"Mom... " Dusk stared at Wulan's body that had been stretched stiff. His eyes closed perfectly. Her cotton-pale skin meant that there was no more blood flow in her body.
Wulan breathed her last breath today or midnight last night. The woman is no longer able to fight pain and her energy is drained. After fighting for so long, he finally reached the last point of his life.
Tears of Dusk streaming down staring at the body of the person who loved it the most. The one who was always there for him.
Grandma Fatma and Dirga who were standing next to her were only able to rub the girl's back, to just give Dusk strength. They let the girl spill all her grief because they felt the same way.
Bayu Samudra who turned out to be still on Wulan's side until his death to pick him up also could not say much. They were all dissolved in deep sorrow.
Bayu despite being in a state of extraordinary pain remained faithful waiting for the wife until the end of his life. The creature should have returned to its origin to continue its meditation. But he changed his mind. He wanted to wait for Wulan until his last second. But for that he had to endure tremendous pain.
For Bayu free he continued his meditation if in the end Wulan will still go too. After Wulan left, she was no longer able to be in the human world. Unless he's looking for energy from a new partner. But swear by anything Bayu doesn't want to do that. His love is only for Nawang Wulan and will not be shared with anyone or creatures of any kind.
Bayu also no longer hesitate to show his real face in front of everyone. His pale face and red eyes were no longer hidden. Everyone knows who he really is too
In a moment, Wulan's body will be entered into the coffin for cremation. Twilight held onto that cold body for the last time.
"Good way, Mom. Be happy there." Watered the girl with tears that continued to pool. Weight. It was hard to let her mother go forever.
The face of grief was clearly drawn there. Those who knew or were close to Wulan also paid their last respects to the gentle woman.
Bayu held tightly to the hand of Dusk which felt very limp. He was trying to strengthen his daughter
"Calm down, kid. Your mother will be happy there." Bayu Samudra knows how his daughter's grief. He himself also felt quite sad because soon he will also part with his beloved daughter.
Twelve, thirty or twelve hours after Wulan died. His body was eventually taken to a special room for cremation. Under the glare of those who loved him. The woman left her residence or rather left her world.
And at night, accompanied by her husband and also her father, Dusk sprinkled ashes from Wulan's body into the open sea. As per Wulan's request, he wanted his ashes to be sown into the open ocean. The sea where she first met her husband. She wants the sea to be her final resting place.
"Congratulations, Mother's Path. " Once again Dusk said the farewell sentence with a clear melt that spilled back.
Shortly after Dusk sprinkled the ashes of Wulan, Bayu Samudra also resigned from the presence of the child and his son-in-law.
"The person you love most is gone, son. So you have to go too. There's no longer any strength for you to be here." The words he said tremblingly. Deep sadness cannot be hidden.
"Yeah.. " Dusk hugged the creature tightly. His crying broke unstoppably. At the same time, he lost two very important people in his life.
Dirga did the same. He hugged Bayu ocean while crying. What a sad story that must be lived by Bayu and Wulan.
The three hugged tightly while crying. Believe me, if there is one thing that hurts most in life, it must be when we lose loved ones.
Bayu nodded while releasing his embrace.
"Jaga Dusk is fine. You have to live happily." Bayu patted Dirga's shoulder.
"Okay, Dad, "he replied while holding back tears.
Bayu samudra then kissed Dusk's forehead while hugging him once more.
"Life well, Son ... We will always love you. "
After saying that Bayu then walked slowly through the ocean. Leaving the world that has brought him to his true partner.
When his body was submerged in the stomach. The creature looked at the child and his daughter-in-law. He then waved his hand as a farewell sign for the last time before his form finally disappeared in the swallow of the ocean.
"Dad." lirih Dusk watched his father really disappeared. Beside him Dirga was only able to hug him while rubbing the top of the girl's head
