ALVIN Trying to Rise

Sleeps

...Happy Reading's...

.................

Alvin was silent with his sculpting body, he did not expect that his grandfather could fall asleep again with prayer clothes that had not even changed.

He smiled then shook his head faintly, then went in to wake his grandfather up.

"Grandfather, he said he could not sleep if it was dawn, even now, Grandpa, who slept anyway," Alvin said.

Usually his grandfather will be very angry if Alvin sleeps again after dawn prayers, he said later the rejekinya drag, first pegged chicken that has been crowing since the morning blind.

"Grandfather, Ass–" Alvin fell silent as his hand came into contact with his grandfather's hand.

It felt cold, and very limp, it was not like a sleeping hand.

Alvin again saw his grandfather's face, he just realized that Grandpa Darman's face looks pale.

"Grandfather, can't go to bed early, let's get up," said Alvin whining slightly, shaking his grandfather's hand. His heart was already out of shape, with the mind wanting to reject the reality that exists.

However, his grandfather did not open his eyes, not even responding to Alvin's call at all.

"Grandpa, get up, don't joke, Alvin doesn't like it" Alvin said again, now switching to the other hand.

Alvin's eyes were already flushed, with the vision blurred, blocked by the water piled up in the fertilizer. His chest felt tight, so it was difficult to breathe.

"Grandfather, get up, don't stay in Alvin." Alvin continued to shake his grandfather's body with tears that had fallen. His mind was muddled, he only wished that this was all just a dream.

"Grandfather, wake up, let's get up, open his eyes, don't sleep early in the morning and get his luck pegged to the chicken." Alvin continued to fumble, he was really not ready to be abandoned by the figure of his father's successor.

He even forgot to call others, his body was limp, his legs seemed to have no energy to just concentrate on himself. His heart was broken, witnessing the reality that had returned to him.

While in the kitchen Imran who felt Alvin had been too long in the grandfather's room, took the initiative to follow, let alone he heard the sound of crying from his grandfather's room.

However, when he was at the door, he turned back to look at Alvin who was already crying while hugging his grandfather's body.

"Alvin, what's going on?" imran asked as he walked over to Alvin who was still trying to wake his grandfather up.

Alvin turned to imran who was behind him. Eyes puffed with a hoarse voice Alvin, as well as the calm face of Darman can already make Imran conclude something.

"Ran, please wake Grandpa up. Grandfather does not like to sleep early in the morning," said Alvin, who immediately made Imran's heart hammer.

Slowly Imran stepped over to Alvin and his grandfather, checking his pulse convinced himself that something had happened to his grandfather.

Imran immediately ran outside to meet everyone who was waiting for them at the dinner table, to let everyone know.

"Mr, Sir, Mang, Grandpa–" Imran could not continue his words, his throat felt dry so he could not make any more sounds, he said, he could only point at the room so that everyone who was there immediately looked at the room. His eyes looked red, holding back tears.

Looking at all that, of course everyone who was there instantly got up and walked quickly towards the room, all of them could only be silent for a while, when he saw Alvin who was crying sobbing beside Darman who seemed to still close his eyes.

The earliest conscious Esih immediately ran over and hugged her husband while shouting, unable to accept the reality that had happened in such a short time.

"Mr, wake up, sir. It's morning! Sir, Up!" Esih continued to scream trying to wake Darman who could not respond at all.

"Sir," said Alvin, hugging the frail and old body of Esih.

"Vin, wake up your grandfather, Vin .. usually he always listens to whatever you say," said Esih who increasingly made Alvin's heart sliced.

"Sorry, Grandma. Sorry," said Alvin, while continuing to hug Esih. Until suddenly Esih's body felt weak. Esih was unconscious.

Imran's father helps Alvin finish Esih, to be laid in Alvin's room. Alvin was silent with his grandmother, they were strengthening each other in the face of the loss of the person they both loved.

Imran, his father, and their brothers took turns saying farewells to Darman, the old man who was a hero to Alvin, now gone to the Almighty.

Something that is very surprising, considering that all this time Darman's health development continues to improve. All families are optimistic that Darman will soon recover and can move as usual again.

However, it turns out that God has another will, He loves Darman more and calls him to come back soon.

Esih was repeatedly unconscious in the arms of Alvin, the old woman who had been married to Darman for more than forty years, unable to resist the grief of having lost her life.

"Vin, you have to be strong, for Grandma's sake, she needs you now" said Imran who was helping Alvin wake up.

Esih is now allowed to rest in Alvin's room, accompanied by his mother Imran, while other uncles and Aunt Alvin share the task of preparing the funeral and the funeral.

Alvin saw Imran, his heart was really broken for the umpteenth time. He again had to face the bitterness of losing the person he loved so much in his life.

Alvin took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, for his overcrowded heart to gain some space. He went to the bathroom to ablution and then read the yasin beside his kakenya.

The day was getting noon, now the mourners had started to arrive, many words of patience and steadfast Alvin heard from the neighbors and relatives who came.

However, all that could not be the slightest consolation of the sadness in his heart, again the role model in his life was taken back by the Almighty. Alvin was angry and asked, What's wrong? Why does he always lose the people he puts his back on and passion for his life?

However, Alvin realized that he did not have the right to protest on every provision that God gave him. The advice of the grandfather who last night was spoken to him, now feels so heavy for Alvin to do it.

Alvin stood firmly with his shoulders held back a coffin containing the body of his grandfather, he walked in front with three other people, who were the son-in-law of Grandpa Darman.

Stifling the tightness in his chest, Alvin escorts Grandpa Darman to his final resting place, he even goes into a burrow, to receive Grandpa Darman and lay him down, in his final home.

After everything was ready, now that the ground had begun to be lowered to seal the burrow, Alvin slowly climbed up while leveling the ground which slowly swallowed the lifeless body inside.

Grandpa can now meet you and Alin, huh? Please say hello to Alvin with Mr and Alin yes, Kek. Tell me Alvin kangen. Alvin muttered inwardly, while continuing to flatten the ground beneath his feet.

Thank you, Grandpa has always been there for Alvin, ever since you died. Grandpa is a hero and role model for Alvin, after Dad. Alvin is happy and proud to have Grandpa, continued Alvin.

Esih could not come, the old woman could not see her husband had to drown and return to the ground. I do not know how many times the old woman was unconscious, because she still could not accept the reality.

The placement of the headstone and sowing flowers on the tomb is done, indicating the funeral process is complete. Alvin crouched beside the tomb, still wanting to deny that all this was really happening.

He always wished that he was still in the dreamland. His subconscious still refused to believe that his grandfather had left him for good.

Have a good rest, Cake. Now, Grandpa, it's not sick anymore. Grandpa also doesn't need to cape-cape work anymore. All of Grandpa's duties in this world are done. Sleep quietly, Alvin will try sincerely.

Alvin rubbed the headstone with his Grandpa's name, trying not to shed a tear.
