Forever Love

Sudden Death

Qania got out of the taxi and ran towards the room that Lala had told her about on the phone. From last night Nilam's grandmother was unconscious and when Qania had just landed her feet in the city her phone rang and it was a call from Lala.

Lala informed him that Nilam's grandmother could not be saved again since an hour ago when Qania was still on the plane and Qania could only be contacted. Qania almost fell down earlier but he remembered Lala so he tried to brace himself and immediately looked for public transportation to get to the hospital.

Qania set her breath as soon as she reached the front of the room that Lala was referring to. After he felt good, then he walked slowly to the room from outside was heard the sound of Lala's cry.

Chequek...

Lala turned her head as soon as the door of the room opened, she who was crying immediately ran into Qania's embrace. His face looked so dull with puffy eyes as it continued to bulge.

“Kak, grandma has left us sister, hikss” cries Lala in decapan Qania.

Qania did not make a sound, she clenched tightly onto Lala's body trying to channel her power. Somehow hearing the word die did not make Qania's tears drop. Though his heart was very sore but still not a single drop of tears escaped from both of his neutrals.

Qania let go of her embrace and walked over to the gurney where Nilam's necropolis was already covered by a white cloth.

“Innalillahi wainnailaihiraji” said Qania after opening Nilam's body cover, his heart was broken but he could not shed his tears.

“Kak, I can't take grandma out because I haven't taken care of her administration” said Lala who was standing next to Qania.

Qania was silent, there was a sense of annoyance because the hospital hampered the funeral procession of Nilam but he also understood it had become a procedure from the hospital.

Qania stared at the old face she thought of as her grandmother. He then covered Nilam's face again.

“La, you wait here and brother will take care of his administration” said Qania as he walked to the administration.

After taking care of the administration, Qania brought Nilam's nek in an ambulance with Lala in it to Nilam's house for a procession before the funeral.

Arriving there, Qania was made speechless with the condition of the house that had no occupants at all and no one even waited for them to take care of the body of Nilam's nek.

“Where is Nilam's son?” qania asked with a cold aura on Lala.

“They went nowhere to take the money away brother. We have to how now?” lala replied, asking because she did not know what to do.

“How?” asked one of the officers from the hospital who helped deliver the body, he opened the back door of the car because he felt long enough to wait.

“Can you be patient for a moment? We are thinking too. I'll increase your pay if you mind waiting for lama” snapped Qania scared Lala.

The officer was silent, he stared dislikefully at Qania for feeling underestimated.

“What is this?” ask the driver who came down.

“Look sir, actually we both are not family of this corpse. And we do not know what to do because there is no family here” replied Qania.

“Oh like that is the problem, why not say from earlier. Then let's go back to the hospital and let the process be done by the hospital and the body will be buried in TPU hospital” said the driver.

Qania initially felt objectionable but he could not do anything because this was not his area.

“How is kak?” ask Lala.

“Ya already Sir, just do” replied Qania follow.

The officer who had been in a dispute with Qania again closed the car door and headed forward and entered with the driver. They returned to the hospital to bury Nilam.

“Excuse Qania, Nek” shrieked Qania while staring at the body that had been stretched stiff.

Nilam's funeral was completed, but not at the TPU hospital because Qania changed her mind. He asked the driver and one officer to bring Nilam's body to the local TPU by giving them a reward. And finally Nilam was buried in TPU which according to Qania is very appropriate as his final resting place.

..................

Qania and Lala were packing their belongings in Nilam's now very quiet boarding house. Lala continued to cry because she remembered the times during her comfortable home. He also remembered the figure of his grandmother who loved him so much.

Qania was the same, but she did not cry at all, only her heart felt bitter and tight but could not cry.

“Maybe I've been crying too much for Arkana's departure so my tears can no longer come out when I watch death in front of me” muttered Qania while stuffing her stuff into the suitcase.

Lala came to Qania's room with a backpack and two boxes containing her belongings. Qania, who had also finished, immediately invited Lala out.

They had cleaned the house and tidied up the items that had been damaged by the loan shark's men last night after they returned from the orphanage to do tahlilan nek Nilam. Qania asked the orphanage to hold a tahlilan nek Nilam with him who funded all his needs for the next three nights.

“Kak, let's go. I'm afraid that soon the loan shark will come and do bad things to us” take Lala who does look scared.

Qania, who had just pulled her suitcase to get out, nodded after Lala. He closed the door of the room he had occupied for a year. Lama Qania stared at the room inside Nilam's house until some of their photos were displayed on the wall to make his heart crumble.

Qania walked over and took the framed photo and stuffed it in her suitcase as well as Lala. After that they went out and closed the door of the house but not in the key because they did not have the key.

Lala and Qania stood staring at the house from the front yard. Lala shed tears and Qania simply fell silent holding tightness.

“Ya already, just let's go” said Qania flat.

Stunned, he thought Qania would sue him as well as the loan shark's men. But what he thinks is not in line with reality.

“We should find a taxi just” invite Qania who is subscribed by Lala.

The two walked out with Qania carrying the two suitcases she pulled and Lala carrying her backpack and carrying two boxes in her hand.

They continued to walk in search of transport but no one had yet passed by until they stopped in front of the cafe which witnessed Qania being humiliated by a man with the same face as his Arkaniah.

Qania smiled wryly at the bustling cafe, trying to shake off Tristan's shadow from his memory that had somehow suddenly flashed through his mind.

As Qania and Lala were daydreaming, a taxi passed in front of them and it was fortunate that Qania woke up before the taxi got away.

“Pak take us to a hotel near here ya” said Qania when they were in the car.

“Good mbak” sahut then start running his car.

“Ke hotel kak?” ask Lala in shock.

“Yes, besides sister is still tired. We rest first at the hotel and later in the afternoon we will find a place kost” replied Qania.

Stunned, he still did not believe that Qania would take him to stay at the hotel. Qania who saw the cute expression of Lala who was still looking at her chuckled.

“Ya, and if we do not find a boarding place then we will rent a hotel for the next three years” added Qania who actually want to prank Lala only.

“Appaa? Rent a hotel during ti..three years kak?” peekik Lala made Qania hold back a laugh while the taxi driver just smiled while shaking his head.

Qania simply replied with a nod which made Lala even more hysterical.

“So I know you're the son of the sultan but you don't have to stay in a hotel for three years. Don't you know how much room rent money was in the hotel last night?” cecar Lala with his frenzy.

“If my hotel starts from a room of hundreds of thousands to millions of nights” replied Qania lightly.

“Appaaa? Just last night till it sounded million? Hah what's up with wallet kak Qania who hotel a lot and pinak it” peekik Lala while imagining the money Qania made from hotel room rental money.

“Ya may be almost a hundred million per night” said Qania who even though she did not know how much her father-in-law's income, she only intended to work on Lala alone.

“Se.. one hundred million a night?” Lala stuttered so surprised, she felt like she would have a heart attack.

“Hmm, that's my new hotel. Not to mention cafes, restaurants and some other types of businesses” added Qania, he actually did not want to show off, he just liked the expression of Lala who he thought was so funny and adorable.

“Don't continue, I can die suddenly because I imagine how much money will go into my wallet every day” said Lala while covering her ears.

Qania finally broke her laughter upon hearing Lala's words that really tickled her heart.

“But La, it's not my money. It was papa Setya” said Qania after being satisfied with laughter.

“Oh I left the money all brother, hah I can't breathe because I think of rupiah sister” said Lala while stroking her chest.

“No, I only get half a billion kok a month” snacks,.

“Oh Only half a milliyard. Uh Apppaaaa?” peekik Lala made Qania laugh again.

Lala continued to hold onto her chest while Qania held onto her stomach which felt so painful from continuing to laugh. Do not ask the taxi driver who was about fifties years old, he just wanted to scream like Lala but he could stand it and once he heard Qania's laughter, he realized that the girl who was showing off her wealth was just joking.

Lala continued to regulate her heart rate after getting heart gymnastics from Qania in the morning towards noon. While Qania, he is now chatting with taxi drivers to ask where the location of the boarding house is strategically located and the environment is comfortable.

The taxi driver stopped in front of the star hotel where Qania first stayed when she came to take the college entrance test. Back Lala was surprised by the grandeur of the hotel, he was not constantly amazed.

“Thank you sir, later do not forget tomorrow morning you come to this hotel to take us looking for a boarding house, said Qania after giving money to the taxi driver.

“Siap mbak” said happy.

The taxi passed, then Qania invited Lala to come in and book a room. After getting the room key they rushed in. Tired and hungry, Qania simply ordered her food and Lala through an online food ordering app.

Half an hour of waiting finally their food arrived and the two ate quietly. After eating both of them immediately sprawled on the bed.
