ANELIC

Chapter 13

The doctor and nurse agreed. The middle-aged woman could no longer survive. They have finished their work.

Rajasa pushed hard the door. The barrier that had blocked him and his mother. Rajasa slashes into the body of his beloved woman.

"Well, wake up Mah. Mah, this Rajasa comes Mah," he said hoarsely. The crying that had soaked earlier was unstoppable again.

"Well.don't joke Mah. Rajasa did not like Mama to be quiet like this. Rajasa would rather Mamah do many things. Mah, Mah..." He called his mother. Darling, his mom obviously can't return his words.

"Mah! Wake Mah! Rajasa has come home, Wake up!" Rajasa violently shook his body. He does not believe in the reality before him. Just this afternoon he was talking to his Mom over the air connection.

"Mah, Mamma. Please Mah!!!" The crying became more. His heart was sad to see his mother stiffened.

Anelis approaching. I can't believe her in-laws died either. Wet eyes. Anelis grabbed the hand of her beloved woman, she could not string many words together. Kiss the back of a woman's hand that never gets angry. Since first accepting Anelis as a son-in-law, not once was Anelis treated badly. Anelis loved her in-laws more than her own mother.

"Well, wake up Mah" said Anelis lirih. He moved his hands. I hope there is a response from the owner. But, the owner of the body could no longer retaliate. Calm in his long sleep. His beloved father-in-law is gone. Anelis. Knees squawking. His world collapsed that day.

Rajasa holds his Mamah body. Although it was hard to believe he was trying to digest. Rajasa did not help Anelis who was still crying. He was also wounded, his soul was empty instantly. Siloam hospital and his house are not far away. Siren ambulance accompanied Anelis, Rajasa and Mamahnya. Miss Ranti has gone home first. Make some preparations.

Rajasa rubbed his mother's body which was covered with cloth. Sometimes he prayed, strengthening his heart. Anelis sat next to. Seeing some colleagues coming, could not bear if he let. Anelis is trying hard. He cannot rely on Rajasa. It must be him who is more accepting of the situation. As a couple, it is good. When one is down, the other gets up. Remain who needs more servings for the sadness itself, which can dissolve. The rest should be cleaned up by her partner.

Dimas came with Anita and other employees at R-jasa.com. Anelis told me via whatsapp message.

"Prophe Ne, the strong one," said Dimas greeting Anelis. Anelis nodded her head. Signing to Dimas, Rajasa inside. Who knows Rajasa can calm down a little.

Dimas shone Rajasa, patted his best friend's shoulder. "The strong Sa, I also know very well aunty Karti. I'm losing it, too" said Dimas, wiping away his tears.

Rajasa sees his best friend who is familiar with his Mamah, he says, "Sorry Mamah if there is a wrong Dim, doain the road is airy."

Dimas nodded, "Sa. I must be doain. Aunt Karti's a good man, she can't be lonely there." Dimas also feels a loss like Rajasa. He embraced a friend who was like a brother to him. Rajasa was crying again. His issue is getting heartbreaking.

Mourners arrive at Harkit housing in Tangerang city. News of the sudden death of Bu Karti quickly arrived in the neighborhood. Employees of the bakery Daisha Bakery, their old shop Lapis Legit and partners visited Rajasa's house. Some neighbors in the village of Cibodas Besar and teachers of Elementary School N Cibodas 4 who knew him also served. Nurma and other tentors from Sahabat Studi were also present. A final tribute to Mamah Rajasa. It's just that, in the number of mourners who huddle only Anelis and Rajasa are pure family. Rajasa never knew what a relative was.

Anelis called Mr and Andara, and his mother in Java. Although it could not arrive that day, at least there was news for them.

Heart slashed. In Jakarta they are perfect for just the two.

"Still Dim, it's been gagged till night. Sory if we can not love anything," said Anelis.

"Nothing Dim. Very thanks. Nitip company yes, like Rajasa heavy to return to normal. It takes time" Anelis said, taking a decision for Rajasa. A time like this should have something to rely on in the company. Lucky they have Dimas.

The night was getting late, the funeral home was gradually quiet. Ms. Ranti returned to her house which was only one cubit away. Their walls are one. Employees Daisha bakery who took the time to fix the equipment before going home was no longer there. Remaining Anelis and Rajasa who are still in mourning.

Anelis takes a glass of water for Rajasa. Trying to persuade him to talk. From noon Rajasa's stomach has not been filled, he is worried Rajasa's condition is not good. A man who is so great that all problems can be uprooted too. The man who had been the axis of the course of Anelis' life was helpless. He sat alone, in a medium-sized room that the owner had left behind.

"Mas," call Anelis. Stand on the door of the room.

Rajasa looked over, slightly raising his face. He did not answer Anelis's remarks. Rajasa threw his face away. Anelis stepped forward, thrusting a glass of water to her husband. His right hand he let hold the glass, while the left tried to wipe Rajasa's arm.

"Mas, drink first" said Anelis.

Rajasa still did not turn around. He wandered far into his memory. About his mom who was so good at taking care of him. About the Mom who is so good at making donut cakes. Also about their last conversation on the phone. A last request he failed to grant. His time as a child was unfulfilled. Remembering that all makes Rajasa sick. He felt all his fault, also the wrong woman he loved. If they can quickly give happy news, if they do not fail many times. Surely his mother did not feel lonely. Rajasa regretted thinking that, his heart was hurt, broken unceremoniously. His pride was also humiliated. He did not succeed in making his mother happy. At that time also feelings of hate infiltrated Rajasa's heart. Makes it useless.

Rajasa turned his back, with a glass in Anelis' hand. The sound of a bell hitting the floor made Anelis startled. Anelis brought back tears. Not yet had Anelis pick up the shards of his glass Rajasa spoke, he said,

"All because of you Ne! Your fault! If you don't have a problem, you can definitely see your child. If you don't procrastinate, Mama will be happy. You can't leave so soon!" Rajasa pointed at Anelis right in the face. "Your house loves me. Our housekeeper married Ne, if the ending is like this!" Rajasa yelled at Anelis loudly. Rajasa revealed the contents of the heart that he had been keeping himself..

"Mas, calm down first Mas," said Anelis confused. He did not think the glass in his hand just fell.

"I can't calm down, Ne. My life is meaningless without Mama Ne. I'm not ready for Mamah to go!" Rajasa was feeling more sorry for himself. Tears flowed back from the eyes.

"Mas, patient Mas. I lost Mamah Mas too. I also did not expect Mamah to leave us," said Anelis lara. Today her husband is so different.

Rajasa looked at Anelis. Now, his gaze was no longer love but hate for everything that happened. Rajasa blames Anelis.

"Where can I be patient if I am Ne! You're just a ghost. I am the son of Mamah. I know the pain best. Go Ne! stay with me alone. I don't want to see you!" Rajasa returns.

"Mas, mum. Don't be so Mas," Anelis tries to grab Rajasa's hand.

"Go Ne! Go!" Rajasa is getting to him. He pushed Anelis hard. Asking Anelis to get out of her Mom's room.

Anelis is helpless. His strength is not strong enough against Rajasa. Anelis came out with a heart. The door of the room was tightly closed. Rajasa brings out all the flavors. Her cry was shrill yet heart-wrenching. Anyone who hears it, feels it too.

Anelis let her body fall to earth. He held the weak door. A partition that prevents her with her husband. A boundary that Rajasa deliberately makes. Anelis drooped weakly, her heart more hurt. He didn't just lose Mom. That night Rajasa threw it away. Makes it even more worthless. Through the silent door leaf, the two sowed the wound.
