JiHan (Promise and Betrayal)

Funeral

After placing Sinta's body on the mattress prepared in the middle room of the house that has been emptied of furniture and only carpeted, carpeted, and the front yard of the house that has been magic as a bathing place later with a wooden table mat covered with a long and wide cloth and a long and wide covering cloth around it tie it to a piece of wood that is plugged into the ground so that it can cover the activities there later.

And in another part there are some plastic chairs that are taught to look neat to sit the mourners later under the shade of a blue tarpaulin tent that covers it.

Some neighbors have come in and surround Sinta's body, some people prepare flowers and other things needed for bathing and to be in the coffin later while waiting for the person who will help bathe him.

“Bu Asih's.. Mbok Yani has arrived, want to be bathed now?” Ask an old woman to Aunt Asih Sinta's mother.

“Ya Bukk... just now.” Her speech.

“Scented water and mothballs, soaps and other supplies have been prepared. Mari Ma'am, anyone who wants to bathe her for the last time?” Ask Mbok Yani.

“I'm His Mother, and her Grandma and her aunt.” Said Aunty Asih while pointing at an old woman and a woman younger than herself who was right next to her.

 “Mari..” Mbok Yani.

The body is lifted slowly into the available impromptu room. Then they perform the ritual of bathing the corpse. After that, they put it back into the house and put it back on a small mattress that has been arranged to do pengkafani.

Al could not see it, he just went to sit quietly on the edge of Sinta's bedroom mattress. This is where they tell stories or maybe complain at that time. Sometimes Al often stayed and slept with Sinta while still being a regular employee. Even the Al equipment is all complete here. Likewise, all Sinta equipment is also complete on top of Al's flower shop.

Sinta will stay at Al's place if he has any injuries or bruises during training when they are both lifted into a Team, even though they are not in the same Team. Their cohesiveness strengthens each other when everything they can't tell outsiders about their work makes them both so far inseparable and in need of each other to strengthen each other.

“Nak Al. go eat, you must not have had breakfast earlier, Aunty has prepared it.” The words of Aunt Asih made her aware of her daydream.

“Ya Aunt.. Al had breakfast earlier.” His lie.

“Tante knows you for years, you usually skip your breakfast if you have a lot you think about. There's breakfast, this is command.” Her speech. And Al followed the aunt to the dining room and took her food. Aunty Asih also left Al to eat alone when he had made sure Al ate half the food in his pear.

The mourners are already crowded in front of the living room and in front of the yard in the chairs that have been provided. Al helped serve the bottled water he was going to put in front of there and some market cake snacks.

“You guys are still here?” His words to Galih that immediately appeared when Al would lift the second drink cardboard that he would prepare in front there.

“Yes.. I'm still here, Roy and Jun are also still here. He helps the residents here put up yellow flags and other things.” Her speech.

Al heart warms knowing that his teammates and the bosses are so understanding to him and always accompany him when they are not too close to Sinta because of different Teams but because they know that Sinta is very valuable for him Al, they faithfully accompanied him to live it all out.

All the families have come to see Sinta's body one last time. Funerals will also be conducted, they conduct a funeral not too far from their housing.

The body was put in a coffin and then taken to the mosque to be sholatan then brought into a hearse and took it to the cemetery. The motorcade followed the hearse in front of him. Some petrified motorcycles free the road carrying yellow flags freeing the way of their motorcade and motorcade that accompanied his funeral.

During the procession of infusing the body into the pit, Al could not return to drain his tears. He had already tried to hold it in but his tear glands were unwilling to hear it and spilled it nonstop. Sobs sounded very heartbreaking.

Roy who was on the right side of Al pulled Al closer so that the girl was in the man's chest to spill her sadness. Galih who saw that was a little unhappy, but he could not do anything like Al was in a state of turmoil. Galih who was on the left of Al just rubbed the shoulder of the girl. Juna just looked at the girl with a sad look.

All the funeral procession was finished they returned to the funeral home and cleaned the bathhouse and tidied up the house if only there would be other mourners who would come later.

“Nak Al and all thank you for helping launch all the process. Om can't speak anything else other than a word of thanks.” He tries hard.

“Nak Al you look very pale Son, there go home rest. If you are still here Om sure you will definitely not be able to rest and instead busy yourself.” Said Mr. Anwar.

“But Om..” Reject Al.

“Good Sir, I'm calm.” Roy.

“Yuk Al's. Our Mr. Ma is very sorry. We permission to go home first.” Roy's words to both Sinta's parents are followed by Jun and Galih. Al was a little reluctant to leave.

“Go sis.. Brother Al looks very messed up.sister so ugly.” Viki tried to joke. Al approaches Viki and hugs the teenage boy.

“Sister has to take care of brother's health, I now only have brother. Brother will not stay away from me, even though Sinta's sister is no longer there.” The teenage boy.

“Stupid basis, what kind of question is.” He said as he pinched the teenager's stomach. The teenager smiled and let go of his embrace. Then they left the funeral home.

“Al what do you want to eat?” Ask Roy.

“Ga no brother, I ate earlier.” Reject the girl.

“Buy fast food on the road, later on he wants to eat he can warm it in the microwave.” Salih Suggestions. Roy complies with Galih's advice and stops by fast food first through the drive thru.

They arrive at Al's flower shop and they go straight down and follow Al. There were several employees of shopkeepers and gardeners seen there.

“Mba Ara.” Said one of his employees.

“Bu Ani, later if it is finished working hours Bu Ani, just close the flower shop yes. I go straight to the top.” Her speech.

Roy, Galih and Jun follow Al up to the k store where he lives. Al came in and sat on the living room sofa as well as the tv room.

“Al better you sleep immediately.” Galih.

“Yes you just go to the room there bed rest, we will accompany you here.” Roy.

Al went to his room to clean himself up bathing in the bathroom inside. Juna, Roy and Galih they ate the snacks and fast food they bought earlier.

Drrrtt. drrrttt. drrrtttt vibrate Roy phone.

“Yaa.. hmmm.. then? Alright I'll be there now.” Say Roy and hang up the phone call.

“What's up?” Jun and Galih asked also waiting for an answer.

“I have to go back to the office and also Jun, there is a new case problem that has a constraint. And it looks like they can't without us installing it directly.” Obviously Roy.

“You take care of Al, later if there is any news please let us know.” Juna.

Roy and Juna will say goodbye to Al, they knock slowly and try to open the door. The door was unlocked, the girl seemed to have fallen asleep.

“He sleeps, we go straight to ya. Here's your key.” Jun said as he threw the key into the air to be caught by Galih.

“Yup.” Answer the brief.

Roy and Juna leave Alice's residence and the car moves further away. Switch locks the door of the house and makes sure all the windows are tightly closed. He threw himself on the sofa and tried to sleep there on a slant with his hands bearing it.

Seriate...
