"Jo, this is Maghrib, we go home yuk! Pity also your mother, she is alone in the hospital, there are only your neighbors who keep must be sad if no one invites to exchange stories and share sadness," said Felix while rubbing the shoulders of Jova, who was not involved in the incident, in order not to continue to grieve, lament the departure of both families. Staring blankly at the two pusara that were still wet.
Indeed, the most frustrating feeling is when we are sad and just want to cry, and contemplate, but there is a reminder to stop crying because it will all be in vain, because it will all be in vain, because things that are gone or broken will not come back or untukuh again.
Jova raised her face again staring at the vast horizon, even the sunlight had dimmed as if telling the inhabitants of the earth that the spread of daylight will change in the evening. After realizing that what was said by Felix was true Jova also looked down again. Stare wryly at the adjoining graves of his father and sister.
"Jini, Dad. We go home first. Jini, Ma'am nitip Daddy, you're happy he's there. This is not farewell because we will meet again. Jova will take good care of Mom, you guys don't worry. As much as possible Jova will try to continue to make Mom happy. You guys are happy there too." Lastly Jova again kissed the headstone of the father alternately with his sister. Cuddling and crying did not reduce her swelling. As sad as it is, life will go on. That's what Jova was trying to think so she kept trying hard because there was a mother who needed her shoulders to lean on, and the hands to pull together to keep going through the day that they were going to keep going.
With heavy footsteps, Jova and Felix left the cemetery again, although for several times Jova turned her body to make sure that this was not a dream.
"We will be going to the hospital this afternoon. Once you get home later you have to quickly clean yourself and prepare your clothes for pity if Mom is left alone in the hospital," said Felix trying to invite communication, so that Jova does not go back and forth turning the body to see the graves of her father and sister.
"Mother must be very sad," raced Jova. Now the woman was walking faster, because she wanted to see her mother soon. Felix was quite proud and salute with the woman, she did not fall into her grief, even though the suffering that befell her was extraordinary.
As Felix said, when he arrived at the house Jova immediately cleaned and prepared a change of clothes for the mother. While Felix asked the RT chairman to take care of the study event for up to seven days, because he himself and Jova had to take care of Lasmi who was not healthy. In addition to taking care of the study Felix also asked residents, especially the head of RT and RW if his papa or his minions came to take the house, then Felix asked to be contacted.
If the middle-aged man had been free to do anything this time could no longer be disinclined, because Felix would have acted.
The man also wanted to hear the story of his mother-in-law's version which he believed that his mother-in-law knew more clearly about what was really going on between his father-in-law and his father-in-law. Especially the money they mean.
After all the business was done and of course Felix gave some money that could be used to buy food now Jova and Felix bada Magrib go directly to the hospital which is not too far away.
Fortunately in Jova's hometown for the matter of gotong royong is still very thick so that Felix can leave the house and study affairs calmly because the citizens who are willing to offer help to maintain the family home Jova from the hands of ignorant Guntoro.
The couple is now in the hospital yard. Jova will rush into the hospital and soon meet the woman who gave birth to her. However, Felin's hand was against him.
"Wait Jo!"
Jova was just like he had been obedient. Stop listening to what Felix has to say.
"Remember, as much as you can show that you are okay, sincere and if you can avoid first something related to your sister and father, you know, because I'm afraid your mother hasn't been so sincere and will be sad again. Unless it is he who started you to tell stories, you listen and you give motivation. I know you are still very sad, but I am afraid that your mother will be sick because of the burden she thinks too much. Like my mother used to be, because from a stunted mind I didn't know mom was sick, and I was late to save her." Of course it wasn't Felix's intention to scare Jova, but Felix just didn't want what used to happen to him repeated to Jova.
Jova also developed her smile, although her sad face still could not be hidden.
"Thank you for the advice," replied Jova, who at this time was grateful to be met with Felix who turned out behind the fierce, jute, and annoying nature, there is a reason he did that. Heartbroken in the future wife, and his mother who betrayed her partner to depression and left him alone made Felix transform himself into a man who is not easily touched by outsiders except those who already know who his life really is.
Now they go back together, with their hands clasped together as if they describe that unity is the best way to deal with a myriad of problems.
Again, Jova's footsteps stopped right in front of the white door, where there was a weak mother lying inside. Well, before Jova could see the woman who had given birth was asleep curled up.
"Come on, your mother is waiting. Don't be sad, you have to be a booster for your mother. He only has you as a family member. You can make me happy again." Felix, back to support Jova.
Chequek... Jova. pressed the door handle, and Lasmi swiftly woke up, but a moment later the woman fell asleep again, after seeing Jova's face. Well both Jova and Felix knew that the middle-aged woman was waiting for something impossible to happen.
"Mother Jova's coming, have you eaten yet?" jova asked in a voice that sounded cherry. Although it was just a mere lie in her heart Jova cried back to lament her grief.
"Jova, you're telling me that you're sick?" ask Lasmi. It is true Felix's assumption that the mother has not accepted his father's departure.
"Bu Jova has been negotiating with Jova's husband if Mother will come with us to Jakarta. Are you happy?" ask Jova gently.
However, Lasmi's gaze showed hatred especially towards Felix.
"No, I don't want to go with the bad guy." Lasmi pointed at Felix.
Jova looked at Felix as if from the look in her eyes she was apologizing for her mother's words, and the man replied with a faint smile.
Now what Felix feels is, someone else who eats jackfruit, he gets his sap. His father who does wrong, he who bears the consequences.
It hurts when it's not us who make trouble, but we get punished. That's what Felix felt.
