Tsunami Wedding
14. After Hafiz Goes

Event after the funeral Hafiz went smoothly, during that time Khadijah either had passed out how many times. He could not accept this bad fate. Hafiz's departure was really sudden, the child was just saying goodbye to sleep instead of dying. If only Khadija had known, perhaps he had never allowed Hafiz to sleep at that time, he thought.

***

The day passed so quickly, it did not feel that now it had been three months Hafiz left Khadijah and family. His mother and father Khadijah and Malik had returned to the village. Life must go on, though the heart still feels pain.

Sustenance, death, and a soul mate are not men who govern. But losing the most precious person, is really painful. It was very desirable for Khadijah to replace the position of his son who died. But that's impossible for him to do. Currently, Khadijah was lying in the room while staring at a photo of Hafiz who was laughing while holding a trophy.

Chequek!

Malik went into the room and saw his wife like that, "Sad may be, but don't be lamented, Jah."

"Hafiz is afraid of the darkness, Bang."

"But Hafiz will not feel the darkness, for God must give light to him. Hafiz a good boy, even he'll take us to heaven."

Khadija wiped her tears while she stood, "Abang want breakfast?"

"No need to eat breakfast at the office. Which risk?"

"Riska's still clothes!"

"Remove your tears, Jah. It's not good to see Riska."

Khadijah nodded, he came out of the room and washed his face. Malik is right, there is Riska who needs her affection. During these three months, Malik was really patient with his wife. He also lost a child, but he knew a mother was the one who lost her child the most.

"Why mamak?" Riska came out of her room.

"No pa-pa, son."

"Sir, Riska's going home with dad today, right?"

"Why?"

"Pengen," said Riska while grinning.

"Yes already" Khadijah stroked his daughter's head.

After breakfast, the two say goodbye. Not forgetting Khadija kissed her husband's hand. "Be careful on the road, yeah!"

The clock shows at 10.00 wib, Malik felt tired because a few hours just looking at the computer since. He went to the cafeteria to order a cold sweet tea, then he sat down in one of the buyers' chairs.

He reached for the phone in his pants pocket, confused about what he finally opened one of his social media. "Lisa," he muttered with a smile.

A picture of a woman with her son near a palm tree with a smile. Yes, the woman is Lisa, a neighbor near her house.

"It turns out Lisa's pretty, too" murmured Malik.

He pressed the button with the message, and then he wrote something there. [The beauty ..] Not to forget, he also gave a smiley emot and also an emot kiss there.

The tring!

The message was apparently immediately responded by Lisa, [Newly aware yes, Bang? Where have you been all this time? Hehe!]

A surprising answer, because Lisa answered him kindly. Suddenly his cunning soul Malik thrashed, starting from a short message on social media, now they become closer. Even Malik invited him to meet in his cafeteria. He also assured Lisa no one knows, because in the housing complex they are only Malik who is an engineering person, while others are part of the plant, field, and so forth.

The clock shows at 10:30 wib, coinciding with that Lisa coming there. "Old huh, Bang? Sorry!"

"Not long, really. Oh yeah, what message would you like?"

"Drink, Bang."

While waiting for the drink to come, Lisa and Malik exchanged jokes. "Your husband isn't angry, is he if we meet here?"
