Love of a Poor Girl

The Part 211

Morning time.

People have gathered at Steven Walker's house. They will accompany the body of Galih who will soon be buried.

There were sobs from the orphanage children and others.

Slowly the coffins of the corpse that had contained the body of Galih were lifted to the final resting place.

Only a few people who stayed did not go to public funerals including Azizah and her baby.

Mariska who was in the room just crying could not accept the reality, she really looked very sad in her room.

Why did everyone I loved die? Both my parents left me for good and now Galih is leaving me for good.

“Hiks.... hiks... Why is it like this? Why did Coneh leave me when I always accompanied you and invited you to talk even though you did not answer, did I never hear Coneh?”

1 Hour later.

At the public cemetery.

Galih had finally been completely buried. One by one the mourners left the public funeral.

When Galih and her parents left they were surprised to see Mariska running around and often fell down until the long skirt she was wearing was filled with dirt.

The girl ran and finally reached Galih's grave.

“Marisk!” steven and his parents.

“Leave Mariska and Galih here!” mariska Pinta.

Adam gave a small nod to his wife which meant agreeing to the request of his nephew.

“Let's leave Mariska, give her time here.”

Steven leaves with his parents and leaves Mariska alone.

“Hiks... Coneh, am I just your joke? On December 31, didn't you say we were going to celebrate the new year and set off so many fireworks? But, why did you deny it and instead choose to sleep in the grave?”

Mariska cried incessantly, the girl really did not accept the departure of Galih the man who had been accompanying her even though they had fought at the beginning.

“I hope all this is just my nightmare, I hope that this is just a sleeping flower.”

“To be honest I love you Coneh, even though I initially lied to myself. But, this is the fact that the girl you used to call Ceneh liked her Coneh!” mariska Shouts.

Long enough Mariska in the grave Galih until finally he returned unconscious.

A few minutes later.

A middle-aged man who was cleaning the tomb was shocked to see a woman who had fainted above the cemetery.

“Astagfirullah,” said.

The man watched the fainted woman.

“Yeah, isn't this his sister mr. steven.”

He decides to tell Steven as soon as possible.

Steven and the others were in the living room talking to the orphanage manager.

“Assalamualaikum!” said Mr. Kardi with hunting breath.

Residents of the house were surprised and approached Pak Kardi.

“What's up sir?” ask Adam.

“Anu Tuan, non Mariska passed out in the grave!”

The deg!

Adam and Steven followed Mariska to the funeral.

Arriving at the funeral they were both surprised to see Mariska lying right above Galih's grave.

“Papi raised your sister. You open the car door!”

“Good pi.”

“Yes Allah son,” said Adam and carried the body of his nephew.

Steven who was driving a car just quietly did not say a word, he was really sad to see his cousin's sister who looked so pitiful.

“Maniska where you might want Pi if invited to the UK,” reply Steven.

“You don't want him to have to want to, papi can't see him living like this.”

“Better papi ask Mariska first, because the decision is in the hands of mariska.”

Their car finally entered the yard.

Adam carried her nephew's body back and took him to Mariska's room.

Yuli immediately cried to see the condition of Mariska which was filled with land, she could not bear to see the beloved girl look very sad.

“Yes Allah son, you why it looks so sad,” Yuli said while cleaning up the remnants of the soil that stuck in Mariska's face.

Yuli cleansed Mariska's face by crying.

A few minutes later.

Mariska slowly opened her eyes and looked at her aunt.

“Mami... hiks.. Galih mi,” said Mariska while hugging Yuli's body.

“Iya nak mami know.”

“Why did Galih also leave Mariska mi? why do the people Mariska loves leave Mariska forever? Is Mariska not destined to be happy mi?” Mariska kept asking about her fate to the woman she was holding.

Yuli could not answer, the woman continued to cry.

“Mi please tell me that this is just a lie! Mariska didn't even see Galih's face for the last time.”

“Why did mommy or the others not wake Mariska up to see Galih, why? hiks... hiks...”.

Yuli stroked the back of her nephew very gently.

“Son, we as human beings cannot do anything if God wills. Man may plan, but it is God who wills son,” replied Yuli.

Mariska no longer asked, the girl chose to spill her sadness in Yuli's arms.

**

In the room.

Steven stared at the plain face of his wife lying down with their baby.

Mariska of course felt a deep sadness, I myself even felt sadness when our wife and children were on the verge of Death.

“Honey!” call Azizah to see her husband just standing there watching her.

Steven was surprised by his daydreams and approached his wife.

“Iya dear,” replied Steven and joined lying down to accompany his wife.

“Honey, is Mariska okay now?” ask Azizah.

“Mariska is not okay dear, while at the funeral..” said Steven hanging his words.

“What's the matter dear?” asked Azizah restlessly.

“Mariska passed out and is now in her room,” Steven replied.

Azizah moved her body and decided to meet her sister-in-law. However, when his feet just touched the floor the husband immediately held himself back.

“Honey, you better give time to Mariska. Mom is still in Mariska's room.”

“But darling..”.

“If Mariska has calmed down, you can find her. Now accompany Farhan!”

Azizah finally undoes her intention and lies down again with her baby with Steven.

“Darling, does Mariska have to be here? I mean if he should not look for a new atmosphere, I am afraid that Mariska always imagined with her togetherness with Galih,” said Azizah.

“That's also what I'm afraid dear, Mariska is too young to feel this kind of sadness. I'm afraid his past will interfere with his future, papi actually already plans to return to England and invite Mariska,” explained Steven seriously.

“I think it's a good idea baby, slowly but surely Mariska will come back as cheerful as ever.”

Steven hugged his wife's body hoping she could calm down for a while.
