LOVE THE COLLEGE TIGER
Papa's Cemetery

Everyone inside Elzata's house was seen sobbing to see Elzata coming. Looking at it all, the deeper Elzata accelerated his pace.

"Where's mama?"

"Where's Papa?"

"Where's brother?"

"Why is everyone here?"

Elzata started to calm down. His talk is getting worse and uncontrollable. His tears had started to pour down, guessing what had happened to his family.

Before long, Elzata arrived in the middle room. There it looks someone has been stretched stiff, covered with a cloth to cover his head. Beside him were his mother, his brother and sister-in-law, his nephew and Elzata's other family.

Elzata approached, approaching the rigidly stretched figure before him. The opening of the cloth that covered the entire body of the figure, and when it opened slightly, saw the smiling face of papa while closing his eyes. Realizing that the person he loved in front of him was gone, his chest suddenly felt bad, everything darkened and after that Elzata no longer knew what was happening.

***

Rahardian, Elzata's father was one of the public figures in his town. He was a politician of a political party and is now an esteemed Councillor in the city.

The name Rahardian is quite well known to the public as a person who is friendly and close to the people. His struggle to be able to fight for the people of the lower class, making the community to the area terplosok in the city very close to him.

No wonder, if the soul of Elzata's leadership looks very prominent, it's all down to what his Papa has.

And now, a political figure who is quite calculated in his city died after having a heart attack while going to work out of town.

Of course everyone was shocked to hear the news of his sudden death. And the city seemed to lose the figure of a protector, who had been persistent in fighting for the rights of the common people.

***

After being smeared with oil and odors, Elzata who was now lying in his room accompanied by several relatives finally realized. For a long time, he remembered what happened before finally moving and scattering towards his papa body.

"Paaa.., Papa..., wake up Paaaa", call Elzata, pleading with Papa to come back.

"If Papa won't wake up, what about Elzata Paaaa. Zata please Paa... Papaaaa", Elzata continued to cry everyday. Everyone in the house could say nothing. All sobbing, until morning comes.

"Za, are you home? All right, right?", a message that from early morning entered Elzata's phone, but just shubuh read. WA of Ega.

Elzata who had begun to calm himself finally cried again, moving his fingers to reply to a message from Ega.

"Papa died, Ga", the message was brief.

Ega who was across there immediately pressed a call sign to Elzata, hoping Elzata lifted him and could calm down with the support that Ega would provide.

But Elzata who saw the call from Ega came in actually referred him, and wrote a message, and,

"Chatt, Ga. Pleases. I'm not strong"

"OK, honey. The patient yes. Best do'a for your Papa. I'll be sliding there soon. Maybe tonight I'll just sit down"

"Thank you, Ga. You don't have to come here. I don't know what kind of reaction your mother will have when she sees you coming. Mama will definitely think everywhere and be very sad because she will remember papa and our plans in turn. I want my mom to be strong and let go of my dad before I think of anything else"

"Yes" answered Elzata, wiping his tears that had not stopped.

***

Thousands of mourners came to Elzata's house. All officials in the city, relatives, all friends and friends of Elzata on campus, willing to come all the way to deliver Papa Elzata's body in his final resting place, and provide energy for the family left behind.

Of course everyone present was amazed by the sight before them. The large number of mourners who came to make them all think that so many people who love the figure of Rahardian during his life, to want to take him for the last time to the final rest.

Elzata saw his mother, approached, kissed and hugged her, energized her to face it all.

Elzata knew very well that his mother who was just a housewife was very dependent on Papa in everything. Even his mother had never been away from Papa for quite a long time. If the father has to go out of town though, the mother always comes along for a companion.

And the departure of his father out of town before he died was the first time the father left without his mother. So you can imagine how Mama Elzata felt, when she found her husband coming home in a state that had become a corpse, because when she left her condition was still healthy wal afiat.

The funeral was very solemn. All who came were unable to hide their deep sorrow.

Until finally one by one friends, relatives and friends who were present at the funeral were welcome home, leaving the Elzata family and keeping all the memories of a Rahardian in their hearts.

Elzata swept his mother into the room to rest, while his brother was busy with his toddler son and rested in his own room.

Elzata saw the sadness of his mother so deep. Although her mother was no longer crying, she could see through her empty eyes. When the mother closed her eyes, the veil on her face was unable to hide the pain she felt.

Of course this is the toughest thing that must be faced by his mother during life. The loss of the person he loved most, who fought together to this point and who was always with him in all his joys and sorrows.

Perhaps half his breath is now gone along with the departure of the father who brought a million memories.

While continuing to gently rub her mother's back, her mind ran everywhere.

Now, she is the only person who has to take care of her mother, because her sister already has a life of her own with her husband and son.

His mind kept turning, thinking after this what he should do.

How should he keep his mother in his place?

How is he supposed to support this family after papa's death?

What about those who count the days?

What about the proposed plan that has been prepared?

What about the wedding plans and plans to take S2 in Japan?

"Ahhhhh, where should I start", cried Elzata in his heart, until finally he fell asleep beside his mother, with all the confusion that still danced in his mind.

Will Elzata get through it all? Can he think of his mama's happiness and his own happiness without anyone being hurt?
