The Ali family residence.
Adnan Soleman Lasantu and his wife, Mariana Mantulangi, were killed in Suwawa. Trias felt his day had arrived.two years ago, Saripah Hamid, the wife had passed away following the departure of two wives, Kenzie and Azkiya who had preceded ten years ago, killed in a surprise attack initiated by the Dracna Clan led by Ivanovich on Sergey Basarab's.
the old man had been weakly separated for a week.His breath was weak.By his side, sat with reverence the princess, Inayah with her two sons, Haidar and Haanish.
the two sons of the Lasantu family were reading the Qur'an slowly to calm their dying thirst for their beloved father, while Inayah waited for the father who lay weak.
several members of the Ali and Hamid families as well as family members from the family branches belonging to the Laiya-Balu-Lasantu extended family association, filled the guest room and the center of the residence.
dusk began to creep. a little more time maghrib will arrive. some family members who say goodbye to prayer in the mosque. while the woman chose to remain with the family at the last moment Trias let go of his life.
before long, both eyes of Trias opened. Inayah who saw him immediately fixed his seat and brought his body closer.
"Change.." call him softly.
inayah's call, made Haidar and Haanish stop reading.The two sons who had grown up were staring at their Bapu.
for a moment the two blurry Triassic netra scanned the ceiling of the room, then turned to her daughter.
"Yun.." said Trias weakly.
"Yun and the children are here Abah." replied Inayah with a smile even though both eyes had swollen from a lot of squeezing tears.
"What time is it?" trias asked in a barely audible voice.
"Maghrib's time is coming" replied Haidar, interrupting his mother.
for a moment Trias closed his eyes and opened them again. "Sholatlah.." he asked.
"What about Abah?" ask Inayah.
"Sholatlah.." back Trias ruled. "No more time.." he said with forced energy.
Inayah nodded.The woman then got up and opened the closet and pulled out the mucus.after which she moved towards the back and took the ablution water in the well tap. Haidar and Haanish took turns to look after the grandfather. After Haidar finished ablution, Haanish replaced the ablution while Haidar looked after his grandfather.
the Maghrib, the three prayed in the room to guard the Triassic. As usual, Haidar always appeared as a priest. Haanish stood on his right side while Inayah stood on the left side, slightly jutting back. Trias watched them praying and a smile fell from his lips despite his weakness.The series of prayers were carried out with full keshu'an. ten minutes later, the maghrib prayer ritual was completed.
the call of Trias makes the three come back closer.Haidar and Haanish are busy massage his grandfather's feet gently.
"Yun.." said Trias with bated breath. "In a moment, Abah's gone..."
the words of Triassic once again made Inayah cry, but the woman was as likely as possible not to let out a sob, let alone a wailing cry.
"That just want a message.never again grieve." said Trias with a withered smile. "That's it. that's it.." Trias' hand was raised pointing to something behind Inayah. "That's Umma and Iyun. both are behind you..."
Inayah lowered her face, she understood, who Iyun was meant by her father.it was the first wife of her father who died while protecting her when there was a siege incident decades ago. the name of his first wife was then given to the princess. Inayah once again spilled her tears without a sound. her lips bit each other to prevent the stuffing and lamentation from coming out.
"They both came to pick Abah up." said Trias happily amid his hoarse feeble voice. "Umma is so beautiful Yun. and so is my Iyun..."
Inayah could clearly see the tears flowing from the father's eyes.
"Get them Abah.don't worry about us here." said Inayah in a soft and trembling voice. "We can take care of ourselves. We sincerely release Abah. if Umma and Mama Iyun already want to bring Abah with them..."
"For your children. if something calamity befalls you.do not forget God.." Triassic message then gazed in an empty direction. "Wah.. now addendum... Your mother and your father smiled at me..."
Inayah increasingly felt his heart ache. but who can withstand death? the woman smiled again while shrinking her tears.
"Go away quietly." said Inayah, then she let go of her tears and after weeping, she looked back at her dying father with a smile. "We're willing to let you go."
Trias smiled and the man then took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.The old man's eyes closed and finally he fell asleep in his eternal sleep.
Inayah cried and recited the sentence istirja.
"Alhamdulilahi rabbil 'alamiin.. inna lillahi.." Inayah's speech was held back by her crying and she reconnected, "Wa inna... ilaihi rooji'uun..."
"Bapuuuu.." lasantu's two sons.
and the people who accompanied them in the guest room and the middle immediately knew that the retired policeman had gone home.the whole house was in an uproar and chanted the sentence istirja sahut said.
...*****...
as a high-ranking police officer, the funeral of Trias Ali was held militarily.in the family cemetery was opened by a residential house that was once inhabited by Trias and his late father Endrawan who had died. the residence was no longer there because it had been razed to the ground. Now the area has been converted into a family burial ground.
Triassic will be interred beside the grave of his wife, Saripah Hamid who is also buried there at Trias' request. Inayah had heard the words of her father.
Umma accidentally buried here... Abah does not want to be far from him. It is enough that your Mama Iyun separated from Abah... Abah did not want to lose a second time... someday if Abah died... lull Abah beside Umma, huh? you want to carry out Abah's will, right?
they entered the cemetery accompanied by a mourning song played by the orchestra team.the officers formed a formation.the coffins are placed on the right side of the burrow.on the four corners of the burrow stand each officer.
the ceremonial inspector stood some distance from the burrow.the ceremonial commander unsheathed the sangkur and continued with the recitation of the life history of the man who once led the regional police agency.
Inayah and her two sons stood in a mourner's fine.Unlike the family members who wore mourning clothes, Inayah as the first officer of AKBP rank wore PDUP clothes complete with stars and other awards marks. as for Haidar and Haanish wearing official suit suits.
after various events passed, the decline of the corpse to the burrow began.The four officers wearing PDUP clothes then spread red and white flags at chest height. Haidar and Haanish swiftly put away the suit and joined the grave-diggering officers, removing Trias' body from the coffin. even the two sons of the Lasantu family then went down to the burrow and helped put the position of their grandfather's corpse in the niche of the burrow.
on orders from the ceremonial commander, salvos firemen began firing bullets into the air during the funeral procession until the tomb was formed. Inayah came forward and sprinkled the pieces of paper flowers together with her two sons.
the event continued with the laying of flowers and words of welcome from the family. Inayah appeared to give a speech and showed his determination to make the mourners feel amazed besides being so compassionate with the only daughter of the Ali family. Inayah did not drop her tears.just the pain was felt from the trembling of her voice when delivering the remarks.finished the speech, finished the speech, the ceremonial commander then reported that the ceremony had ended to the ceremonial inspector then he returned to his place and sheathed again his horn.
the ceremony ended and one by one the mourners and police officers left the cemetery, leaving Inayah and her two sons standing over the mound of the burial ground that was still wet.
Haidar most felt lost with the death of Trias.The child felt that the teaching of silat and langga he learned was still not perfect.The death of one by one of the other practitioners in his family, starting from Adnan Lasantu, was still not perfect, Kenzie Lasantu and this time Trias Ali made the young man's heart feel hollow.
who was honest with his emotions was Haanish. the young man did not hesitate to cry and listen to his stuff. Inayah just let her second son sniffle. Haanish was not taught martial arts lessons by Trias or Kenzie. The young man drew martial arts precisely from his father and mother, he continued, whose flow is the same as his grandmother. but Haanish felt lost because Trias was very concerned about him even though the man was that the young man was not his flesh.
Inayah reached out with Haanish's shoulder and greeted him slowly, without turning her head, the policewoman said, "Pacify your heart, Eiji... Bapu is calm there. Don't you bother him with your stuffing."
Haanish finally eased his tears after being reprimanded by Inayah.many times the young man followed the still stubborn tears flooding his cheeks. Inayah then bowed.her fingers stretched out holding the shoulders of Haidar who was kneeling while he stared at the grave mound of the grandfather who was very respected.
"Let's go home Chounan. We've been here long enough." take Inayah with a flat voice that sounds sobbed.
Haidar took a breath for a moment, he was still at home looking at the navel covered in white cloth that stuck in the middle of the tomb.
"Can it be a little more? I'm still not satisfied with Bapu's tomb." pinta Haidar flatly.
"No!" answer Inayah firmly. "What else do you mean? Bapu has calmed down.His business with this world is done.let's go home. Mama still has to prepare for the takziyah event until the seventh day."
Haidar sighed heavily and then got up. His shirt and pants were dirty from the dirt.The young man put on a suit then turned around and passed without turning his head again. Haanish looked at his brother.
Inayah took a breath back. "Let him. it is appropriate" said the policewoman. "No one else will teach him lessons in silat. Chounan now has to try himself to perfect his martial arts, whether it's silat or Langga."
"I feel sorry for him, Ma." - Haanish. "Chounan is a stiff person since childhood.I always observe him.and the death of Bapu will certainly make his heart iron."
"Of the face, it will definitely disappear by itself, as long as we know and realize that everything is just a form of testing that God gives." said Inayah.
the two men stepped out of the tomb area.For a moment Inayah looked at her father's tomb, then her mother's grave.
good-bye Umma, I and your two grandchildren have brought Abah to your side.
Inayah looked at Haanish. "Eiji."
Haanish looked at the mother. "Where is your own mom going?" ask Haanish.
"Mama still has a little business" said Inayah.
Haanish long ago looked at his mother and finally the young man nodded and stepped away from Inayah.Polwan was still silently following the back of his second son who moved away until lost in the curve of the walls of the cemetery.
the policeman then turned and stepped back down the cemetery area.he stepped a little deep and found a flamboyant tree.
...SANDIAGA. LASANTU'S...
...Born February 29, 2022...
...Died July 10, 2070...
"Hello Ayank." said Inayah as she took off her pet hat and stared at the flamboyant tree trunk.
Sandiaga died, at the request of Inayah buried in the family cemetery Ali. Above the tomb, he planted the plant Delonix regia, the scientific name of flamboyant. the longer the tree grew, the larger it eventually covered the tomb with its trunk and roots. Inayah then carved her husband's name on the tree trunk as a substitute for the paita that was swallowed in, pressed by the tree's roots.
as if hearing the woman's greeting, the tree rippled as if there was a gust of wind blowing its leaves. Inayah smiled.
"Ah, you must have been happy there, playing with Rosemary. You make me jealous, Ayank." said Inayah slowly.The tears fell again and this time he sobbed. "You see? now it's just me, the keeper of this family.holy end of the Ali family is just me." sedu polwan it in the end and fell on his knees and then embraced the tree trunk.
"Ayank.. I miss you both." confided in the woman. "Abah's death.I feel a very solitude, Ayank. I. I am lonely.." sedu the woman.
on the tree, Inayah spilled the emotions that she had been enduring to show other members of her family and mourners that the only daughter of the Ali family looked tough when she was not. and this is where he is free to spill his emotions.
from a distance, Haanish looked at the scene.he did not intend to approach because he knew, the mother needs emotional expenditure so that her heart wedge is lost, or at least reduced due to the suffering event.
after being satisfied, Haanish turned back and stepped out of the area to let her mother vent her sadness there, and the tree rippled again as if understanding the woman's deep blue feelings.[]
