The Unused Ex
Derogate


In the end, the news of the death of Mother and Father Maya was indeed true.


Both were involved in a single accident on the highway, after they returned from the market.


According to Bu Nila, he still had time to greet the two before the two left. And Miss Nila was the first to receive the news from Bryan.


According to Ms. Nila, the police officer tried to call Maya and Suhan's numbers. Both numbers are inactive. Then he called Bryan's number. Bryan called his son Nila's number. And ask for help that Ms. Nila make sure that her parents are really not the one who was in the accident.


Ms. Nila then went to the hospital and confirmed the identity of Mr. Teja and also Ms. Rahma in the morgue. After that Bu Nila told other residents about this sad news.


Thought Madam Indila, Maya and Suhan had learned of this sad news from Bryan. Because Bryan said that he would continue to call Maya's number to inform him of this news. But it turns out that Maya and Suhan are completely unaware of this news. Because both phones are equally lowbat.


"Oh my God, Mom.. Sir.. why are you so fast..?"


Suhan instantly pulled Maya into his arms. Patiently he rubbed his wife's back. While continuing to advise with fine sentences.


"Love.isthighfar, Love.. Remember the message of the Prophet.. Don't voice our sorrow for someone's death.. It will only aggravate their steps to face their grave later.. Poor Mom and Dad, Um.. Take their departure.. And let them go quietly." Suhan said softly.


Maya soon becomes a guest. She realized the truth of her husband's advice. Even so, he still could not stop the tears that still continued to decay from his two eyes that had been swollen.


'Allahumghfirlahuma. warhamhuma..' Inner Maya is now busy making prayers for her parents.


"Owekkkp...Oweekkk.."


Maya then heard the sound of her son crying. It was only then that he realized that he had been ignoring his son for the past few minutes.


With a quick motion, Maya breaks away from Suhan's embrace. Then she looked for Ms. Nila, who she thought was still holding her baby.


"Where are you going, Um..?" suhan asked still looked worried.


"Birrul cry, Bi.. Umi wants to give ASI first in the room. He's hungry maybe.."


Suhan was still holding his wife's arm for a while. But as soon as she saw Maya's gaze was much calmer now, Suhan let Maya go to take Birrul.


After seeing Maya's figure enter their room, Suhan rushed to prepare everything that needed to be prepared for the funeral procession of his two parents-in-law.

Bryan arrived home in Ashar time. At that time the bodies of Bu Rahma and Pa Teja will be brought to the local mosque to be prayed.


Bryan who was as strong as possible to hold back the tears immediately took ablution to bring his parents back to God. There was nothing that the young man could say when facing the condolences from the neighbors who greeted his arrival.


Everyone also knew that the young man must have been devastated by this sudden loss.


Maya herself did not take the two deceased to the cemetery. He decided to stay home, for the good of Birrul as well as himself.

After the funeral was over before Maghrib's time, Bryan met his brother in his room.


Behind him, Suhan watched the two brothers as they hugged each other in order to share the pain and sadness they felt together today.


"Sister.. Sorry Bryan couldn't be here sooner to accompany Brother.."


Maya stops talking when she feels her throat choking. The woman then turned her face up. In order to withstand the onslaught of sadness that had once again destroyed the current defensive wall.


'Yes Allah.. Please help us to let go of mom and dad.. Please give the best place in Your heaven to mother and also Father.' Mayan inner voice her hope again.


Meanwhile Bryan who understood the sadness of his brother no longer said anything. He could only embrace the old Maya in silence and the same poignant taste.


The two continued to embrace until the echo of adzan maghrib who was echoing from the mosque speakers near the house. The sound of his loud chant increasingly felt calling to the souls of those who are now too tired to face the test of life.


Until I finished, Suhan approached the two. First he patted Bryan on the shoulder and gave him a stoic smile. So Bryan then got up and took a sitting position on the edge of the mattress which is a little bit away from where Maya sat.


Suhan sat down next to Maya. Then rub his head gently.


"We pray maghrib first yuk. We pray at home. We congregate three.." invite Suhan with an authoritative voice.


And then, the three slowly moved to take ablution. Their current goal is to meet the Rabbul 'Izzati. The Creator of Every Powerful Thing in all this universe.

A week after the death of Brian and Maya's parents, Bryan left.


"Sister, Bryan went back to Yogya" said Bryan.


"Yes. Careful. Don't speed on the streets, Bry!" maya's message with a serious expression.


Bryan just nodded briefly. Before finally saying goodbye to Suhan.


"Sister.. Bry tipped Maya yes.. Please understand that sometimes Kak May is a bit crybaby or angry..Ouch!"


Maya doesn't let Bryan continue his sentence anymore. Because he immediately pelted his only brother with a sifa pillow.


"What a hell of a deal, brother? sick know!"


"Wild, wee! Anyway, so my sister is so insolent! How dare you mock your own brother!"


"Who is ugly too, Sister May, try? That's the fact, right? Kak May does sometimes like whiny the same mar-Kak Suhan! Bryan ran away first! Assalamu'alaikum!" pamit Bryan while running away.


He was so frightened when he saw Maya who was ready to beat him with a sledgehammer.


Watching the interaction of the two brothers, Suhan could only smile.


"You know, Um. Lessin little dong bar-bar her.. I am becoming Ummah now. Time is still a thug as well." said Suhan menganda the wife.


"What did you just say, Bi?!" maya asked as she widened her eyes to look at Suhan. The handkerchief that is still held by her while patting her also into her tiny hand.


"ee.. It's nothing. Anu, Um.. This morning it looks so pretty, right?" praise Suhan in a hurry.


He tried to save himself from the threat of a broom that could at any time float from his wife's hand later.
