...In this world, no one knows when our footsteps will stop, stop for good......

"Sorry to interrupt your time, Mr. Levi's. I am the doctor who treated your mother. I want to apologize for my incompetence. Mrs. Ayla. is gone for good."

The doctor's words continued to ring in Rea's head. Like a broken tape that haunts his mind. Dancing in his sense of hearing. Disturbing his heart that was in chaos.

Slowly pull the bright gray curtains. I wish there was sunlight coming into her room. Illuminate and warm his room which is now pitch-black.

But unfortunately, the main component in the solar system is now invisible to decorate the horizon.

The blue sky that normally stretched, now turned a little dark with black clouds scattered everywhere. The little crystals kept descending from the sky. Fall wet the earth that has been dry because of drought.

But the dryness in Rea's liver can't be treated with just rainwater.

The pregnant woman nodded. Looking at the sky that seemed to be crying.

Reversing her body, Rea immediately turned her face when her eyes caught a very painful object.

Slicing his already weak heart from a while ago.

But Rea had to be strong, everyone was helpless at the moment. Therefore Rea must be strong to support those who at any time can fall just like that. Don't care if he falls, who will catch him.

"Levi.", call Rea quietly after standing in front of the guy who was sitting on the floor. Leaning at the foot of the bed. His head is deep. It is as if you are isolating yourself from the outside world. One of his legs was flexed as the stomping of his weak hand.

But amazingly, the other hand is still faithfully rolling the prayer beads in the grip.

It was as if it was the source of his strength for now.

"Why?."

It was like Rea was crying when she saw that expressionless flat face. But no one knows better than Rea, if behind the mask there is a face filled with tears, and a heart-wrenching scream.

Just like yesterday.

"Come out, Mama has been waiting for us outside", said Rea while rubbing Levi's hair disheveled.

Levi turned his head to stare at the window of his room which displayed the outside atmosphere. The rain is not heavy, but it can make someone drenched when standing under it.

"From last night the rain kept on" instead of answering, Levi instead uttered a real fact.

"The windfall from God", Timpal Rea followed Levi's point of view. Then Rea squatted down a little to be able to stare directly at the gray bead that could always make her drunk.

"Should I be grateful?", asked Levi as he looked at Rea who was wrapped in a black robe and his head covered with a piece of cloth in matching colors.

Rea smiled weakly, "Yes, you should."

"But, I can't."

Rea cupped the face of Levi who was about to go back down. Rea would not let the man dissolve in grief alone.

"You've got me, and our son" Rea put Levi's big palm on his belly, "We can get through this, can't we?", he said?", he added by stroking Levi's eye bags that looked enlarged and blackened.

Levi looked intensely at the beautiful face of his wife who looked overcast today.

"My wings are broken next door, I will not be able to fly again" Levi said meaningfully.

Rea commented on her thin smile, "Can, use the plane", joked Rea while tidying Levi's hair to make it look handsome. Her husband's errata are handsome, very even.

Levi let out a short sigh while closing his eyes. Enjoying the gentle stroking of his wife on his head.

"Come on, we're out", with one of his hands clutching the prayer beads tightly. Levi pulled Rea slowly to get up. And brought the woman he loved so dearly to see for the last time the angel who had broken his heart.

Split in two, to numbness.

When the brown door opened perfectly. The chanting of the holy Quran instantly filled the entire house. Reverberating all over, reconciling the heart that is in turmoil.

Raindrops, as if to be the music of this profound accompaniment of grief.

Rea's footsteps stopped when she felt Levi being riveted. Sculpting on the doorway with a hand that tightly grasped Rea's palm.

The veins of his neck were printed so clearly, as if Levi's skin was very thin. His jaw line hardened with a sharp look.

To the extent that Rea was made to tremble in fear by him. Rea seemed to see Levi time in the back yard of the school that night. Like an angel who takes away life, who does not forgive its prey. Beringas, and creepy.

But Rea dared to stroke Levi's back, "Istighfar, leave everything to the power" he whispered slowly.

"Now, my mom is not sick anymore. Maybe this is what Mama wanted. Now we can only doain him, to be calm on his side", continued Rea's powerful make Levi softened.

Rea's heart seemed to be sliced when Levi turned to look at him with reddened eyes holding back tears.

"I'm not strong", said Levi with a voice that sounded vibrating. Then Levi let go of his grasp and was about to turn into the room.

Rea was surprised, "You want to go"

"Levi!."

"Outage by biz burdayiz."¹

A middle-aged woman with a middle-eastern face suddenly came and hugged Levi. Preventing the guy from re-enacting himself in the room.

"Dad?."

Oma?, is that Levi's grandmother from Ayla's side.

"Meet your mother one last time."

Rea was shocked when he heard Oma Levi who spoke Indonesian so eloquently. Although the logic sounds a little strange.

Ah, Rea forgot that her mother-in-law's family used to live long enough in Indonesia.

"It's free if you don't see Levi's eyes."

"But the important thing is you can see Mama right?."

Aergul, Oma Levi immediately turned his head when he knew that someone was standing behind him.

His eyes rose and fell judging Rea from top to bottom.

"Monday because of me?"²

Levi cleared his throat briefly in response to his Oma question.

Rea gave a clumsy smile staring at the puffy face that looked at her full of value. Then unexpectedly his old body had embraced Rea in his warm embrace.

"Pretty. Oma titip Levi ya", whispered Aergul slowly who replied a small nod from Rea.

"Buyukanne, her sylphaz."³

The baritone voice interrupted the three people who were there. Aergul outlined his embrace and nodded at the tall man no less handsome than Levi.

It looks like it's one of Levi's cousins. Levi's family from Turkey is indeed an average of all. As for the Devora family, only the uncle and some of Levi's distant brothers.

While the Rea family had started staying at their house since yesterday. After Rea told the news.

"Ayok Levi", take Aergul.

"But Oma-"

"Don't be stubborn Levi", unknowingly Rea was upset and yelled at her husband.

Rea knew Levi was sad. But not wanting to meet Ayla is not a good thing.

Levi sighed and walked first. Making the three shake their heads slowly.

...###...

"May I bow at my mother's feet for the last time, Ustadz?", Levi's request made everyone in the living room stare back at him.

A man who was sitting was standing next to his stiffened body, his pale face covered by a white sheet. He showed his tightly closed eyes.

Killing all Levi's hopes. Dispelling all the thoughts of Levi who only thought this was a dream.

It's real, Mama's gone.

Before Mr. Ustadz could speak, Levi first held Ayla's icy feet. Kissing the sole of the woman who gave birth to him eighteen years ago. Raised it to this moment. Who always supported whatever he wanted.

Her angel. The first woman in his life who was very much Levi's love and affection.

"I'm sorry Levi Ma. Forgive all the mistakes of Levi", Levi softly explained without removing his lips from the soles of his feet, "I'm sorry Levi who rarely takes time for Mama. Forgive Levi Ma, sorry."

Rea lowered her head while biting her inner lips. Prevent his stuffing that almost escaped. His heart was not strong to see Levi who returned fragile like that.

Like yesterday when Levi first heard that Ayla was gone. Even the guy was raging not accepting. Throwing and slamming everything.

If only Rea hadn't stopped that day. Maybe Levi who is sick will be determined to pick up Ayla's body in America.

Instead of nothing, Rea just did not want to take the risk with the condition of Levi who was in a state of severe pain.

Until last night, Ayla's body arrived in Indonesia. Levi roared again and asked Ayla to open her eyes.

Levi was completely insane from the loss.

All the funerals went well. Full of tears and the chanting of the holy Quran.

One by one the footsteps left the still wet earth. Until the second where only Levi and Rea are left under the frangipani tree that shelters Ayla's final resting place.

No more tears and sobs could be heard from Levi. The guy just squatted down and stroked the tombstone that read the name of the mother.

But no one knows better than Rea, if behind the sunglasses there is a pair of beautiful beads that are mists. And no one knew that in there, Levi was screaming. Disorganized, disintegrated, and disoriented.

"Levi-"

"Mama left before squirming her grandchild", cut Levi who made Rea back silent.

"He wanted to be healthy, he wanted to see his grandson, but he went away anyway Ma", complained Levi who sounded annoyed, "Where far away is going."

Rea looked up at her face when her eyes were again dewy. Rea doesn't recognize her husband.

"When can we eat sushi together?, Mama's subscription boutique has the latest product", Levi's cerocos as if the corpse down there can hear it.

For a few moments, the mood went back to silence. There was only the sound of a cold breeze piercing the bones. The rain had subsided, leaving its tracks everywhere.

"Ma, Levi missed."

Roboh is Rea's defense. The crying broke again. Rea quickly pulled Levi's hand which had been crouching. Hugging her frail-looking husband's sturdy body.

"Uchlasan. Mama was calm there. Maybe Mama had met Papa in heaven there" said Rea with a bit of excitement. Glanced at the tomb right next to Ayla's tomb. His headstone reads Space Leon Devora.

"It's not fair, you're not talking to me."

God, rather than this, better return her cold and indifferent husband.

Rea couldn't see such a fragile and desperate Levi.

"Rea, now I'm really an orphan."
