"Hello? La? You're still there, right?" Fara spoke with a tone of worry.
"Eh! Yes ma, Ala is still here. Grandfatherbiscuts.. Grandpa how's he doing?"
"Mama doesn't know any more, but your mother just said that your grandfather arrived at the hospital."
His hand reflexively closed his trembling mouth, a mouthful of tears had already dripped down his cheeks.
"In case Ala and Felix will be home soon, Ma."
"Yes! You better go home!"
"Yes, Ma."
After turning off the call, his body immediately slumped to the floor. His heart ached when he had to hear the news about his grandfather who had fallen ill. The joy he had just felt as if it had disappeared imprudently changed into a deep sadness.
For him, Heru is a substitute father who is often busy working. His grandparents were always there when he was sad or lonely.
When his grandmother died, he cried and mourned for days, he cried as if he had lost half his world. If not for the comforting Heru, I don't know how long the sadness will be reduced.
"Ala, have you ever heard a religious leader who once said a person's body would be buried in his barzah if his death was mourned by his family?"
Ala who was still locked in the room only shook her head weakly to hear Heru's question. For days nothing entered his body, not even a mouthful of water he refused to drink.
Heri's lips poked a smile. "If you love your grandmother, please let her know! Let your grandmother be light enough to live the next life in the barzah realm and the afterlife."
Heru's words made Ala even more lamenting the death of her grandmother. But certainly, the lament became the last lament for the death of his grandmother and began a new life without her grandmother slowly.
Ala wiped away her tears, returned to reality and had to prepare to go home soon.
"Furname! Wake up!" Ala's hand shook Felix's shoulder.
Felix squirmed and only opened his eyes slightly as he was still very sleepy.
"Why?" His voice asked Ala.
"Let's go home, Fel." Ala's lips trembled again as she spoke.
Upon hearing Ala's slightly strange voice, Felix opened his eyes wide. "Why you?"
"Grandpa, grandpa's sick, Fel. We have to get home!"
"What pain?"
"Not yet know, your phone vibrates and I see it turns out from my mom. Mama said our marriage was exposed widely to the media, and grandpa dropped in the hospital."
"What??!"
"Battle spit, Fel! We should get ready to go home soon!" Urged Ala.
"Now?"
"Yes that!" Pekik Ala's.
***
Ala had exhaled for the third time because the clock was still showing at 1 pm, while the departure ticket showed at 1 o'clock fifteen minutes.
His right leg stomped slightly to the floor, his originally smooth fingernails now became a little rough due to the small bite he made.
Ignore the mobile phone that continues to vibrate due to continuous calls. His mind is one, to go home.
While beside him, there was Felix sitting daydreaming after knowing what really happened.
Along the way to Incheon airport, he took the time to open the news on social media.
What is in his mind at this time is that there will be no more calm for him when starting the day at school later.
Headline news that at first glance he read wrote his name clearly. Even the news is peppered with stories that are not clear source, such as the beginning of Felix and Ala meet, married where, etc.
There was even one comment word that made him ride apitam, reading 'PEDOFIL!'
Goddamn bum! I'm not a child! He kept swearing in his heart if he remembered that word. He believes the comments were aimed at his wife.
His head turned to the side, his eyes crossed with his wife's eyes.
"Are you okay?" The restless face that Ala had revealed made Felix launch the question just like that.
"Huh?" Ala gawks at Felix's sudden question.
"Ka..mu.gak..what..what?" Said Felix while hinting with a slow movement of his hands and mouth.
"Ih! What do you think I'm deaf?!" Pekik Ala did not accept.
"Well? Continues to?"
"I'm denger! I just don't know what your question means!"
"Didn't you know??"
They continued to argue even when they got on the plane.
