An Election Seeking the Path of Happiness

Chapter 33

They sat down with Auntie and the niece giving each other a longing, "Risma how are you, son?" ask Amara her aunt. "I'm a good aunt," Pause "germs about my marriage__ bad story long." Risma's breathing was choked to her heart given how Anton was treated at the time. "Is your marriage a problem, son?" asked Amara who immediately swiftly embraced her nephew. "Well, let's put it this way, I'd better introduce you to a aunt's son Siska."

Risma scrunched her forehead then wondered, "Tante has a child?" risma asked while tilting her head. "Yes, he attended the National University of Education here. Aunt's husband died of brain cancer so Aunt's taking care of aunt's husband's business." Risma was very unexpected all this time her aunt left because she wandered without news.

"Yaudah, if you want our story to aunty's house." Risma nodded then she took Karina but Amara instead held Karina while kissing her with anxiety. In the car Risma was silent but Amara opened the conversation, "Ris your son is there a bullet?" ask Amara. "Yes Aunty," Risma spoke awkwardly because she was not ready to tell the grievous story of the past where her household was formed due to compulsion.

Arriving at Amara's house, Risma was very awkward to step into his house very recommend there are Balinese statues as well as gazebos shaped archway that makes it very beautiful, which makes it very beautiful, although Amara is a Muslim, she still respects her servants who are native Balinese and even let them worship according to their beliefs. "It's aunty's house" said Amara with a smile he was holding Karina who was apparently very comfortable in his grandmother's arms.

Amara and Risma spoke while Karina was busy playing a Balinese musical instrument that was on display in the house, "Risma I'm sorry about asking you about your household. I didn't know you were married." Amara has a disappointed and sad face. Risma touched her aunt's hand and then started telling her stories. Amara initially seemed angry when her husband Risma jerk but after the incident at the hospital Amara immediately gave advice to his nephew.

"Risma__You better give your husband a chance, please don't think about ego. Think about Karina needing a father figure by her side everyone's ever done a khilaf." Amara gave advice to Risma who actually from the past Amara did not like Yukita Konawa, but she did not like it, the relationship between the two women was filled with chaos from the past because Yukita who always felt right and did not want to listen to the advice of others.

"Back with Anton?" Risma was silent she knew that even her heart felt sliced when she cursed Anton. "But what about Kirana my daughter who was killed?" Risma is still vengeful because all this time she was always hot-panned by Yukita Konawa.

"Son, Kirana's calm please don't reveal your daughter again. Forgive your husband, put hate in your heart think not until Karina fared the same as you were raised by a single parent." Unknowingly Amara shed sincere tears remembering how her late brother lived Risma alone.

"I can't get Okaasan to keep me from coming back with Anton" he said. Amara shakes her head, "don't think of your mother, think of Karina and your happiness." Amara touched the hand of her nephew who had not seen her for a long time. They stared at each other until there was a girl who had just finished college.

"Mama, I'm home."

"Asallamualaikum cake, this even yells richly in the forest."

"Yes sorry."

"Who is this?" siska asked who saw the Japanese woman.

"Your cousin" Amara told her only daughter.

"Well! is there Japanese ancestry in our family?" siska asked in surprise and confusion.

"Your uncle was married to a Japanese man" explained Amara. The cute girl was just joh-oh not long before she saw a child who was playing a musical instrument. "Well, this is child-" Pause "so cute white eyes green color." Risma only smiled and shook her head as her cousin kissed her daughter with anxiety.

Karina refused the sign of unwillingness, "Siska don't!" amara's orders took over Karina. "You rest."

"Well Aunt I have to go home scared, Okaasan is looking for me."

"She be careful, son."

In the apartment Risma could not avoid the slurs of Mrs Konawa's question. "Where are you?" asked but Risma taught to be honest by her mother finally without further ado, Risma told everything including meeting Amara. The look on Yukita's face changed and the Japanese woman told her daughter to enter the room.

This morning a girl was pensively alone on the balcony of the house she did not know what to do because her life became exhausted because a karma turned on her, "Lisi." His twin brother walked over. "Have you not thought Papa, Brother Anton, kak Gani'll find out who pe*kosa amu." It was as if her twin sister named Lisa understood about this feeling of her twin sister.

"Lisa the cave is going to Kirana's tomb." Lisi's request to her twin sister. "Yes, but we're allowed to be with Mama." Lisi only nodded in agreement and then the two brothers went to see his mother who was reading a magazine.

"Yes, but be careful." Clara looked at her two daughters and gave her permission to go to her grandson's grave.

Lisa and Lisi went to her niece's grave in a black car shortly before it occurred to her in front of the tomb gate, Lisa and Lisi went down the path without stopping Lisi's tears coming out as she stepped on the path.

Look at the tiny headstone that stands sweet with the name of their nephew, do not forget there is always a flower on the tomb that looks like Anton was very diligent in visiting the tomb of his daughter. Lisi crouched beside the grave of his nephew which he always despised when in the womb of his sister-in-law, his hand rubbed the tombstone and then his cry broke when he felt the pain of a karma given by God.

"### ### Kirana...hiks...pardon Aunt...hiks...tante promise...hiks....after meeting your mother..hiks...if you need to prostrate at the feet of Risma." Sounds and cries mixed into one very sounding bitter because he justifies the words of his best friend who time insulted his sister-in-law in front of the minimarket Karma was there and it feels very painful.
