Love Story of Irene

To mother's grave

The distance from the uncle's house to the mother's grave is not too far, it only takes 10 minutes to ride a vehicle. After buying a few flower stalks, sow flowers and mineral water they walked into the cemetery. Irene started sobbing. Because for the last 2 years he did not go on pilgrimage, he missed his mother very much.

Arriving at the mother's tomb, Irene immediately rushed to hug the mother's tombstone while having a little. Mom I miss you, Irene's heart.

Aunty held onto both of Irene's shoulders, trying to calm her down and give her a little strength through her touch. While Ivone was beside the tombstone of his mother who was next to him who also began to sob.

They pluck out the growing weeds, sprinkle sow flowers, and water the mother's grave. Ivone and Irene put the stalk flower into a vase that was on the right and left side of the mother's headstone. Then the uncle started to recite the prayer and was followed by the three of them. After finishing praying, the uncle asked the aunt to wait in the parking lot, leaving Ivone and Irene alone.

"Mother, how are you doing there? I hope it's okay, ma'am." Irene was crying again.

"Mom, thank you so much Mom for giving me an angel-like sister. She's an amazing sister, mom, she never complained in front of me, even though I actually knew she was tired, she was tired. But he always looked strong and always encouraged me ma'am. Brother never gives up even if it's beyond his means." Irene was still as unwilling as Ivone also began to break her tears.

"Mom, please pray mother's blessing yes, because I will find a job. I've now got the title of S2 ma'am, and it's all because of sister's hard work. He was very active in sending me to school mom, I'm sure mom must have seen from up there how the persistence of my sister sent me. I must be proud of you, sister, I'm proud of you too." Irene wiped her tears.

"Mom, now I'm so happy. I finished my studies with very good grades. Hopefully in the future just smoothly yes ma'am. Oh yes ma'am, I also wish that my sister is happy for herself as well. I don't want you to think about me always. I also want to see my sister live happily. We both pray for my sister, ma'am." Irene was still speechless vaping all that was in her heart.

My little sister is really talking a lot right now. Spill all your heart out Irene. I must be looking forward to your visit. And whatever you pray may be granted, amen.

After some time Ivone and Irene left the mother's grave, they approached the uncle and aunt who had been waiting in the car for a long time.

At uncle's house

True Ivone said, along the way to the uncle's house there are new buildings. Green trees are still growing, tea plantations also look very neat in the rows. This is their hometown, a place that teaches them to stand tall as a rock.

"Uncle how's Tio doing, is the lecture going well in the city?" Irene asked the eldest son of the uncle.

"She's fine, she'll definitely pay a visit to your apartment." Uncle's car started to enter the yard.

"What time are you back in town?" Auntie

"Now we'll start packing bi, if you're afraid we're stuck in traffic again." Timpal Ivone predicted.

"Well, that's good, but before you leave you have lunch." Uncle

Ivone and Irene packed their things, then had lunch at uncle's behest. Uncle is so the person, firm, authoritative, because uncle is a teacher. Uncle is the brother of his only mother, Ivone and Irene's life can not be separated from the interference of the uncle.

"Here, you guys take the provisions on the road later." Aunty put a cardboard box that had been wrapped in plastic on the dining table.

"Uncle, aunt thank you very much for your kindness. From childhood we always felt your love that never broke. We don't feel like orphans anymore." Ivone looked at aunt uncle in turn.

Uncle took a deep breath.

"What are you talking about here Ivone. We are your biological family, your uncles and aunts and cousins love you very much. How many times did my uncle say that. Live with happiness. O yes, your uncles and aunts are waiting for good news from you."

Ivone and Irene got up from sitting down. They rushed into the arms of uncle and aunt, long enough they embraced. They finally came home.

"Yes Tia, you are diligent in learning. Later brother will also come here again." Irene hugged Tia.

"Uncle, aunty please pray yes so that Irene can quickly work as she wants." Ivone

"Yes it must be dear, you must support each other yes.you must also protect each other. If there's anything, call uncle or aunt." Auntie

Uncle stuffed the suitcase into the trunk and sat behind the wheel. He's taking his nephew to the terminal. Irene and Ivone waved to aunt and Tia, while the car slowly started to speed away.

In the terminal again

Uncle took the suitcase out of the trunk. Once again the uncle hugged Ivone and Irene alternately. For some reason he shed tears, he quickly wiped away the tears to avoid being seen.

"Ivone's.. Irene. Take good care of yourself. There is a lot of crime in the city. Take care of your pride and sanctity. Dating may be, but do not get involved in promiscuity. Uncle's prayer is always with you." Uncle kissed them on the forehead.

"Yes uncle, we'll always remember uncle's message."

"Wait here."

Uncle went to the counter to buy a ticket. The afternoon was not too crowded but not quiet as well, hopefully they were not stuck in traffic like yesterday. They did not board the train because there was a rail repair. If you take the train, it will be faster.

"Let's take uncle to the bus." The uncle pointed at the bus in question.

After finding the bench number Irene and Ivone sat down. Uncle gave me the ticket he bought earlier.

"You guys be careful on the road." Uncle

"Yes uncle." They kissed the back of uncle's hand.

"Uncle just go home, 15 minutes later we will leave.

"Okay, good luck to you guys." Uncle

"Amin, thank you uncle."

Uncle got off and headed for the car. He went straight home.

Irene took the laptop from her backpack, turned it on, and searched something. Ivone noticed Irene and glanced at the laptop.

Ohh turns out he's looking for a job. I'll let him, he'll know what to do.

The bus left the village. This time the trip was crowded smoothly, not as chaotic as yesterday.They only took 6 hours less to get to the capital.
