Liz Nadia's

Goodbye

"He's gone, Nadiah."

As fast as hitting the cymbal drum, the equivalent of that was the sound of Liz Nadiah's shock. He looked at Andromeda who was also looking at him while shaking his head. "No, you must be wrong," he said in disbelief. His eyes have been glazed over.

"If I'm wrong, then a doctor must be right."

Andromeda's reply left Liz Nadiah stunned. Her tears had fallen along with her blinking. Then slowly, he took Qinay's wrist, groped for a moment his pulse point to convince himself, and hoped that Andromeda's speech was completely wrong.

But judging from his body that suddenly sat down collapsed with a body shaking and shoulders shaking, all could judge without needing an explanation from him. Qinay ... is completely gone. "Naaayyy," Liz Nadiah's roar was full of wounds. He lowered his head as he continued to hold Qinay's hand which felt cool.

Simultaneously, it was seen that the Fire Officers had just arrived. Two cars behind him. They began to move quickly to carry out their respective duties.

Liz Nadiah doesn't care about the surroundings. He was still humbling his body around Qinay, as if enjoying his last seconds before the girl's body was interred.

"Nad." Andromeda stroked his back gently. "It has. Ikhlaskan." He lifted Liz Nadiah's shoulder slowly. Help the woman to rise from her position. "I ask all of you to help take care of the body" Andromeda asked as he looked at the people who were huddling around him - full of hope.

All nodding signs are responding.

Qinay's face and smile still continue to loom in the eye temple as well as Liz Nadiah's mind. Tears still seem reluctant to stop breaking out of his glands.

It feels like parting too quickly takes on a role, in a meeting that hasn't even shaped the year.

The land became the world's barrier between Liz Nadiah and Qinay.

That bittersweet.

Goodbye, Qinay ....

Andromeda crouched down beside Liz Nadiah who was still unmoved in front of a pile of earth with flowers sprinkled on it.

Qinay has just been buried. Mourners were already seen moving away from the area, one after another.

"We're home."

Liz Nadiah turned to her left side where Andromeda was crouching. Behind him, Sean stood silently watching the bitterness in a mute.

"Going home? Where should I go?" ask her with a raucous voice. The fragile face, still enough to describe all his wounds and suffering.

"My house is too big for me to live alone. There are plenty of rooms you can choose."

Liz Nadiah looked at him with a frowning face. "Your house?"

Andromeda nodded. "Yes. Do you mind? Or ... Are you afraid?"

Liz Nadiah's view looks dull. Andromeda understands that. "At least temporarily, until your house is renovated later."

Liz Nadiah replied, Andromeda's phone ringing sound broke the rhythm. Andromeda looked behind him looking at Sean.

"Tirta Patih, Young Master," said Sean after seeing the name plastered on the screen of his master's phone.

Andromeda took it out of Sean's hand. "Yes, Tirta."

"...."

"alright. We talk in my house. I will take Nadiah there" Andromeda said, turning to Liz Nadiah. Staring at the woman was steady, as if her words were the stark answer of her previous question. "okay." Then hand the phone back to Sean.

Liz Nadiah still looks worried. "But Andro, Qinay's tahlilan show is just about to start this afternoon."

Andromeda smilingly patted his shoulder at a glance. "You take it easy, I have handed over some money to the caretaker of the mosque in your place, to take care of the tahlil until the fortieth day."

Isn't that too surprising? The man ... how can it be? Liz Nadiah had not even thought that far. He stared at Andromeda with his eyes wide and his mouth slightly open. "You ...."

"Wait, Andro!"

Their steps stopped. Andromeda looked at him with demanding eyes. What's again? "I have to see Grandpa Panca first."

"Grandfather Panca?" The name was quite foreign to Andromeda's ears.

"Yes, he's my grandfather. He lives in a small hut south of my house. I've been taking care of him all this time. So if I go .. he'll be abandoned." Liz Nadiah's voice is weakening. It sounds like there is confusion behind it.

"Then?" Andromeda was actually quite surprised by the expression. The reason, he did not know at all if Liz Nadiah still had a family, other than Zack Shangra and Muana-who are still alive.

Liz Nadiah was silent. Quite hesitant to express his wishes. If this is the case, then obviously he will trouble Andromeda even more, he thought gamang.

"alright. We'll take him along." It is not Andromeda if it is not responsive enough with such a gaze. "Sean, let's get Nadiah's grandfather first."

..........

After going through a series of pickups, also answering various curiosity questions Grandpa Panca on the way, finally the car that Sean drove had arrived in the courtyard of the Andromeda mansion in the city center.

Everyone get down from the car. Sean seems to help Liz Nadiah get Grandpa Panca.

"Sean, take grandfather to the guest room. Let him rest. After that, you find a nurse to help Nadiah take care of her while here."

Liz Nadiah was quite flabbergasted by the order. He considered quite an objection. "Andro, isn't that overdone. I can still take care of him."

"No, Nadiah. You'll be very busy after this." Andromeda looked back at Sean. And the man only nodded - quite understanding of the wishes of his master.

Liz Nadiah sighed. The unpleasant feeling increasingly enveloped him. Andromeda has done enough for him. With what will he reply?

"Don't think of anything. I sincerely did everything for you" Andromeda said after the twin doors of his house swallowed Sean and Grandpa Panca.

"But, Andro ...."

"That's it. We're inbound. Tirta can destroy my house if we let it wait too long" Andromeda said again, pointing to the big motorbike owned by Tirta Patih which had been parked on the other side of his yard - whether since when.

Liz Nadiah just nodded. It still felt too silly to reply to the man's joke.

And it's true. Just step they reach the middle of the room ....

"I'm sorry I didn't bring my girlfriend to this meeting" said Tirta Patih, who had been sitting on one of the couches in the room, with a cup of coffee made by Magda on the table in front of her. "You make me jealous."

Andromeda only has a flat face. He walked up to his best friend followed by Liz Nadiah behind him. "I suggest you don't try, Tirta."

"Why?" tanya Tirta Patih wants to know.

Andromeda has taken a sitting position opposite Tirta. And Liz Nadiah on her left. "I'm afraid your fiance will get entangled in my charms, then throw you away."

A tickling smile flashed on Tirta Patih's face. "And I'm sure, you're not the kind of guy who wants to put up the rest."

Andromeda just smiled in response. "That could have changed, if the news you're carrying right now, it's not enough to make me, nor is Nadiah calm."

"Haha." Gelak Tirta Patih filled the room. "I'll make sure you grimace in disgust when you try it! Because my weapon has made the hole loosen like rubber in kerosene. Isn't that bad?"

Liz Nadiah looks uncomfortable with the two men's unfaithful conversation. He threw his attention to the cell phone he was holding.

Again, Qinay's face in the portrait in the mobile phone gallery, added to the tear of the wound in his heart that was still very wet. I really miss your mint tea, Nay .... His fingers touched the lit screen, smooth.

Catching those tears, Andromeda moved a palm-begging Tirta Patih to stop his absurd prank. "Nad, it looks like you need a break."

Liz Nadiah quickly swept away her tears. Turn off the phone screen, then shake. "No. I'm okay," he looks. "So Mr Tirta, what news have you brought for me exactly?"
