Waiting for the Love of the Country
S2 | Ending

Every story begins, there will be an end. The love story of Mother Gisya and Father Fahri becomes the beginning of this story. And that's the end of this story.

The sound of the monitor in the ICU room made the atmosphere tense, lying weak figure of a man who was once dashing and mighty. Fahri's father is now struggling between life and death, heart disease he suffered is now starting to chronic.

With the chanting of the holy verse of the Qur'an, Mother Gisya accompanied the husband. Do'a is unceasingly promised to God, so that the husband can pass through the critical period and return to hold each other, linked to each other through old age together.

Tit.. Tit.. Tit..

The monitor suddenly sounded, Mother Gisya approached her husband.

Father Fahri's eyes were slightly open, faintly he could see the wife's face. His hands felt cold, grasped by Mother Gisya. Unable to see the husband, Mother Gisya whispered to her husband's ear.

"Abangs.. Adek loves you because of Allah, Adek sincerely if you leave. So that you don't get sick anymore.. Wait there, Bang! Laa.. Ilha.. Illy... Laa.. Ilha.. Illy... Laa.. Ilha.. Illah..."

Tiiiiittt.....

"Innalillahi wa inna ili rojiun... Goodbye my dear husband, Adek loves Brother because of God. Single-minded, Brother... Husband, your fight is over. Your service to your country and your family is over. Rest my husband."

If you have to choose between breath and love. So I chose my last breath, to say 'I love you'. - Father Fahri

Grief flowers have been lined up all the way to the residence of Major General (Purn) Fahri Putra Pratama. The mighty General has come home to the Almighty. One by one the family began to arrive, Alan and Cyra came first because they lived in Bandung.

"Bun.." call Alan.

Mother Gisya could no longer hold back her tears. "My hero has fallen, son. He left Mother first, this heart is sincere but it hurts!"

Alan clutched the body of the Mother, "Courage Mother, God willing Father is happy to gather there with Oma, Opa and others. Mommy always says, if you go first, Mommy won't be burdensome with a protracted cry."

"Yeahhhhhhh....!!" shouted the two girls with severed breaths.

Indira and Elmira run, unable to believe that their first love has just left. Regret roars in the chest, they are not beside the Father until the last breath. For the duty of the wife of the state servant follows wherever the husband goes.

"Dad.. Dira's coming, why did you go livein Dira?" while crying roared, Indira hugged the body of the father.

"Dad.. It's Elmira, I'm sorry.. I'm sorry I couldn't accompany you to your last breath, dear Elmira. Can Elmira ask me to stay here. Banguun Ayaaah!" all the emotions were stirred up in Elmira's chest.

Regret accumulates in the chest, if only they live in Bandung, if only they come on time. But all regret is in vain, Fahri's father has gone to face the Khalik.

While Husain, as strong as his heart to keep him from crying, but everything can not be held back. Husayn rests in front of his father's body. "I'm sorry, Dad! Didn't Dad say you wanted to pick me up to play with twins? Why did Dad leave? Forgive Brother Daddy! I promise you, you'll be Dad's replacement. Brother will take care of Mother, Rara and Adek Dira."

Mirda, Dirga and Alana, as sons-in-law of course they also greatly lost the figure of Fahri's father who loved the family. Always the happiness of her children whom she prioritized, with a happy heart she delivered their daughters to the place of assignment with her husband. It even supported the decision of the only boy who now served as a member of the House of Representatives and had to live far apart.

For Fahri's father, seeing the success of his children and son-in-law was enough. "Father can go quietly, if the children are happy! Just wait for time, I'll wait for Mother at the door of Heaven." Those are the words he always said to Mother Gisya.

Taps.. Taps.. Taps...

The sound of footsteps made everyone turn their heads, Mother Gisya could no longer stem the pain in her heart. "Ruler.. Ebiws...."

The arrival of his two best friends is of course a strength in itself for Mother Gisya, she was held tightly by her two best friends. Without speaking, they also understand and understand the weight of life when abandoned by the people we love the most.

Papa Zaydan and Baba Jafran rest on the body of the friend. "Innalillahi wa inna ili rojiun... Goodbye, my friend, your struggle is over, officer. I'll take care of Caca and your children, be home for them to go home. Wait for me there" whispered Baba Jafran in the ear of Fahri's father's body.

"Bang, thank you for all your services in my life and Febri is also a child. Thank you for your love for this family. I promise you, I'll take care of the whole family until we get back together. Goodbye true centurion." said Papa Zaydan with tears that could no longer be held back.

Heroes Cemetery, that's where Fahri's father will be buried militarily. Mother Gisya accompanied by her two best friends walking behind the coffin covered by a red and white flag, she hugged tightly the picture frame of the husband. Elmira accompanied by Mirda, Indira accompanied by Dirga and Husain accompanied by Alana, also Alan and Cyra who helped deliver the body of Fahri's father to his final resting place.

As soon as the casket was inserted into the burrow, at that time the world felt dark. Mother Gisya fell unconscious, she could not bear to see all that.

"Mother!" scream them together.

"Ca, wakeup! Strong, Ca! Don't stay with all of us, the children still need you" said Ummi Ulil.

Mama Febri glared at her best friend, "Gisya must have realized, Lil! Don't fuck you!" snapped Mama Febri.

The sound of gunfire was heard, Ummi Ulil and Mama Febri continued to hold the fingers of Mother Gisya who was getting colder. The funeral was over, but there was still no sign that Mother Gisya would wake up. They immediately took Mother Gisya to the Hospital, while the children were still in the tomb and did not know the condition of the Mother.

They've been there long enough, "Mother home? How come there's no one here?" asked Husain with his blank look.

They looked at each other, "What's wrong? Why are you quiet?" ask Elmira.

"Readily wrong! The mother was rushed to the Hospital, because she was unconscious" said one of the aides.

Hearing that, they immediately headed to the Hospital. They do not want to lose the Mother, they do not want something bad to happen to the Mother.

While at the Hospital, Ummi Ulil and Mama Febri were already crying roaring. "Gisya Kayla Nursalsabila! Wake up! Don't break your children's wings, Ca! Wake Gisya!" yell Ummi Ulil.

"Repaintly! Awake, Gisya! O Allah, your love is so true, is this love as alive as possible?! Banguuuun Caaaa!!" yelled Mama Febri.

They arrived at the Hospital, their bodies stiffened again. "Mother!"

Elmira, Indira and Husain embraced the body of the Mother who had paled. Mother Gisya has left with her beloved husband, she has a heart attack due to shock. "Innalillahi wa inna ilahi rojiun!" mirda and Dirga said at the same time.

It was still unexpected that both of their parents would leave them at the same time. Indira and Elmira repeatedly fell unconscious, fortunately their daughter's son was guarded by some of their aides. Husain was the same, his body felt weak without bones.

"Mother... Fathering... Your love is truly true love, you go together leaving us here. Wait for us in His Heaven, may our families reunite there!" Husain spoke with sobs.

That day became the most painful day, the loss of both parents at once became the most profound wound. But they can't fight the destiny God has given them. The house was crowded again, even more so many mourners.

Father Fahri and Mother Gisya is indeed known as a perfect couple. So this time, the love story of both became a role model for other married couples. Their love lives on.

The body of Mother Gisya will be in one hole with the husband, and also with the approval of the relevant parties and their families. Elmira and Indira, the two daughters of Father Fahri and Mother Gisya embrace and strengthen each other. Both are not born from the same womb.

"Mother, we're happy to be your daughter. Mother is my role model, mother is everything to me. Now, Father and Mother are happy to embrace each other in the bonds of your love in the Heaven of God. Dira and Kak Elmira will continue the struggle Mother to accompany her beloved officer. Hopefully our love story will be as beautiful as the love story of Father and Mother," said Indira.

"Really, Mother. We will continue beside our beloved officers, we will continue to strengthen each other, Bun. Because there is no more power that Mother gives, even though I am not your flesh and blood, but I love you with all my heart. You must be very happy now in the Heaven of God," Elmira's sobs can no longer be contained.

Husayn holds both, "Abang will take care of Brother and Adek as Father commanded, now Abang's shoulders are ready to support Brother, Adek and also Abang's wife. Brother will look after you like Dad. We must live well, practice all the teachings and educate the Father and Mother of our children later!"

The loss was felt by Mirda, Dirga and Alana, as well as Alan and Cyra who had considered both as parents. "Father and Mother are my role models, hopefully later I can become a father like Baba, Papa and Father Fahri. Moreover, a miracle is now present in the womb of my wife, Cyra. Mother, Father.. You never have time to hear this, but believe me it is not spared from your do'a, so we will continue to pray for you!"

Alan's words made them all hug each other, a close hug surrounding the tomb of Father Fahri and Mother Gisya. Behind all the sadness, when we sincerely live it. God will give us the most beautiful thing in the world.

Farewell only applies to those who love through the eyes. For those who love with heart and soul, there is no such thing as separation.
