Every living being will die someday and that fate is inevitable. You who are left behind can only lament sorrow with tears. Every day the feeling of longing will touch the heart.

One word that can be used as the best solution is to give up or be sincere. But unfortunately, sincerity is not an easy thing for everyone to do. The sincere stage is high, it takes a strong mental for it. Especially when abandoned by loved ones for eternity like a woman named 'mother'.

The mother who has played an important role in your life, she who gave birth, cared for, and cared for you until now, has closed her eyes. Want to scream begging for time replay will not be able to.

" There was no choice but to let go of his departure. Only a thread of prayer that you can send, so that the mother is always calm with the Almighty. In order for the heart to be calmer, read the words of wisdom related sincerely when the mother died." A word that kept on remembering in Aini's mind.

The word Daffa said when he learned that Aini was still crying in the third of the night.

" There is no hope that a mother wants the most, except to see her child live happily from up there. Crying because of the mother's departure is okay, but it is not recommended to continue lamenting the sadness." Akbar said as he closed the night before they all decided to take a break.

In the room, Aini was pensive in front of the window that was still open.

Chequek...

Daffa came in and went straight to Aini.

" The window is closed, the wind will come in." Pekik Daffa's.

" Death leaves an incurable heartache, love leaves memories that cannot be stolen." Daffa said when he saw Aini silently staring.

"After all, death is a law of nature that cannot be resisted. Man is not given the opportunity to bargain, but rather the power to be patient."

Daffa asked Aini to sit on the edge of the bed.

"If we sincerely allow it to enter the heart, we must be able to bear all the happiness and wounds caused by that feeling." Say Daffa while holding Aini's hand.

Aini looked at Daffa, Daffa smiled. Then slowly Daffa moved and placed his first kiss on Aini's forehead.

" Go to sleep, sometimes we can just be sincere, accept it and move on. Let us be at peace with ourselves, and life must be calmer."

" Remember always your mother's prayer and they always love you. Those prayers stick to you all your life."

Daffa again said the word when Aini was just silent. Either silent because he who still can not mengikhlaskan mother's departure or silent because surprised by the kiss that diabuh Daffa.

That night, none of them could sleep.

Daffa himself did not understand where the urge to kiss Aini came from.

Day seven...

"It's time I learned not to miss. I know you're happy there." Said Aini who was at the mother's meal.

"Losing a mother is one of the deepest sorrows the heart can know. But his kindness, his care, and his wisdom live on. Assalamualaikum sister-in-law"

Aini was surprised, she looked up before finally looking down.

" Salmonaaflame.." Lirih Aini but can still be heard clearly in the ears of Daffi Daffi proved to smile at hearing the greeting spoken by Aini.

"Life is forever beautiful when we are grateful. If we sincerely accept God's scenario, whatever form it takes." Said Daffi while squatting next to Aini. Sow flowers for Mother and recite prayers.

"Now I know why you used to always ask me to be strong .. Because you know that one day I will need strength to bear the loss of something precious in my life." Screeched Aini.

" Removing tears of sadness when mom dies doesn't mean you erase her figure in the heart. Remember, though mother is gone, but all the beautiful things are ingrained in the heart." Say Daffi again.

"Although mother is gone, but her figure is like a legacy of love that will always be with you. May that love surround you now and bring peace." Daffi said as he walked away from Aini.

"Don't keep lamenting that farewell. Wake up from your grief, look at the people around you." Aini who was speechless was shocked because it was as if she heard mother's whisper.

Aini got up and looked around. There was no one but him and Daffi who had already drifted away.

" Maybe that was just part of my hallucination.. Or myself because I miss her too much." Screeched Aini.

Aini then walked back to her house.

"Ikhlas against the destiny that God has outlined, for death only He knows." Said Yuli who entered and smiled while sitting next to Aini.

"We know you heard from above. There is nothing we value more than love. No matter where we are or what I do, the memory of mom always makes us smile." Say Yuli again.

"Farewell must always be painful, it's human nature. But rest assured that there is always great wisdom behind all that God has planned." Said Akbar who came in because the door of the mother's room was not closed.

"I cried incessantly as mom left, but I promise, I won't let the tears ruin the smile you gave me when it was still around." Aini.

" That's my sister ." Yuli said while hugging her sister.

"In life, we love you so much, in death we still love you. In our hearts, mother has a special place, no one else will take her place." Lirih Yuli and Aini in heart together.

One week later...

Daffa searches for Aini's whereabouts, apparently Aini is in the home office to check the data.

" It's..."

" Yes?"

" I'm going back to town, you can stay here if..."

" I'll have to get our stuff ready soon." Say Aini with a smile and leave her job.

" What?. No. I mean you can stay here as long as you want." Say Daffa while walking behind Aini.

Aini stopped and turned around immediately.

Brug !!

The unprepared Daffa of course crashed into Aini.

" Sorry.." Pekik Daffa's.

" What did my husband say?" Ask Aini.

" You can stay here as long as you want." Daffa.

" So you think I'm gonna stay here and let you go back to making out with Ken's secretary?"

" What?. I wasn't..."

" Is your wife actually me or Ken's secretary?"

" You.."

" Oh yeah, don't you want to stay with me anymore?" Ask Aini while approaching Daffa.

It was so close that there was no distance between them.

" Ahem..."
