The Natakusuma family residence already looks crowded. Many came to express their condolences for the death of the father.
Father's body was taken to the house of papa Aryo after arguing with Bian about where the father's body will be buried before being buried. After a long debate, Bian finally agreed to bring the body of the father to the house of papa Aryo.
Mama Anika helped Dira bring Ara into the room she used to occupy at the house. Dira prepares a change of clothes for Ara, while mom helps Ara to the bathroom.
"Ara can be alone ma.." Said Ara quietly when she was in the bathroom.
"Are you sure, baby?" Ask mama to worry.
Ara nodded weakly in response to Anika's mother's question. Mama Anika sighed then walked out from inside the bathroom.
"Call mama if you need anything, son.." Ara nodded back in response to mother's words.
Ara locked the bathroom door, then turned on the shower. He took a cold shower, hoping to calm himself down a little. But the shadow of the father flashed back in his head. Under the shower, Ara shed her tears as if endless.
"Ara will avenge my father's death". Ara clenched her hands considering that the father's body was being shot right in front of her eyes. Her anger peaked considering how Clara made her beloved person leave this world.
Satisfied with shedding her tears and all her anger, Ara finished her bath and rushed out. He did not want to make Anika and Dira's mama worry about him.
When the bathroom door opened, the faces of his friends looked so sad. Ara used a faint smile to calm her worried-looking best friend.
"Change clothes first.." Said Dira thrusting a black shirt and pants on Ara.
Without answering Dira's words, Ara brought her dress and pants into the bathroom and then put them on. After that he came back out.
"Rba..." Lirih Princess. Ara tried to toughen up and tried to ward off the tears that would spill. But all in vain, he again cried in the arms of his three best friends.
"We know it's hard for you Ra. But we're sure you're strong". Said the Princess tightening her embrace to her sister-in-law.
"You have to be strong, Ra.we are all there for you". Salsa added. Ara nodded weakly in the arms of her best friends.
Satisfied channeling her sadness in the arms of her best friend, Ara is led by the Princess walking out. Sit Ara's body beside the father's body.
Ara's eyes never separated from the body that had been stretched stiff in front of him. His gaze was so empty, only tears kept flowing down his cheeks.
A pat on his shoulder made him look. Looks mama Dini who shook her head weakly "You can't be like this continue dear. Auntie knows you're sick left by your father, but your father is happy in heaven, son".
"Yes aunt.." Ara replied slowly then wiped away her tears.
"Son..." Ara raised her head to look at the owner of the voice calling out to her. His tears rolled back to see the woman he often called his mother was already next to him, bringing him into his warm embrace. Raisya, who is behind her mother, hugs Ara, trying to give strength to the fragile girl who was destroyed by being abandoned by her beloved father.
"You must be strong deck.I'm not sure you're strong". Raisya's whisper in her arms.
"Father bund.."
"Your father has calmed down, dear, do not bring your father with your tears. Ikhlaskan.do your best for him. Mother knows you are a righteous child.your prayer will be heard". Mother's advice answered a weak nod by Ara.
All who saw Ara could only shed her tears, as if they were also feeling the pain and destruction of Ara at this time.
###
The funeral went well, only the closest people were still standing next to the pusara pak.
Ara sat beside the mound of dirt that was still wet, stroking the board that read the name of the father. The tears he tried to endure always fell and fell. Many times he rubbed his tears, but at that time the clear liquid again soaked his face.
"Father calm down there.thank you father has been the best father for Ara. Sorry eneng belom can make you proud, belom can make you happy". Ara wiped away the falling tears without her control.
"We're going home on deck.." Bian's voice resuscitated Ara from her daydream. He looked up at the face of the older brother who looked as sad as he was. He nodded with a faint smile, then stroked the father's tomb board again. He rose up assisted by the elder brother, walking side by side leaving the father who had rested in eternity following their mother who had already left this world.

Currently Ara is packing clothes and all her belongings are assisted by Dira and Putri. After the father's funeral, Bian decided to bring his sister to live with him and his wife until later when Ara married Dev.
"Why the hell do you want to move Ra. Can Kaga do that here?" Tanya Dira was sad.
"Kaga can. Masa ama elo mulu, I am now her brother. So it's my turn to be this brat". Not Ara but the Princess who answered immediately.
"Hish.so proud to be her sister. I'm also his sister-in-law's candidate" Cibir Dira with pursed lips.
Ara smiled faintly at the debate of her two best friends. He put the last item in a suitcase that is not too big. Ara stroked the thing before putting it in the suitcase.
"Silent father in heaven". Lirih Ara stroked the photo of herself and the father who looked smiling.
"You are calm, Ra.." The princess stroked Ara's shoulders to strengthen her sister-in-law. Ara nodded weakly answering the Princess's words.
Finished packing, Ara walked out of her room. Bian had been waiting for him in the guest room not far from his room. There is also Dev and his parents and his two best friends and the two parents of the Princess.
"Do you have to take her away Bi??" Ask mama Anika sad.
"Just while Ara is married to Dev, she will stay here again". Bian calming.
Mama Anika breathed a rough breath. He could not hold Ara now that Grace was dead. So the responsibility for Ara moved on to her brother.
"Play here often, baby. Mama will miss you so much" said Anika's mother interjected by her embrace. Ara smiled and nodded.
Already 1 week Ara lived in the house of the sister, during that time the girl spent more time in the room. He did not return after his father's departure.
The door of his room was knocked, making him get up and walk open the door of his room. The beautiful face of the sister-in-law who also has the status of her best friend.
"Eat yuk.from the morning lo belom eat. Ntar fainted I'm not strong lift it". Princess Canda.
"Gue belom laper Put.ntar I ate it myself. You eat first brother". Decline Ara.
Princess exhales rough "Mau nyampe when are you rich gini Ra? Don't you like your brother? Ama brother Dev? Everyone who loves you the same. Don't you say father? Father same mother must be sad to see lo rich gini". It's enough that this 1 week Princess let Ara lock herself up. Now he must make his friend open his eyes wide and continue his life.
Ara looked down at the Princess's words. The sense of loss to the figure of the hero is still in control of his heart and mind until he forgets that there are still many people who are so loving and worried about him.
"All sad to lose Mr. Ra.gue tau lo deket terribly same father. Lo love the same father.but we can what if God turns out to be more loving father? We as children can only pray for her Ra" The princess hugged Ara who still kept silent on hearing all her words.
"Lo must rise.lo can not keep gini. Inget.there are still us who love and need you". The princess let go of her embrace and held Ara's hand.
"We eat now yes.kasian a Bian has been waiting for it".
Bian smiled seeing his wife manage to persuade his sister to eat. For a week he had not seen his brother eat properly.

hoeks..
hoeks..
hoeks..
Ara stopped her steps when she heard someone's voice coming from the kitchen. Her brother had been away at work since morning, so it must have been the voice of his sister-in-law.
Ara walked quickly to the Princess who was removing her entrails in the bathroom near the kitchen.
tock.tok.
"Put..lu why?? Open door". Said Ara in front of the bathroom door.
The bathroom door opened, revealing the Princess' pale face which made Ara panic. He helped the Princess walk and then sat her down at the dinner table. Ara hurriedly took out some water and gave it to the Princess who looked limp after removing her entrails.
"Lu why? Wind in?" Ask Ara worried.
"Dragon knows me.from morning nausea gini, my head is dizzy".
"We're going to the doctor now. Yes, your man's a doctor but his son's sick as a diobatin".
"Ntar also healed himself Ra. Kaga to get a doctor.." Reject Princess
"Lu want me to be slashed by your men if you know you're sick continue me atem aja". Omel Ara makes Princess grimace.
"Royal change of clothes. I'm anterin you now". Ara helped the Princess walk into her room. Then he went to the room where he took his cell phone and wallet.
Ara took the keys to the car on the table and then stepped down the stairs to pick up the Princess. Bian did buy a car to facilitate the activities of his sister and wife.
"Still dizzy?" Ara asked the Princess who was leaning her head. The princess shook her head weakly "A little doang". Answer weakly.
"Don't talk about me from earlier you mah. Aja lu petihara disease, want to keep mah the benefits. Fish cake, chicken cake. Disease maintained!". Ara's mouth continues to grumble making the Princess share her happy smile to see Ara has returned chatty if with her.
The princess refuses when Ara wants to take her to the hospital where Bian works. He had a clinic not too far from his home. Ara just resignedly followed the wishes of the Princess, rather than untreated Ara thought.
After waiting for a while, the Princess' name was called. Ara came in to accompany the Princess. The girl was asked to lie down by the doctor, then the doctor examined the state of the Princess.
"Where is my sister doc?" Ara asked after the doctor sat down.
The doctor smiled looking at Ara who looked so worried about the Princess.
"Your sister is fine, miss. This is a natural thing to happen.." Obviously the doctor made Ara's eyebrows wrinkled.
"When did you last menstruate?" Ask the doctor about the princess.
"Well, how is it. The guy was vomiting, what's normal about Doc? Sick people are natural". Ara's grumbling made the doctor widen his smile.
The princess nudged Ara's arm while glaring to hear Ara speak to the doctor.
"I forgot the doctor.." Answer the Princess.
"Madam Princess is fine. Nausea and dizziness are natural for people who are pregnant". The doctor made both of them understand.
"Oooh.pregnant" answered the two compactly, but a moment later the two looked at each other
"PREGNANT?!!!". Shouted both and managed to make the doctor cover his ears.
"Yes.nyama Princess is pregnant. But to be sure, it would be better if you check it with an obstetrician". The doctor's advice and immediately answered a nod of the head by Ara. While the Princess, she was still silent. He was still surprised by the fact that he was two-bodied.
