Rapa & Cleona: Keeping the Heart
87. Pamite

After finishing dinner with Burma as a new member of the silly family, Cleona, who was accompanied by her husband, brought strawberry cake that was made this afternoon by her sister and in-laws to the gazebo, the place they make to gather at night, in addition to the cool air in the place is also comfortable for chatting, which always makes this family relationship more familiar and warm.

With a big smile and sparkling eyes all welcome to the arrival of Cleona, more precisely the cake carried by a beautiful woman who was always on her husband's ekori, only Clara who did not participate in welcoming the food, and the food was not, considering it's just that woman who doesn't like anything that smells strawberry. I don't know, everyone doesn't know what causes Clara to dislike the fruit.

“Whose son are you, Tu? Mother wonder, others like strawberries, only you doang who do not.”

“Cneighbor's son, maybe.” Clara answered with a joke.

“Continue writing here? There go,” said Leo who immediately got a sharp delicacy Clara.

“Pa..”

“Papi holds Ella's hand,” Laura's pinta suddenly extends her hand to the papi, cutting off Clara who was about to speak. It all of course made everyone turn their head, including Leo who was currently frowning confused also looked at the child suspiciously.

“Why?” ask Leo who of course is still reluctant to reach his son's hand, for fear of being exposed to the pranks of his youngest daughter.

“Hold me why, Pi!” anxious Laura who kept asking the papi to take her hand.

“Do not want! Later papi got your prank, lazy.”

“Papi hold!”

“You have no intention jahilin papi right, La?” still reluctant to believe, Leo instead hid his hands behind his back.

“Papi, please!” please Laura who is back gets the trousers from the old man.

“Papi choose according to what regrets?” the snort of Laura who had started to get upset. Impressed disrespectfully indeed, but how else, Laura was already upset at this time at the papi who did not want to shake his hand. Didn't the old man know that his body was getting tired?

Seeing the princess's heart-wrenching look, Leo finally welcomed his son's hand which had been pointed at him for a few minutes. The feeling of doubt that originally alighted now even made him shed tears once the tiny hands of his son he held tightly.

The face that originally featured Laura who was pleading, now turned into a beautiful figure that was so desperately missed was smiling sweetly. All who were there were of course astonished, what else when he heard the sobbing coming out of Leo's lips. They thought that the old man was successfully done by Laura, but in fact, they all thought wrong when they heard Laura who started to make a sound.

“I want to say goodbye, same to you, same to all of you. Sorry to leave without saying anything first. Now that I've calmed down, what's more watching you guys happy,” Laura's face adorned with a typical smile Luna moves to stare at one by one the people who are there. Before then refocusing himself on Leo who can only see his current presence.

“I exist, Le. I'm always there.. in your hearts.” Luna replied still with a smile that didn't seem to want to fade, adding to Luna's beauty who was currently more radiant with her clean white dress. “Leo, promise not to go back to grieving, I will never be able to leave if you continue like that,” Laura's hand outstretched wiping the clear fur on Leo's cheek. Cold, that's what Leo felt as soon as the tiny hand was on his face.

“Do not always cry when alone, Le." That gentle smile made Leo's tears flow more and more. And yes, Leo admitted that until now he is still always crying for his wife in his own time.

“I want to come with you, Lun,” isak Leo tightly grasps both cold hands of the wife.

That beautiful figure shook his head. “Priela still needs you, Le including our spoiled child,” he said as he turned to Cleona who was crying beside Rapa. Leo turned to his first child who was now looking at him sadly.

“You let me go, can you, Le?” pinta Luna pleaded.

After a few seconds of silence, Leo finally nodded slowly, aware that what he had previously said would seem selfish to his two daughters.

Back Leo stared fixedly at his beautiful wife who was currently so difficult in the clingy, he wanted to use this opportunity to look at the complacent face of his wife, he wanted, because Leo knew that Luna would never return after this.

“Thank you for keeping me company all this time, thank you for being a good husband to me, being a good father to our children, and thank you for keeping me company until the last breath,”

Every word that his wife said Leo's tears flowed with a rush. Maybe now Leo is more like a teenage girl who just broke up. But isn't what Leo experienced more than that?

“I'm happy living with you, spending the rest of the time with someone I love. You know, honestly I still want to live with you, gather with my kids, family and friends, but God needs me more. Sorry if all this time I have not been happy enough for you, sorry if all this time I can not be what you want and sorry if all this time I have been more troublesome for you, I am more, added by leaving the kids with you.”

Leo grew sobbing, as did Lyra, Cleona, Clara and Rapa. Actually, Burmese tears and Pandu also dripped and sadness was clearly visible, only the two men were more uplifting to strengthen their respective wives, in contrast to Rapa who can no longer withstand her sadness, because after childhood, Mami Luna took part in taking care of it.

“Leo, I love you. I love you so much, but I'm sorry I had to leave, not to leave you, just now our world is no longer the same. I hope after this you can really let go of my departure. Be happy, Le, with those who love and need you. Don't cry me anymore,” pinta Luna looks so begging.

A wider smile was etched beautifully into that pretty face, leaving Leo stunned and so reluctant to let go of his gaze.

Slowly the figure of Luna pulled her hand from Leo's tight grasp. “I titip Queen with Ella Yes, Le. And I'm picking up my grandson.”

That was the last word Luna said before her figure disappeared along with Laura's limp body collapse.
