Being a Seductive Woman

MT 17: Visit the Tomb

After saying goodbye to Jackson, Alexa exited the apartment building to a bus stop not far from the apartment building. Alexa sits waiting for a bus or taxi to pass.

A car suddenly stops right in front of Alexa who is still waiting. After the windshield was opened, it was Jackson who immediately ordered Alexa to get into the car.

"Let's go up." Decree Jackson.

Without an answer, Alexa opened the back door of the car.

"Who told you to sit in the back?" Jackson. "Lo thinks I'm a driver."

Alexa smiled, opened the front door and sat down next to Jackson.

Along the way, the two chatted. Jackson asked about the origin of Alexa. Alexa started making up stories about her family.

"My parents are dead. I live in the village with my grandparents." Alexa.

"Mmmmm...." Reply Jackson.

Jackson's eyes turned to the bag of food in Alexa's lap.

"Not been thrown away either?" Ask Jackson again.

Alexa shook her head, "no, it's a pity that it's thrown away." Answer Alexa.

The two fell silent for a moment. Alexa suddenly shouted asking Jackson to stop.

"Stooop." Alexa Shouts.

Jackson suddenly braked.

"What's wrong?" Shouted Jackson annoyed.

"Hehehe, sorry Sir. Can you hold on a second, can't you?" Ask Alexa. "I want to give this food to that man." Alexa pointed to a man who worked as a janitor.

"Pocket." Jackson still said with an annoyed face.

Alexa smiled and rushed down to the two men who were putting garbage into the garbage truck. Alexa then handed over the two bags of food she had brought earlier to the two men.

From inside the car, Jackson could clearly see the happy faces of the two men

Alexa then got back in the car.

"Where are you going now? Home or....."

"In a moment, I'm down in front." Answer Alexa.

This morning, while buying food for Jackson, Alexa got a message about where his father's grave is.

Jackson's car stopped in front of a public funeral. Alexa got out of the car and thanked me.

"Thank you Sir. Be careful on the road." Alexa then walked into the cemetery without waiting for a response from the boss.

'Whose tomb will he visit? Are his parents?' jackson thought to himself.

Alexa entered the cemetery, there was a man who welcomed her. The man was the tomb guard. Alexa then asked where the grave of his father was.

"Excuse me Sir. Do you know where Mr Sanjaya's grave is?"

"Sir Sanjaya!" The tomb guards seemed to think. "Ah, yes. Come with me." Further.

The tomb guard said that he never once saw anyone who came to visit the tomb of Mr. Sanjaya since he was first buried in the cemetery.

"Where are you going? As a child, why never visited the graves of his parents."

Alexa looked down, there was a feeling of guilt in her heart. The day the father died, he was unable to embrace the body because he was immediately dragged by Robby, Jennie and Gea to be killed.

"I've been working abroad, sir. So I can never come." Alexa is lying.

The tomb guards nodded and understood Alexa's condition.

"Thank you, sir, for always looking after and cleaning my Papa's grave." Alexa.

"It's my duty as the keeper of the tomb."

Alexa then sat down and held the headstone of the Papa, whose name Sanjaya was already very difficult to read. Alexa stood up again.

"Sir, may I ask for help?" Ask Alexa.

"What's that?"

Alexa spent some money, asking the caretaker to buy sow flowers and rose water. Not to forget he gave a wage that was initially rejected by the tomb guard.

"Take this as my gratitude to you for taking good care of your grave." Alexa.

The tomb guard then went to buy Alexa sow flowers that are in the area outside the tomb fence. Alexa forgot to buy it.

Soon the tomb guard returned and found Alexa crying.

"Death is a sure thing that will be experienced by any human being on earth. Death is also the saddest thing when associated with a separation, both the separation between husband and wife, children and parents, even pets and employers. When separation has occurred, then the only thing that can be done is to let go." Tomb guards on Alexa.

"I miss my Papa." Reply Alexa with sobbing.

"When you miss, meet. For those who have died, have lost the hearing to hear and know those who long for them, to judge them, and to pray for them."

After saying that, the tomb guard parted and left Alexa.

The death of the Papa makes Alexa experience deep sadness. Moreover, at that time he could not see the Papa at all let alone to deliver to the final resting place.

So long Alexa prayed with tears that continued to pour out so fast that he finally attacked the incredible drowsiness and finally fell asleep in front of the papa navel. In his sleep, Alexa saw the papa's belly button split and his Papa was sitting in the navel complete with his shroud clothes and with the condition of shape and color as a human who has died. The situation frightened Alexa and triggered a cry.

The Papa said, “My son, why did you just come to visit my grave?”

Alexa answered her Papa's question with a goosebumping body and said, “Did Papa know of my arrival at Papa's navel?”

“Every day Papa is always waiting for your arrival. Papa's happiness in the grave is when you come to visit Papa and not only Papa who is happy, but the gravediggers around Papa are also happy to get a little happiness from your prayers and greetings,” said the Papa.

Alexa wakes up in a sweat that pours out as the tomb guards wake her up.

"Why sleep here, son?" Ask the tomb guards.

Alexa did not answer, she was still confused by what had just happened. Alexa rubbed her face with her palms and kissed Papa's headstone.

"Sir, I say goodbye first. Maybe in 2 or 3 days, I came back with a new headstone for my Papa's tomb. I hope you always take good care of my Papa's grave." Alexa.

"Of course." Reply to the tomb guard.

***************

At night, Alexa who was about to sleep was haunted by guilt because only now she visited the tomb of the Papa. Earlier this morning before returning to the apartment, he also took the time to visit his Mama's tomb which was different location with the tomb of the Papa.

Alexa cried again and apologized for coming to visit. He even explained to his mother what had happened to him all this time.

Alexa eventually fell asleep, and she returned to dreaming. This time, he dreams of meeting his mother.

"Ma, how is Mama's condition there?” ask Alexa.

“Keep in the know, death is a very difficult affair. But because of God's grace, Mama was placed in a very noble barzah and complete with roihan and other delights,” replied the Mama.

“Did Mama have a message for me?”, Ask Alexa again.

“Sure. Never stop to pray and pray for your mother. Mama is very happy because you came today, after so long never came. Every time you come, there is always a voice telling Mama that Mama's son has prayed for Mama. It makes Mama and the members of the grave around Mama very happy”, said the Mama.

Alexa fell asleep very soundly, the dream of meeting the mother made her sleep more comfortable. However, tears in fact flow when Alexa is in a position to sleep soundly.
