Complex Child Love

CHAPTER 16 - The Last Meeting

Cefi was eager to see his parents. He wanted to catch up with Baron, Pak Pradana, and Ustaz Proud who were with his parents. However, Cefi is not allowed. Pak Pradana said it would quickly take care of the return of the bodies of the two Cefi parents. If Cefi follows will prolong the process. Finally, Cefi said, he preferred to wait even though it felt very bad.

Cefi continued to cry, he was very sorry because he was the one who asked his parents to leave for Singapore immediately. If only Cefi could turn back the clock, he would obey his parents and he would not have to ask his parents to leave.

Cefi's gaze was empty.

"Istighfar, Son..." Pinta Ustazah Aisyah who is the wife of Ustaz is proud. On the side of Cefi there is also Mother Anes who does not want to leave Cefi alone. He knew very well that Cefi really needed an old figure for now. Cefi's family has not come yet, so young people must be on the side of Cefi, especially Cefi now has the title as his son-in-law.

"Why should I, Ustazah? Of all the many why me?" Ask Cefi while crying. "Is this a punishment for an ungodly child like me, Ustazah? If only I hadn't told my mom to leave, I wouldn't have lost them." Cefi regretted what happened.

"Son, this may have been his way. The soul mate and time of death are set, this destiny cannot be changed by man. Maybe it seems that you asked your parents to leave but that's not it, it might actually be the fate of your parents, son. God willing, you are Xaviera's great son. You're a strong boy. God sent down trials on you so hard it means God loves you so much, you trusted chosen people can complete and go through this ordeal." Ustazah Aisyah. "Verily with difficulty there is ease." he continued to quote one of the two meanings of verses from Surah Al-Inshirah, precisely verses 5-6.

Cefi's tears kept dripping. If usually he will say that Ustazah Aisyah bawel for continuing to lecture him, but this time not. Deep sorrow seemed to kill the ignorant character of Cefi in an instant. Cefi who has always known complex people as a jolly figure is now changed into a fragile figure.

"Now I'm alone, Ustazah. Alone, how could I possibly get through it?" Ask Cefi while crying.

Anes' mother hugged Cefi, "You're not alone, son. There is God and we are by your side."

Cephi was crying again. Ustazah Aisyah and Anes' mother were very kind to him. Cefi did not know what happened if there were no two of them by his side. Because, in times like this, shortcuts keep coming to his head.

"Tomorrow morning, God willing, your parents are home, son. Because Baron and his father still take care of this and that." Mother Anes said.

"Thank you, Aunt, Ustazah. Thank you for being so good with Xaviera." Cefi.

Tok tok!

Room door knocked. A mother who was also a neighbor of the complex entered, "Son Xaviera, there is a friend of hers." Said the Mothers.

Shortly after, the three friends of Cefi named Amel, Dara, and Putri entered the room and immediately rushed to Cefi. Mother Anes and Ustazah were also mothers who delivered the three friends Cefi also chose to go out to give Cefi time to be with his three friends.

"The patient chef. Lo strong. Lo strong boy!" Dara said.

"Yes, Cef. We'll always be here for you." Amel.

"Yes, Cef. Sorry we just came because we just got word an hour ago from Mr. Baron." Princess Said.

"He who knows you?" Ask Cefi.

"Yes, Mr. Baron told us." Princess Said.

Cefi just cried. The three friends hug Cefi and try to give her spirit to Cefi.

Cefi is at the breaking point. She felt her life was useless and she regretted not being able to make her parents happy. Cephi was crying again.

"Gue nyesel, I'm sorry for telling bokap nyokap I'm leaving. Why am I so stupid? Wh why? Why don't I go with them..." Cefi started to mess up again. "Gue hasn't had a chance to please my parents. Can't yet bea .." Cefi's cry broke again.

Amel hugged Cefi from the side and rubbed his friend's shoulder, "This is fate, Cef. You have to be sincere."

***

Bend day.

Cefi can't sleep last night. The three friends of Cefi decided to stay with Cefi, they also had permission to their parents and also to Mother Anes. They don't know yet that Anes' mother is the mother of the Baron, their maths apprentice teacher.

Around 7am. The car carrying the bodies of both of Cefi's parents finally arrived at Cefi's House. Neighboring complex Cefi prepared everything well.

Someone approached Cefi and hugged Cefi. That person is Aunt Sonya her father-in-law's sister. He also sees Om Soni who is his father's younger brother. Cefi didn't get along with om and tantenya that much. However, this time Cefi did not refuse when they embraced him, because just like Cefi they were also in a state of sadness because of the loss.

Two coffins were removed from the hearse. Everyone is hysterical. At first both of Cefi's parents wanted to be taken directly to the cemetery but Cefi asked to see his parents for the last time.

"Mom, Papa ..." Cefi kept crying. Her tears kept breaking. His body trembled violently to see the two coffins containing his parents.

Next to the coffin his parents Cefi cried, continuing to cry. "I'm sorry mama... I'm sorry papa." His unrelenting words apologized.

Cefi's three friends continue to strengthen Cefi. However, Aunt Sonya and Om Soni come until the three friends of Cefi stay away a little giving room to the Cefi family to stand by Cefi's side.

Pak Pradana, Ustaz Proud, and Ms. Anes approached Cefi. Cefi looked up at Om Pradana, "Om, Cefi wants to see the faces of mom and dad." Speak Cefi with a vibrating sound.

"Are you sure, son?" Ask Mr. Pradana.

Cefi nodded his head steadily. "Yes, Om."

Pak Pradana and Ustaz Proudly opened the coffin and Cefi's cries broke even more.

"Surpassed, Son. Take care of your parents' departure." Mother Anes' words tried to strengthen the hysterical Cefi.

Both of Cefi's parents were bathed in the hospital. Then, after being crucified, both Cefi's parents were buried in a public cemetery near the Cefi home complex.

After the funeral procession was over, the people went one by one, and said condolences to Cefi. However, Cefi did not want to get out of his place, he still cried while wiping his mother's headstone. His eyes were completely swollen, his nose was also red.

"Son, let's go home." take Om Soni.

"First, Om. I'll go home by myself." Answer Cefi.

Soni and Aunt Sonya return to Cefi's house. Anes and Om Pradana's mother went home first because they had to take care of the guests at Cefi's house. Cefi stared at his mother's tombstone. Keep rubbing the tombstone.

"Three of you go home. You must be tired from yesterday. Rest up. Thank you for coming and caring for Xaviera." Behind Cefi. The baron said that to Cefi's three friends.

Cefi looked at his mother's headstone. His chest hurt so much, why he felt so sad. This is all too sudden. In an instant, he lost both. Two people he loved very much. Mother and Father.

Now, Cefi understands that in life the most difficult thing to do is to let go of parents. The most painful regret is when we cannot make the best use of time when both parents are still around.

Cefi regretted that as long as both of his parents lived, he had not been able to give anything to both of his parents. He could not make both his parents proud. He still likes to be angry at his parents, is not submissive, and often embarrassing. Really, Cefi is very sorry.

"Mama, why am I left behind? Why are you two staying with me?" Cefi asked staring blankly at her mother's tombstone.

"Did you not love me? Was I too self-replicating until you left me?" Ask Cefi. He's back sobbing. Her chest is so sick.

"Now I'm alone. What's the point of living without you? Ma, I want to follow. Mama Papa I want to die ajaaa." Cefi said while crying.

"Who said you were alone?" ask someone who's been squatting next to Cefi.

Cefi turned his head to the side and found the Baron there. The baron had changed into black cocoa, black pants, and black skullcap. Not like when I first came. The first time the Baron came, his clothes were really dirty.

Cefi just kept quiet and lowered his head.

"There's a feeling I love you more than my own son. There's my bokap who every day says you want to have a daughter." Said Baron.

Cefi was silent.

"Although lo ngeselin, but maybe I need lo, make me angry. I don't want to be a widower in a day." Said Baron.

Cefi immediately swerved towards the Baron. The little smiling baron. Fishing succeeded. He is different. He knows how to handle Cefi.

"Lo said you wanted to propose? If you end your life, there is a guarantee that you will meet with nyokap bokap lo? Life after death is a mystery, no one knows, Tik. We're just ordinary people. Have limitations, can not see what happens in the next minute, an hour ahead, especially after death." Said Baron.

Cefi was silent again. The baron tried to brainwash again for Cefi to get up. He did not want to see Cefi become weak. It looks like it's not Cefi.

"I'm pretty sure that both of your parents went to Heaven because they're very good people. Well, if you follow, with your situation that is not ready and barbaric gini, do you not go to hell, Tik? Old man in Heaven, you're in hell aren't you. Your death is in vain." Said Baron.

"Damn." Cefi Umbrella.

"Partially if you die asked the rabbuka man with an angel you answer what? Annyong haseo's? Are you not dipites with angels?" ask Baron.

"Barongsai, your question is not very human!" exclaimed Cefi annoyed.

Unfortunately, even though the words that Baron had thrown out were quite spicy, yet he quietly justified it inwardly. He certainly did not want to be seen to justify it because the Baron could be big-headed.

The baron this time chuckled.

The barons twisted Cefi's body so they could face. Then Baron rubbed Cephi's cheeks which still left a puddle of tears. Enough Cefi to cry. It felt, Baron was not strong to see Cefi cry anymore.

Baron understood the situation of Cefi. Who is not sad to be left by both parents simultaneously, what else Cefi has no brother or sister, Cefi would certainly feel alone.

"Don't you?" Ask Baron.

The corner of the sneer, Cefi lifted up for a bit. Baron smiled and wiped Cefi's tears again, then he fixed the pasmina that Cefi was wearing. Hiding Cefi's poking-out haircut.

Getting such treatment, Cefi's eyes re-glazed.

"Kok there are people who entertain sad people with bad words like lo?" Cefi said while holding a cocoa shirt worn by Baron. His voice vibrates. He's down. He wanted to look up and look at the Baron's two eyeballs but he couldn't. And now it felt like he wanted to hug Baron and cry in Baron's arms, but he was ashamed.

"There's dong. This is the guy in front of you." Said Baron.

Then, Baron smiled and hugged Cefi, "Don't cry anymore. Your face is already ugly later more ugly if most cry."

Cefi hit Baron's chest softly. The baron rubs Cefi's back, trying to calm the fragile Cefi. His enemy, whom he had married yesterday afternoon.

Instead of not crying, Cefi was crying in the arms of the man. Indeed, under these circumstances, all a Cefi needed was a hug. A real hug is a hug.
