RAINBOW FOR HURRICANE HANS

LAYOVER HOUSE

I want to smile and keep hearing this happy news, but at the moment the situation and conditions are not possible.

''Dek, let's go to the teachers from the school Claudy already wants to go home'' said Frans.

''Yes kak''

I followed Frans in to see the teachers from Claudy's school who wanted to leave.

''Bu Pelangi, son Sintia, we want to leave because there are still activities at school. Hopefully we can join the worship later'' said Mrs Helmi.

''Well ma'am, thank you everyone has come'' said Sintia.

Sintia and I drove them until they all got in the car. After their car disappeared from my sight and Sintia went back inside to meet the people from the company because they also wanted to leave to change clothes and would come back during worship later tonight.

The mourners continued to arrive until it was not felt already at 6 pm and soon will be held worship before om Bram is put in the crate.

At 06:35 worship began, many people who participated in this worship to the point that the seats provided were not enough, finally some were sitting in the house.

Worship went well until it ended at 20:00. After the service was completed the body of om Bram was put in the chest, sobs from Sintia were still occasionally heard. Ms. Desi faithfully accompanied Sintia, trying to strengthen Sintia, although I knew that she was also very sad about her brother's departure.

At 10pm after all the activities ended we decided to take a break because tomorrow is a busy day. Sintia and Missi have decided to bury om Bram tomorrow because there is no family waiting.

I had Miss Desi and Sintia sleep in Claudy's room, Claudy and I slept in my room while Piter and Rivaldi slept in the guest room.

*

At 4 am I woke up, I headed to the kitchen intending to make breakfast, but when I got there, I saw that there was Sintia, Desi ma'am also Rivaldi and piter.

''It's Gi''' up''

''Yes, why do you wake up so early? Aren't you guys asleep?''

''I can't sleep Gi, somehow my eyes don't want to close even though I'm very sleepy'' said Sintia.

''Where were you last night, son? Why don't you sleep with mom?''

''I'm in mom's living room, sleeping with dad''

I was shocked to hear Sintia's words apparently she didn't sleep in the room last night but she slept in the living room next to her father's coffin.

''Just relax, I'm accompanied by Rivaldi and Piter''

''Yes mah me and Piter also slept there last night'' said Rivaldi.

''The breakfast is ready let's clean up first just breakfast'' said Missi.

''You guys go first I want to make milk for Claudy first, '' I said.

''Alright Gi''

The kitchen that last night looked very messy is now very neat, apparently when Sintia and bu Desi make breakfast, Rivaldi and Piter wash dishes.

Seeing Rivaldi and Piter remind me of my late son, if he were still there he might have been as big as them, my tears would have almost fallen if I had not strengthened myself immediately. Immediately I removed the clear hairs that had accumulated in the corner of my eyes, I did not want to constantly lament his disappearance.

If I keep crying over his departure, I won't be able to take good care of Claudy.

''What did you do?'' said Claudy who had been standing next to me, I don't know since when he was there he might have seen when I wiped my tears earlier.

''Mama made milk son, are you awake?''

''Yes mah, what is madam nangis?''

''No koq mama nothing''

''You can't lie to Claudy, your tears are still there. Mama makirin brother yes, if mama is sad surely brother will also be sad, he kak'' he said as if talking to his brother.

''Iya mama ngak sad koq''

''Heuuuuummmm, what a fragrance is this mah, like there is a delicious hehehe''

''Ish mama likes to pinch Claudy's nose, and if his nose is a pug how?''

''Let's change the elephant's nose, hehehhehehe''

''Mamah''

''Yes. yes''

''What the hell is exciting like'' said Nilam brother who came while carrying the baby Queen.

''This is aunty mama ganguin I keep, hello my shanty sister''

''Bandi used to be there and just disturb dedek Queenya''

''Yes mama'' she then kissed the baby Queen cheek and then ran to the room.

I held the baby Queen while the mother prepared coffee for Frans. Soon miss Desi, Sintia, Rivaldi, Piter and Frans came into the kitchen.

''You eat first, me and Claudy will eat later we have drunk milk earlier. Sister Nilam also eat I will bring the baby Queen to the room''

''Alright deck''

I took the baby Queen to the room so that her mother could have breakfast first, I was still full because I drank milk earlier and I felt no appetite.

''Hello sweet sister''

''Wear Audy''s first shirt''

''Yes, you have breakfast too, take care of the baby Queen again''

''Yes mah''

After changing clothes Claudy also headed to the dining room to eat. Before long Nilam and Frans followed me to my room, from the look on their faces looking like a very sad person.

''What's up, brother?''

''There's bad news dek''

''What bad news, brother?''

''It's about Claudy''s papa''

''What happened to Hans?''

''According to the information from the person we told to look for the whereabouts of mother and Hans, Hans was sick and he didn't remember anything, not even the mother he remembered''

''What do you mean, brother?''

''It looks like Hans lost his memory deck''

My heart aches to hear the news that Frans has delivered.

''Then how is Dita bu kak?''

''Mom is fine, only she looks very thin and unkempt. Said Soni, mother, bi Asih and Hans living in a halfway house with street children''

Oh God what are these trials, why are they all like this.

After breakfast we made preparations for the funeral service om Bram.

Funeral service om Bram goes well, we all deliver om Bram to his final resting place, except for sister Nilam and baby Queen.

Om Bram's burial place turned out to be one location with Hans's funeral, I took the time to visit my son's grave. Since his departure I have only come to his tomb, for every time I come my heart is so sick and I cannot control my tears.

I bought a few sprigs of my son's favorite white roses, I strengthened myself so that I wouldn't cry when I visited him because he really didn't like to see me cry.
