A Pair of Lotus Flowers

Everyone leaves me

I opened my eyes and looked at the ceiling of my room.I also saw my uncomfortable left hand that was attached to an infusion needle.Sound the sound of a child's cry so clearly in my ear.Akupun looked to my left side and there were 2 little angels looking at me crying.

"Mom, thank goodness you finally realized" said Sister Nadia.

"Sus, why me?" I asked the nurse.

"Yesterday mother fainted in the hospital so Mr. Beni brought mother home, but it turns out the mother fainted quite long.I was worried mom, fear why-why mother"

"Continue now Beni where's sus?"

"Pak Beni and others are delivering the body of Mr. Budi to TPU bu" said Sister Nadia hesitantly.

"Huh?Ja's..So papah died it wasn't a dream?My sister has to catch up with Beni sus, I haven't seen the final state of Sus papah."I said in panic.

"But mom, you're sick, you can't go to the cemetery alone mom."

"I don't care, I want to see my papah sus...!" I said while shouting.

"Later on, ma'am, wait for Beni sir to come back first."

"No, I want to now sus.Suster take care of the kids huh?I'm going to the funeral right now!" I said while trying to remove the infusion needle.

"Nara, stop Nara! " Shouted Beni who suddenly entered the room.

"Art?Ben, I want to see Ben's papah" I said in tears.

"You calm Nara, the papah has finished being buried, and then after you are healthy I take you to the papah tomb" said Beni while hugging me.

"But..But I want it now Ben, why are you makamin papah anyway?Why don't you wait for me to wake up, Ben?I couldn't see Papah for the last time" I cried.

"Sorry Nara, but you have fainted from yesterday, I also do not know when you will realize.So than an uncertain wait, I must make a direct makamin papah now" explained Beni.

"But I want to see Ben.."

"Yes, yes you calm down first.After your infusion liquid is exhausted, then I will take you to the tomb of papah.Now you rest again, you are the kecapean keep papah, papah,plus you're shocked when papah dies.I don't want you to why-why Nara."

"Well, I'll rest first.You're not going anywhere, Ben?Temenin I'm here."

"Dear, I'm here with the kids."

I finally went back to sleep, because actually I also felt my body was still very weak to wake up.In my sleep I dreamed, looking at the smiling papah while holding my hand and Beni.

"You can't be separated anymore, whether you are husband and wife or sister.What is clear is that you are both papah children, papah children must be happy" said Papah in my dream.

I did not feel my tears dripping and I immediately woke up from my sleep.I saw Beni who slept beside me while continuing to hold my hand and it turns out I just realized it was almost afternoon.

"Ben, wake up dong.I laper Ben, I also want to go to the tomb papah now" said I rubbed Beni's head.

"Yes Ben"

After I really realized, I tried to get up from my bed.Filling my stomach that has not been filled anything since yesterday.I also immediately prepared to go to the tomb of Papah with Beni and also the children.

****

Two weeks have passed since the death of papah.I am still not used to the absence of papah.Often I went into papah's room with the intention of inviting him to eat,but it turned out that the room was empty.I also still often call papah to play with his grandchildren.But it turns out that the call is useless.

(Night at bedtime)

"Nara, I want to say something to you" Beni said.

"What do you say, honey?" Askaqua.

"I...I'm glad I have to go to Singapore again."

Deg, my heart seemed to stop for a moment hearing Beni's words.I didn't think he would say that, but I didn't know it turned out Beni had to come back this fast.

"When are you leaving?"

"Maybe tomorrow afternoon, Ra.You know for yourself the state of the Princess is also still unstable."

"Yes I know, but does it have to be this fast?Papah just 2 weeks ago left me Ben.And now you also intend to leave me?" I said a little angry.

"I don't leave you for good Ra, I just want to fulfill my responsibilities."

"So you mean that now me and also my children it's not your responsibility anymore?"

"That's not what I mean Ra, you know for yourself why the Princess is so sickly rich.That's because she gave birth to my son Ra."

"It's not entirely your fault Ben, if the Princess is not stubbornly defending her son there's no way she's getting rich now" I yelled annoyed.

"Nara! I don't like you talking rich that way, even though Zio is still my son.He also has the right to live and the Princess has the right to make a choice to give birth to Zio or not" Beni snapped.

"All you care about all this time is the same Princess Zio.Have you never felt guilty about me and Azzura?Though I was equally tormented when I had to conceive Azzura, even without you by my side.But it turns out you never cared about the matter."

"Sorry Nara, I'm sorry I never meant to be rich" Beni said, hugging me.

"Ben, if you want to go even if I forbid you will go, right?I also promised Papah I wouldn't leave you again, so now all I can do is wait for you to come back to me again."

"Thank you Ra, thank you for waiting for me all this time." Said Beni while kissing my forehead.

"Yes, but you have to promise, you'll go back to me rich first."

"Yes, I promise you, baby, after everything is done, we'll be together again" Beni said, kissing my lips.
