"Arlin... Don't leave me and Kei" shouted a man who had just lost his wife.
A man is Aldo who is now screaming hysterically when he heard that his wife was declared dead. Moments ago, Arlin had a seizure and was later pronounced dead. Doctors diagnosed several problems in Arlin's body. Moreover, Arlin had just had an accident and then was hit by another disaster. This is what makes his condition worse.
"Sorry, ladies and gentlemen. We have tried our best, but destiny says something else. Mrs Arlin was pronounced dead at half an hour" the doctor said with a guilty look.
Even Kei who was also in Arlin's room had also been sobbing in Mama Nei's arms. Papa Tito who heard the explanation from the doctor was no less shocked. Even from earlier, he could only look at Arlin's corpse which was still lying on top of his safe. Some medical devices are still attached to his body because Aldo does not allow anyone to approach Arlin's body.
"Sorry, sir. But Mrs Arlin's body must be immediately purified and buried. It's not good to let someone's body stay too long, let alone his family has been gathered all together" said the nurse gave understanding.
"Know what are you? Go" joked Aldo not to accept.
Until the end, not a single nurse dared to approach for fear of being scolded by Aldo. They allow Aldo and his family to spend time with Arlin's body. They cannot resist because the family is the ruling giver.
"Mama pelgi linggain Kei. Mama ndak shayang Kei" exclaimed Kei while crying as he pleased.
Bugh... Bugh...
"Damn it... Get up Arlin" cried Aldo while hitting the wall of Arlin's room.
Even after that Aldo just approached Arlin's body and then held both shoulders. Aldo immediately shook Arlin's body, hoping that his wife would wake up. But no matter how hard Aldo tries, Arlin won't wake up. Papa Tito just got closer to his son who was increasingly unconscious if it had hurt Arlin's body.
"Speak Arlin. Do not let our cries and incomprehension make it heavy there" said Papa Tito held back his cries.
Papa Tito also immediately hugged his son and then stroked his shoulders slowly. Aldo also hugged his father tightly, as if he needed a booster in the face of this. Now Arlin's soul has gone quietly after knowing his relationship with his husband and son improved.
Now there is only his lifeless body, which is lifeless, who soon will also be buried in the ground.Just there are some memories and photos that they can make a reminder also remember how the figure of Arlin was in their lives.

The funeral had already taken place a few minutes ago, all the relatives and friends who knew Arlin had left the tomb area. Stay there there only Aldo who stood staring at the wet mound of soil sprinkled with roses. Behind his sunglasses, he hid his tears that had not dried.
Papa Tito decided to take away Mama Nei who had fainted because he felt very lost Arlin. Even Kei also cried hysterically to be taken away by one of the maids in his mansion.
"Why? Why are you staying with us? When we want to fix everything and form a happy family. You liar, you just want to fly us in happiness for a moment and drop it" Aldo said, chuckling softly.
"You succeeded. Successfully dropped me so deep that I did not know how to get up" he continued.
"Why? Answer" his jolt which then decays and falls on the ground.
Dugh... Dugh...
Aldo continued to hit the wet mound because he wanted to get an answer from Arlin who left him. There was no answer from the ground or the trees there. All have died and gone, leaving a thousand sorrow for the abandoned.
After having vented everything in his chest, Aldo immediately got up from his seat and then passed away. There are no words saying goodbye because he still considers losing Arlin is a dream.

"Omom, Opa... Which mama?" exclaimed Kei whose eyes had turned red and swollen from crying too much today.
Surely after escaping from the maid who took him, Kei immediately ran to find the whereabouts of oma and opanya. This is because Kei wants to know where the existence of the mother who was not on his side all day. Though everyone had returned to the mansion, but his mother had yet to see him.
Seeing the oma and opa in the living room by hugging each other, making Kei just ask his mother. Even Kei went straight into the arms of the two making Mama Nei hug her as well tightly.
"Son, your mother is already in heaven. Kei quite pray'akan he yes" said Papa Tito who was already unable to explain anything.
"Where is that ulga? Come on, cucul, opa. Smooth riding obil or wawat? Buluan come, tebulu anti mama dauh" exclaimed Kei enthusiastically.
The two of them could no longer answer anything about Kei's question. They cried in silence while hugging Kei until the little boy realized that the mother had died. All he knew was that dying meant he would never see his mother again.
"Youngpam.... Ndak ungkin's. Mama Macih is here" he said while crying hysterically.
Mama Nei was crying stifled from seeing her granddaughter this mess. Not expecting, at his young age must have lost his mother. They can't imagine how the lives of his son and grandson came after losing Arlin.
"Sttts... A lot of prayers, son. Mama is no longer sick and happy up there" said Mama Nei with a hoarse voice.
After a long time of calming Kei down, the little boy finally fell asleep in the arms of the two. Without them noticing, Aldo walked inside the mansion with his slow steps. The man was also unaware of the children and their parents sitting in the living room. Until his mother rebuked him, making him look at his glance.
"Aldo, think of Kei too. Kei still needs your attention" exclaimed Mama Nei who saw her son had no passion for life.
Aldo did not budge, even just a glance and then entered his room. This made Mama Nei a little disappointed. Not only was he the one who was saddened to be left behind by Arlin, but they and Kei as well.
"Patience, ma. Give Aldo time to accept all these facts" said Papa Tito, making Mama Nei can only nod his head.
