Reaching the Heart of the Widower

Cloudy

That afternoon, cloudy so dark and dense, the sun seemed to hide among the dark clouds.

I attended the funeral procession of Felly, the wife whom Kenny loved dearly, the man who had stolen my heart from childhood.

I deliberately didn't get close to the tomb, I didn't want Kenny to see where I was.

Kenny was so devastated and sad, his face implied a deep sorrow. I totally understood his feelings at the time.

I couldn't bear to see that sad face, because her sadness was my sadness. His pain is my sorrow, I only dare to look at him from a distance.

Until the mourners left the cemetery one by one, I saw Leo his best friend and his wife were in the tomb, accompanying Kenny briefly.

Before long they also left Kenny, the rain began to fall slowly, the longer the more swift.

I was still standing under a big umbrella. Seeing Kenny who came back crying lamented the departure of his wife.

My heart hurts, my heart is sad. I don't want Kenny to suffer and drown in grief. My chest's tight.

It felt like I wanted so much to run up to him, hug his body, give him energy and strength.

But I thought, who am I? I was just a little friend who used to play and chat with him, I was never in his heart, not even in the smallest corner.

Yes, I am but a shadow, a shadow that can only look at him from a distance.

After a long while I stood up, slowly my feet stepped closer to Kenny. I can't stand to see it like that, my heart hurts.

I put my big umbrella over his body that rested in the tomb.

Her clothes are soaked. His hair and face were also wet with rain.

Kenny turned to look at me who was standing behind him. His eyes looked red, probably because they were crying too much in addition to the rain.

The face looked pale, its lips were normally a natural redness, now pale bluish, probably due to the coldness of the rain.

"here?" his murmuring was barely audible.

"Ken, that's enough! You have to go home, Icha is waiting for you at home, she needs you!" say him.

He just kept quiet without giving any response.

"You go home first, why take care of me?" kenny asked with a cold look. It was cold that afternoon.

"I don't take care of you! But will your attitude like this make Ms Felly come back again?? Didn't you??" say me.

Kenny was silent for a while, I knew what he was feeling right now, but I also didn't want him to dissolve in the atmosphere that would make him slump.

Slowly I pulled his hand to get up, he stood up. Her tall body made me raise my umbrella even more.

"You have to be strong Ken, for the sake of Icha and your baby, they really need you, who else would take care of them if you weren't Papinya!" exclaim me.

Again Kenny just kept quiet, he then walked away from Felly's grave, out of my umbrella that sheltered him.

I followed behind him.

Kenny continued walking under the torrent of rain.

He finally reached the road after coming out of the tomb.

I know he didn't bring a vehicle, probably because his mind was down at the time, making him a bit dazed.

The rain started to subside, I pulled out my phone in my pocket, and started booking taxis online for Kenny.

Kenny was still standing on the side of the road with a blank look, as if he was dead reluctant to live.

I was still waiting for him. We kept quiet without talking.

About 10 minutes into the taxi I ordered, he stopped right in front of me.

"For a moment, sir!" I said to the taxi driver. He also nodded his head.

"You go straight home Ken! Change your clothes and be calm! Remember, you have two kids who need you right now!" I said to remind him.

He did not speak directly into the taxi.

"Sir, take her to the address I shared earlier, she's sad, so don't talk to her, make sure she really walks into her house!" I told the taxi driver, the taxi driver nodded his head.

After the taxi that took Kenny left, I started booking a taxi for myself via the app on my phone.

A little relieved because Kenny finally wanted to go back to his home.

Arriving home, I immediately rushed to take a shower and changed clothes.

Lately I often avoid talking to my father and mother, nothing, at my age who is now 28 years old, they always talk about my soul mate problems.

For some reason, my heart was always closed to every man who approached me, including Leo.

I know Leo has liked me for a long time, but I only consider him a friend, nothing more.

Now that I'm happy, Leo finally found his soul mate. He even married first, I live now who is single.

Gts ... Gts ...Gts ...

The sound of knocking on the door blew my daydream.

I immediately got out of my bed and opened the door.

I was standing at the door with a glass of warm tea for me.

"So you're rained on, it must be cold, it's tea!" Mom offered me a glass of that warm tea. I immediately gulped it down.

My body feels warm now. But Mother still did not leave her place.

"Din, can I come in? Let's talk for a second!" said Mother.

I was a bit hesitant to say yes, the article will definitely ask the problem of a mate again, I was bored.

"What do you want to talk to?" my many.

"Just talk, time can't!" sahut Mother. I finally nodded my head.

Mom walked behind me and we sat on the edge of my bed.

"Where's Father?" my many.

"Father is still at Mr. Banu's house, since he has not come home, maybe because of the rain, did not meet earlier?" ask mommy back.

I just shook my head.

How can I meet, I never come to Kenny's house, I immediately come to the tomb, that's me avoid the crowd, I'm afraid others gossip my presence. Anyway, I was Kenny's ex-girlfriend.

"Pity, fate of Kenny, not long ago married was in stay dead his wife, even now his status even became a two-child widower!" said Mother.

I just kept quiet, I still don't understand the direction of mother's conversation.

"You still have the same heart as Kenny Din?" ask Mother.

I gasped at Mom's question, one I couldn't answer.

At the moment Kenny is grieving, but why do you ask such a less beautiful thing.

"No ma'am, why did you ask that? Not worth the taste! I'm tired Mom, can I take a break?!" I immediately put my body on my bed.

I saw that mom just shook her head and left my room.
