They looked back at Burhan and Lady Sasmita who were approaching.

"I'm sorry too. Weva told us everything."

Mr. Ahmad nodded. There was no smile on the man's lips. Not long after he stepped back to his car leaving Burhan and Lady Sasmita who now stepped in the direction of the car.

Wiwi approached Ken, touching his shoulder made the badly hit man turn his head.

"Gue is sad, not only me but everything" said Wiwi who turned to look at Mr. Walio, Ina, Granny Ratum and gang members who were also present in the funeral procession.

Ken nodded slowly to get Wiwi up and stepped away along with the others leaving Ken and Weva who are now still faithful in Brilyan's tomb.

The leaves fall on the green grass when hit by the wind that brings the smell of rain. The dark sky at this time indicates that it will soon rain this afternoon.

Weva touched Ken's shoulder, stroking him until he finally turned his head.

Ken smiled faintly, but soon the smile disappeared from his lips. He looked down at the gravestone and touched it again.

"Lo know not Wev why I told you to make Nerima Brilyan your girlfriend?"

No response from Weva. He was silent, not knowing what to say this time.

"Brilyan knew that his illness was severe. The tumor in his brain has spread and is difficult to cure despite surgery."

"He told me that and he also said that before he left this world he wanted this family to be all right and everything was done."

"Mr and Mr. Johan are better, he also said that he was happy to be able to fret about having a whole family."

"She already knew who her biological parents were but her love remained for her long-dead mother and it was finally what made Brilyan sincere to leave."

"Wevs!"

Weva turned to look at Ken who was now looking at him sincerely, he touched Weva's fingers and smiled thinly there.

"One thing Brilyan said when he left."

Ken took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"Brilyan told me to take care of you, Wev and now I'm gonna do what Brilyan said."

"Wev, no matter what the circumstances are, my story will remain beside you until God takes me from this world."

Ken touched Weva's hair, stroking it so gently made Weva smile with her quivering lips holding back tears.

"Gue love same lo, Wev. I really love you."

"Lo should know that Brilyan also love you. Brilyan doesn't want anyone else to live with you."

"Brilyan has nitipin lo into me and I'll make that promise. Now you want to live with me?" ken asked, making Weva's tightly closed lips shake with tears.

"You, right?"

Weva's cry broke, he nodded then hugged Ken's body which immediately welcomed the warm embrace. Ken took off his embrace, stroking the tears on both of Weva's cheeks gently.

"Gue promise, Wev these are the last tears of sadness that come out of your eyes. I will make you happy. I promise, Wev, I promise," he said, hugging Weva's body.

Ken stuck out his fingers to make Weva put his fingers on Ken's palm and bring him up.

They stared at Brilyan's grave for a moment until they finally decided to walk away.

Is this the end of the story in the story of princess endut? The love story of three beings who expect love from someone.

We will never know where that love came from. Maybe we would expect that love from someone but in fact it comes from a different person like Weva in their love story.

Weva who thought that the boy who helped her first was Brilyan and made her fall in love every day, tried to survive the many bulian of many people, he said, trying to accept his shortcomings but it was not easy until he was met by a man named Ken Satya Negara.

The man who was one of the number one bullies for him is now his true love. We do not know who our love is and where our true love comes from. We never knew that.

Maybe today we will hate someone but, we will not know what will happen in the future. It is possible that the person we hate will be our true love.

Is this the end of the story? The departure and union of a person and perhaps, yes there may be no more beautiful story than a union but, there is no beautiful story if there is a death.

If it could be in a single story then crying and laughter are integrated in a story that would be hard to forget.

If someone asks if there is a man who is really quiet then just call his name is Brilyan however, if you hear the figure of the bully man who finally loves the girl he bully then it is Ken.

If you hear a fat girl and go back to being slim for the sake of the wrong person then of course she is Weva.

Like this is a story, the love story of three creatures that are in one story. Someone's gone and there's a united one that's them, Princess Endut.
