Rendra arrived at his house and was seen if the house was crowded. A yellow flag was raised in front of the house. Rendra rushed into the house. Seemed in the living room Siska's body was laid in the middle of the room. Both of his sons were sitting next to the body. Both faces looked dull. Although not close to the mama Deni also looked hit. The boy also seemed to hold the brother's hand tightly. Rendra walked slowly closer. The two grieving children immediately turned to look at Rendra.
The deg!
Rendra's heart immediately felt it stop beating. How not. Netra her two children radiate hatred to her. Although the mouth of both locked but the look of the face and the view of both can describe how both of them are holding back anger at him. Rendra dropped himself in front of Siska's body with his head lowered. His hand shook and was about to touch the face of the woman he had beaten last night viciously.
"Don't touch my mama!" ayana shouted suddenly, making Rendra's hand stop and everyone who was there was shocked.
Deni had also hugged his brother's body trying to hold back the brother's anger. Rendra and the others looked surprised at the close interaction of the two. Though all this time both seem the opposite and even like hostile. It seems Siska's death managed to unite the two.
"Don't be so son, he's your papa..your mama's husband.let him see your mama one last time.." said one of the mourners.
"Don't you say my mom is dirty and it's not worth touching, huh? then why do you want to touch it?" cecar Ayana who does not care about the words of the mourner.
Everyone is silent. They do not seem to want to interfere in family matters that they do not know about. One by one mourners prefer to move to the front of the house and let the nuclear family inside. Ayana is still seen looking at her papa with a nyalang look. Suddenly there was the voice of someone who was hated by Ayana and now Deni.
"Assalamualaikum.m sorry ma.. I just found out.." said Jihan as she approached Hasna.
He looked bad to go straight to Rendra because in front of there are still many neighbors who serve. Just as the woman was about to approach Deni, suddenly the boy shuffled towards her brother. The boy's eyes were also seen emitting hatred towards Jihan, leaving the woman momentarily stunned. But the moment he wanted to ask her someone came to shock everyone.
"Siska!" exclaimed that person and immediately hugged Siska's corpse.
"Tante Keysha.." call Ayana cirih.
Keysha turned towards Ayana and Deni with a grieving look.
"Why your mom, baby? why could it be like this? what exactly happened to her?" keysha leaned in, not expecting her best friend to die so soon.
A few days ago, they had just met and talked together. Even then Siska seemed very happy when she met him. But now that woman is gone. What's more he saw Siska's body there were a lot of bruises on his face, making Keysha suspicious.
"Siska accident son." said Ms. Hasna quickly.
"Accident?"
"Yes. last night he came out with a car. And suddenly we got word if he was in an accident." Hasna continued.
Obviously the woman was lying. He also said the same to all who were worshipping. And he had also shut the mouths of everyone in the house to follow his scenario. He did not want his son to be dragged and go to prison. He even used that excuse to force the two Siska children to shut up. He was sure the two boys would want to protect their father from being imprisoned. And he was relieved, because the two children were silent when Ms. Hasna lied to everyone.
In the afternoon shortly before Siska's body was to be brought to be sholated and buried, Dira came with her parents. The girl did not come with her other classmates, because that day actually Dira did not go to school because she was sick with the flu. But when he got a message from a classmate who reported that his mother Ayana died, the teenager immediately asked his parents for permission to visit Ayana's house. Mr. Sam and Amira also accompany their youngest daughter because they know that Ayana is a friend of their daughter. But all this time they had not met the boy.
"I'm sorry Ay. who is patient yes." said Dira while hugging his best friend.
Ayana was crying again in Dira's arms. The girl seemed to find her backrest while grieving with Dira. Because he was trying hard for his brother Deni.
"We and the family are very sorry Mr. Rendra." said Mr. Sam sincerely.
Mr. Sam also knows Rendra because both are entrepreneurs despite not knowing closely.
"Thank you.." said Rendra Lirih.
Amira just nodded her head and cupped her palm as a sign of grief. When looking at the corpse, the two looked surprised. How not... Siska is someone from their past. Though not on good terms, Siska is Keysha's best friend, a woman who tries to disrupt their household. Even Siska had hurt Mr. Sam to help his friend. But the two try to forgive the woman's mistakes in the past, what else is now Siska dead. While in the corner of the room looks someone glazed. Not only because of the departure of the friend but also because of the arrival of Amira and Mr. Sam there. After seeing Siska's body, Amira also approached the two children who were losing the mother.
"You who are patient, pray for your mama to be calm there." he said gently while stroking the tops of Ayana and Deni's heads.
The two children also seemed to cry. What's more when Amira hugs the two gently. Without anyone else knowing at this time the two children were in great fear after the death of the mother. Because there's a killer on the loose in their house.
"Dad... mother... Can I stay here to accompany Aya?" pinta Dira to her parents.
Mr. Sam and Amira look at each other, all this time Dira has never stayed at his friend's house. And this is the first, it's because they believe that Dira wants to comfort her bereaved friend.
"If papa Aya allows you to agree" replied Mr. Sam, looking at Rendra asking permission from the man.
"Yes..it's okay.Ayana must be happy to have someone with her." said Rendra with a smile and looked at her daughter.
"Alright, let the driver who will deliver clothes instead." said Mr. Sam who does not want his daughter to trouble his family friends, let alone they are in mourning.
Right after the prayer dhuhur Siska's corpse was buried. A sad look on the family left behind. Especially the two girls who are now strays. After the funeral, Mr. Sam and Amira who were walking towards their car were shocked when Keysha confronted the two. Master Sam's face immediately hardened as the woman who had done so much wrong to him dared to appear before him. Amira who saw her husband's attitude immediately stroked her husband's arm so that the man would hold back his emotions.
"I'm sorry Sam... Amira... I apologize for my mistakes first.especially you Sam.I'm sorry I was so selfish and even had the heart to harm Karina.." said Keysha sincerely.
Yes, since that time in the funeral home he had thought about it. What else before Siska died, the woman had also had time to advise him. Amira and Sam can see the sincerity in Keysha's eyes. It was seen that the woman had changed a lot after the last time they met.
"We've forgiven you for a long time.I hope you don't repeat your past mistakes again Key." said Mr. Sam who made Keysha exhale in relief.
"Thank you. I'm also sorry on behalf of Siska..."
"We know that we have also forgiven him, what else he has calmed down there." said Mr. Sam.
"One more time thank you. I'm sorry.." said Keysha.
Amira and Sam nodded.
"Alhamdulillah Db's... Keysha seems to have changed." said Amira as Keysha moved away from them.
"Yes, may he keep walking on the right path." said Mr. Sam.
After Siska's funeral, Dira actually stayed at Ayana's house to comfort her best friend. From the afternoon Ayana locked herself in the room. And so is Deni. But the boy went inside the brother's room. Both were accompanied by Dira.
Her night...
"Well... You eat yes... from the morning you and Deni have not eaten, right?" bring Dira.
"I'm not hungry Ra.." said Ayana Lirih.
"Den.. you also eat yes.." persuaded Dira to Deni hope the boy complies and can make Ayana also eat.
But Deni just shook his head.
"Why? you must have reported it?" ask Dira.
"I will not eat if Aya sister also does not eat" said Deni who made Ayana immediately turned to look at the sister.
"Look Ay... Deni also does not want to eat. You better eat yes. so Deni also want to eat" persuaded Dira did not want to give up.
Seeing her sister's face that looks a little pale makes Ayana trenchuh. He knew the two hadn't even eaten since last night. How could they possibly swallow food if the two were still reminded of the tragic death of the mother.
"Pity your mama..it must not be quiet there if you see her children starving..."
Ayana finally nodded. Dira also prepared the food he had brought from the kitchen for the three of them. Then they ate in silence. Every now and then Ayanas tears trickled down remembering the mother. Likewise with Deni no different situation with the brother. After eating, they went silent again. They are busy with their own thoughts.
"Ay... I want to pray isya'.. You are the same Deni want to join the congregation prayer?" ask Dira when looking at the wall clock that shows at 8 p.m.
Ayana and Deni were slightly jolted. Honestly, both of them rarely practice that one worship. Siska used to remind both of them but still without examples from other families makes both of them sometimes lazy to practice worship. The two brothers finally nodded. And the three of them worshiped Deni as a priest. Finish worship Ayana and Deni feel calm. Their minds are a little open and not too late in sadness. What else Dira also invited the two to recite the verse of the Quran to pray for their mother.
"Thank you Ra. because you our hearts are calm now." said Ayana when they just finished praying.
"Sama-sama Ay. I am also happy if you now feel calmer" said Dira.
Then they decided to rest. But Deni does not want to go back to his own room because he is still afraid of the killer of his mother who roams in their house. The three of them slept in one room. Actually Ayana also has the same fear with her sister but she does not want to show it if there is another Dira who does not know anything. The girl was still fighting in her heart to tell Dira the truth or not. Because he was afraid to involve his friend in his problems what else it could be life threatening. But he can't keep it to himself either. His sister Deni is still too small to be able to exchange thoughts in the face of problems that occur. And the trauma of seeing the murder of their mother made Ayana unbearable with her sister.
"Maybe I better be honest with Dira. She is a pretty mature and trustworthy girl.." Ayana's inner self looked at the face of her best friend who was asleep next to her.
Ayana tries to rest her body before tomorrow she will tell Dira everything. He finally fell asleep by hugging the body of his sister Deni who was on his left side.
