That afternoon was seen overcast in the area of the public cemetery, even drizzle since earlier accompanied the funeral of Mr. Seno, Maira's father.
The atmosphere of grief was so felt in that place, where they had to release friends and parents who were so good for them.
The chants of prayer are heard adorning every last step Seno sir towards his resting place. The all-black clothes they wore seemed to indicate a deep atmosphere of grief, coupled with a day that deliberately poured out the water so that their tears of sadness would not be seen by anyone.
Maira and Rio squatted beside their father's navel, their hands outstretched sowing flowers to decorate the resting place of their proud father. Their eyes were so sweet and full of sadness, how not should they be forced to lose their loved ones so quickly.
Doctor Danar and Mr. Beni also sowed flowers in the grave of Mr. Seno, even then the doctor Danar himself who went down to the grave to deliver the body of his father-in-law and to punish him. He also felt lost with the departure of his in-laws, not only as in-laws, but the doctor Danar was the one who treated Mr. Seno for the past month in the hospital where he worked.
The mourners who came to Mr. Seno's funeral are seen starting to disperse. And now all that's left is Maira, the doctor Danar, Rio, Mr. Beni and his wife who hasn't read much since the death of Maira's father this morning.
"We're home?" take Dr. Danar to Maira and Rio
Rio looked at his smiling brother and rubbed his shoulders gently
"Go home first, brother will follow" said Maira. Rio just nodded obediently with his sad face. Maira knew Rio was really losing right now.
"Don't be long boy, the rain is getting heavier" said Mr. Beni. And Maira just nodded
Doctor Danar's mother immediately left without saying anything. His face was flat and seemed so cold, no matter what the woman had in mind, Maira did not want to care.
Rio went home with Mr. Beni who was embracing his shoulder, and now the doctors of Danar and Maira are in the cemetery. Doctor Danar stands behind Maira with his hands holding an umbrella. While Maira crouched with eyes that were so nanar and seemed empty.
"Doctors can go home, I want to be alone at this time" Maira said without looking at the doctor Danar behind her
"Today I want maghrib and I can't leave you alone here" Danar replied
"I'm not a child to worry about" Maira said
"I'm not worried about you, I'm just worried about myself. If you knew I was coming home alone, I would be the one to blame" Dr. Danar replied.
Maira was so upset to hear her. He turned his head sadistically to the calm-faced Doctor Danar, which was annoying
"I don't care" grunted Maira who was grumpy
Doctor Danar only smiled faintly, and Maira looked back at her father's navel. They were silent for so long, only the rustling of rainwater filling the sound of the day of the funeral.
Maira rubbed feelingly on her father's tombstone, even the rainwater that began to drench her body no longer felt her. He even felt calmer because he was exposed to raindrops, as if all his feelings had decayed along with the water that soaked his body, yes although not directly exposed to water because of the doctor Danar who waded him.
'dad, what should Maira do now' Maira's mind was so poignant
'what about this marriage, did Maira have to split up? or survive?' her mind again
'then what about Rio'
'Maira confused dad'
Maira bowed painfully, and back sobbing, she was rightly confused as to what to do her. Continue to continue this marriage? is that good. But if divorced, would his father not be disappointed in Maira. Seeing Maira marry Danar's doctor was the last wish of her father who had never demanded anything from Maira during this time. But to continue this marriage is she capable. In addition to his young age, Maira still has dreams that he wants to achieve.
And again Rio, what about his sister if he continues his marriage. With whom his sister will stay, Maira lectures in the capital while Rio attends school here. Yes, Maira was really confused, she cried and sobbed with grief because her heart was really not necessarily the direction now.
Doctor Danar can be seen sighing to see Maira crying back, can even doctor Danar see Maira's back vibrating violently. Maira covered her face with both palms trying her hardest to muffle her sad cry, but it felt useless.
Maira slightly gasped as Doctor Danar squatted down beside her and rubbed her back gently.
"Dad must be sad to see you like this" said Danar doctor
"You know what it's like to lose" said Maira as she rubbed her face rough. His voice was so hoarse and it sounded full.
Maira looked at the annoyed doctor Danar who was smiling so shady looking at his father's navel
"Yes, you're right" Danar said
"I don't know what it's like to lose. But a little bit of her I know the meaning of that loss. Dad didn't leave you, he just moved now, moved to a better place. A place where he won't feel pain anymore, and a place where he's waiting for you to catch up with him someday"
"He is there and watching you from there, he is always there even when he is no longer visible. He knows your heartbreak, he knows what you're doing. He expects your prayer Maira, not your cry" said Doctor Danar with a voice so calm that he could make Maira silent for a moment
"You don't spill your anxiety here. Don't add to her burden anymore, you don't know how hard she faces her God. You just have to sit on the prayer mat until whenever you want, stir everything to your Lord, then you will get the answer of what you ask" added Dr. Danar again
Maira was still silent and looked at her father's navel, was it really what Doctor Danar said?
Although upset, but somehow his words were able to enter Maira's heart.
"Now we go home. There was Rio waiting at home" Doctor Danar stood up and looked at Maira who was crouching in her place
Yes, there's Rio. Maira must be strong, Maira must be an older brother and a parent for her sister. He must not be weak, is not he used to living independently?
....
"So you want to stay in this town?" ask Maira again
Rio nodded confidently and looked at Maira
"Yes brother. Rio wants the school to be in the boarding school only, while it is only the first semester" Rio replied
"Why not join brother just stay in Jakarta deck, brother will not be calm ninggalin you yourself here" said Maira so objected. How could he possibly let Rio here
"Sister, Rio already big, already first class High School, Rio wants to be independent, as well as realize the wishes of the father who wants Rio mondok dipesantren" said Rio with his own face
Maira directly rubbed the shoulder of the little brother just like that gently. He's really confused right now.
"It's okay Maira, there's a father here. Every now and then dad would look up to Rio at his school. Father has also been looking for a boarding school suitable for Rio" said Mr. Beni arrived. Maira and Rio immediately turned towards Mr. Beni who just came out of the house with a glass of coffee in his hand. Rio immediately moved on and let Mr. Beni sit in his chair, while he switched to the rattan chair next to Maira.
"But.." Maira's expression was held back because she was confused, the cost of school in the boarding school must be more expensive than other public schools. Is he willing? Maira really did not want to receive more gifts from the Beni master's family.
"Don't worry. Rio's a good boy, he must be responsible for his choice" said Mr. Beni. Maira turned to Rio who nodded and smiled with confidence.
Maira took her breath slowly and smiled in a forced manner
"Alright, but you have to promise to be okay and not let your sister down" Pinta Maira said
"Yes sis, Rio promise" Rio replied confidently
"For the cost you don't have to worry Maira. Your father has prepared everything well, he can not abandon his children" said Mr. Beni, and Maira immediately frowned confused to hear it
"I mean dad? Isn't all of our father's treasure gone for his treatment first?" ask Maira. But mister Beni immediately shook his head and smiled
"No son, the treasure that looks like you have already sold out, but actually since your father has invested some of his property in the father's business. He entrusted the father who managed it. And just so you know, if the hospitality business you have is the result of your father's help. He gave a large enough capital first to the father who did not have anything, and thank God the business was growing rapidly until now"
"Your father doesn't want me to return the capital I borrowed, and he says he left it to me as an investment for your future savings"
"It's not you who owe it to me, but it's you who owe it to your father" said Mr. Beni at length.
Maira was stunned and instantly fell silent. What the hell is this? Why is it like this? Who can explain to him now. Maira was confused
"The hotel where you got married is a hotel in your name, son" said Mr. Beni again. And back, Maira widened her eyes and gasped in shock knowing that
"That's right" he murmured in disbelief
"Yes, that's your father's investment for you. And for Rio, a car showroom that will be his part later. All the files have been prepared, all of them are there and there is only a signature from you" said Mr. Beni again
Maira was really made like a dream, why her father never told her first. Even for fear of distressing his father, Maira had to be willing to work side by side in order to cover the needs of his life in the capital. Jesus, he wants to yell in frustration at this moment
"Hey, why are you daydreaming?" asked Mr. Beni to Maira who was looking at him with a confused face
"Don't think too much, if your father told you about this for so long, you wouldn't know what it's like to be grateful for something" lord Beni's tease made Rio laugh and Maira instantly turned her face that blushed in embarrassment.
Yeah, that's true. But her marriage, Maira had thought that she accepted the marriage offer as a form of return, but the opposite happened, and now she really hates Doctor Danar. Just see what he'll do later.
....
While in Mr. Beni's room, Dr. Danar is seen sitting in his mother's dressing chair. Doctor Danar looked at his mother who was sitting on the side of the bed with a look of dislike.
"Look, she's been your wife for a week, what she's done. Just shutting yourself in the room, that's what you call a wife?" said the doctor's mother Danar with annoyance
Doctor Danar just smiled in response
"Mother, Maira is in mourning right now. Maybe he has not been able to adjust to our family" said Danar doctor so gently. He really did not want to hurt his mother.
"Danar, you're the son of the only mother, I want you to get a soul mate who loves you sincerely, not a girl like Maira who has no respect for you as a husband at all" doctor Danar's mother said again
Doctor Danar immediately moved and moved to sit next to his mother. He took his mother's hand and grasped it gently
"Danar is sorry ma'am, but please give Danar time to turn Maira into the way you want her to be, it just takes time ma'am" Danar told doctors
"Three Danar months, three months. If in three months he does not change, then divorce him" Mother said so sharply made the doctor Danar immediately speechless to look at his mother.
Three months?
What can???
