Dina - Deni 'Love Story'

Part 11's.

After returning from her activities, Dina was surprised by the sad news she got. His grandfather, the only person he had right now was already lying stiff in the living room of his home. Instantly Dina's body collapsed to the ground looking at what was in front of her. His cry broke out, anyone who heard it must have felt pity with the girl's roaring cry.

The only person who has always been there for her is now gone. The place he was leaning on was gone forever. To whom else would he complain if there was a problem? Who else would give her encouragement? If it wasn't for this Grandpa, the only family he'd have.

Dina did not understand why everyone did not tell her about this sad news. Why is everyone so cruel to him? Even his grandfather had died, not a single person had contacted him. It felt like Dina was almost crazy if she remembered everything, her crying became even more so. Dina could only lash out at her claustrophobic chest while continuing to sob.

Without him noticing, someone clenched his body tightly. The middle-aged woman gently rubbed Dina's back so that the girl would calm down a little. Sure enough, Dina's cries eased after feeling a warm embrace from the woman. Although it still sounds a little stuffy.

Dina felt the woman's embrace like the hug she had longed for. A mother's embrace. Dina drowned her face in the arms of Aunt Rini, Mama Deni. All he needed right now was calmness as well as encouragement.

After feeling better, Dina got up from her seat. He had to accept this fate, he had to sincerely let go of his Grandfather so that his Grandfather was calm there. His feet stepped closer to the Grandfather who was already stretched stiff. Around his grandfather there were already many neighbors who had gathered to mourn. Dina slowly opened the white cloth that became the cover of Grandpa's face.

"Grandfather's gone Buk. Grandpa ninggalin Dina. Dina has no one else Buk. Dina's alone now. Hiks" Dina's cry again broke after feeling the soft elucidation from Buk Tia's hand.

Actually Dina did not believe what had happened this time. Dina felt that what was happening right now was just a dream, and she would wake up from this nightmare. But Dina could do nothing but accept the reality after believing herself that what was happening right now was not a dream, but real.

Aunt Rini could only stare at Dina. The poor girl. I don't know what her best friend there felt when she saw their daughter like this. Rini only hopes that God will give Dina strength. Because she was sure Dina was a strong girl, and she could definitely get through this. I'll take care of your daughter Wulan. Inner Rini.

"You must be sincere, dear. Everything is predestined by God. We must be strong to accept all of this. You are strong yes. Remember, you are not alone. There is still Ibuk, there is still a family of Buk Rini who loves you too" Buk Tia continued to rub the girl's back slowly.

...***...

After the funeral procession was over, people left the wet grave. Dina was still sitting in front of the grave. His heart is still heavy to leave this place, the final resting place of his beloved Grandfather.

"Dina, Ibuk went home first yes, because there are some things that have not been done" Buk Tia said goodbye to go home first because there are unresolved affairs at Dina's house. Dina just nodded slowly responding to Buk Tia's words.

Now there was only him and the Deni family in the cemetery. Remembering the name of the man, Dina had not seen the trunk of her nose. Where the hell is he? Is that angry with Dina? To the point of not showing himself at the moment.

"Deni again there's business out of town dear. So can't deliver your Grandpa one last time. Forgive Deni yes" as if understanding what Dina thought, Aunt Rini answered all the questions that were hanging around her head.

"Yes Aunt. It's okay" Dina answered understand. He couldn't have expected more after what happened a few days ago. "Let's go home" Dina invites Aunt Rini, Om Pras and also Revan to leave the grave.

After cleaning up, Dina caught up with Deni's family, Buk Tia and some of Dina's distant family who gathered in her living room. There were also some people gathered there. Then they both held tahlilan and also a prayer together for the Grandfather.

At nine o'clock in the night, people had already begun to disperse. Because the event has also been completed.

"You're staying at Auntie's house, right? Aunty does not feel good to leave you alone" Aunt Rini tried to persuade Dina to stay for a while at her house considering this girl only lives alone. Whether this was some persuasion, Dina's answer was still the same.

Even before Dina also refused the invitation of one of her cousins to stay with her. But considering her house was a fair distance away from where Dina lived now, Dina preferred to stay in her house only.

"No need for aunty. Dina is okay by herself. There is also Buk Tia. Dinah at home yes" Dina tried to reject the invitation of the mother of two children. Dina feels bad if she continues to bother the Deni family. Although they did not feel bothered at all.

Perhaps tired of persuading Dina, Aunt Rini finally relented. And let Dina stay in her house alone. Aunt Rini also advised Buk Tia to take care of Dina for a while. After getting a nod from Buk Tia, finally Buk Rini and family say goodbye to go home.

"Thank you Tan, you've been helping Dina all this time" Dina said sincerely as the woman's legs would move out of Dina's house.

Dina could only breathe out slowly. He stepped into the house after Buk Tia said goodbye to go home as well. The Tia Buk house is next to the Dina house.

"If there's anything, yell yes" Buk Tia said before returning home.

Silent. Slender. That was how Dina felt at this moment. Usually there is the Grandpa who always accompany him, even though it is just a story about his boring college activities, or about his lecturers who are stingy values.

Again the tears were freefall from his eyes. Dina quickly wiped away those tears, she did not want to look weak because it would make her Grandfather sad. Dina must be strong to face all this. Even Dina herself had not had time to say her thanks and forgiveness to Grandpa. Hixes. Tears flooded his face.

Not long after crying alone, there was someone knocking on Dina's door. Dina wiped away the rest of her tears slowly then took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. He walked towards the door. He looked at who was behind the door after it opened.

"Deni" muttered Dina slowly.

Yes, that man is Deni. He had just arrived after his affairs were finished outside the city. Deni decided to meet the girl in person. The girl he didn't know as to who in his current life was. The boyfriend? Wife-to-be? Or just a stranger? I don't know, obviously for now Deni doesn't need that answer. All he wanted was one, which was to make sure the girl was okay. That was more than enough for him.

"Are you okay?" a worried look flashed clearly on his handsome face.

Feeling that there was no answer from the girl in front of him, Deni immediately clenched the girl's body tightly. Deni could feel the fragility felt by Dina. How does it feel to lose someone so precious to us? Even this was the umpteenth loss for Dina after losing both her parents.

The girl's body was cold and weak as well. Even the girl did not say a word. Deni tightened his hold on Dina's body.

"I'm sorry I'm late. Sorry I wasn't there when you needed me. Sorry for not saying anything to you about your Grandfather back then" Deni recalled, if in fact He had met Dina at that time to inform her that his Grandfather was relapsing and was taken back to the hospital. But after meeting Dina directly, she forgot. Because he was too emotional to remember how the girl thought.

She had thought about contacting Dina over the phone, but she was afraid that she would do something stupid even though she herself was not sure that Dina would be like that. Deni also warned his family not to contact Dina, because he was afraid that the girl was reckless and went home in a state of turmoil.

But finally he regretted his decision, after he got word from the Papa that Grandpa Dina was gone. He was out of town this morning. Again he forbade the Papa not to inform Dina of the sad news, for the same reason. At first Om Pras disagreed, because after all Dina had to know about her Grandfather. But after Deni said that Dina was on her way home, her father agreed. Let Dina know for herself.

Dina just nodded slowly in the man's embrace. He could no longer speak. Even crying felt like he was tired. Dina could no longer speak, only remained glued while replying to Deni's embrace.

Long enough, Deni let go of his embrace and cupped the two cheeks of the cute-eyed girl. His face looks dirty and messy. His eyes were swollen from crying too often. Even at this time Deni saw that Dina was trying to hold back her crying. It was clearly visible on his face, more precisely in his eyes.

"If you want to cry, cry. It's not what. Not arrested. But promise me that these are the last tears to come out of these eyes. Hmm?" deni said softly while stroking Dina's eyes.

Suddenly Dina again clutched tightly to the male athletic body. Her crying broke again in Deni's arms. Dina also hoped this was the last tear of sadness that came out of her eyes, even though she herself was unsure. Deni simply stroked Dina's back to give the girl some calm.

"Cry" she said gently. Occasionally stroking Dina's long hair that was scratched. Without him noticing, Dina was asleep in her arms. Deni immediately lifted Dina's body towards the room, and laid the weak body on the mattress. Deni enveloped Dina's body with a thick blanket, after which she moved outside. After contacting someone, Deni decided to sit on the porch of the house. Because it does not want the neighbors to think badly of him and also Dina.

Half an hour waiting, someone came in a black car. It was his family car, aka his Papa car. Yes, Deni called his Papa so he could pick him up and Dina too. Because he didn't bring a car. Deni decided to take Dina to his house alone, he could not bear to leave the girl alone with her circumstances like this. It turned out that his mother also came to pick him up and Dina.

Before bringing Dina who was sleeping in his lap, Deni and his family first say goodbye to Buk Tia, and say that he will take Dina with him. A look of relief from Buk Tia's face, because he believes the Deni family is a good family.

After that Deni immediately brought the girl's body to the car, while Mama carried a tote bag containing several pieces of Dina clothes that were packed directly by Mama Deni himself.

Deni felt that this was the best decision he had chosen. What will happen tomorrow? I don't know.
