My Life Light

CHAPTER 4 THE DEVASTATING DEPARTURE 2

time went on, it did not feel like this had entered the seventh day, on the third day yesterday finally om Salman collapsed, me and om Alfian were by his side taking care of him, he said,om Alfian just like we do not have anyone, his parents are gone so he is very visible with om Salman.

that night after the seventh day we had a guest who was Jimmy and his wife, me and om Salman had talked about this before om Salman was sick, aunt Emy must have been waiting for jimmy.

"Gia... om is sorry.. Where is Salman?"

"om Salman is sick in the room"

"can you see it?"

"please om"

om Salman was not surprised by the presence of Jimmy, he greeted him with a smile with Alfian om there, om Alfian who knows who om Jimmy directly out of the room because what will be talked about must be something internal.

"this is what I fear" said Salman, "Lord, can I hide my mother's departure from them so that nothing separates me from Gia" inwardly again.

"good night." said Jimmy who came with his wife.

"night sir.bu.." reply to Salman very kindly.

"how are you, Mr Salman? is there any serious pain?"

"no sir. I'm just tired, maybe because for a long time there is no appetite at all."

salman immediately made Jimmy turn to me, "come home son." call him to me. "god's time and our time are very different,God must have another purpose with the return of our loved ones, you must be eager to do this." said Jimmy to me and om Salman, me and om Salman equally smiling yes... as I said before, I was matured with circumstances so there was a lot of things I had to accept, like it or not.

"take a drink for Jimmy" said Salman to me, I immediately got up.

"had told her?" jimmy asked Salman after Gia left, Salman shook his head. "this is a good time! do you need my help?"

"i'm looking for a way right now."

"before I come back again, say it! so that he's not confused"

"good sir"

after Gia returned, they to their center Salman immediately asked her to sit next to him, Salman embraced him affectionately. "we want to say something, but you should still think positively... one thing you should know, if om, om Jimmy, om Alfian and mba Ratmi love you no matter what the decision is. You understand right?"

om Jimmy and om Salman explained everything, the trust entrusted by Mama Tina and all the consequences that we will get, including about my life in the future. how shocked I was when they told me I had to live with aunt Emy, between fear and confusion because I was not close to her so for me it was something that I was very difficult to do.

I can't explain my feelings at that time, which I know only one, I really want to sleep, I'm like tired and please don't have a single person approaching me at this time, because if that happens, I'm sure my tears will surely escape with greatness.After the talk of the night I was more silent, answered just that, just that,even the usual jokes and chats that happen every night are all gone.

...****************...

until one day Gia heard Salman call someone, why am I so sure that the one on the phone is Aunt Emy I'm sure because I heard a little serious talk, which is quite serious,they made an appointment to meet, after which Salman called Alfian to take him to meet Emy's aunt.

the next day they left, no matter what they were talking about and what was going on there, which I knew was not something fun,because when I got back from school I got the faces of my two favorite men bent without any shape.

as usual I went into the room and locked it away so that no one would come in, not not to talk but I wish they could take me any way, I don't want to be with them, I don't want to be with them,more precisely I was afraid, because Anton, always looked at me with a strange look, which seemed to want to swallow me alive.

the activities at home oma go as they should, eating dinner together, cleaning up the former of eating together, cooking together, all nothing changes, the habit of sitting together even though it is just telling the excitement through today, because anyway, everything has been different.

two days later I was surprised by the arrival of aunt Emy and om Anton to my school, I was actually scared, but all the teachers knew that if he was my aunt, it would be very unlikely if I ran away when I saw him. They picked me up and took me out to eat, I couldn't possibly refuse him in front of so many people, finally made me agree with her invitation.

"do you love that om you?" ask tantiku..

"meaning?"

"aunty sure you know what auntie's talking about!! but unfortunately the people around do not necessarily understand" with a cynical smile. "auntie just ask that you stay with aunty because as you know, as you know, money from your mother will only go down if you've lived with your aunt for two years, so I hope you understand this! because yesterday your beloved om met aunty to ask you, but according to this will from your mother, staying with you makes the money will go down faster, om you are not working, but,auntie's gonna make a effort."

"can't I just stay with her? the money I will give you! "

"can't be Gia!! everything is based on the law, the will of your mother is basic, not arbitrary"

"but aunt..."

"it's not a threat but I'm just telling you that I can get people around you destroyed in an instant"

"not a threat he said.." said Gia in her heart, "the part that does not threaten with the sentence she just said" he continued in his heart.

long Gia thought until finally she agreed with aunt Emy's request, so later when aunt Emy came to take Gia with om jimmy and wife as a lawyer and witnesses that Gia along with Emy.

go back to school Gia directly to the room om Salman he had asked the whereabouts of om Salman on mba Ratmi who is now still with his family,answered by Mba Ratmi if om Salman out to take care of his departure back to country I in 2 weeks.

Gia lay on the bed, she rested her head that felt like it was going to break, too many voices came in and ordered many things to her, there was even a voice that asked her to end her life.

without tears running down her cheeks, Gia felt very afraid to come with her biological family, why did this fear just appear. "Lord... If I wasn't meant to stay with him, could I still see him happy?" said Gia in the midst of tears that came down, until finally she fell asleep in that room.

returning from cleaning up his affairs he hurriedly went into the room because when he called his favorite ponakan, who raised Ratmi mba and said that his bangs in the room and had not come out.

He went inside the same blanket and hugged his nephew, there was pain when he saw his parents sleeping crying, "what happened to him?" he said in his heart when he saw the eyes of his nephew, "hey. please don't sleep while crying it will make me much more devastated" he said again while confirming his son's hair.

Gia opened her eyes and immediately faced with a neck, she immediately woke up when she saw the scene. "you're awake? " he asked in surprise, he was relieved that om salman.

Gia answered him with a smile, in fact oma always forbade us to sleep in the same place, oma said that time because I had grown up but sometimes I like to go to the room om Salman to release my anger at being ridiculed at school or my fatigue. just sleeping there makes me feel comfortable and calm.

"you miss something?" tanyanya then hugged me.

"everything will be fine Gia. Whatever happens later, one you must know.Everything that God allows to happen in your life must be the best, it must be,you must take a lot of wisdom from every incident.now om salman, om fian and mba ratmi pray for the best for you, do not give up the same situation, do not think short and bring all in prayer." said om salman at length, among us om salman is most diligent in praying, even just for minun.

Gia smiled "yes om, Gia believes God must love something good"

"so you can be a strong woman."

...****************...

one week before om salman left, um Jimmy gathered us, apparently unbeknownst to me om salman several times came to meet aunt emy, begging aunt emy to agree with his idea, he said,but somehow aunt emy refused.

unbeknownst to Salman as well I've agreed to aunt Emy's request, I can only pray that she doesn't change her mind she promised me not to hurt Salman, om Alfian who is like our family and mba Ratmi and his family.

Om Jimmy explained back to me all the wills my mother gave me and there it was written if I followed my aunt sincerely, of my own accord, with my own will,then the relics of my mother who will be inherited for aunt emy will go down if not, all will be donated to one of the parlors he has appointed.

I'd love to say if I don't want to be with my aunt, but the words aunty emy said immediately echoed in my ear. "Oh my God.... What should I do...?" I said in my heart.

" how's Gia? do you want to be with your mom or with your appointment"

"do I have to decide now?"

"of course it's a pity because this will he asked to do after the oma died, and it's been almost 40 days."

I breathed heavily. "i want to. I want to join aunt emy" I said and lowered my head.

my words just now not only made Salman surprised, but Ratmi even fainted to hear it. I know at this time all eyes were looking at me including Jimmy and her husband, I did not dare to look at them, I knew,I was quiet, I was down.

"can we talk to him? " ask Alfian.

"there's no need for him to come with me" Aunt Emy replied.

"talk you have a RIGHT to it" Jimmy replied, "but before you speak I want to hear from Gia before anyone talks to her" jimmy said, then called me back softly.

"son... has this really been your decision?"

"yes om"

"you sure? "

"yes..."

"no one's been expecting you"

"no, I'm sure"

"well.o.m appreciate the decision you made, but remember.you can call me if you're not comfortable"

Gia smiled at the words, "alright.." he replied. "but can I stay here for 40 days oma? "

"of course, son, you have a great right to it"

"thank you"

Gia continued to talk by looking at Jimmy, she was afraid to look at the two om who were on the other side, she knew they would not agree with the decision I had taken, I just want them to be okay, 'cause I know Aunt Emy's gonna try different ways.

"have we talked to him?" ask o. Salman.

"is it Salman" Jimmy responded.

Salman and Alfian bring Gia in for a private talk and Jimmy lets them talk in Salman's room, because Jimmy knows it must be hard for them, not just time, but memories they can't erase. Alfian also called Ratmi to join them.

Jimmy knew a lot of things were going on in that room, seen from Salman who did not rejoin,tanga Alfian who had seen blood spots and slight bruises there were these two women who came out with tear marks on their cheeks.

"can I leave you?" asked Jimmy to make sure, Alfian answered him with a nod while the Cave did not answer.

"ayo Gia.." said aunt Emy loudly.

"go aunt. I'll come with you after 40 oma." said Gia back to the room at Ratmi's follow.

"Gia's right ma'am, there are a lot of memories she's been through here, so she has to prepare to leave" Jimmy continued.

...****************...

meanwhile, in the room, Gia lay staring at the sky, in her mind still filled with the words of Salman and Alfian, the anger they overflowed when they knew the decision I took. they kept pressing me to ask my decisions that they felt were one-sided and without involving them.

"in two weeks Salman returns to Country I, automatically Alfian will be busy, another week is the 40 oma event and I'm out of this" Gia said in her heart.

Gia knows for sure when Alfian is staying in the room om Salman, the two true friends are always understanding each other, mutual understanding, always at the side when needed, he said, not dateng just have the button.

"om... don't make me confused dong" said Gia in her heart.

that night they each had no one to sleep, all immersed in their thoughts, trying to neutralize the feeling of surprise with this decision.

"oma...why your departure even destroys our world, we all." said Gia slowly until finally striped.
