Eternal Love Death

Arjuna stood at the tomb of the woman who gave birth to him. Love hismself unconditionally, even more than love himself. A woman who fought hard for himself. Two days ago the angel of death was picked up. As if God knew that his mother was tired, then her life in this cruel world was over.

Three years of struggling without any human help to support them. Insults, insults accompany the steps. Not infrequently Arjuna also received bad treatment because he did not have a father figure in his life. His mother was accused of being a seducer's widow. Even though a beautiful appearance is not a requirement to make someone a seducer. It's not hks mother's fault if she is blessed with extraordinary beauty. It is her destiny to be a beautiful woman, the negative of the Almighty.

Arjuna often fights to defend his mother's good name. He doesn't want to be like he used to be, being a coward in silence when his mother is insulted. Indiscriminately, he beats anyone who dares to say anything bad about his mother. Whether it's a child his age, a little older than him, or even a woman's parents. Once he threw dog shit at a woman who said bad things about her mother. As a result, Arjuna was beaten with a broom handle by the victim who was assisted by several women because of it. Instead of being deterred or afraid, he even threatened with a sentence full of emphasis.

"I'll kill you all!!"

Although still small, Arjuna's strength is quite strong. It seemed impossible for a child his age. Until, one day, many residents complained about Arjuna's misbehavior, which was actually the trigger, to Maurasika.

So, his mother advised him to always be patient. Arjuna refuted with a sentence that made any mother touched.

"Arjun can endure anything, Ma. Hunger, thirst, beating, cold, you name it. But, I can't stand it when Mama is insulted. Arjun can't take it."

If that was the case, Maurasika would hug Arjuna, kiss the boy's forehead and say thank you, then kiss the boy's cheek again.

"Arjun is mama's strength."

"Mama is also the source of Arjun's strength. Don't leave Arjun, okay?"

"I won't, Son. As long as you are still breathing, you will always be with Arjun."

But now, Maurasika is gone. Exactly three years after her mother's divorce from the man she promised to be her eternal enemy. He was alone. Have no one. His father's family, namely his uncle and aunt, did not want to take care of him. Maurasika has an older brother, but doesn't care. When he was still alive, Maurasika had asked for help, but was flatly refused because his brother's wife was not happy that Arjuna's eldest uncle was related to her husband's family.

Arjuna's tears melted like a flowing river. He didn't want to be alone, but he couldn't get rid of the loneliness either.

We don't know where else he should go. These two days he even spent more time in the cemetery. Waiting for his mother. It is clear that the dead, leaving the world will never live again in the world. There will be a time when you will be resurrected.

Far from where Arjuna mourned for his mother, hundreds of kilometers from his city, Hilal was struggling with the documents he had to sign. Having several clothing distributions with the name Crescent, makes him often busy. Not to mention the supermarket he manages in his hometown. He plans to return home within five years. Missing his hometown, family and the woman he still loves very much.

"I'm going to meet Arjun, and introduce myself as his mother's best friend. Ah, what are they doing? I also have to be friends with Yosi. This is proof of my love and sincerity."

So far, all he knew about Maurasika and his son was a good thing. No one had heard the truth about the two of them. His cousin often communicated by phone or occasionally sent letters. It is never told about the letter from Maurasika. His cousin even manipulated a letter from Maurasika. Read the letter but not according to the content.

Maurasika, the girl who became his first love. They first met in a hut near a river on the outskirts of town. They both unwind from school. After school, stop by there first. Little did he know, they were in the same sub-district, just different environments. Maurasika is in neighborhood V, while Hilal lives in neighborhood VII. Their acquaintance and closeness started from the hut where they rested before returning home, when they were still in the second grade of high school.

Until, one day Hilal decided to apply, even though he did not have a permanent job. However, he had been contracted for two years to become a tailor in a factory. He will save the money for capital to marry and open a business. That was the plan at the time.

Maurasika accepted the proposal, of course. They love each other. Both families have agreed to marry Maurasika to Hilal in two years.

However, Yosi's mother asked Maurasika's parents to marry her son in order to pay off the debt, exactly a month before Hilal's contract at the factory ended, which meant that it was close to Hilal's time to formalize their relationship in marriage.

Dilemma. Maurasika wanted to refuse, but couldn't. For the sake of her devotion to her parents, she gave up her love. She couldn't stop thinking about Yosi's way of thinking. It was clear that Yosi knew that she and Hilal were lovers.

At that time, Maurasika was branded a traitor by Hilal's family. Forbidden to be seen by the woman's face. She was sure, Hilal did not hate her. However, she also knew that Hilal was very heartbroken. Even so, Hilal still came to her wedding. Pray for her and her husband. Hilal could never hate Maurasika. Not just a lover, Maurasika is his best friend. Support it from scratch. It is not Maurasika's fault that they are not married. That's what Hilal said to his family. Even Hilal gifted their marriage by giving all the proceeds of the savings that he would use to propose to Maurasika.

"I will not marry other than you, I have sworn long ago, Maura. So, if you are a widow, I beg you, come back to me." The sentence he said when he said goodbye to go wander.

Maurasika happened to be at her parents' house. Hilal met Maurasika there, by accident. Even though he only intended to say goodbye to his former prospective in-laws.

At that time, Maurasika just smiled, sadly. Her heart ached, she wanted to cry but it wasn't good, because she had become someone else's wife. Either way, she knows her limits. She had sinned to offend this good man, not wanting to create a new sin in any other way.

"I'm sorry, Maura. Take care of yourself. Let me know when my nephew is born, okay?"

Maurasika had nothing to say, she just nodded.

"I don't play with my words. Would you come back if——?"

"You're praying for the bad,"

Hilal laughed bitterly. Realize stupidity. But he was really serious about it.
