Flashback 18 years ago

"Wake up neng, neng woke up.." mother's voice woke up with the sound of crying.

"why ma'am" replied Rere

"Your father breathed like he wanted to. "the mother's voice stopped and then followed by a roaring cry.

Rushing Rere got up and got out of his bed and headed to father's room. "Dad Daddy" Rere cried as he cried. "mother, why mom" Rere continued, shouting and crying.

rere's mom comes to the room and sees dad and Rere holding dad's hand, wait, I want you to call grandpa and grandma at the side house" while running mother came to his parents' house and not long grandfather came and also uncle sister mother. Rere was still crying and the uncle told him that tears should not be shed. Just read the holy verse of the Quran or yasin letter do not cry. it will weigh on the steps of the father when going to go to the ALLAH SWT. Rere kept crying, he imagined how his life was without a father and who would finance the life of his mother and younger sister who was only 2 years old. yes, the age of Rere and Arsyila is indeed far away from 12 years. rere should be the youngest child but why her mother who was then 43 years old pregnant Arsyila may be called the plan of God.

"Dad don't be sad and don't worry mom and Arsyila will take good care of Rere, Rere will be responsible for the life of mom and Arsyila

"Your father is no more" looking up at me, my mother and my three brothers and sisters

"Dad" Rere involuntarily yelled and crawled towards the corpse of the father and hugged him.

"Rere can't be like that, ikhlaskan, your father is no longer sick" so the aunt of the mother stroked his back and whispered the sentence to Rere.

"Don't cry when the tears fall to the cheek, it can't" he continued, and there are also cries of 3 brothers and sisters rere. and when looking back, I saw that my mother was crying and holding Arsyila. Rere the 4th child of 5 brothers. he kept crying and slowly retreated back not wanting to disturb his family who wanted to take care of the body of the father.

Sitting behind with a blank look he thought of his father who had been gone for good, he could no longer meet the father, he could no longer see the father, then what about the fate of his 4 brothers after the father left especially Arsyila who was very small.then he turned to his mother who was used to being spoiled by the father should not work or sell, and then he turned to his mother who was used to being spoiled by his father, let the father find money for the family. Despite living a simple and sometimes difficult life Rere family lived happily, and 2 older brothers and 1 older sister joined with the grandparents of the mother. only Rere who participated father and mother live in one of the cities in Central Java it was caused by economic factors.

After the family's ill father Rere returned to the city where his parents were born and raised in one of the cities in West Java. Rere's father had been diagnosed with lung cancer since Rere was 10 years old, and by the time Rere's father died he was 14. he had been fighting for 4 years, although the sick father still works to fulfill his obligations as a husband and father.Once in a while Rere remembers his father and mother crying together when the father bleeding from the mouth. until the end of his father gave up no longer seeking treatment because the money was very absent, the entire savings run out and often also the father and mother ask for money to seek treatment to the parents of the mother and father's inheritance assets have been sold out, not cheap treatment for cancer. and I already have nothing just stay home in this place grandmother of the father who is now very old. and 1 paddy field for grandma's living expenses and her plans for college cost Rere and her older sister Tia.

"Rere you sleep and you too" said the aunt, looking at Rere's 3 brothers and sisters. "don't cry, your father is no longer sick, and do not cry if your children fall even though you are sad, do not show it to your children" continued the aunt advises the mother. "this is the destiny of ALLAH SWT, SWT, who is more affectionate with your husband abbas" he concluded.

mother did not answer and did not stop crying she was very hit and confused by what happened that can be seen from this mother. "you go to sleep tomorrow mother wake up after morning prayers, sleep for the mother who will take care of Daddy here" said the mother while staring at the death of her husband.

"Rere wake up son, it's dawn, pray there pray father" whispered mother. Rere was silent not begeming but his eyes were already open, he hoped this dream was not the reality, may his father still live and fight against his pain.Slowly Rere crawled towards the door, and saw her mother was staring at the body of her beloved husband while holding Arsyila and occasionally wiping tears on the cheeks of the mother.

"it turns out this is not a dream" Rere said in tears.

preparations for the burial of the father are complete after the dhuhur prayer the father will be taken to the public cemetery to be buried. School friends Rere and Tia also come and participate mensholati Rere's father and tia. after the end of Dad's coffin brought

"Father Daddy" Rere and Tia shouted, as Rere was about to run towards his father with a sprightly aunt hugged Rere tightly and said "flash the neng" then the aunt gave a hand code so that the body continues to be brought to the cemetery there is no way the two children took part in the funeral if seen from the hysterical berata Rere and Tia.

After the coffin of the father is taken to the tomb and after finishing school friends Rere and Tia return to school and before his farewell to the family left behind and bring donations from the school. Coincidentally Rere and Tia attend the same school. Tia is already level 3 SMA and Rere level 1.

Without feeling the tears Rere fell, he fell, he remembered very sad and sad life without a father after the father's departure only this mother who became the backbone of the family because his 5 children had not worked because his 2 sons lost work because there is a unilateral phk of the company.where the company wants to replace permanent employees into contract employees so must change management in his company, and it happened before Rere's father died.

So remember very well Rere only rely on his mother who is only a washing worker and sells traveling fried food. Rere helped his mother before and after school. Rere takes care of his 2-year-old sister. his life is complicated as well as his relationship with his older sister is not so close because they are used to separate where Tia follows the nenenk and Rere follows his parents in one of the cities in Java Middle.

"Dad Rere kangen Daddy, now Rere has a lot of money, but Rere's money can't bring back father" sobs Rere echoed in his room.

"Dad used to say, try yes neng father there is money for sure father can be treated in the hospital and father can be cured" recalls Rere.

Now Rere has money but Rere feels his money is meaningless because it cannot heal and bring the father. Rere continued crying only he felt his sadness.no one knew that the departure of the father scratched the enormous wound and trauma even the geri of his best friend, he said, big family and mother. They think Rere is fine and success is a pride for them without them realizing it's the biggest source of grief for Rere, the money he has can't help bring back his dead father.

"Father Rere kangen" she cried.
