ZAHRA AKBAR'S

Not An End

It has been three days since the fateful accident occurred, Fachri has not been aware as well. Clara was always there, and she never even went home.

Sometimes Anin also comes to accompany her best friend. Unable to see Clara's state of grief, Anin contacted Samuel. Tell me about what happened with Fachri.

"Shobahul khoir Fachri!" clara said as she opened the window of the room. Give permission for sunlight to enter. Shining some of Fachri's face still sleeping soundly.

"Look Fachri! This morning was beautiful." Clara breathed in the cold morning air. "The sun shines brightly after a night of rain. Don't you miss me?" She walked where her husband lay. Gently peeked a pale forehead in front of him.

"Cepet wake you Ri! Kasian Non Clara, no kasian you just her skinny dry thinking her husband who is not awake," said Randi beside Fachri. She just bought breakfast for him and Clara.

"Lebay lo Rand. I'm still a gini buger. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no."

"Within, let's have breakfast first to be healthier. Ntar if Fachri wakes up we thump together. At home is very mouthful sleep," said Randi who had sat down while opening his breakfast. Clara also ate with Randi.

After breakfast, Clara and Randi take a position beside the bed while looking at an old photo of Fachri.

They both throw jokes at each other looking at Fachri's photo.

Now Clara was propping up her chin watching her husband. "Until when is Ri you're like this!" clara Mumbles. Then he leaned his head against the bed while playing his own hair.

Clara felt someone stroking her hair. He feels weird. "Rand, why are you holding my head?" ask Clara without changing her current position.

"Who is also a Non. I've been sitting here," replied Randi who turned out to be sitting on the sofa.

"Thrus in my head whose hand is dong Rand?"

"His hand is the devil Kali Non" said Randi.

Out of curiosity Clara raised her head. It was Fachri's hand. He was conscious of his coma.

Clara was so happy. He shed tears when he saw Fachri smiling at him.

"Still remember waking up turns out to be Ri," seduced Randi who was standing next to the bed.

"Call Revan's doctor, Rand!"

"Lax Non. Just press this. Very ribet!" Reluctantly, Randi pressed the caller button next to him.

Not long after, Revan's doctor came with the nurse.

Clara and Randi were asked to come out for a while. They also understand what Dr. Revan means.

Outside Clara was very happy, she contacted Salsa and her father. Steven immediately left the office to go to the hospital.

"Can we go to the doctor?" ask Clara.

"Yes you can come in" replied Dr. Revan.

Clara and Randi are coming in. Steven was invited by Revan to his room.

"I'm sorry Fachri!" Clara fell over to Fachri, who was still lying down.

"I'm also sorry to make you misunderstand me" said Fachri softly.

Clara took off her embrace. Wiping away the tears that flowed back.

Fachri took off his breathing apparatus and asked Randi to help him sit down.

Just now Fachri wanted to talk, from the entrance of his friends who immediately hugged him.

"Emang ye Fachri majnun yea. Very long sleep," said Reza heboh.

"I feel like I'm sleeping for a while, what's the length?" Fachri doesn't realize how long he hasn't been conscious.

"You were sleeping for 3 × 24 hours Ri. Look Clara! Until it gets tangled up think of you," said Hasan.

"If you don't wake Ri yes, I'm ready to answer her widow Clara" said Alam Ngasal.

"Have you!" Fachri threw the fruit at his next table at Nature. Although Fachri actually felt pain in his head, he tried to look okay. He pretended to be cheerful in front of everyone.

"Busyet! I've got to throw away from you" murmured Nature.

The sound of laughter began to sound. Clara unconsciously shed more tears. Afraid that this is just a trick of fate. He is afraid to enter the game of life that is getting deeper, getting into the hardest level.

Fachri felt more pain in his head. He asks all his friends out except for Clara and Randi.

"Why are you Ri?" clara asked worriedly to see Fachri holding her head. He recalled doctor Revan's saying that there was a blood clot in Fachri's brain.

Randi immediately helped Fachri back to lie down.

"Did your head hurt Ri?"

"It's okay Shafa, I hurt more when I saw you shed tears."

Clara immediately wiped her tears. "I won't cry anymore Fachri."

"Please promise me that you will be happy even without me beside you."

As much as possible Clara did not cry at Fachri's request.

"Step forward to your future. Continue your life Shafa. I want you to be happy with a much better man than me." Fachri's voice is getting weaker.

"Don't talk like that, Fachri! You must be healed, fight for me. Fight for Fachri's recovery." Clara could no longer hold back her tears.

Fachri also forced a smile amid the growing pain. "I've fought Shafa. And I haven't told you anything."

"I love you Shafa Fikriyatuz Zahra."

"I also love you very much Fachri Maulana Akbar." Clara kissed Fachri's forehead. Finally he heard the sentence directly from Fachri.

"Randy!" call Fachri. Randi is approaching.

"Please take care of Shafa Rand! You're his best friend. You guys have to take care of each other."

"It's my duty to look after Non Clara, Ri. Don't you worry!" Randi spoke while holding tightly Fachri's hand which started to cool. His eyes are also glazed.

"Shafa, hug me!" fachri pinta.

Clara hugged Fachri who was lying down. From Fachri's mouth came the phrase tawhid spoken softly. Then accompanied by a slow breath. Fachri's last breath.

Clara didn't hear a heartbeat there either. He lifted his head. Fachri had already closed his eyes peacefully.

Randi pressed the button to call the doctor.

Clara's body stepped back. I can't believe what he saw. Tears can no longer shed. His soul seemed to drift off somewhere. His soul is now like an arid meadow. It is like an uninhabited space. Fachri has left and will never return.

Everyone outside, shocked to see Steven and Dr. Revan running into Fachri's room. They also panicked and went in.

Doctet Revan shook his head after examining Fachri. A code that the man is gone.

Salsa's cry broke instantly. He hugged Clara who had been sculpting like a body without life. Not a single tear could come out. He did not want to make Fachri sick again when his tears flowed.

The others also rubbed each other's rough faces while saying the sentence istirja'.

At the same time, Anin came with Samuel and Thunder.

The three of them were stunned by the atmosphere in the room. Fachri's body was already covered by the nurse with a cloth.

Anin and Samuel embrace Clara after Salsa takes off her arms. And unconsciously he leaned on the chest field Randi from earlier was beside Clara.

"Lo don't ever feel alone Ra. I still have Samuel here" said Anin.

Clara did not answer. It remains silent and expressionless. His eyes are getting empty.

Thunder felt the pain of seeing Clara's grief. To this day, he still holds his love. But, never once did he expect there to be such a situation.

*****

And this is where Clara stood alone under the twilight sky that no longer showed orange color. Only the cloudiness continues to grow above.

"Let's go to Ra! It's raining soon" said the father.

"Daddy!" call Clara. He looked towards his father. "Did Clara know something? Don't Daddy want to be honest with Clara" he said later.

Steven took Clara to sit down. "I'm sorry Daddy Clara! Maybe Daddy was mean all along by hiding something from you."

"So it's true that Clara wasn't Daddy's real child as Max's uncle said at the time."

Seven nodded. Clara is no longer surprised because she has prepared mentally for the reality of her life.

"You are the son of Daddy's best friend. Your parents died in an accident. And he left you to Daddy. Also the company that Daddy's been taking care of."

Steven also told in detail since the beginning of his arrival as Clara. Until there is a person who blurted negative news to make his wife leave the house.

"So from now on wear the name given by your parents. Shafa Fikriyatuz Zahra's. It was also the name that Fachri said when Ijab qabul," Steven said.

Now Clara understands why Fachri likes to call her Shafa.

The sky that had been cloudy, had now spilled its rain. The darkening day left twilight and changed with night paintings decorated with increasingly hardened rain spots.

In the morning Clara went alone to the death of her parents who she had been with Fachri and her father. Then she came to her husband who was also in the same place.

"Assalamu'alaikum Fachri!" Clara sprinkled fresh flowers there. "You see me now, I'm not crying any more at your request. I try to keep going even though my support is gone. I will live with your love. You taught me to stand alone.

Now I am Shafa Fikriyatuz Zahra. The girl who is about to start her new life without a Fachri Maulana Akbar. The girl who will challenge the storm in the next life."

Clara stepped away with a blue scarf around her neck waving. Saying goodbye to the story of Zahra~Akbar.

Fachri's departure is not the end of Clara's life. But, a new beginning of life. He will write his own destiny story under the name SHAFA.

How can Shafa live his days without Fachri? Will he be like a carrot that becomes soft after boiling. Or like an egg that gets stronger after boiling, but also its resistance levels decrease. Or will he become like a coffee bean that scatters the fragrance after boiling?
