"Mom why Pa?" asked Raka curiously.
"Come to the hospital, Papa will." Leo did not tell the true circumstances.
"Yes Pa."
Raka hung up. His face seemed worried about his mother. Seeing her moody husband, Azkia approached Raka.
"What's wrong?" Azkia wanted to know the situation of her in-laws. She felt that her husband was sad after receiving a call from his father-in-law.
"Mama, we have to go to the hospital."
"Mama why?" Azkia begins to worry about Zara.
"You don't know, we have to get to Ma's hospital."
"Yes, come on Pa."
Raka nodded. He walked over to his two children.
"Farhan looks like your application has to be postponed, we have to go to the hospital" Raka said.
"The Pa hospital? who's sick?" ask Farhan. He didn't know why his father was taking him to the hospital.
"Papa doesn't know for sure, which is clear your grandfather sent us to the hospital," Raka said.
"Don't my grandfather or grandmother be sick?" Kania. His eyes glazed over listening as he spoke. He remembered his grandparents. They're both old anything can happen.
"We are positive thinking, the same prayer of God so that grandparents are okay" said Azkia. He doesn't want to think negatively. Only hope and prayer are in his mind and heart.
"Yes" said Raka, Farhan, and Kania.
Raka and her family walked out of the house, into a car parked in front of the house. The car drove to the hospital.

It has been a long time since he was a child, now he has become a parent, will even soon have grandchildren. These pictures are unforgettable memories. Many things have passed and are still remembered today.

When Cinta smiles at the photo, Rehan approaches her.
"Why smile, what's wrong?" ask Rehan.
"Look Pa, it's been a while. Now we are parents, tomorrow it may be grandparents, miss Papa and Mama will be," Cinta said while showing a picture of her parents to Rehan.

"Ma," said Rehan pull Love so as not to be exposed to broken glass.
"Pa, my feelings are not good, I think of Papa and Mama" said Love. He's holding his chest. His eyes looked teary, there was something in his heart that made his emotions of sadness appear.
"Maybe because Mama was thinking of Papa and Mama" Rehan said. She tries to calm Love down, though she herself also worries about her in-laws.
"Yes yes Pa," said Love.

"Tidaaaak" cried Marwa who woke up from her sleep.
Sweat pours, the heart beats, the body heats up, the breath stings. Her husband woke up and grabbed her.
"What's wrong?" ask Louis.
"I had a nightmare" said Marwa. Her tears began to flow down her cheeks unnoticed.
"What nightmare?" ask Louis.
"Mama is covered in a shroud" said Marwa.
"Astagfirullah" said Louis. He was cluttered with what Marwa said.
Marwa also read istigfar. The dream was so scary. He we imagine if the dream is true. For Marwa, her mother had everything. She was afraid something might happen to her mother.
"How about we call Papa and Mama" Louis proposes.
Marwa nods. Louis picked up the phone on top of the drawer by the bed. He called Leo.
"Assalamu'alaikum Pa."
"Wa'alaikumsallam."
"Why and Mama are healthy?"
"Alhamdulillah Papa is healthy, Papa just wanted to call you."
"Pa, there's actually something I want to call wanting to know Papa and Mama's news."
"Louis, you must go home soon."
"Going home? did something happen Pa?"
"Go back first, and Papa will."
"Yes." Yeah."
After calling Louis to Marwa, he told him all about his conversation with Leo. Finally they packed up to return home.

The Red Cambodian Cemetery
Leo sat on the edge of his wife's tombstone. His glass-glass eyes saw the photo in front of the tombstone. Prayers were heard from the mouths of everyone present at the funeral. All members of his family gathered around Zara's tomb. They were all saddened by the return of their mother, in-laws, and grandmother. So many memories felt like they were just yesterday, as if time wasn't enough to stop. Wants to come back but can't.
Leo remained silent. Remembering all the memories with his wife. There is nothing more precious than Zara. Losing her was like losing half her life.
Memories of SMA time replayed in Leo's mind. That wonderful time is never forgotten. His encounter with Zara was the most beautiful gift of his life. If I could ask him to go back to that time. A time when they shared everything.
"I want to come with you, Zara" said Leo.
"Papa .., Papa ...," a voice sounded calling, vaguely, starting clear and loud.
