Waiting for the Love of the Country
Chapters 87. Ask for Restu

Their first destination was Magelang. Arriving there, they immediately headed to the Tomb Park Hero Giri Tunggal. Andi's final resting place, and it turns out Zaydan is waiting for their arrival there. Cyra who saw the presence of her Papa there immediately rushed to hug her.

"Papaaa....!" cyra shouted running towards Zaydan.

"Don't run, baby, Cyra will fall!" zaydan said while arresting his daughter.

"Have it been a long time?" asked Febri to approach her future husband.

"Lumayan, Mas has finished two servings of pecel rice, hehehe" said Zaydan.

They sat around Andi's tomb, reading yasin's letter there. Still crossed in the mind of Gisya, the day that Andi buried here. She looked at Febri who was still praying staring at her late husband's navel. Then Gisya turned to look at Cyra who was sitting on Zaydan's lap.

"Mas Andi, I hope you're happy there too. Your wife and daughter will also be happy with Mas Zaydan. Let you be the most beautiful memory for us, and be our forever friend" Gisya said in his heart.

As the children begin to feel uneasy, Yuliana and Gisya take them to get in the car. It seems like the kids are getting tired and sleepy.

"Biw, I'm Idan. We're waiting in the car, yeah. The children are sleepy" said Gisya.

"Yes Ca, Lil. I'll be back soon, not long!" said Febri that was not good.

"Look out, Biw. Cyra want to come with Ummi?" asked Yuliana and Cyra shook her head and hugged Zaydan tightly.

After Gisya and Yuliana, Zaydan sat opposite Febri. He began to explain to the little girl, that it was her Papa's navel.

"Dear Cyra, this is Papa Cyra's grave. His name is Papa Andi, he's a very great man dear. Cyra must pray for Papa Andi." said Zaydan.

Cyra slowly came down from Zaydan's lap, as if understanding what his father said. He approached Andi's headstone, and kissed her.

"Papa Cyla banak" said Cyra smilingly looking at Mama.

"Cyra should pray to Papa Andi, son. Until adulthood, Cyra must still remember Papa Andi." said Febri while stroking a gravestone bearing the name Andi.

Zaydan also rubbed Andi's headstone, along with his future wife and child.

"Bang Andi, let me continue your fight. Allow me to take care of Cyra and Febri. I promise with all my body and soul to take care of them. Thank you for presenting a daughter as beautiful as Cyra. Until I will never let Cyra forget you Bang. Whenever, you are still her father. Only do'a can we offer you" Zaydan said to Andi's headstone.

Febri wept bitterly over her late husband's belly button. Seeing Cyra continue to yawn, Zaydan said goodbye first to his future wife.

"Supply in the car, yeah. Cyra is sleepy as it seems, pour your longing on her. After that, let's build our new life. Let them be the first love of our lives, and now you are my last love. I wish you were too. Let the good memories they left behind remain in the heart." said Zaydan then left Febri alone there.

Febri looked at the sky that was starting to cloudy, his tears were very difficult to hold.

"Oh my God, I miss him. Someone you called first. I always have trouble holding back my tears when I remember them. I just wanted to be hugged and leaned on his shoulder, and tell him what I went through without him. He's the only person I want right now" said Febri.

With tears streaming down his cheeks, Febri continued to stare at Andi's gravestone. He really misses the figure of the man who managed to seize his whole heart.

"I used to live in black and white, Mas. You are the one who made it color, all the colors you have painted in my life. Even though our meeting was brief, you managed to take my whole heart and world. There is a sense of chest tightness that I can't stand Mas, when this longing is unrequited. I want to see you, even if it's just for a moment." said Febri.

Again, Febri saw Andi's figure in his view. Andi looks handsome wearing her striped uniform. He smiled and nodded his head.

"Mas, Cyra and I need Mas Zaydan in my life. Not that I'll forget all about you. Forever, you will always be in my heart. You are my first love, but unfortunately God did not make you my last love. I will always keep your name, on the other hand deep within my heart. I love you, Mas Andi. Till whenever." - shrewd Febri.

"Mas does not ask for your whole heart, let Mas occupy it even if only a little. Forever Bang Andi will be the inhabitant of your heart, and my late wife will be the inhabitant of my heart. Right now, let's try to live a better life. I love you, Nursyifa Febriani." said Zaydan.

"Thank you, Mom. Thank you very much." said Febri who immediately hugged Zaydan.

Gisya and Yuliana who saw that felt very relieved and happy.

"Woooyyyy isn't LEGIT! Shrimp hug!" yuliana.

"Udah wants rain! Ayoo said she wanted to stop by Mas Andi's house" said Gisya.

"Come on, those two dwarves are already annoying!" said Febri then took Zaydan's hand to get into their car.

"Udah Rich Truck! Grandiloquent!" yuliana Ledek.

Two cars drove to Andi's residence, apparently the Andi family was very welcoming the arrival of Febri and Zaydan with joy. Even Andi's parents are very happy to welcome the arrival of Cyra who for years there is no news.

"Mother and Father are happy you still remember us" said Mother hugging Febri.

"I'm sorry Febri, sir, Mom. Febri shouldn't have acted that way to Mom and Dad. Once again Febri apologized sir, Ma'am." said Febri.

"You're not wrong, son. It's just the circumstances that did not take our side at that time, at this time we are very grateful you still remember us" said the father.

Since their arrival, Febri has not seen Ana there at all.

"Ana where's Ma'am? Is he still mad at Febri?" ask Febri.

"No, Son. For two years now he has been a volunteer midwife, currently he is volunteering in Lampung. He has also thrown everything away. He felt so guilty for Cyra. That's why he decided to devote himself to volunteering" Mother explained.

Zaydan began to discuss his good intentions with Andi's parents.

"Look at you, Mom. Actually, our arrival here wants to ask for blessing. I will marry Febri as soon as possible, I don't want to lose them again. I also visited Bang Andi's tomb. Right now I'm asking Mom and Dad for permission, will you guys approve of us?" zaydan said very carefully.

Father and Mother Andi hugged Zaydan and Febri together.

"We'll bless you, son. Thank you for taking our presence as your parents. God willing, Father and Mother will always pray. May you live happily and take care of each other, until you are old" said the father.

"Aamiinn, Father and Mother will remain our parents. Because Father and Mother are Grandma and Grandpa Cyra" said Zaydan.

Eventually Zaydan and Febri were able to breathe a little relieved. Staying tomorrow, they will face the union for the marriage submission.
