"Gosh, I'm late." Syene muttered, waking up from her sleep after seeing the clock on her phone.
"Why didn't Aunty Arlin wake me up?" The girl immediately went to the bathroom to clean herself up.
It had been two months Syene herself without Arina who usually accompanied her. It felt like everything had become very quiet, yet he was trying to get used to it. Arina's safety is more important, however.
A few minutes passed, Syene came out of the bathroom and immediately ran over to the wardrobe to find clothes that fit and were comfortable to wear. Syene's choice fell on an oversize shirt and a black miniskirt. The blue-eyed girl immediately put on clothes then lightly put on her face.
Once enough was felt, Syene took her sling bag and hurriedly ran out of her room. He even went down the stairs in a hurry to almost hit Arlin who happened to be going up.
"Syene, why rush like this?" Arlin frowned confusedly.
"Sorry aunty, I've had bad luck. I want to make a pilgrimage to the graves of Papa and Mama because today is exactly twenty years from their departure." Syene smiled thinly. There was still a radiance of sadness that he tried to hide through his smile.
"Geez, aunty also forgot. Yeah, well, you're gone first and uncle Ric will follow, and so will Opa and Oma." Arlin smiled and immediately continued his steps towards the room.
Syene continued her steps.
"Woo..be careful! What's the matter with you?" Etan's word almost hit Syene outside the mansion.
"You still haven't come to Sydney? It's been two months since you came." Syene asked confusedly.
"Today is an important day for you, I want to accompany you as always and after that I'm new to the airport." Etan smiled, rubbing Syene's head.
"Yes, come on." Syene pulls Etan and the two rush into the car. Etan immediately drove his car to the place where the graves of Syene's parents were located.
Along the way, Syene looked nervous. She even squeezed the end of the mini skirt she was wearing. Etan smiled at the adorable behavior of his best friend in his eyes. But Etan is also curious what makes his best friend look nervous.
"You why?" Etan pinched lightly on Syene's cheek.
"I'm nervous. I'm confused how to tell Papa and Mama that I already have someone I love." Syene.
"God. Just about that? It's not a complicated matter, you don't have to be this nervous!" Etan smiled but not with his hand gripping the car.
"Or should I not say it until Griff has time to go on a pilgrimage with me?" Syene looks worried now.
"Well, I agree with this one. You'd better introduce your girlfriend when you have time to make a pilgrimage together." Etan flicked his hand as if he was enthusiastic and strongly agreed with the words of his good friend.
"Huh.had." Syene took a deep breath and went back to silence. Etan chose silence rather than having to discuss something that would later make his heart hurt.
"We're up." Etan parked his car in a parking lot that was available specifically for family members who wanted to make a pilgrimage to their family graves.
Both of them got out of the car at the same time. Syene looked confused when she saw a black car that stopped not far from them.
"Isn't that Griff's car?" The blonde girl muttered confusedly.
"Syene what's wrong?" Etan approached Syene and grabbed her shoulders.
"Eh that.no. Come inside!" Syene dismissed his thoughts and immediately went into the Addison cemetery complex that is specifically for every member of the Addison family.
"For the sir." Syene smiled at the old man her grandfather's age.
"Please." The old man let Syene and Etan.
"Pa, Ma, I'm coming again." Syene squatted right in front of the navel of her two parents who were made one.
"I miss you guys. But take it easy, Aunty Arlin and uncle Ric love me as much as they love Arina. They never distinguish us." Syene smiled as she stroked the navel of her parents. Etan crouched down and embraced his best friend like a lover.
Syene told 'both of her parents' so many things, even when Arlin and Richard came with Arlen and Asyh, she and Etan were still not moving. The great family came together to commemorate the day of the departure of Ashen and Zerene twenty years ago.
"Syen, now your daughter is an adult. She is very smart and grows up to be a good girl. You and Zerene don't need to worry anymore because she's also found someone who can take good care of her." Assyh's mind seemed to speak to his eldest son who was gone.
"Oma, don't be sad." Syene approached Ashh and wiped away her grandmother's tears.
"Oma's not sad, but happy to see you've grown up well and become a good-hearted girl. Oma was just praying for you, wishing you all the best." Asyh stroked the tyrannical cheeks of his eldest grandson.
"Ish, Oma could've." Zerene hugged her grandmother from the side.
"Syene, aunty and uncle will take Opa and Oma home first huh. This afternoon there's a schedule for their health check-up." Arlin Permit.
"Good, aunty. I'm also done soon." Zerene smiled sweetly.
Arlin and Richard move in with Asyh and Arlen after saying goodbye to Arsyen and Zerene.
"Syene, the sky is overcast. Don't you want to go home now?" Ask Etan gently.
"Em.yeah, we're home now." Syene stood up and stretched her muscles for a moment. Both of them stepped out of the cemetery. Etan faithfully embraces Syene as a lover and Syene also seems familiar with it.
"What do you want to eat?" Etan asked as soon as they got close to his car.
"Em. I want Japanese food." Syene smiled shyly.
"Alright, we'll eat Japanese food." Both of them were standing next to Etan's car.
TETT TETT
Someone's car horn. Syene looked for the source of the sound. A pair of blue eyes widened after discovering the origin of the horn. He immediately ran closer to the black car not far from him.
"Griff, why are you here?" Syene asked with a racing heart either out of fear or out of running.
"Lake in!" Decree Griffith flat.
Inevitably Syene complied and entered sitting next to her lover. Leaving Etan without saying anything and he was sure Etan would understand. Griffith immediately drove his car out of the small road. Once on the highway, Griffith drove his car recklessly. Syene closed her eyes tightly without daring to say anything.
"What else this time?"
