Who is this Kinan?

Mounds of land covered by green grass lined up neatly above the surface of the land area of 13.5 hectares with a few inches of slits from each navel, clean and beautiful with a striking green color. However, the beauty of refreshing the eyes in fact that place is a place that holds deep sorrow for people who are left behind.

The place as the last meeting before the departed is buried in the darkness of a burrow that becomes the final resting place, the, and in the end those left behind can only greet through prayer hoping to be found in a place more worthy of His side.

About 5 minutes have the three men standing right next to one of the mounds that read the name Keenan Afriyan born August 12, 1993 Died October 05, 2017 on a granite tombstone above it. For the first time Rea came to this place with the child with him, Varest had previously come to Keenan's tomb shortly before he married Rea and then both with Rea.

Pihong flower petals mixed with rose petals have been sprinkled over the tomb, the tomb, a single tear dripped unhindered on Rea's cheek which made Varest who was beside her turn his head and immediately embrace her shoulder as if giving strength through touch.

"Hi, sis. I'm coming." Rea said smiling softly, "Sorry well I just got here after a long time."

Rea sighed softly then turned to look at Varest and Zee beside her. "Sister, today I didn't come alone like before, there's Varest and Zee is also with me." The Jedanya while stroking the head of Zee who had been silent between his parents while carrying a bunch of sunflowers in his hand.

"Good Keenan knows Varest, right? He was the man who managed to get me back to happiness, the good man who became a good husband and papa to Zee." Melow mastered the atmosphere, Rea hid her face in the chest of the field of the husband who was met with a warm embrace by Varest.

Not like when Rea cried when remembering Keenan - Varest will usually feel guilty and consider Rea still loves her ex-husband very much. However, in contrast to now hearing Rea who introduced herself as husband and papa Zee, her heart was warmed despite hearing the wife's sobs in her arms.

"SIXTH AP-LI-YAN." The spelling sound was clearly heard which made Rea and Varest immediately bow to the source of the sound, zee's squatting looks make his knees and hands as a focus of his small body to bring himself closer to the tombstone he read.

Rea and Varest crouched down to fix Zee's position that almost fell because of his forward leaning body. "Darling, it's not the Sixth but KEENAN Kinan's reading." Obviously Varest while cleaning Zee's dirty hands because of the soil.

"What's this, Pa?" Ask Zee who began to be curious about the writing on the stone.

"He's just like us, baby. He's the same man as papa and Zee, but he's not with us. He's been with a God who loves him more." Clearly Rea was slow despite knowing that the son must not have understood what he said.

Sure enough the boy did not understand, his head he tilted left side while blinking 3 times quickly sign he was still confused by what was explained by the mother.

"She's Zee's closest person to me like Dad." Varest answered.

"Not like Andi, Pa? Ji is close to the same om Andi seling play together, transparent buy Ji cake a lot"

"Yes, same as Andi. But, Zee can no longer see him, Zee can only pray that he is always happy with God there." Varest.

"Om Kinan" Zee muttered, "Om Kinan who is it?"

Rea who heard the question of the son immediately turned to Varest, a little worried if the husband was sad with the desire to know Zee now. He did want to introduce Zee to Keenan but was only limited to knowing if there was anyone who deserved the boy to know his name.

However, Rea was suddenly fixated with a sentence coming out of Varest's mouth in response, a sentence capable of making him shed his tears for the umpteenth time while in that tomb.

"He's Zee's father. Papa who has brought Zee met with papa, papa who is very meritorious for making Zee and mama in papa's life now, papa who will always be in Zee's heart the deepest." Varest pointed to the left chest of the boy in his school uniform.

"Zee..!" Call Rea to Zee who goes straight to bed after playing with her papa.

"Darling, wash your feet and sleep." Reproach to the son.

"But, Ji's already sleepy, Mama." Reply to the lazy Zee to get back out of bed.

"Zee has to wash his feet before bed, it's not good to sleep if his feet are still dirty, baby"

"Tomorrow Ji wash your feet when you wake up." Tawar Zee is still reluctant to get out of the blanket that has covered his body up to the chest.

Rea could only shake his head when he saw the son who had closed his eyes pretending to be asleep, the woman glanced at her husband who was sitting quietly beside the bed with a small nudity to see Zee who bid for activities before her sleep.

Varest who understood immediately nodded, he stretched out his hands and inserted between the two armpits Zee then raised the boy until a shriek echoed, Zee blew his laughter amused by what the papa was doing.

Varest takes Zee into the bathroom in the boy's room intending to help him wash his feet. A few minutes later, the two men of different ages came out of the bathroom with Zee still in Varest's arms.

"Well, now Zee has bobo!" Varest sat Zee in the bed, pulling the coats up to cover the boy's legs.

"But first we have to pray."

Zee nodded, looking at his parents who were sitting next to him after that put his hands in front of his chest. He smiled and closed his eyes slowly.

"Bismillahillahmanillahim. Bismika Allahumma ahyaa wa bismika amuut." After that, he opened his eyes.

"Oh Allah, this thing Ji met father Kinan, Ji beldoa bial papa Kinan happy to see there with God, telus papa with mama Ji also happy to be transparent here with Ji and also sister."

"Maddie.." The two parents agreed after kissing both cheeks of the son.

"Good night, Dear. Sweet *****"
