Antara rolled his eyeballs and tried to catch what Zuena meant. Even Antar circulated his gaze towards the highway and around his house. Until finally Antara was able to find the existence of Zuena who was at the end of the road. Even though the night was dark, but the dim light of the lamp was able to make Antara feel sure if it was indeed Zuena.
‘I'm sure it's Him. But, if I go there myself what about the views of the neighbors and the others?' Ahtar monologues in heart.
Zuena, who was at the end of the road, stared at Ahtar and Ahtar was also staring at Zuena.
“Doctor Ahtar, now you can see me, right?” ask Zuena with a smile.
“But, I beg you not to come here to approach me with anyone. Because, I don't have long to be here.”
Zuena's voice ruffled in Ahtar's hearing, causing Ahtar to worry that Zuena was crying right now. And when Ahtar both came back suddenly the chest opposite Zuena stopped.
“Sorry Doctor Ahtar, I have to go now. And I'll never come back in your life again. The matter of you wanting to preach me, forget it! I'm really sorry, because I feel inappropriate.”
Ahtar who heard him rounded his eyes. And when Ahtar wanted to prevent Zuena's departure through the flat object, Zuena ended the call.
‘Where's Zuena? Why isn't it there? How fast did it go?’ Ahtar asked inwardly.
‘Yes Allah..This much more ordeal that You sent to Your very fragile servant? Could this be a sign that Zuena is not the soul mate you sent me, O God? Then, who is my soul mate and where is He?’
Ahtar rubbed his face rough, then he went back into the house. For a moment Ahtar stared at the clock attached to his wrist, the clock had shown at 03.15 WIB. Where dawn will soon come.
“Ahtar, are you back? What about Zuena?”
Ahtar fell silent and then took a rough breath. And it feels like he said his chat with Zuena a while ago that only through flat objects even though the actual distance between the two is quite close. However, Ahtar was afraid that Khadijah would feel sad and disappointed to hear Zuena's departure forever. And no matter where, Ahtar did not know.
“Ahtar have told Zuena, Bun. But, He cannot attend.just leave a message to Mother so that Mother becomes a stronger Mother again.” Ahtar gave his alibi reasons.
“Please tell him, Son. If Mommy will be stronger again, and tell her also the gratitude of Mommy.”
Ahtar nodded, then Ahtar went to the bathroom to refresh her body. And when going to do dawn prayers later Ahtar must be clean.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
“Mistress, make Irah make porridge first yes for Madam and others,” whisik bik Irah.
“Iya, Bik. But it does not need much, fear later not kemakan even mubadzir.”
Bi Irah nodded, a sign if he understood. In a state of heart that is still shrouded in deep sorrow, Khadija did not get his appetite completely. Only tears made Khadija feel quite calm, not to expose his pain to everyone.
“Hubby, just a moment you're gone. Not yet buried, but this self already feels lonely.” Khadijah breathed his heavy breath.
“Khadijah,” call Arumi while still in the doorway.
When the hour has entered the morning prayer time of Tristan, Arumi and Humaira have arrived in the city of Medan. And will never miss jiga with Yulian's best friend... Abdullah and his wife and son also went to Medan. They all wanted to take Yulian's body to the cemetery. Though disbelief still enveloped them all. Because the sad news was so sudden, even Tristan and Abdullah did not have a premonition. And all the snapping happened like a nightmare.
“Arumi, mas Yulian no longer exists in this world. Hix... Hiks..” Khadijah's tears broke again while in Arumi's arms.
“That's patient, Khadijah! It is God's destiny, although it is difficult for us to believe, but we cannot avoid it. Prayers just so that Yulian enter in His heaven God.” Arumi rubbed Khadijah's back to give her strength.
The morning prayers were performed, after which all resumed Yulian's funeral. At exactly 07:00 a.m., Yulian's body was raised to head to the cemetery. Ahtar, Arjuna, Tristan and Abdullah were responsible for the removal of the body, while Khadijah, Cahaya, Hafizha, Humaira and Arumi were behind the corpse while carrying a photo of Yulian well look so handsome and dashing with white clothes.
‘Destiny of death. That's something we can't avoid even if we don't want to. And destiny in the love story in the world we want with the word ‘forever’, that's the thing that's so impossible to stay together. Again and again, I feel slapped with a universe that does not want to be friendly to my wishes.’ Khadijah continued to monologue in his heart every step of the way as he headed to the cemetery.
No need for a long journey, the group of mourners finally arrived at the cemetery. And it has been the decision of the Yulian family including, Khadijah. If the tomb of Yulian will be juxtaposed with the tomb of Aisyah.
“Ahtar, Adzan kan Abi mu!” pinta papa Adhi. who is possessed by Ahtar.
After Yulian's body was put in a burrow, Ahtar went inside to wish to call out Yulian before Yulian was completely buried and melted with the earth that would cover it later.
The ground began to cover Yulian's body that was inside. And after that everything that was there sprinkled flowers. Then, they left Yulian's funeral that was over. On March 20, 2023, Yulian breathed her last. The figure of a kind, polite man, never looked at status with others and the man who has been protecting his family now, has closed the age.
“Abi, that's quiet in there! Ahtar will try to sincerely accept Abi's departure as soon as this.” Ahtar rubbed a tombstone bearing the name Yulian Atmajaya.
Ahtar stood up, then changed to Arjuna who crouched down and rubbed the tombstone and said, “Abi, Arjuna will try to be a good brother, husband and father for our family. Pray for Arjuna from there, Abi, and Arjuna will always pray for Abi from here.
“Abi!” shout Hafizha.
Hafizha scattered herself over Yulian's grave, it felt so heavy for the teenager to leave the burial site. Even saying farewell words to Yulian alone Hafizha could not, his tongue seemed so faint.
“Dek, we must be sincere. Patience!” whispered Light.
The light tried to grab Hafizha and invite her to stand up again. And they also try to strengthen their hearts and open themselves to return to live. But not with Khadija. Because he was still so reluctant to leave the still wet tomb. And all who were there tried to understand, giving room for Khadija to vent his sadness before leaving the old story.
“Hi, husband! Assalamu'alaikum's chat. I am here to try to recant your departure, and God willing, the one who died martyrdom, that person will be forgiven for his sin and will go to heaven. Let's hope it happens, so that you in heaven can meet your true lover... Aisyah.”
“I'm happy you can finally unite again. And I as your second wife want to say thank you because, you are already present in my life and give the true meaning of happiness. Thank you for keeping your promise that you will love me until your last breath. Thanks, Hubby.”
“Ana uhibopen fillah.”
Seriate...
