Chandanas

Epilogues

The sun peeked timidly from the east, its bright and yellowish rays piercing through the cracks of houses and glass windows.

Liliana walked slowly up the stairs to go to her eldest son's room. His feelings and heart were filled with deep sadness, as were all the people in his house.

Doubtfully, Liliana knocked on Kiran's room door saying, "Kiran, if you're ready, go straight down? We'll have breakfast before we go to the funeral."

At first, there was no sound from inside the room. Liliana thought that Kiran might still be sleeping. After waiting and not getting a message from Kiran, Liliana decided to open the door in front of her. However, just before he turned the doorknob, a heavy and shrill voice rang out from inside Kiran's room, "Yes, Ma. Kiran's coming down soon."

Hearing Kiran's reply made Liliana sigh in relief. Not wanting to make Kiran feel uncomfortable with her presence, Liliana rushed back to the dining room, where her youngest son and her husband were sitting waiting for her and Kiran.

While Liliana had reached the dining room and returned to her seat, Kiran was still standing in front of the glass with a sad and hurt expression. He looked at the reflection of himself who was now wrapped in a suit all black clothes accompanied by a suit that was also in the same color.

Kiran breathed a heavy sigh. I can't believe this day has really come. I still can't believe everything can happen so fast. In fact, Kiran kept looking at her reflection in front of the glass because she still had trouble believing all this. He wanted to convince himself that everything was right. That now, he and everyone are in deep sorrow at the passing of someone who is very significant.

Kiran fixed her shirt before stepping out of the room to join her father, mother and sister in the dining room.

That morning, they ate each other's meals quietly and did not talk much. Everyone is just as sad and sad.

After finishing their breakfast, Pradipta rushes to prepare a car and takes all his family members to the cemetery.

Kiran who was sitting in the front seat together with her father did not speak much. He looked out the window feeling empty. Many vehicles pass by, but not as much as a holiday heart.

"Kiran, are you okay, son?" Liliana who sat with Arda in the back seat asked.

Kiran looked back with a faint smile, "It's okay, Ma."

"Remember, if there's anything you tell Mama and Papa," Liliana reminded Kiran of one important thing that she had said six months ago.

Right, it's been six months since that horrible incident. On the day that Liliana and Pradipta found out that Kiran had suddenly disappeared, everything was completely chaotic and chaotic. Pradipta mobilizes all his men to search for Kiran. Rendi and Roka also ask for help and help to their colleagues at school, especially all Kiran fans who incidentally are women who almost all have high-level stalker skills.

Members of the basketball team helped the search even though their tournament was getting closer. In fact, the futsal team also helped find Kiran and Chandana because they had considered Kiran as a brother. In addition, they also feel regret because all this time has been consumed by the talk and trickery of Edy. They did not expect at all if the person they had considered as the ideal leader was a very terrible criminal.

After Roka finally found the note Kiran left behind, they rushed to the place where Kiran and Chandana were by taking the police along with the Pradipta people. Luckily they were not too late because Kiran and Chandana were still alive when they arrived. Everyone felt very relieved and happy when they found Kiran and Chandana were still fine. At least before Edy threw a bullet into the poor girl's body.

---

Kiran stepped out her legs in doubt. There were many cars lined up neatly along the entrance of the tomb. Dozens of men and women were seen passing by in all-black clothes. Several of Kiran's schoolmates are also seen there, including Rendi, Ratih, Naya, and Roka.

Today is a sad day for everyone. Kiran walked around holding Arda's wrist while her parents were busy talking to several adults attending the funeral.

"Bang, Arda go there for a second, okay? It seemed like it was Arda's schoolmate," Arda stopped his steps when he saw a long-haired little girl sitting pensively on a bench not far from the entrance of the cemetery.

Kiran raised her eyebrows and lowered her head to line Arda's fingers, "School friends? Old school or new school?" Kiran asked, trying to make sure.

Some time ago, Arda had surgery that has now successfully restored his vision. After much consideration, both of Kiran's parents agreed to allow the operation because the hospital had assured that Arda's surgery would run smoothly and also be safe even though he was very young. Therefore, Arda who used to go to school for children with special needs was transferred to a normal children's school.

Arda's healing brings its own color to the life of Kiran and her family. Even so, all that happiness did not last long because the news of grief came again to them.

"In old school, Bang."

"Huh? How do you know his face?" Kiran asked again.

Arda scratched his head furiously, "Oh, why so much tanyaa! Arda knew his face because there was a photo together. Mama told me the names of the children in the photo. And he's called Larasati, Arda's best friend! Her... Can't talk. B-but he often helps Arda pay for food in front of the school and helps Arda walk!" Arda explained in a hurry. It was clear that he really wanted to go to Larasati immediately.

Kiran smiled slightly noticing her sister's behavior. He then rubbed Arda's head while saying, "Jaudah went there. Don't go far!"

Arda nodded enthusiastically and ran over leaving Kiran.

After making sure Arda had arrived and sat on the same bench as Larasati, Kiran circulated the gaze. After searching for some time, Kiran managed to find the person she was looking for. It was Roka who was seen standing next to the wooden crate with Naya hugging her arm.

Kiran sighed. This must all be so heavy and sad for Roka and Naya. It seems, it is still not long since Roka can make peace with the past and start a life much better together with his father and of course with his mother as well, although in fact the two parents Roka's birth has officially separated.

However, everything did not last long. Although all of Kiran's problems and difficulties have been successfully passed, she cannot really feel happy because Roka's mother's disease continues to get worse which now leads to death. Is correct. Now they are all present at the funeral of Rosa, Roka's biological mother who is also Naya's stepmother.

Everyone was sad and sad in that place. All those present looked extremely injured and the worst of them were Roka as well as Naya. Although now they can finally establish a relationship without having to accept the skewed views of the people, losing the mother figure really hurt Roka and Naya. They look very broken and see it makes Kiran also destroyed.

Kiran was about to walk towards Roka when she accidentally saw a black pajero stop not far from where she was standing.

From there, came out an old man with who still looked dashing with hair that was already completely white. Not so long ago, a young girl followed and got out of the car. The girl was wearing a black dress that hung her knees along with long sleeves. Her shoulder hair looks very beautiful and contrasts with the color of her skin that is as pale as milk. Her pretty face looks sad and sad.

Meanwhile, Kiran looked at the girl with trembling legs. His heart seemed to pierce out upon seeing that face again after a long time. The face he longed for so much, that almost every night adorned his dreams and dreams. The face he had always wanted to see and he had been flailing for months. The face that always haunts his days and smothers him with a deep longing.

It's been six months since the girl disappeared without a trace. It has been six months since Kiran heard that the girl she loved had to defend against her physical and inner wounds. It has been six months since Kiran suffered and was overwhelmed with worry and anxiety, imagining where Chandana is and how she is. Every day Kiran passes with curiosity and also a shadow about how and what Chandana has done so far.

Six months is not a short time for two people who love each other to be separated without any news or information. Kiran never knew how and where Chandana was.

During these six months, Kiran tried hard to find and meet Chandana. In fact, Pradipta pleaded with the Chandana family to bring Kiran and the girl together. However, Kiran could never, nor could Pradipta do much. They said that Chandana suffered severe trauma after the incident. She is always frightened and refuses to meet anyone especially Kiran. He suffered a panic attack and thought that everyone nearby would be hurt and hurt. Although Edy has gone and received the appropriate punishment - Edy was shot dead by police after he shot Chandana - the wounds he incised still imprint on Chandana's mind and heart. It is easy to heal physical wounds, but not with liver wounds.

The girl disappeared from the surface without anyone knowing her whereabouts other than her own family. Kiran tries to understand this because she is aware that Chandana's grandfather did all that to protect her grandson, to ensure Chandana's safety. Although it was hard for Kiran, she tried to live her days as if nothing had ever happened.

At first, everyone still often discussed and talked about him, about Edy, about Chandana. The three of them became a hot topic that was always discussed both in school and in newspapers and magazines. Time, however, erases everything. Chandana slowly began to disappear from people's minds. News about them changed with new news and new lips.

Kiran no longer talks about Chandana with her friends. They all seem to know that Kiran is trying to start something new so that without being told all of Kiran's colleagues start to stop talking about Edy and Chandana because from there all the wounds and bitter memories emanating.

Kiran became a new person. He became himself and completely changed. He spends time with futsal kids and sometimes plays with Rendi, Roka, Naya, and Ratih. They've really been like best friends for the past six months.

However, although he always looks good and is no longer haunted by curiosity and worry about Chandana, Kiran can never really get the gadia out of his mind. He keeps Chandana in his heart and mind whenever he is with others. Then, when he arrived when he was alone, Kiran brought the girl back out and thought about it nonstop. All their sweet and bitter memories initially felt so real and meaningful that they slowly began to blur and feel like a dream.

Now, the girl was in front of Kiran. The girl stood up straight. The girl looked healthy and was still breathing well.

Kiran turned aside a tear as Chandana walked past her without even turning her head in the slightest. Whether aware of Kiran's whereabouts or not, the girl is seen holding her grandfather's arm tightly while looking down and walking towards the crowd as the funeral ceremony is about to begin.

Realizing that, Kiran hurriedly wiped her tears and immediately joined together with the others so that the ceremony could begin immediately.

Kiran knew that this time was not the right time for her to think about Chandana and feel that matchless strange and happy feeling in her heart. However, Kiran could not lie to herself. It was very sad and devastated to see Roka and Naya crying lamenting Rosa's departure, but on the other hand Kiran could not take her eyes off Chandana.

To be honest, it wasn't just Kiran who was taken aback by Chandana's appearance at Roka's mother's funeral. All of Kiran's friends and the people present at the funeral were similarly shocked.

After the funeral service ended, Chandana approached Naya and hugged her tightly. The two cried together, releasing the sadness and longing they had felt for each other. Meanwhile, Kiran who stood not far from Naya and Chandana could only look at the two without having the courage to approach the girl he desperately longed for.

Realizing this, Roka wiped her tears and walked towards Kiran. He tries to look fine and teases Kiran about Chandana's appearance after a long disappearance.

"Cieh!"

"What the hell. You are in mourning, yes. Don't smile so much!" Kiran looked at Roka with an annoyed look. I can joke at times like this.

Roka smiled faintly, "If you doubt Chandana's nyamperin because we're at my nyokap cemetery, you fool. I don't know when I'll see him again. I don't know when I can see him again. Now you are samperin Chandana. I'm sure he must be as fond as that elo."

After worrying, Kiran decided to follow Roka's words. He walked towards Chandana and Naya. As if he understood, Naya resigned and left Kiran together with Chandana.

Apparently, Chandana has known of Kiran's whereabouts since. It was just that he was trying desperately to avoid Kiran because he had no power to hold back the tears and the passionate longing in his heart. Seeing that figure again made Chandana feel a feeling that she could not express in any form of words.

All this time he was in a condition where he became someone who was very fragile and terrible. He did not dare to meet Kiran in that terrible condition. In his unstable mental state. In fact, until now Chandana is still not really sure whether he has really recovered.

However, seeing Kiran being nearby made Chandana feel very calm. Very inconvenient. The man managed to get rid of all the fear and discomfort in Chandana's heart even just by standing there doing nothing.

Chandana avoids eye contact with Kiran as her two manics begin to glaze over.

"You.. Healthy," Kiran said. He did not believe that what was in front of him at this time was really Chandana.

Hearing Kiran's voice made Chandana's defense collapse instantly. He could no longer pretend he didn't miss Kiran. He could no longer pretend he did not care about the man.

Chandana nodded slowly while looking up, looking at the two beads of Kiran's eyes that were licking with tears.

"Why did you leave me? Why did you leave me, Chandana?"

Chandana can no longer hold back her tears. He sobbed slowly, as did Kiran who repeatedly pulled snot and rubbed her wet cheeks.

"I hurt you. I always have and will continue to hurt you."

Kiran sees Chandana playing her fingers. Kiran knows very well that Chandana is only so whenever she gets nervous. Therefore, Kiran grabbed Chandana's hand. Gently grasped it as he said, "Everyone always hurts each other. Intentionally or unintentionally, someone will always be sick. I've let you go once and it ends with the criminal taking you somewhere. Now, I'll never let you go again."

"I may not be able to promise that you will never cry or be sad again. I can't promise that you'll always be good without ever getting hurt again. But I will make sure that I will always be there to wipe away your grief and tears. That I'll be there and clasping your hands when you're hurt."

Chandana smiled slightly in the middle of her stuffing. He walked over and rested his head on Kiran's chest. Not staying silent, Kiran grabbed Chandana and hugged her tightly. He poured out all his yearning, all the feelings he had been craving all this time.

"Thank you Kiran. Thank you," Chandana let go of their embrace. He looked up and looked at Kiran with a very very beautiful and sincere smile.

Kiran rubbed Chandana's hair. He then held Chandana's cheeks with both hands and landed a kiss on the girl's forehead.

Chandana clutches Kiran's suit as the man kisses her lips, channeling all their feelings into a kiss so soft and warm.

Their greatest suffering and problems have indeed succeeded them through well. Everything they have managed to face and through. However, that does not mean they will be free from other life problems.

Problems will always be there, disasters will always come because that is how life is. Solving one problem will not make the problem completely stop. However, with confidence and trust in ourselves and our loved ones, all problems will always be solved because God never tests man beyond his means.

Whatever awaits Kiran and Chandana ahead of us, whatever will befall all humans in the future, we will be able to go through. Although it is difficult, even though it is heavy, there will always be a place to ask and also come back. There will always be good people sent by God as His intermediary. Therefore, keep believing.
