"Mas also pity Sania and her children, they are still small but have become orphans."
"It seems like this afternoon I saw Sofwan coming with an old man..Who is he?" Ask his brother Sultan.
"She's Sofwan's father-in-law, mas!!" The Sultan said again.
"It seems like I'm no stranger to seeing Sofwan's in-laws, but look where are you?" His brother Sultan seemed to think.
"Yes on television mas, lha wong her father-in-law is a famous businessman.pastilah often appear on television or in the newspaper."

"How are you feeling, Niko?" Jonathan asked his son.
"Niko is afraid well.fear the operation failed!! The problem is that Niko has been blinded for a long time!!" Answer Niko.
"Pray the Power.may the sacrifice of your twin brother not be in vain." Jonathan tried to encourage his son.
"Who are you today to open the bandage in your eyes, Niko? Doctor Alvin said with a smile.
God willing, ready for the doctor...." Answer Niko steady.
Slowly the bandage that wrapped Niko's eyes opened. Niko blinked her eyes. He still sees vaguely.
"How's Niko?" Ask doctor Alvin.
"It's still vaguely doctor.and my eyes are still a bit glare."
"Yes slowly Niko, your eyes will also have to adapt first."
"I want to see your face again, I want to go to Miko's grave to thank her, dad!!"
"Let's go there, boy!! I'll take you."
It was beginning to look brighter and brighter.
"Dad, Niko can already see you clearly..." Niko looked very happy.
"It's been 17 years Niko can't see the face of father, only now can Niko look back, well!!" Niko hugged a very meritorious man in her life, who had cared for her from childhood until she was this old.
"Honey Niko can no longer see the faces of mother and Miko, well.If Niko could see them, Niko would be very happy."
"It looks like tomorrow we can go home, we go straight to the funeral!!" We just got home."
"Thank you God, thank you Miko!!" Unceasing praise of thanksgiving continues to be offered."

Sania sat pensively in the back garden. She seemed to be still reminiscing about all the memories she had with her beloved husband.
As if always imagined Miko talk, laugh and joke with him and the children.
"I don't want to live like this, I have to move on. But if I stay in this house, I'll always remember you." Mumbled.
"Am I going back to my old house??" I want to work again, I don't want to expect money from my husband's legacy to continue."
"At least if I have a busy life, I do not feel sad continue.Lagain I can start working afternoon at the Sultan's cafe."
Sania's decision is already unanimous to move out of her husband's house filled with millions of memories. He wanted to rise from his slump all this time.
"Pardon mommy yes dad, not mother no longer love dad.but mother also have children that you have to take care of, mother can not continue to live under all the memories of father."
That night he and the children were talking about this. The kids don't mind going back to the old house.
A week ago before returning to Yogyakarta, Sofwan came to see his children and ex-wife to just say condolences.
That afternoon Sania riding on a motorbike matic memento from Miko, came on a pilgrimage to her husband's grave. He just came alone there.
But from a distance he saw someone wearing a black hodie sitting in front of Miko's grave.
"Who is that guy..does he look like a boy?" Sania Gumam.
Slowly he stepped up and stopped right behind the person, but he just kept quiet while paying attention.
The person stood up and as he turned around, the two of them were both shocked.
"Are you Niko?" Sania immediately guessed it because the person standing right in front of her was indeed Niko.
But how did you get here by yourself? Where's Jonathan's dad?" His pedicab.
He has no idea that Niko can see thanks to Miko.
"You're Sania?"
"How do you know I'm Sania? You can't see.sorry before." Sania.
Niko smiled. In his sight was the face of ayu who stood before him. Although the face looks pale and haggard, but it does not reduce its beauty at all.
"I can see all thanks to Miko's services...
before she died, Miko donated her eyes to me." Her speech.
"So what you have now is my husband's eyes? I deserve to feel as if he's alive and coming back with me."
"What were you here in that vehicle, Niko?" My toot.
"Online objects!" Answer Niko.
"If you're with me then go home, but wait a minute I want to send my husband a prayer."
Niko simply nodded and gave way to Sania.
I rested in front of Miko's belly button, I gently rubbed the tombstone as if I were stroking it.
"Assalamualaikum..welcome afternoon my dear? How are you today? Is dad in there okay?"
"If the mother is still very upset with the father, do you not miss the mother? How can you wait for me not to stop by in your dreams?" Sania continued to speak regardless of Niko's presence behind her.
"Dad, don't be angry if you and your children want to go back to your old home!!"
"In our home mom always lonely well.especially now there is no father there."
"In our home, the mother always feels kangen same father.mother wants to move on well..." There were tears streaming down those thin cheeks.
Niko bit her own lips, she also felt sad to see the suffering of her sister-in-law. She knew now Sania had to take care of her children alone.
"We go home yuk.hari already afternoon, afraid we rained on the road.Where do I not bring a helmet again!!" She touched Sania's shoulder as if reluctant to stand leaving her husband's grave.
"Dad, mother came home first yes.tomorrow mother stopped by here again."
They both left the cemetery.
"Niko, can there be a time when you're the same father to the house? There's something I want to talk to you two about!!" I said to Niko.
"How about now I call dad to go first there so I don't go back and forth." I nodded at Niko's words.
"Ko...You brought the bike?? My time that women shake men?" I said.
"But I've had a dozen years never brought a motorbike, later we both stop by the ugd not directly back home."
Want to not want me to smile at Niko's innocent words.
