Love Chain

Bringing Mr. Darmadi home.

Mr. Rekso went straight to the airport. He still has a little time. Hope it's not too late.

The last plane from Jakarta landed 20 minutes later than the schedule. Mr. Rekso still had time to park the vehicle and ran small towards the exit door passengers on the 1st floor.

He ran panting towards the arrival door on the upper floor of Kulon Progo airport.

...○○○○...

"Danur.bapak wait for you outside" so the short message of Mr. Rekso to Danur.

Danur looked at his father's whatsapp message, he turned towards Arini who was running lethargic.

Danur drew closer and took Arini's left hand.

"Hey.are you okay?" tanyanya while releasing a small smile.

Arini squeezes Danur's hand..

"I'm fine.I've been sincere no matter what happens.., Danur.." call Arini.

"Why is Arini?" ask Danur.

"When it's true father has left.you don't leave me yes" said Arini, staring with hope.

Danur stopped walking and looked at Arini's face. He rubbed that sad face..

"Coini..Danur promised to take care of you until the end of my life.."

"Alhamdulillah.."

"Yuk.kita came out.my father was waiting outside he said"

They walk hand in hand.

Mr. Rekso saw the two young people feeling joy even though his best friend had just died, but he was sure this was his son's future wife.

"Sir.have it been a long time?" greet Danur while kissing her father's hand.

"Dak.ayah has just arrived" replied Mr. Rekso.

"Good night sir." said Arini while kissing Rekso's hand. The old man rubbed the hair on Arini's head affectionately.

Mr. Rekso can no longer hold back what he has in mind, he immediately holds Arini like his own son.

"I'm sorry, son, but you have to tell me that.." The belly up Mr. Rekso spoke Arini was already screaming and crying in the old man's arms.

Fortunately, the airport was very quiet just a few people there.

"Oh my God, sir! I have felt.I heard the whisper of my father's voice in my ear! Huuo..." Arini faltered in his speech.

"Who's tough, son.sook, now we take your father.he's still in the hospital.we're all there"

Danur immediately took Arini's hand and followed his father's steps walking towards the car.

...○○○○○...

All were silent a thousand languages while they were in the vehicle heading towards Klaten.

Danur approached and continued to hold Arini's palm.

"Do you want me to take the vehicle, sir?" ask Danur later.

"It's okay.you are still tired of new until from Jakarta" replied Mr. Rekso.

"Sorry.So you said that your father had whispered.You mean how is Arini?" ask Rekso to Arini.

"Me and Danur when I was at the Cafe in Jakarta, I was able to hear the voice of my father saying Alah Akbar.that's it, something strange indeed.although faint but I was aware it was the voice of my father"

"Hmm. Strange yes, maybe I spit before you go and that's with your teeth"

"Stay far, sir?" ask Danur.

"A little while to..Alhamdulillah the streets deserted ga so rame, ga lama ko we will be

there" replied Rekso.

20 Minutes later, the vehicle approached the hospital.

...○○○○○...

With great heart Mr. Rekso parked the vehicle in the hospital parking lot.

"Let's get down.."

"You still have a strong road?" tanya Danur whispered a little.

Arini did not reply just nodding her head. Suddenly his stomach felt nauseous and his mouth dry.

Not until the door arrived, he lost consciousness and fell unconscious.

Danur instantly caught Arini's limp body helpless..

"Sir! Arini's fainted!" yell Danur.

"Oh God! gendong Arini lulls a long chair near the security guard!"

A security guard who saw him immediately ran over.

"Ouch! Why this?" he asks.

"Sir.please get one glass of water if there is one" said Danur.

Danur immediately threw Arini in a long chair near the table of Satpam sir.

Mr. Rekso took an old newspaper on the table of Satpam and swung it near Arini's head giving a little wind.

Danur affectionately stroked the hair on Arini's head.

"Dad.." said Danur slowly.

"Yes Danur..What's up?" replied his father limp.

"Let me take care of Arini until the end of my life father.then why I love and love this child"

"Thank God if that's your wish.dad agreed and that's what the late Darmadi also wanted.now depends Arini.whether he wants it or not.."

"We wait until all the death of Mr. Darmadi is over, I'll ask Arini"

Just now Danur said so suddenly Arini complained and opened his eyes slowly land.

Arini sat down and rubbed her face. He looked at Rekso and Danur.

"Yes Allah..Rekso delivered me to my father, I was ready" Arini said still in a weak voice.

"But try to drink this water a little so that you are stronger" said Mr. Rekso while giving a bottle of aqua that was just given by Mr. Satpam.

Danur helps open the bottle cap and while hugging Arini he helps bring the water closer from the bottle.

...○○○○○...

The journey to the morgue feels heavy through Arini.every step as if he carries a burden that scolded on his back.

He took Danur's hand and hugged her. Danur replied by giving a warm hug.

After speaking with the guard, the three of them went inside.

In front of the body of Mr. Darmadi who was wrapped in a shroud, Arini put his right palm on his father's cheek.

"Yuk dad.we go home. Arini is ready"

Mr. Rekso gave the language to Danur, the young man understood and embraced Arini they walked out of the morgue followed by Mr. Rekso.

The delivery of the body was done briefly and the body of Mr. Darmadi was immediately inserted into the ambulance.

Danur and Arini also sat next to the body of Mr. Darmadi who was stiffened in the ambulance.

The hearse came out of the Islamic hospital with a strobe light but without a sound. The vehicle runs slowly under the rain which starts to fall again.

Danur touched Arini's hand and gave a small smile.

"You're okay?" ask Danur.

"No Danur.I'm fine.tonight let dad rest at home, tomorrow after dawn we'll bury dad next to mom's grave.maybe once we're home I'll contact all of dad's brothers"

"May Mr. Mur and Tasya be with us tomorrow morning..Insha Allah, and if you allow me to be the Imam at prayer time together"

"Thank you Danur, I'm grateful you're doing that, it's an honor for me"

Arini looked down and hugged her father's body. Danur rubbed Arini's back.

"In the near future we will reach your house Arini, you must be tired.here close to me"

Arini complied and he retreated, lovingly Danur put Arini's head on his chest while continuing to stroke Arini's head.
