Friend of Longing

Episode 63

The body is now ready to be delivered to the funeral, very deep wounds given by Mr. Ardiantara to the family. Only sincerity and prayer are to be offered even though the heart is so heavy to welcome the departure of a very meritorious hero.

His devotion to the State now means a lot during his departure. It is not easy to erase the memory of the figure of the hero who has now taken his life just for the devotion and peace of the State.

His dream of making a peaceful country has now been done until the blood point of its abolition. Now thanks to his struggle, the country can return as before. Thank you Mr. Ardiantara for your kindness and thanks to your struggle this country can be safe again. That's how people say.

The family delivered to the final resting place of Mr. Ardiantara, with a cry that could not stop. Everyone who took the delivery was dissolved in sadness to feel what the family that was left behind.

The shot in the air has been launched, the ceremony of the release of the General will begin immediately, the praise given for the last time has been delivered. Now the big family has been asked to stand from where he sits, to see the family leader for the last time.

" My husband I hope you're calm there, I'll always pray for you". Mama said with tears that kept on dripping.

" Pa, Aldi and Fahri are already sincere, may you calm down in nature there, you don't need to worry because we will keep the final message that you have said to us, good-bye Pa we love you so much". Said Aldi steadfast, actually his heart was so sick to release his Papa departure.

This is the end of everything, after the family has seen now it is Mr. Ardiantara's turn to be buried. The crying broke out as the lava burrow closed. Deep sadness imagines how life without the Papa they will face in the future.

Ended up with the memories of the Papa, so short time to enjoy every second they spent together. The family that was always filled with laughter has now ended up in tears, because the departure of the Papa makes them have to fall in his sadness.

" Aldi is patient, you have to be strong long life really, do not give up and make your Papa proud of your success later". Said Alda while embracing Aldi.

" Thank you very much". Smilingly.

" Let's go home".

" I still want to be here with Papa Al".

" But Di".

" You better go home first with the rest of the group, I still want to spend my time with Papa".

" If you're here, I'll accompany you here Di, I'll leave you alone here".

" But Al, you better go home and rest, you haven't taken a break from the room".

" You're the same, I'm not your own biarin Di, I'll wait for you here".

" Yaudah it's up to you Al".

Pa you know that Alda is a good boy, and you agree that I will continue to be with Alda, so please pray for me and our blessing that we will always be together, although I don't know what our friendship would be if Alda knew how I felt, Pa. And now a quiet life there Pa I will always pray for you, thank you for all your sacrifice and kindness Pa, I love you more than anything. Aldi.

" Let's Al go home".

" It's done?".

" Already".

" Now Aldi".

" yeah?". Short reply.

" Your Papa's death has left us all deeply wounded, but your Papa has been very meritorious, at that time he was willing to risk his life for the sake of his men who would already be shot by the bullets that had been pointed at him, he said, because he knew his men still had a small family that still needed him, it was because he protected him".

" Why Papa protects him, don't you remember that the family at home is in desperate need of him, even the whole country needs him".

" Your father has a big heart, son, he will not be willing to see others feel misery, that is his principle from the past, he once said that it is better for him to suffer than for others to suffer".

" Why can Papa be as good as uncle?".

" Your father is so good, son, that he is willing to risk his life and death for the sake of others". Obviously, "you also don't have to worry, if you need the figure of Father, you can think of Uncle as your Father, and Uncle will help you and Riki to raise your Papa's military office. And remember this one principle Son, you are now the leader, so let no one else see you as the son of a Master Ardiantara, but everyone else must see you as yourself".

" Good Uncle thank you for always being beside my Papa, thank you for all your kindness Uncle because until Papa died you still remain beside Papa".

" He's Nak together, make your Papa proud because there are still many people who until now ask you to continue your Papa's struggle".

" He's Uncle Aldi will do everything well, Aldi promised, please help Uncle".

" Surely Uncle will help, you don't have to worry".

" Thank you Uncle for giving Riki to keep me Uncle company".

" It is indeed Riki's duty to look after you son, Mr. Ardiantara who has asked Riki to continue Uncle's duty to take care of you".

Aldi just smiled, then leaned his head back by crossing his arms to lean back, recalling the good times with his Papa, it made him dissolve in his sleep, until he forgets that a bitter life will soon await him.

The car had been parked in front of Alda's house, while Aldi was still fast asleep, it made Alda could not bear to wake his best friend.

" I'll be home soon, please tell Aldi to take enough rest and sorry if I can't accompany Aldi today".

" Good Miss it's okay, you've worked so hard for Mr. Aldi's happiness, thank you for taking care of her Miss".

" Both Uncle, it has indeed become my duty".

" Good Miss rest, you're so tired today".

" Good Uncle, Riki I'm sorry". He said out of the car, staring at Aldi who was still asleep.

Aldi take good care of yourself, your Papa's departure makes you slump and you must continue to live all of it sincerely, rest, there are still many things you have to do in the future, he said, and I'm sure you can get through this well. Aldas.
