Destiny Syakila

eps 225s

The Alimin residence.

The haul event had finished right at five in the afternoon. All the guests have gone home.

Sarmi, Johan, Biah, Johansyah, Geo and Syakila are still in Alimin's house. They were talking on the porch.

”Hardin, you know Sardin's grave? Please take me to the grave. I want to see him.” pinta Syakila.

Alimi, Nesa, Sarmi, Johan, Biah look at each other.

”I also want to visit the last resting place of Sardin.” said Geo.

”Then I take you there. We take the car.” said Hardin.

”Go, be careful in driving. You guys go in Papa Hardin's car. Here's Papa's car key.” Alimin handed Hardin the keys.

Hardin. ”Iya, Pa. Then, we go first.” he said, saying goodbye.

”Hum.”

Hardin, Syakila, and Geo stood up and went to Alimin's car. They got in the car. Syakila and Geo sat in the back.

Hardin started the car engine and ran it. He drives his car at a very fast speed.

Within minutes, they had arrived at the public cemetery. Hardin stopped the car at the funeral parking lot.

At funerals.

Geo, Hardin, and Syakila got out of the car. From the parking lot, Syakila can see the new cemetery. Syakila's eyes glazed over the mound of dirt that still looked wet.

Geo clasped Syakila's hand. ”You can? If we can't just go back.”

”I can.” replied Syakila with confidence.

The three of them walked into the cemetery. The closer to Sardin's grave, the more trembling Syakila felt.

His companionship with Sardin again flashed in his mind, accompanying his footsteps towards the man's navel.

They had arrived in front of Sardin's grave. Syakila read the gravestone stuck on the mound of land, which read the name of the man who was very attached to her heart.

”Sardine. Sorry, Syakila and I just came to visit you. You left so fast. And I haven't been able to apologize to you yet. Sardines. I'm sorry, I was an obstacle to your love and Syakila. I'm very grateful to you too. Thank you, you entrusted Syakila, a special woman to you, to me. I promise you, I will love Syakila, take care of Syakila, just as you love her and keep her in your life. Because I love Syakila.” Geo said.

Geo saw Syakila. The woman was still speechless looking at Sardin's headstone. Eyes glazed. Geo clasped Syakila's hands.

”Can you leave me alone here?” syakila Pinta. His voice was very slow.

”Hah!” Geo and Hardin were shocked. They look at each other.

”You guys, just wait for me in the car.” Syakila said again, without looking at them.

Geo according. ”Alright, you don't stay here long.” he went from there, also invite Hardin to come with him. They went to the car, waiting for Syakila in the car.

Geo knew there was something Syakila wanted to devote to Sardin. Hal, who didn't want him and Hardin to hear it.

”Is it okay, leaving brother alone there?” ask Hardin.

”You doubt your brother?”

Hardin shakes.

”It's okay. Let's see him from here.” The two of them leaned against the car, looking at Syakila. They saw Syakila wipe her tears and hold Sardin's headstone.

The grave of Sardin.

Syakila's tears kept flowing down her cheeks.

”Sister, it is a pity that our winding journey of love ends like this. Even so, I am happy, I am the first and last woman to be beautifully painted in the recesses of your heart. Thank you, brother. Thank you, for all the feelings that you gave to Syakila. Syakila will not forget all the memories that we have carved together from childhood until now. Sister's name, sister's face, will always be embedded in Kila's heart. Brother's gone by carrying and burying our love. Let Kila bury our love in the depths of Kila's heart. Kila has truly let go of sister's departure. Although there was still some resentment in Kila's heart, Kila forgave big brother. Kila can understand what brother means. Live quietly there. Kila here is fine for brother. Kila go first brother, Geo and Hardin are waiting for Kila.”

Syakila wiped her tears. He breathed and stood up. He looked at Sardin's headstone as if he was staring at the man's face.

He turned around and left. He approached Geo and Hardin.

”Already?” Geo wiped away the rest of Syakila's tears.

Syakila.

”Come, we go home.” take Geo.

Syakila nodded back.

They got in the car. Syakila and Geo sat in the back. Hardin started running his car.

Syakila leaned against the back of the chair, she looked outside the car window.

”Still thinking of him?” ask Geo.

”Slight.”

”Still not able to let go?”

”I'm sincere. It's just.. memories with him always imagined.”.

Geo was silent for a moment. She knows how sad she is when she leaves the most important person in life.

”I'll go to city A tomorrow. Beni has contacted me. There's a job at the company that needs me. Do you want to come with me tomorrow? Or still want to be here?”

”Iya, I'm coming. I'm your wife, I'll go where you go.” Syakila replied, however, her gaze still pointed out the window.

Geo smiled happily. ”Good. Tomorrow afternoon, we will leave for A.” city

”Iya.”

They have arrived at Alimin's residence. The car is parked in the trunk. They got off the car.

They walked over to Nesa, Alimin, Sarmi, Johan and Biah who were still sitting on the porch. They sit in chairs.

They did not say much and asked Syakila, when they saw Syakila's eyes were still swollen. They knew the woman had just cried.

”Em..this is night. We better go home now.” said Johan.

”Mama, Syakila want to stay here. Tomorrow morning, Syakila just returned home.” Syakila said.

Sarmi sees Nesa and Alimin. They both nodded.

”Iya. Then, Mama, Om, and your Aunt go home first.” said Sarmi.

”Iya.”

If you sleep here. Brother must have slept in Sardin's room. Then I go home to my mother's house first. It will be here again, Hardin thought.

”Mama, Hardin join Mama home.” Hardin told Sarmi.

Sarmi returns to see Nesa and Alimin. They both nodded.

”Good. Come on, let's go home. Nessa, Alimin. We go home first.” Sarmi panit.

”Yes, you guys be careful on the road.” said Nesa and Alimin.

”Mama, Papa. Sorry, Hardin came with my Mama back home.” said Hardin to Nesa and Alimin.

Sarmi, Johan, Biah, and Hardin go to the car. They got into Johan's car. And slowly, the car passed leaving the parking lot of Alimin's house.

”Come, we go inside.” invite Nesa to Syakila and Geo also to her husband.

”Iya, Ma.” says Syakila.

”Iya, Aunt.” Suhut Geo.

They went inside the house. Alimin went straight to his room. Geo also went to Sardin's room.

Shakila walked towards the kitchen. Nesa. ”No need to cook, Syakila. Mom and Dad were full. Mama sees you're still weak. I just got out of the hospital this morning. Better, you go get some rest. Your husband is also waiting for you in the room.” he said.

Syakila. ”Iya, Ma.” she went to Sardin's room. Nesa also went to her room.

In Sardin's room.

Shakila closed the door and locked it. He circulated the look looking for Geo. He didn't see Geo in bed. He looked into the bathroom.

Maybe he's taking a bath Syakila thought.

Syakila saw the photos on the wall of Sardin's room. He was glued to see a photo of him and Sardin both smiling, facing in front.

A photo taken by someone using Sardin's cell phone. In the photo, Sardin rests his chin on Syakila's right shoulder, so that Sardin's face height and Syakila's face are the same.

If only three days ago seemed fine, this room would be a sacred witness to the anchoring of our love.

Syakila sighed. He was a little surprised to find Geo's hand coiled around his stomach. Geo's chin was resting on his right shoulder, just like the photo of him and Sardin, which was on the wall.

”But again?”

Syakila.

Geo kissed Syakila's shoulder. ”Come break.” take her.

”I go to the bathroom first.”

Geo let go of his embrace. And pull himself.

I went to the bathroom.

Geo took off his clothes and lay down on the bed. He looked at the ceiling of the room.

He heard the bathroom door open. Syakila walked to the bed. He deg degan saw Geo who was bare-chested.

”Sini.” Geo patted the bed beside him.

Syakila got on the bed. He lay down on Geo's back. Geo slept sideways and hugged Syakila's body.

”Geo..”

”Ssttss! I just hugged you. If I want to. I won't do it here.” whispered Geo.

Syakila. He let Geo embrace himself. Geo kissed the shakila's neck and made a mark there.

”Aah.” Shakila screams slowly.

Geo smile. If he wanted to continue Syakila would not have rejected him. But, he didn't want to do it in Sardin's room.

”Sleep!” teetah Geo. He himself closed his eyes.

Syakila. His eyes are still wide open. He can't sleep. His rapid heartbeat, made him restless. He turned his body to face Geo.

He saw Geo had closed his eyes. He buried his face in Geo's neck. His hands hugged Geo's body. He closed his eyes. His breath began to sound soft.

Geo opened his eyes and kissed Syakila's forehead and closed his eyes again. They sleep hugging each other.

.. ...

The subconscious Syakila.

”Kakkak an. Long wait here?” ask Syakila.

”Iya.” Sardin held Syakila's hand and led her to sit beside him.

”Why is your face pouting?” ask Sardin.

”Kakak knows the answer.” Ketus Syakila.

”Kila. I'm sorry big brother, you can't keep your promise to go to China. Brother also apologized, leaving you on a special day for us.”

”Kila was sad, disappointed, when my sister gave me a dowry of a promise. And that promise, brother gave me up on Geo. Why kak?”

”So I'm sorry, you're angry with brother right? Sorry, yes. Brother used your weakness to marry Geo. Brother gave you to her because he loves you sincerely, like a sister who loves you. You still love Geo. Syakila, I'm sorry, you hid your sister's worsening illness from you. Brother is no longer strong to deal with sister's disease. But, big brother could not leave quietly leaving Syakila. Brother also does not want Syakila to be dissolved in grief if sister leaves. That's why I gave you to Geo. Geo's beside you, brother calm down. And now brother is calmer again after brother spoke with Syakila, taking out all the burden in the heart and in the mind of brother.”

”Kila feels sister is very cruel.” Syakila's tears run down both of her cheeks.

Sardin wiped away Syakila's tears. He brought the woman into his arms. Syakila hugged Sardin. Even he hit Sardin's chest, venting his frustration. Sardin endured Syakila's blow, until she did not feel Syakila hit her chest anymore.

”Have been satisfied to hit me? Still mad? Still pissed at me? I don't want you to be angry with me. If hitting me can erase your anger, I give you my chest to hit. The important thing is that you are not angry with me anymore.”

”I want to kill you.”

Sardin smiled. ”Already, don't be upset and angry with me anymore. Live your new life now. Live is happy. We have sincerely let each other go.”

”Iya. Thank you, brother for giving sincere love to Syakila.”

”So I've heard you talk like that. Brother won't hear it anymore. Brother just wants to hear that Kila is not angry, not upset, will not cry, and will live happily.” said Sardin.

”Kakak..iya, I'm not angry anymore with brother, not upset and Kila will live happily for sister.”

”Good. Brother is calm now because his sister brother is no longer angry.” said Sardin.

Sardine stands. Syakila also stood up.

Sardin stroked Syakila's head. ”Now brother go first. Take care of yourself, dear.”

Syakila held Sardin's hand. He hugged Sardin's body. ”Let Kila hug sister.” her door.

Sardin breathed. He let Syakila embrace him. He even returned Syakila's embrace, also kissing Syakila's head.

”Tomorrow, Syakila will start living Syakila's life in city A with Geo.” Syakila said. More precisely, Syakila said goodbye to Sardin.

”Iya. Live well. Brother has to go. Can you release brother now?”

Syakila loosened her embrace, she saw Sardin's face. At the pull of Sardin's head and he kissed Sardin's forehead, both cheeks, and kissed his lips. He hugged Sardin's body. His embrace was tight.

Syakila let go of her embrace and turned her back to Sardin. ”Go, sis!” he said, without turning his face.

Sardin smiled. ”Yes, thank you. Remember, live well and be happy. Brother is waiting for your arrival to see me again.” Sardin stepped back while looking at Syakila's back.

Syakila turned around after she did not feel Sardin's presence. Apparently he's wrong, Sardin hasn't gone far. Even Sardin smiled and waved at him. Slowly Sardine's body disappeared.

Shakila awoke from her dream. He sat on the back of the bed. He looked at the smiling photo of Sardin.

Thank ye. Thank you, brother for being present in my dream. I will live happily as you want. My brother also lived quietly in nature. In every Syakila going to the city of S, Syakila will definitely stop by to visit her sister and sleep in her room.
