The overcast sky at that time represented the feelings of the Kuncoro family who were grieving for the passing of someone in their family. Rania Kuncoro carried a photo she held tightly in her arms. Rania did not stop crying over the departure of the person she loved so much. Rania is still a teenager when she lost a figure who loved her so much all this time.
"Honey, don't cry, pity your mother there, she won't calm down there" Zahratusifa said, or commonly called aunt Zahra by Rania. Zahra tried to calm her niece who was constantly crying in front of her mother's newly buried belly button. Zahra hugged Rania when she was left behind by her sister, Risa. Zahra also wiped away her tears that had fallen because of the loss of her brother.
The funeral atmosphere was quiet. All the mourners have left the funeral. There are only two people who are the closest relatives of the deceased. Rania and Zahra are still crouching next to the tomb of Risa Kuncoro.
This was the second time that Zahra had to see his brothers one by one leave the world. Zahra did not think that this time it was Risa's life that had left first. Zahra had always thought that she was the one who would leave this cruel world first. But it was Risa who left her first. And Risa's departure was very unexpected. Zahra has to find out the truth about what happened to her sister.
"Darling, let's go home, it'll be raining soon. Your mother will certainly not like it if you are rained here," Zahra told Rania who seemed reluctant to leave the burial area. While the cloud in the sky is already layered thick. The rain will not be able to fall back.
"No, aunt, I want to stay here, I want to accompany you here. Surely mother will be lonely if I go home now" Rania said innocently. Zahra could not stem the tears that flowed back listening to how his nephew spoke. It was as if his mother was still alive in the world. Zahra hugged herself Rania who had to suffer even though she was still a child. Rania is still in junior high school.
The problems that have been afflicting the Kuncoro family lately are very strange. Since Ranu Kuncoro was in custody due to the death of his superior and best friend, Irwan Handoko. The problem made shock so severe for the Kuncoro family. Moreover, the problem of the death of Irwan Handoko is connected with the half-sister of Ranu Kuncoro itself. Yes, the death of Irwan Handoko along with Silvia Kuncoro made a splash of news all over the country.
All the media reported the death of Irwan Handoko, a famous businessman with his personal secretary who was two-bodied aka pregnant. And the news made a scene because of the pregnancy of the secretary who incidentally is still single. Then why should there be an accident that causes both of them to die. Especially when the incident took place, Irwan Handoko himself was the one driving the car.
The story of Irwan Handoko's affair and romance with the secretary who is the half-sister of Ranu Kuncoro, Silvia Kuncoro has become public consumption lately. Ranu Kuncoro has been arrested on charges of financial embezzlement at HND TV.
Of course the news of Ranu Kuncoro's arrest made a Risa become down instantly. Risa did not expect that there would be a case that befell her husband and dragged him to the iron bars. Zahra had repeatedly heard her sister's story that her husband could not do this. Her husband is unlikely to be guilty, as Risa believes the friendship between her husband and the late Irwan Handoko is excellent.
But what happened after several months of imprisonment Ranu Kuncoro. It is precisely the news that the brother had an accident and now his condition is very critical. This made Zahratusifa immediately buy a ticket to return to Indonesia as soon as possible. He couldn't wait any longer. Zahra was already feeling bad because last night she had a dream that her sister was coming to her. Risa comes in a white dress and is so pretty. Risa said good-bye to Zahra. Therefore, Zahra did not want to wait long when he heard the news that the brother had an accident. Zahra should be arriving in Indonesia soon. Zahra must see the true condition of her brother.
And sure enough, when Zahra got to the hospital. The older sister, Risa Kuncoro, had breathed her last. Zahra only saw when the brother had been covered by a white cloth all over his body. Zahra saw the hysterical cry of the niece for losing her mother. Zahra immediately hugged Rania who was so shocked to see her mother had been stretched stiff in the hospital bed that cared for her.
"Honey, let's go home with aunt, it's raining son, mother will not be happy if Rania to get sick from the rain. Tomorrow we go back to see the mother, yes, "persuade Zahra to Rania who was still crying while sitting in front of her mother's navel.
"But bi...."
"Come on, baby, don't be like this, your mom won't be happy to see it. You should go home now. Later that night there will be tahlilan at home, let us together pray for your mother. That God may place himself in the most beautiful place of Risa's mother"Zahra told his nephew. Rania looked at the aunt with tears still in her eyes. Hugging a picture of the mother who was smiling sweetly.
"Rania just wants to join auntie" said Rania with tears. Zahra rushed to embrace the fragile-looking Rania. Of course it is not easy for a child of the age of Rania to lose both parents. The father who is in prison. And also the mother who has been called by the Power.
"Rania can't say that, son," Zahra said as she stroked Rania's head with affection.
"It's all fate, Rania can't say despair like that. Mother Risa will be very sad to hear Rania say as before. There's still aunt Zahra, son. Aunty will always be there for Rania. Don't make Rania feel alone anymore. Rania is not alone you, son," said Zahra to calm the niece's heart while hugging her tightly. While Rania was still crying deeply in the arms of the aunt.
The sky was getting cloudy and the wind was blowing. The smell of rainwater had begun to pour out in the area around the cemetery. And sure enough, the specks of rainwater have started to fall to the earth. The rain water points make Rania more grieving for the fate of the life she is experiencing. The sorrow of a child who has to live a day because of problems in the family that can not be borne alone by a fifteen-year-old child.
