SMILE A MENTARY

You are not alone

The roar of crying continued to flow as Abi clasped Surya's hand. Dirgantara Abimayu Prakoso, Abi Surya Diwantara's best friend since they were 5 years old, precisely when Surya and his family became Abi's new neighbors. Surya and his family moved from Yogyakarta to Jakarta at that time, and it did not take long for them to get to know each other and become best friends. Until finally this moment... On the eve of their graduation...

"Data.ttto..long... Yes.ga.a...dikku... Lllllindindungi. Aaaakuuu tiiitip diiia dannn kkkkuuuuamahaaku." Surya said stammeringly between the pain.

"I will guard it with all my strength and all my soul. I promise you Surya." I answered with a tight grip on Surya's hand.

"Tteriimaaa... Forgive me aaaaku." Surya then said before the ladder loosened and released my hand and looked at his parents.

Abi turned away from his temple and walked out of the room. Please allow both parents to meet Surya. When opening the door of Surya's ward, Abi found Mentari sitting down by slapping her face with both hands. There was a sobbing sound as Abi sat down beside him. A cry that is so soft but so heartbreaking.

Mentari is the twin sister of Surya only a few minutes after the birth of Surya, Mentari then born. Both are very familiar, the warmth and harmony of their families make Abi feel very comfortable if they are among their families. Abi was treated like part of their family.

Abi who was at home was only with her older brother and a few domestic assistants. The father of a businessman rarely came home and he always asked Mom to accompany him wherever he went. So yeah... Stay them both. Her sister prefers to be in the room, occasionally she invites to talk and out of the house together just swimming together or cycling together. Abi always took her time when she took her brother away, because it was the only time she had to be together with her sister. The rest of him with Surya and his family. She misses and expects family like the Surya family.

However, nothing in this world is perfect. Among the warmth of their family, 6 months ago Surya was diagnosed with Cancer. Precisely Spinal Cancer. Treatment has been taken, but fate says something else. To this day, Surya's condition has deteriorated. And...

A group of medics soon entered Surya's ward. Surya's father and mother came out of the room limp and the mother was swept away by the father.

"O Allah I am sincere... Well... I'm sincere..." Mother tried to encourage and convince herself that she was sincere.

"Yes bun, I know you're sincere. It's qadarullah... If Surya does not get sick again, Surya's suffering is over. The patient mother is bun." I tried to strengthen my wife.

They were still standing in front of the hospital room entrance waiting for the results from the medical team.

Abi turned to Mentari but he did not move. There is no emotional surge from Mentari to Surya's current condition.

"Mas.... Mas Surya ... Don't go mas ..."

Mentari's shout instantly made Abi startled and grabbed Mentari's body. Take him in the arms. A few minutes later one of the doctors came out of the room and told them the news.

The crying became more. Father stroked the top of the mother's head and convinced the mother that this was the best for their child. A mourning spell was clearly on the father's face, but he had to remain steadfast for the sake of his beloved son and wife. I saw once in a while Dad rubbing his eyes and his voice trembled. While the sun dissolves in his cries until the sweater that Abi uses is soaked.

There's nothing he can do. Abi was only able to endure his sadness as was Surya's father. He was tear resistant which almost slid in his eye pelvis. Abi does not want to be seen crying in front of Mentari, he will be more hysterical if later he sees me crying. But what power, tears still slid down Abi's face. Abi could only cry in silence just like his father and Mentari at this time.

After Surya's body was cleaned and bathed, they immediately headed for Surya's house. There has been preparation for the funeral and has been crowded with citizens and families who are not happy. But the family from Jogja has not attended, only relatives living in the Jakarta area who have also prepared the funeral.

The sun was still in Abi's arms at the moment, his body occasionally shaking from his cries. But not a word was said of him. Abi could understand his sadness. He only nodded when Abi offered him a drink and only a few sips just soaked his dry throat. Mother is still in the arms of her beloved husband. They hugged each other to share their grief.

Eating is done as soon as possible after the body is sholated. And now there are both of them. Abi and Mentari in Surya. Mentari poured rose water again and again on the navel the brother occasionally rubbed the headstone that clearly displayed the name Surya Diwantara bin Bima Diwantara.

"Mas.I'll be alone... Say hello to me if you are not ad... Adek ga wants to own... Mommy..." His whining sounded like a child being left to play with by his brother.

"I'm a Mentari. I will take care of you rich mas Surya keep you. I promise. I'm gonna be a mas lo." Abi tries to convince Tari that she is not alone.

Mentari simply fell silent and continued his crying. She now hugs the photo of Surya and Abi hugging Mentari.

"Loe ga own Mentari, I will always take care of you and your nemenin." Abi said softly while hugging Mentari's body and kissing the tip of his head. Unconsciously he kissed the head of Mentari, this is instinctive. It's just a regular reflex Abi thought.
