Evening arrived, Gio was already at Addhitama's residence. He did not want Addhitama to come alone.
"Tumben is so quiet, Om," asked Gio.
"It's like this, isn't it. Always alone and most with Rifal. That's also if he's not out of town."
A sad look of urat on Addhitama's old face. If you look at it like this, Gio is like seeing his own father. Surely his father was the same lonely man.
"Are you not lonely?" ask Gio.
"Loneliness is a true friend, Om."
It was heartbreaking for Gio to hear it. If, these three Addhitama children heard it, they would surely cry. Gio did not want to linger, he immediately took Addhitma to a fancy restaurant. Everyone was wearing white clothes.
Addhitama arches a smile looking at the all-white restaurant decor. That's his favorite color.
"Night, Om," said Rion.
Addhitma was slightly surprised to see Rion's presence. When he looked around all the invited guests he recognized.
"You're here too?" ask Addhitama .
"Sure, Om. If this party event is so, I must have come first. Eat free and wash your eyes," joked Rion. She even laughed at the dusk.
"Hi brother!"
The voice that is very Addhitama recognize. His lips curved up perfectly when he saw Genta greeting him. A longing-filled embrace is created.
"You ..." point it at the handsome man beside Genta.
"He's my grandson, Aksara."
"Geez .. Your charisma is amazing" Addhitama said.
"Thank you, Cake." Aksa gave a sincere smile.
Luxury parties with expensive food are served to invited guests. Moreover, the music played is old music.
"It's like our reunion show" Addhitama told Genta. The two grandfathers who were still very gallant laughed in satisfaction. It's like going back to youth.
They both laughed. Addhitma's sorrow melted away when her friends at school attended and greeted her. Light chatter and laughter etched on the old face Addhitama. From a distance the three Addhitama children smiled happily.
"Newly this time saw Papih's face is very radiant," said Rifal.
Radit and Rindra nodded, confirming what Rifal had said. Addhitama's old song request and all the guests who grew up in that era sang along. Echa embraces the husband's arm. He stared at Haru towards the in-law.
"It turns out all this time Papih just pretended to be happy in front of us. Unlike the one we see now. Her happy hue was very obvious."
Radit could not say. He just nodded slowly and his heart always prayed for the health of the beloved Papih.
No time has shown at nine. All the guests were seated in their own places. So also with Addhitama who is already sitting in the front seat. His forehead shriveled when all the guests were arranged to sit.
"Now, we've come to the top of the show" the host said.
Suddenly the lights in the room went off, and the piano sounded. The floodlight highlighted a person who had just stepped out from backstage. Addhitama was silent when he saw his first son.
🎶
You are my breath
Who keeps in my life
You taught me to be the best
Addhitama Kelu's mouth when he heard Rindra singing a song. Behind Rindra, Rifal was already holding the microphone and singing the next verse
🎶
You never get tired
As a support in my life
You gave me all the most beautiful things
Addhitama can't talk. His body is locked. He saw his two sons singing in front of him.
🎶
I just called you dad
When I lost my direction
I just remember you, Dad
If I were far away from you
Radit's voice rang out and contained all the tears as he sang a ref of the song Father from the band Seventeen.
From the left and right direction, Addhitama's two sons-in-law held the hands of his children who carried white Lily flowers. Addhitama was astonished that his grandchildren and his two daughters-in-law were present here as well. They gave the white lily to her.
"Happy birthday, Opa" said the four grandchildren.
Addhitama's tears were flowing very hard. His grandchildren hugged Addhitama's body very tightly.
"Don't cry, Opa," said Rio, Addhitama's first granddaughter. His little hand gently wiped the grandfather's tears.
Likewise with the triplets who have kissed Addhitama's cheek.
"Hopefully Opa will be well" Aleena said.
"Long umul," Aleesa continued.
"Always accompany us" Aleeya added.
Addhitama's heart is truly happy. Everyone who saw it could not help but cry.
"Happy birthday, Papih" said Echa with a fluffy smile.
"Thank you for accepting us to be Papih's son-in-law. Part of the Papih family" continued Nesha.
Addhitama's tears fell and the two daughters-in-law embraced Addhitama's body.
"Just keep on going, Pih." The prayer that Echa offered to her father-in-law was extraordinary.
"We still need Papih's guidance" Nesha said.
Addhitama said nothing more. His heart was deeply moved and happy at the same time.
"Rubber ...." Rindra's voice was heard again. Her three children are still on the mini stage. Everyone turned to look at the stage. Three handsome men are still holding their respective microphones.
"There are no words you can say, other than thank you. There is no sentence that you can say for all the affection and services Papih so far, other than thank you. There are only a million words of thanks you can say. Until whenever you will never be able to repay all the affection that Papih has given." Rindra's voice was already heavy. Both of his sisters were deep.
"When you are naughty, Papih is not angry. When Abang was on the wrong path, Papih patiently led Abang to the right path. Papih is a very great man who is in your life. Papih is both a wonderful father and mother." Addhitama's tears are flowing. His two sons-in-law embraced Addhitama's hands from left and right.
"When a husband who was left by his beloved wife was competing to find a new partner, Papih was busy taking care of us who were naughty. We who with different characters, Papih continues to try to be a mother for us. Although Papih knows, Papih can never be like Mamih." Addhitama nodded with the roar of tears that had wet her cheeks.
"Happy birthday, Pih. Healthy always and long life. Continue to accompany Brother and Brother's two sisters because we still need, Papih."
Rindra got off the mini stage and slightly ran towards the place where the father was sitting. He sat down in front of Addhitama and kissed Papih's hand for a long time.
Addhitama hugged the body of his eldest son. They shed their joy and happiness in tears.
"The seed loves you very much too."
"Rubber ...." Now Rifal's beacon is heard.
Addhitama and Rindra who had hugged parsed their hugs, gazing towards the mini stage where the usually hilarious Rifal turned heartily.
"Everything has been described by Brother. Only a thank you can Ipang say to Papih. Papih is a very meritorious person in Ipang's current career. Papih is also the single greatest parent Ipang has. Being able to hide all the sadness of Papih in front of Ipang and also the two Ipang brothers. Papih tries to be okay amid the sadness that has no end. Ipang knows, Mamih's departure makes Papih very hard hit. Just for us ...." Rifa's voice vibrated. He paused his words for a moment.
"The seed survives and becomes a strong man. Just for us ... Smell against that sadness." Rifal raised his head upwards holding back the tears he wanted so badly to fall. All the invitations had already wiped the ends of their eyes.
"Never get tired of reprimanding and scolding Ipanh and also Ipang brothers if we are wrong. Never stop educating us so we can be like Papih." Rifal tried to smile towards Addhitama who was already crying.
"One thing Ipang asked Papih. Accompany Ipang to Ipang to pelaminan. There's nothing Ipang has anymore, other than Papih." Rifal's tears were dripping as well.
"Happy birthday, Pih."
Rifal ran towards Addhitama and hugged Papih's body tightly. He spilled out all the feelings in his heart including his sadness.
"The company of Ipang to the pelaminan. Just as Papih accompanied Abang and also Radit. Enough Mamih to go." This is the true heart of the second son of Addhitama. Everything he keeps close, including his fears. He was afraid that Addhitama would not be able to see him interrupting the woman of his tribe.
"Just healthy, Pih," said Rifal.
A night full of joy felt by all the guests. A beautiful curved smile on Radit's face that was still on stage.
"Rubber ...." Raditya showed his voice. Addhitama's eyes now turned back towards the stage. Not to hear Radit's words, Addhitama was already crying.
"Thank you for accepting Radit when everyone called him Mamih's killer. Thank you for trying to heal the invisible wounds that Radit suffered. Even at that time ... Radit wants death. Radit wants to catch up with Mamih. Too sick, when all of Radit's friends have photos with his mother, but Radit has no memories of Radit's own mother. The mother who gave birth to Radit into this world also sacrificed her life for Radit." Radit's tears are growing. His voice is already shaking.
"If Radit can bid to God .. better Radit who died than Mamih who must not survive and leave two children who still desperately need the attention of Mamih. Also died a husband who loved her very much." Radit tried to catch his breath, before continuing.
"Among Radit's two brothers, Radit has a very sad story. Radit did not know a mother at all. Never felt the warm touch of her hands, her milk, nor her sling. Radit grew up with only the affection of a father trying to take over a mother's duties."
"The wean is an amazing father. Despite the busyness, Papih still took the time to feed his three children. When we were sick, it was Papih who kept us awake. Take us all to the hospital. Papih just got home."
"Papih's affection for us we can never reply. Papih's affection is all the time, whereas our affection is only along the pole. Thank you, Pih. Thanks for everything."
"Happy birthday, stay with Radit until Radit's grandchildren are born."
Addhitama stood up and spread his hands towards Radit. His youngest son ran and hugged Radit's body very tightly.
"Thank you, Son. Has grown into a proud child though, only half the affection you receive." Radit can't speak.
The two Radit brothers embraced Radit's body and also their Papih. This is the form of affection of the three of them to the Papih.
"Happy birthday, Pih," they said.
All the guests gave a thunderous applause. Someone came to bring a birthday cake towards Addhitama, namely Satria.
"Happy birthday, Brother Addhit."
What an immeasurable happiness that Addhitama felt. On his sixtyth birthday he felt real happiness. The love that her children and their daughters-in-law give.
The show continues, the music continues to be heard. They enjoy the food that is available there. So also with the three sons of Radit who have taken this and that. Echa who has spoiled with father and also Papahnya. Radit joked with his two brothers. Only Nesha has no family here. He just smiled smirk.
Suddenly his nephew clasped Nesha's hand. Take him to the corner.
"What's Aleesa?" ask Nesha.
"Aunty Mamih is missing Aunty Mamih's mother, right?"
Aleesa's question made Nesha flinch slightly. He stared questioningly at Aleesa, a child who possessed abilities beyond ordinary human reason.
"Sebental," Aleesa said.
The boy closed his eyes. It is like communicating with other creatures. Nesha was a little confused as she watched Aleesa tear up.
"Aleesa, what's wrong with you, honey?" Nesha was starting to worry.
"Hold Brother Sa's shoulder" he said.
Nesha followed what the money ordered by Aleesa. She immediately saw her mother smiling sweetly at Nesha.
"Don't feel alone, Sha. Mom's been by your side all this time."
"I-mom," said Nesha.
The passionate longing that Nesha is alone is now being treated because her mother is in front of her.
"Mother is happy because you are happy now. Got a very wonderful companion for life. Your husband's family is also very nice. I'm calm, Sha."
Nesha could not say, she could only shed tears. Staring fixedly at his mother for him to keep in his brain memory so that he does not forget this meeting.
Bruk!
Suddenly Aleesa's body fell down and she fainted. Nesha shouted until everyone rushed towards her. Especially Rindra, she immediately approached Nesha as well as her two brothers.
Radit widened his eyes underarm seeing that his second daughter had become unconscious. He immediately led her backstage to a deserted place.
"I'm sorry Ma'am, Dit," he regretted.
Radit smiled and shook his head. Echa already holds her second daughter, while Iyan is checking on Aleesa's condition.
Rindra hugged the wife's shoulder. He knew Nesha was scared for fear of being blamed.
"Aleesa can not be an intermediary for too long" said Iyan.
Echa and Radit looked at each other. They knew that Aleesa had done something.
"It's also recovering soon" Iyan continued.
Now that Iyan was staring at Nesha, he approached and grabbed Nesha's hand.
"Mother Aunty wants to say goodbye" said Iyan.
Everyone stared at Iyan who was already tightly grasping Nesha's hand. They also saw Nesha crying so bitterly.
"Mom's gone, son. Your job next to yours is done." A smile expands on Nesha's mother's face.
"Om Rindra, hold Iyan's hand again." Rindra followed what Iyan ordered.
Rindra's eyes widened perfectly when she saw a woman who was always in his wife's wallet.
"Mother."
"Jaga Nesha and Rio yes, son. I'm leaving."
Iyan let go of his hand. Nesha was already crying and Rindra was already hugging his wife's body.
"The way that a lot of tears shed happiness" said Rifal.
"Rubu ... Brother Sa lapal."
Aleesa's words that turned out to be conscious from his stupor made everyone laugh.
