The Faithful Heart

The Faithful Heart
Open the Heart



The atmosphere of the tomb looks lonely. The mourners dispersed as soon as Ira's grandmother's body was buried. Only Hana and her parents and Dewa were left who had been seen stroking the wooden tombstone that read Asih Irawati. The eyes of the God were filled with sadness, as if he had not given up the person who had accompanied him had to go for a long time.


" Patient, son, please let go. Let grandma return to his side quietly." Hana's mother tries to appease the God.


The god only nodded his head while holding back his sobs.


" Let's go home, let grandma go quietly. It is not good to linger here lamenting the dead. Remember we all will one day be gone because that is human nature." Hana's father clenched and brought the body of the God to stand.


" Am a minute." The gods re-enact the headstone of Ira's grandmother.


" Lord of God go home first. Thank you for accompanying and taking care of the Gods all this time. Forgive the God who often disappointed Grandma. The gods will try to get better so Grandma doesn't have to worry there."


With a giant step, God finally left the navel.


O God, I beg you to forgive all the sins and sins of my grandmother. Put it in your most beautiful place.


Grandma,, now God is alone.


Hana's father drove the Gods into his house in his old car. Mom sat in the front seat next to Hana's dad. Dewa and Hana were sitting in the back seat. Unbeknownst to her parents, Hana silently clasped the hand of God trying to encourage her.


Arriving at the house of God, Hana's father and mother took the time to stop for a while just entertaining and then rushed back home.


" We go home first yes, if there is anything do not forget to contact us. Remember to be patient and sincere. And you Hana, want to come home or still want to accompany the Gods here?" said Hana's father.


" Hana Temenin God first Well. Father and Mother heart hearts on the road huh." Hannah kissed her parents' hands.


The state of the house of the Gods looks lonely. Some wreaths of condolence are still lined up in the courtyard of the house. The god sat down gloomily on one of the dining table chairs.


" Let's eat first, Loe must not have had time to eat at all right? It's vegetables and chicken I've got angetin." Hana approached the gods with a plate of rice complete with side dishes.


The god shook his head staring at the plate in Hana's hand with no taste.


" Let's dong eat, pity the worms in your stomach must have thrashed. Aaa..." Hana brought the spoon filled with food to the front of the mouth of the God and looked at him with a pleading gaze.


" Yeah.." Hana still continued to persuade the God with a clear face.


Looking at Hana's face, God did not let his heart finally open his mouth and chew the food.


The god took over the spoon that Hana was holding and filled it with food.


" It's loe's turn. Let's eat loe also must be hungry right, since morning has not breakfast."


The gods knew very well that Hana must not have had breakfast, because Hana and her parents rushed to the house of the Gods after the Gods gave news of their grief.


Hana's eyes sparkled, she immediately opened her mouth and devoured the God's mouthful.


" Good?" ask God.


"Sine." ketus Hana.


" Cuisine, that feeling was fitting." The god again scoops the food and puts it in his mouth. He chewed the food thoroughly, tasted it earnestly to examine the taste of the food.


" It's delicious, it doesn't taste salty."


Hana smiled, "If it's not salty let's finish the food quickly. I was just kidding, it felt good. He he - he."


"Thank you yes. Loe's been willing to accompany and comfort me when I really need someone beside me."


They go back to eating the food on the plate. It didn't take long the plate was empty.


Thank you, your presence means so much to me. Loe wants to be a place to share your joys and sorrows. As of now we have shared food and sorrow.


After eating, they sit in the living room. There they had a little chat, the gods remembered and told of the figure of Ira's grandmother. Hana being a good listener let the Gods put out all the lackeys in her.


" A relieved? Now you've been able to sincerely trust Grandma Ira, right?"


The god took a deep breath while nodding his head.


Suddenly their attention was distracted by a Land Rover Range Rover car that stopped in front of the house. The driver got down and opened the door for his passengers. Looks like a beautiful woman out of a luxury car that has a price range of 4 billion.


Hana looked up at the woman.


" It's so pretty, like an artist. Don't don't be an artist." snorted Hana who was greeted with a cold gaze from the Gods.


" Dear you're okay, right? Sorry the new mom can come now. I've been trying to get here as soon as I can." the woman immediately embraced God. However the God did not welcome his embrace and only smiled cynically.


Mammy? She's the mother of the Gods? Wow very pretty. Pantesan the handsome-faced God. Her mother was this beautiful as a model. The car is also very luxurious.


Hana was still staring in admiration towards the mother God.


" Yes Aunt, I'm Hana. Nice to meet Aunt." Hana welcomes the hand of the mother God and kisses the back of her hand.


Mother God smiled sweetly received a warm welcome from Hana.


" I went to the room to rest. I still remember the layout of this house, right?" ketus the God passed to his room.


" God." Hana tried to hold the hand of the God. But the God shook his head slowly.


" Give me time." God said. Finally Hana took off her hand.


" Go in first Aunt. I'll make you a drink first?" ask Hana awkwardly.


" No need Hana, you don't have to be too polite with me. Just act normal. If it's thirsty I can take it myself." said the God's mother kindly.


" He he's sorry Auntie, I forgot it's Auntie's house." Hannah felt silly and wrong.


"Thank you, you've been willing to accompany the gods in a time of slump like this. I believe you are a very special person to the Gods. God has never had a close friend. So right after Ira's grandmother told me about you, I was very happy and curious to see you soon. But my dear grandma has to leave us all this soon. I felt so guilty that I had not been able to repay his kindness. My grandmother always strengthened me. And willing to take care of and care for the gods wholeheartedly. God must have lost her figure very much, because all this time it was my grandmother Ira who was always by her side. Sometimes I feel like I failed as a mother." The Godmother wiped her eyes, unable to stem the clear liquid that had filled her eye sockets.


" I'm sorry, but I digress where."


" I'm sure Auntie is a good mother, because surely all mothers will do their best for her child. Sooner or later God will be able to accept Auntie, because deep down God must still love Auntie" said Hana.


" It's true what Ira's grandmother said, you're an amazing girl. You are very kind and carry a pleasant aura. It is only fitting that you can be a special person in the heart of God." The Godmother wiped away the tears that had wet her cheeks. She smiled and hugged Hana.


" Thank you yes. Mm if you don't mind I may not ask for your help to deliver me to the grave of Grandma Ira. I want to pay my last respects."


" Of course I can Auntie. But later Aunty to the grave of Grandma Ira with God alone. I'm all going home. Because I'm sure this is the time for God and Aunt to get closer and understand each other." Hana headed to the God's room.


" What if God still can't forgive me?" The Godmother hesitated.


" Look that God really loves and misses Auntie too."


Hana is a very nice girl. God was very lucky to meet him.


" Tok tok." Hana knocked on the door of the God's room.


" God, it's me. May in?"


" Czech." God opened the door.


" Let's go in."


" I want to go home now what's wrong, right? Oh yes, your mother asked to be delivered to Grandma's grave. You can, right?"


" Hmmm. But...." The god answered with a heavy heart.


" Hey, come on. I'm sure deep down, you miss the figure of your mother, right? And this is the most appropriate time to improve your relationship and your mother. I can see that mother Loe really misses and loves you. Please, do not hurt your heart again by denying the existing affection. Try God, open your heart to women who have conceived and given birth to you. Isn't this also Ira's grandmother's wish that loe and Loe's mother can improve your relationship. Please, please." Hana looked at the God Netra with a pleading gaze.


" I'll try."


Hana's face looked bright. A smile seemed to adorn her sweet face.


" Thank you, you're good and handsome." - teased Hana.


" Anew realize that I'm good and handsome? Here hug me."


Hana is approaching the God.


As the God stretched out his arms to embrace his body, "No muhrim, no hugging." Hannah stuck out her tongue.


The god squeezed the tip of Hana's nose.


" Thank you, for everything."


Finally the God came out of the room with Hana. Her steps seemed doubtful, but Hana grasped tightly her hand giving her strength to be able to face the doubt in her heart.


" I....Mum...." The voice of the God choked.


The Godmother who was sitting immediately approached the God and hugged him tightly. This time the Lord returned his mother's embrace.


" I'm sorry, son, I'm sorry, mother."


Both seem to dissolve in the arms releasing the longing that they had been longing for. God and his mother were sobbing together. Even unconsciously Hana's tears trickled down to see the heartwarming sight.


May this be a good start for the relationship of God and his mother. May the two open their hearts to forgive and understand each other so that there will be no more wounds between them.
