CLBK (Long Love Hasn't Been Long)

The Research that Failed

The rain of light soaked the burial ground which now began to be left by the mourners one by one.

Lita and Vera were still weeping bitterly in front of Vero's still wet and red-ground belly button.

"Why do you cry over Bang Vero's departure?! Isn't this what you're waiting for?! Now Brother is free to go after Brother's Beloved!" Suddenly Vera snapped at Lita.

Lita who was still aghast. Lita looked up. "A.. What do you mean, Dek?" Lita's eyes look puffy.

"By Big Brother, Bang Vero so go!! If only Brother was not delirious which made Bang Vero hurt... Maybe you still exist now! Hicc.. hik..hik..." Vera was still emotionless in her cries.

"But...." Lita looks confused.

"Go..!!! Get out of here!! I hate Brother!!" Remove Vera.

Vera's drowning. Burhan's grandfather and a young man embrace Vera's shoulder and take her away from the burial ground.

Lita's still mute. Vera's words were like a whip that hurt her body that began to look thin. Her face is pale.

"I'm who...." Nindi crouched down beside Lita. "You must be sincere... Vero was calm there. You remind me of Vero's last message?"

"But Auntie... Why does Vera hate me? What the hell is it? What does Bang Vero know that I don't know?" Lita tries hard.

"We go home. The rain will fall. Auntie tell me later in the car. Your uncle is waiting. Poor Mama's already cold in there." Pinta Nindi's.

Lita nodded after saying goodbye to Vero's navel.

__________________________

Lita walked alone. Fitri's call was not heard. Inevitably Farah and Fahri follow Lita's steps.

Three days after Vero's departure. Nindi's explanation of her delusions made Lita feel very guilty. Lita always blames herself. If only Lita could keep her feelings and not be sick.

Tia and Lambok have often advised Lita. If it is fate Vero died at the age of 27 years. But Lita still grieves and blames herself.

Lita gets to the river. Lita sat on a large stone whose surface was flat. Lita's breathing fresh air there. Her clear eyes let out water, Lita cried.

His research has failed. The first patient was not helped. His love ran aground when Leo betrayed him. Lita slouched her head on both her knees.

Fahri and Farah just looked at the behavior of his cousin not far from the body Lita was in.

"How is this Bang? How long are we gonna wait?" Farah looked worried.

Let Lita satisfy her feelings of sadness. "We'll just keep watch here. I'm sure Lita won't do anything that doesn't." Fahri said to calm his sister.

"Bao... Vera hates Lita. How's your relationship with Vera going to be?" Ask Farah.

Fahri smiled as he put his arm around Farah's shoulder. "Vera is just sad. Vera misunderstood. Later if Vera calms down, she'll regret and apologize to Lita."

"Hmmmmm... Elder brother... I know very well the nature of Vera.. hhmmm. When was it inaugurated?" Farah Temptation.

"You are well... Jail ain't been missing since." Fahri fiddles with Farah's ear covered in hijab.

"Aauu... Aduuhhh Abang's... Sakiiittt..." Farah complaining.

Suddenly... Byuuurr...

Lita jumped into a river where the water was very heavy.

"Litaayaaa!!!" Fahri and Farah ran and threw themselves into the river.

Farah and Fahri search for Lita's body. But I didn't meet. They're very worried.

"How is this Bang? Oh my God, why are we so careless. It.....!" Call Farah.

"Litaayaaa!!!" Call Fahri who keeps diving and popping.

Fifteen minutes later, Lita was nowhere to be found. Until at the end.

Fahri laughed out loud. Just this time Farah wants to jump into the river because she wants to help Lita. "Because you're being jailed with Lita." Canda Fahri's.

Farah just pursed her lips. "Huh... Lita...!! Not funny!" While heading to the mainland.

Lita was weeding a fish she caught. His stomach is hungry. From morning Lita had not had breakfast.

"Lita....! Iiiha... It's even fun here." Farah sulking.

Lita looked up. "Who told you to jump into the river..." Said Lita relaxed.

"Yahhhhh!!" Farah glaring. "Catsuh... I'm worried you're okay.... Wet all my clothes." Farah pursed her lips.

Fahri just shook his head while laughing at the behavior of his two sisters.

"I just saw this fish teasing me. Yes I caught it. Yeah, almost hit the rock earlier I. I think it's good to burn." Obviously Lita.

Without being asked Fahri already knew that Lita really likes grilled fish. Especially fresh fish. He said the meat was sweet. No need for spices also delicious.

"It's already the fire." Fahri peels a twig resembling an indolence to stab a fish.

"So soon, I wash the fish first." Lita was about to go down to the river again.

"Let me just." Farah took the fish that was covered in blood because Lita was captivating it.

But Lita went down to the river to wash her hands.

Not long after the fish was on the fire. Fahri turned the fish back to evenly ripen it.

"Aren't you sad anymore?" Temptation Farah on Lita.

Lita sighed. "Still....But I can't be late. Bang Vero was calm. Bang Vero is sincere that I choose my way of life. I cannot deny, I have failed. But I can't fall. Poor Mama and Papa too Daddy... They're old. I shouldn't have to burden you with my childish style." Lita shed tears.

Farah rubbed Lita's eyes gently. "I agree. Our road is long. Your failed research can be repeated, can't you?"

Lita nodded with a smile. Farah hugged Lita's body. "This is my brother."

"Huhaha...." Lita and Farah laughed.

"Udaayahhh... Mulu laugh. It's already dead." Fahri.

"There's no rice? I'm a really good laper." Ask Lita.

"Silence...." Farah got up from her seat and walked towards the grass-covered courtyard where she placed the challenger that Mama Fitri had prepared.

"Waaahhh.... Definitely delicious. Mama Fitri's cooking is not two." Lita got up and half ran.

Fahri was just shaking his head. Fahri took off the wood perched on the fireplace. He raised his fish.

"Indeed Mama Tia, the cooking is not good?" Ask Farah.

"Enak... Only Mama if cooking follow Papa's taste. Papa is not so strong eating spicy. Iiiha... Must be sambel made by Mama Fitri pedes bangeeetttt..." Lita looks impatient.

Farah had poured rice on the bushel on the banana leaves. Fahri if to the river always carry a knife and cleaver. Because on the river there will be a machete meal.

Lita looks to eat very well. Farah to gape with a portion of Lita's meal.

Fahri winks at Farah. "Let it...." Bisik Fahri's.

Farah smiled and encouraged Lita to eat. Farah sometimes pranks Lita rice. Or take Lita's hand to feed her.

Fahri also goes to feed Lita and Farah. Lita and Farah also take turns feeding Fahri. Even impressed scrambling so that Fahri felt bullied by his two sisters. The three of them were very happy.

"At least today I can see smiles and laughter on the faces of my sisters." Inner Fahri.
