The funeral went well with grief. Denis seems devastated by the death of his mother. Meanwhile, Cantika is seen next to Denis, but just silent, she shows no deep sadness.
Neighbors continued to show their condolences to Denis and Cantika. The flower arrangement from Denis' office has been plastered in front of the house. Until the afternoon, the mourners alternated to the funeral home.
After a quiet atmosphere, Surya and I approached Denis, not caring about Cantika who saw me and Surya. I don't know, when grieving like this he still put forward his own ego.
"Denis, we're sorry for your mother's passing. May his worship be received by His side. The stoic Denis," I said softly, patting him on the shoulder.
He nodded without being able to say much. Just a thank you with an almost inaudible voice came out of his mouth. Surya greeted Denis, stroking his arm to mourn. Cantika was down when Surya and I experienced her.
We went home after night. Tomorrow, Mama will return to the house considering Denis and Cantika do not have a companion to be invited to negotiate. Of course I will not be silent, my intention is to help them as much as I can.

My plan to go to Germany was delayed again, but it's okay, Denis needs help about a week ahead, a lot to prepare. The arrival of a neighbor to send a prayer also requires the preparation of a treat, lasting at least seven days. Pity him for thinking about it. Moreover, his wife could not be invited to think about the problem, she instead added to the problem.
I ordered more food than the total number of Denis neighbors. I delivered her to Denis' house every afternoon, so she no longer needed to think about the price to order or make it. Every time I came, Cantika was still silent a thousand languages, but it was enough that she wanted to put food in the cardboard. Sometimes I glanced at him, looking at his sour face.
Until the seventh day, Cantika complained of nausea, she could not join in praying for her mother-in-law, just staying in the room. Occasional vomiting was heard, making us uncomfortable with the neighbors, but they seemed to understand.
"I'm sorry, gentlemen, my wife is just pregnant, so the inn is so," Denis told the prayers.
"Oooohhhhhhh..." Serempak they nodded understandably.
Mama tried to give Cantika a warm drink, it helped her to relieve her nausea and it seemed like her nausea had stopped, because I did not hear her vomit anymore.
"Indeed, this is early tri wulan, so you still feel nauseous. It's nothing" Mama assured the limp Cantika at the time.
May the drugs she took to abort her baby have no effect on her womb, I hope.
Surya picked me and Mama up when the seventh night ended.
"Thank you, Ma, Val, Surya. Without you, I might be confused about how to hold this event" Denis said in the living room as we cleaned the dishes and glasses.
"It's important everything goes well, Denis," said Mama stroking Denis' arm.
Denis's eyes glazed over, either haru or remembered his late mother. I turned my attention to Surya so as not to see him cry. Ga.
"Only God can answer, Ma" Denis said at the end.
"You don't have to think about it, Denis. Oh yes, Cantika is sleeping. If nausea ain't nothing, it's natural. You don't need to be confused, do you?" Mom's Message.
Denis nodded.
We say goodbye to leaving them alone in this house.

The sun rises when I wake up from my sleep, squirming my body, stretching my muscles. Today is Sunday, I folded the blanket and got out of bed. Meet Mama who has been fighting in the kitchen with Bik Nah.
"Val, are you awake?" Ask Mama while putting tomatoes in her cooking.
"Udah, Mom. Hmmmm... It smelled fragrant, so I wanted to rush to eat," I said as I hugged Mama from behind.
"Eh, abis wake up and take a shower first," said Mama while stirring her cooking.
"Yes, yeah."
I grabbed the towel and headed straight to the bathroom. The splash of water refreshes my body which is still carried by the lazy aroma in the morning becomes excited.
Breakfast with Papa and Mama whetted my appetite. A plate of rice with tomato soup, fried chicken side dish and sambal.
Suddenly my gauntlet rang.
"Hello, what's the matter with you?" I haven't even received his phone, he's been playing sambar.
"Abis eat, how?" lightly answer.
"You don't want me to take the road somewhere" he asked excitedly.
"Where the hell?" Askaqua.
"Well, will you?"
"Forced. Yes, yes."
"The one forced to do it too, right? I'll pick you up at 11, okay?" His speech.
"Yes." Yeah."
I hung up the phone and packed the dirty dishes on the table as usual.
At 11 o'clock, we heard a car in front of the house. Papa greeted him on the terrace.
"Well, there's Surya, here in. That's, Valeria's inside."
"Yes, Om," Surya kisses Papa's hand and enters the house.
I was standing in the living room, he came in and smiled at me standing up, and I asked to sit down.
"Sit down, just sit down, I'm in" I said.
"Eh, no need to make a drink, yes" he said.
"Whoever wants to make a drink, I want to change clothes" I said teasingly.
He looks grunted, I giggle.
"Eh... Surya," Mama approached him.
"Yes, Aunt. At home, Auntie?" Surya said to mince words and kissed Mama's hand.
"Yes. Where are you going again? I love it at home, where are you going?" Ask Mama.
"You need to go for a walk, Auntie." said Surya.
Finally I finished changing into a pair of jeans and a light blue t-shirt. Combing my hair and tying it up, because the weather was so hot today. It'll be really hot if I get my hair.
"Yuk," asked me in front of Mama and Papa who turned out to have been sitting in the living room with Surya.
Surya nodded, "Om, Auntie, me and Valeria go first, huh?"
"Yes, be careful on the road?" Mom's Message.
"Yes, Om, Aunt."
We entered Surya's car, this time a song was playing as we were about to go.
Nothing's Gonna Change My Love For You - George Benson.
"Where are you going?" Askaqua.
"Udah, come along" he said with a smile.
While following her direction, I enjoyed the journey along the way. In the middle of the road, Surya turned to the minimarket, buying some drinks and small food. After that the car returned to speed is heading to a place that I also do not know the destination.
