LEGACY [ END ]

SEDO

"Then why did you ask Rum to retire?" mayang asked, right on target.

"That's because, they (the jinn) asked for human sacrifices in exchange for the lady's recovery."

"What's? you fucking creature!"

Mayang swerved and quickly cursed.

"They asked me to be made into a mash."

"Huh? lunatics! what did my mom say next?"

"I am very grateful that the lady refused. Madam felt sorry for me and asked me to go home. I was retired and asked to return home."

Mayang's body immediately limp.

"If mak Rum is asked to go home then.who will replace him?"

Hearing Mayang's question, Rum then cried.

"Huge huh? mom gave herself up?"

Mak Rum was crying so hard.

"I don't know non but honestly, I lun thought so. After what we saw earlier, let me stay here as long as the madam can be healthy again."

Now, Mayang is crying. He was confused, completely confused. After all, mak Rum was completely innocent. But he also did not want to lose his mother. That night was a pretty rough night for everyone. Mayang also stay awake until about three in the morning. He fell asleep about thirty minutes later.

...🌟🌟🌟...

At around five in the morning, Mayang was awakened by the sound of crying which was none other than the cry of mak Rum.

"What's wrong, mak?"

"Mrs non."

Mayang terjekak while running towards his mother's room. Sure enough, his mother died. Mayang cried so badly. Regretting many things, sorry for falling asleep and not knowing when his mother died.

...🌟🌟🌟...

Neighbors and relatives arrived. Mayang just sat in front of his mother's body. His gaze was empty with tears continuing. After being treated, the body of Ms. Endah was carried to the cemetery area. That's when Bayu came but was reluctant to approach because, Mayang was surrounded by family and relatives. Bayu decided to approach Mayang after the body was buried. Seeing Bayu standing on the porch, Mayang immediately approached him and hugged him and then cried so badly.

"Look on May, it's okay!" said Mayang while sitting him down.

"Babies.."

"Yes." Yeah."

Mayang was unable to continue his words and only cried as he did.

"Okay, cry as much!" said Bayu while patting Mayang's shoulder.

...🌟🌟🌟...

When Bayu was about to say goodbye, Mayang's father called Bayu and questioned him.

"Are you Mayang's girlfriend?"

"Not me, we're just friends."

"Oh, thank you for being such a good friend to my son! he, will need a mental boost for some time to come."

"Just calm down, I will be happy to accompany Mayang!"

Mayang's father nodded his head.

"Thank you for coming!"

"Yes, same thing. I'll say goodbye, assalamualaikum!"

"Getishalight."

...🌟🌟🌟...

In the days that followed, there was only sadness. For seven days, Bayu always comes. Also pray for the latehumah while strengthening Mayang. The arrival of Bayu means a lot. Even though Mayang still can not tell the truth. However, he can share his grief with his friend. While mak Rum, the dilemma is to go home or stay there. Moreover, it is still mourning.

"Mak Rum's.."

"Yes non?"

"When will Rum go home?"

Hearing Mayang's question, Mr. Rum stopped his activities and also sat on the chair on the terrace.

"Does Rum want to stay?"

"Honestly yes, Mr. Rum is worried about everyone. Especially non Mayang who is still hit with the departure of the mistress."

"Don't! this is the message of my mother. I want Rum home. It's ibuk mak's will, you better follow Rum!"

"If mak Rum comes home, what about non Mayang?"

"I can definitely get through it. It is heavy but all things will pass. After all, there are still Yanti's father and mother here. Dad said I'll recruit a new cook after mak Rum gets home. This house will be crowded again even though mother.."

Mayang was unable to continue his words. He cried again when he remembered his mother who had died. Mak Rum then hugged Mayang so that Mayang could calm down.

...🌟🌟🌟...

The next few days, Mr. Rum said goodbye. Mak Rum was not hearty but as Mayang said, it was the last request from his late mother. Mak Rum fulfilled the request as his last service to the family who had lived for decades. There was an inevitable sobbing at the moment of the separation. Mayang and Mbak Yanti deliver mak Rum at the station. Accompany him until the train arrives and deliver mak Rum until the train leaves. It is inexplicable the sadness that Mayang and Yanti felt.

"You alone May, two men have left. No, there is still a father and father of Yanti but in my heart, there is a gaping hole that can not be closed tightly anymore" Mayang told himself.

...🌟🌟🌟...

In the following days, Bayu tried hard to rebuild the spirit of Mayang. Every day he invited her to go to college together. Invite him to eat to make sure that Mayang, eat regularly. Comfort him and accompany him to study.

"Life goes on May! there are still many things you have to achieve, you have to be strong!"

Mayang just nodded hearing the advice from Bayu.

...🌟🌟🌟...

"Well, it's up to us. Do I want to go with you or do you want to take a break?" asked Bayu when the two had reached Mayang's house.

"Emm. I want to take a break!"

"Okay then, I'm back!"

"Yes Bay."

"Smile first dong!"

Mayang then smiled.

"That dong, cheerful again like the old Mayang!"

Mayang nodded.

"Yes, I'm back! ah, assalamualaikum!"

"Glamma!"

"Tomorrow morning, I pick you up at half-eight."

"Yes Bay."

"Go back, yeah!"

"Yes." Yeah."

After Bayu breezed with his motorbike, Mayang entered the house.

...🌟🌟🌟...

Mayang's days felt so lonely. If you are at home, Mayang spend more time in the room. While his father, chose to drive away deserted by working. His father's coming home at ten in the night. The next day, I'm leaving for work at six. This continued in the following days as well. His father once said that he was building a housing complex and would be on the project site all day. Mayang just assented without asking much.

His father was right to be there because, Mayang once invited Bayu to check. Mayang knew that his father also felt a deep loss. Work is a way to distract sadness. Mayang also tried to do the same thing by getting active in college. Unfortunately, the concentration is often broken. Maybe men and women are different. If his father could, he could not. Luckily there was Bayu who always accompanied him. Maybe, Mayang can experience mental disorders if there is no Bayu on his side.

[Sleeping May? ] - Bayu sent a short message.

[Not Bay, what's up? ] - reply Mayang.

[How come not yet, he said he wanted to take a break? ]

[Yes, this is going to sleep. ]

[Sleep really, yeah! I'll pick you up at eight tomorrow! ]

[ Yeah. ]

Mayang put his phone on the nightstand and closed his eyes.
