Tini was unable to say anything else but sobbing. He was very fond of the Sultan even though the Sultan was just his sister-in-law, but Tini who was born as the youngest child had considered the Sultan as his own biological sister.
"Call RT sir well, so that it can be immediately handled and broadcast in the mosque so they know that the Sultan is gone."
Krompyang....
The glass in Sania's hand detached itself from her hand.
Dina ran out of her room because she heard the sound of the broken object.
"What's bun? what did that thing fall on?" ask Dina.
"The glass you held fell on its own and broke!!" sahut Sania's.
"Be careful bun, let Dina clean the shards.do not get exposed to her hand mother."
"Ada apa ya ini, Dina?? perasaan bunda itu ngga enak sejak sore tadi...rasanya hati bunda seperti berdenyut sakit sekali tetapi bunda tidak tau apa penyebabnya."
"Bun.there's a call from aunt Tini!!" yelled Juned while bringing Sania's phone to him.
📱"Assalamaicum..."
📱"Yes..what's Tin?"
📱"Nia Sultan, Sultan...
Tini's voice sounded still crying while calling me.
Deg.. suddenly I thumped hearing the name of the Sultan called by Tini.
📱"What's up with Sultan, Tin?? is he sick and in the hospital again??"
📱"Not Nia, but the Sultan is gone!!"
📱"Lho, he said he's gone three more days..kok go now?"
📱"Not go it's Nia, but go for good leave us all."
📱"What do you mean, Tin?? I don't know!!"
📱"Sultan just died, Nia..new an hour ago."
Bluked...
I immediately sat down and the phone in my hand just slipped out of my grasp.
"No..no way..just yesterday he told me that he loves me, that he took a request from Miko to marry me, but why now he left me instead?"
I cried without a sound. I want to feel I do not believe the news reported by Tini, many times I pinched my arm dissatisfied I slapped my cheek many times to just make sure this is reality or just a dream.
"What's bun??? mother why?" dina asked frantically looking at my condition sitting limp on the floor.
Syifa, Juned, Della's sister, all came to me.
"Of Sultan..."
I could not continue my words anymore, because after I could not remember what happened, my eyes began to blur and I finally fell unconscious.
Della's sister took over the phone in my hand.
📱"Hello!!"
📱"Yes hello brother? what happened to Nia, Della's sister?"
📱"She fainted Tin, what's going on Tin?"
📱"Sultan kak, Sultan has died less than an hour ago."
📱"Innalillahi Wa Innalillahi rojiun"
Who died auntie?" said Dina.
Om Sultan, Dina.om Sultanmu has passed away.
Hearing that Dina, Syifa and Juned immediately cried. The news of the Sultan's sudden death clearly hit us all.
"Sister.I want to see the Sultan.." My voice sounds very soft.
"But Nia, your condition is really not possible."
"Sister, please.I want to accompany the Sultan before he is buried!!" I stay true to my stance.
📱"Tin..tonight we're going to your house, Sania wants to see the Sultan.
📱"Well, Brother Della, we'll be waiting for you.
📱"Assalamaicum..."
📱"Waalaikum Salam..."
We arrived at the house of Tini and there it was crowded with mothers and fathers who came to mourn.
He approached and sat down beside the body. The covering cloth and the peaceful face of the Sultan were like someone sleeping.
"Sultan's..." Sania shook the Sultan's body slowly.
"Wake up yuk..this is me, you do not sleep continuously..ayo open your eyes..Where is your promise to accompany me throughout your life? where did you promise you'd always want to be with me?"
"You are just like the others, you lied to me, you promised to stay but where is your promise? you even left me forever."
"Come Sultan.open your eyes to me!!"
Tears kept flowing down Sania's cheeks making all who were also feeling very sad. The scriptures were proclaimed, and the short surahs and jasins flowed from the lips of those who came to worship.
Sania remained sitting unmoved from the Sultan's side, from her lips incessantly reciting the holy verses.
****
The next day more students, fellow teachers, business associates and neighbors arrived.
Deceased during life is famous for being very kind and friendly to anyone.
Niko, Juma, Jonathan, Sofwan are already there. They also could not believe the sudden death of the Sultan.
According to the diagnosis of doctor Alvin who was present, probably before deciding to sleep, the Sultan had felt pain in his chest but continued to be held by the Sultan, he brought sleep probably meant to ease his pain.
However the diagnosis was, the Sultan had gone to a place where he would no longer feel the pain that often plagued him.
"Bun come home yuk!!" take Dina while she still sees her mother faithfully sitting next to the Sultan's grave.
"Ikhlaskan om Sultan bun's departure.we just pray that all the charity om Sultan is accepted by his side."
Pity Raftar and the twins if left at home with his aunt, bun!!" said Dina.
"Om.Sultan must be very sad to see the state of the mother like this.later there must be om Sultan so not calm."
****
Sania sat on the terrace alone like the previous afternoons.
Usually after teaching the Sultan must stop by to give snacks for the twins, greet and invite Sania to chat even if only briefly.
"Om Sultan is over, Syifa? since then the mother waited for the Sultan did not come through!!" sania said as her eyes occasionally led to the end of the road that the Sultan usually appeared with his matic motor.
"Mother..."
Hmmmm
"Mother..."
"Well, what is Syifa?" ask Sania.
"Om Sultankan yesterday just buried, bun!!" answer Syifa.
Long Sania fell silent as if remembering something.
"Oh yes, mother forgot.means the Sultan will never come again, yes!!"
Sania's tone seemed ordinary but from her two eyelids, tears were unceasingly dripping.
"Mother..." Syifa also hugged her mother while crying.
"It's not just the mother who misses the same Sultan, but we all miss him.
"Miss..."
Niko suddenly appears next to Nia.
"Would you come here again, Niko?" the look in Sania's eyes was flat on her.
"Sania.I know the Sultan means a lot to you, he's always there whenever you need him."
"Yes.he's the best and most sincere friend I've ever had!!" my answer.
"I was so happy to know him, to be around him, even though we weren't meant to live together, but I was so happy.
"Yes, he was such a good man that God quickly called him.
