STEVA'S PASSION

WELCOME

A cell phone was in his grasp, and Steva began to slide the screen, revealing a video ready to play, plastered by the pale and weak face of Razz.

"Hi, dear Stevaku? How are you doing? If you receive this video, it means that I have come home, I have been waiting for you for so long in pain. I'm afraid I didn't have a chance to meet, and I prepared this video for you.

These are my days over, this is when my weapon sinks and my dawn no longer dawns. Every living person will meet with death, for this is the real purpose of life.

My path and your path, in fact, do not meet to be our path, together with you make my way of life feel comfortable. But not with you, being in my path you languish.

Don't be sad, though far away, I am always with you, I am sound in your sleep, I cry in your tears, and I am happy in your laughter.

God still brings me to life even in the body of others, he grants me my prayers to love you for the rest of my life, and for the rest of your life.

You are the most beautiful gift, you are the beauty of heaven, be happy, that is my prayer. I love you."~ Razz.

"Go, Son. We're fine here, this is indeed our place, whenever you want, you can come visit us here,"

Aunt Elly, Uncle Yohan, Mrs Amora, Mr. Tan, and Steva were sitting together in the wooden chair of Uncle Yohan's living room.

After a month of silence in the village after Razz's departure, Lady Amora met Steva to be ready to go with her to Rome Italy, Lady Amora would bring Steva, Mr. Tan, and Mrs Gulnora to the country known as the spaghetti state.

"But bi?" Steva continues to resist, and Aunt Elly continues to persuade him.

Madam Amora begged and so did Tan. Steva nodded in response.

"Good there, take care of your health, remember there is a little one that you should take good care of. We will always pray for you" said Aunt Elly as they all bade in front of uncle Yohan's wooden house.

"Yes, Bi. Thank you for everything this whole time" Steva and Aunt Elly hugged very tightly and for quite a while, then Steva moved in to embrace Uncle Yohan. And Steva left with Lady Amora and Tan left the house that gave shelter to Steva to stay for a few months.

\[*The sound of the plane taking off\] At an international airport, takes Steva away from her homeland, leaving her people and memories to a new place, to carve out Steva's new passion*.

"BUGHL. BUGH. BUGH."

Malvin vented emotions at the punching bag, only with a sense of tiredness could he slightly divert the pain in his heart.

"Stop, Malv, the doctor warned you not to exercise hard first, do you want to go back to the Hospital? Or do you really want to die?" Uncle Ramon spoke but his nephew was reluctant to respond.

Malvin still continued to focus on the samsak in front of him that he kept beating, sweat soaked his hair, face and entire body.

"You have to remember the words Steva said, you don't have to end your life to end your problems, God has chosen you to live, so you have to take care of it."

"BUGH." the final blow, Malvin embraces a samsak that is swaying due to the pounding of his fist, his breath gasping, he is tired, and remembers Steva.

"You should be shaving, Malvin. God loves you more than Razz, you're the one he chose to stay alive." Steva and Malvin quarreled shortly after Razz's funeral.

Steva accidentally sees Malvin in the cemetery but he just keeps silent in the car, and from a distance Steva sees Malvin who almost shot himself in the head using a firearm, Steva quickly runs and blocks Malvin's intention to commit suicide.

"I chose him to live not because he loved me more, Steva. But because he wanted me to suffer more." Malvin said emotionally.

"Experience, are you aware of what you're saying? God let you live so you still have a chance to repent. So stop talking and acting like a no-one. The heart of the person I love so much has been resting in your chest, and I hope that you can take care of it, you will not waste its sacrifice. Don't have to end life to end trouble."

Malvin was still silent in daydreams. He recalled his last encounter with Steva on the hill where Razz was buried next to Steva's mother and grandmother.

"Have you heard anything about Steva, Malv?" Uncle Ramon spoke again, breaking Malvin's daydream.

"I don't care, Uncle. And I don't want to know" Malvin replied coldly as he took off his gloves. He then grabbed the water bottle and sipped it.

"Steva has gone, Malvin. Madam Amora took him abroad."

"DEG."

Malvin stopped drinking. He was just silent not responding, but his eyes were so sharp full of anger, also sadness. And with a quick movement he slammed the bottle until the drink spilled in all directions.

"I told you I don't care." Malvin stepped up leaving Uncle Ramon looking at him with pity.

"Huffftts,,,"

**3 months later**.

The Gemery Hospital, Rome Italy.

"Patience, Honey! It feels like that, but you will be very happy after seeing it born into the world! All pain will be replaced with happiness." Amora strengthens Steva, holding the hand of her son-in-law who she considers as her own child, Steva is struggling between life and death, she will give birth to her baby with Razz normally.

"Mom, aaaaa!" ringisan Steva turned into a scream.

"*Andiamo signora, solo un po' on one. Puoi farlo*." A female doctor who handled Steva spoke Italian.

"What-what did Dok-ter say, Mom?" on the sidelines of the pain, Steva asked curiously what the woman's doctor said, it was very troublesome to live in a new place where Steva did not understand their language and had to ask for a translation from someone else.

"The doctor said a little more, honey! Come on, you can."

"Aaaaa?"

"*Oweekk,,, owekkkk,,, owekk*,,,,"

"H~haaahh,,, hah,,, hah,,,," Steva's chest went up and down, her breath stinginging as if she had run out of oxygen supply.

"*Congratulazioni, il tuo bambino and maschio*." The doctor said, he then brought the newborn Steva, to be cleaned immediately before being handed to Steva to get the first touch of the mother's chest.

"Congratulations, sweetheart. Your baby has been born, you have become a mother, and Mom has become an *Nonna*!"

"Missy?"

"Grandma, in Italian, baby!" amora replied, Steva chuckled softly.

"What else did the doctor say, Mom?"

Amora cried with a laugh, she was happy and moved, also felt funny with Steva's innocence who still had time to ask without thinking about her very weak condition.

"The doctor said congratulations on the birth of your baby, baby boy."

"My boy?" asked Steva enthusiastically.

"Yes, honey, you'll be brought here soon, the doctor's cleaning up first."

The doctor came over carrying the baby Steva and gave it to the mother.

"Hi,,, baby, baby, Mom, her eyes are blue." cried Steva as she received her baby to hug her in the chest, *skin to skin*.

"Yes, Honey. He's very similar to Razz,"

"He's a junior Razz, Mom. Hello, dear, welcome, *Cupp*!" Steva kissed softly the junior Beby Razz's forehead.


*Connected*.
