Happy reading..


*************


By late afternoon, the new Putra arrived at the Villa. Anthony who had heard the sound of a car entering the yard immediately ran outwards.


The son was a little late, because he had stopped to fill the gas and buy something as souvenirs for Anthony.


“Papaa!.”


“Hey, be careful Anth”


“( Hey, liver – liver Anth )”


The son who had just got out of the car spontaneously exclaimed as he saw Anthony galloping from inside the Villa. And Mr. Abdul also ran behind Anthony.


The son crouched down as he grabbed Anthony who had been scattering on him. “Don’t run like that, you might fight, Anth .. (Don't run like that, you could fall down, Anth .. )”


“I miss you Papa!.. (I miss you Papa!.. )” Sahut Anthony who looks happy to see the presence of the Son who has returned to the Villa.


The son spontaneously smiled.


“I miss you too, Boy (I miss you too, Son )”


“What’s in your hand, Papa?..... (What's in your hand, Papa? )..”


Anthony showed the look of his curious face while holding the hand of the Son who was carrying a thick bag in one hand.


“Is it for me?? .. (Is this for me?? )..” Ask Anthony enthusiastically.


“Heemm..”.


“Is it a toyyy?!... (What are toys?! ) ..”


“What do you think (What do you think? ), Hem?”


“I want to see!!... (I want to see!!.. )”


The son spontaneously snorted amusedly as Anthony grabbed the fast string of the bag that the Son was holding while forcing the Son's hand to remove the rope and give the parcel like a shopping bag to him.


“Ask nice.. (Please ask well.. )” Said the Son who was already rested with one leg bent in front of Anthony, smiling.


“Could you please give that to me, Papa??... ( Could you please give that to me, Papa??.. )” Pinta Anthony who listens to the Son's speech to politely ask. The son raised the corner of his lips.


“Well, since you are a good boy .. (Because you're a good boy ... )” Say Son. “Sure, I will give this for you (Of course, I will give this to you )” Son also gave a package of shopping bags that he held on


Anthony was very happy.


“Yeayyyy!! ..” Excited Anthony.


“Be careful Anth.. (Beware Anth .. )” Excited Son spontaneously because the boy ran again to get into the Villa. “Don’t run that fast! (Don't run that fast! )”


“Okaayy.”


The son snorted amusedly once again while shaking because even though he said, Anthony still ran into the Villa with his joy.

Garret, Damian and Addison were sitting in the Villa's living room when Putra came inside the Villa and soon joined the three brothers. “Where’s Bruna? (Where is Bruna? )” Ask Son.


“Go with Anth upstair (Go up with Anth )” Damian Sahut.


“Heemmm”


“Satisfied already?... (Have you been satisfied? ... )”


Addison grinning.


“Of?...... (On?.. )”


“Re-charge your belongings to your beloved nurse”


“(Replenish your longing for your beloved sister )”


The son chuckled at Addison's words. Garret and Damian chuckled as well.

“Did Girl called you this noon? (Did you call me this afternoon? )” Ask Son to Anthony while they are together in their room all this time after dinner. Anthony nodded. “Are you feeling sleepy? (Are you sleepy? )”


Anthony shakes. “Not yet (Not ), Papa”


The son pulled the corner of his lips.


“Then, what do you want to do now? ..”


“(Later, what do you want to do now? ) ...”


The son glanced at the clock in his room and indeed the bedtime for Anthony had not arrived.


The son asked again, but Anthony did not immediately reply.


“What is it, hem? You don’t like the toy that I bought for you? .... (What's up, hem? You don't like the toys I bought for you? )”


Anthony shakes.


“No Papa, I like it (No Papa, I like it )”


“Then why look a little bit gloomy? ( Then why do you look a little grim? )”


Son rubbed Anthony's head.


"I'm okay, Papa.. (I'm fine, Papa.. )" said Anthony. “Papa ..”


“Hem?.”


“If someone’s dead, then he or she will be burried right?.”


“(If someone dies, then he will be buried right? ) ..”


The son did not answer. He looked at Anthony for a moment. Anthony's question made Putra think of both of the boy's parents


‘Is Anth is missing Rery and Madelaine now?.... (Is Anth missing Rery and Madelaine right now? ) ...’ Inner Son.


“That’s it, right (Right so, not ), Papa?.” Ask Anthony again.


“Yes it is (Yes true )”


“Then they also burried, Papa? .... (Then they too were buried, Papa? )..”


“Who?.. ( Who? ) ...”


“Daddy and Mommy Anthony said, and at once the face of the Son became a little grim.


“..............”


“Yes Anth ... ( Yes Anth ) ..” Putra Sahut. “Padre. was gave Daddy Rery and Mommy Madelaine a very great funeral and they were buried in the good land also (Padre ... already gave the best funeral event to Daddy Rery and Mommy Madelaine and they are already buried in good soil also ).”


The son held bitter in his heart.


Anthony mangosteen slowly.


“Where they were burried Papa?.. (Where are they buried Papa?.. )”


“Your home.. (Your house is in Ravenna... )” Answer Son.


“So from here, right? ... (It's a long way from here, isn't it? ) ...” Anthony.


“Yes it is... ( Yes ..... )” Sahut Putra.


“Too bad ... (What a pity ) ...”


“Why?... ( Why? ) ...”


“I want to bring Mom’s favorite flowers for her. Which Daddy like it too ..  And put it to their grave yard. But


too bad, our home is very from here .


“(I want to bring Mom's favorite flowers for her. Which Daddy also likes ...  And put it on top


their tombs. But what a pity, our house is far from here ).”


‘Oh Anth ..’ Getir enveloped the Son's heart. “One day we’ll go back there .. or at least to visit Daddy and Mommy... I promise .. (Someday we will go back there .. or at least to visit Daddy and


Mommy .. I promise .. )”


“Really Papa? .. (Is it true Papa?.. )”


The son smiled and nodded.


“Yes and promise... (Yes I promise... )” Say Son.


“Papa ..”


“Hem? ..”


“Are Daddy and Mommy in heaven now? ... (Are Daddy and Mommy in heaven now? )”


“Of course they are (Of course ).”


“So they must be happy now, yes, Papa?.”


“( So they must be happy now, huh, Papa? )..”


“Of.. courses.. (Of course ... )” The son was a little stuck and he still showed his smile in front of Anthony.


“I’m happy then .. (I'm happy then ) ..” Anthony said with a smile. “Can they hear me, if I say something to them? .. (Can they hear me, if I say something to them? )..”


“Sure.. ( Certainly .. )” Sahut Putra. “They can hear you, they will hear you .... (They can hear you, they must have heard you .. )”


Anthony pulled the corner of his lips, while the Son's eyes had already begun to glaze over. But still, the Son showed also his smile.


“Go ahead . if you want to say something to them ... (Let's say... if there's anything you want to say to them ) ..” Say the Son while sitting Anthony on his desk that leads to the sky


seen through the window.


Anthony nodded, then the boy looked up at the night sky from where he was sitting.


“Daddy, Mommy.. I miss you so much .... I’m sad, because I can’t see both of you anymore.. But I’m happy, because Papa Putra said that both of you are already happy in heaven now. and must be not feeling pain anymore because.


of the shoot from that bad guy.


“(Daddy, Mommy... I miss you guys so much.. I'm sad because I can't see you anymore.. But I'm happy, because Papa Putra said that you two are already and happy in heaven now .. and must no longer feel pain due to shots from the evil man.)”


‘Oh Anth.’


“Daddy, Mommy, don’t worry .. don’t you be sad, because I’m not lonely, is come my mommy .. I call her Madre, and Padre to Uncle Ad. And called Uncle Dami and Garret with Daddy .. and Uncle Son .. I call him with Papa. And I love him so much! Just like I love Daddy Rery!.”


“(Daddy, Mommy, don't worry.. You don't grieve, because I'm not alone .. All my uncles became my father now, and aunt Bruna, became my mother .. I called him Madre, and called Uncle Ad with Padre. And calling Uncle Dami and Garret with Daddy . and uncle Putra. I called him Papa. And I love him so much! Just like I love you Daddy Rery! ... )”


“Oh An-th ..”


Where the Son can no longer hold back his tears not to spill.


“Forgive me, huh? (I'm sorry, huh? ) ..” Son cupped Anthony's face.


The voice of the Son sounded trembling, as his tears were falling down his cheeks.


“Forgive me, because I have no chance to save your Daddy and Mommy.. I’m very sor-ryy.”.


“(I'm sorry, because I didn't have a chance to save Daddy and Mommymu ... I'm really begging ma-aff.. )”


“Don’t cry Papa ... (Don't cry Papa ).” Anthony memorizes the tears of the Son who has soaked the cheeks of the Son.


The son was increasingly broken with both hands that grabbed Anthony's body in front of him, there was pain following a heartache that wrapped the Son's heart tightly.


“I’m sorry.. (I'm sorry ) ..” Lirih Putra's. “I’m so sorry.. (I'm really sorry ) ..”


“Please don’t cry Papa ..... (Please don't cry Papa )..”.


“My Mistake Anth .. My mistake .... My mistake because I make you lose them ... (My fault Anth .. My mistake ... My fault for making you lose them )..”


“No Papa.. (No Papa.. it's not Papa's fault )..”.


“..............”


“Becide, Papa saved me.. (After all, Papa saved me )..”.


“Those good people at Ravenna who saved you before I came (The good guys in Ravenna who saved you before I came ... )”


“But you take a very good care of me after .. (But Papa took very good care of me after ).” Anthony Sahut.


“That’s because I love you that much, you know?..... (It's because I love you so much, you know?.. )”


“I know Papa .. (I know Papa... )” Anthony nodded. “And I love you that much too .. (And I love you too... )”


“Thank, you (Thank you, thanks ) , Anth ....”


“And promise that you will stay by my side forever? (And the promise that Papa will stay by my side forever? ) ..”
