Ali rubbed a tombstone bearing Reyhan's name. Honestly, he missed the man, even though he had done something wrong to him. Missed their time together when Ali was staying at Reyhan's house. Tell each other, even if not too close.
Ali placed the rose she brought in the Dean of Reyhan's tombstone. Swiping once again the white stone. "Assalamu'alaikum Father. Dad how are you there? I hope you're okay. Sorry I just came here. I'm sorry if I also found out late about the news that Dad is no longer in the world. I'm sorry Dad, if I ever put so much hate in the moment I found out that you were the mastermind of my accident. But whatever your mistake was with me, I'm sorry." Ali looked at his father's belly button.
"Dad, don't be sad there. Don't think about your mistakes again. Because, I've forgiven the mistakes you've made. Both me and Mommy have forgiven Dad. Sorry Dad if Mommy can't come to eat Dad. Mother has other activities to do. Someday Mommy will definitely come here Father." Ali wiped the tears that flowed from his cheeks.
No matter how bad Reyhan is, Ali will never forget how they were together at that time. Ali will never forget Reyhan's laughter and his father's sweet smile. His father's face was very similar to his. Betel nut on the two side, that's what people say.
"Dad, now Brother has come to Father's house. I have apologized to my son. Are you happy, hmm? Don't be sad anymore, Dad don't be sorry there. Apologies have been said from the mouth of my son. I miss you, so!" Reni rubbed her father's navel ground gently. It was as if the land was the body of his father. A longing that cannot be felt even for a moment. There's nothing left to hold if it's not Reyhan's photo.
"Mas, you're happy aren't you? Now your son is here. I hope you don't feel depressed there anymore. I hope you no longer feel regret. I hope for the next you will be happy there Mas. I miss Mas, I love you so much, Mas," Lani wiped her tears. If only God pleased, she would be eager to accompany her husband there. If only God would have picked her up at this very moment, she would have been very happy. She really misses her husband's warm embrace.
"Dad, I went home with Mom and Reni. Dad was calm there. Assalamu'alaikum Father," Ali kissed his father's tombstone gently.
The three men left Reyhan's navel with heavy steps.

What are you drinking, brother?" Reni, Lani and Ali are at Lani's house.
"Ren's white water" replied Ali.
"Okay, sister, I'll take it first," Reni left the living room.
"Assalaamu'alaikum" Ali raised his head when he heard someone say hello. A man carrying a bag and a child sleeping on his shoulders.
"Wa'alaikumsalam" Lani and Ali answered the man's greeting.
"Your mother is home?" Reni immediately serves drinks for Ali and Lani.
"Honey," replied the man named Bima.
"Why is it so fast?" Reni took the bag that her husband had brought.
"It just so happens that the meeting at school is over, honey. Than Mas in the school meningan Mas not, is it?" Bima lowered his eyebrows looking at his wife.
Reni blushed in embarrassment at her husband's words. Husband who was three years above her. "Sana Mas take Nina to the room, keep coming back here again. It just so happened that Kak Ali was here," Reni pointed at Ali who nodded her head to Reni's husband.
"Please drink Sis," said Reni.
"Yes Ren,"
Shortly after, Bima returned to the living room. Join Ali, Reni and Lani. Ali and Bima told a story like someone who had met often. There was no awkwardness between the two people.

Six months after Reyhan's departure facing the Power. Reni began to get acquainted with Bima through a blue white application that is often called a person with Facebook. Initially Reni was just a fad to reply to a message from Bima. About two weeks of introduction through the application, Bima invited Reni to meet at the city park. The man wanted to get to know Reni more closely before he took Reni to the wedding.
The meeting was held on Sunday. Awalny Reni is confused why on Sunday, whereas other days can also be. Bimo didn't give a reason why it couldn't be another day. At the first meeting, they talked about their lives. Bimo who no longer wants to play games tells Reni to propose to the girl to be his wife.
Surprised? It was certain that Reni was surprised by what Bima said. But Bima tried to persuade and prove to Reni if she was serious. One week after the meeting Bima came with her family to Reni's house to propose the girl. Pinangan that Reni never imagined it was actually a wedding one month later.
From the beginning of the meeting Reni did not ask what the work of Bima. He will accept the man as he is. Until one morning Reni was very surprised to see her husband wearing the clothes of a teacher. From there Bima explained if she worked as a teacher and explained the reason why she did not introduce herself as a teacher. Bima wants to see if the woman who will be his wife will accept herself sincerely or even look at herself with a price. Because most women who know Bima only look at the material.

"Mom, Mas, Ren I went home first yes, anyways this is going to go in time zuhur," said Ali.
"Why is it so fast, son? Isn't lunch here?" Lani was a little disappointed that her stepson was going home.
"No need Mom, after this I also want to pick up Mother and Abu and my sisters to the store" said Ali.
"Ahh yes already, next time eat first here son. I miss eating together like I used to" said the woman honestly.
"Well ma'am, I'll eat here sometime" replied Ali unpleasantly. Especially seeing Lani's disappointed face.
Ali shook Lani's hand, Reni and the last Bima Reni's husband.
