Loving Brother-in-law

Funeral (part 2)

Nita Cemetery

I didn't expect that you could make it this far, Mama Nita. Indirectly you killed my grandfather, maybe even you conspired with Mumbar on my parents' death. I really hate you, but in honor of Papa Mahesa, I was forced to pay your funeral homage. _Riyu_

Nita's funeral is not as crowded as Darma's funeral, which is present there only families, some servants who bring flower arrangements and photos of Nita. Noval was also present despite having to ride in a wheelchair because of the condition that had not recovered, his eyes were straight looking at Nita's chest that was being lowered into the burrow. Dhea saw her grandmother's funeral procession from Riyu's sling, her tiny hands tightly coiled around Riyu's neck. As for Sam, he just stood watching with his cold gaze, who knew Nita would rise up and then suddenly attack. Oh come on Sam, this isn't a zombie story. Horror.

Mahesa stepped closer to the burrow, her hands roaring a handful of earth, she was silent for a moment staring intently at the ground clasped tightly in her hands. Then dropped the ground on Nita's chest. After that, the funeral attendant immediately started digging to bury him. "May you be at peace there. May the Lord forgive all the sins you have committed" Mahesh said in his heart. He stands next to Ryu and Noval.

Now that a tombstone bearing the name Nita has stood in the wet tomb, Noval spreads the ground surface with flowers that have been prepared before. "I love you so much Ma, but why at the end of your life, you instill hate in my heart. I hope you can relax there." During the funeral process, Noval was more silent without expression, there was only a void that was painted in her eyes.

Mahesa turns to holding Dhea now that Ryu helps push the wheelchair Noval was riding in, after the funeral after they returned to her car. Riyu knows Noval's feelings, his eyes look at Noval from behind his back, a betrayed child must be very disappointed. Noval's face looked so pale, cold sweat clumped on his back. Every now and then Riyu observed Noval with an anxious face. Arriving in the car Sam helped Noval to climb into the back seat, but when his hands away from Noval's back, immediately Sam's hands were covered in blood.

"Sam, Noval?" Riyu anxiously tilted her head. Sam stared at his bloodied hands. "Sam let's hurry we have to get Noval to the hospital!" riyu. Sam nodded, but just as Riyu was about to climb into the backseat.

"Woow Miss, what do you want to do?" sam said to confront Riyu.

"I'm going to sit with Noval in the back" Riyu said in surprise.

"Certainly? You're gonna sit next to him and let his head rest on your shoulders? Nah! Let me sit in the back, you sit in the front"

"But Sam. "not yet, Riyu said Sam had gotten into the car. "Basic! Such a precarious situation, still jealous. "

"Riyu, what happened to Noval?" asked Mahesa who heard the commotion.

"There was bleeding in Noval pa's wound, but papa don't worry we'll take her to the hospital soon. Papa, you better go home with Dhea"

"Alright, you guys be careful" said Mahesa resigned.

"Dhea, mama and Om go first huh. You obey Grandpa" Riyu kisses Dhea and rushes into the car, Aji drives his car to the hospital.

Other than the Mahesa Family, the one who felt the sorrow back then was Lila. After a giant mill collapses on the eve of the new year, Lila goes overseas to escape Noval's anger. He was afraid that Noval would really finish him off. Until a few days ago, hearing her mother cry, calling her told her that Mumbar was gone. The news of Mumbar's death forced him to return and attend his funeral, at that time he was new if it turned out that Mumbar was not his biological father. But even though the reality is so bitter, Lila still felt lost because Mumbar had been so fond of her.

"Noval, Sam, Ryu. You guys are the names I put at the top of my blacklist. Besides for papa, my hatred for you is also because I can't get either of Noval or you're Sam. As long as I'm still breathing, I won't let you live in peace. Wait retaliation.

Lila goes empty-handed to her car, the Mumbar company has been taken over, there's nothing left for her, as punishment for the loss she has been forced to make. his life is now down and he has to live it again from zero. Lila had to start from the rest of her mother's wealth alone, because the legacy company of her late grandfather had been merged with the company of Mumbir long ago.

The sound of sobbing at night was heard from the mouth of a woman who was sitting staring blankly at the chair in Mahesa's room, her eyes were too swollen but her tears could not stop wetting her cheeks.

Despite knowing the fact that Mumbur is still fighting for his heart on Nita, but living together for 25 years is not a short time. Especially all this time he was very attentive to her. Lila was speechless looking at Dini who was crying looking at the family vigura that was plastered on the Montrol desk.

"Mama. It's late, you have to rest" said Lila, her hands gently stroking Dini's back which was still shaking sobbing.

"Before a while" he replied softly in a hoarse tone.

"Mama I will avenge all the deeds of the Maheshites and Galuh!" Lila stared hard. Early on, his swollen eyes immediately stared intently at his daughter.

"What are you saying" said Dini vibrating.

"I'll take revenge for papa" Lila held her neck. Not just for the sake of his papa but also for the pain of not getting Sam.

"Do you want to be the same fate as your father?!" He grabbed both of Lila's shoulders. "Answer! Didn't you learn from your papa Lila's mistakes?! For the sake of greed, for the sake of revenge he died in a terrible way. Do you want to be like that too?!" speaking in a high and vibrating tone. Lila's gaze now bowed, slowly sobbing also coming out of her lips.

"Mama's tired, mama wants to live in peace, Lila. Forget revenge, after this we'll go to America and live there" Dini left.

"But Ma... "

"Remember what Mama said just now, I don't want to lose you Lila"

Lila stood empty in the quiet room of Mumbar. He slammed his body onto the sofa, recalling Sam's face that had always ignored him. I'm sorry ma, sorry if one day I broke your words. Lila was pensive for a long time in the room.

At the hospital in the evening.

The silent room with a dim light accompanied Noval who was still busy with her wishful thinking, the shadow of Dhea's cute face made the longing feeling of wanting to hug and listen to her innocent babble. How not. Just a few hours after being separated for many years now he must recover the condition of the body used to be able to play with him again. Although yesterday he had bleeding on his wound, now it was fine. Noval pulled out the infusion needle still attached to her left hand, walking slowly to hold her chest towards the nursery that Maya occupied.

"Sir, why are you out of the room! Your condition is still lacking, " said the nurse who happened to pass in the corridor where Noval walked.

"Okay sir, I'll help you. But can you wait a minute? I would take a wheelchair so that Mr. Mister could go to Miss Maya's room" the nurse took Noval to a long bench located not far from there, then she rushed to find a wheelchair for Noval to use.

Ever since Dhea came to visit Maya, her condition has started to improve now. If likened to a dead machine then get additional energy that is able to turn it on again. The nurse stopped her push after the wheelchair was next to Maya's bed, then she stood in a corner waiting for Noval to finish visiting. Although her heart was wary if caught by other sisters and will be exposed to problems because it has violated the rules of patient rest, but this time she faced a stubborn patient. After letting Noval visit, he would drive her back to her room.

Noval looked at the woman before him. The woman he once loved so much, as well as the woman he once hated so much, the stern eyes that Maya usually cast, now lie weakly before Noval with wounds caused by the greed of her parents. Although Noval no longer hates Maya but now when the love grows back: "Why not you Maya, who is able to revive my feelings again. Why should Ryu. It's hard enough for me to start again. I'm sorry." Noval is bowed in Maya's silent hands.

Now her love is for Riyu, even though she has divorced him and agrees to unite with Sam, it does not mean that Noval can immediately turn her feelings to Maya. Although now there has been another little woman who is able to revive her feelings a thousand times, Dhea. Present as his biological child and also Maya as his mother, but, does Noval want to marry Maya? On the other hand, Noval still could not take it back to her side. Although all his mistakes are not Maya's fault, Noval still can't open her heart. He was afraid, if marrying him just because he felt guilty without love that grew back later, it would actually make him trapped in a new burden in his life. Perhaps the next day Maya can understand, Noval and Maya will still take care of Dhea together despite the turn of time, without having to be bound in marriage.

After the death of Mumbar, the Montrol Company had now fallen to Sam completely. All the properties, buildings and projects, turned into the "Ranu Darma manunggal" company founded by Sam and Riyu to honor the late mother and grandfather of Darma. Ranu Darma manunggal stands tall in the city of S replacing the name of Montrol, Sam and Riyu have agreed, if some of the income of Ranu Darma manunggal will be donated to the foundation for educational purposes, orphans, and so on. Noble plan, but still have to wait for some file transfer process on behalf of both.

Not only that, the ruined Darma residence, will be re-established by Sam and also Riyu. They have found a proper architect and professional to design the palace that they will occupy after officially married later. Riyu looked towards Sam's room which was not tightly closed.

"Sam, aren't you asleep?"

"But baby, I have to finish the design for our backyard"

"Isn't that the architect's business later? Why are you so busy taking care of it?"

Sam turned away from his laptop screen, turning to look at Riyu who now took a serious look at the laptop screen. "There are some I want to add, come here" said Sam giving space for Riyu to sit on his lap. Riyu said, his eyes immediately looked at the edited backyard picture of the Darma Residence, there looked more spacious and cool, even Sam added an artificial lake that was truly amazing.

"Sam, I didn't think that your idea was really extraordinary" said Riyu excitedly still looking at the laptop screen.

"You like it?"

"Sure" Riyu replied excitedly.

"But this construction takes quite a long time, we can occupy it after marriage later" said Sam while sliding the mouse so that all the design images are clearly visible. Riyu wrapped her hands around Sam's neck, their faces crimped together with eyes that both looked at the laptop screen.

"We can ask papa to stay with us, pity if papa is alone here"

"Darling, papa won't be alone. There's Noval, Maya and the chatty boy."

"Dhea Sam" protres Riyu looks at Sam.

"Whoever is his name" Sam shrugged his shoulders. Riyu was silent for a moment observing Sam, her gaze implying that there was something Ryu was thinking about. "Why are you looking at me like that?" sam looked at Riyu in wonder.

"Sam why do you hate Dhea, your niece will too" spoke while staring fixedly.

"I don't hate him, Ryu"

"Continue?" Sam Cuek, he's back busy messing with his mouse.

"What goes on?" sam asked, twitching his eyebrows. Makes Ryu annoyed at her.

"What, you don't like little kids? Or because Dhea's Noval's son?"

"Riyu, I want to crush you even more if you talk a lot" Sam said, looking up at Riyu who was still on his lap.

"Hehe, all right Sam. You're... Just go ahead and design it, I want... "

"You running away?" Her hand now hugged Ryu's waist tightly.

"Sam, listen. Dhea calls me hehe" Ryu tries to untangle Sam's grip.

"Don't reason baby, now you're getting good at finding excuses to run away from me, huh?". Condition your hand Sam! But unfortunately already entered into a silk nightgown worn by Riyu.

"Sam stop!" protres Riyu as Sam's face begins to set in his chest. Some time ticking silently, both hearts were roared with heavy long breaths. Enjoy all the atmosphere on the second activity in front of the laptop that is still on, shortly afterwards,

"Mama, Dhea's gonna pee"

Riyu and Sam immediately fell into shock as they turned towards the two round eyes that were staring at them, Riyu immediately came down from the lap. "You little boy... Aahhh basic!" said Sam annoyed.

"Ahaha Dhea, let's love let Mama interracial" said Riyu directly carrying Dhea with a reddened face towards the bathroom, yes, that night he escaped from the clutches of Sam because of Dhea. Riyu's heart gave thanks, while Sam cursed annoyed.
