D-Day


...I love my wife, accept all her past...


...************...


April 31 is the perfect time to see Sakura blossom in the city of Hakodate, Hokkaido province, Japan's northernmost island. Especially when visiting the Goryakaku garden, the combination of the fragrance of Sakura flowers and a distinctive grill of lamb caught the attention of Nana and Farel.


This place is not too crowded because they come at 10:00 am. Usually the night will be more crowded, because the trees are illuminated by many lights and hundreds of red and white lanterns along the road, making the view of Goryakaku park more charming.


Nana and Farel chose to sit relaxed under the big Sakura tree, while looking at the Goryakaku tower from afar. If we can climb to the top of that tower, we'll see a star-shaped fortress with perfect tipping. Well, because the Goryakaku garden is surrounded by star-shaped fortifications, which were once used as a defense of northern Japan.


Nana deliberately chose this place because her mother used to invite travel to Hokkaido when spring arrived. His mother loved Sakura flowers and the pink color was very impressive. Her mother even aspired to plant Sakura trees in her yard.


Farel did not say much this time, he knew that Nana was very happy to see Sakura trees blooming. She would rather enjoy every line of Nana's ever-smiling face. Even the hue of her cheeks was now blushing pink like Sakura.


In addition to enjoying the warm air and beautiful spring, they were enjoying the slices of lamb that were so distinctive. Farel even spoiled Nana with great joy, he was to feed his wife until it ran out.


After finishing the meal, Nana and Farel decided to climb to the top of the Goryokaku tower/tower. Similar to Monas in Jakarta, this tower has a long history in Japan. In addition to functioning as an observation tower, this place provides cafes and restaurants to rest.


Farel never stopped holding his wife's hand anywhere. Anyone who looks at the eyes will look like a couple of lovers who are full of romance. No one could have thought, if tomorrow they would officially divorce and separate. Their life stories are a bit tragic and unusual.


At the top of the tower, they can see the Goryokaku fortress and the surrounding cityscape.The large and clear glass makes them want to do a photo together behind the view of the city of Hakodate.


Nana and Farel laughed at the pose of those who looked better. Like a couple of newborn babies, just discovered what happiness means. After a tiring stroll around the city of Hakodate, they decided to stay at one of the five-star villas and resorts.


At 04.00 pm they just finished booking one of the special rooms. The room deliberately faces an artificial lake with a large Sakura tree towering. The room was deliberately booked Nana, because the strategic view saw a clear lake.


This is the first time they have ever shared a room. Farel hoped there would be a last chance his wife could give him, because she did not want this room to be the last meeting.


*********


After all the mourners left, Agus was still faithfully in front of Tania's grave mound. He was constantly crying over the woman he loved so much. She thought that after losing her mother, Tania would become a true friend in her life. God took him away very quickly.


His life is like a new highway that never used. Silent and empty, there was no trace of anything passing on that road. He lost hope of living, tried hard to get up and fell as deep as the abyss of hell.


Both Tania's foster parents came to Agus from behind. They hugged Agus tightly, breaking the cries of loved ones. Tania's father and adoptive mother are devastated by the irony of her son's departure.


After releasing Tania for good, leaving her alone underground and fused with nature. Agus and Tania's adoptive parents deliberately talked in the resting place. Tania's adoptive parents want to know what really happened.


Agus with full honesty, telling all these events as they are. How Tania got into an orphanage and met her real siblings. All the facts are very neatly stored, even their adoptive parents just do not know anything.


They always regarded Tania as an independent, intelligent and courageous child. He is well known as a hard-line and extreme lawyer helping the little people. There was no implied one flawed crack from within his heart. To them Tania is a child of grace.


Although Tania has made many mistakes in the past, they as parents always forgive their favorite children. Even with the airy chest, they will continue to love Tania like their own biological children.


Agus is very grateful if Tania has been getting the figure of an extraordinary adoptive parent. Their wisdom is like slapping all ego and hatred towards everyone related to this case. He wanted to be like them, trying to come to terms with disappointment.


"Please, arrest the real killer p3. He must accept the heavy punishment," the mother-in-law asked with tears.


"Now a serious crime team is heading to Japan and will cooperate with INTERPOL Japan. We just pray, if the hunt for these suspects is fruitful," replied Agus full of confidence.


After returning home from the Tania eaters, Agus turned out to have another visit. He had to meet the Rose who was receiving intensive care. After her father's arrest, Tania's health deteriorated.


Because it is considered not ready to make a long flight, the plan of heart transplant surgery, delayed for one month. Agus promised Sugeng that he would care for and accompany Rose until the heart transplant operation was successful.


Agus felt he had a huge moral responsibility towards the rose. He even owed the boy a debt of gratitude, for his bravery he wanted to imprison his own father. It is because of this child that Tania is free from all charges, because of her honesty she can drag Nana as far as possible.


Now that Agus is a kara, it is not difficult to spend time with the Rose. Moreover, the suspension period for one year, making it a total unemployment. But for him this is the best time given by God, to perform self-introspection and healing of inner wounds.


***********


Back in Japan, Nana and Farel were sitting together in front of the front porch. While enjoying a cup of honey and warm lemon, the atmosphere tonight feels more beautiful. They talk a lot, sometimes they throw laughter at each other.


"Do you know what I like about that lake?" ask Nana.


"So, it's just an ordinary lake."


"I used to spend a lot of time with my mom there. Under the Sakura tree, my mother always read me fairy tales while looking at the calm lake water. Her soft voice, made me fall asleep often," Nana recalled with a haru.


"Did you miss your mother?


"Every day I miss my mother. Actually she is a stupid woman, for the sake of my future, she is willing to defend her inheritance from father.


Until his stupidity leads to death, I better live poor and destitute as long as my mother can always be with me."


"Nana now never feel alone, you can count on me. Trust me, I won't leave you no matter what.


I'm an asshole and a bad guy, but can't you give me a chance to fix everything?" Farel asked with a slight insistence.


"We'll get divorced tomorrow, the divorce papers will be there when you wake up. Can you just let me go?"


"Can't Na!"


"You should be able to Farel, out there you will live happier. Believe me," persuaded Nana.


"I love you, I really love you. Do I have to let go of this love because of that stupid diary?"


"Farel, let's go to bed. I wrote the diary for the last time. If you have time, read it..."


Nana immediately got up from the chair towards the door of the room. Farel caught up with Nana and restrained his wife's steps. With all her efforts, Farel finally hugged Nana tightly. She tightened up all her emotions and melted down the grief of this divorce. She was so sorry, she was guilty of always playing with Nana's feelings.


"Please, stay with me, where I may part with you" Farel said in tears.


Nana did not answer anything anymore, she could only accept the hug as wide as possible. Of course she had to calm the feelings of her husband who had lost his way. Nana doesn't want to make Farel feel guilty, because all these divorces are part of her plan.


***********


Farel awoke from a very slumbering night. Because all night, Nana kept keeping him from continuing to dissolve in sadness. She yawned widely, her hands rubbing against the tears. He saw that Nana wasn't in the room.


He thought maybe Nana was exercising around the resort park. Farel decided to take a shower and clean up as soon as possible. After she finished changing clothes, she saw that there was a dish of Miso Soup and warm rice on her desk. Not to forget Avocado juice to complement breakfast.


Farel sat down and immediately ate his breakfast the next morning. He saw a small note paper stuck near Miso soup. It turned out that all these dishes Nana prepared, she still even cared about him.


But he began to remember a diary that he had not been able to read. Farel took the witch's diary and read it immediately. While enjoying the warmth of Soup Miso, he opened the last sheet in the diary.

Dear Diary's.....


Husband, never be sad about our divorce. Trust me, this is all the best for both of us. This breakup is the perfect start to a new life.


Never feel guilty about this divorce. Because he was once in my life, making him more colorful and full of flavor. Before my life was too ruined just to build feelings. However, after meeting her I realized that love existed.


Thank you, my husband, I am so happy with this marriage. Ilove you...


Unknowingly Farel's tears began to wet the last sheet of the diary. He was so devastated by this farewell. Especially after seeing there is a divorce agreement sheet from the Ministry of Religious Affairs, which he has signed. The divorce is now just awaiting trial.


Suddenly his HP rang, Farel only realized that while in Japan he did not glance at HP at all. After wiping away the cry in the corner of her eyes, she immediately answered the phone call.


"Hello" said Farel in a hoarse voice.


"Farel, are you okay. We'll be heading to where you are right now" Alex said tensely.


"Who are you?"


"We Bareskrim police are targeting your wife. Should Mr. Farel be next to Nana?"


"Nana. He, he's not here. I haven't seen him in a long time since I woke up" Farel said nervously.


"So soon find your wife!! don't lose track of him!!" Alex yelling.


Farel hung up the phone call. He frantically and confusedly, immediately looked for where his wife had been all this time. He exited the room and headed down the stairs. But he accidentally saw something strange near the lake.


Farel climbed again up the stairs and stood in front of the terrace room facing the lake. After looking deeper, it turns out there are women t3red by a rope tied to a tree branch. Farel's heart stopped for a few seconds, like he was thrown into another dimension.


With the rest of his strength present, his legs were already weak and felt numb. Farel ran towards the lake, it turns out that out there everyone has realized that there is a person who bvnuh himself near the lake.


Upon reaching the point of the lake, how surprised Farel was to see so clearly, his own wife was tied to a large rope around the neck. Nana's body was hanging with a blue face and her eyes were closed. He became a lifeless man again.


Farel quickly climbed onto the top of the tree and untied the rope around the branch. After the rope was broken, Nana's hanging body immediately fell and collapsed underground. Farel immediately descended from the top of the tree and opened the rope wrapped around Nana's neck.


He tried to resuscitate his wife as much as possible, even he made first aid by doing artificial breathing and pressing his chest. Farel hopes that Nana's breath can go back up. But several times he tried, his wife could not be saved.


Farel hugged his wife's still warm body, but his breath could not return to the spirit. Farel was crying and screaming, he kept calling his wife's name and telling her to get up.


"Nana. Please don't leave me like this...."


"Na, why are you leaving like this!! Na's.. Na.. let's get up! This is all Farel's fault, I'm sorry. Please wake up.." whine Farel.


Amidst Farel's sobs, he hugged his wife so very tightly. Serious crime teams and Japanese police were already in the vicinity of the lake. They arrived late, all in vain. The perpetrators of the p3killas they are targeting now choose to go by way bvnuh themselves.


Alex was stunned and felt sadness, not because he saw anything about himself. He was sad because Farel, the man was still faithful to be beside his wife until the last breath. He could not imagine how devastated Farel was, watching his wife ma@ti in front of his own eyes.


Now that the case is over, the police certainly can not punish the perpetrators of the p3 serial killer who has become a corpse. But Alex believes there is retribution from a more cruel god. He's just an ordinary human being, the police are just an organization full of flaws.


But not by the law of God, all will be in accordance with his plan. Alex has dropped the case, he must immediately bring the body back home.

...Three Years later...


Roses that have grown up and are healthier at the age of 21 years. After a successful heart transplant, he now has a longer life expectancy. Because his father had received a sentence in prison, he lived independently by working full time in a cafe.


With passion and a carefree heart, she serves the buyers. He moved so deftly like a child who had just learned the path. The door of the cafe opened, he saw a police officer walking in to the cashier table.


Roses smiled widely to see Agus coming every day to his cafe. He was never absent to eat and drink where he worked. The rose came out of the bench and walked over to the man.


"Sister, aren't you being scolded by your fierce boss? Everyday time stopped by here," the Rose scowled with a frown.


"Squeer.my chatty sister, you don't have to complain a lot with customers. Just bring me a glass of Americano coffee and a tuna sandwich. I'm so hungry" Agus replied as he touched and stroked the Rose's head.


"Oh, ready, police!!"


Agus chose to sit in a chair close to the window, it seemed that he was waiting for someone to come. He continued to monitor the outside conditions from the window, waiting for a car that stopped right in front of the cafe parking lot.


Not waiting for long, the ford car finally appeared from the right and turned towards the front parking lot. He saw Farel get out of the car with his style that was always cool and handsome. Unlike her who always looks cute and cute.


Farel opened the cafe door and immediately realized Agus' presence in the corner there. He waved at the policeman with a big smile. After greeting each other, he sat down in front of Agus.


"Sorry, the streets are jammed" said Farel casually.


"Where will the futsal field be prepared tomorrow?"


"Calm down, I'll treat you all later. I'll win this time."


"Hahahahaha.mana maybe the man who just sat at the director's table can play futsal," ledek Agus girang.


"Know ye," Farel replied with a bitter laugh.


In the middle of their familiar conversation. The rose came while carrying Agus' order. He was surprised to see the owner of the cafe where he worked.


"Boss, Farel.... Geez, come do not say. Want no more employees to work yes," muttered Rose in shock.


"No Rose, uncle just wants to have a casual conversation with your brother."


"The diligent work of the deck, do not disappoint uncle Farel," continued Agus.


"Each dong, Rose has promised to be able to live independently. Rose is grateful to know you."


Farel and Agus smiled compactly, of course because for them the Rose had become part. They do not want to let the child be lonely or fight alone. They will keep the rose up at all times.


"Oh, boss, what message do you want?"


"Miso soup, warm white rice and avocado juice yes" replied Farel.


The rose frowned, she gave a strange expression. Of course, every boss comes to visit the cafe, he always orders all three menus at once. There was no other food or drink that Farel glimpsed, only three dishes became his favorite.


"I'm sorry boss, know this is just an ordinary cafe. Not a Japanese restaurant, if the boss wants the food, can ko Rose order online."


Agus gave the code to Rose to shut up. He even glared at the brat in annoyance. He told Rose to be quiet and not protest too much.


"Dec, time served that rich boss. Just make Miso soup at Farel's request. Gitu doang ko bothered," continued Agus broke the stupidity of Roses.


"Can you?" farel asked convincingly.


"Yes can dong boss, pokonya don't worry. Boss wants to order a thousand times a Rose to make it special. Ok, the rose is just to stay."


The rose turned over and walked back to the kitchen. But his mind was still stuck, because Farel's behavior did not change at all. How not, since the beginning of this cafe stands, Farel always ask for Miso soup without getting bored.
