He Who Comes And He Who Went
“Several days if Grandpa wakes up, diw always asks about you.” Arkan explained Badri's recent attitude that worried Winsi so much, as well as his success in finding his mother's land. He told her while patting the child's head gently. It seemed like it was a habit that he would have a hard time removing every time he got close and spoke to the child, for sure he would gently pat his head.
Meanwhile, Runa who was still stunned finally spoke as well.
“So, did you really meet your Father?”
“Ya.” Winsi replied while looking at Arkan and Runa in turn. He was worried that the answer would disturb the suffering that was enveloping his family. Shouldn't talk about Basri in this moment because it sucks.
“Already, don't talk about the guy!” arkan said.
“Sorry,” says Runa slowly.
Not long after that, a group of doctors and nurses came out of the patient's room and immediately approached Arkan. They said some things about the cause of Badri's death medically and, not to forget, they apologized for the incident that had to be experienced.
Everything that the doctor said was understandable to Arkan because he had suspected long ago that this would happen, given the age and health of Badri which continues to decline every year.
In addition, the doctors also said that, they have done their best, but, fate said another. Do not forget they say words of condolence and condolences to the family left behind, sincerely then, greet Arkan before finally leaving.
After the doctors left, the caretakers came. They took Badri's body out of the treatment room to another part of the hospital, where the body would be cleaned and after that the patient's family brought the body back to the funeral home.
Such procedures for the return of deceased patients are actually not mandatory for the patient's family. They can bring the body home. However, this was done by Arkan because he wanted when he returned home later, the body was clean and ready for burial.
During the waiting process of returning Arkan's body continues to be busy with his cellphone to contact some business partners who have promises with him to cancel the appointment or cooperation agreement. He also contacted several people who would take care of the funeral, including informing local authorities about his father's death.
After all the procession was completed, Badri's body was brought back home, using a hearse. While the family members were in one car with Arkan.
Runa who is still not so recovered properly forced to come home, he did not want to survive in the hospital alone while his house became a funeral home. Inevitably he must be there and will forcefully allow it.
Actually Arkan does not want any problems with Runa's health. She was very afraid of losing her wife for the second time, especially now that the woman was pregnant.
In any case, the shadow of his wife who died of severe pain and how he continues to moan in pain, Arkan can still not forget.
Therefore, the sight of Runa lying weakly in the hospital ward, with an infusion needle attached to her hand, made her sad and unbearable. Because it all reminds me of past events, where he could not do anything until at the end Erlan's cage mother was gone.
It was late at night when the corpse arrived home, but, preparations to welcome the arrival of the corpse, the, it has been very well done by domestic assistants who already understand the tasks they have to do at the time like now.
Meanwhile, both Runa, Arkan and Winsi, rest for a while while waiting for the morning, when the body will be buried. However, the three men still could not close their eyes until they stayed awake in their room until the next day.
“Dad,” said Winsi so saw Arkan and Runa come out of her room that morning. The three of them were already in a tidy state in mourning clothes and headed for the living room, now they were sitting on long chairs near the coffin.
“Ya,” say Arkan flat.
“Didn't Dad contact Erlan?” winsy asked while looking at the phone screen.
“What's for?” ask Arkan.
“Ya, tell me Grandpa died.”
However, Arkan did not respond and instead snatched the phone from Winsi's hands violently, leaving the girl shocked. This was the first time the foster father had been rude to him when, before, he had always been gentle.
Winsi turned his gaze away from Arkan while hiding the dew that had been welling up in his eye, making his adoptive father realize if he was wrong. Then, he patted the head of the girl next to him gently.
“Ya,” Reply Short Province.
“If he does not know about his grandfather's death, it is much better for the sake of peace of mind let him feel everything is fine. Unless, if I'm not, you have to preach it. Because I'm his father.”
“Good,”
Winsi was silent but in his mind said that, for anyone who was still a brother when he died then, all were entitled to know.
However, perhaps the Arkans are different because, the peace of mind to take a test for the sake of their ideals or business, is more important than the sad news.
Arkan did not think about how disappointed Erlan was because all this time his son had always been indifferent to Badri.
When he was abroad it was the old man who had educated Erlan so hard, even exceeding the tolerance limits of children at his age, maybe that was why Erlan was very reluctant and respected his grandfather.
‘Why do I feel guilty this is the same Erlan?’inward Winsi while wiping the screen of her phone back.
Finally he just sent a message to Erlan.
“Hai, Lan, how are you?”
Write a greeting after writing a greeting.
Not long ago, there was a reply, making Winsi unconsciously smile.
“My news is good, Thank you. How are you there, Win? Still in Jogjakarta, are you home?”
‘Wah, he was so unemployed yes there, very quick to answer him' Inner Winsi while typing the message back.
“I go home, again same Mother now”
“Basic spoiled child, just got home for a while. You must have seen Mom, right? how is it now that Mom is healthy? I hope Mom's okay, because it's gonna suck us in her belly”
‘So long the answer, so funny anyway, similar to unemployment!’ inner Winsi.
“Alhamdulillah healthy”
“Nah, means my wish is granted dong .... Uh, Win, why don't you just send me a message like this, anyway? Kan, nice to chat, tumben you chat me. What's up, don't tell me you miss, or want to come here, huh?”
Erlan's answer this time successfully made him tickle and frown because he thought Erlan's speech was ridiculous.
“Nggak”
“Do not lie .. You know, right, lying is a sin so, just admit not to be ashamed. Kayak Waila, tuh, you know, same Waila, he's honest, the person, if misses, wants to meet or wants me to come there, he said frankly!”
‘Weird basis!’ inner Winsi
