Last Mate

153. Sudden

There were four couples at a restaurant table. There are Aksa, Aska, Fahrani, and Christina and their respective partners. There is relief in the heart of Orange because the two women who used to love Aska are already in pairs.

"You don't have to be afraid, Orange," said Christina.

"I also have a better man than your pet lizard playboy, too" Fahrani added.

"As far as you are on. Mah hungry cave," said Aska indifferent.

They all laughed, including the orange. He also sees that Christina and Fahrani are not random people and they deserve a better man than Aska.

They tell a lot about personal things. Orange also seems familiar with Christina as well Fahrani. While Aska and Aksa also appear to have a serious conversation with Christina's husband and future husband Fahrani.

That familiarity should come to a halt when Aksara's phone rings. He saw the name of the brother who called him.

"Bang, Addhitama's Papih is dead."

Aksa's body stiffened and her mouth felt faint. All eyes were on the silent Aksara with an unexpected facial expression.

Aska's phone rang, her eyebrows swooping sharply when the name on her phone was Aleesa's.

"Why Brother Sa?"

"Opa died."

Aska was really surprised. He recalled his conversation with the nephew during a lecture at Aksara's house.

"Om, it's been three nights that Oma has always come. Oma always said Oma would leave and was already happy. Oma was happy in heaven."

"Oma also advised to keep, Baba, Om Ipang, the same Uncle Papih. He said, only the three of them were able to strengthen each other. What does that mean, Om?"

Now, the question Aleesa had in mind was answered already. The words of an Addhitama are true. Exactly one month of the departure of the grandfather, Addhitama is now following his beloved friend. Friend of life and true.

They all immediately headed for Addhitama's residence. Previously they changed clothes first to the mansion owned by Gio. It turned out that there was already Rion and Arya as well Iyan who had been waiting for them.

Addhitama's residence was filled with many mourners. Although his body has not yet arrived at the funeral home, many people have paid their last respects to him.

"Sister," called Riana to Echa who was calming her first daughter down.

Aleena is the closest granddaughter to Addhitama. He who feels very lost in the figure of his beloved grandfather.

"The sudden departure of Papih" said Echa with a look full of sadness. Rion was already embracing Echa's shoulder, he knew very well that this daughter felt very lost. Rion admits Addhitama is a very good in-law. His daughter has always been treated very well by Addhitama. His three grandchildren were very close to the deceased.

"We were told when ten and Papih's condition was critical." Echa couldn't hold back her tears. In his eyes Addhitma was an excellent in-law. He always regarded his daughters-in-law as his own.

"Be patient, brother," said Aska. Riana had already frozen Echa's body from the left side. Orange showed his sad face.

Aksa had already hugged Aleena's body crying incessantly. "Why does Opa have to go? Why Uncle?"

Aksa could feel the sadness that Aleena felt. Just like he was when he was abandoned by his beloved grandfather. It is hard to accept the reality. Moreover, the age of the triplets is still very small.

Aska was already looking for Aleesa, she was very sure that the child must be in a quiet corner of the room. That's right, Aleesa was sitting in the corner. He was laying his face on his knees. Regretting ability. Every time he saw someone's death he would definitely blame himself.

The voice of the om made Aleesa look up and she cried even more loudly. Aska hugged Aleesa's body. This was not the first time Aleesa had been like this. When Grandpa Genta was nonexistent, he really blamed himself.

"Why does this always happen to Brother Sa, Om?"

Aleesa's voice was already hoarse. Aska took Aleesa to the place where her family had gathered. Aleena is in the deck of Aksara. Aleeya is in Rion Juanda's arms. The three of them were suffering a very deep loss. Nesha, he's calming the son. Elyna was looking down deeply. Like a lot of burdens he was thinking about.

Half an hour later, the body arrived at the funeral home. The crying broke. The four grandchildren of Addhitama have embraced Addhitama's body that has been stretched stiff.

"Wake, Opa. Wake up!"

Cries and cries came out from the mouths of Addhitama's grandchildren. It shows how much they love their grandfather.

It was not only his four grandchildren who wept over Adhitama's departure. Rifal also looks very hit by the departure of his beloved father. He could not stop his tears. His mouth was hard to say anything. As for Radit, he had already tightly embraced Echa's body. Likewise with Rindra who was in Nesha's arms. However, Elyna could only look at Rifal without daring to get close to her husband.

"Mas Tama!"

A man's voice echoed and mourners turned their heads. Satria was bathed in tears and rushed to embrace Addhitama's lifeless body.

"Why did you first stay with me? Why, Mas?"

Traveling suddenly without pain and without any symptoms is more painful than being left behind when you have tried your hardest to take care of it when struggling with pain. It's like a nightmare in broad daylight. Their hearts were like they were hit by a huge rock. There are no tears that don't fall there. The twilight man who was in the morning still had time to sunbathe is now gone. There was no message, no word Addhitama said. The witness of Addhitama's unconsciousness is Elyna. He who found his father-in-law had fainted in the living room. He also took Addhitama to the hospital.

Tears of the three Addhitama children spilled when the om came. As hard as they could hold it, they were unable to contain it. This is the toughest blow for Radit. Since childhood only get affection from the father, now his father has left him and met his beloved mamih. Don't be asked how hurt Raditya Addhitama is right now.

Many condolences came from the colleagues of the deceased. Gio and Ayanda immediately flew to Jakarta when they heard the news.

Ayanda hugged Echa's body. He knew his daughter must be very sad. She also hugs the body of Nesha, Addhitama's daughter-in-law whom she already considers her daughter.

"Be patient" said Gio Ketkka hugging Rindra's body.

"Yes, Om." Rindra's voice was still shaking.

Now, Gio hugged the body of the son-in-law. The warm rub of Gio's palm on Radit's back made Radit's tears fall for the umpteenth time.

"Your seed has met your mother now. He also met his best friend." Gio still could not name his father. He was still drowning in deep sorrow.

"Sister Rifal, Key is sorry."

Rifal who had lowered his head earlier immediately turned his head. A woman wearing all black clothes as well as a black veil was already standing behind her. The woman came not alone, but with her family. The canoe is hugging Radit and Sheza is hugging Echa.

For a long time the two people looked at each other without making a sound until at last Rifal rushed to embrace Keysha's body. Spilling all his sadness in the arms of a woman who has not completely disappeared from his memory.

There was a stiffening body there, looking directly at this man who had only been her husband for a month. The husband she had always served well, but never at all had the man seen her.

"Look at me, my husband!"
