The Story of the Children of the Juragan
277. Funeral
Salman and Wulan, Fatih and Aisyah, Leon and Fatim decided to fly to Mecca. For that, they rented a special plane.
When they were ready, they headed to the airport. Their babies were also invited. In order to see for the last time their grandparents were buried.
Inside the fuselage, they were silent to each other. But their eyes implied a deep sadness.
So they all use sunglasses, to cover their puffy eyes and look flushed.

After traveling for about ten hours, they finally arrived at the international airport.
Two people from the KKHI side drove Salman's entourage to the body storage building. Waiting for the body to be buried.
Their feet trembled, as they entered the building. Their cries could not be contained, as they entered the corpse storage. Because he saw a row of bodies from his family.
They did not expect, if yesterday's vacation was their last vacation with his extended family.
Salman did not expect that his strange op-ed request would be his last.
Aisyah and Fatih also did not expect, if the tahajud prayer yesterday became the last Sunnah prayer for his family.
All the messages that the deceased said before dying, it was not just a message or joke. But it became a will that they were obliged to do.
Heavy, really heavy. But how else, that fate is not negotiable. Not waiting for the 'ready' word from us.
Abandoned families will try their best to carry out the trust.
They were in the morgue for quite a while. Due to contact with their cold babies, they finally decided to go out.

After an hour's wait, the bodies of Salman's extended family and his entourage were buried. Salman and his best friend took the bodies of his family to the funeral.
Just a mound of earth, upon which a stone was planted. Inside the mound, at the request of family members, their bodies were buried in pairs.
They sat down before the tomb, praying for them. Their babies were also invited to pray for their grandparents.
The babies seemed to know that their parents were sad, so they did not cry at all and looked like a henchman.
'Papa, mommy. Salman is very dear to both of you. But apparently God loves you more. So that He calls you in such good condition. May the Owner of life be pleased to meet and unite us in Jannah. And become this tomb, become gardens of heaven for you.' Inner Salman, while sharing a faint smile, even though his eyes are already glazed.
'Dad, mom. On one hand Wulan lost you both so much. But on the other hand, Wulan was very happy. Because you died in a good way. Wulan is very proud of you, who are not selfish and willing to accept the truth of the understanding that we hold now. Wait for Wulan in his paradise God later yes.' Inner Wulan.
'Abi and umi. You are the unmatched figure of an old man. Fatih will model what is good for you while you are still alive. And will keep close all your bad. Like Allah who has glorified you, by taking the path of Husnul khatimah.' Inner Fatih.
'Papa, mommy. Leon doesn't know what to say. It feels so sad to lose you. When Leon begins to mature, and is proving the seriousness of being a responsible adult, you leave Leon. But Leon was happy, because said your friends died in the state of Husnul khatimah. Leon envies you. Hopefully Leon can die in the way that both of you experienced yes.' Inner Leon.
'Mama, papa. Fatim was so shocked at the passing of you. Thank you for all the sacrifices you have made for me. Fatim is sure that Allah has given you a beautiful paradise.'

After being satisfied at the funeral, they moved to the hotel where his family was staying. To take his things.
After that, they stayed at another hotel closer to the cemetery for a while.
After all, being abandoned by a loved one is sure to be painful and so hard on the heart. So it takes a short time to be able to mengikhlaskan everything.

During the week at the hotel, they spent a lot of time praying for his family.
And one night, they got together and enjoyed dinner together.
During the meal, Salman apologized, because his family invited him to come together.
The pair of Fatih and Aisyah as well as Fatim and Leon had no issue with it. In the midst of the sadness they experienced, there was gratitude tucked away.
Because their families died in good condition. That is when in the position of prayer, and prostrate facing the Kaaba.
"May we too die in good circumstances, like our family that preceded us." Salman.
"Aamiin yes rabbal alamin." Reply they are compact.
"We also have to carry out all the trust that our parents and grandparents once said. So that they may be at ease in the grave." Fatih.
"Yes, that's exactly what you said." Leon Typhoon.
"Therefore, as soon as we have to go back to Indo. We continue the efforts of our parents. So that they're proud of us, and they can smile seeing that we can live the trust that has been given to us." Imbuh Salman's.
"Then, what about me? My dad has a business in Holland. While my in-laws have a business in Indo." Chirps Leon.
"That's your creed." Fatih and Salman said at the same time.
"Mas, the grand company is also outside." Wulan, who made Salman swallow the saliva.
