Maze of Grief
CHAPTER 22
It had been a month after Bina left Malik. Now Bina is starting to reorganize her life. Pursue dreams and dreams that were delayed due to his marriage to Malik Ibrahim.
Abi Afnan also began preparing Bina as the sole successor to Garuda Corp. Largest company engaged in property.
This morning Abi Afnan, Ummi Aisya and Bina were having breakfast together. Suddenly a screaming voice called out to Bina stopping for a moment their breakfast.
"Dimas, why are you shouting while running around" said Abi Afnan.
"Bina" Panggil Dimas with gasping breath.
"Why are you?" Ask Bina with a frown.
"Mama Ghea..."
"Mama why mas?" Bina began to get upset and raised her tone.
"Died."
DEG
This suffering is it, O God? Not enough of my divorce drama right now you also want me to see my best friend lose the one he loves. Inner Architecture.
"You had breakfast first Dimas, the ashes we went to the house of Ghea" Like a buffalo plugged his nose Dimas also obeyed the words of Abi Afnan.
"Where's Sari's mom, Mas?" Ask Bina
"Udah went to Ghea's house with my father, Bin" There was no more conversation afterwards. The four of them had breakfast in silence.
A week ago Dimas and Sari were officially married.
-----------
Abi Afnan, Ummi Aisya, Dimas and Bina were in the courtyard of Ghea's house. Satya's father came out to welcome them.
A tent has stood firm. There are several benches to support the guests.
Bina got down from the car looking at one by one guests who were present. The officials at Darma Corp. Ghea used to be a PA (Personal Asistent) for Darma Corp CEO Malik Ibrahim.
Bina walked into Ghea's house. Even the atmosphere in the house was filled by mourners.

The figure he was looking for, the figure he missed was here. Yes, here, hold the forbidden ex-love. His body was helpless. Very painful, very. Only tears could explain how hurt her heart was.
Until a faint sound of both of them was caught by Bina's auditory senses.
"I'm going to go with Mas Haris back to China, you take care of the boy for me."
Haris employment contract in Indonesia has been completed. To prevent the re-establishment of the forbidden love between Malik and Ghea, Haris will bring his wife back to the village of Sang Oma in China.
Haris is a Chinese Indonesian. Her father is native to Indonesia, and her mother is native to China.
"Yes Ghea, I'll take care of Ghema. He is the only one I have right now. He is the jewel of my heart."
"The ghema? Heart gem? Who's Ghema?" Inner Architecture.
Ghea and Malik let go of each other.
"Build?" Ghea said with a soft.
Malik twisted his body he was as surprised as Ghea when he saw the presence of Bina "This is not as you think, Bina" said Malik.
"Auw pain" Rintih Bina as Malik holds his wrist.
"Why hands? How to sew like this? Asked Malik anxiously.
"It's none of your business. What am I thinking?" Ask Bina. Not yet Malik answered Bina directly pulled Ghea and hugged her.
"Your..." Ghea hugged Bina in her sobs. Bina was like that whether she was crying for the departure of her best friend's mother. Or because of the hug Ghea and Malik just now, I don't know.
"I'm sorry, when my mom was sick I didn't look and now I'm not there when my mom left."
"This is the way of Mama, Bin. Sorry for your fault, Mama."
Bina just nodded.
----------
The action of Malik and Ghea's embrace, even the tears that were inundated in Bina's eyes were recorded clearly by Dimas's deep black eyes.
Dimas hugged Ghea, giving a shot of kink to the woman who was in-law status.
"I'm so sorry, well, you must be strong."
"Let's go, mas" Ghea and Dimas took off their arms.
----------
Similarly, in the funeral home, a sturdy tent also stands on one of the burial grounds that have been excavated. Equipped with seats to be occupied by mourners.
The longer, the atmosphere of the tent is getting crowded because it continues to arrive people who are ready to follow the funeral procession.
Ghea and Bina were in the midst of those who were sitting under tents. They both faced straight watching the funeral preparations. Dimas and Haris came down to help put the body into the burrow.
Bina embraces Ghea to give her the power "I'm sorry Bina, I was indirectly a thorn in your marriage and Mas Malik" Rintih Ghea.
But Bina put her finger on Ghea's lips "I am learning now to recap everything that happens between me and Mas Malik. It's fate I don't blame you anymore either."
Ghea did not expect that Bina would be so wise and sincerely forgive him. Ghea quickly hugged Bina, then dropped her tears back.
Malik also who had followed the funeral procession witnessed the proximity of Bina and Ghea. Malik sat not far from Bina's position. A feeling of regret and sadness enveloped his heart.
He promised that if God would one day allow him to reunite with Bina, Malik would not hurt the woman he loved so much.
----------
An hour later the funeral procession was over. The grave was covered with red clay and still wet.
The audience who came to say a lot of words of sorrow to encourage Ghea and then passed home.
Seeing Malik leave the cemetery, Dimas quickly ran to see him.
"Can you talk for a second?" Asked Dimas with his flat expression. And Malik just nodded.
-----------
A roadside cafe located not far from the cemetery area became the destination of Malik and Dimas.
"I don't want a babibu with a loh."
"Gue heard earlier you asked Bina what's wrong with her hand?"
"He's attempted suicide, he's devastated by the treatment."
"And now he's traumatized by the deed."
The endless explanation uttered by Dimas made Malik's chest tightness. As a result of her blind jealousy, the woman she loved suffered like this.
"Come lie, Bina ngak may have such short sense to end her life" said Malik.
"Whatever, I just want a message to you. If you can't be happy with me, don't make him suffer. His tears Bina was too precious for the tablets" Dimas was about to move from his seat, but then he paused.
"Gue had heard Ghea and the conversation about the little boy you often see at the Orphanage of Eternal Love."
"Gue knows, that boy is not your son. Loh and Ghea just pity the child because it's been dumped since birth."
"Where do you know about Ghema?" Malik asked with his eyes closed.
"Ghea told that to me and Haris. Haris does nothing if Ghea wants to adopt the child. But after hearing the divorce and Bina's intention, Ghea put it down."
"Why?" Ask Malik again.
"Because Ghea still has Haris for her to love. And loh? Who's she got?" Reply Dimas in an understated tone.
"Gue aja who was behind Bina heard the words and Ghea let alone Bina who was at the front."
"And I hope Abi and Ummi don't hear it either."
"You can tell them who Ghema is" Malik said in frustration. He rubbed his face rough.
"It could be, but I have no responsibility to explain this to them" Dimas patted Malik's shoulder, and passed away leaving him.
NB: Season two of Grief Labyrinth has already been launched. But I promise I'll be routine up every day. Because on October 5, I will join PKPA (Special Education Advocate Profession). I've got Mbak Bina and Mas Malik up 2-3X a week.
