Waiting for First Love to Return
The Reyhan Past 2

Mother immediately limp. There was no sound of wailing, no tears. Like a dazed man. Staring blankly at the Lastri before him.

"Prophe mbk." Clutching the body of Mother who was shocked by the news she heard. "God loves him more. He's a good man, God willing to get the best place. We can only have a chest." Soothing. Trying desperately to hold back the tears that were also ready to fall.

Reyhan rumbled, sitting on his floor with tears welling up. His bones seemed to be lost, unable to just support his weight.

"Dad.." It was the only mention that came out of his trembling lips. Lost was already the hope of getting a new roller skate as his graduation gift. Lost hope of seeing my father return to keep his promise.

"Dad won't break a promise, will he?" Ask yourself. Hugging his folded legs, hiding his face folded legs. Hiding the tightness of the chest that is getting squeezed, sick.

" This is a lie, isn't it a lie? Tell me this is just a joke. Adam must be home. "Seru Mommy took off the arms of the Lastri mpok, shaking the rough body of the Lastri mpok in front of him. Denying the news he heard. But Lastri did not answer, only a look of sadness on his face. Still without tears, there was only a terrible discordant laugh after seeing the answer.

"Prophe mbk." Hugging Mother to calm down. Only then did Mother's cry break, tears flowed profusely after being able to restore her consciousness. Able to digest what really happened. I'm sure this isn't a joke. It's not funny at all to make death a joke.

Seeing Mother's cry made Reyhan even sadder. Her chest is getting sicker. Weighing in on this harsh reality. His father, who had been working to meet their needs, now had to leave for good. Ah, at least that's what Reyhan understood. Because Reyhan never knew his father went to take care of his other son.

"Where is he, mpok? I'd like to meet you. Let me make sure myself." Firmly remove the rough tears. With confident eyes and ask for help to hitchhike until where dad lives. Because Mpok Lastri is among the rich in this area. At least he's the only one who's got a car on this rental track.

"Look there in unison. I'll be there too." Take the Lastri mpok.

Reyhan closed the door. Without changing her school uniform. So even mother still wears the same clothes when accompanying Reyhan to take the results of graduation.

Actually not too far from Reyhan's contract to his father's house. It took me three hours to travel. Passing the winding mountain roads. Right in the big house surrounded by tea gardens, cars stopped.

Reyhan looked around. Recalling that two months ago he was invited to this place for a vacation, as well as attending a wedding. Too happy to be invited to a vacation to the tea garden that he rarely stopped, Reyhan so forgot to ask why he had to attend the wedding ceremony. Don't care much, just think of finding a good meal for free.

The page is full of people who are ta'ziah. Sitting on a chair lined with a sad face down, there is also a sitting on a mat that is held.

"Cock here again?" Reyhan still recognized the address of this house. Try combining pieces of memories and drawing conclusions. But there was still much he did not know. Still need a lot of clarity.

Mother ran into the house, passing through a row of people without greetings. In the middle of the empty room, there was no sign of a corpse there. There are only a few people who recite the holy verses of the Quran.

"Where are Adam?" Ask the hysterical. Ask everyone, but no one will answer. It even got a shrewd look from everyone present. Being the center of attention. Until an unknown man approached.

"Sorry, mom. Please sit outside! "The government is subtle but firm. Pushing her frail body slowly out of the room.

"I want to see Adam." Reply Mommy is no less firm, with puffy eyes and cheeks tracing tears. Maintained pace.

"Sorry, this is special for the corpse family. Others please sit outside." Pointing to a rowed chair and a mat with his thumb.

"I am his wife sir. I'd like to see Adam for one time." Rengek Bunda begged, pulling the hand of the father was full of requests.

"Why can't we come in, sir? I want to see dad. I want to make sure the one who died was my father or not." Reyhan asked for sympathy.

The man seemed to think for a moment. And watch mama and Reyhan take turns. Consider.

"Please sir. " Begging.

"Sorry, the body is being bathed. Only his children and his brothers could take care of him. If you just want to see it should have come from earlier." Can't help. Cupping your hands in front of your chest as an apology.

"But I'm his wife." Mother lirih. It's almost inaudible.

"Where's the evidence?" Ask.

There's no evidence. Where could have brought proof of marriage certificate when hearing the news of the precarious? More precisely because there is no. There was never a marriage license. The marriage was not recorded at a civilian office. Just married religiously. Because they don't get the blessing of all their children.

"I proved. The proof is that I am his son. How could I have if this mother wasn't his wife?" Reyhan was almost stirred by emotion. Angry when you see someone questioning your honesty. Stir forward ready to kick. Little Reyhan has started learning karate.

"This is again grieving, do not make the opportunity to take personal advantage. If you want to make trouble don't be here." Hardik rough young man just came. Reyhan doesn't know his face. Just now meet.

"Who is looking for a chance? We're the ones who grieve the most here." Reyhan is getting emotional. Stepping forward, but being held back by Mother. He grabbed her from behind and pulled her out. Hugged tightly until it reached the other group.

"Why did Mother come out? I want to see if it's really the father who died. If it's dad why we're banned from entering." Angry Reyhan. Take off rough hug mom. But it was melted when he saw the sad face of Mother and looked at her full of requests to understand. It is impossible to be angry at a grieving mother.

"He's your father son. You will know later too. I'm sorry that you've been hiding this truth from you all along. " Mother hugged her youngest child again. Who can only be silent according to how to be treated.

How does it feel not to get close during the process of handling our father's body? It hurts so bad.

"We're here." Inviting Reyhan to sit down without letting go of a hug.

Can only stare from a distance the cloth-wrapped body was cut from behind, finished being purified. Not even seen again when the body of our loved ones will be wrapped in a shroud. Just look at the passing. Know-how has been poured to be sholated.

"Mother's "The sound of Rasya's new bang coming. She also wears her school uniform.

"I'm sorry Rasya came late, bun." Guilty speech. Mother only shook her head in return.

"Dad, Ra." Mother's crying broke again. Gagging his eldest son.

"Yes, gpp. What matters is his prayer, Bun. " Splap your Mother's back. Rasya is bigger than Reyhan. So it is still able to line the fingers of the Mother when hugging. Actually age is not much different. Only two years apart. But Rasya wins high, while Reyhan wins handsome. Eh?

"Do you know why we're barred from entering?" Tanya Reyhan probing. I think he's the only one who doesn't understand here.
