First Wife Heart Wound

Extra Part1s.

Twenty years later.

A man one hundred and seventy centimeters tall. Standing, looking at a mound, bearing the name of Ilham Mahendra. He stared at the mound with an indecipherable look, the sunglasses covering his eyes were able to blur a drop of water dripping between his sharp eyes.

In his right hand, still holding a toy that he once wanted so much. Even he still remembers how he whined asking the toy to the mother. Until the voice of the man who always met him and whom he always called father. He said he would buy the toy one day. "Dad's gonna buy me that toy later, huh, Rey?" he said at that time.

"Daddy promise?"

"Yes, I promised because of that. Wait for me to come home, baby? I'm sure I'll bring a toy like that to Reyhan!" he answered while shuffling Reyhan's little hair.

The little boy cheerfully shouted, and told the mother. If his father would give him the toy. "But you want a theme?"

"Dad will be gone for a while, after that come back again. Reyhan wait Daddy yeah, I promise I'll come back with all the toys Reyhan wants?"

"Em, Eyhan promise. Eyhan must be waiting for you!" reyhan replied with his lisp language.

And that promise is only a promise. During the wait, Reyhan almost every day asked when the father would come home? Days changed until the moon changed, but the news of the certainty of his father's return, he never heard again.

Until the longing that accumulates, making it always sickly. Until one day, his mother came along with the man he always called papa and since then, the shadow of the father figure he always missed, changed with a new papa figure. Who is always there for him at any time.

Reyhan wipes away his tears, as the memories of his childhood flashbacks, come back present and dance in his mind. Reyhan squatted a little, only to wipe the tombstone that read the name of the father. "Reyhan's coming, Dad!" lirih. "I'm sorry if it's too late, sorry Reyhan found out after all this time. And thanks for the toy, it's really good, even though Reyhan's not playing it anymore."

While sitting crouched between the mounds of his father's night, his shoulders were lightly squeezed by the old hand, which was now also standing behind him.

Reyhan looked up and smiled, "Grandmother?"

"You been here a long time, son?" ask her lirih.

"Lumayan lama, Grandma!"

"Did you miss him?" he asked as he looked straight, towards the tombstone that Reyhan was holding.

Reyhan nodded and said, "Yes, I miss him. Even though I know it's too late!"

"You know?" tanyakanya. "There is no day in his life other than thinking about you, hoping to come and hold you. While saying sorry. Even during his last breath, it was only you and your name that he always spoke?" he said in a trembling tone withstanding the tightness, as flashbacks of his son's death returned to his old memories.

"Sorry, Grandma!" reyhan lirih.

Ms. Suryo smiled, "It's not your fault, son? Indeed it has become the path of his destiny Such inspiration. Maybe it was already part of what he had planted first!"

Reyhan stood up and hugged the old grandmother. "Grandma's here to see Grandpa?"

Reyhan turned to the left side of his father's grave.

There is a tomb that reads the name Suryo Mahendra, the name of the grandfather who also left this world.

"You know what, son? When your father left Grandma alone. At that time Grandma's world felt collapsed and destroyed, but at that time Grandma was still able to survive. And a year after your father's departure. Turns out your grandfather left too, leaving Grandma alone in this world." The story while wiping the tears, which came back when remembering the departure of the two most loved people in his life.

"At that time Grandma thought, maybe if Grandma went with your Grandpa, Grandma would not be alone anymore. But when you remember, the will your father and grandfather left behind. Grandma decided to come back alive just to wait for you!" he said while looking at the grandchild's face.

"You knew? This face of yours reminds Grandma of your father. You have the same eyes and the same face. Grandma misses him even more!" lirih.

"Now there's Reyhan, Grandma. If Grandma misses, Reyhan will always be there for Grandma, accompany Grandma always!" reyhan said, holding Grandma's old hand.

Ms. Suryo smiled, "Let's go home, Grandma has cooked your favorite meal?" take him with a limp, as the old body tried to stand up.

"Yes, Reyhan is going home with Grandma, before Reyhan leaves for the office later?"

The two walked together, towards the car that was waiting in the parking lot. "Mas Reyhan?" aditnya.

"Don't call me, om! Just reyhan?" reyhan replied with a smile.

"Good, Mas. Uh Rey!"

Reyhan smiled, guiding Grandma into the car driven by Aditya. "Grandmother together with Adit, huh? Will Reyhan bring his own car?"

"Yes, Grandma wait at home, son?"

"Yes, do I love Grandma?" reyhan said, kissing the grandmother's right cheek.

"Om Adit, leave Grandma and thank you. Have you been looking after and been there for Grandma all this time?" reyhan said sincerely.

"Together Mas, uh Rey. Ms. Suryo I already consider like my own mother so I should have taken care of her and taken care of her" Adit replied sincerely.

"Thank you, Om. Then see you at Grandma's?" reyhan said as he walked toward his car, which was parked not far from his grandmother's car.

Today, for the first time Reyhan came to visit the grave of the father, whom he had long forgotten. Not to forget exactly, but his newly known reality. Who brought him just to see and pray for the father to be calm in nature there.
