Rainbow for Aqila
Been Gone

"You've finally found the right companion" Tina's mother stroked her daughter's head, but she was moved when she heard the news of her child's pregnancy. It is not wrong to trust Rian, a man who is patient and accepts all his shortcomings

"Thank you for believing in me to take care of Rani" said Rian, he still feels like a dream today

"We should be grateful that you're willing to accept it" Mr Bayu apologized for beating the man

Rian just laughed nodding in response, the pain may have gone but as he remembered that he became embarrassed himself

"Don't think too much, you might just be exhausted, sorry to scare you" Diana clasped Aqila's hand, so she felt guilty for saying this to Aqila

"I understand brother, being vigilant does not hurt" Aqila tried to smile even though her heart had prepared the worst possibility, while looking at her son who played cheerfully with his cousin, he wanted to see the happy laughter until they grew up, but would God allow it?

Aqila tried to smile as they chatted and laughed together, not because she didn't want to tell you, but the letter from the doctor had to be clear

He realized that he could not hide this anymore as before because everything was different, now he had a happy family, a good husband and loved him, and children who still needed him

Almost half an hour and a half ten nights until the event ended, their chat when they had met was indeed along the way, ranging from work, children, health to discussing things that are popular on social media

"You guys just stay here, Ila and Ilal seem to be sleepy, after all tomorrow?" Mama Intan gives advice when Aqila and Naufal say goodbye

"Your room is still the same, aunt always cleaned it"

Naufal turned to Aqila, asking for advice from his wife, who was in no mood to refuse

"Aqila doesn't wear a change of clothes"

"Wear Joseph and Zara's clothes, clothes when they were the age of Ilal and Ila, still good really" the idea of Devano made them finally decide to stay overnight

Perhaps due to the exhaustion the two children immediately fell asleep the moment his body touched the bed, Aqila covered their bodies with a blanket after making sure they were comfortable with his position

"You also rest, don't get too tired" said Naufal made Aqila again remember that, he wanted to tell a story but not sure, he promised to tell a story tomorrow after returning from the hospital

"I wish we could see them growing up together happily, a time when we could see them wearing graduation toga and finding their companion" Aqila wiped a slight corner of her eyes as she said that

"Of course, we'll accompany them until then"

"Sir Naufal" was silent for quite a while, Aqila finally dared to call Naufal's name which seemed to be sleeping into a dream

"Hmmm" only a mutter could be heard from the man's reply it seemed like he was indeed about to fall asleep

"Sir Diana told the hospital tomorrow, for her next checkup, she didn't say anything but just told me to be alert" Aqila's voice was very soft as she said that, there was no reply from Naufal, when she looked at him, her husband was already sound

Aqila took a deep breath, she would talk about this tomorrow alone, it was hard to imagine this, when she had to undergo treatment again or maybe would leave her two children who still needed her

"Sorry mother, please be strong if you really go"

Aqila was unable to say anything more when she felt a warm liquid dripping from her nose, she ran to the bathroom holding the tightness of her chest, it used to be probably not going to hurt this much, but considering how her baby, she was, the passion for life must be greater if the disease is to return

"Lord, I think my life is that simple"

By half three in the morning, Aqila's eyes were forced open when she heard the sound of a cell phone ringing loudly, not only did she turn out Naufal also woke up because of that

"Who?" He muttered when he saw Aqila's phone ringing hard enough on the nightstand

"Sir Hasan?" Aqila furrowed her brows, it was rare for her sister-in-law to call and now suddenly at a time like this

"Hello, Assalamu'alaikum brother"

"Wa'alaikumussalam Qil, is Naufal?" He asked in a voice like holding something back, Aqila immediately handed the phone to Naufal

"Fal, abi abi.."

"Tell me why?" Naufal's tone instantly turned frantic

"Abi has gone" the call was cut off just like that after Hasan said that, Naufal still fell silent at the thought of digesting what had just come out of his brother's mouth

"What's wrong with Naufal?" Aqila shook the arm of her husband who suddenly fell silent

"Go away Qil" he said

"Per away" Aqila stammered the word, for some reason what she thought when she heard it was immediately fixed on the three words 'not going back'

"Let's go to the ponpes now" Aqila flicked their blankets gently, afraid to wake her sleeping child with an already irregular sleeping position

"How are the kids?" Naufal's voice trembled, Aqila's hands trembled, for some reason in this quiet time the body always trembled in shock, perhaps because her consciousness was forced to be withdrawn

"I'll call mom and dad, the kids can catch up tomorrow morning" he walked open the door to his room, the house was still dark because everything was still asleep in the dream

"Mah" even her small voice as if whispering was clearly heard in silence

He actually did not feel good to disturb the rest of his parents, but he also could not bring his baby who was still asleep to the ponpes

"Bah" he ventured a little knocking on the door

The door in front of her was finally opened, Mama Intan appeared by covering her slightly evaporating mouth

"I'm sorry to interrupt mom and dad's sleep, but abi"

"Why is Umar?" Mama Intan's consciousness immediately returned to hear the name of her daughter-in-law

"Abi died" he said

"What?!"

"Why?" Papa Arya came out when she heard Mama Intan's voice a little loud, she thought her daughter just needed something

"Abi Umar is dead"

"Innalillahiwaina illaihi roji'un" Papa Arya was similarly shocked

"Aqila just as Naufal wants to go to the pesantren, Aqila can nitip the kids? They're still sleeping"

"They leave tomorrow morning following along with us, sorry can't come now" Aqila nodded in understanding

"Sorry to trouble you"

"What are you talking about? She's our granddaughter so we're definitely not a problem" Mama Intan didn't like to hear her daughter say that

"Be careful on the road, tell Naufal not to speed, be careful safety is number one" Aqila nodded and kissed his parents' hands, then Naufal came out of the room and walked towards them

"Keep your heart out" Papa Arya patted the shoulder of her daughter-in-law who looked like a daze

"Definitely pah, sorry for the trouble for Ilal and Ila"

"Not at all"

In the middle of the night, the full moon is like a lamp for the earth, the flow of leaves like a fine whisper, the dense activity of the morning is seen slowly in the middle of the night, not many vehicles passing by, and there are not many vehicles passing by, they must be people who have interests or maybe they just want to drive the burden of the world from their minds by breathing the fresh air this early
