Zalea was calmer now, Edgar wiped the tears of his wife using his palm. Zalea set her breath so that the tightness in her chest reduced, Edgar thrust a glass of water at Zalea which she immediately swallowed until it ran out.
"Take care of mom, don't complicate the pace. We're still part of your family here, there's nothing different. You must remain strong in the face of reality, the bitter sweetness of life God has measured for every creature. You still have Nathan who needs your support, no other words sincerely though difficult, because no matter how much you try to make your mother return it will be in vain because the owner has taken her due." said Edgar.
"I want to see Mom, at least this is for the last time." pinta Zalea.
"Well, I'll drive you" said Edgar.
Edgar helped Zalea stand up from her seat, he led Zalea out of her room. As soon as the door opened Zalea could see the crowds of the people who were teaching, her focus was diverted to see her younger brother sitting praying for her late mother beside him. Before he stepped back his legs, Zalea let out a long sigh. Edgar rubbed Zalea's shoulder to give her strength, with a confident step Zalea walked closer to her mother's body. He sat down next to his mother, opening the covering cloth that covered his stiffened body. Zalea rubbed the face that always made her calm, the protector, the solace when she was crushed. His tears seemed to run out, in his kiss the face of his beloved mother for the last time even he put his b*b*r on Naraya's cheek with a long time. Feeling that enough was enough, he again closed the cloth, Zalea slowly retreated back to pray for her mother.
Since the family members of Naraya sudha gathered, Naraya was put in a coffin to be sholatan.
A few minutes later.
Everyone is walking to Naraya's final resting place, with Zalea and Nathan holding figurines and flowers for his mother. The funeral process went well, Zalea sprinkled flowers on a mound of earth accompanied by her cries. Unlike Nathan, he is more stoic than expected, no matter what makes him stoic the others are curious.

All family members returned to the house of Naraya, the house that was once crowded with mourners was now very lonely. Zalea sat staring blankly in front, she made no sound or cried anymore.
"Lea, don't daydream." Adel scolded.
Zalea's daydream was immediately dissolved when she heard Adel's voice, she looked at Adel who was staring at him.
"If you daydream for so many years it won't change everything, crying may. But if the drag is not good, not only you are losing, we also feel a very deep loss" said Adel.
"Yes, sister, I will get used to being without a mother, yes even if it is heavy" said Zalea.
"Thank you brother." said Zalea.
"Ed, take Leah to rest in her room." said Indah.
"Good mom." said Edgar.
Edgar brought Zalea into his room, and this time Edgar saw Zalea as fragile as this.
"Rest, I'll wake up as soon as the class starts" said Edgar.
"Thank you," said Zalea.
"I'll be out for a minute, if you need anything just call me" Edgar said.
Zalea nodded her head in response, Edgar enveloped Zalea's body before she came out of her room. Zalea slowly closed her eyes that were sore from crying for too long, Edgar closed the door of his room slowly so as not to disturb Zalea.
In another room.
In front of other people may look stoic Nathan, but if in his own room he cries hugging a photo of his mother.
"Mom, Nathan promised success. Nathan wants to be a doctor, in order to be able to treat many people, pray Nathan from up there ma'am." Nathan murmured.
A few minutes later.
Nathan's cries slowly subsided, his eyes closed and exploring his dreamland. The most painful longing in the world is, longing for the most precious person in our lives but not being able to embrace him in real terms, can only be expressed with words and also a thread of prayer.
