I Love You Om Edo
Don't cry Zha

Today, a little girl was seen curled up and contemplating in front of her father's coffin. She was silent, her tears were too dry to cry again. His energy was also exhausted to mourn the sudden departure of his beloved father. The father could still smile at him when he woke up and made breakfast.

it's all like a dream. And if he could, he wanted to come back in the morning when he opened his eyes to look back at his father's smile. He would not leave at that time, and remained at home and never even let Dad go from his side for a while.

His name is Zhavira Anastasya. He was only 17 years old at the time, and even he was still in high school. He was still in school and teaching as usual when a well-built man came and told him of his father's death.

"Zha, someone's looking for you." Call the teacher to him while the lesson is still going on.

Questioningly, the girl complied with the call and walked towards the principal's office. He saw them all there wondering why they were calling Zha at that time. Until the teacher asked him to sit and stroke his shoulders as if trying to calm when he himself did not know what happened actually.

"You're Zhavira, Seto's son?" ask the man to her.

"Yes, that's Zha's father. Who's it?" ask zha to him. He had never seen the man at all, let alone on his father's list of best friends.

"Follow me up. Your father just died this afternoon from an accident, "he said without an abasi bus to the little girl. If it could be a little softer, Zha would not be shocked to hear all the sudden news about his father.

"Where could zha's father have died. It's a lie, right? Um want to kidnap zha, huh? Om evil, right? Hayo ngaku," Zha seemed to still underestimate all the news that suddenly sounded in his ears at this time. He rejected all the news and from his little heart did not want to believe in them all there.

"You think I'm going to kidnap a student at school and ask his teacher for permission? That's ridiculous,"

The deggg!! The little girl's world felt dark for a moment. His eyes brimmed and his feet trembled. He wanted to stand up, but unfortunately fell down again and again. He continued to look at their faces all over there, looking very serious and not wanting to ask him to joke.

"Engga, Om lying. Who exactly, you know dad?" the girl's cries began to burst out to fill the room that was quite crowded there, because the man had only brought a few accomplices.

"I... I'm his boss at the company he works for, "honestly with a flat gaze without lowering his head.

"Yeah!!! It's impossible that dad died. Hesitate!! Zha doesn't want me to die so soon." Rejection for the sake of rejection is said by the girl with tears that continue to break. Some friends come in, calm down and even hug Zha a few times with their affection.

Zha was finally silent. He sat down next to his father's safe and came back crying there. He sobbed, so many tears came out that he dripped on the floor he was sitting on. "Ayaaaah," call zha to her father. Hoping that the father could still get up and hold her for the last time.

But that's all impossible. They even closed their eyes with gauze and made a death certificate for him. Zha Hanay could wail, his voice gone after a night of crying there until his father's body was brought home. But because Zha's original home was so small, they took them to the mortuary building, and there all the associates came to recite their condolences for him.

***

Voice Step sounded. The man came again to see his best friend for the last time. Zha immediately stood up, he bowed his body saluting the man named Edo Lazuardo, because when he came home for a while, he went back home, he saw a picture of the father with the man so familiar that he even hugged. Not like a boss and a boss in general. They looked just like a brother and sister because they were so familiar with their smiles.

"Zhavira," called edo with his baritone voice. So deep, so firm and so full of charisma. Zha simply bowed to answer the call, and was so reluctant to reply.

"As long as your father is buried, you'll come to my house. You, my responsibility from this moment on."

Zha was stunned to hear it. Why and how can the father give zha to his best friend, when zha actually still has a mother. Although, the mother never seemed just to visit him.

"Zha, wait for mama, Om. Hearing this news, surely mama will come pick up zha."

"You sure? Even her husband died, she didn't come. Or even, he already had his own family and was happy at this moment. Remember, he even left you as a baby" replied Edo with a cigar between his hands. He even so casually sucked deadpan the corpse of the friend, without any hesitation even on the zha who was disturbed by the smoke at that time.

He sounded unconcerned, even when Zha was coughing and tight due to the cigar he sucked in his mouth. Which even when he sucked it, the jaw stiffened showing his firmness with the adult side that was there.

The man was 30 years old and still single to this day, he was so selective towards the women who approached him. He is a businessman who has a property business everywhere, and zha's father is one of his accomplices.

They buried the body according to the last wish of the father who wanted his body to blend in with the ground. At that time Zha witnessed everything from the beginning to the end of all the process until the father really did not look in front of him again.

"Don't cry, zha. Dad always said, if you have to be a strong girl and not easily waver in any condition. Don't cry" said Zha to strengthen himself.
