Remember Me, Dear

CHAPTER 75. HORISON CEMETERY.

"Who?"

"I."

"What's it for?" asked Zelda astonished by the arrival of the fiancee from her best friend who came alone.

"You still ask? What kind of wife are you? Even before you're buried you don't want to see it!" horison snapped while entering and pointed at Zelda.

"I" said Zelda terbatas, Zelda who was about to talk immediately cut by Richard.

"What?! You are really outrageous! Where are your empaths, where is your sense of caring! Don't you know how he takes care of you and even loves your daughter! I didn't think you were a bad woman!" maki Richard to Zelda.

"Enough Richard! I know I shouldn't be here, I don't know why I'm here. I should be with him now!"

"Then why are you still here? You should be with him!"

Exasperated by his interlocutor Zelda began to pass Richard and was about to open the door of the room but had not yet had time to go out through the door Richard held him by pulling hard Zelda's hand.

"What are you doing! Off!" snapped Zelda while trying to let go of Richard's hand.

"He's not in the room, he's in the morgue right now" Richard told his friend's wife .

After telling Zelda, Richard walked past Zelda and closed the door.

Unlike Zelda, who suddenly felt stiff legs can not move until weak.

Richard who had come out first did not feel the steps of someone behind him, until he began to slow down his steps but still someone who he memorized how his steps still did not come.

"Where is he? Why would she be so willing to let her husband freeze in the morgue!" richard grumbled as he headed back to the room.

Richard who was annoyed with Zelda walked at a fast pace because he wanted to curse the wife of his best friend.

"He's so outrageous! He should have followed my lead -"

His steps and grunts came to a halt as he was about to go inside with the door slightly open, where he saw Zelda on the floor trying to stand up.

"Zelda, what are you doing?" asked Richard in a smoother voice.

"I can't stand up" Zelda said in tears.

Seeing the condition of his best friend's wife made Richard pity, he immediately went out and looked for a wheelchair.

After finding a wheelchair, he immediately took Zelda and sat in the wheelchair.

***

Body Room.

Zelda who was pushed by Richard began to enter a room that was quite cold. Zelda closed her eyes as she tried to hold back her tears as she saw the familiar body covered by a blanket.

"Please take me there." Zelda asked Richard in a raucous voice.

Richard followed Zelda's will by pushing the wheelchair onto the designated bed.

Seeing her husband dead silent makes Zelda reflex stand up until she forgets that her legs are suddenly weak can not be moved.

Bruk.(the sound of Zelda falling).

Seeing Zelda fall makes Richard immediately help and help Zelda stand

"I still can't believe this is you" Zelda said, wiping away tears. "What does this mean by your apology.., if this is what your apology means I should not want to." continued Zelda while holding Horison's arm still covered by a blanket..

"So your words, do you realize that your words make him sad" Richard said

"Sorry ... Forgive me if I make you sad because of my words but you shouldn't be the one apologizing for me...

True said the man, what kind of wife I am, I am not good and I am weak.

I'm sorry my husband ... Can you open your eyes and see me. Wake up baby..wake up...!!!" zelda cried and opened the blanket that covered her husband's face.

Hearing and seeing Zelda yell to make Richard quiet, he did not expect if Zelda really looks tormented with the death of his friend Horison.

"Yes Allah ... is this how you test me by taking all the people I care about???" zelda shouted in a louder voice, staring at her husband's pale face.

Richard who had deliberately let Zelda vent sadness now began to try to comfort her.

"Enough Zelda, don't make Horison sadder. He doesn't want you to be like this."

"What should I do Richard, I'm late, if I can turn around I don't want to be Zelda who can catch that criminal! If only I were a normal woman maybe my way of life wouldn't be like this, maybe I could meet and age with her" Zelda said in tears.

"You're wrong Zelda, she loves you because you're so tough, you're strong and great."

"I'm not tough, I'm not great and I'm not strong either. I can't live without him, I'm weak without him.

I should have told her earlier about my feelings. I'm late ..." said Zelda in tears.

"Those of you are not late, this is destiny, remember Zee birth and death is one of God's unchangeable destinies.

And what is happening now is God's rule. At least now Horison is no longer in pain."

"You are right .. My husband no longer feels pain. You are right .." said Zelda began to wipe her tears and tried to toughen up while wiping away the traces of her tears that stuck to Horison's cheeks.

"It is better now that Horison is bathed and buried, pray more. She'll be happy and smile if you don't cry."

Zelda started nodding and holding back her cries even though a few drops of tears were still coming out.

***

Funeral.

"Mother ... Why is this place similar to where we usually visit grandfather, grandmother and de sir? Whose grave is this, ma'am?" ask Nata to her mother.

Zelda simply looked at her daughter while holding back her tears.

"Why do you just shut up and look at me? Ma'am, whose tomb is this? Shouldn't we go to the hospital to see Dad?" ask Nata to Zelda.

"Mother ... Why are you silent? And why do they all look like they're crying? What happened, Mom? Tell me Mom? You okay, ma'am?" asked Nata while looking at everyone who was there.

"Dad's not okay" replied Zelda's data on her wheelchair.

"What does it mean, Mom? Didn't you still joke with me last night? Come on, ma'am, we're going to the hospital now."

Not getting an answer now began to sound sirens there arrived and began to stop at the tomb where Nata and Zelda are located.

Nata who saw the arrival of the ambulance car with the writing of the corpse made his heart pound very fast, one by one the people he knew were carrying the body and began to walk towards him.

"Mother ..., is father gone?" nata asked while looking at her mother's face that never stopped crying.

"Uncle ... Where's dad?" asked Nata who ran towards Richard.

Getting a question from the little girl who is very dear to him makes Richard can not stand to stay still until he began to get out of the group line and began to approach Nata and squat.

"Why is uncle just silent while looking at me?"

"Nata .. Dad was there, said Zelda from behind.

Nata did not believe what he had just heard.

"Mother ... Is that really dad?" nata asked while holding her mother's hand.

Zelda did not answer, she only focused on seeing her husband's body which would soon be put into a burrow.

"Mother .. Why do people put dad in there??? I don't let you sleep there." Nata said in tears.

"Dad can't be there, dad can't die, I'm still a little dad... Who is joking and learning? Dad wake up dad!!! Don't leave me and mom. Wake up!!!

Mother ... Dad hasn't kissed me on the forehead, haven't you always done that if you were going to leave? Why not Mom now ???

Father ..." said Nata while crying sobbing.

The speechless Zelda was only able to shed tears while watching her husband being buried and hearing the sound of her daughter's cries thrashing.

"Nata ... Already son. Don't be like this, don't make me sad. Actually I don't want to leave us but pity me, you know I'm sick." explained Zelda as she embraced her daughter who is now in her lap with a broken cry.

Now an inscription engraved with the name, date of birth and death has been planted in the tomb, fresh flowers have also decorated the mound. Slowly one by one colleagues and began to leave the tomb. Now there are only Richard, Anggie, Zelda and Nata.

"Zee and Nata let's go home, I'll take you." Richard said.

"I still want to be here" replied Zelda.

"Take Nata."

"No way."

"Then I and Nata will go home together."

"I'll be with you." said Anggie.

"Go home, let me and my daughter here. We want to be here. We'll both go home by ourselves."

"But"

Anggie's speech paused when Richard gave the code.

"Alright, then be careful." said Anggie.

Now in a tomb there is only Zelda and her daughter who are staring at the grave with the inscription Dodo Horison.

"Mother ... Put me down, I want to hold dad."

"But promise not to cry."

Nata simply nodded with her tears in her eyes.

Nata began to approach his father's grave and hugged the inscription with the photo still there.

"Dad,, this morning Nata did not believe what happened, for Nata this was like a dream, Nata's worst nightmare, father ..

Father ... Last night Nata had a dream of father smiling while waving his hands, you just smile not talking, what does this mean father? Why don't you answer my question, Dad????" nata said while crying.

Seeing that Zelda who had been holding back her tears finally could not he cry the same sobbing on a wheelchair, until she pushed her own wheel to go forward in order to hold her husband's grave.

Bruks.(.Zelda fell)

"Mother ...?" call Nata in wonder to see his mother fall.

"Don't you tell me not to cry, son."

"I'm sorry Nata, Nata can't, Nata's been trying but Nata's tears came out on her own Mom."

"Daughter, I'm sorry mom forbid you to cry but please don't cry because the more you cry the mother will also cry" said Zelda while hugging her daughter.

From a distance a handsome man in all-black clothes and glasses covering his eyes was seen wiping his tears with his handkerchief. He seemed to want to help the two women but he was afraid that his arrival would be uncomfortable.

"I'm so sorry for your husband's passing, I believe you're Zee's strong woman, as well as Nata's."
