The atmosphere of the haru enveloped Maisie's funeral. Dozens of people delivered his body. Families, close relatives, teacher representatives, close friends of Maisie, and seven core The Vagos were flocking to the cemetery.
Farah was still crying, her only daughters had now left the world. Willy, the husband continued to rub Pundak Farah, hoping to give a little peace.
“Bu, let's go home.” Take Willy then.
One by one, the people left the funeral. Now only the two parents Maisie, Aleyza, Athaya, along with the core of The Vagos other.
Farah shook her head with tears flooding her cheeks. “Maisie, Dad. She's our only girl to have left us.” Replies.
Willy looked at his wife's concern. He felt the same deep loss. Farah was crying loudly while hugging Maisie's headstone.
“Bu, earlier I was sorry. But, I still don't know what Maisie died of?” ask Athaya carefully.
Farah straightened her body again, she stared at Athaya. His hand was raised to rub Athaya's back for a moment. “After you take her home, she went somewhere. Then, he did not go home for long and went straight into the room to lock himself up. Long time not out of the room, obviously made us worried about his condition. We tried to call Maisie, but unfortunately there was no response at all in the room. Because it was getting in the daze to worry, the mother's husband also broke down the door of Maisie's room. After the door opened, Maisie was found..”.
Farah smothered her mouth, unable to continue her words.
“Maisie was found lying just like that on the floor with a foamed mouth.” Willy continued to make Aleyza and Athaya surprised instead of playing.
“But..., Maisie did deliberately end his life by consuming some hard drugs to overdose.”
After hearing the continuation of Willy's words, Aleyza and Athaya compactly rounded their eyes. Meanwhile, Farah's cries grew louder in her husband's arms.
“Om, seriously? Maisie's sister killed herself?” ask Athaya still can't believe it. The man's heart was pounding with shock.
Willy sighed heavily, then nodded. His hand reached into a letter that was in the pocket of his black shirt. “Om found this letter next to Maisie, written to Aleyza,” he said as he thrust the piece of paper to Aleyza.
Aleyza quickly accepted it.
Unknowingly, Aleyza's tears are now flowing rapidly after reading the letter. Athaya who read it did not expect, Maisie who loved him so much chose to give up by ending her own life.
“Sister Maisie bu...., suicide was due to ak...., me?” aleyza asked with a blank look. His body felt limp right then and there, what was this reality? Wh why? Why is he insensitive to the feelings that Maisie craved for her lover?

It's been two hours since Aleyza cried in Athaya's arms. The girl really felt devastated by Maisie's departure. What's more, Aleyza also felt the cause of Maisie's reckless killing her own life was because of her.
“Zayang, this is not your fault. No, don't cry gini. I do not like to see you sad gini, Na,” said Athaya still trying to calm Aleyza. He could feel that the girl was shaking her head in his arms. Athaya doesn't care about her shirt getting wet from Aleyza's tears.
“I'm wrong, Tha. Because I'm Maisie's sister feeling hurt. Suppose I know he likes and loves you terribly, I can succumb to Tha origin do not make Brother Maisie as reckless as that.” Aleyza was crying louder in Athaya's arms. The girl's back trembled violently, making Athaya unceasingly stroke her with gentleness.
Athaya broke her embrace and rubbed Aleyza's cheeks wet with tears. The girl's entire face was reddened from crying for too long.
“If I let you get close to Maisie, at least over time. You can like him, Tha. So, you can reciprocate her feelings and all this will not happen,” Aleyz said again. Still blaming yourself.
“Za, hey! Don't talk like that! No matter how close I am to him, if the person I love is you, what should I do? Should I lie to my own feelings? No way, right?”
“But, he likes you. Can't you just react to her feelings? At least, with you who can respond to her feelings. He won't end his own life, Tha.” Aleyza lowered her head. His tears still flowed.
Aleyza was silent as she continued to cry.
“Za, yes. Maisie's sister is also not there, she has left and that's also for her decision and destiny. Either me, or you shouldn't constantly blame each other. Stop crying, Za. You also have to think of the people around you who are worried about your current condition, Zayang.” Athaya.
Aleyza again raised her head. He stared right at the two black beads belonging to Athaya. Millik's shady gaze of the man seemed to be able to give a radiance of encouragement to him.
Without a long time, Aleyza again splashed into the arms of the man. Athaya gave a faint smile. He returned Aleyza's embrace was no less tight.
“Zayang can not cry anymore, my heart always hurts when you cry gini.”
That sentence was a sedative sentence that Athaya always said if Aleyza was crying.

“Zayang, eat first yes dear.”
The weak arm on Aleyza's head made Athaya sigh heavily. Since yesterday, the girl had not put the slightest food into her stomach. Aleyza continued to ponder in tears as she recalled Maisie's death.
In fact, Farah and Willy had asked the girl not to think too much about the harsh reality that had just befallen them all
“Darling, at least kasian yourself,” said Athaya again, still trying to persuade Aleyza.
“Eyzayang, eat little dong. From yesterday you did not eat, if you are sick we are all sad.” Timpal Aidan looked pityfully at Aleyza who was pondering in front of the window.
“Za, you don't feel sorry for Athayang? He's like a crazy man knows! In fact, at school he could not focus because he was worried about the condition lo,” Adelard said.
Athaya immediately looked at her brother with a headband, as if giving them a warning not to say it.
“Zayang, little aja.” Athaya thrust a mouthful of soup into Aleyza's mouth with a spoon.
“Nmobile.” Reply Aleyza.
“Za, don't gini. Don't worry, what do you want? Tell me, I follow you as long as you are not moody anymore yes.” Tawar Athaya's. The man's hand was raised to gently stroke Aleyza's head.
“You forgot? Aunt Farah same Om Willy has told you not to be sad and do not need to feel guilty, Zayang.” Athaya.
Aleyza remained silent, not responding to Athaya's words.
“Tha, where are Aleyza's parents? Kok from earlier did not look at.” Ask Aidan. Because, since earlier since coming to Aleyza's house they all did not see as great as the presence of the girl's parents.
“Biasalah, you know yourself Aleyza parents how.” Reply Athaya.
“tha?” call Aleyza in a voice that sounds raucous. “Eyza bad girl huh? Eyza... killer right?”
Athaya stared furiously at Aleyza. “Don’t talk like that! It’s not true! You did nothing wrong and you are not a murderer!”
After that, there was a long silence there. The atmosphere of Aleyza's living room felt so awkward.
