The Heart of Old Menjakaka
373. Death is not cool
"What do you want?" A male nurse immediately blocked Juna's right arm, as the boy was about to enter the mortuary without permission. "Little children are forbidden to enter!"
"But I want to see my Om, sir! Is it true, Omku died?" Juna lifted his face, looking at the nurse. Her small eyes looked teary.
"Om Steven is really dead, Jun," said Nissa who was behind Juna with Tian. Immediately, he pulled his son's hand, then crouched down while hugging Juna tightly. "Mami know, you must be sad. But we have to go through all this, Juni."
"One more jamman. Steven Prasetyo's body will be delivered to the funeral home, ma'am. Please wait and calm down" said the nurse. Then go into the morgue and close the door tightly.
"This is all because Juna, Mi, Juna are guilty ...," said Juna and before long his tears flowed down both cheeks.
Although Steven is afraid of people who are angry and like to nag him, but Juna sure—if the man loves him very much. And keep in mind, too, without Steven's blessing, he wouldn't be able to see his mother marry Tian.
"Kok so you're wrong, honey?" ask Tian. He crouched down and rubbed the top of Juna's hair gently.
"Please tell me the truth, how did Om Steven fall, Jun?" ask Nissa curiously.
"It started with Juna who was into mangoes too, Mi, hiks!" Juna was crying. He felt this time, Steven's death was because of him.
"Then?"
"Then Jordan followed suit too."
"Continue?"
"Keep Steven to take. While Juna forbid it, but Jordan still wanted mangoes too until we finally put each other down. Scream. Juna forbids, while Jordan .. hiks! hyx! hyks!" It was not strong like he was telling a story, to the point that it was not finished yet as much as he pleased.
"Keep Om Steven's relationship to fall is how?" tanya Tian who still did not understand Juna's story.
"Om Steven slipped, as Juna and Jordan shouted. Keep Opa want to nangkep eh not hit. And finally Om Steven fell banged on a big rock. Fainting and bleeding .. hiks! Hicks!" Juna's tears broke. His chest ached to accept this bitter reality. "Sorry Juna, Mi. Juna is completely guilty."
Nissa rubbed Juna's back, trying to calm her down. "You should've let it go when Om Steven picked up a mango for Jordan, Jun. Let him quickly get down from the tree and you can go home."
"Yes. Juna is sorry, Mi."
"It's .. You're not wrong, Jun." Tian kissed Juna's forehead, then grabbed his body for him to carry. "It's destiny. To regret it is of no use."
"But what about the Twin Dedek and Aunt Citra, Pi? Poor them. Plus Aunt Citra is also an orphan." Juna hugged Tian's body, while continuing to sob.
Dada Tian sontak. To catch his breath, he also felt stifled. The water in his muddy eyeballs immediately flowed down both cheeks. He finally cried, along with grieving the fate of his nephew.
'From the many people in this world .. why should Steven that you take first? Why yes, God?' inner Tian was filled. 'And why also .. Again the image must suffer. It's not fair. He should be happy, God.'

Since Steven's death has passed Magrib, so it would be better if he was buried the next morning. An ustad suggested that.
Citra and Sindi were in the hospital, they were completely shocked and shaken. They need help from the hospital.
Sofyan, Maya, Jordan and Angga are also still there. Accompanying the two unconscious women.
The Twins were taken by Sister Dira to the house of Thunder and Gita. Both men were Nella's parents-in-law. Sofyan asks her to take care of the twins, Jihan and Johan.
While the ones in the funeral home are Tian, Nissa, Rizky, Nella and Juna.
Now, it's past Isya. Juna had been sitting pensively hugging his knees in front of the porch. His eyes looked forward and were so empty.
In fact, Juna had intended to invite Tian tonight to perform the first tarawih prayer in the fasting month of this year. At the mosque near the house of Angga.
Unfortunately, all of those intentions seemed to have fallen, as they were all preoccupied with their suffering. Until we forget the next holy month of Ramadan.
It has managed not to leave the 5 prayers alone it seems like it is already very grateful, for now.
"Om what's up, anyway? How was the game at Papa's house?" ask Kevin to Bejo.
He stared around at the mansion, a lot of strangers coming in as well as some cars parked in the courtyard.
Right now, she, Janet, Luna and Luki were in one golden cage. They're all having dinner with some apples.
"There's nothing" Bejo replied lying.
There is no real intention, only he is afraid that honestly—Kevin will ask to get out of the cage and disrupt the calm atmosphere of the funeral home.
Bejo doesn't want to take any chances. Plus Dono is also still on his way back to Jakarta, not yet here. He was the only one guarding the house.
"Nothing wrong with rame? Like people want a wedding. Oh ... or Papa Angga wants to get married again, huh, Om?" guess it.
"Not to make up for you, Vin! Where could Mr. Angga marry again. Where is he strong." Bejo bobbing head. Then he sat down in a chair at the post, then took his cell phone in a bag of material pants.
"I'm sorry, yes, Jun," Atta said as she walked over to Juna. He came with his father, and his father went into the house first. I want to pray for Steven.
They know Steven died because Atta's house was right across from Angga's.
"I know, this must hurt you .. Patient, Jun." Atta slowly sat down next to Juna, then grabbed her friend's shoulder while patting her gently. Seen now, Juna was crying without a sound. Her tears kept flowing down her cheeks. "Oh yeah, I heard from people ... Steven died when he fell from a mango tree. Isn't that right, Jun?" Atta's hand lifted, then wiped the tears on her friend's cheek.
Juna simply answered him with a nod of his head, then continued his crying activity.
"Not so cool, Jun, Om Steven passed away."
"What do you mean?" Juna opened his voice which sounded slow. He looked over with a frowning. He seemed confused by what his friend said.
"Yes, he's dead because he fell from a mango tree. That's not cool, you can die that way, Jun," replied Atta innocently. "Unless it's an accident, hit a car, shot or stabbed .. That's cool."
...How many lizard poisoning deaths, Ta? 🤣don't tell me it's gokil 😆...
