Ningsih is working hpnya in a state of silence already how many missed calls Zahirah.
After finishing work, Ningsih looked at her phone. Ningsih was shocked to see Zahirah's missed call.
Hurriedly Ningsih called Zahirah, the first call missed
"Thank you donk ra.." muttered Ningsih when the call was already the third time.
"Hello ningsih" replied Zahirah weakly
" What happened ra.." Ningsih's feeling was already uneasy to hear Zahirah's voice holding back the tagis
"mother Ning..mom Ning...mom has left" Zahirah's voice sounded choked.
Hearing that Zahirah's mother had left Ningsih had fallen to the floor, he closed his mouth not believing what he had heard.
" O Lord, why should it be like this, what You are planning in the life of Zahirah" said Ningsih
"Ra where are you now" asked Ningsih
"i'm still in the hospital, I'm waiting for my mother to be cleaned after it is buried " replied Zahirah
"Ok.ok. "
Arriving at Ningsih hospital, he was in front of Zahirah's room, his feelings were mixed.
Ningsih came in and saw the armor was sitting in a pensive sofa, no matter what he imagined, the situation should not be asked Zahirah like a person who lost his way. Ningsih had seen how Zahirah suffered when his father left, Zahirah also suffered until he went to the doctorate but now his mother is gone and now what will happen to Zahirah.
"Hey" said Ningsih softly
" Don't be like this please" said Ningsih when Zahirah did not greet her tears had fallen.
Hearing someone cry Zahirah turned his head to the side, he saw Ningsih with tears that had wet his cheeks.
Zahirah immediately hugged tightly Ningsih her tears spilled back. Ningsih returned Zahirah's embrace equally tightly.
"Ning mother..mom...mom.." That's all Zahirah can say.
"Ssht..ia Ra..sabar may be the best way for mothers so that mothers do not feel sick anymore" said Ningsih who is more rigid.
Zahirah just nodded her head, she still hugged Ningsih.

After the funeral was over Zahirah and Ningsih returned to Zahirah's house.
Ningsih had known Zahirah for a long time so she knew what Zahirah felt like she was fighting her trauma plus her father died and now her mother also died. Ningsih knew that Zahirah always blamed himself when the disaster happened to the people he loved and Ningsih also knew if left like this Zahirah would be like an undead.
Ningsih does not want it to happen to Zahirah so nngsih must be strong if he shows his sadness then Zahirah will blame himself again and again
" Ra.." call Ningsi
" Ra.." call Ningsih again but Zahirah does not answer
They were still in the guest room Zahirah, ningsih intended to ask what they wanted to eat but was not answered by the armour.
" Zahirah.." snapped Ningsih...
Zahirah turned towards Ningsih "iya Ning"
" What do you want to eat? " ask Ningsi
"I'm not hungry yet Ning, you're the one eating" replied Zahirah weakly
Ningsih could not help his emotions seeing the state of this kind of armor with wide steps approaching Zahirah. Ningsih holds Zahirah's shoulders so that Zahirah can stand when both stand
"Ra please you can't be like this, I know that this is very painful for you but you must be strong to live this life Ra.." said Ningsih weakly.
hearing the advice of his best friend Zahirah immediately realized "I'm fine Ning" Zahirah replied by forcing her smile
" You lied to Ra..Why you always cover your grief.I don't want to see you like this Ra ...please Ra continue your life you still have me you have to be strong for me " said Ningsih tears have fallen, he can not stand not to cry
"Alright..alright I must be strong " replied Zahirah quickly when he saw his friend was crying.
"Promise ! " said Ningsih
Listening to Zahirah's word of promise froze he didn't know if he could live a better life or not. Zahirah could not promise anything to himself and how could he promise something if he was not sure.
" Ra.
"forgive me Ningsih" said Zahirah weakly by lowering his head
" I thought you'd answer like that Ra. Well if you want to live like an undead do as you please but one thing you should know I'll be out of your life and never come back " ningsih said furiously
" Ning..I don't mean that I.I.m not.."
Zahirah bigung should he tell her that his trauma never fully healed but if he told her fear he would hurt his best friend
" You have not regarded me as your friend anymore, I am gone" said Ningsih.
Ningsih actually did not mean it with his words but he had to teach Zahirah not to waste his life.
