TRAPPED IN THE PAST STORY
CHAPTERS 171. DANIEL'S PROMISE.

Now Daniel and his two children entered, the first time he saw his wife's face without using a ventilator. The natural face of his wife is clearly visible, the face of the wife who was long asleep looks beautiful but the beauty of the wife is second to none.

Lord, thank You for giving me the chance to see his smile.

Seeing his wife smile at him made his heart warm.

"Mother .... Zy and I came." said Ecka cheerfully as he ran towards Shasha.

"Ecka mother's child ..." said Shasha lirih.

"Ay ..., I came with our two children" Daniel said happily, holding his wife's hand.

Unable to resist the longing Daniel kissed his wife's forehead repeatedly tirelessly.

"Dad ... I also want to kiss mom." said Ecka who teased her father.

Hearing that Shashsa smiled at the son and began to tilt her head slightly so that the son could kiss her.

"I miss you" said Ecka, kissing his mother.

"Mother too."

"Who's our daughter's name?" ask Shasha lirih.

"Zyva Himalaya .." replied Daniel.

"A good name" Shasha said with a smile. "Ecka mom's son. I'm sorry for you. If the time comes please listen to mother's words. Be a good brother and an example to your sister. Love her and take care of her." said Shasha, stroking her son's hair and cheeks.

"Mom surely, Ecka will." replied Ecka unsuspectingly.

After talking to her husband and son, Shashsa kept silent while smiling and nodding.

Daniel who saw his wife was silent with a smile and nodded was astonished by who he was smiling at.

"Darling, are you okay?" ask Daniel.

"Yes. Honey, do you love me?" shasha asked her husband.

"Sure, you doubt?" daniel asked a little saddened by his wife's question.

"Absolutely not" Shasha said as she shook her head.

"Why are you asking that question?"

"Because I want you to promise to be strong" Shasha said as she looked at her husband's eyes.

"strong? I've always been strong Ay, you know for yourself my abilities when we're honeymoon." Daniel joked to his wife.

"Everything, not just that" replied Shasha, revealing her pale lips.

"Surely Ay, I will always be strong. It's all for you and our two children." replied Daniel straightforwardly.

A few moments later Daniel saw his wife talking to herself while breathing deeply and sleeping. Then there was a sound -

Agt ........ Tit.

Oec .... Oec ....

The doctor and nurse came in to check on Shasha's condition.

Daniel invites his two children out of the room.

***

"Where are we going?" ask Ecka to his father.

Daniel did not answer his son's question he just took a deep breath while walking towards a room right where his wife was now.

Why are you silent, not answering my question?

What the hell is it?

Ecka did not dare to ask his father again, because he saw his father's face just like when his mother had not realized.

Why is everyone there crying?

Wait ... It's not that grandpa, Oma and Opa.

Uncle, aunt and auntie what's wrong with them?

Papa Erza and mama Jihan are also here.

But .... Why is everyone crying?

What was??

God .... What's wrong with my mom?

Why mother?

Ecka wondered in his heart. He repeatedly saw his father's face and stopped his steps.

"Why stop, son?" daniel asked, looking back at his son who did not want to be held by Daniel.

"What is this, Dad? Wh why? Answer Ecka's father." asked Ecka.

Daniel crouched down and hugged his son.

"Dad ... I can't say it."

"Why? Does this have anything to do with my mom?" ask Ecka curious.

Daniel nodded.

"Is mom not?" ask Daniel Ecka.

Daniel hugged his son tightly.

Ecka's tears drenched Daniel's clothes. Her son's cry was so felt on his shoulders. He himself who was crying tried to hold back by closing his mouth.

"Take me to dad's mom? I want to see mom."

Soon Daniel took his son and ran to the room where his wife was.

"Mother ... This is Ecka Ma'am.... I answered Ecka!" ecka shouted as he got down from his father's arms and ran towards where his mother was lying.

Melly and Joshka who were holding Zy saw her first grandchild crying near her mother, they could not hold back tears. No exception, everything there is.

Daniel himself who was beside Shasha had no power to resist the crying that he had been holding.

Erza who saw her sister-in-law crying near her sister began to approach and stroke her sister-in-law's shoulder.

"Daniel .. ikhlaskan your wife. Now that he had calmed down, the pain had disappeared. You see his smile ... He seems to be leaving quietly."

"Dad .... What Papa Erza said was right. Mom smiled at me."

Daniel still did not want to raise his face he chose to keep his face near his wife's hand.

"Daniel ..., you're patient son. Not only you who feel lost but all of us." said Joshka calm the child alone puppet.

"It should be the father who left first why should be the father's son" said Idris who approached his son.

"Don't talk like that, dad. The death of a person cannot be asked for and avoided. Death will come without knowing the time, circumstances and age. Therefore we who live must sincerely release and pray because later we will also wait for the turn to wait for death to pick up. It's Shasha's turn, brother. He died after surgery for something" Erza said, calming everyone, especially her father and sister-in-law. "We who are left out must be patient, you see my brother is smiling, he is no longer feeling pain. Please look at her my sister." Erza said as she trembled.

Daniel was aware of his brother-in-law's words. He immediately raised his head and saw his wife. By wiping his tears he tried to accept everything.

And so did his father-in-law, who was trying to be strong. Melly who had been holding Zy felt the same pain, she also dissolved in tears now trying to wipe away her tears. Although he was only a father-in-law, Shasha was his life-saver for saving Daniel from kidnapping.

Since then he has been trying to protect Shasha from all sorts of death threats made by Leon, his former best friend who is vengeful to his son-in-law. Shasha is the source of the death of his beloved son, Zavier.

Now Melly has wiped her tears, as much as possible she strengthens her heart to release her favorite daughter-in-law.

My dear son-in-law, go quietly. Mami will always love you until anytime, mami's love will not fade even though our world is different.

Mami will help Daniel take care of your two children.

Melly said in her heart while hugging tightly Zy who was being carried by her.

Not only Melly who was aware of the words of Shasha's sister, but, Sally the mother who was sitting limply looking towards Shasha slowly started to get up on the papah by Jihan to walk towards her daughter.

"Mother loves you Acha, Nesha Himalaya Ayesha. Your beloved daughter, mother sincerely let go of you, your pain has now disappeared. Go quietly, all of us here will always look after, educate and care for your two children" Sally said, kissing her daughter's forehead.

***

At a cemetery that is quite simple but still looks luxurious Daniel chose a final resting place for the wife. He who was standing next to his son was wearing a black shirt complete with skullcap adorning his head.

The look on Daniel's face was so tangled, he looked weak and unexcited, the look of sadness on his face was still visible. He did not sincerely let go of his wife but the sadness still touched his feelings because it had been abandoned by his soulmate.

Seeing Shasha's buried body, Daniel's heart felt tight. He imagined that after coming home from here he would never see his wife again.

Warm smile, soft greeting and fragrant aroma of coffee, cuisine and perfume his wife will not feel again. All that remains is a beautiful memory.

Now the cemetery has been decorated with a name engraved on the tombstone scattered various colors of fresh flowers that are usually in the ground of the grave.

My wife, Nesha Himalaya Ayesha ....

I let you go not because I didn't love you, but ....

I let you go because I know it's best for you.

Wife ....

Thank you for your six years of service as my wife.

Forgive me for not giving you much happiness, unlike you who have given me immeasurable happiness.

I promise that I will take care of the two sources of happiness with all my heart, I will educate and make him an independent man and woman, intelligent and courageous like you.

Rest in peace...

Wait for me there, we'll gather in heaven.

I love you my wife ...

Daniel spoke in his heart when his wife was buried. His still grieving heart was clearly emanated from his face. The tightness in his heart was still so felt, he still imagined after this he would not meet his wife again.

He closed his eyes deeply accompanied by tears that spilled from both eyes.

Now one by one the men who led Shasha left the tomb, only Daniel and Ecka left and a man far from Shasha's tomb.

"Honey, let's go home." take Daniel to his son.

"Wait dad. Can I ask you a question?"

"Please,"

"Are you going to get married again after you're gone?" ecka asked flatly while looking at her mother's grave.

"Why are you asking like that?"

"I just want to know my answer."

"Do you think that question should be answered?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Pater's prayer is only one, I want to always match your mother both in the world and in the hereafter. And the purpose of my life today is not to find women but I will educate, accompany and deliver you and Zy to become successful people like what my mother and I aspire to be.

***

Seventeen years later on a world-famous campus.

"Congratulations Son for your success" Daniel said.

"Thank you dad, it's all because of you. I have kept my promise to never replace my mother with another woman. It turns out that what you said was right, you were the greatest dad, you were able to take care of Zy who was only a few weeks old. Great dad. Thank you father." said Ecka while hugging his father tightly.

"Why did you hug for so long? I'd also like to." whine Zy to his father and brother.

Ecka approached his sister. Now they both embrace each other. Zy congratulated her brother.

Daniel is powerless to hold back his harrowing cries, his two children growing up without the caress of a mother have now grown into the children he and his late wife dreamed of.

EXPIRE.

After Shasha's death, Daniel decided to go to school and give his son full love. He chose to be a widower. It became HOT DADY. He did not care about the words of his business partner who asked him to marry again and questioned how about his sexual desire.

For Daniel, a sexual desire is indeed a need of every human being but he set it all aside with a lot of worship and exercise. He filled his activities with work and care for his two children, and always took the time to visit the grave of his wife every Sunday.

With his busyness, Daniel never felt lonely even though there was no adult woman beside him. For him, happiness is not only his own but also his two children. Even without the presence of a mother in the midst of Ecka and Zy but parents, in-laws, brothers-in-law, cousins and friends are so loving to both of them that they never feel a lack of affection.
