The Love Story of the Orphan
Remembering the Past

It seems that Andre is driving his bike quickly because he wants to quickly reach his mother Benny's house, because his mother Benny's house is quite far from Randy's workshop,

Andre spurred his motorbike through the traffic of his vehicle until it did not feel he had reached the scene there were many people who filled Benny's house,

Andre who saw Benny in front of the bath his mother immediately approached him when Benny was solemnly reading Burdah

"Patience to Ben" said Andre while rubbing Benny's back twice, Benny who received such treatment was a little surprised but when he saw it turned out his cousin who was none other than Andre

"Thank you, brother" said Benny who used to call Andre as his brother

"There is a greeting from Randy he said sorry can not come because the workshop again rame" said Andre told Benny

"It's okay, anyway" said Benny who understood Randy's situation, Benny read Burdah following the others who were also reading Burdah after Andre had told him his greetings

"Let's lift that there not to be tilted" said a man who did not know his name when he saw the body was finished in the bath, then the person who was there scrambling to lift the coffin of the corpse

"Those who do not have ablution please take ablution first" said someone else

"Allahuakbar" said a person who acted as the priest of the funeral prayer,

It is mandatory for someone who has died to be prayed because of the importance of prayer so that we die is still being prayed

So never once to leave the prayer because later in the first prayer later that is our prayer because the prayer includes the pillar of religion so it is important for us to always strengthen our religion through prayer,

It is a shame for people who deliberately leave prayer let alone to make sure that prayer is not mandatory so in Islam they are told to repent and return to the right path,

But to pray the corpse of the law is only fardhu kifayah which is the obligation to die if in one village there are those who do it but one village gets sin if all of them do not do one and order the way is different too

Where only do four times takbiran after that salam no longer ruku' as well as prostration and in the prayer of the body that can do the prayer of only men and women are not allowed to do it, he said,

Unlike the prayer in general as well as the five-time prayer which is the law of fardhu ain that must be done by everyone be it men or women, either,

After finishing the prayer, it seems that Benny did not go home immediately he was still sitting next to his mother's body and reading the Surah Yasin which was special to his late mother's house

"Andre temenin I dong here, let me have a friend here I do not know a lot" pinta Benny on Andre when Andre intends to go home, Andre,

Hearing the request from Benny earlier made Andre so did not have the heart to leave him alone and accompany Benny naji beside his mother Benny,

Just when again the solemn naji suddenly there was a notification of incoming messages when it was seen that Randy sent a WhatsApp message to him

"Dre you are where you are now" that's how Randy's message was sent to Andre

"It's still at Benny's parents' house again nemenin Benny njai" Andre wrote and immediately sent to Randy shortly from the message came back to him

"Share the location of Dre because I want to follow" when reading the message without a length of Andre directly send his location now to Randy, he said,

After almost half an hour, Randy was finally there and he did not see Andre or Benny outside

"There's where you are" Randy wrote in a WhatsApp message,

While Andre did not immediately reply to a message from Randy, he still finished his salary first

"There is in the same salary again Benny" replied Andre when he had read the surah Yasin while he not only stopped there he was still reading again

"Please come in if you want to pray the body" said a man who may be Benny's stepfather

"Yes sir" Randy answered what was said by the man and went straight inside but he did not immediately pray he was still waiting for others afraid that someone had not done the corpse prayer

Not long ago there were three people who had just come directly to perform the prayers of the deceased to make Randy and Faris rise

Yes Randy came here with Faris while his workshop was forced to close when it was no longer rame, after Randy and Faris prayers did not go home immediately he was still waiting for the funeral process of the corpse, he said,

Time passed by an hour and Randy waited until finally some people rose to bring the coffin to the cemetery after the excavation was finished making others rise from his seat

Local residents with his compote carried the coffin while saying the phrase tawhid many times

Until finally they had reached the cemetery when the time the corpse would be put around accompanying him with the reading Yasin, the,

On the other hand Randy who saw Benny was in the grave to bury the body he remembered to his parents so as to make it powerless to hold his tears became swollen eyes until finally dripping down

He recalled to his parents he felt his parents were still with him those memories suddenly appeared in his mind to make him seclude from the crowd he calmed down first before he returned to the funeral, so that he could not help himself,

And when he was feeling rather calm Randy returned to the cemetery there the body was buried and now the process of reading Talkin for the body

Not to forget the kyai who led the event apologized for the late man to be released his sin and asked for good testimony from the residents to be free from the grave witness and not to forget he as a family representative almarhumah asked for the help of surah Yasin and tahlil which will be held after the Isyak prayer

"Ben, we go home first, be patient" Randy said goodbye to Benny when he saw Benny also coming home after the funeral was over while encouraging the friend

"There are still many Rand, Faris, Andre" Benny said as he shook hands with a special friend who was welcomed with a sumringah by all of them

The day has begun to dark star stars have sprung up one by one looks fresh wind sometimes comes to the man who feels it as well as Randy and his friend who is in the substation

"Kasian Benny used to be a broken home family now has to live in his mother's house" said Andre began the conversation when from earlier everything was busy on each HP

"Hey pity Benny if I'm Benny is no longer strong me" Arif said because he does not know the ins and outs of the Randy family is worse than Benny

"If Randy's only worse, he now has to live in his parents when he was still a teenager of seventeen years old while his sisters were all young" Faris said that because she knew Randy's family

"Yes if you think about it" Arif said again, they said like that because Randy was still in his house

"Therefore he can develop this workshop because of the upbringing of Randy's parents who are very hard on him" he said again

"Perhaps if I become Randy has run away from home" said Rangga who had just remained silent while bending both knees,

They seem to imagine what happened to Randy and to Benny as if they imagine that he must be one of them

"We should be grateful to both of our living parents, not to yell at them, to fight them, let alone to hurt their hearts especially to our mother who gave birth to us,

We must be kind to him if we look at what happened to Benny and Randy should be a lesson to be strong take care of our parents lest they be sad to have children like we proved to parents that they deserve to have children like us"

Andre said wisely because among them only he was the oldest in the range of twenty-four while the others listened carefully while nodding their heads marked to understand what Andre said

"Well, what's the matter" asked Randy suddenly while those who were there were unaware of Randy's presence

"No Rand we just imagine how if we become one of you and Benny if we are strong to face such trials" said Andre who was unaware of the arrival of Randy as well as others

"Gini Dre, all of it has been arranged by God, the proof is that I am from childhood educated by my parents as an adult, who had to find his own money even first if I want to school never be given a thousand pocket money by the father, he said,

I used to always grumble to him I thought my father was unfair my brother all given money only me who is not but now I understand the father's harsh upbringing against me so that I become tough person

Because it will face even more difficult events" Randy said at length about his life in the past

"If I had been spoiled by my father maybe now I would not be like this at most I would have also died following him by suicide"

Furthermore, suddenly the atmosphere became quiet they all fell silent over what happened to Randy must happen to him capable of becoming a strong figure like Randy

"Have not discussed this past belief let it pass so I don't remember my parents anymore" said Randy when he saw the atmosphere became quiet

"Oh yes tomorrow tahlil yuk to Benny's parents" asked Andre

"Again, but we have to leave after Maghrib prayers" Randy said, advising Benny's parents' house, which is quite far away

"We gather here later and depart from here how" proposed Rangga

"Again" said the others

"Oh yes where Ubaid is" asked Randy when he did not see Ubaid

"Again he was sick, last time I brought him here said his mother again sick" said Arif who was home near Ubaid

"Oh that's it, the cigarette is there" asked Randy again when he did not see the cigarette package

"Oh this is there" said Arif while removing his cigarette in his pocket followed by others

A week has passed since the death of Benny's mother is now normal activities began to return and Benny has started to enter the workshop again a time when Randy was not excited at work because he always remembered his father when I was at work when I was gathering while joking

All of that was recorded clearly in his mind Randy as well as the shadow of his mother while playing with his sister while having dinner while being asked in his foot massage to Randy all of it was recorded clearly in the mind Randy did not feel his tears dripping by themselves,

On the other hand Andre who saw it did not dare to say hello to Randy he felt sorry when he saw it was sad he could only whisper all of it to Faris and Benny, he said,

While Randy himself was powerless with his tears he decided to take ablution and went to the funeral of his parents without saying goodbye first to the others there Randy shed his sorrow through tears which keeps flowing

Until making a sobbing cry occasionally he called his mother and father he felt not strong anymore when staying by them while reading Yasin to reduce the crying that became more

But unfortunately he did not stop crying even worse with this condition he felt he needed a father figure that could calm him needed a mother figure who could care for him

But all he did not get after living in his parents and now he is the one who has to be the father of his sisters sometimes he has to be a mother when Syifa who is still fifteen years old who is still reasonable childish

"Mother......" when unable to do what is happening now, it seems like it is too soon for seventeen-year-old Randy, who now has to carry the burden of being a parent

"Father...why are you so quick to pass" she said again in her sobbing cry while hitting the ground many times.

He sobbed with his tears when the shadow of his parents would not go out of his mind either what he had to do wanted to scream but he was afraid because he was in a public cemetery now only cries he could be his friend in speech,

For a moment Randy was silent in daydreams now just a word of heart that spoke he was silent for a long time until finally he tried to hug his mother's grave while leaning his head to the ground like a person again lying down until not felt he was asleep in his sleep,

On the other hand Syifa who saw her brother was not in the workshop became wondering in her mind and made her dare to go to her workshop

"Track where bang" asked Syifa to Andre who used to call him Brother

"I don't know where he was going to say nothing but I went to the grave, because before that he was pensive as if he thought of something" andre replied that made Syifa understand that her brother was in a bad condition

"Yes, thank you that I went there first" Syifa said again as she passed from the presence of Andre who was busy working

"Yoi" only that word came out of Andre's mouth without seeing Syifa's departure

"Randy's sister is beautiful too" said Benny who had just seen Syifa up close because he had never seen Syifa in person before

On the other hand, Randy who fell asleep on the grave of his mother did not feel that he had left his sister at home which made Syifa worried about him

"Randy you don't like that, son, have mercy on your sister she needs a figure like you if you like that continue to be what your sisters will be,

Don't be so sad about our departure here we're so happy to be the Randy we're hoping for" the voice surprised Randy from his deep sleep the voice was familiar to Randy's ears

Yes it was the voice of his mother who was present in Randy's dream that reminded him to always be strong to receive trials from God because now only he who is expected by his sisters he must be strong must not be The weak Randy who is always whiny under any circumstances.
