Lily For Angga

The Part 58

Angga walked towards the podium, after standing on the podium he kept silent for a while staring at the person waiting for him to talk. He let out a long sigh no matter how emotional the day was, he looked forward again, even though only the students' classmates, teachers and parents were still nervous.

Angga cleared his throat slowly, he said a few formal opening words before returning silent, his eyes slightly glazed over.

"Actually I am standing here without any preparation, today is also quite heavy for me." She cleared her throat, "Today is the day my father waited the most a few months ago, I also prepared a few words to brag that I wanted to say to him"

Angga raised his head up so that his tears would not fall "I will still say it." Angga took a deep breath before grinning as if his father was in front of him "Abang has lost, Brother will graduate with the highest grades in school, now see Brother really graduated with the highest grades. Because it's... Don't worry, you can take care of your brother and the trust you leave behind. Rest up!"

Angga lowered his head for a moment, stabilizing his feelings. After feeling better he raised his head back, conveying a few words to his friend.

"Last, congratulations on graduation! Starting tomorrow s-

"GOODBYE TO SCHOOL UNIFORM!!" Seangkaran exclaimed as he clapped along with him descending from the podium.

"No wonder, she looks like her father" Naya whispered to her husband who was still clapping. The middle-aged lung man nodded his head, there was a smile on his lips "He is also smart like his mother."

"How's it?" Azka whispered to Lyz who was also present on Angga's graduation day.

"Not bad." replied Lyz "No wonder he can handle people in his company." 

Angga had arrived in front of them still with a smile that did not reach those eyes, Naya patted him on the shoulder saying that Angga was already very good.

Angga kept talking to all of them, responding to their occasional questions he would greet each other with his passing friend.

"Senior!" Angga turned to the side, where the son of Osis and some of his friends greeted, Angga said goodbye to talk to them for a while.

"Cieee officially graduated." Ledek Zain followed the others, Angga was grieving but still laughed softly.

"Gue also feels tired of High School, already want to graduate me." Complaining Baim, Niel patted his head

"Break school"

Ezra and Angga hit him together, Niel snorted but still laughed in satisfaction.

"What's the kid busy?" Angga approached Kenzo who was busy with paper in his hand.

He folded his paper before sighing "Gue has a lot of business, but now it still has to take a word for the seniors."

"Who told you to be Ketos!" Aryan responded "Senior, you run out this is still advanced or the focus of work."

"Continue, education is important because" Angga put his hand in the pocket of his pants "You don't go to learn anyway?"

"Which teacher wants to teach if there is an event" said Afkar "My class must be crazy now" he complained.

After being satisfied talking with his friend, Angga approached his guardian again.

"When did you come?" Angga asked when he saw Lily who had joined the others.

The girl turned her head towards him, she held out a bouquet towards Angga.

"Congratulations, big brother has graduated now" Lily said, Angga chuckled.

Instead of receiving Lily's bouquet, Angga pulled the little girl into her arms, kissing the top of her head.

"Sister!" protesting, they're still at school.

"Thank you" Angga released Lily and took the flower in her hand "But you said you were sick."

Angga was silent, he glanced at the graduation certificate in his hand.

"Aren't you going to go out with brother's friend?"

Angga shook his head "Sister wants to go to Daddy's grave with Mom first. You come with ya!"

As Angga said, after the event was over Angga and Lily's adoptive family left for the tomb. Adapan couple adoptive parents Lily, they come along because for the first time they make a pilgrimage there.

Angga stood in front of him a mound of earth, breathing out long breaths for how many times. She placed flowers on top of each tomb, looking down to pray for them first, Lily did the same.

Angga lowered his head, the tears that he had been holding back from earlier spilled as soon as he looked back at the tomb.

Although her tears continued to fall, Angga kept her from sobbing because she did not say anything. His chest felt very tight, it felt like he wanted to scream that he was not okay now.

He is the same as other teenagers, he wants to be accompanied by his parents during his graduation. She covered her face with her arms, trying to stop crying.

Lily wiped away her tears that were also falling, she pulled Angga's arm around her. Angga buried his face in Lily's embrace, then the sobbing sound that he had just been holding sounded.

Lily just patted slowly on Angga's shoulder while occasionally wiping away her own tears, she did not say a sentence of consolation because she felt what Angga felt.

The four adults also did not say anything, they could only stare at the two teenagers hugging each other, holding each other to strengthen.

Angga released himself, he wiped away his tears. Grabbing his school bag and taking his graduation certificate, he placed it between the two tombs, he over the smallest tomb.

"Now that Brother has officially graduated, Abang's grades are good and Abang will enter the university where Ibu ngajar. " She sighed then looked towards Lily, honestly this was the first time she had brought Lily to her parents' grave.

Lily actually, ever since her father died a few months ago, she's never been to visit again. He somehow felt afraid to come to the tomb, not afraid of ghosts but... He felt very sad and still traumatized.

Feeling Angga wanted to talk to his parents more privacy, they chose to leave and went home first.

Angga pulled Lily slowly to get closer to her, staring towards the three lined tombs. Lily's eyes just saw the small tomb between the two tombs, she saw Angga.

"Sister's sister?" lily asked, Angga saw the tomb, his headstone was written Anggini Natari Erlangga.

"Em." he muttered. "In the future if you go to the tomb with you again, try not to cry anymore."

Lily looked up at Angga, the guy's face flushed with embarrassment. Lily smiled slightly and nodded her head.

"Yes." Yeah."

Angga holding his hand "Mother, Adek. This is Brother's wife, sorry old just brought him here" he said Lily glanced at him "Dad. Maybe you noticed Brother from there, sorry to overhaul Dad's corporate order." He grinned towards the still-new-looking tomb. "Thank you too, I've chosen a beautiful and smart wife."

Lily's face flushed hearing that, she pinched Angga's waist in embarrassment. Angga chuckled while rubbing his waist.

Angga poked back Lily's waist "You don't want to recognize yourself to Mother-in-law with your In-laws?"

She was silent, despite only talking to the mound, inexplicably Lily remained nervous. He glanced at Angga and the guy just nodded his head in favor.

"Mom, Anggi. I'm sorry I just came to visit, my name is Lily, Lilyana Flowerencia Anderson." He turned to Angga again but the guy was silent as if asking him to continue. "Sister Angga takes good care of Lily, Dad. So don't worry, we'll be fine. And... Um... Lily will also introduce Brother Angga to Mother, as soon as possible."

Angga's eyes rounded in shock, he actually did not expect Lily to say that. She looked at Lily who was also already looking at her, the girl smiled with a reddened face.
