Canticles

102. Thank you Mysterious Woman

Since Martin was reburied at his request, Lilian no longer had nightmares. Rex didn't see the shabby pocong sighting anymore. Now the brothers can return to their usual routine.

On Sunday morning, he was seen busy at Ramon's house. Apparently he and his family were preparing to go visit their relatives in Karawang area. Rex initially refused to come because he felt he did not know his relatives. But finally Rex agreed to come along because he obeyed the advice of the brother who said if they needed a little refreshing.

Jakarta Karawang trip is fun for Ramon family.

Ramon, Rex and Lilian took turns driving because of their unhurried departure so they could be a little relaxed in driving.

" What the hell is famous in Karawang city Well...?" lillian asked as she stared at the highway in front of her.

" As you remember, Karawang is a city that has been visited by Bung Karno and Bung Hatta before they proclaimed independence. In addition Karawang is also the largest food producing city in Indonesia, you know Kak.., "sahut Ramon while leaning on the back of a chair next to his wife.

" That's it, Dad...?" ask Lilian.

" In addition Karawang is also famous for its culinary tour Kak..," said Rex while closing his eyes.

" It is also the title of one of the famous poems by Chairil Anwar you know Children, "the word Lanni reminds to make Rex and Lilian turn and smile.

" Yes Ma'am.," said Lilian and Rex together.

" We get to Yah..," Lilian said, parking the car next to other cars in a field reserved exclusively for parking.

" We go down now yuk..," asked Ramon, who is owned by his wife and two children.

Then Ramon brought his small family into the house that was holding the celebration. They were greeted with enthusiasm. After shaking hands with the bride and their parents, Ramon and her family are welcome to taste the dishes served at the table.

While eating Ramon approached two men who turned out to be friends of Ramon and his son.

" You look different Ramon." said Wardi.

" Ordinary. How are you and your friends...?" ask Ramon.

" Alhamdulillah We are good. Oh yeah, this is my son. He's a culinary entrepreneur and owns several restaurants in the city. You need to know if the food at this event all came from my son's restaurant..," said Wardi proudly.

Ramon smiles and introduces his little family to Wardi.

" This is your son...?" ask Wardi while staring in admiration towards Lilian.

" yes. She only works as a nurse at a small Hospital in Jakarta." said Ramon.

" No problem. When he becomes my son-in-law, we make sure he will turn into a princess..," said Wardi, who continued to look at Lilian with a look of adoration.

Realizing that Wardi and his son are interested in Lilian, Lanni begins to worry. He looked at Ramon who seemed to smile at Wardi's 'offer.

" But unfortunately my son already has a prospective husband and will get married soon. God willing We will invite you to attend the wedding later" Ramon said with a smile.

Ramon's words surprised Wardi and his son. They didn't expect to get a 'rejection' from Ramon. In that city, there are many families who wish to be different with their families.

Because he felt he was not considered, Wardi also shifted to other places to return to boast about the greatness of his son.

" Oh, apparently there's an acquaintance of mine there Ramon. I went to say hello to them first. Please continue your lunch" said Wardi as he pulled the hand of the child who was still staring at Lilian.

" Please..," said Ramon.

After Wardi and his son moved away, Lilian and her two children seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

" It's not unexpected Lilian We are very charming, Well, until make the richest man in Karawang interested in making him a son-in-law.., "lanni insinuated to make Ramon laugh.

" But I've turned down his offer to do something, ma'am" Rex said.

" Yes, but I let him talk too long ago. Mother until nausea horrified him..," said Lanni ketus to make her husband and two children laugh.

" I can't break the spirit of someone who shows off, Mom. After all, I finally rejected his proposal earlier..," said Ramon while grabbing his wife's shoulder and then peeked his forehead quickly.

Lanni smiled and nodded. He could not imagine having to deal with the arrogant Wardi.

This time it was Rex's turn to drive and Lilian was sitting next to him. Ramon took his family to tour Cigentis waterfall which is a famous tourist spot in Karawang.

Lilian and Rex glanced at each other in silence. If Rex knew exactly who the father meant, Lilian looked riled up.

" Dad..," called Lanni because she didn't get a response from her husband.

" That's Dad's wish. Is not speech a prayer ?. I have to answer other than saying that. If it's the cardi it will continue nyerocos ga because. Aren't you...?" ramon said casually.

" Oh that. Kirain's just a mom who doesn't know anything here. You're not hiding anything from me anymore, are you...?!" lanni asked suddenly while looking at her husband and her two children alternately.

" Ga Bu..," said Ramon, Lilian and Rex together to make Lanni smile.

" good. Watch out if you dare to hide something important. There can be no secrets, especially about your partner later. Listen it's Lian, Rex...!" lanni said as she stared fiercely at the two children.

" Yes Ma'am.," said Lilian and Rex while holding back a laugh.

" Dong has nagged it. Udah sampe nih, ga exclamation if the streets but diomelin continue..," said Ramon mediate.

" Yes yes. Let's get down. The place is good Yes Well..," said Lanni while staring in awe at the waterfall in the waterfall Cigentis seen in the distance.

" Yes dong. It's neater so it's comfortable for visitors..," said Ramon while holding Lanni's hand and taking her to walk towards the waterfall.

Rex and Lilian followed their parents from behind.

" Did Brother not tell me about Gama with Mother...?" ask Rex.

" For what...?" ask Lilian.

" Aren't you interested in Gama ?. He is good, mature and responsible. What else is it that you're looking for...?" ask Rex gomash.

" Sister knows Rex, but Sister still doubts Gama..," said Lilian while throwing her gaze in the other direction.

" I get it. Brother has the right to refuse if he does not like Gama. Don't feel bad, because Big Brother's happiness is the most important. Living a marriage relationship is difficult and needs a strong foundation to build it. So whatever your decision, we'll always be supportive" Rex said earnestly to the point of Lilian's heart.

" Thank you Rex..," Lilian said with teary eyes.

" Together my dear Brother..," said Rex Sanbil hugging Lilian tightly.

Then Rex and Lilian approached their parents who had been near the waterfall and were ready to take pictures.

After enjoying the beauty of nature in the Cigentis waterfall, Ramon and his family also came out of the Cigentis waterfall when the sun was almost sunset. They decided to go back to Jakarta that afternoon.

While driving suddenly Rex heard a humming sound in the distance. Rex reflexes add speed to the surprise of his family. Then suddenly Rex pulled over his car and looked back to make his family confused.

" What's up, son...?" ask Ramon.

Rex didn't answer his father's questions. He stared at the cliff they had just crossed. Their distance from the cliff was about a kilo meter. Ramon, Lanni and Lilian stared down at the cliff and were surprised to see the cliff move and then landslide down.

There were hysterical screams all around them. Lanni and Lilian also screamed because they could not see the two cars that passed under the cliff was buried by an avalanche.

" Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi rojiuun.., " muttered Ramon as he stared at the direction of the cliff avalanche.

" We're going there Rex...!" lilian pinta.

" No need, brother. There are a lot of people who will help later. We go home now. Remember, as long as this car goes, no one looks back...!" rex said as he started driving slowly away from the place.

Ramon, Lanni and Lilian stared at each other in confusion but they were forced to comply with Rex's request.

" Gapapa, we're following Rex this time. Stay calm and do not forget to recite..," said Ramon, who is owned by Lanni and Lilian.

In the steering wheel Rex looks constantly staring forward while thinking in his heart. But when his eyes glanced at the rearview mirror, he accidentally saw the mysterious woman he had seen before standing in the middle of the road not far from the location of the landslide cliff. The woman smiled and waved at him.

" Thank you..," Rex murmured as he looked at the woman.

As if hearing Rex's words, the mysterious woman nodded her head with a smile and disappeared somewhere.

Rex let out a long sigh while saying hamdalah in heart. One side he was grateful because he and his family escaped the disaster, but the other side of the heart felt guilty for not being able to do anything to prevent the disaster from happening.
