If Love Could Choose
Reality

Yunia woke up a few hours later. Looking out the window, it was still dark...

"What time is this?" Ask yourself. His eyes were directed towards the wall clock that was above the entrance of the room. Almost five o'clock ...

Following habits... After looking at the clock, his eyes would lead to a calendar hanging on the wall beside his bed. Make sure what day it is now, and look at the footnotes on that calendar to remind, there is a replay or engagement at school. Grade 12 children, almost every day there is a repetition...🤦

"Yes! Aman." His heart said, when I found nothing on that day. Yunia flicked the blanket, walked out of the room to immediately fetch some ablution water.

Out of the room, which was seen first was Bayu who was sitting smoking in a long chair, while a glass of coffee that lived half a glass was flattened on a small table next to him.

"Mas Bayu...? How come he's here?" Mumbled wonder. His brain is working. Looking around the room, up from the door to the back room, Yunia saw several neighboring mothers were busy concocting something while having a slow conversation. "Kok, what a rame?" His mind. Thinks....

"Mr!" His exclamation suddenly half-screamed, as his brain managed to connect to the memory box. Suddenly Yunia ran to the front room, where her body was still lying waiting to be buried.

His appeal managed to shock the people who were at home at that time. Soon Bayu, uncle, Vishnu and Mr. Winoto who happened to be sitting around there approached. Followed by Bik Sumi and Bu Winoto walking half-run from behind, the others just stared and watched Yunia from where they were.

"Yun.. istighfar...." Persuade Bik Sumi while embracing the shoulder of Yunia who had kneeled beside the body of the father while crying sobbing.

"I thought it was all a nightmare, but this is. father..." Adu Yunia on Bik Sumi while hugging her tightly.

"Patience, nduk... Relieve your father, God willing, your father Khusnul khatimah..." Said Bu Winoto while hugging Yunia.

"Your mother used to go... Now you go... then who am I?" Yunia said again while crying.

"You still have us... We're your family now..." Mr. Winoto said, making Yunia look at him. Mr. Winoto's speech brought Yunia to another reality... Vishnu...! Unknowingly, his eyes were looking for Vishnu.

That's her! Standing somewhat behind her father, she was staring at Yunia worriedly. For a moment they both looked at each other. Until Bayu memdehem reminded.

"Ehem... Ehem..."

Yunia's eye reflex directed at Bayu, but half a second later immediately threw away her face in embarrassment. While Vishnu immediately wagged Bayu's shoulder upset. The one who was gripped laughed was being held back, while the others were just bobbing their heads at their behavior.

"Yunia is praying?" Winoto's mother asked. Yunia shakes.

"Not yet, Mom." He said as he got up from the floor.

"Come, pray first. pray for your mother and father..." Bik Sumi's Order. This time Yunia nodded then stepped into the back room for ablution.

The funeral procession went well. The uncle and aunt representing Yunia hosted, prepared everything necessary for the procession, as well as welcomed the guests who came to offer their condolences.

Yunia's schoolmates arrive after school hours. They came in groups, accompanied by some teachers. Apparently the news of his death had spread in the school.

"Where do you know about my father?" Yunia asks Santi, Roses and Listi, her classmates and best friends.

"From Si Nunug's..." Santi replied while pointing at Nugraha, their classmate.

"Yes, he said he was informed by his Bulik who lived near here..." Connect Listi. Yunia listened while hiding her grin, worried that not only was the news of their deaths heard, but also the news of her marriage.

"May they really do not know and not pretend not to know." he said in his heart.

Fortunately, until their visit ended, no one mentioned it. Yunia's female friends even had time to steal a glance towards Vishnu and Bayu...

"Who is he, Yun?" they whispered, pointing with the tail of his eyes. Yunia grimaced to understand the meaning of their view...

"Em.. that's Vishnu and Bayu..." Answer Yunia

"...at the gemana emong?" ask other friends who do not understand...

"Yes, right gini. Yunia's parents used to have foster children......" The rose immediately explained about Vishnu and Bayu to other friends with knowledge.

Yes, Yunia did have time to tell a few times about her two adoptive brothers to her friends.

"Your sister's cute..." Praise Santi who was directly in yes by others.

"Have you got a pair, not yet?"

"Indeed, the truck..." as others chimed in, which was immediately greeted by the laughter of his friends.

"Where, Yun...?" chase Santi. Not caring about his friend's plunge.

"Uda..." Yunia replied while holding back a laugh.

"Ah ... You are not cool." said Santi again with a tone of blame.

"Lohs?! how am I not cool?" Tanya Yunia knows.

"Since, have your cute sister diem aja. turn already have a new appointed..." Santi complained that he immediately greeted the laughter of his friends. Yunia laughed when she heard it.

Some time Yunia rejoiced with her friends, until they said goodbye, and brought some of the joy with them.

Loneliness and the awareness that the father has not accompanied him back covers his heart.

Yunia was sitting on the floor, in the carpeted front room. For a while, the guest chair had been moved into the room. Because this front room will be used for tahlilan events for up to 6 days.

His hands toyed with his cell phone, looking back at pictures of him with his father. Her chest felt tight, Yunia needed to take a deep breath several times to be able to relieve her heart.

"What's wrong, Yun?" Ask Bayu, who knew already was sitting nearby.

"Eh? not doing anything...." Yunia answered while lifting her face from the phone. "What's wrong?" Yunia asked when she saw Bayu's facial expression that was like she wanted to say something.

"Emmm giny... Actually I feel the time is not right, but want to reverberate again..." Bayu stop for a second.

"Yun. I'm sorry, I and mom want to go home first..." Continue Bayu.

"Cock fast?" Yunia asked as if she objected.

"Yes.. was actually the original plan, we were going home yesterday afternoon.but because of that incident..." Sahut Bayu hangs. Yunia nodded in understanding.

"Just Bayu and mom? Father and Lord Vishnu...?

"Say, I will stay until the end of seven days.if Vishnu, I don't know for sure, the echo of his plan."

"Kok hingga later, along with dad, that's..." Yunia tried to hold back.

"I want a test, as well as representing the father and Vishnu take care of the work... If mother... emmm... there is Sabina...." Until here Bayu is a bit hesitant to talk. He's afraid of wrong talk.

"Ah, yes... Sabine..." One other thing that brought Yunia to a new reality... Sabine... She is now the mother of a child named Sabina...
