THE MAN LEFT (PART 3)



I slept for a long time, I


I woke up when Zulfa woke me up.


“Wake up, take a shower, this


it's late afternoon,” tell it.


            I hugged him sitting next to me.


“Let go of me Nugy,” he said


while releasing my hand from his waist.


“I want to hug you.”


“I don't like being hugged


by a slovenly man,” he said annoyed


“Your own fault.”


“Why be my”


protestations


“You shower not to take


me,” I said in a seductive tone


“Don't dream.”


“Hahaha, where's my towel,”


I said while standing.


            He gave me a towel, and I went straight


I went to the bathroom to clean my body.


            When I came out of the bathroom, I saw Zulfa


tying his hair. Looking at him with his hair out, it was


making me want to kiss her even more, I approached her and hugged her from


backside. He pushed me too.


“Wear your shirt Nugy,” he said


turning his face away from me.


            He always couldn't bear to see my muscular body,


he was always ashamed to see it


“Why don't you look at me,”


godaku's.


“Already use it,”


tell her shyly.


            I pulled him so he sat looking at me.


“You can't stand to see


my body? Or did you not expect a man like me to have muscles like this?”


ask me to tease him.


            She just kept quiet with a reddened expression, I


he decided to keep teasing her.


“Zulfaa, you'll be more


surprised to see what is behind my towel,” connect me more and more


teasing him.


“Nugy, you're terrible,” he said


pushed me.


Him


stand up and take my clothes and give them to me.


            I just laughed looking at my side, I really liked it


teasing her as she looks even more adorable with her face


reddened when I'm teased.


            After I put my clothes on, we went downstairs to


gathered together, I saw that there was Om Zul Aunt Yuni's husband in the guest room


sitting with Dad, Mom, Aunt Yuni and Aunt Iida.


“Nugy, come here son,”


call Mother.


            Zulfa and I joined them, and we


he sat next to Aunt Ida.


“That's my son-in-law,” Dad


he pointed to Zulfa with pride.


            Om Zul was amazed to see Zulfa sitting down


beside me.


Zulfas


just nodded while throwing a smile at Om Zul, and was instantly reciprocated by him.


“She's beautiful isn't?” say Father


proudly.


“As you


say, she is very beautiful, very suitable with your dashing son,” said Om Zul


commended us.


            Then he looked at me who was still silent.


“I heard


your company is on the rise Nugy,” he continued praising me.


“No Om, we still


trying to get ahead,” I replied casually


“Hahaha, I really like it


with mu.”


            I've never had much conversation with Om Zul, but I


know he's a good guy, even though he's older but he's very respectful


to my father, even he once went down directly to help my father when the


his candidacy to be a Political Elite he's a wilderness.


“Then how about


Your Forest Land?” ask me again.


            I just fell silent, and looked at everyone in the room


the guest of this house, then my gaze stopped on my father.


“After a while he will


losing one of its inhabitants,” I replied flat full of resignation.


            Everyone just listened to my words, of course


they understand I mean Dad. The wilderness will lose its only


a very important person to me, even to all of us.


            Unlike the others, I smiled at you


my direction. It's not Dad if he can be silent fixated on hearing someone who


insinuate him.


“The missing occupant


it will go towards its new form, and one of its inhabitants is left behind


it will transform the forest filled with green plants that calm the soul


around him,” he said to me then smiled.


“I don't need if


indeed the forest will be green and soothing, I only need residents


it remains by my side in the form of physical, and not spirit even name,” reply me.


Then


I got out of my seat and left with Zulfa


with me.


            I don't care about that room after me


leaving them behind, why the moment I realized death was going to pick up my father,


I refused to be abandoned by him.


            I went with Zulfa to drive the car I borrowed


to go somewhere, where we could see the sunset


very lovely.


            I parked the car in the hotel yard nearby


it was, and we walked to the end of the pier near the hotel.


We saw a lot of people taking a shower that afternoon, young people throwing at each other


everyone laughs, and there are teenagers who are busy with their lovers, but there are those who


I was washed away when I saw him, a child swimming


wearing a lifeboat while being held by his father.


            I remember when I was a kid, where I was


just like the little boy, my father held my hand as if afraid


I was lost in the waves, even though they were not dangerous at all. I


realize that time will never come back again, not because I've grown up,


but because of that man who will no longer exist in this world.


            Amidst the sunshine that will vanish into the earth I leaned


my head knew my bidadar while tightly holding his hand, and he stroked


my head was soft, he always knew what to do when I was inside


fragile conditions like this.


“You saw the boy,” I said


pointing at the child I was referring to.


“Iyaa, I saw it,”


answer gently.


“I used to have


apparently, floating fearlessly even though I don't know how to swim, but I


sure the guy won't let me drift,” I said grudgingly while holding back


my tears.


“Cini. Precisely that guy


who will be washed away by the destiny that holds him back.”.


            I lifted my head and looked at my wife.


“Can I


make him feel less afraid of Zulfa?” I asked with a witty.


            I didn't realize I was shedding tears, I wasn't strong


withstanding this sorrow, my heart aches at destiny, and my heart hurts at you


god, why so soon you called my father.


“I've even been


hating that guy, even hurting him when I didn't know he was


is holding back the pain..”.


“And after me


knowing it, it was precisely the pain I got..”


“I should what Zulfa?”


I


powerless to hold my tears. I let him flow hard.just


my bidadar knows.


Then


she stroked my face gently while smiling at me.


“You don't have to do


whatever Nugy is, your father is so proud of you, that you can fulfill everything


his desire at this time. I know for a fact that he feels good about all this..”.


“What do you want him to


disappointed when he saw his son blaming himself?”


            I shook my head slowly.


“Do you want more


she was miserable when she had to leave you in such a fragile state?”


ask her again.


            I shook my head again


“I just met your dad


Nugy, even though I don't know much, but I do know that your father


is a great person like you.”.


“My heart hurts Nugy, too,


seeing him with his condition. I just try harder, to strengthen


my husband..”


            I am stunned by every verse of the words he spoke


to me.


“So, I didn't ask


anything from you..”


“I just want us


can deliver it sincerely and decorated with a sincere smile, though


sadness and tears keep flowing.”


            Each of his words managed to get inside


my heart and stimulate my brain to accept everything. Very very words


soft and caresses that make me comfortable. I feel warm near her, I


finding the remaining amount of spirit in my heart. I thank you


to God for the fate that has brought me to the woman who is now


already my wife.


“Are you going to keep going


by my side Zulfa?” I looked at him.


“I'll keep with you,”


the answer.


            I looked at him seriously.


“I love you Zulfa,


when I first saw you I always thought of you, when I met you


coming back with you, my heart is so happy. And when I found out you were going with a guy


else, my heart hurts so much. And when I found out that guy could make you


comfortable to forget time, my heart is so hurt.”


“I'm jealous, I'm not


I've felt love before I met you, and I feel so


lucky to feel it for a woman like you.”.


I know that there will be no love other than you. I really am


love you so much Zulfa, my wife.”


            I said everything I thought about him, I


expressing it confidently, I don't have to put it off, because he


I need to know that I love him.


            I saw tears flowing from her beautiful eyes


then wet her smooth cheeks. I feel bad, did I hurt


her heart? Am I wrong to say it?


“I'm sorry if that


make you hurt, but you don't want to cry Zulfa,” I said slowly


rubbing her tears.


            He held my hand that was on his cheek.


“No Nugy, I don't


injured in the slightest, I just couldn't hold back my tears of joy


hearing the sentence that I have always wanted to know,” he said softly.


“Zulfa,” gently sweep.


“I love you a lot too


Nugy, my husband,” he said as he brought his face closer to me.


            We kissed for a long time, we were deep


warm and loving atmosphere. When the sunlight began to disappear swallowed


it was dark, and we knew that we loved each other


others.


            It was getting dark and we decided to go home


home, they must be waiting for us both.we drove the car and left


slowly moving towards the house.


“Zulfa” call me hesitate.


“What?” tanyanya.


“What I can already


did it tonight?”


“You can do it


when we reach your Belantar Forest later,” reply teases me.


“You always postpone Zulfa,”


pissed me.


“Hahaha if only you


sooner say it, maybe you've got it.”


“Should.”


“Sure, I don't want to


having sex with a man who does not love me,” reply tease while pinching


my cheek is right where he slapped me.


“It hurts Zulfa.”


“Hahaha, I'm sorry


honey, I slapped you earlier,” he replied while stroking my cheek.


            I smiled too, so glad he called me


dear.


            We both went inside the house and saw them


while eating, Zulfa and I joined for dinner


joint. I haven't eaten fresh fish in a long time. I saw Zulfa being enthusiastic


I feel the taste of this fish. The fish in this city are the most


fresh I taste. It is not wrong if this city is dubbed as the City of Fish.


            After eating I went to the back of the house


there's a swimming pool, as usual I took out my cigarette then


suck it. Smoking after eating is delicious.


“There's something I want


tell you,” Patricia's presence surprised me.


“Tell me,” reply


relax while smoking my cigarette.


“Your father does not want to


again treated, even he no longer wants to peel medical devices, inhibitor drugs


the pain no longer want to drink.”


            I just fell silent, actually upset to hear it, too,


but what else can I do, it's Dad's will, I think he wants


ending his life faster. I can't bear to see that father either


always withstanding the pain he suffered, and impressed forced to live with


help of those Tools. We just have to obey his will.


“We just follow the will


Dad,” I answered flat.


“You crazy Nugy, can be


she will ma—”


“He will indeed die,


and that's what he wants, so just let it go,” I said firmly cutting his words.


“You can't watch your dad


dead Nugy, you have no pity at all” he replied annoyed.


“What did you say?”


            He was afraid to see me.


“You assumed I wasn't


got heart?”


“IYYA?” continued


snapped it.


“Why silent?” much


again


            He can't answer anything.


“I will do


whatever it takes to heal my father if that's what he wants, I'll keep feeling like I don't


tega to him if that is his will..”


“But he is not at all


wanted it. Paterina!!! you've been taking care of her for a long time, have you ever


seeing him allow even one person to put compassion on him? You


answer me Patricia.”


            He was really unable to answer this time, he just


hanging to digest every verse of my words.


“Not one child


who would let his father suffer, and I'm just trying to make


I'm calm about all this, for my father who doesn't want to see children


her firstborn looks fragile in front of her.”.


            I was silent for a moment to calm myself.


“Patricia, thank you


you've been taking care of my father all this time, you know even more about my father's suffering


with his illness it ..”


“But Patricia, I'm over


suffering at a time when my father didn't expect any help from me. And


I suffered more when I found out everything. And I'm more


suffered when my father was ready for his death, and I did not


ready with it..”.


“As a child, I just


want to obey death like what my father wants,” I said softly.


            I shut up for a moment while controlling my emotions, then


continuing again.


“Do you understand Patricia?


You better not say that in front of me again,” my connection firmly staring at him


full-out anger.


            He was just scared because of me.


            Then Zulfa came to calm me down and brought me in


go inside. Though I've calmed down with all this, but it's Patricia


made my emotions peak again.


            I'm with Zulfa sitting in the house, I suck


I smoked again standing up. Zulfa must have realized he couldn't ban anything


what I wanted to do right now, so she chose to sit sweetly with me to suck


my cigarette.


“We go tomorrow?”


ask him to me.


“I want a kemakam pilgrimage


your grandfather,” said Dad suddenly came with his wheelchair with Mom


helped him.


            We just looked at the two of them.


“OK,” I replied casually and


throwing cigarettes.


“Why did you throw it away?”


ask Dad to me


“I'm satisfied


sucking it,” reply me flat.


“Hahaha,” he laughs


minuscule.


            He came closer to both of us, and I sat down.


“Can you help me


to connect Papamu?” ask Zulfa.


Zulfas


nodding cheerfully.


            He smiled, and Zulfa opened his phone


the one who never got out of his hand, then called Papa.


“Hallo Pa,” map


to papa.


            Those of us who don't know what they're talking about, just


just look.


“Dad wants to talk to Papa,”


continued.


Then


give the phone to Dad.


“Loudspeaker is all


son,” tell Mom with a smile.


“Hallo” says Father


“Hahaha what are you


call me, you miss?” papa's reply is across there.


            Papa does have a friendly nature, very easily familiar


with people, just like my father.


“Iyaa, it looks like I've


looking at the end of my life.”


            We all fell silent.


“So, can you come


here?” ask again.


            Papa was silent across there.


“I want my best friend


who bathes me,” continued Dad


            His words made me, Mother and Zulfa feel drifting in


ras sadly returned, I just fell silent resigned, it looks like Dad has realized that


his death will come soon. I saw Mom trying to hold back


her crying. He would definitely go alone to bring out all his tears.


“Ah what are you saying,


you'll keep staying hid—”


“Please,” Father


cutting papa's words with a raucous tone.


            We were all silent, including Papa who was also silent


across there.


“Alright, tomorrow morning I


already there with my wife,” Papa replied reassuring Dad.


“Thank you.”


“Sama-sama.”


Then


the phone is dead.


“Let's sleep, tomorrow


early in the morning we have to go there, I don't want to be late,” he said


smiling at both of us.


            We entered the house and walked into our room


respectively. I can't seem to sleep tonight, but Zulfa's straight


hugged me.


“Sleep,” he said


gentler.


            I returned his embrace, so


we also fell asleep.
