Because of the Trash

Because of the Trash
I'm Coming



Two days after Akhtar's funeral and tonight, it was the last night of tahlilan at his parents' house.


Ayu had finished class at 1pm this afternoon, she now has a private driver who was given by Mama Diva.


"Non, why the funeral?" ask Mr. Jajang-Yu's personal driver.


"Yes, Sir. Want to see the empty land," Ayu replied jokingly.


"Ih, the Non-Attoman. Even talking about it!" mr. Jajang's nagging looked at Ayu from the rearview mirror while Ayu only laughed.


The car stopped at a parking lot available at TPU not far from the cemetery, Ayu had bought flowers first.


Because, florists will be crowded in TPU will be right before Ramadan arrives. In fact, there is no command that the pilgrimage of the grave is only done because of Ramadan alone.


"Sir, wait a minute, yes," said Ayu to take her flowers and put down her sling bag earlier.


"Good, Non. Don't be long, yes, "remember Pak Jajang and immediately embraced by Ayu. He went out and walked to the cemetery.


He was looking for the name of someone who is most loved and hated today, mounds of land that are still filled with flowers and names written on boards that were upheld there to decorate it.


Ayu's legs immediately weakened, her who had tried to be strong was still unable to withstand the crying.


Holding a board that read the man's name trembling, Ayu leaned her head against the board.


"K-why, anyway? Why did you go anyway Tar? Hahaha, you said you wanted to tell me the same story, right? Go, story! Let's talk, let's talk about marriage. Don't have to finish college, don't papa, come on!"


"You know what, Tar? The most painful miss is when you miss someone whose body you can no longer afford! And you ... managed to make me feel that pain!"


"Let's wake up Tar! Live even if it's just a dream, you don't even play to my dream. Wh why? You scared? You're ashamed because you're a coward, aren't you? Ha?"


A few seconds later, Ayu collapsed in tears. He slightly curled up to the ground filled with the flowers.


Ingestion of long breath and wipe tears with hands that have been dirty due to grasping the ground.


Ayu put flowers also sprinkled flowers on the ground that covered her loved ones, "Sorry, yes, I came late," Ayu said with a shiny liquid that came out of her living cavity.


"Gue guess, with a little late coming will make me strong later meet you. Uh, it turns out I was wrong. I still cry, how is Tar? Oh, yeah, Papa I'm getting married again. Beuh .. you can not tease tuh dong parents, old age married again while you married not yet. My grandfather also died, Tar. Hahaha, same dong kek you."


Ayu stared around the cemetery, "Many of your friends, huh, Tar? It was also on the other end that someone had just died, a lot of really. Later, where am I dong Tar? Full, this is where I see it. Beside you, there are also people. Where will I be, dong? Tar.... Who will protect me again? Who's gonna treat you to hypo below? Tar ... hiks .. hiks .. hiks."


Ayu could no longer tell the story, she hugged her knees and buried her face for a few minutes.


After feeling better, he put his face back on the board with the name of the man.


"You're happy, aren't you Tar? Same, I am too. I hope you get the best place by His side and be with the people who are sholeh."


Ayu offered a hand and sent a prayer to Akhtar, though it should not have been necessary in the presence of the man's grave directly.


However, he also always sends prayers to finish carrying out the obligations as well as the sunnah.


Swiped Ayu the board several times, breathing heavily and rising from his seat earlier.


Dirty soil mixed with sand was not cared for by the woman anymore, she remained sitting there to be able to tell stories with loved ones.


Mr. Jajang immediately opened the door, in fact he was called by Mama Diva because of Ayu who why could not go home too.


He told and was immediately ordered to bring Ayu home from there, but because he saw Ayu who was pouring out his sadness.


Mr. Jajang could not bear and chose to wait in front of the car, "Non, we go straight home, yes. Madam was already nyariin," explained Mr. Jajang before closing the back bench door.


Ayu just stared blankly at the front and nodded, Mr. Jajang immediately closed the door and entered the driver's seat.


About 35 minutes, finally the car that brought Ayu to the front of the house owned by Diva, "Honey, where are you from?" ask Mama Diva and hug Ayu.


Ayu immediately cried so much in the middle-aged woman's arms, she immediately panicked to see the grandson who was treated like his own child crying like never before.


"What's wrong? What's the matter, honey?" he asked frantically and cupped Ayu's face.


"Wish to go to the tomb of Grandpa, Grandpa," said Ayu with a sob.


"Jaudah, later we will go there together, yes," he persuaded and wiped away the tears on Ayu's cheeks.


Ayu nodded, "Yaudah, let's go yuk!" invite her with a smile and embrace Ayu inside.


"Where's your sister, Grandma?" tanya Ayu circulated a staring gaze looking for the person who would usually always be on the sofa with a flat face.


"Go out of town, baby. Well, he just happened to be out of town. The day after tomorrow, we're going to Grandpa's grave, yeah."


"Yee .. okay, Grandma!" exclaim the happy Ayu. However, there is a sense of regret for not being able to attend to see his grandfather for the last time due to Angga who did not tell it.


However, Ayu also can not be angry because there must be a reason why Angga does not want to tell it to him.


"Judah, you go up first and we eat, yes."


"Okay, Grandma!"


Ayu climbed the stairs to the room she had left for quite a long time. He and Angga occasionally still communicate.


But, Ayu never first contact Angga always Angga first. Not the intention of wanting to be pretentious or anything, only he did not want to interfere with Angga's activities later.


[Darling, tomorrow you can come to Auntie's house? Someone wants Aunt to talk to you about Akhtar before he leaves]


One message that was about 16 minutes sent was just read by Ayu, he was a little surprised by the contents of the message from Caca.


[Good, Aunt. Tomorrow after returning from campus, Ayu will go directly there] reply Ayu quickly and immediately turn off the data.


He came out of the room and met Grandma who was already at the dining table, "Mr," called Ayu and sat down on one of the benches.


"Yes?" asked Grandma by looking at Ayu while her hands were busy filling the food on her plate.


"Tomorrow, may, yes. Ayu to the house of Aunt Caca, just a moment, Nek," persuaded Ayu to weld with his hands in front of the chest.


Ayu's grandmother seemed to think for a moment, then a nod was given to Ayu who made the child excited and immediately embraced the woman's body, "Content, Grandma!" exclaim Ayu happy.
