Eser turned towards the source of the voice and the owner of the hand that was still on his shoulder. A beautiful woman, about the same age as Mutia. Eser tried to remember. The woman's face was like no stranger in her mind. He felt like he had seen the figure now standing right beside him. But I don't know where.
"We've never met, but I know you very well. I know all about you, son," said the woman, as if she knew what was going through her interlocutor's mind.
Eser lowered the woman's hand from her shoulder politely. Now he looked at the figure of a woman who claimed to understand him very well. Eser looked at the woman beside him from the tip of the foot to the tip of the head.
"Mother will explain later, after Sevket's funeral procession is over. I'm so sorry for the passing of your papi. He loves you very much, son. More than his love for anyone. You have a chance to pay your last respects to your papa without having to hide like this. Why are you standing here? What the hell are you thinking? Don't make a stupid decision if it's about Jules."
Eser could not hide his surprise when the name was called. The name of someone who kept contacting him and put some pressure that made him gamang want to stay beside Gendis.
"Don't pawn yourself to someone you haven't even met, and don't make a pact with Jules. Swearing in the name of God alone is denied lightly, especially only with fellow humans. Let alone heart, eyes he has not. He can't see anyone but himself."
The woman gave a smile that was hard to interpret. Eser is getting curious. But the mysterious woman ignores Eser's curiosity. He calmly wore black glasses that had just been taken from the bag he was carrying.
"Who's Mother? You'll know later. I'll be waiting for you at Sevket's grave. Your father will be buried in the Emeral Hills, won't he? But you can only show up when no one knows you." The woman stopped speaking for a moment.
"Es, your place is right. Here's your family. Don't fall into Jules' trap. As long as you don't see him, he won't touch you" he added.
Eser was about to respond to the figure's statement, but he expressed his intention. The woman turned over and walked away from Eser who was still in her place. He deliberately did not catch up, as there was still time after the funeral to talk further. Eser hopes, will get things that can enlighten him about the past story that is still gray.
Meanwhile, Sevket's body is now in an ambulance that has moved towards the shelter. Gendis and Ozge accompanied their papi there. Mutia was riding in another car.
"So, have you tried to contact Eser?" Ozge asked again.
Gendis just shook her head softly. The woman could not think clearly. Various flavors that are raging in the chest, do not want to be expressed through words.
"Beg, cry if you want to cry. Do not shut up and hold back. Don't keep your wounds alone. Who are you punishing?"
"But rest in peace. Gendis sincere if the reality should be like this. Gendis promises to take Eser to papi. If not now, maybe later, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Gendis Promise, Pi ... Papi don't cry."
A drop of clear grain returned dripping from the corner of Sevket's eye. Hard to believe, but it happens. His departure was indeed too sudden and still left a question. The Sevket affair is not yet over.
"No soul is truly dead, they are simply detached from its body. The soul is back to life in eternity. Together with the giver and the owner of the spirit" said Gendis.
Ozge closed his eyes for a moment. Sesal was in his mind. So many misunderstandings and quarrels were going on between him and Sevket. No regrets, haga regrets. At the end of his life, Sevket's relationship with his children could almost be said to be problematic.
Arriving at the place of residence, Sevket's body was immediately taken care of in a manner in accordance with his faith. Jia and the twins were also present. Not much came, because Ozge deliberately did not make an announcement to the media. But still, the VVIP room was almost full of church congregations where usually Sevket do regular worship on Sundays. They were deliberately brought in to pray for Sevket, and provide comfort to the families left behind.
Sevket is now in a crate made of real teak wood. The man held up a snow-white tuxedo suit. The procession of the casket lid will be done, the family is standing next to the coffin exactly.
Father gave a little reminder of the coming of death before the Sevket coffin was completely closed. "GOD is my shepherd, there will be no lack of me. He lays me down in the green pasture, He leads me to the calm waters; He refreshes my soul. He led me on the right path because of His name. Even though I walk in the valley of darkness, I fear no danger, for You are with me; thy rod and Thy rod, that comforts me." (Psalm 23:1-4)"
Mutia could not help sobbing, Jia continued to embrace her mother-in-law patiently while whispering encouraging words. Ozge holds both of the twins' shoulders. While Gendis especially listened to every word spoken from Romo.
Eser who slipped among the congregation kept his head down until his chin touched his chest. It's not that he doesn't want to pay his last respects to Sevket more properly, but his little heart says don't. There was something holding him back from doing that intention.
In addition to Eser, the woman who met him also mingled with the congregation. However, he was not alone, next to him was a man like Sevket. The man who made the woman named Rose was no longer able to wince. An anxious aura now clearly emanated from his face.
Sevket's coffin was perfectly sealed. The old man's handsome face could now only be seen in his memories and memories.
After the entire prayer session was over, the casket was moved into a black metallic Toyota Alphard. Ozge and Gendis remained faithful to accompany Sevket's body. The two lifeless boys got into a modified car like an ambulance.
"I'm sorry, Mhi. Maybe I'm a coward. Sorry for letting you through this grief alone." Eser monologues in his heart while stepping foot into the parking lot of his car.
