Forever Love
Travelling to Tosan
The atmosphere of Tosan's funeral was full of days, the grandmother was constantly crying in the navel of grandchildren who had been living with him and who he raised with affection. While Elin and Qania embrace each other to strengthen their hearts left by their childhood friends. Arkana gazed at the fixed Qania, he wanted to find out the closeness between Qania and Tosan after this.
One by one the mourners left the burial area, leaving Arkana and Rizal there. Qania went home with Elin, because he did not see Arkana in the cemetery. Arkana was sitting crouched beside the tomb of Tosan which is now filled with a sprinkling of grave flowers, his tears fell as he began to hold the headstone bearing the name of his friend.
"He will not live quietly because it has taken your life. I will look for him to get to the ant hole even once" Arkana said swear in front of the tomb of Tosan.
"Thank you for sacrificing your life to protect me even without you noticing. I will not release the man until he gets a reply from his actions, or even until he is in the ground just like you are today" Arkana continued, clenching both hands.
"We'll definitely find out who caused you to lie here. Rest in peace, my friend, me and the others will nyari that person and bring him here to kneel at your grave and apologize, I promise" said Rizal while holding the tomb of Tosan.
"So quiet rest, bro, you're fine there. I will reply all this, I say yes bro" said Arkana, tears dripping when saying goodbye at the tomb of Tosan.

Rizal and Arkana return to Tosan's grandmother's house to help prepare for the evening, while comforting the grandmother who now lives alone. They divide their tasks without getting sleepy and tired, they do them all with passion and sorrow in their deep hearts.
"Where is Tosan's room?" arkana asked Tosan's grandmother who was sitting on the sofa hugging the picture of her granddaughter.
"You walk straight, the room is next to the family room" replied the grandmother as he pleased.
Arkana nodded, he headed straight to the room of Tosan. As he was about to open the door, he faintly heard the voice of a woman crying, a very familiar voice in his ears. Slowly Arkana opened the door of the room, sure enough her lover was crying there. A big question mark hangs in his mind, there is a connection whether his lover is with his friend.
Arkana walked over to Qania who was sitting crying hugging a large picture frame.
"Honey" call Arkana, Qania immediately turned his head.
"You here?" qania asked with a face filled with tears.
Arkana sat beside Qania, and Qania leaned his head on Arkana's shoulder.
"What makes you this sad?" ask Arkana to find out.
Qania did not immediately answer, he only gave a picture frame that he had embraced to Arkana.
In the photo there are several photos that are combined like an album, there is a portrait of three children aged about five years with a boy flanked by two girls. There are also portraits of children in SD, SMP to SMA uniforms with the same position.
"We make friends even from us toddlers, we used to go everywhere always three. It's just that in recent months we have each busy until rarely gathered. Last week we were sitting here three joking around and planning a triplet in a park near here, we were going to camp like we were kids. But she was so heartless to leave me and Elin after planning it all" Qania told in tears.
"He's even planning my wedding and Elin's, he's gonna be our host and he's gonna be at our graduation. He who has always looked after us since childhood, never let anyone hurt us. Without saying goodbye he left us like this, he was so cruel, hikkssss" Qania's cries broke even more, he hugged Arkana's body so tightly.
"So they are friends from childhood, how could I not know this. So what used to be Qania meant by friends was Tosan. What if he knew the cause of his friend's death? Will he hate me?" think Arkana.
"Damn?" ask Arkana.
"Yes, she's been Tosan's girlfriend since High School" Qania replied.
Fortunately, Qania's old phone still has her friends' numbers. So that he could easily contact Jihan.
"What's Qan doing, tumben called? Did the firecracker make any more trouble?" jihan asked from across the channel, firecracker was his call to Tosan.
"Jihan, hikksss" Qania cried, causing Jihan to panic.
"Hey why?" ask Jihan curiously.
"She's gone, hikksss".
"He's who Qan is, don't confuse me" Jihan said in a panic.
"Tosan, he left us for good" Qania replied still crying.
"Don't joke Qan, it's not funny" said Jihan who began to fidget.
"I'm not kidding, he's gone. Without saying goodbye he had left us all and him." a sound like a falling object was ringing in Qania's ear.
"Damn.."
"Halloo..."
"Don't you hear me?..."
Qania kept calling her best friend but nothing was heard. There Jihan had already fallen limp on the floor, her tears flowing profusely. He still heard Qania's voice calling out to him, but he seemed to have no more strength to even speak.
"Tosaaaaaaaaaan.." cried Jihan.
Qania, who activated the speaker on her phone, was shocked to hear Jihan's screams, as was Arkana. It made Qania's crying even more so, he also became worried about Jihan's situation there without his family and close friends.
Without Arkana conscious, it turns out that Qania has fallen unconscious from shock with this incident. Arkana brought Qania's body back to Qania's house, and calmed him there.
