LAST GREETINGS

Episode 63-2

^^^"Mom did not forbid you to leave. You have the right to make your life choices. I'm just worried, Mom and Dad are far away. Are you sure you're going ?"^^^

...----------------...

Father and mother came out of Tania's room and let Tania rest. Her mother closed the door and with her husband stood for a moment in front of Tania's bedroom door. The mother hugged her husband and cried in his arms.

"Who mother would have the heart to see her daughter go through a poignant event like this ?"

"Easy, Mom. Don't cry anymore. Hide your tears. We wish Tania all the best, may she get through this."

The father hugged his wife tightly, stroked her shoulders and slowly tried to wipe her tears.

"Mother is worried that Tania is going away from us. I'm worried Mike will keep following Tania wherever Tania goes. You know, their love is very strong."

Dad didn't say anything. He just kept quiet and hugged his grieving wife thinking about his daughter's fate.

"If only Mother had not prevented Tania's decision at that time to marry Mike who had been lying in a lifeless state, I'm sure Mike will always appear before Tania because of the marriage sacrament bond they've created."

"Yes, I understand Mom's concern. Don't be sad anymore. We must support Tania's decision to leave. I hope slowly he forgets all this."

...****************...

Tania pulls the woven sheath from Mike's mother and covers her body. He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and tried to escape for a moment the haru event he had just experienced.

Mike has been gone for eternity - leaving behind a heartache and grief that will at some point end. But how could the poem be in Tania's bag ? Is this a sign that Mike will not let go of Tania and will not let Tania fall into the arms of another man someday ?

Tania was clean hard at the time - in the morgue - to keep marrying Mike and allowing herself to become a widow, living her days alone. His love is so strong for Mike, and Mike loves Tania so much.

"Auuhh, sullen," complained Tania at one point when Mike pulled his hand and sucked his bleeding thumb from the glass shard in the kitchen.

"Other times be more careful, dear. Luckily, this is just a small wound. Could be infected if the wound is deeper."

The romantic memories that Mike had done to her one by one are coming back. He had wanted to close his eyes, forcing himself to rest for a while but now he was only able to flip his body because his eyes could not be closed anymore.

"You know what, Tania ? Whatever I'll do to be with you, even against the world if I have to."

"Is anyone against our relationship ?"

"There must not always be anyone who opposes. Whatever. Whether it is nature, time, even death. I won't care."

"Is that how much you love me ?"

"Tell me, Tania. With what will you be able to measure the magnitude of my love for you ?"

Tania pulled the bolster pillow and hugged it very tightly. It was eager for him to shout at this moment, cursing all the beautiful memories that now remain in the story, which now leaves a wound in his heart.

"You're right, Mike. If only time could be turned back, I would prevent you from taking care of everything alone. You stay at the boarding house, let Kevin and Mega do it for us. I'll ask them for help."

Tania cursed herself. Fortunately, he did not blame God for everything he was going through at this time. He was sure that Tuhah had provided something beautiful behind all this. God cannot give trials beyond the limits of His people's ability.

"Yes, God knows I can get through this ordeal. I can definitely."

Tania got up from her bed, walked towards the prayer corner in her room and lit a candle there. He sat back on the edge of his bed, closed his eyes and fervently prayed.

...****************...

Father, mother and sister were waiting at the dinner table but Tania was not seen from the door. The mother looked at her husband, as if to say something.

"Let Tania alone first, ma'am. He will soon be out of his room. I know, Tania's a tough kid."

With complete confidence the father tried to convince his wife. He was very sure that Tania would go out and eat with them because this afternoon, when he was about to enter Tania's room he saw Tania was cross-legged on the edge of his bed and solemnly prayed.

The mother took a deep breath and let go. It felt heavy in the chest to see his daughter's condition like this. The mother lowered her head and tried to hide her sadness.

It has been two months since Mike left them all, leaving a deep heartache for Tania, his girlfriend he left the day before their wedding.

The mother raised her face when she realized someone was pulling a chair. No one dared to say a word. With a tired face, Tania looked at her mother and gave a smile to her mother.

"Sorry, Tania just finished her shower. Let's eat, Mom. Tania's hungry."

His mother remained silent without even returning a word. He immediately prepared the dishes and distributed them to all who were already there and circled the dining table.

"Tania has thought carefully, Mom. Tania had to continue living alone. Let Mike accompany Tania if he doesn't want to be far from Tania."

Silent mood. There was no reply from his father or mother.

"Mom doesn't forbid you, son," said his mother after a moment of silence.

"Mom is only worried about your situation later if you are away from Father and Mother. Another was now another. There was Mike looking after you....."

"Now Mike is still guarding Tania, Mom. I don't have to worry."

His mother took a deep breath. He relented and gave his daughter a chance to determine the course of her life. There, his father still quietly said nothing.

"Tania knows that Mom and Dad are worried about Tania. Tania promised, Tania will be fine. Father and Mother and wish Tania all the best. Tania must have been able to get through all of this thanks to the prayers of Father and Mother."

The dining room was silent again. Only the sound of a spoon when it collides with the plate.

Sometimes Tania tries to look tough by asking her sister to joke. His sister responded to Tania's joke. Father and mother just smiled at the behavior of their two children.

"Anyway, if sister Nia wants to marry Bimo must come to Jakarta. If you need to go home and get married here, so we don't have to go all the way to Jakarta."

Again the atmosphere was silent for a moment. The mother looked at her husband. Tania just smiled and stood up to her sister, then hugged her sister tightly.

"If it's time, Kak Nia will ask first you want Kak Nia married in Jakarta or here."

"But Sister Nia has to promise, Bimo does not want to see Kak Nia sad anymore."

Without answering her sister's plea, Tania simply smiled and kissed her sister's cheek and returned to her place.
