At night, the atmosphere of grief still enveloped the Papa residence. For the first time I entered the main residence of the Setyawan family without being greeted by the typical eastern-faced man.
'Ah, it is as people often say. If it's not going to be so felt that the presence of someone who leaves us is really valuable.'
There are many mourners who come to pray for Papa tonight. Even Mama also this time after dozens of know, for the first time he set foot back in the house that he had once lived with Papa. The look on Mama's face still radiated a deep sadness. Andrew tried to calm Mama down. While I chose to sit in the living room together with Merry as the guests one by one began to leave the Setyawan family home.
Me and Merry were just sitting together, because her husband, Hansen was talking to Jack who was also present at the Setyawan Family residence.
"How are you feeling?" Ask Merry.
"Honestly, my feelings are mixed. On the other hand, I was happy because my marriage with Andreas was finally done. On the other hand, I am also sad that on my wedding day Papa had to die tragically." My answer. "Is it possible that this was all because of my fault?" Now I ask back.
"Everything is destiny. Why do you have to blame yourself? It's not your fault at all. What's wrong is Arnold who has lost his own life. Whether it is intentional or not, he still came to your marriage from the beginning to kill someone. Or it could just be said that he intended to kill Andreas." Reply Merry. "I still remember, Lord Setyawan actually wanted to persuade Arnold not to act foolishly. However, because Arnold's basis is already emotional can not be persuaded. And you know for yourself how it goes." Merry continues.
As Merry said. I remember clearly that Papa was trying to seize the firearm Arnold was holding. However, somehow the story until the firearm can explode and hit Papa. Really, I never thought that this could happen.
After being satisfied chatting with Merry and he had to go home immediately, I walked into the living room. Meet with Jack who is also parting because he has to fly directly to the next city.
"Please be good. If anything happens, call me immediately." Jack.
"Just calm down Jack. I'm not a kid anymore. Anyway I've got a husband who can take care of me 24 hours." My reply.
"But to me, you're still my little brother." Jack said as he rubbed my head. "Then I'm leaving now. Give my regards to your husband. I'm sorry I couldn't see your husband because he seemed to be busy taking care of his mom." Continue Jack.
"I will extend your greetings to Andreas.," I replied.
Jack left and left me standing alone staring at the family room that turned out to be empty.
'Where did Andreas go?'
When I looked at the garden next to the house, Andreas was sitting with Mama. I also walked closer to them.
"Velicia, let's sit here." Say Mama.
I walked over and sat down next to Mama. I rubbed Mama's back gently. Andreas chose to go to another room.
"Mama can't believe all this is happening. Mama is not crying over Papa Setyawan's departure. But, Mama was just disappointed with everything that had happened. Why did it have to come like this?" Mama said with tears back in her eyes.
"Yes...."
"Arnold will definitely be severely punished. And just to imagine it, Mama is not strong. But what can be said, everything has happened. Andreas remains guilty, however. So he should have been punished." Continue Mama.
And tonight, we all decided to stay at the main house of the Setyawan family. The night that was supposed to be my bride's night, now it's like this. Andreas and I slept separately because I had to accompany Mama because Angelica did not want to stay at the house of someone who was not a member of her family.
**************
Morning's...
Andreas and I were in the car going to the police station to provide information as part of the police investigation into the shooting that caused Papa's death.
We finally arrived at the police station and entered the investigation room. Getting in there we started on a lot of questions about what happened. Calmly me and Andreas answered every question money was asked. After 1 hour, we were finally allowed to go home.
While exiting the investigation room, we accidentally met Arnold. I don't know why I became more and more compassionate when I saw his hands handcuffed. We stood face to face in the hallway of the police station. Arnold wanted to say something. However, the police immediately pulled him away to return to the cell.
'Arnold, if only you hadn't done all this. Now you must be in the middle of a foot barge in your house.'
Andreas said nothing and immediately pulled my hand out of the police station.
"Sad sorry for not being able to accompany you today. Today is the first day after we get married. I'm sorry." Andreas said as he entered the house.
"That's not why, dear. I understand the circumstances that are happening. Don't think too much about me. Take care of all the work you have to finish. Once that's done, we can have our own time." My reply.
Andreas nodded and smiled then hugged me. He kissed my forehead and walked to the door. However, he stopped right at the door of the house and turned to look at me.
"What's wrong?" My toot.
Instead of replying, Andreas instead directly approached me and kissed me strongly. This is our first kiss after marriage. At first Andreas did it gently. However, over time it became a little lustful. He won't even let me go for long.
"I love you, I love you..." Andreas kissed my whole face.
"Yes I know. Now go." My speech.
"One more time." Said Andreas then came back to kiss me full *****.
After feeling quite satisfied, Andreas then walked out the door.
"I can't wait for our bridal night. But for now, I can't. There's a lot of things I have to do. Wait a minute, and I'll take you on your honeymoon." Said Andreas who made my cheeks feel warm.
After Andreas left, I went back to the room and looked at my reflection in the mirror. I touched my lips that Andreas had kissed.
"Just kiss me I'm ashamed of this. How about..."
I laugh at myself when I imagine that happening. But for now, we have to postpone all the honeymoon agenda because it is still in mourning and Andreas also there is still a lot of work to be done.
Today I can only spend my time at home accompanying Mama who ultimately decided to stay with me with Andreas and Angelica at home. While my old house, I left it empty but it was taken care of by Bi Sumi and the other guards.
Mom and Angelica went out to shop. I stayed home and sat in front of the piano. For the first time, today after so long. I went back to playing the piano. Played my favorite song 'Sleep in the deep sea'.
Mama's shadow came back when I was a kid. It was as if she was sitting next to me and playing the piano with me. I closed my eyes and listened to the piano I was playing alone. The piano really calms me down.
'Ma. I am happy now...'
Mom and Angelica went home soon. We spent time together chatting while eating a fruit salad made by Mama.
"Hopefully, no more problems will befall our family. Especially to you, Velicia. Mama wants you and Andreas to live happily ever after. To have offspring and...."
Mama's words stopped, like Mama realized that Mama had spoken wrongly.
"I'm sorry Mama...."
"It's okay Ma. It is precisely I who apologize for not being able to give grandchildren to Mama. I wish Mama could..."
"That's dear. It doesn't matter if you don't have children. Most importantly, you can live happily. Mama can get a granddaughter from Angelica." Say Mama.
"What the hell is that, by the way. Marriage is not yet." Reply Angelica.
"Yes. But someday you'll get married too." Reply Mama.
"Just as for Mama." Said Angelica while returning to the focus of eating the fruit salad.
My lips can smile from the outside. But honestly, in my heart I was disappointed in myself for not being able to give Andreas any offspring. I can only hope for a miracle.
Seriate....
