THE DASHING MAN LEFT (PART 5)
In a short time
I've taken care of everything for Dad's funeral, this spacious house
it's become so crowded because it's filled with people I don't recognize. Within
in this short time there were many people crying over my father's death.
I really want to tell them all to stop
his tears, because my father's heart would definitely hurt so much to see so many people
crying over his departure. But I knew it was impossible, because of my tears
it just kept flowing without me expecting it.
I look around me, there's usually my bidadar
next to me, but this time where is he? Where did you go Zulfa? When I'm not
powerless I desperately need his shoulder to lean on, I need a caress
it's the subtlety that makes me comfortable, but I don't know where she is either.
The moment I realized that my mother had fainted, she must have
so fragile right now, I have to be by his side. I walk into the house
by pushing slowly the people who cost me my way.
Move you guys, I gotta
quickly, Mother must need me very much at this time, I said in my heart while
walk.
I looked for him inside the house, I went into the room
where she slept with Dad last night, I saw my sister Rudy hugging Mom
tightly while dripping her tears that she could not possibly hold
any more. Mother screamed bitterly, she was conscious of her stupor, but my heart
it hurts to see him like this. I hugged him tightly, though,
I also hugged my sister.
They are the most precious legacy Dad left behind
to me, I will not let them cry bitterly like this. I
hugging the two of them firmly and gallantly while trying to stop them
my tears are flowing non-stop.
I saw my surroundings looking at me
calming my father's two legacies, I saw Papa hugging Mama
and Zulfa, she looked at me with pride. The first time I saw it too
he let out his tears.
Long we dissolved in the hustle and bustle that our shackles
in this room, until my mother stopped screaming and my sister stopped crying.
They hugged me tightly, Mother rubbing the tears that flowed down my cheeks. And
she tried to smile at me, and stroked my head and my sister.
Then he stood up firmly, and stroked my back
and Rudy who was sitting looked at him in awe. He just screamed
full of pain and does not need to take much time, now he can return
being a tough woman as usual.
“Come boy, we should
taking care of your father's body, he'll want to be put to bed in his new home soon.”
“We have to be right away
bathe her, so you can salute your father with thousands of humans
present,” he said to me.
We both nodded.
In spite of
I don't know what you're saying there are thousands present, I
just keep reading him. There are a lot of people out there
arriving, even all of Dad's relatives can be present in a short time,
although they come from outside the city, even outside this Sumatran island. And
there must be more on the way here.
I stood up first, and helped Rudy to
standing up straight, stroking his head, I forgot when I last did
my duty as a brother to her, but this time I felt very warm and hugging
My sister's.
“I'm sorry Rudy”
ogre.
He just kept his head on my shoulder.
I saw the whole room smiling at us, and Mom
the most happy to see both of us.
“Come, we'll take her
gallantly,” take me to him.
He nodded and wiped his tears
We walked out of the room, my son this time
come towards me and hug me from the side. I smiled at him and
she wiped her many tears out.
We all went to the Great Mosque in the city
this is a large and beautiful mosque, but still unable to accommodate the whole
the humans present, I was amazed to see all present, who are these people? What
what has my father done to them? Why are they willing to come
my father's death, they're willing to be hot and crowded because it's not enough
this mosque accommodates everything, they were forced to go outside with a tarp
developed.
And I see a lot of people wearing white with
smiling at me. Why are you wearing white? While everyone
wearing black, I said in my heart.
Subsequent to
Papa kept his promise to Dad to bathe his body. Then Dad's body
even being infused with a clean and holy white cloth like my father's smile that is not lost
from his face since he breathed his last breath in the dock.
Before
Prayer Bodies, we also pray Dzuhur first with led by
The high priest of the mosque is finished.
Corpus
Father was transferred to the priest to be led astray, this time I will be the one
the priest, therefore, has promised us from the time I graduated from Pondok Pesantren.
Dad, and Mom would be very happy if I were the priest when I was sholling
their bodies.
Before
that is, I spoke first using the mic that was in the mosque, I
say a word and talk about whether the debt is
abandoned by my late father. If there is, we can finish it after
funeral later.
Congregation
very crowded, and I hope we can all pray solemnly. Subsequent to
making sure everything was conducive, I started the prayer according to the proper manner
taught by my religion.
Subsequent to
it's all over, and the bodies have been sholated, we've all brought Dad's body
to his final resting place next to his father and mother
beloved. Such a beautiful and peaceful village.
In the procession I didn't speak at all, I
I was still silent with Zulfa, who was always holding me from beside me.
Upon arriving in the village we were surprised by the people who
we were waiting for him with a bitter cry. A lot of them, they are very enthusiastic
once with my father. I don't know what my father did, why
a lot of people are willing to accompany my father to take him to the resort
his last.
I
even looking at those people in white clothes again, they could arrive first
come here, of course I'm surprised. But I don't really care about it.
We walked through my father's corpse toward the
his grave. Me, Rudy, Papa, and Dad's aide came down to put Dad's body down
go to his new house, then close it with boards one by one. And we
come aboard. Zulfa gave us a handkerchief to clean our hands
Some officers began to hoard the land to bury it
my father's corpse. Hugging Mom and Rudy, we saw Dad's dead body
it began to be covered by the ground. I felt Mom's body start to shake because
the crying came out again, Rudy did too. I just stroked the shoulders of the two of them.
Now my father's body has been buried with holy land that will warm him.
Done Dad's funeral. A little while ago we were in place
father's final resting. Until one by one the people disbanded and
we decided to walk back home.
Arriving at home we prepare everything for Ta’ziah
first tonight. I saw some of Dad's other relatives start to arrive
om Ali was no exception my father's best friend who was loyal to his wife.
just arrived from their trip from Jakarta here. They met me then
go see Mom who is sitting on the guest sofa with Rudy and the others.
I smoked my cigarette with Zulfa
accompany me. I am very lucky to have an angel who always accompanies me.
About half an hour here, I suddenly saw
some people I know are walking towards our collar. They are my friends
Rojali, Dewi and Ayu are also part of us now.
“Sorry we are late,”
rojali said to me.
“Nothing, cave already
really look at you all on coming,” reply me relaxed with a smile.
We used to shake hands with each other, not usually
I shake hands with my friends, but that's okay because
his condition allows. Zulfa and Ayu embraced. Of course because
Zulfa hadn't seen Ayu in a long time and she hadn't left either
I was busy because I was beside me.
We talked to each other, and I told them moments
my father's last one before he died, to all three of them. It makes the Goddess
and Ayu cried listening to him, while the one magical human was just
bowed holding back her cries while holding my shoulder, then asked for one rod
my cigarette.
“I forgot to buy, I asked
satulah,” her door to me.
“Ga shy what manager cafe
Ask,” reply me while giving my cigarette to him.
“Yeee. Nothing the Manager time
ask the same owner,” said Dewi who actually sewot.
“That bag, tumben your time
defend me,” connect Rojali.
“Cua rafters equals you,
dibully mulu,” reply Goddess while laughing.
I laughed too, My friends are very
good at controlling the atmosphere.
“Yang you mean owner
who is Wi?” ask Zulfa wonder.
I just kept quiet to see my wife. I just remembered that
I've never told him about the cafe.
“Yaa your husband is Fa,
how the hell it just do not know,” replied Dewi relaxed.
I stared at the goddess, then at Zulfa
who approached me with a threatening look.
“What else are you
hide from me?” tanyanya was upset with me.
“Hahaha Goddess, you're a moron
times indeed,” said Rojali laughing.
And the Goddess was silent with wonder.
“Please Zulfa, no
angry at me at a time like this,” I said begging him.
“OK I won't be angry.
But…
He cut off his words, I was astonished and waited
continuance.
“After I knew my husband
an accomplished Entrepreneur, I want you to take us on vacation after we get home
to Jakarta,” continued with a cynical smile.
“Well, that's a great idea, already
long time I ain't vacation, in the rodi keep me the same he's this” Rojali chimed.
I
just looking at him became annoyed.
I certainly don't mind taking a vacation with Zulfa,
but not for the three of them, these two people would definitely ruin the atmosphere
my vacation later, and Ayu also must have the same character traits as
them both.
“Zulf—”
“I'd be mad if you
disobeying him,” cut off Zulfa threatening me while turning his face away.
I really can't stand to see my wife behave
it's like this, so I'll just follow it.
“OK, alright,” I replied
annoyed.
“Hahaha is dong,”
he replied while touching my body.
“But the Fa, if vacation,
we have to bring home a souvenir, right, that's how?” ask goddess
I know what that question means.
“Yes, why should we
spending money in front of this rich man,” said Zulfa teasing me.
“Asiiiiikkk,” reply
the three of them are compact.
“Keep the three of us to sleep
where's dong tonight?” tanya Ayu followed.
I looked at him unexpectedly, I already had a hunch
that he must have had the same character as these two freaks.
“Lu ain't see? This page
it is wide, ntar cave love tiker deh,” I replied casually.
“Nugyyyyyy” reprimand Zulfa
menacingly.
“Hehehe, yesaa.”
The three of them laughed at me.
“Ntar lu bawa mereka ke
hotel aja, you bring the money, right?” I asked Rojali
“Yes I brought,” answered
pleased with his disgusting smile.
“Pay use it, and
stop that disgusting smile of yours,” I'm upset.
And they all laughed.
After their presence they managed to treat a little lara
in my heart, I also began to tell stories with Rojali and Dewi about how work
there, while Zulfa told Ayu. And my bidadar is
his own troubles explained everything between me and him to his best friend.
After speaking, we all
lunch at home even though it was already afternoon, and then they returned
their respective hotels, as well as my friends who participated
go to find the hotel where they stayed for a few days.
