My President

Profound Grief

The woman looked sad, the dried up tears adorning her face. Her eyes were swollen from crying for a long time. But she was quite happy, because her husband was still given a chance by God. Aksa had not opened her eyes due to the dope injected into her body for the man to rest first.

Time has shown at eight o'clock at night, Aza had just woken up from her stupor. She immediately approached her husband.

"Hubby, wakeup...There's some happy news I want to tell you. The happiness that we are looking forward to." lirih Aza. The woman sat in a chair beside her husband's gurney with her hands constantly stroking Aksa's cheeks.

Aza came back crying, seeing Aksa's very sad condition. The forehead and abdomen were bandaged, as well as small wounds that left Aksa's skin stained.

"Hubby, if only fate hadn't brought us together. Surely you and Tania can unite and Tania won't do this..."

"Aza, already, son. Don't blame yourself constantly, think about your condition as well. It's fate, Janfan blames anyone" Anandhi said, stroking his daughter's hair.

"It's all because of me, Mah. Tania hates me, she wants Aksa. Therefore he justified various ways, even he also used his own sister to commit crimes. It wouldn't have happened if there wasn't me, Mah..."

Aza's feelings were very chaotic. Today is very scary, happy and also sad to come together. Aza also did not expect if there must be someone who lost his life today.

There are only Anandhi and Devano who are still in the hospital accompanying Aza, the other family is preparing for Farel's funeral which will take place tomorrow morning.

"Tante, this is me buying dinner" Devano said, handing out plastic bags filled with food to Aza and Anandhi.

"Eat, Mah. Don't miss dinner" said Aza.

"You eat too, Come on Mama's bribe."

"Later on when Hubby wakes up" said Aza smiling thinly. She had begun to calm down, her husband's condition was not too severe.

"Aksa will wake up tomorrow morning, you better eat and sleep soon. If Aksa knew you weren't sleeping and just looked after her, she would be angry" said Anandhi, who then immediately greeted Aza.

Tania arrived at ninepm in Indonesia with the bodyguards who had been guarding her all this time. He was so devastated to hear the sad news that befell his family. He immediately sat down on the floor, unable to stare at the body of the younger brother. Someone who had grown up with him, he always loved and cared for. The man left because of him.

"Farel's awake! Forgive Brother, forgive brother..."

"I shouldn't have asked you to take my revenge on that family, you must still be smiling here with me. Come awake.huu...huu...huu..."

"Love has blinded hearts and minds, until your own brother has made it a tool to follow your rotten heart!" exclaim Alfa with a blank look. He was very disappointed with his daughter.

"I'm sorry Tania, Pah. I realize what I'm doing is wrong. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..." Tania bends her knees in front of Alfa and Vera. It then moved in front of Aira and Keno.

"I'm sorry, Om, Auntie. I'm really sorry."

Regretted? Yes, the woman is really sorry. His stupidity affects innocent people for this. He shouldn't have poisoned Farel's brain so that the boy wouldn't do anything desperate. He was eager to replace his brother. Farel deserves to live, he's the one who has to die. Mistakes repeatedly but never make him aware. Farel's death caused him to feel regret.

"Sir Alfa, Brother Vera, we're leaving. We want to see Aksa, tomorrow we will come again" said Aira to Alfa and Vera who were still grieving.

"Heart on the road. Once again I am truly sorry for the behavior of my children" said Alfa. The man was deeply embarrassed, repeatedly apologizing for his son's disappointing behavior.

"Don't be sad anymore, God loves Farel so much that He took it sooner" said Keno, who left the funeral home without touching Tania, who was still kneeling before him.

That night there were only tears of regret from a woman who was so wicked in heart. Love really blinded him. He should realize if our loved ones don't want us, it's better to let him know.

Aza was still faithfully sitting next to her husband's gurney, repeatedly Anandhi invited her to move into a room prepared for family rest, and Aza always refused.

"You don't want your baby why, do you?"

"Will Hubby know how? He'll be looking for me."

"I'll take care of him, you rest. Think of yourself first, if you get sick, Aksa will be disappointed" exclaimed Devano. The man was still loyal there, he regretted moving so slowly that this incident was inevitable.

"Please take care of him, yeah. When you wake up, tell me immediately" Aza said before leaving the room.

Morning, the sky was not as clear as usual. Cloud overcast clouds adorned that morning, as if to feel the sorrow that was being experienced by the family of Alfa Danendra. The mourners came in turn, mourning and giving strength to the families left behind.

Everyone was ready to take Farel Danendra to his final resting place. Many school friends, teachers, in all black clothes deliver smart men who always scent the name of the school with a myriad of achievements. They didn't expect Farel to leave so soon.

Aira clutched Vera's limp body and seemed helpless to deliver her beloved son. The crying did not stop, even more so when the voice of Adhan reverberated ushering the man.

"Farelle..."

Alfa was no longer strong to proclaim Adhan for the son, he immediately came out of the pit and was replaced by Keno. Alfa and Vera sat down and stared at Farel's body. The man who was very much looking forward to his birth, repeatedly they said "It's been impatient" when Vera conceived Farel. And now they must send Farel away for good. There will be no more smiles and pranks on the boy.

Slowly, the ground began to cover the man's body. The crying of Alfa, Vera, and Tania is getting louder and heartbreaking considering that tomorrow there is no day with Farel.

Flower sprinkles began to decorate the mound of land given a headstone bearing the name Farel. Do'a from the mourners who helped deliver was unceasingly spoken. One by one they left the cemetery and left only Keno, Aira, and the Alfa family.

"My son's gone..."

"Farel wait for Mama, son. I can't wait to be with you again. I love you, son."

"Let Farel go quietly, just pray from here. We will definitely be reunited with him," said Alfa rubbed his wife's shoulder. He strengthened Vera, who was devastated and lost Farel.

Clara and Devano also delivered Farel. Aksa, Devano, Clara, Tania, and Farel grew up together as children. They always play together and are like family. Clara and Devano are sad to remember their childhood memories, of which Farel is the smallest of them all. They loved that man very much.

"I didn't know you were leaving so soon, Farel. Relax there, we will always remember you. We love you" said Clara, wiping Farel's headstone.

Devano stared softly at the still-wet tomb. Remembering very well, a few weeks ago they had played futsal together. Didn't know it was their last futsal.

"I really lost you my little brother" Devano smiled bitterly.

Although Farel's treatment was quite disappointing, they could all forgive him. Because it was purely not Farel's own initiative, but someone behind it all.

The sun began to crawl in place of the black clouds in the sky, the weather began to clear not as bad as this morning. They left the tomb, leaving behind Farel who had been picked up by death.

Tania: "Author, why are you evil with me? Hiksss...hiksss..."

Author: "What evil is Bang Jago? Wasn't you the bad one all this time?"

Tania: "I should have died, Thor! Not my brother huu..."

Author: "Not most dramas! Reflect everything! Your behavior affects others. Try if you realize from the first that Aksa is not in love with you should be sincere, not even pretentious revenge and feel the most hurt! Love must be fought for, but fighting for the wrong person is not true! Aksa is not your soul mate, and it is arranged equally by the Almighty."

Tania: "Gue is real money. I'm hurt here too, Thor. I know I'm at hiks..."

Author: "How else? I've also been tired of you for a long time. Look noh because you Aksa has not realized!"

Tania: "I'm sorry thor..."
