At the End of my Waiting

Chapter 70 (Goodbye my family )

The next morning, Zahira awakens first, but Zahira feels her whole body in pain.

"Awww," Zahira grimaced in pain while trying to move.

Rendi woke up when she heard Zahira's voice.

"Darling, what's wrong with you?" asked Rendi who heard Zahira grimacing in pain.

"Zahira is sick, Mas" replied Zahira timidly.

"I'm sorry, because of Mas, Zahira was in pain," said Rendi who felt unbearable towards Zahira.

"Don't all women feel pain the first time they do it? and Zahira was happy to be able to give up something precious to Zahira's husband."

"There's a lot of love, because Zahira gave it to Mas. May our marriage last forever until death do us part" said Rendi, who was in Amini by Zahira.

Rendi suddenly lifted Zahira's body, then carried her into the bathroom.

Rendi put Zahira into the bathtub, then filled the water for Zahira to bathe.

"Why would you like to do something?" asked Zahira when she saw Rendi also enter the bathub.

"You want to take a shower" said Rendi with a crybaby.

After being in the bathroom for a long time, Rendi again helped Zahira to get out of the bathroom by holding her back.

Zahira continues to develop a smile, because Rendi treats her very well, although at this time Zahira still feels sad because her family died, but Rendi always tries to comfort her.

"Why keep smiling? it doesn't hurt anymore, does it?" goda Rendi, and Zahira just smiled shyly because Rendi just kept teasing him.

"Mas, sorry yes because Zahira has inconvenienced Mas Rendi, Zahira should serve Mas Rendi," said Zahira who felt bad.

"Honey, you're the Queen not Babu, so as a Husband, it should be Mas pamper Zahira. Zahira is patient yes, soon Zahira will serve Mas, after Zahira later do the installation of prosthetic legs," said Rendi by hugging Zahira's body.

As Rendi and Zahira prepare, they head out of the room to deliver the bodies of Aira, Mama Risa and Daddy Indra to their final resting place.

Grandma Puspa who saw Rendi pushing Zahira's wheelchair immediately teased her.

"The new bride is finally out as well, how was her first night?" seductive Grandma Puspa.

"Grandma was so happy to tease us huh, did Grandma not see if Rendi's wife's face was red like a boiled crab."

"Grandmother is happy to see you guys happy. Zahira who is patient yes, Zahira is not alone, because Rendi and Aunt will always be there for Zahira, especially soon Nabila and Ken will return home also from abroad, and they will definitely accept Zahira with open arms."

Pity Grandma for not knowing the true condition of Nabila, said Rendi in his heart.

Zahira looks dreamy when he hears Nabila and Ken will return to Indonesia.

"Will Nabila not be angry and hate Zahira when she learns that Zahira is the son of her parents' killers?"

"Honey, it wasn't Zahira's fault, so Zahira didn't have to feel guilty. Nabila has a good heart, so Nabila will not be angry let alone hate Zahira."

"Thank you very much Auntie, Zahira is lucky to have you guys."

"It looks like there's a bucin now. Congratulations Ren, finally you can move on also from Nabila," said Granny Puspa.

"So all this time the woman that Mas Rendi loved was Nabila?"

"Honey, Nabila is only my mass, but you are my future, after all my love was just clapping because Nabila only loved Ken. So, we will open a new page, Father and Mother, will definitely be happy when you see this beautiful wife Mas."

"Are Father and Mother the parents of Mas Rendi?" ask Zahira.

"Pak Udin and Bu Fatimah are Uncle and Aunt Mas Rendi as well as adoptive parents of Mas, because they took care of Mas after both parents died," replied Rendi.

"They must be good, because they have managed to educate Mas Rendi well."

"Of course, even today those who care for Rendra are Anak Nabila and Ken," said Rendi.

"So Ken and Nabila already have kids?"

"Dear, I'll tell you everything just like you, and Mas doesn't want any more lies between us, so don't let any lies between us."

"Zahira, I'm sorry Aunt can't come with you to the funeral," said Granny Puspa with a sad bow, because his heart is the deepest still does not accept if the cause of death of the Son and his Son-in-law is Daddy Indra.

"Tante, Zahira knows how Auntie feels. On behalf of Zahira's late family, Zahira apologizes profusely for the crimes that Daddy committed during his lifetime, and Zahira is very grateful to Auntie for making Airlangga residence as a funeral home for the late Zahira family, and later for the birthday event, we have prepared it at the late Daddy's house," said Zahira who understands very well if it is not easy to forget the crime that Daddy Indra has done to the Granny Puspa family.

"Son, I'm sorry, Auntie didn't mean to take revenge on your late father, Auntie has tried to take everything away, just that little Auntie's heart still feels pain when it remembers everything.

Rendi knows very well if the current feelings of Grandma Puspa and Zahira are both not good, but Rendi salutes the two because they still love each other, and Grandma Puspa did not blame the status of Zahira who is the son of the killer of his family.

"Sir, Rendi knows how Grandma feels, and Rendi is very proud because Grandma has been heartened to do everything. Then, we now leave first yes," said Rendi.

Rendi and Zahira left after kissing the back of Grandma Puspa's hand and saying Salam, and Grandma Puspa shed tears when she saw the Ambulance car carrying the bodies of Daddy Indra, Aira and Mama Risa to his final resting place.

"Indra, even though I love you like my own brother, but you firmly hurt my family, fortunately Nabila my grandson survived the accident, because otherwise I would not have children again."

"Everything you are experiencing right now is karma for you, because the way you died is the same as what happened when you harmed Airlangga and his family."

"The greed you have has turned to destroy yourself, even your innocent family has taken on the sins you have committed. However, you will try to take everything for granted, and you will always pray that you can rest in peace, and that God will forgive all the sins you have committed during your life," mumbling Granny Puspa.

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

After arriving at the Cemetery, the burial process of the corpse was carried out, and Rendi continued to accompany Zahira to strengthen her, especially when Zahira looks fragile.

"Honey, please let everything go, I know that it will not be easy, but the closest thing to us is death, because death will be all natural people, including us," said Rendi.

"Yes, Zahira will try to take everything away. May all the Zahira families rest in peace, and God forgive all their sins" said Zahira who was in Amini by Rendi.

Ma, I'm sorry Zahira, because Zahira can't save Mama. Thank you for being a good Mama for Zahira, may Mama's worship charity be accepted by Allah SWT.

Dad, although Daddy never considered Zahira to be Daddy's Daughter, Daddy was Zahira's father too, and Zahira always loved Daddy. May God forgive all the sins that Daddy has ever committed.

Aira, although we are not close, but all this time I have always loved you, because after all we are brothers. May you all rest in peace.

Goodbye my family, my prayers will always be with you, Zahira said in her heart.
