COMMITMENT OF LOVE IN A MATCHMAKING

Xps.87. Funeral Home

"But sister, you remember, Auli had a nightmare about grandfather, that time a long time ago grandfather never visited our house, but every time Auli asks for sure you say that grandpa is busy, but in reality grandpa is sick, and you hide it from Auli, hik hik," aulia replied remembering the events from years ago when she was a child.

"Yes my brother remembers the deck, but this is not what you think the deck is, so you calm down, yes, soon we arrive," replied Adrian trying to calm the sister. His fear deepened when he arrived home and saw that his grandfather had left him for good. I don't know what will happen later. Adrian took a deep breath trying to get rid of his bad thoughts.

"A-there's a-what's sister? W-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w-w- is there what are you guys are you guys are you guys are y-w-w-w-w-w? Hik, hik, hik" Aulia's sudden question, though in a stammering voice made Arka, Adrian and pak Tono surprised. With a sigh they try to find answers.

"There is no deck, you have calmed down first yes," replied Adrian spontaneously for fear of being answered first by Arka with an honest answer about the news of grandfather who had died.

"Whatever happens later, we must be sincere Yang, because everything is God's will," continued Arka who did not want to give false hope like his brother-in-law.

"Now you calm down first, many istigfar, we share with God," he continued.

"Yes, sister" replied Aulia. Then the girl tried to calm herself down by adjusting her breath, sipping slowly and then taking it out through her mouth slowly as well. After that do not forget to also beristigfar many times to feel calmer.

After Aulia was able to calm herself down, the atmosphere in the car became quiet. Until soon they almost reached the highway that leads to the residential complex of the Wijaya family residence.

"So, why don't we go straight to the hospital?" Aulia asked as she realized the direction of their journey.

"Papa said we go straight home first Yang," replied Arka.

"Oh yes," replied Aulia.

"Yang," call Arka.

"Yes, why brother?" Aulia answered at once.

"Whatever happens, we must be strong yes" Arka said ambiguously.

"I mean brother?" Aulia asked who did not understand Arka's intentions.

"Yes, brother, whatever will happen, whether later or whenever it is, we must be strong and sincere, whatever problems we will experience later, we must be strong and sincere, promise me that we will always live together, yes" explained Arka.

"Yes sister, Auli promised, we should be able to support and strengthen each other" replied Aulia.

"Hopefully nothing bad will happen to us, brother," he continued with a smile.

"Aamiin, hopefully Yang," replied Arka.

It did not feel like they were finally in front of the house. When we got home, there were many neighbors and families who came. Even in front of the house was installed a tent also in front of the gate there is a funeral flag on a small stick and under it there is the writing of a funeral home.

When the car stopped, Mother Risa along with Father Restu was ready to wait in front of the gate, because along the way Adria always inform both parents. So that when they arrived the two parents were ready at the gate to wait for the princess and her daughter-in-law.

"Sir, why is it so crowded in the house?"asked Aulia who had not seen the mourning flag that was fluttering near the gate.

"Who, remember yes, you have promised our brother must be strong and sincere," replied Arka reminded him of both words and promises before arriving home.

"Sister, don't tell me there's nothing with grandpa, hik hik," said Aulia who immediately cried.

"Sorry brother Yang, brother can not say to you, brother can not see you like before, brother beg us to be strong Yang," said Arka with a voice that has been raucous because it held back crying.

"Innalillahiwainnailaihi rojiun," lirih Aulia was weak almost inaudible.

"Second, you can't be weak, you have to be strong, grandfather needs your do'a, grandfather will be sad if you see you are weak," Arka said trying to remind his sister.

"Honey, you are strong, yes" said Mother embracing her favorite daughter as Aulia got out of the car.

"Bun, grandpa bun, hik hik, why did you miss Auli bun?" Ask Aulia.

"Sapar Darling, we enter first yes," invited Mother who was embraced by Aulia amid the sobbing of her cries. Then Mother went into the house while memapah Aulia assisted by Adrian.

"Your strong son, yes" said Restu's father, hugging his daughter-in-law as Arka got out of the car after Aulia.

"God willing" replied Arka.

"Let's go in first," asked Father Restu to be taken by Arka.

"Have you brought home Dad?" Ask Arka as the two walked into the house.

"No child, after taking care of administration and so on usually just brought home, maybe soon," replied Tara's father.

"Who's taking care of me at the hospital?" Ask Arka.

"Om Haris same Mas Arman, but your papa is still there in the company of Bayu om Iwan, so Dad who takes care at home," replied Tara's father who was nodding by Arka.

"Ma, hik hik," called Aulia as soon as she saw Mama Rita in the family room accompanied by aunt Ira and aunt Ratih, while aunt Silvy and brother Arin in the guest room accompanied Maura to Aura.

"Darling, you've come" said Rita's mother in a raucous voice as she was mostly crying.

"Yes ma," replied Aulia who immediately rushed to hug the mother-in-law.

"Ma," called Arka who also directly hugged her two favorite women.

"Sorry Ar yes ma, we are not in the last moments of grandfather," Arka said as she took off her arms.

"The wrong mom Ar, you should be sensitive to the premonition of grandfather," said Mama Rita sad.

"Ar is also wrong ma, try Ar also sensitive for sure we will not go," replied Arka.

"After all, there is nothing wrong, this is all fate" said Rita.

"Yes our duty as children and grandchildren now can only pray for grandfather," continued Father Restu.

"You should drink first, son, this has been given warm tea just like Yah," said the mother while handing a cup of tea to Aulia and Arka.

"Still bun," Aulia and Arka replied in unison as they received a cup of warm tea and drank it.
