A Soulmate Because of Will

Chapter 29. The departure of Fathan

Ting...

Alisha's cell phone, there's a message coming in from Fathan

Brother Fathan

I'm leaving ya baby, i love you 😍

Me

Yes, brother, be careful. I love you too😍

Maybe that'll be the last chat from Fathan before going out of town. More precisely the last chat before he left Alisha for good. But Alisha brushed off all those thoughts, because she wanted to convince herself that Fathan would come back and marry her.

After replying to a message from Fathan, Alisha immediately went to the office despite the drowsiness still enveloping her because she was awake all night. As always, you can go on your favorite bike.

The same is the case with Rangga who forced to come to the office even though he was very sleepy because he stayed up all night.

Arriving at the office, they entered the room, and began to do their respective work. There was no serious chat about Fathan's request, they were just chatting about work.

While focusing on work, Alisha's phone rang. Alisha looked at her phone and it was called Mama Indah.

"Beautiful Mom called, what's wrong? How did I feel so bad?", inwardly Alisha.

Without waiting for long, Alisha received the call

"Assalamu'alaikum".

"Wa'alaikum greetings Alisha", replied Mama Indah with sobs.

"Ma, what's wrong? Why is Mama crying?", asked Alisha confused.

"Alisha, you're patient, son. Fathan had an accident on his way out of town" replied Mama Indah with tears.

"Continue now how is Ma?".

"His life was not helped Alisha, Fathan died on the scene".

"What Ma? That is impossible" Alisha said with a hysterical cry and dropped her phone on the floor.

"Kak Fathan.

Rangga who saw that, immediately approached Alisha. He picked up the phone that had fallen off, seeing that the phone was still in call with Mama Indah. Rangga tried to talk to Mama Indah to ask what had happened.

"Hello, lovely aunt. This is me Rangga, actually what has happened huh auntie?".

Beautiful Mama can only cry.

"Tante", call Rangga.

"Ladders, hiks.hiks... Fathan's been in an accident".

"Keep, how's it going now, Tan?".

"Fathan died at the scene".

"Inalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji. So now the body how's Tan?".

"His body is on the way home".

"Well, if it's Auntie, I'll be there soon with Alisha".

"Yes Rangga. Assalamu'alaikum".

"Wa'alaikum salam", Rangga turned off the call. And approaching Alisha.

"Alisha, be patient! Fathan's body is already on its way to the funeral home. Let's go there!", take Rangga.

"Sister Rangga, Hiks.. Hix... Hiks.", Alisha was still crying.

"We're getting married soon, but why did he leave me, brother?Does she not love me?", asked Alisha still with tears.

"Alisha, Fathan loves you so much".

"If she loves me, why would she leave me, huh? Answer Brother!. You can't answer, right?".

"Alisha, Istighfar Alisha. You can't be like this. Already, we better go to the funeral home.we pray Fathan together".

As Rangga tries to calm Alisha down, Rendy comes and walks into their study. Rendy came to deliver the sad news.

"Bro, Fathan crashed and died at the scene. Alisha's father and mother are already in the funeral home. We better go there to pray too".

"Yes Ren, I know. But the thing is, Alisha is still in shock and doesn't believe it. She keeps crying".

"Keep how?" asked Rendy.

Rangga shook his head, not understanding what to do because of seeing Alisha's condition like that. But keep trying to calm Alisha and persuade her to come to the funeral home.

"Alisha, let's go there huh!.", persuaded Rangga.

"You must accept this reality, you who are patient! We'd better go there and pray for Fathan and join his funeral".

Alisha did not answer, she instead stared intently at Rangga which made Rangga surprised and did not understand the meaning of Alisha's gaze.

"This is what you want, right?", with a sharp look and crying.

"What do you mean Sha?", asked Rangga.

"Are you happy with the departure of Brother Fathan?Because then you can keep the promise you made with Kak Fathan yesterday?. You received Kak Fathan's will right?".

"Alisha", snapped Rangga.

Rendy who saw the debate of Alisha and Rangga became confused. He did not understand the direction of their conversation.

"Sorry, Alisha. Not that I was yelling at you. But?. Well, we better get to the funeral home, we shouldn't argue like this".

"Alisha, where are you going?. Waitaminute!. Together with me and Rendy, please", prevent Rangga.

However, Alisha again ignored Rangga. He walked out of the office and waited for a taxi. He headed to the funeral home in a taxi he had booked.

Rangga and Rendy who were still silent on the spot could only shake their heads.

"Alisha, Alisha, even in this situation she is still being stubborn" Rendy said.

"Yes Ren, let's go to the funeral home!", asked Rangga.

Arriving at the funeral home, Alisha immediately hugged her mother, crying in her mother's arms.

"Mothers... Hix.. Hix.. ".

"Patience, son, you must be strong".

"But Ma?. Why did Brother Fathan leave alisha so quickly. We will soon be married. And everything was prepared as well. Why is God unfair to Alisha Ma'am? Why is it that when Alisha was reunited with Alisha's first love, God took her so quickly. Does God not want to see Alisha happy with Brother Fathan?".

"Alisha, Istighfar Nak. Can't talk like that. This is all fate, you must be able to accept this reality" said his mother.

And suddenly, Alisha fainted unconscious in her mother's arms.

"Alisha.. Alisha.", call her mother by shaking her body.

Mama Indah who saw Alisha passed out, immediately approached Ms. Almira, and she asked for help Rangga who happened to have reached the funeral home.

"Rangga, please take Alisha to Fathan's room".

"Yes Aunt".

Rangga takes Alisha to Fathan's room as ordered by Mama Indah, she lays Alisha's body on the bed. Mother Almira and Mama Indah followed behind.

After Rangga laid Alisha on the bed, she let out of the room.

"Then, Rangga excuse me to come out".

"Yes my son" replied Almira's mother.

After Rangga's departure, Mama Indah and Ibu Almira looked at Alisha who was lying on the bed. Feeling sorry for Alisha for the test that happened to her.

"The love of Alisha, she was so devastated. Moreover, the wedding event will soon be held" said Mama Indah.

"Yes ma'am", replied Almira's mother with a sigh.

"Oh yes Mom, sorry before. I'm here to look after Alisha" said Ms. Almira.

"Yes, you better be here with Alisha. I will come out to welcome the mourners and prepare the process of bathing Fathan because it will be here soon".

"Yes Mom".

After a few minutes, Fathan's body reached the place of grief. The body was immediately bathed, pardoned, and recited before being taken to the cemetery. After all was done, without waiting for long, the corpse was immediately taken to the burial place.

Everyone present accompanied the corpse to the cemetery, as well as Rangga and Rendy who participated. As a last tribute, Rangga entered the burrow in the funeral procession.

After the funeral procession is complete, then a prayer reading for the deceased led by the local ustadz. After the prayer reading was over, everyone went home except Rangga.

"Rangga, let's go!", take Hendrawan's father.

"I still want to be here, sir", replied Rangga.

"Yes, that's it. I first".

"Yes sir", replied Rangga.

After the people died, Rangga prayed for Fathan again. Then he spoke alone in Fathan's tomb.

"Fathan, I still can't believe this departure of you. It's too fast, Fathan. I was also still confused about your will yesterday. Should I be happy, should I be sad?. I promised to look after and love Alisha after your departure. But what about Alisha?. He doesn't love me, he thinks of me as a selfish person for having received a will from you".

"Fathan, I'm sorry all this time yeah, I've been a lot wrong with you. May you be calm there, may the khatimah. I will always pray for you. Yes, yes, I went home. I will come here often for you. Assalamu'alaikum".

Then Rangga stood up and when he was about to walk, in front of him was Alisha with her mother escorted by Rendy.

"Alisha? Mother?", said Rangga shocked by their arrival. Because Rangga knows Alisha is still unconscious.

"Yes, my son, Alisha is conscious and asks to be escorted to Fathan's tomb" replied Almira's mother.

Alisha walks towards Fathan's grave past Rangga. Do not say hello to Rangga, turning even a little towards Rangga was not. He sat down beside Fathan's tomb and prayed to Fathan. So too with Almira's mother.

Rendy and Rangga walked slightly away from them but remained in view towards them. Rendy and Rangga are still faithfully waiting for Alisha and her mother to finish praying..

While waiting, Rendy and Rangga chatted. Rendy asks what really happened between Fathan, Alisha and Rangga. Then Rangga told Rendy everything about meeting the three of them.

"Oh, so?. Then that's his premonition before he leaves us" Rendy said.

"It is like that" answered Rangga.

"Keep what's next?", asked Rendy.

"I don't know Ren, I'm waiting for Alisha's decision".

"Well, whatever your decision may be, may it be the best".

Rangga answered with a nod of his head.

After they finished praying for Fathan, they went home. Alisha and her mother are in a car with Rendy, while Rangga is in his car alone.
