Loving Brother-in-law

Loving Brother-in-law
Darma Cemetery



Riyu, grandson. Maybe when you read this letter I've gone far away with peace, but I'm not worried because there's Sam who will replace me. I am grateful, because at the end of the journey I was still given the opportunity to meet and see my granddaughter. Be happy, grandfather will always be with you. _Darma_'s


Various forms of condolence flower arrangements were affected along the X funeral path, "So saddened by the passing of Darma Saputra. May you rest in peace"


Darma Cemetery was also attended by important people from the city of Y, they felt very lost because during this time Darma Union company helped them a lot, became a motivation for many people. But the leader was killed in a terrible way in the hands of greedy criminals, and they regretted not being able to help anything. May the tragedy of the blood war of the business world, just get here.


Riyu looked at Darma's coffin with tears, her body wrapped in a black dress a sign that she was being overwhelmed by grief, a vigora attached to a photo of Darma clasped tightly in her arms. It was very anxious to shout when the officers who were lowering the chest into the grave I beg you not to go to the cake, but if Riyu can not let go, it will be a burden for Darma there.


Amidst her shattered feelings, a warm grasp came from the person beside her right, Sam, standing firmly grasping Ryu tightly. Highlight his eyes continue to see the coffin that has now entered the grave.


I clasped your granddaughter's hand now, Riyu has become part of my breath, I won't leave her alone and I promise to take care of her. Go in peace Grandpa Darma, our blessing.


Sam stepped closer to the grave, he took a handful of burial ground and threw it into the burrow, crashing into the cold darma chest. After that, the funeral officials immediately closed Darma's tomb. Riyu's cry exploded again, Sam held her tightly. It was hard to see the grandfather being hoarded by the ground, although unable, but Riyu was unable to get out of the funeral before performing her final homage.


The funeral was over, Riyu sat leaning back and looked blankly out the car window. Occasionally his breath was stung due to the rest of the sobbing that was still left behind. Is this a curse? Tell me God, why is my family always dying in such a horrible way? Are you going to give me the same fate as well?!


"Riyu, do you doubt me?" sam said suddenly, as if understanding what Ryu was resting in his musings, Sam clasped Riyu's hand tightly.


Now his wet eyes turned to the figure of the man beside him, the man who had been fighting for him all this time. Rela fighting the entire family was even willing to risk her life for her sake, a calm look that always made Riyu unable to turn away from her.


"sorry. I'm sorry, Sam" Ryu shifted right into her arms. "I almost forgot that you're by my side now, I even forgot that Noval divorced me" Riyu sobbed.


"Bas stupid" Sam smiled gently. "So we're not brothers-in-law anymore, are we?" said Sam. Riyu looked up her head staring.


"Former brother-in-law?" ask Riyu rasping.


"No. But my bride-to-be" said Sam and then kissed her forehead.


A wide smile adorned the two faces, no, but three smiling faces were relieved. Aji who focuses on driving also feels a happy heart to see the two people who love each other can finally unite. Cars cut open the streets of the city, they will return first to the villa to pick up the little Dhea before returning to the Mahesa Residence.


Mahesh.... Of course he already knows what has happened, Mahesa is on her way now. Ever since he heard the news of his wife who died, he prefers to be alone and lock his mouth. His heart was certainly broken, not broken because Nita was gone. But devastated that all this time she had been fighting for the wrong woman, Mahesa regretted that she had neglected the woman who loved her even, throwing her away like scrap for the sake of a shard of a roadside shard. And now, he just felt the shard of the shard stab in every vein of his heart.


Mahesa stared out the window of the plane, which was hovering above the clouds, Nita... Why are you so willing to betray me, even you can hurt your own son. Mahesa let out a long sigh, I don't know what she should express at Nita's funeral. Saddened? But what is sad for? While the woman does deserve death rather than life but hurt a lot of people. Getting angry? Sure, angry, disappointed, upset. But it's all for nothing because Nita's gone.

"Young mom, fierce Om, has come home" greeted Dhea who immediately ran over to Riyu and Sam who had just entered. Although her eyes cannot be hidden, Riyu tries to smile as Dhea hugs her.


"What did you call me?!" sam's protest glared at Dhea.


"Om Sam, I'm hungry" said Dhea, diverting the discussion.


"Curtain, basic"


"Sam, are you also going to antagonize a child? Look at this cute face, isn't she so adorable?" Riyu smiled. "Let's Mama feed you" Riyu carried Dhea to the dining table.


"Hey, didn't you take me?!" Sam protests, Dhea glances over Riyu's shoulder and laughs at Sam. "Awas you're a little boy. I'll bite your cheek later! Troublesome" Sam nagged following them to the dining table.


"Sam, is Mama Nita's funeral tomorrow, Noval can go?" riyu asked, her hand was busy cooking food for Dhea.


"Let's see, I don't think Noval would want to attend the funeral" Sam replied, biting his apple.


"Young man, who's Nita?" ask Dhea curious.


"You remember the evil witch yesterday? It's Nita!" sahut Sam at will.


"Brah!" protres Riyu's. He didn't think it was good to talk like that with a child.


"What dear? I'm talking honestly" Sam raised both his hands. While Riyu glanced at him sharply.


"Dhea, Nita is your grandmother" said Riyu softly.


"Grandmother? But why did he pinch me mama?"


"Om told me he... "


"Don't listen to the talk of bad omens! Now finish your food. After that you have to go to bed early, tomorrow we will wake up early and go see Noval's father and Maya's mother. Okay?" What power Sam, Ryu is more defending Dhea than he is.


Early in the morning, Dhea woke up the whole house because she could not wait to meet her father and mother. The most disturbed person who is certainly Sam, even the sun has not gone up, Dhea has climbed into Sam's body to wake Sam to prepare to leave. Early in the morning Aji came along and brought some change of clothes for Dhea.


In the car Dhea and Riyu are busy chatting, while Sam is still closed with ears that are tightly closed with earphones.


"Young man, said we're going to the hospital. But why the plane terminal?" tanya Dhea was busy tracing the airport with her eyes.


"Haha, this isn't a terminal, baby. But the airport, we're gonna pick up grandpa first and then we're gonna go to the hospital together. Okay?"


"Dhea have a grandfather?" she asked as she looked at Riyu with her round eyes, her gaze completely resembled Maya, firm but loving as well as cheerful. Riyu gently stroked Dhea's head.


"Sure, you have a grandfather" Riyu sculpted, her heart trembling again as she said Grandfather. Like me, I have a grandfather. The best grandfather in the world. Sam exits his car door, and Ryu is shocked and hides his almost unstoppable eyes.


They had seen Mahesa coming out of Aji's loby bowing and welcoming him and helping Mahesa to put the goods in the car trunk.


"Papa" greeted Riyu and Sam simultaneously. Mahesa hugs Sam, then Riyu, she strokes Riyu's back.


"You are steadfast" said Mahesa. Riyu nodded and smiled.


After that, Mahesa's gaze was fixed on a little girl hiding behind Riyu's feet.


"Your grandchild. Who else?" replied Sam in a lazy tone.


"My granddaughter?" Mahesa knitted her brows. "It's only been a few days that you guys have been together, I've had grandchildren this big?" Mahesa doesn't believe it.


"Surprise" Sam grinned. At that instant, Riyu immediately patted Sam's stomach until he was grinned because of pain.


"Don't listen to him pa, this is Dhea, papa's grandson. Dhea is the baby of Noval and Maya" Ryu explains.


"What?? Noval and Maya" Mahesa is increasingly distrustful and clueless.


"Pa, I'll tell you later for your bedtime story. Now we better get going, I'm hungry! This little devil didn't give me a chance to have breakfast this morning!" Sam frowned and got into the car.


"Baa... All right" said Mahesa. His gaze could not be separated from Dhea who occasionally peeked at him and went back to hide in Riyu's legs. Mahesa bowed, now the tiny face was clearly afraid of him. "Haha, sweet boy. Don't you want to hug your grandfather?" mahesa said with a warm smile.


Dhea glanced at Mahesa's face, making sure that Mahesa was not a bad person. Dhea was somewhat traumatized by Mumbir's treatment back then. Upon seeing Mahesa's smiling face, Dhea approached Mahesa doubtfully, looking up at the smiling Riyu and nodding at her. After Dhea stood in front of her, Mahesa grabbed her, lifting Dhea into her arms.


"Oh my God, look. She's so cute and pretty. Why are you afraid of Grandpa? Come here sitting in front, grandfather will hold you" said Mahesa with excitement, like having gotten a beautiful gift. Without saying anything suddenly Dhea hugged Mahesa, like a child who had just met his father.


"Grandpa's a good man, right? Then Dhea dear grandfather" said Dhea.


Riyu and Mahesa smilingly caressed Dhea's head. "Hey, can you please put off this heartwarming drama?" sam shouted from the car. He was impatient because he was hungry. Riyu laughed, they rushed into the car.

Hospital


Maya is still lying unconscious, now Maya is still being treated in the ICU room, until now she still has not opened her eyes. For people who want to visit it is also limited, no more than two people should also use special clothes to keep it sterile. Sam and Mahesa wait outside the room, although they also want to see Maya, but Sam and Mahesa are more concerned with Riyu and Dhea who come to visit Maya. Riyu grasped Maya's soft hand. "Let's realize, look, don't you want to see your daughter? She is very intelligent and beautiful just like you" whispered Riyu trembling.


"Mama" Dhea touched Maya's cheek with her tiny finger. "Young man, is mom sleeping?" ask Dhea plain.


"Dear, your mother is still sleeping" explains Riyu. Dhea may still not understand the true state of Maya.


"Mama, Dhea now has Mama. Dhea also has a father and grandfather. Mama let's get up, later we can play together, mama" said Dhea staring at Maya expectantly. But Maya did not budge at all, Riyu tried not to cry, but she was very sad tears could no longer be dammed.


Riyu looked at Maya, but her eyes caught a reaction on Maya's body. It is clearly visible right at the end of Maya's eyes that are closed out clear liquid like tears. Ryu brought his face closer. "May... Maya. "he shook Maya's hand slowly, but still no reaction. Riyu pressed the button on the side of the hospital bed, shortly after which Lukman's doctor came.


"What's wrong Miss?" lukman asked directly to check on Maya.


"Doctor, Maya reacted earlier, I saw tears coming out" Riyu said anxiously. "Doctor, will Maya wake up soon?"


Some time Lukman was silent focus on checking Maya's condition. "Unbelievable Miss, her heart rate is starting to stabilize. Progress is very rapid" Lukman smiled, then he looked at Dhea.


"This is Dhea doc, she's Maya's biological child" said Riyu who can immediately answer Lukman's question who asked through the look of his eyes. At once, Lukman knew why Maya could have the spirit to fight her subconscious.


"Your presence will make Mama Maya quickly recover" Lukman smiled at Dhea, his reply also made Riyu breathe a sigh of relief. After Lukman's doctor examined him, Riyupun came out of Maya's room.


In one room, Noval was sitting on a hospital bed looking out the window. Even when Mahesa went inside, Noval did not hear him. "How are you my son?" mahesa asked in a calm voice, he was standing on the side of the bed now, while the others were still standing looking at Noval and Mahesa.


Noval remained silent, her heart quivering when she heard Mahesa's voice alarming her. But Noval also felt ashamed of Mahesa. Do I still deserve to be called your son? What is still appropriate after what is done by Mama and also... Me you. Noval struggled with her feelings.


"Go" said Noval lirih.


"You're expelling your Papa, Noval?" Mahesa.


"You're not my father, Mr. Mahesa!" Noval trembled at Mahesa sharply with red eyes. "I don't deserve to be your son! Not deserved"


As if unconcerned by Noval's speech, Mahesa picked up a box of chocolates she had brought from England, then sat on the edge of a hospital bed right in front of Noval. "When you're a teenager, you love this chocolate" Mahesa said, opening a chocolate bar and feeding it to Noval's mouth. "Even every time you go to England you always ask to be brought this chocolate. Eat up"


Noval turned his face away, "Go away" he said. Mahesa put back the chocolate she had opened.


"Look Noval, this hand once led you when we went out together, didn't it?" Mahesa opened her palm.


"I raised you with this hand, we lived together not just for a day or two. We lived together for decades. You eat with the food I buy! You're wearing the clothes I bought! Even you're having fun with my hard-earned money. Now that you've grown up, you're telling me that I'm not your father and you dare to throw me away?!. Didn't you hurt my feelings enough Noval!" mahesa said in a high tone but quivering.


Noval fell silent, still turning his face away, not daring to look at Mahesa.


"Even I wasted your brother Sam to spoil you!" mahesa said in red and pointed at Sam who was standing behind him. Noval began to tremble, her chest rose and fell to the rhythm of her breathing, then a cry burst out just like that, her body instantly crashing into Mahesa tightly.


"I'm sorry pa, sorry" said Noval sobbed in Mahesa's arms.


"Remember. Until whenever you are my son. Understood?" Mahesa shook patting Noval's shoulder slowly.


"See. Even until now you still don't care about me, and just let me stand in silence without hugs" said Sam began more. Yes, lebai hmmm.


Riyu who was moved so laughed because of Sam's envious behavior, Mahesa laughed looking at Sam. "Come here, you little man!" Noval opened both of his hands, welcoming Sam into his arms. "So we're sister now?" said Noval.


"Alright, even though it sounds ridiculous but I agree" Sam said and patted Noval on the back.


"Arrghs. Your basic pain... Argh" said Noval, his face was immediately red due to a painful wound. Sam forgot that Noval had a gunshot wound on his back.


"Hey, you guys are so busy making peace that you forget we're here too?" riyu protest from earlier just stood looking at that heartwarming moment.


"Riyu, Dhea? Dhea hugged me here" at once, Dhea ran into Noval's arms. Many times Noval kissed Dhea, she had indeed lost her mother, but she was also grateful that God had presented a baby so cute and beautiful.
