There is No Need for Love

Q2: Half my life is gone

The Lufti has completed all procedures for Natalia's body. Conclusion has also been taken, the bodies are buried in the residence of the Great, although this is a long question Lufti considering Natalia has a different belief with them, but Agung brushed it off. The Lufti resigned and followed all the instructions concluded by Agung.

All the family members also had no objections, after Risda was fully aware, all returned home accompanied by Natalia's body. In the house that waited there was only Widya, because widya did not know how the concept, he asked his teacher friend who was in the same religion as Natalia to prepare a funeral welcome.

Widya's colleagues were initially confused, but ended up doing what Widya asked after hearing an explanation of who died and who owned this house. A priest who was on the Widya telephon also came, the priest surnamed batak should not ask, because he knows well with Agung, knows where the Great house.

Mahdan called Haris dozens of times, but did not enter. That means Haris is on the plane, finally Mahdan just send a message, in the hope, get off the plane, Haris activate the phone, he can read Mahdan's message to go straight home, not to the hospital anymore.

Bodies have arrived, friends Natalia friends have also been there, all crying as soon as they see the body of Natalia, the song of praise immediately echoed in the house of Agung. At first many neighbors were astonished, but after knowing, all of them even threw praise towards the Great family.

The neighbors know how the life of this family is quite pious, all the children and daughter-in-law wear hijab. But their reverence for the besan is worthy of praise, what happens now in the house of Agung is a testament to their love for Natalia, all welcome the story, salute and be proud of the attitude taken by the Grand family.

“Why brought here, why not just in his house, will be different religion”. Ask the neighbors to the neighbors.

“Bu Lia lives alone, if there how to manage it. Doctor Meeta is made by him, Ms. Lia is Risda's mother, his wife Asrul. They love Bu Lia completely. Yes, the process should be with her religion Bu Lia, about what place the problem is”.

All are equal nodding of head. There are many neighbors who know the story about Risda and Natalia connecting the story, this makes everything go back to head nods and re-launch praise on the Great family, something that not necessarily everyone can do.

Haris who just got off the plane immediately activated his phone, Haris eyes widened to read Mahdan's message asking him directly to the house. This certainly raises a big question in Haris' heart, his suspicion immediately makes Haris' heart rate strengthen, Haris directly contacted Mahdan.

Just the size of the second Mahdan picked up the phone, not to mention Mahdan spoke, Haris already understood now. Hearing the singing from Mahdan's phone made Haris know what had happened, Haris immediately sat down.

“Uncle has arrived ?”.

Haris is sobbing. “Uncle still at Dan” airport.

“Okey .. okay .. Uncle just there, just wait, Mahdan pick up”.

Haris did not answer again, the phone was also disconnected. Mutia immediately gave the key to the car contact to Mahdan, Mutia heard Mahdan chat with Haris, Mahdan took the key and immediately headed for the car and immediately gased to the airport, Mahdan did not want anything to happen, Mahdan did not want to happen, then you better pick it up, it's not good to let Haris come alone.

Haris sobbed on the bench of the arrival waiting room. Haris did not care about the glance of many people who were surprised to see him crying alone at the airport. But Haris was not strong, he could not hold back his tears. Sorry why not come sooner, so you can still meet his sister.

But everything is useless, Natalia is gone. Now only his body remains. Haris was really hit, his life spirit immediately shrunk, this really makes Haris lose energy, all it feels empty, Haris also can not imagine how the condition of his daughter Risda.

Mahdan had arrived, he found Haris and pulled Haris' hand which stood weak, walking so slowly to reach the car. Mahdan was already convinced by this condition, it was also what made Mahdan insist on picking up. As soon as the two went up, Mahdan went straight into the gas.

“My whole life is gone Dan. Desire to live long so reduced”.

Mahdan. “Uncle still have Risda Brother, Bang Asrul, still have Dahrul, have me, Mutia, Reni, Iskandar, Farhan, Faridha, Tomy. Uncle also got Aditya and Arvia, Uncle's life should be long to see everything”.

Haris lowered his head and went back sobbing, but Haris also nodded slowly, what Mahdan said was completely true, he had that name, the name of the name that had filled his life, all this time, Haris is not only close to Asrul, but also others, only Farhan, Mahdan and Tomy who call him Uncle, while others are comfortable with the call of father.

“Bibi Dan”.

Mahdan. “Everything's too fast Uncle. Aunt Lia was taken to the hospital for fainting, Mutia and Mama had a conversation with Aunt when she regained consciousness for a while. But then drop again, until aunt go”.

“No previous info And ?”.

Mahdan. “No Uncle, two days ago, me and Mutia were still at Aunt Lia's house, healthy aunt alone, joking as usual. But there is something strange, and it's just Mahdan feel now”.

Haris glanced at it for a moment. “Why And ?”.

“Aunti said she wanted to sleep with Arvia, aunt said she missed Arvia and was upset why we didn't bring Arvia. Uncle knew earlier Arvia how ?”.

“Indeed Why And ?”.

Mahdan breathed heavily. “Arvia did not want to get out of the glass, she continued to look at Aunt Lia from afar. Arriving Arvia was crying, we all silenced, but Arvia really did not want to be silent. A moment later Doctor Hisham came out and said Auntie has gone”.

Haris looked stunned. “Via feels the passing of her grandmother ?”.

Mahdan nodded his head. “Mahdan sure, when Via cried, that's where aunt went”.

Haris shakes. “Arvia .. she is so close to her grandmother, Natalia is also very dear to Arvia, we all know it”.

Risda immediately hugged her father and back crying sobbed when Haris arrived, Haris was also unable to stem her crying, she did not expect her sister would leave so soon, Haris looked at Natalia's paled face, she said, there was nothing Haris could say, his heart was completely crushed, Haris hugged Dahrul and Aditya who came to his lap, continuing with his cries.

Last night Haris could not sleep, he continued to look at the face of his sister Natalia, Haris did not know whether during his life Natalia had felt more happy or more in the grievances. Haris can only make Natalia laugh as much as possible, but that for Haris is not at all comparable to 22 years of suffering with Risda.

Until the removal of the body and the burial is complete, Haris has not been able to reduce his suffering, this makes Haris stay in front of the tomb Natalia adjoining the grave of their mother, Margaretha. Haris sat down and continued to satisfy his cries, Haris' heart was completely broken to pieces.

Mahdan asked the others to go back first, so that Mahdan who was waiting for Haris finished with his cry. The others agreed and moved away from the funeral, Mahdan now sits not far beside Haris.

Mahdan was just silent, he tried to understand Haris's feelings, whatever it was, Mahdan sure it was very sick to lose the sister we love, let alone a model like this, where Haris had a dark story with his sister sebndiri, of course his pain is more scratching.

“Why not go home And ?”.

Mahdan. “Who's uncle will be ?”.

Haris shook his head. “Uncle can be alone Dan”.

Haris was silent, breathing deeply. Haris knows how Mahdan, this young lawyer is indeed the son-in-law of the Supreme closest to Haris, they often share and discuss, Haris got a lot of input from Mahdan and vice versa as well, Mahdan agrees a lot with Haris.

The atmosphere of the house really lost the festive aroma, Dahrul and Aditya even seemed to be overwhelmed by sadness, their habit of playing ball and playing war games such as losing interest, and their habits were not, both equally choose to sit contemplating beside Haris who is still battered with wounds.

All the same half ran towards the room Farhan heard Faridha who arrived crying loudly, Meeta and Mutia even collisions at the same door as the same rush, the same, Ariana immediately pale as she held the feet of her nephew who was very hot, Mutia immediately lifted Arvia and took her to her room followed by all who had come running.

Mahdan shook his head while holding Arvia's hot forehead, this was what Mahdan had feared, following the series of events of recent days, especially when Arvia who did not want to move from looking at Natalia, who was not looking at her, although it is a myth, but Mahdan is sure there is a connection with it, the inner Arvia may be injured, that makes this little princess Farhan a high fever.

Mutia is a pediatrician, so it is not a big problem to face something like this, Mutia remains calm because she always brings her equipment home, Mutia take care of it like this, so that when it happens like this, it happens like this, Mutia was not troubled to do any help.

“Kak, Via why Kak ?”. Faridha continued to cry.

Mutia stroked Faridha's shoulder. “Udah fret what, just relax, it's okay. Immediately down this Dha, do not even make Via so scared”.

Faridha nodded her head, but continued to stroke Arvia's forehead. His fear was really high, Faridha imagined the material of his college eyes about a child with high fever, Faridha's mind directly leads there, so his mind immediately chaotic, let alone Farhan invisible at all.

Everything was just as shook and chose to go out as Faridha put on a high-level manyun face once Farhan and Tomy appeared. Tomy who just arrived with Farhan did not even have time to touch Arvia, Tomy also turned around following Iskandar's hand.

“Do not disturb, there is a chance of Third World War”. Iskandar.

Tomy shook her head. “Abang just”.

Reni immediately pinched Iskandar's stomach which instantly grimaced, Meeta, Agung and Haris similarly shook their heads, but all three were the same as Asrul, Risda, Mahdan and Mutia who ended up laughing small, but they were all the same, it also makes sense what Iskandar said, let alone seeing how manyunful Faridha was when she saw Farhan's face.

Everyone else chose to sit back in the living room, right in front of Mutia, Reni and Tomy's room, all of whom could only wait for what happened, but it seems that all became quiet because there was no sound of any commotion from inside Mutia's room which is now only in Farhan, Faridha and Arvia of course.

Just a short distance of 20 minutes, all eyes looked towards Farhan who was now holding a sleeping Arvia, behind Farhan, Faridha stepped, Faridha's hand held Farhan's clothes, and Faridha's, both of them just walk around, not reprimanding anyone, both of them then disappear into their rooms, all looking at each other and the same smile.

Agung. “One is only 20 years old, the other is only 19 years old, already has a child. Fortunately it is still safe, there is no potential for world war III”. Agung shook his head again while patting the eel.

“Abang want them stomach ?, so Bang ?”. Fierce Meeta.

Agung. “Not so. It means salut too, young young so already can understand each other, do not want to fuss so”.

Meeta shook her head, but indeed what Agung said was a lot true, as young as it was, Farhan and Faridha were included in the category of adem anyem family, as big as Faridha, but never until angry, angry, Farhan could also compensate for his spoiled wife, since getting married, Farhan had indeed become much more mature than his age.

Meeta then looks at her son and daughter-in-law, Meeta is very grateful to have a good son and daughter-in-law, calm and does not like the commotion. The most mature of course Asrul and Mahdan, when in terms of age Mahdan is under Mutia, almost equal to Reni and Iskandar, but the mindset and style of Mahdan even balanced with Asrul.

Mahdan is very in accordance with Mutia who is also very calm in taking a stance, sometimes Meeta is aware, that Mutia's way in some ways is much calmer than him, not because Mutia is a child specialist, not because she is a child specialist, but it has been so since still Junior High, never rushed, able to manage emotions well.

Compared to the upside with Reni who wants to explode suddenly, easy emotions and can be tepancing. But Reni fell into the hands of Iskandar who is super cheerful, likes to joke and is ready to do anything, has high care, does not hesitate, it all makes Reni can be muted well.

“Kek. Grandma didn't come back again, where ?”.

Haris was stunned to hear Aditya's question. “Grandmother went away”.

All so slightly shook his head, no one thought Aditya suddenly asked so, but then all a thin smile with a fairly long waist as Dahrul came forward to give an explanation. Although Dahrul's explanation is not so complete, but it seems Aditya magut magut like understand.

Haris and Agung looked at each other and similarly smiled knot. Both are happy to see the style of Dahrul that gives an explanation, six-year-old son is able to answer the strange question his four-year-old sister made these two grandfathers sumringah, it's potential Dahrul, has the ability like his father, has the ability like his father, calm and clear to give answers.

Mahdan who had wanted to explain to Aditya now chose silence, just smile at Dahrul's explanation to his sister. Mahdan smiles because the same as the mind of his father-in-law, Mahdan finds Dahrul's advantages in this, Dahrul inherits his father's calmness and decisiveness.

Ariana stood up and stepped towards Farhan's room, Ariana wanted to know how her father Arvia was. But Ariana just peeked, immediately retreated and locked the door. Reni who saw Ariana did not go in nodding her head when Ariana looked at her.

“Why didn't Riana sign in?”.

Ariana shook. “Teletubies Kak”.

All the same laugh, understand what Ariana said, meaning that Farhan and Faridha were hugging. Meeta shook her head, stood up and confirmed, Meeta really shook her head. Arvia was still asleep, Faridha was sleeping facing Arvia, Farhan was sleeping too, Farhan was facing Arvia too, was behind Faridha, sleeping by hugging the wife from behind.

Reni stood up, but sat down again as Iskandar drew Reni's hand. “Adek to do ?”.

“You saw Arvia”.

Iskandar. “Ngapain ?”.

“Mau see aj”.

“Teletubies”.

“Aaan ?”. Reni scowled a little.

This time, the laughter was a little wider. Reni also did not leave, Meeta also sat back down. Ariana has gone out of the house with Dahrul and Aditya, no one knows where the three are, Ariana also did not ask for any keys, did not ask for car or motorcycle keys, so all are sure, Ariana also did not ask for any keys, all three remained in the compound of the house, perhaps to the garden.
