Bride Shadow

Aunty

Seventeen hours long journey from Jakarta to London made Mitha feel very tired. His body feels sore, but it does not dampen his spirit to immediately meet the mother even though only the remains. He had ignored his dream of boarding a plane, taking pictures in London or other empty dreams that he had arranged from far away the previous day. Everything had evaporated with the grief that had grieved his heart and soul.

A luxury limousine approached as they reached the airport lobby. A uniformed man with his hat came running up to them with a handsome black-clothed bule who immediately embraced the longing Eagle.

"Ahh..kakak.thank goodness you came in time. Let's go home, an hour later the aunty will be buried. And he.." the man looked at Mitha intensely then smiled as he extended his hand.

"You must be Paramitha, right? aunty's told me a lot about you. Right, you're so pretty. I'm Richard Eagle's cousin." he introduced himself. Mitha shook her hand in doubt. His eyes continued to be directed at the Eagle who was acting indifferent. Apparently yesterday's events are really still in his mind.

"It's good to see you, Brother Richard." Mitha replied politely. Richard laughed lightly as he opened the door for them.

"Call me Richard. You're my brother's wife." - Richard's wife again. Mitha just nodded, trying to smile even though she had to. The sadness has gone. There was also no reaction from the Eagle when there was an interaction between two different human children in the genre. The man pursed his lips tightly with a glare. His body may be here, but not with his heart and mind. It was like he was in another dimension.

"How are you doing." he asked very softly like he was muttering. Richard who was in the front seat close to their family driver immediately turned his head.

"Auncle Abi..still in a coma." he replied no less shrewdly than the Eagle. Mitha's blood seemed to be being absorbed.

"What ..what happened to papa?" The eagle looked over, a moment later his face became very sad.

"Papa's been in a coma since yesterday." and Mitha again cried sobbing. Tears flooded the smooth cheeks typical of the Asian woman. The eyes are back. He has no idea who his parents are. All she knows is Abi and Mariah are her parents. The one who has poured all his love into him. His parents and in-laws. All the good memories with them come back.

"Come down, we have arrived." Richard's voice cut off the couple's grief. The eagle opened the side door and then went down followed by his wife. The atmosphere of haru was immediately felt as the two set foot in the mansion of elder brother Hans.

Some mourners who came and were business colleagues Eagle saluted and said the word bela sungkawa. The eagle continued to walk towards the main hall until he met the grandfather who sat pensively beside the coffin of his eldest daughter, Maria. Occasionally the man wiped his watery eyes. Besides, Malika, her youngest daughter, Richard's mother faithfully danced her.

"Opa.." the old man immediately raised his head. The eagle hugged her very tightly, spilling all the sadness in her heart. His wrinkled hands caressed the grandchildren's head.

Maria's funeral procession proceeded quickly on a special estate belonging to the Larsens family. Larsens' entire family, who specifically bought land in addition to a public cemetery for his family. All the mourners have gone home. All that remained were the nuclear family and the bodyguards. Grandfather Hans approached his eldest grandson, stroking his shoulders.

"Pray your mama and then we'll get out of here." The eagle looked at his grandfather's face. Was the man not saddened by the passing of his mother? why should I tell her to leave quickly when she still wants to mourn the passing of the woman who gave birth to her.

"We have to take care of your papa. Grandfather didn't want Maria to be unsettled in nature there because grandfather ignored his last message."

Degh's...

The eagle immediately stood up from its squatting position. He grabbed Paramitha's arm back to stand with her.

"Let's go, Grandpa" he said firmly. Grandfather Hans looked straight at the Eagle and preceded everyone's steps. Richard and his mother led the old man to his car, followed by Eagle and Mitha.

"Is papa's condition so bad?" everyone was silent hearing the Eagle's question. Like something was hidden.

"Then who's been accompanying papa these past two days?" The eagle immediately felt worried thinking about the troubled heart condition of his papa without pendampimg as he lay helpless in a country far from its origin.

"Mama who always accompanied uncle kak." this time Richard's voice that broke the tension. Malika was surprised by it.

"Aunty....????" repeat the eagle while turning his eyes to the aunt.

"It's just because the aunty doesn't work as formally as the Lang brand. Don't get me wrong." Somehow Malika looks worried about the mere son of her puppet. His body gesture also looked nervous as he gave the excuse earlier. Unfortunately the Eagle is still not fully aware of the changes that occur in the look on the face of the aunt.

"I'm so grateful to you aunty." replied the Short Eagle. After that, only silence was felt. No talks took place until they arrived at the hospital yard where Abhimanyu was being treated.
