Tears And Love's

Tears And Love's
Part One



A few years ago.


The night sky looked so dark. The rain that seemed unwilling to stop finally subsided after hours down wetting the earth. The stars appear to dim in the black and dark night sky. The specks of rain that had just subsided were still audible, albeit faint. Leave the cold air tightly hugging.


A group of people dressed in all white began to be seen leaving the house painted yellow ivory in front of which stood three units of colored tents in harmony. A yellow flag hung on the side of a dark iron fence that protected the house. Puddles of water sprung up on the street in front of the house that was slightly damaged.


“I'm so sorry.”


The word continues to flow from the guests who are now busy giving their condolences to Mr. Andre who is standing at the door of his house. With a clean white shirt, Pak's face


Andre looked so shabby and so tired after experiencing a series of events that he had to pass all day.


Mr. Andre then turned his gaze and looked at a woman who was standing not far in front of him. The woman who was holding a daughter who was no less beautiful than the woman. His eyes had never been separated from her since the first time she had arrived. Suddenly a man in a black suit approached the woman. They both look so familiar.


“Away home?” ask the man to be friendly with the woman. The woman nodded with a sweet smile.


“Iya, Mas, Sasi is also fussy about wanting to come home,” replied the woman while glancing at the girl who is now struggling spoiled in her arms. A girl wearing a sea blue canal dress. It makes the little girl look beautiful and


sweet.


The man then knelt down in front of the little girl named Sasi. “Sasi want to go home?” asked the man while rubbing Sasi's left cheek. A spotlight of gentleness was clearly visible in the eyes of the man when he saw Sasi.


Sasi nodded while narrowing her eyes which were getting sleepy. “Yes, Pa, Sasi wants us to go home. Sasi is already sleepy, Pa ...,” whine Sasi slowly.


The man then stood up and approached Mr. Andre who was standing nearby. “Ndre, I go home first, yeah. Me and Nia are sorry for the passing of Aster, your wife,”, the man said as he patted


shoulder Mr. Andre, concerned.


Mr. Andre nodded at a glance and returned the warm applause of the man. “Yes, it's okay, Reno. Maybe it was her destiny to leave this world and leave me alone. She let me to take care of Yogi and Sora without having her by my side again.”


The man named Reno then smiled faintly. “I'm sorry about the fate of Yogi and Sora. At his young age, he had to lose the figure of a mother.”


Mr. Andre smiled bitterly and looked straight ahead. “I will definitely get a surrogate Mother figure for my children. I won't let them lose the figure of a Mother.” Mr. Andre was determined as he looked at Bu Nia who was carrying the sleeping Sasi.


“I wish you could as soon as possible get Aster's replacement and make her a mother for Yogi and Sora.”


Mr. Andre smiled at the words of Mr. Reno. “It will happen as soon as possible,” murmured Mr. Andre slowly. Then the two hugged each other tightly.


“I go home first yes, Ndre.”


Mr. Andre nodded softly after previously receiving a warm pat on his shoulder. After removing the departure of Mr. Reno family, Mr. Andre reached into his pants pocket and took out a cellphone from it. With fast movement and trained fingers to play around on the phone keypad.


“Do my command correctly!” decisively.


***


A boy was sitting on a wooden chair. His eyes looked straight at the stars whose light seemed so dim. The rain that has just subsided still leaves a cold on the skin. Even the smell of wet soil was still clearly smelled in his sense of smell.


But the cold was not felt for the boy. His eyes looked straight at the stars whose rays were dimming. His eyes were clouded, covered in a mist of tears.


“Ma, why did Mama leave so badly? Mama said Mama wanted me to play, but why did Mama even leave me with Papa alone? Why, Ma?” ask the boy. His body was now shaking, his shoulders were looking up and down. There was a faint sound coming from his lips.


The boy slowly shed tears that from earlier he held on with all his might. The tears she held back as she watched the much-loved body slowly enter into the pit. Raga


he could no longer embrace her with warmth that made her calm and comfortable.


“And I still want to play with Mama. What Mama


don't you love me anymore? That's why Mama left me alone?”


“Yogi?” call a voice near the boys


that's. He turned and found an older boy


a few months from him was standing while looking at her with concern.


Yogi quickly wiped away the remains of his tears as


he saw the boy walking up to him. He is upset now, because


there is someone who disturbs his personal moments like this.


“Sora?! Why are you here?” ask Yogi while


glared sharply at Sora who was now sitting nearby without permission.


“I want you here, Yogi. I'm sad too


because Mama left us,” said Sora, his face looks sad.


Yogi looked at Sora while smiling mockingly. “Sad?


Why are you sad? My mother is nobody to you. You're not a child


mom's bladder! I am Mama's real son!” pekik Yogi cold.


Then Yogi stood up from his seat and stared intently


towards Sora. With a haughty step he passed Sora who was gawking no


I believed it after hearing her words just now.


Sora lowered his head and muttered sadly,


“Yes, you're right, Yogi. I'm not Mama's real son, but am I wrong


if I also feel I'm losing Mama?”


***


The sedan drove on the already deserted road.


Only street lights accompany the journey of the people who are in the car


those. Then the car lowered its speed and occasionally walked


by stumbling.


“Why Mang Ujang?” ask Mr. Reno worried when


seeing Mang Ujang who looked agitated.


Mang Ujang turned off the car engine and turned to Sir


Reno. “Mamang don't know either, sir. Suddenly the engine of the car became gini.


Maybe the end must be replaced with a new one,” he replied.


“Ya already, mending Mang Ujang to the workshop first.


Let us get off here and take a taxi to go home,” suggested Mr. Reno.


“Ta—but Sir, now, it's night. There are rarely


taxi through this hour,” reject Mang Ujang.


But Mang Ujang speech is free, because Mr. Reno and


Miss Nia got out of her car.


“Well, it's no cab!” exclaim Mr. Reno while pointing


the taxi is not far from them.


“Ta .. but Sir.” Mang Ujang is still trying to prevent.


“Already, Mang Ujang to the workshop. We can go home


take the taxi,” said Bu Nia while holding a sound Sasi


fell asleep. The little girl was so exhausted.


Mang Ujang looked at the backs of Mr. Reno and Bu Nia who were


approaching the blue taxi. He let the bodies of Mr. Reno and Bu Nia and


Sasi was taken away by the taxi and disappeared behind the corner. Ujang Mang


feeling bad. That's why he stopped Mr. Reno


get off his car.


“Duh Gusti, hopefully nothing happens with


Mr. Reno and Ms. Nia,” hope he is in great anxiety.


Mang Ujang has been working at Mr. Reno's house since he was a boy


it was a teenager. Mr. Reno is a very kind and not arrogant person. Him


always regard Mang Ujang like his own parents, not as


a worker at his home. That is what makes Mang Ujang feel at home working in


mr. Reno's House.


“I feel bad. Why, huh? Ah, hopefully


not something bad,” thought Mang Ujang and shortly afterwards tried


re-start the car engine and pass from that place to the workshop


his subscription.


Mr. Reno looked at his daughter who was sleeping in the


his wife's lap is also sleeping. Mr. Reno smiled looking at the face


polo Sasi who often makes him want to quickly go home from the office to


he saw the laughter of his seven-year-old daughter.


Mr. Reno looked at Sasi and Bu Nia in turn.


A happy smile was engraved on his face from seeing the very creation of God


this beautiful. These two angels God gave her made her so


gratified. Sasi's face was very similar to Bu Nia's. They are like the pins


on the other two. Mr. Reno felt his life was perfect because God had


she gave two beautiful angels into her life.


Mr. Reno advanced his body and kissed Sasi's forehead


slowly. There was sadness that surrounded him at that time. Mr. Reno now


he looked at his wife's face on his shoulder. Again there is a taste


sad to approach him. Loss that stifles the chest. I don't know why


the feeling began to catch him earlier.


Mr. Reno turned his face away and tried to dispel


her fear. As his eyes stared straight at the street in front of him, suddenly a


an extremely dazzling light came towards him. With a swift Mr. Reno


hugging the bodies of Sasi and Bu Nia, trying to protect the two in his arms.


It happened so fast that Mr. Reno could not remember what had happened


happen.


Mr. Reno opened his eyes slowly and looked at Bu Nia


who is still in his arms. A faint smile was imprinted on the corner of his lips


when I saw the surviving Bu Nia. Mr. Reno flinched when he saw Sasi's head


it was filled with blood flowing. Mr. Reno clasped Sasi's hand, and,


tightly. His eyes were closing slowly. After that, everything became


darkened.

Mr. Andre ran down the hospital corridor with


panicked. After receiving a call from the hospital, he immediately caught gas


to the hospital in question. From a distance he saw the middle Mang Ujang


sitting on one of the benches in the waiting room with a bent face. Expressionless


worry was evident on his tired-looking face.


“How are things, Mang?” ask Mr. Andre


he was busy breathing.


Mang Ujang raised his head briefly and shook his head


slow down. “Mamang doesn't know either, sir. Now Mr. Reno is in the room


ER with Non Sasi. Bu Nia is now in the ICU room,” explained Mang Ujang with


teary eyes.


Mr. Andre took a breath and sat down on the bench


empty next to Mang Ujang. Shortly after, a female doctor came out


from within the ER. “Is there a family here Mr Reno?” ask the doctor


to Mr. Andre and Mang Ujang.


The reflexes of Mr. Andre and Mang Ujang stood up and went straight


approaching the doctor. “Iya Doc, my sister Mr. Reno,” replied Mr. Andre.


The doctor then breathed heavily. Her face


turned to sad. “Sorry, Sir. We tried as we could, but it turned out


God wants something else. Mr. Reno has been called to face him,” said


the doctor then passed leaving Mr. Andre and Mang Ujang.


Mang Ujang sat languidly on the floor when he heard


that news. He still did not expect that it was his last meeting


with Mr. Reno. Mr. Andre was silent while leaning against the colored wall


that white. His eyes looked straight ahead. Shortly thereafter, the corner of his lips


interested in forming a smile.


After receiving medical treatment, finally


an hour later, Miss Nia opened her eyes. He was surprised because when he


he woke up not in his room, but in a room


dominated by a pale white color. The smell of the drug lurched in his olfactory organ.


Bu Nia turned her face to the side. He flinched


when he saw Mr. Andre standing near him with a meaningful smile. “You


already awake?” ask Mr. Andre slowly.


Ms. Nia circulated a glance throughout the room.


Then his gaze stopped right on the figure of Mr. Andre. “This is in hospital


right, Ndre? Why am I here?”


“You were in an accident,” replied Mr. Andre as calmly as possible.


Ms. Nia widened her eyes in disbelief. “Accident?”


Mr. Andre nodded slowly. “About an hour ago


you accident. You, Reno, Sasi too. The taxi you were riding was hit


by a dump truck speeding forward in front of you.


That's why you can be here.”


Ms. Nia flinched. He quickly rose from


his sleep. Mr. Andre immediately held onto Bu Nia's arm as soon as he saw Bu Nia who was about to


go awayl. “Please me, Ndre! I want to see Reno and Sasi! I want to make sure


they are fine!” peekkik Bu Nia while pushing the shoulder of Mr. Andre.


“They're gone, Nia ..” whispered Mr. Andre as soon as possible


in all probability.


Bu Nia was fixated on hearing Mr. Andre's words just now.


He looked at Mr. Andre in disbelief. “Pe—away? Meaning of words


what are you, Ndre? Gone off? Go where?” tanyanya. There's a fear


in his heart after hearing Mr. Andre's words.


Mr. Andre lowered his head. At first glance he looks


very sad and sad. “They're gone from this world, Nia. Reno and


Sasi, son. They've been called to return to the Creator.”


Bu Nia felt that part of her soul was gone right then and there.


He immediately sat weak. It was as if there was not a single bone attached


on body. Her tears fell unbearably. With a swift embrace Mr. Andre


the fragile-looking body of Ms. Nia. “Why did they leave so fast?” ask


Ms. Nia lirih. Then he stared intently at Mr. Andre. “You lied, right


same with me, Ndre? You lied, right? Is Reno still alive? Yes, right?”


“They're gone, Nia,” replied Mr. Andre.


“Long!” peekik Bu Nia could not believe it. “You lied, Sasi


still alive. So too with Mas Reno!”


“They've gone Nia. The accident took lives


they both.”


“Long!” peek at Bu Nia again while trying to push


mr. Andre's shoulders are as strong as possible. With a swift attitude, Mr. Andre restrained the body of Bu Nia


about stand.


“Where are you going, Nia?”


“I want to see Sasi Sama Mas Reno! They're still alive!


I'm sure of it, Andre!”


“They are dead. You must accept the faith


that, Nia!”


“Cannot be! There's no way they're gonna leave me! No


maybe they died! No way! They're alive!”


Ms. Nia couldn't hear anything else after that.


battered. So there are no more words that represent how devastated it is


his feelings at the time. His head felt so heavy that he finally fell


fainted.

Mang Ujang stared with great pity at the little girl who


still lying helplessly in front of him. That always cheerful little girl


still closing his eyes. “Mamang is very sorry about Papa's departure,


Non. If Non knows that Papa Non has left, surely Non will be very sad,” murmured


ogre.


“Mang Ujang,” call someone behind Mang


Crack-pawed.


Mang Ujang turned his head and saw Mr. Andre was


approached him. “He is still unconscious?” ask Mr. Andre while pointing at Sasi


with shoulders.


Mang Ujang shook his head weakly. “Not yet, Sir. Till


now Non Sasi is not yet conscious,” he replied sadly.


Mr. Andre was silent as he looked straight outside


window. Silence began to be created between Mang Ujang and Mr. Andre. Just sound


it was the clockwork in the room that broke the silence between them.


“Whose are you?” say a voice. Sontak Mr. Andre


and Mang Ujang turned his head and found Sasi had opened his eyes.


“Non is awake?” said Mang Ujang happily.


“Whose are you?” sasi asked with a frown.


Mr. Andre and Mang Ujang gasped in shock. Both


look at each other. “Non does not know Mamang?” ask Mang Ujang while


pointing to himself. Sasi shook her head in response. “Sama Mr. Andre


recognize you? Non, will often play to Mr. Andre's house, play with Yogi and Sora.”


Sasi shook her head again. “You who? Why do you guys exist


inhere? And this is where?”


Mr. Andre looked at Sasi in disbelief. Don't be him .… Mr. Andre later


folded his hands in front of his chest while smiling widely. A plan


it was in his head right then and there.


“Mang,” whispered Mr. Andre right in Mang Ujang's ear.


“Iya? Why Pak?”


“Can we come out for a minute?”


Mang Ujang glanced at Sasi, then he nodded.


“Can Sir,” said Mang Ujang and followed Mr. Andre's footsteps heading out.


Sasi stared at the confused two grown men who were


now leave him alone. “They are who, yes?” tanyanya's confused.


“What's up, Sir?” asked Mang Ujang after he closed


sasi's ward door.


Mr. Andre stared fixedly at Mang Ujang's face. “I


want Mang Ujang to hide the existence of Sasi from Nia!” decreed while


looking straight at Mang Ujang's bead eyes. Tucked away a command that was aplenty from the tone


prating.


Mang Ujang widened his eyes. “Meanour?”


“I mean, Mamang should not say to Nia


if Sasi is alive! Mamang just said that Sasi is dead.”


Mang Ujang widened his eyes. “Ta .. but.


Sir ...”


“No buts-fire Mang Ujang! Father just needs


following my orders!” exclaimed Mr. Andre then turned around. “One more


what Mang Ujang should do .. Mang Ujang should not mention Sasi's name


the truth about the boy. Mamang just change the name, which is definitely not Sasi!


After all, he did not know Mang Ujang was lying or not. He can't remember


with anyone, including himself.”


Mang Ujang was just silent looking at Mr. Andre's back


which is getting away from it. He exhaled heavily before finally


go back to Sasi's ward.


“I am actually who?” ask Sasi directly


seeing Mang Ujang enter.


Mang Ujang approached Sasi sadly. Still


imagine the conversation with Mr. Andre just now. The orders given by Sir


Andre was so unable to do. But he could not refuse because


mr. Andre is now his employer. Because Mr. Andre is a half-brother


Mr. Reno.


“Non,” call Mang Ujang slowly. Duh Gusti, what should I do this? tanya Mang Ujang


hearts.


“Bapak knows who I am? My name is who?” ask Sasi


plain.


Mang Ujang sat beside Sasi, he was about to open


her mouth. “Mang Ujang can not


mention Sasi's real name to the boy. Just change the name, though,


definitely don't Sasi!” Mang Ujang closed his mouth when he remembered


the words of Mr. Andre.


Sasi looked at Mang Ujang with a frown. “Kok


diem's? You know what my name is and who I really am?”


Mang Ujang closed his eyes and exhaled his breath


slowly. I hope what I do


this is the best. Mang Ujang opened his eyes and smiled at


Sasi's. “Sure. Mamang certainly knows Non. Name Non is Sasi Amora.”


***


“Where are we going, Mang?” ask Sasi when Mang Ujang


I was taking him away from the hospital. After five days in the hospital, the doctor


allowing Sasi to rest at home.


“We want to go home, Non,” replied Mang Ujang while


smiling sadly.


Sasi fell silent as Mang Ujang pulled his hand and


led him into the metallic red sedan.


“Pardon Mang Ujang, yes, Non..,” muttered Mang Ujang


sad while glancing at the dreamy Sasi.


Mang Ujang drove his car at speed


standardised. They stopped at a house with a minimalist colored shape


light blue. Mang Ujang directly led Orchids to come down. When they arrived


at the front door, a woman in her 30s greeted them with


wide smiles.


Mang Ujang released his armband from Sasi's hand


and talking to the woman, she occasionally glanced at Sasi behind her.


The woman glanced at Sasi at a glance and nodded many times. “Just you


take it easy, this kid will be fine.”


Mang Ujang turned around and approached Sasi. “Mang


Go home first, Non. Take good care of yourself here. Don't be naughty,” order


Mang Ujang then passed leaving Sasi who did not understand anything.


Mang Ujang could not hold back his tears


down's up. There was a feeling of guilt in his heart for having to leave Sasi in


that spot. “Excuse Mamang, Non Sasi.”


“Where are you going?” ask Sasi who successfully made


man Ujang's steps stopped. Mang Ujang quickly turned his body and


looking at Sasi sadly.


“Now Non will stay here.”


“Why stay here? Why am I not


stay with Mang Ujang aja?”


Mang Ujang shook his head and turned around


and immediately ran away from Sasi. He kept running and went inside


automaker. It didn't matter that Sasi shouted her name over and over again with


half crying.


“Mang Ujang!”


***


It had been four months that Bu Nia felt her world was empty. Day


for the day she spent staring at the photo of her daughter and her now-defunct husband


he can no longer be angry. Tears always come down every beautiful memory


he had once been in his heart.


As long as it is not a bit of food and drink


he managed to get in and fill the space in his stomach. The hunger was instantaneous


disappeared along with the loss of two people who are so meaningful in his life.


A warm pat on Bu Nia's shoulder for a moment


obliterating his long daydream. Bu Nia looked over and saw Mr. Andre


the one holding the tray filled with food stood behind him.


“Why don't you want to eat, Nia?” ask Mr. Andre


slow down.


Nia shook her head slowly and returned to face-to-face


the cheerful now cannot be touched.


“I'm not hungry, Ndre,” Bu Nia replied briefly.


Carefully Mr. Andre sat down next to Bu Nia,


put the tray she brought between her and Miss Nia.


“You should eat, Nia. If you don't eat, you


can hurt.”


“I don't want to eat, Ndre. I just want Sasi. I


just want my daughter here. I want to hug her, I want to caress


her hair, I want .…” Bu Nia does not continue her words anymore. Substantially


he started to shed his tears and cry as he pleased. “I want Sasi still


lived. He's still too small to go.”


With a quick movement Mr. Andre grabbed Bu Nia's arm


and embrace it lovingly. Bu Nia tried to release the embrace of Pak


Andre, but Mr. Andre's hand held him firmly.


“I want you to sincerely Sasi. Because as much as anything


you shed tears, no matter how much you cry, until every moment


it would not be able to return Sasi to this world again. He's gone from


this world, Nia. He was calm in his lap. You must sincerely bring him in order to


he is not worried about your current state.”


“I tried to make Sasi sincere, but as strong as anything


I try, I'm getting less willing, Ndre. I love my son very much. I didn't


I believe that soon I will lose him. I'm not ready, Ndre. I


not ready!”


“I will help you to escape Sasi and Reno.


I'll help you, Nia! I will help you to sincerely leave Sasi and


make you realize that Sasi is no more!”


“How to do, Ndre? I tried everything, but


even more I feel lost. What mother is not sad


lost a child she loved and loved so much? In that time


simultaneously I have to lose two people I love so much.”


“Iya, I know Nia. That's why I want to help


you are sincere Sasi.”


Bu Nia stopped her crying when Mr. Andre


releasing hugs. Bu Nia looked at Mr. Andre with a asking gaze


explanations.


“How to do, Ndre? How I can so that I can


sincere about the departure of my little angel? How?”


Mr. Andre exhaled slowly. He looked at Mom


Nia hesitated. Just as rahunya with her feelings will say the way


so that Ms. Nia can let her daughter go.


Without Bu Nia thinking, now Mr. Andre grabbed his hand


and hold it tight. His eyes looked straight at Bu Nia's confused eyes.


“Marry me, Nia! I'm sure this way can


make you let Reno and Sasi go. Be my wife and mother to


Sora and Yogi. That way you will be able to let them go.”


Bu Nia widened her eyes in disbelief after


hearing Mr. Andre's statement.


“Ta .. but Ndre.”


“Nia, is it not in his will that it is written


Reno wants me to take care of you? That's why I want to keep you in a bond


which we will live. I will take care of you with all my heart.”


“But I—”


“I know Nia, but what's wrong with giving me


chance?”


Bu Nia fell silent and lowered her head. He doesn't know


wanna say what. On the one hand he wants to accept, but on the one hand he wants to


loyal to Mr. Reno even though now he and Mr. Reno are different worlds.


“Give me time,” replied Bu Nia finally, after


long silent.
