A MAN I DIDN'T EXPECT

Episode 35's

"sorry the bodies should be brought immediately, excuse me" said one of the sisters.

Dika did not answer there was only the sound of sobbing and clear lips that continued to flow from his eye fertilizers.

"angel" called Bu Eka who suddenly realized from his stupor.

"mother calms down first Ma'am" said the doctor who tried to calm Ms. Eka.

Ms. Eka shook her head while crying, while Dika was still in her original position.

Dika ruffled his hair violently, his cheeks kept wet even though he occasionally brushed it off violently.

Eka looked at Dika who was sitting on the floor.

"When "he called her softly but was clearly heard by Dika, she turned to the voice with a sad face.

Tests...tes...

Clear thread flowing from her second eye, Dika moved from the seat and approached Bu Eka .

They hugged each other tightly.

Both of them were dissolved in a sobbing.

A few moments later.

"the body dock is ready to be taken to the cemetery" said a nurse who approached the three of them.

"alright sus, thank you for taking care of my daughter's body hiks..hiks...".hiks..." Dika stroked Bu Eka's back gently.

Trying to strengthen the heart of a mother who lost her only child, and Dika already considers Bu Eka like her own mother.

Actually Dika's heart was broken until he was unable to express what he felt now.

Now Dika guided Bu Eka to walk until they had arrived in front of the hospital.

There was already 1 ambulance parked in front of the hospital, they were both standing next to the ambulance.

Time lapse .

3 Nurse came while pushing the cage and put the body in the ambulance.

Dika and Bu Eka entered the ambulance, both of them sitting next to each other.

Angel's body was right in front of them, Dika tried to hold back the crying as well as Eka she held back her sobbing.

Because he didn't want his only daughter to see herself cry.

But the fortress that Eka built was not strong enough to withstand the deep cries and sadness.

Dika kept patting Bu Eka's shoulder.

"Angel you're the only one you have but why do you go stayin mami hiks...hiks...hiks.." getting sobbing.

"why did you pick up Angel so quickly, I was alone Pi hiks..hiks.." he continued.

"mami I know it's hard but we have to be klas, because if we keep this up Angel will be sad there.

I also feel sad like mami" said Dika while holding the dew on her eyes.

It did not feel the ambulance had arrived at the funeral, immediately out of the car and followed the steps of the nurses who were taking Angel to the final rest.

Dika continued to guide every step of Bu Eka's foot, they arrived in front of the burrow.

There are already Mr. Ustadz and some neighbors near Bu Eka, as well as school friends Angel and Dika .

Slowly Angel's lifeless body was lowered into the hole. Until he is put to sleep on the ground, one of them opens some rope that binds Angel's body. Ma'am Eka came back crying this time louder than before.

Ms. Eka did not expect this to happen so she hoped that this was all a dream that was present only a moment ago she woke up.

But the events that occur are not dreams, this is a reality that he must face alone without a husband figure.

Her husband died first in a car accident.

Bu Eka already does not understand with his own feelings, he just recovered from his pain left by the figure of the husband now he must feel the pain and bitterness left by Angel.

His life now feels bland without the figure of both, because the husband and his son are the spirit of life for him.

"Angel why do you leave me the same mom, I love you so much you promised never to leave me no matter what" whispered Dika with a sad face.

Dika and Bu Eka sprinkled flowers on top of Angel's vortex, Dika put 1bucket of Angel's favorite pink roses.

Now that Mr. Ustadz started to recite prayers for Angel, all of them helped to guarantee the prayers of Mr. ustadz.

After praying, he asked ustadz to be strong in dealing with the events that happened today, because we will all be lying on the ground.

"all that live shall surely die, none shall be everlasting but Allah SWT. So we as a human race must accept the destiny of the power, because it's best for" said Mr. ustadz.

"yes sir I will try ihklas, but for now it is still difficult for me. Because it happens too quickly " replied Bu Eka with a trembling voice.

"all need a process, just enjoy every process because it will certainly not be difficult for us to pass. And never be disappointed with the destiny God has given us.

Surely there will come a time when we meet those who have departed from this world"

"I and my neighbors joined in mourning the death of Angel's daughter mother may her worship charity be accepted by Allah's side, we said we went home first mother "part sir ustadz.

"assalamualaikum" they said together and left the cemetery.

Now leaves Dika and Bu Eka who are still sitting next to Angel's grave.

The hearts of the two of them were still reluctant to leave that place.

No sound or words came out of the lips of the two, they were just quietly focused with their respective minds.

Bu Eka rubbed his son's headstone with tears soaking his cheek.

"Honey hope you are calm there, and hopefully meet with papi huh. Although Mami did not know whether to be strong or not to face the day ahead hiks ..hiks ..hiks ..." his head lowered his right hand to embrace Angel's new tomb.

"Angel thank you for loving me so much, and thank you for everything you've ever done for me. You've been coloring my day all this time, may you calm down there" Dika's inner, unconscious cheeks were wet with fluid flowing from her eye sinks.

Dika wiped away her tears.

"mami let me take you home this is starting late in the evening" persuaded Dika.

Ma'am Eka shook her head.

"mommy still wants to be here, Dika"

"but it's already evening, let's go home mami we pray from home huh"

"alright" in short.

But it still feels hard to leave the funeral, slowly Dika back to guide Bu Eka .

After coming out of the cemetery area, it turns out that Mr. Firman, the personal driver of Bu Eka, is still waiting.
