The fragrant fragrant flower mingled with the smell of red earth that had just stockpiled the body of a sincere-hearted man. Water gurgled from the sky, flushing the city. The sky was sad, the earth mourned for the departure of God.


Bima was still sitting beside the mound of land. His hand touched a headstone bearing the name of the great man who had guarded him for the lifetime he had been through. His head bowed, the water still falling from the eyes mixed with the cries of the sky that fell on his head.


Bima brought the face closer to kiss the tombstone. How loss pierced his heart. With the inscription inscribed with the man's name, his lips smiled as he recalled his joyful childhood with Babeh who never complained.


"May Babeh be quiet in nature there. May Allah forgive the sins of Babeh. Bima promised to take care of Nyak even if Bima's life is at stake. Thank you, Beh. Babeh had a happy childhood for Bima. Bima darling Babeh. Babeh is the greatest father in the world. Bima dear Babeh." He cried again while kissing the gravestone.


"Sister, Nyak will do the desperate following Brother here if only Brother does not return now. Remember, Brother, Babeh has calmed down. Do not burden Babeh's journey by constantly dissolving in tears of sorrow. Nyak is also old, he will be even more injured seeing Brother like this. Come on, brother, go home." Nasya stood behind him with an umbrella that drove the water down Bima's head.


Hearing that, Bima's heart justifies. He departed from the headstone of the God, looking closely at the writing of the name.


"Bima's home, Beh. Bima will often look at Babeh," he said, kissing the headstone and standing up. His gaze was still fixed on that mound of earth. He turned around and walked ahead of Nasya who ran after him.


The garden behind Razka's mansion, the family cemetery, is where God is buried. Tagged with Aisyah as well as her parents. That man is special to Razka, he won't keep her out of the family.


Bima sped up as she saw Tina standing on the back porch of the house with Ayra hugging her from behind. Perhaps her sister was preventing Tina from crashing in the rain following her son.


"Break it!" Bima hugged Tina. Her wet clothes wetted Tina, but the old woman returned her embrace. He who no longer cries, cannot resist the pace of tears that go down to hear the sobs of his son.


"Not crying anymore. Kasian Babeh lu, the steps are heavy if we continue to nangisin Babeh. Ithlasin, all this is the destiny of God that we have to accept," Tina recalled as she gently rubbed Bima's wet hair.


Behind them were all the people, including the Atmaja family and the uncle Sam family who were present at the funeral of the God. Tina unraveled the embrace, she kissed Bima's forehead while smiling bitterly.


The love of that woman is so sincere. Those who are there can feel it just from seeing how they interact. Revan approached, he patted Bima on the shoulder before grabbing the body of his best friend and cousin.


"It's true, Bima. You must be sincere, I know very well how Babeh the God. He is very good, will definitely get the best place in the side of God. You're not alone, man. There is still us your family" he said, giving light pats on Bima's back.


He unraveled the embrace, his gaze turning to all who were there. Smiles of fortitude as well as sadness he could see on their faces. Bima smiled, he nodded in front of everyone full of respect.


"Thank you for being our family. Thank you for entertaining us. Thank you," he said shivering.


Nasya who did not like to hear it, shook his head and hugged Bima tightly. Followed by Ayra, Aulia also embraced him.


"Do you want what?" prevent Briant on Lusy who stepped up to approach.


"Who are you? You can't go there. Stay here!" his words were firm with wide bulging eyes. Lusy came back with both legs knocked off.


They brought Tina and Bima into the house, sitting in the former teaching people in the house. Bima sat down beside Tina, hugging the woman pretending to be tough.


"Mother Tina, instead Mother and Baim stayed with us only. God willing our house is enough to accommodate you both," said Aulia who could not bear to imagine if only they both had to stay in the house.


Tina will be alone if Bima goes to college or work. No friend asked him to talk.


"Thank you, ma'am, but I want to stay there. If Bima wants to stay in your house, I have no problem. I can't leave behind the only memories my husband has left behind," Tina subtly refused.


Aulia glanced at Razka and the others. How they understood what Tina's heart wanted. Such great love for the man, made Tina willing to stay alone.


Bima who heard of course was not happy, no matter where Tina lived she would be there accompanying.


"Wherever Nyak lives, Bima will live am Nyak. Bima has promised ama Babeh, Bima will not leave Nyak alone," he said while hugging the frail body of Tina.


Hearing that, they could do nothing. Can't be forced because it's their right to live where. Bima and Tina quickly returned home after the conversation. Do not want to linger because Bima could have run back and stay at the tomb of God.


With Razka delivered, Bima did not want to bring the car. Enough motor in the house relics of the God who wants him to drive.


"If there's anything, please let me know. You still have another family, son. Your mom and dad are close to you. We will not leave you alone" he said, patting Bima on the shoulder and hugging her.


"Thank you, Dad. Bima will always remember. Sorry because last night Bima was too panicked to not have time to tell Father and Mother," said Bima also regretfully.


Razka understood, she took off a hug and said goodbye. Give time to both of them without anyone else. Every now and then he and all his family would visit to comfort both.


Tina roared after Razka's departure. Hugging the figura that framed the image of God and himself. He sits on the edge of the bed, going to sleep alone tonight. Bima came over, sat down beside the woman and hugged her.


Letting Tina shed a cry without wanting to calm her down.


"Nangis as much as today, Nyak. Tomorrow and next, no more crying. Enough today. Enough today, Nyak," he said slowly.


In the room that was not as spacious as it was, Tina's cries echoed.
