We Are Different But We Are One
Chapter 49 The Cry of Anthony
Antonius was silent, he crouched holding the tombstone of his father and also his mother. Antony's parents were buried next to his brother's grave.
"Dad... mother... Why leave so soon? How is Antonius? Who is Antonius? Who's wearing Antonius' school dress?" muttered Antonius.
"Antonne... Patient Anthony yes, must be strong!" said Sarah.
"Yes thanks to Sar" answered Antony.
Everything went away because it was getting darker, only Antonius, Astrid, and Kevin were still at the funeral.
"Antonius. It's getting dark" Astrid asked.
"Astrid go back, Antony still wants to be here" replied Antonius without hesitation.
"But deck...,"
"It's okay Ast! bang Kevin's... Brother wait in the car alone, Antonius will return himself to the car," pinta Antonius.
"But the deck..," said Kevin cut off.
"Udah Vin, we'll just wait there" Astrid asked.
According to Kevin, they both left Antony alone in the tomb of his father, mother and sister.
"Vin. I know that I'm not a good brother to Antonius. But one thing I know for sure, when Antonius asked for time alone, you should never argue. Just love space for him, I know this from his late father and mother, too" Astrid recalls.
"Yes Ast,"
Kevin's heart was full of worries about Antony's situation. Kevin did not expect that Antonius would be left behind under these circumstances. Kevin just remembered that this was the second time Antonius did not cry. The first of Antonius' parents once told him that Anthony did not cry when his brother died. The second is happening right now. When his parents died, not a single tear came out of Antony's eyes.
Kevin was really worried about Antonius' mental state. Antony is not a typical child
who can tell everything and cry easily.
"Antonne... I hope you can get through all this, "inner Kevin.

At the funeral
"Father.. mother. adekk" call Antony gentle.
Antony sat down, hugged his father's cross and cried.
"Dad... mother... Why did you leave Antonius? Hiks... Why leave so soon? Antonius lamented. If Antonius hadn't gone, I wouldn't have thought I would!" Hix...
Antony wept loudly, the darker the day, the more reluctantly Antony left the final resting place of his parents.
"Father same mother why go Antonius? Hiks... After this Antonius should how? Hix... There's no more reason Antony should live. Hicks..."
Kevin and Astrid are worried more and more, the day is getting darker, the sun is slowly setting, but Antonius has not returned yet. Kevin immediately followed Antonius to the funeral. Kevin was stunned to see Antonius cry.
Antonius... crying?" surprised Kevin.
"Well, he's still a kid. No matter how strong he is, how many people say that he is a grown child, there must be a time when they cry when they get to the lowest point," said Kevin.
Kevin walked up to Antonius, putting the jacket he had brought from the car onto Antonius' back. Antonius was surprised, but Antonius had not yet turned to look, Kevin first embraced it.
"Don't cry anymore.There is still a brother here, there is Astrid's sister too, the mother is equally papa, there are friends too, don't make the same father mother tormented because of your crying. They'd rather have your laugh than your tears" Kevin said calmly.
"Hiks..dad..mom"
Kevin embraced it, he really wanted to take Antonius away from all this suffering. He could not see Anthony crying anymore.
"Let's go home.we pray with God, we pray for father and mother, may they be given the most comfortable place at his side," said Kevin.
"Hiks..."
"Don't cry at them again. Now the same mother's father needs prayers from his godly son" Kevin explained.
Antonius began to calm down, Kevin's words were able to make him calmer. Kevin was really wise, he spoke as if he were like his late father Antonius, which is what Antony had in mind at the moment.
"Let's go home.we pray well for them yes," asked Kevin.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
