" Lili" Shouted Hendra.
Now her tears are flowing.
While in front of the door, Mr. Sidal became a silent witness to the conversation between brother and sister for the last time.
Flashback off*
That day, a day you will never forget. On that day all of Dad's happiness and half of Dad's life were gone along with the last breath Lili breathed. Dad told Mama all of Henly's behavior. But Mama defended him. Mama said Lili's death was just my rekayas. My mother accused me. He said I killed Lili. Mama also threatened if I told Papa. Then he would kill himself. My mother always chose love. He considers only Henly and Lalalah his sons. Me and Lili he abandoned. He never asked us about our news and circumstances. He never understood our feelings. We are like strangers. Papa is also home only once in two weeks. And by leaving Lili, Dad became his own said Hendra's father who had cried sobbing.
Uncle, don't say that. Aunt Lili would definitely not like to see uncle crying like this. Aunty will be sad up there Skandy said.
That's right Timpal Tapki.
While Tipka, his eye pelukan is filled with water that is ready to slide at any time. And to hide it, he turned his face away. But accidentally, his eyes caught a paper-like object behind the picture frame.
Tipka took the paper which turned out to be an envelope. He opened it and found a necklace that had the inscription Hendra Lili. It was tucked into a paper that read Happy Birthday to my brother.
Father said Tipka while offering the necklace and paper.
Hendra's father received the necklace. After reading the inscription in the middle of the necklace, Hendra's father wore the necklace. Then he picked it up and read the paper.
This must be the gift he should have given Dad's birthday. A week after Lili died, it was my birthday. And Lili always prepared her card a month before the day said Hendra's father who returned to tears.
Dad, don't cry Pinta Tipka while wiping out Hendra's tears.
Uncle don't be sad anymore. Forgive all my past mistakes, Skandy said.
Don't apologize, son. It's not your fault Hendra's father said.
Don't look back. Step ahead. Don't dwell on the past anymore. Create a happy future Tipka advises.
Hearing what you said, I felt that it was not Tipka who spoke but Lili, Hendra's father said.
You can think of me as Aunt Lili. If you feel comfortable, I'll be ready to say Tipka.
Don't be sad anymore. Dad still has me, Mommy, Tapki, and Skandy. We are family. And families are always supportive in times of joy and sorrow. We won't leave Dad, in time of grief. But we will always accompany Father Tipka said confidently.
You are indeed the pride of Father said Father Hendra while stretching his hands.
Tapki, Tipka, and Skandy hug Hendra's father, followed by Mother Tasya.

Family is not just a word. But family has a great meaning. Family is where the people who are in it are always together, in joy or sorrow. A family is a person who always forgives his family's mistakes before being asked. Be a place to pour out his complaints.
And remember, how far you are with your family. You will surely unite, become a whole family.
So from the story, END🌹🌹🌹
