The sky was so pitch-black, the Sun did not appear to the world in the slightest, the rain did not rain down on the earth, only the breeze came. Looks like it's gonna rain in a minute. Or maybe it will rain like yesterday, down when dusk comes.
Silent, Cold. Only the sound of sobs could be heard from some of the people who were so unable to endure the sadness of Aiyra's departure.
Ilham just stood there, looking at Aiyra's navel. His heart was broken into pieces, his eyes were hot but he could not let out his tears, his chest felt so tight.
While Reno? He even cried like a child, he hugged the mound of red earth that was still wet, crying to call Aiyra, his clothes that looked dirty by the ground he did not care, he said, even her smooth cheeks were smudged by Aiyra's burial ground.
While Rere can still control himself, even though he is crying but not like Reno. Rere is more able to be wise by thinking positively that death may be the best path for Aiyra, rather than her husband's illness and disease that gnawed her body. At least now Aiyra did not feel any pain. Think Rere.
"Be calm there Mom, we love you" whispered Rere while sprinkling flowers over Aiyra's grave.
Mama Aiyra was sitting limp on a chair, accompanied by her other family. The complete family of Inspiration was there to take Aiyra's departure to her last resting place, there was no one who did not cry at that time except for Ilham who tried to stay strong.
"If there is life after death, stay with me, Mas, don't leave me even for a moment"
Aiyra's words in the rest of her time make Ilham a little hope, at least she knows Aiyra only loves her in the rest of her time. Is not life after death more eternal?
"until whenever I won't love another woman, wait for me there" murmured Ilham inwardly.
The clock shows the time getting noon, one by one people died a funeral, only Inspiration left. He who had originally stood far away from Aiyra's tomb, slowly stepped up and approached. Not the black glasses that he had been wearing. Inspiration squatting and sprinkling Aiyra's favorite roses.
Inspiration raised his head, when he found out that there were some people coming closer. Bram and his family.
Ilham smiled wryly welcoming their arrival.
Bram seemed sad, he cried regretting Aiyra's departure which he did not know. Bram is not completely wrong in this, because Aiyra deliberately does not want anyone to tell Bram about her condition, what does Aiyra think by doing that? does he only want Inspiration to accompany his last 7 days in this world?
No one talks, everyone seems sad, whether they are sad because they lost Aiyra, or they are just trying to look sad so that no one thinks negatively if they have to look flat. Only Bram seems really sad and sorry.
"Mas, Mama and I went home first yes, I'm afraid our son caught a cold"
Bram did not respond, Maura said, he continued to stare at the photo of Aiyra stored near the navel.
Maura and her Mama Bram left the funeral. Lama Bram was silent lamenting Aiyra's departure.
"i don't know what reason you didn't find Aiyra's whereabouts for almost a month or so you didn't meet. But Bram, I thank you so much for that"
Bram raised his head, he stared in wonder at what Ilham said.
"for over a month Aiyra in the hospital, I was the one who replaced you, I became Aiyra's husband in the end of her life, maybe this could not replace my mistakes with her all this time, but at least Aiyra knows that I'm sorry and that I love her so much"
" i was too focused on my son, when he was born his circumstances were not good, he had abnormalities in his heart and..."
"you're not wrong Bram, after all Aiyra herself doesn't want us to tell you her circumstances, I don't know what Aiyra's purpose is"
"what is Aiyra like?"
"Hmm, you shouldn't have been in Bram's life from the beginning"
"i know, and thank you for accompanying her when she was devastated and devastated by my attitude, oh yes"
Inspiration reached into his pants pocket and gave a piece of paper to Bram.
"this... Aiyra leave this, I'll go first"
Inspiration turning her back and stepping away from Aiyra, the woman she loved so much that she was now gone for good, would be a very hard thing on the day to come, missing someone we can't meet is the most painful thing. Tears of Inspiration dripping.
With tears still flowing, Bram opened a letter that Aiyra had written while she was in the care.
***For my husband, dear Bram.
Hi, brother, how are you today?
If Brother reads this letter, it means that Aya is already somewhere else, a place that Aya wishes there was no pain, no disappointment and no longer suffering.
Aya had long expected that death would come soon, but Aya did not expect that at a time like this Brother was not next to Aya, accompanying painful days.
Aya felt very sad, very sad, very sad, Brother Bram who always faithfully accompanied the hardest days Aya, Brother Bram who was always ready to replace Father, Father, guarding and protecting Aya from all danger and grief has now changed. Aya did not know why Brother left and did not contact Aya. Sis... Aya misses. very much miss the figure of Bram who used to be
How's the little guy? he's an angel? or a hero like his father? hopefully, Kak Bram's son will grow up to be a warm, kind and friendly person like Kak Bram.
Brother Bram...
thank you for all the sacrifices you have made during this time. Brother Bram who faithfully accompanies the worst day of Aya's life, becomes a protector for Aya and Mama while Dad is away. Thank you for the sincere love of Kak Bram even though I know there is something else in Aya's heart.
Brother Bram...
convey Aya's apology to Kak Bram's parents, sorry Aya couldn't be the daughter-in-law they expected. Aya also apologized to Brother for not being able to take care of our future children. Brother, will I meet him there? will he recognize me? but is that possible? because he was born before he was born. But if I met him, I'd tell him about you, about his great father, his father who loved us both so much.
Brother when Brother read this letter Aya please do not cry, there is no regret in Brother's heart.
In Aya's heart, Brother remains the best, happy brother. hug kiss from me who misses you.
Aiyras.
Your wife***
Bram squeezed the paper, his cries breaking. Bram hugged the mound of red earth that was still wet, he cried like that. It is regretful of Bram's heart, he who has always been in every difficulty and pain of Aiyra, but now? He never knew his wife was suffering.
Rain began to fall slowly, flushing the earth.Tree just fell silent resignedly swinging up and down hit by a grain of rain water that fell from the sky. His gurgling makes Bram's heart more slashed.
Aiyra's now wet photo appears to smile thinly, she looks so beautiful with a face that is still very fresh, pink lips, cotton cheek skin and eyebrows that are like ants.
Goodbye tough little woman, so strong you face the world, but cannot resist the will of God.
Enough of the people in the world to hurt you, return to your creator, now be happy there, sleep peacefully, Aiyra.
