Last Mate

254. Non-existent

Iyan was silent hearing the man's words. He couldn't possibly tell the story to Orange and Aska. He closed his eyes for a moment. Trying to communicate with the man. Iyan nodded small. There's something that the man said.

Finally, Iyan turned her body around. Staring toward Aska and Orange with different eyes..

"Bang Aska and Kak Jingga better go to the doctor's house."

The eyes of Orange and Aska widened to hear what Iyan said. Their chests were both beating.

"What's the matter, Yan?"

Iyan was silent. His mouth was muddled, he could not speak. Only his eyes could speak. Not yet Iyan spoke, Aska's phone rang. Both of his eyebrows swooped so sharply.

"Sir Aska .. Doctor Eki-"

Deg. Deg. Deg.

Aska's heart was already beating fast. He was afraid of what Aleesa said to happen.

"Why?"

"He died."

Aksa was like a person who was short of breath. The phone in the ear just went down. Everyone stared in confusion.

"Dad," call Orange.

"Dec, what's wrong with you?" ask the mother.

Chief Iyan lowered his head. He knew this was going to happen. At what time and minutes to what time.

"Dad Eki ...." Aska couldn't explain.

"Why with Dad?" ask Orange with concern.

"Dad .. no."

Tears just flow from the orange eye. His heart ached, his chest tightened and his mouth was unable to say.

Ayanda had embraced the body of Orange denhan so tightly. Keep calming the daughter-in-law who is still frozen.

"Patience to you, son. The patient." That's what Ayanda said.

"I was just a dream, wasn't I, Mom?" Pain in hearing the speech of the orange. Likewise with Aska who has hugged his wife.

"It's a dream, isn't it, Dad. Mother's just a dream, isn't she." His mouth said only a dream, but his eyes were streaming with very heavy tears. While the four children of Aska and Jingga are now silent. Fall asleep so soundly.

"It's real, Bun. Dad has left us."

The orange leg was unable to support his body. If, Aska is not alert, it is certain that Orange will fall.

"Mother!"

All Wiguna's families have come to the house occupied by doctor Eki. Arya and Rion are no exception..The four sons of Aska and Orange were invited there. Iyan told his two brothers to put the quartet next to the body. It is very dangerous, especially if they are babies. However, in the end Aksa and Jingga agreed to have their four children placed next to the father's body.

"Sir Aska, sorry," said Akbar the nurse doctor Eki.

"Why?" ask Aska who is busy with her phone. He's calling the funeral.

Akbar handed a piece of paper to Aska. The husband of the orange looked confused. But he did get the letter..

"That's a letter written by the Doctor. He said to Mr. Aska and Ms. Jingga."

Aska opened the paper. He read one word on the white paper.

For my son and daughter-in-law.

Thank you both for taking me back. Don't mind how you used to be. Bad father, the hateful father you don't care. You even forgive all the sins that you have ever committed.

Aska ....

You are a good man. You are a truly sincere man. Behind your cruel demeanor, there is a tenderness that not everyone has. I'm so happy to have your daughter-in-law. I am also very confident that you can be a good priest and father to your children's Orangs. Dad's pointing orange, yeah. Love and love him. Don't ever hurt him. Orange has been feeling a lot of pain from Dad. Don't do that to the orange.

Oranges ....

I'm sorry, Son. I've been wrong to treat you too your Mother. He was also very bad to Dea and Ayna. I'm really sorry, son. The child that I once thought was useless is now the father's savior. You and your husband can forgive me. Want to accept Dad even though I've been so mean to you two.

Son, when you read Dad's handwriting this means Dad's gone. Father has gone and left you with your children. Don't be sad, son. Don't waste your tears crying over a father we should have put in a nursing home or on the street. To enjoy the karma that God has given. Dad's shy, son. You don't deserve to be your father. You're too good for dad.

I hope you two will always be together until death do us part. You two are good people that God will always limit. Don't bother burying me, son. I prepared my own tomb. I don't deserve to be buried in a good place. Ask Akbar where Dad's eternal home is. He knows his place.

One more, Son. Never tell your four grandchildren that doctor Eki Mandala is their grandfather. Bad man's father doesn't deserve to be called that way by your four cute kids. Let them only know Giondra Aresta Wiguna as their grandfather. I don't deserve to be called that way.

Again, I'm sorry. Dad can't give you anything. It's just a wound so deep that you've received. Wounds that never have a cure. You will probably remember it all the time. Again, forgive me, son. From you I understand real sincerity. Thank you for forgiving Dad. Thank you for being born into the world to make me a good human being.

Your dear father, Aska, and your four children. I'm a good-bye, son.

Orange tears just flow. Sad for sure. However, he must accept God's destiny of losing. He must be strong because this is common in his life. The mother, Dea, Ayna. They are three very dear orange women. But God loves them more. Take them so fast. I haven't been able to feel much happiness, but they have to go.

"Why does it hurt? Mother's heart feels torn apart," lirih Orange. His hands did not hold Askara's waist.

"We must accept God's destiny. Follow scenario. Man is created from the ground and returns to the ground as well."

The quartet was not invited to the funeral. Orange with all its might held back tears. He had to let go of his father. Arya and Rion looked at each other. This funeral was no stranger to the two of them, especially Rion.

"It's like repeating a moment, yes," Arya led her to Rion.

"Maybe this is a funeral for humans who are cruel and karmic," replied Rion so sharply.

"Includes you dong."
