The Perfectionist 2: Aerospace
Pamite

The Moon funeral procession was over, the mourners seemed to return one by one to the bereaved families. But Igan, Bintang, Mr. Hendro, Darren and his papa, Hendrawan still surround the mound of red earth that still looks wet and fragrant with a lot of flower sprinkles.

"Mother ... Mother ...." Igan wailed softly above the Moon's belly button.

The star seemed so devastated by the departure of his beloved wife, even though the Moon died from the pain he had dreamed of, and later the doctor had spoken to the family if the condition of the Moon was getting serious.

The puffy eyes from shedding too many tears appeared on the faces of Igan and Bintang, a clear look implying deep sorrow.

After a long time they were in the navel of the Moon to teach and pray, finally Hendrawan as a good friend of the Star tried to persuade the friend and his son to return home.

"Bin, maybe we should go home. The mourners who have just arrived must also be waiting for you at home. Ikhlaskan Mbak Moon, Bin. Your wife is a good man, God willing she got a beautiful place there." persuaded Hendrawan.

The star just nodded, then he rubbed his face and took a deep breath.

"Come on, kid, shall we go home? You also have to wait for Tia and your baby in the hospital right?" invite the Star while embracing the shoulder of the son who is still crouching beside him.

Igan did not reply, he still remained in his original position.

"Come, Son! Mother certainly does not like to see us wailing like this. Pray for Mother, that she may forgive all her sins." The star rose and took his son home.

Igan nodded, "Yes, Dad."

The five of them left the cemetery. Mr. Hendro has stepped up and entered first into the steering cabin of the car.

"Bin, son Igan, sorry we have to go straight home. There are important things we have to take care of. Again, we are sorry. You guys have to be sincere and stoic, huh?"

"Yes Hen, thank you very much. I'm on my wife's behalf sorry if she's wrong? I'm sorry my wife can't help Danisha." said Bintang.

Hendrawan nodded and smiled, then patted his best friend on the shoulder.

"Yes Bin, nothing. I also apologize for not knowing that your wife is sick. Then ... Excuse me first huh, Bin? Take care of your health."

The star hugged the friend tightly, "Thank you Hen, thank you. Hopefully Danisha will finish her business too."

"Amijn .. aamiin ...."

"Well, um?" darren said as he shook the star's hand.

"Yes, thank you Darren? Be careful on the road."

"Good, Om. Oh my God, excuse me?"

Igan nodded and tried to smile, "Be careful, thank you Darren."

"Assalamu'alaikum" Hendrawan and Darren said shortly before moving on and getting into their car.

"Wa'alaikum salam ..." sahut Igan and Bintang.

Tia and her baby have been transferred to the postpartum care room. Faintly, he saw someone step closer to him.

The longer, the clearer. The person was very familiar to Tia, especially with her charming smile as Tia had seen.

"Mother?" tia said as she saw the person standing nearby.

Tia saw her mother-in-law coming to her house by herself, wearing clean white clothes and a radiant face.

"Mother alone?? It was Mas Igan to ..." asked Tia, she looked astonished.

Moon just nodded and smiled gently at Tia, then she rubbed the head of the granddaughter who was asleep in the baby box next to Tia's bed.

The moon seemed to be smiling happily at her first grandchild, as she continued to gently stroke him without saying a word.

Tia was stunned, she felt that something was different from the figure of the mother-in-law who was in front of her.

Why do Mother look different? thought Tia.

The moon stopped stroking her beloved granddaughter, then she turned her head and looked at Tia. The mother-in-law's soothing smile returned best to Tia.

Tia opened her eyes, her net was busy sweeping the entire room of her treatment room. However, there was no one but him and the baby because Hendra was going to the pharmacy to make up for the medicine.

"Mother ..." muttered Tia with teary eyes.

She wanted to contact her husband to ask what had happened to her mother-in-law, because Igan had not contacted her at all.

Suddenly the door of her room opened and Hendra poked out from behind the door.

"Sir Hendra ..." call Tia.

Hendra looked in surprise at his sister, then rushed over.

"Why, Deck?"

"Mas Igan isn't here yet? She called to Brother?"

"Not yet, and .. don't call either. Why why?"

"So Mother Moon came here alone, Sister. I'm sure, there must be something going on with Mother." said Tia.

Hendra let out a long sigh, then sat down and placed the medicine on a small table by the side of the patient's bed.

"You're dreaming, aren't you, Deck?" ask Hendra.

"Yes, I'm a dream but it feels like a real dream, brother! Mother why yes? I'll call Mas Igan!"

But not until Tia called Igan, his phone was ringing first. She rushed to get a phone call from her husband.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma. I just wanted to call you though. What's up, Mas?? How did you call?"

Igan did not answer, across the phone he was still trying to strengthen himself so as not to continue crying.

"Mas??" reproof Tia.

"Yes dear, wa'alaikum salam." Igan's voice sounded stingy and a bit hoarse because a lot of crying earlier.

"Why are you, Mas? How is his voice different? Kayak ... Did you cry??"

"Honey, you're not okay if there's the same Mas Hendra first?"

"Yes .. nothing, Mom. Butwhy? What's up??"

"I'm sorry, I can only say it now because I'm afraid you're sad. Your condition is just giving birth, so Mas don't want you a lot of thoughts and sad."

"Mas, to the point just to me, because I'm sure Mother why. Aye right?? I just had a dream Mother came here and snorted our child, Mother looks very cool."

Hearing his wife's story, Igan could no longer hold back the tears. He sobbed, and repeatedly called out 'Mother'.

Tia was stunned, she was even more convinced that something had happened to her mother-in-law. She was silent for a while, giving her husband a chance to control himself.

"Mother, Mother, there is no dear! Mother died and a few minutes ago just buried."

Tia was flabbergasted, the news of the grief jolted like lightning in broad daylight.

"Mother ... died??" he mumbled in disbelief.

"Yes dear, Mas and Dad also did not expect, Mother will go so soon. Though Mas peg gave happy news to the same father Mother, but .. This news has arrived first."

"O Allah, innalillahi wa innaailaihi rooji'uun ...."

Benak Tia glared and turned back the events in her dream just now. His tears flowed down his cheeks, he remembered all the kindness and affection of the mother-in-law who always treated him like a child herself.

That dream was real! Is it possible that Mother came for a farewell? Mother also looks very cool when she saw her grandson was born. O God, accept the Mother at Your side with the provision of worship that Mother has done, and forgive all her sins and filial piety. Aamiin ....
