Three days passed, Tina and Bima started to calm down again even though the atmosphere was still grieving. They could already accept and get used to the absence of that figure. Aulia and Ayra always come to help prepare all the needs for God's tahlilan event in her home. Following Nasya who will gather after college with Razka.
Tina approached Bima who was still in the room. The young man was even reluctant to go to campus because his heart still worried about Tina at home if she stayed.
"Lu don't go to college anymore, Tong? When will I stay home? Let you miss the lesson," asked Tina while sitting next to Bima who was still lying on her bed.
"Is Nyak nothing Bima lives?" The young man's face lifted up looking at Tina who was rubbing her hair. Both of his hands were coiled spoiled around the old woman's waist. Dipping his face over his thighs was exactly like a cat longing for a caress.
"What's up with Nyak? 'Kan, every day Madam ama Brother lu nemenin Nyak at home. Nyak is okay. Noh, Nasya has come he misses leaving with ama lu," said Tina while giving a caress in Bima's hair that looks elongated.
There was no excuse, the boy had found his comfort in Tina's lap. It feels like to move. Let it be, he still wanted to feel the warmth of the caress from the old woman.
"Sister! Guess who's coming?" pekik Nasya who rushed into Bima's room in panic. His breathing was stingy, his face reddened and there was a faint smile poking out on his lips.
Bima clucked, not lifting her face from Tina's lap at all.
"Who's coming, son?" tina asked, looking at the girl. Nasya moved her lips to call out one name without a sound. Tina smiled, giving a small nod of understanding.
"If you still want to sleep, just sleep. Nyak wants to find the future ghost Nyak outside," said Tina teasing Bima.
As soon as his head lifted, he quickly got up and got out of bed.
"Curtain! Hearing Brother-in-law coming, just get up!" nasha's lips as Bima passed by.
Bima indifferent, he just kept stepping despite still wearing knee-length shorts and plain T-shirts only. In the kitchen, Ayra and Aulia are preoccupied with all the necessities for the afternoon event.
Bima continued to take her steps out of the house. A girl was sitting courteously in a chair that the Gods used to sit on. Bima smiled. He is still handsome even though his hair is not bad and still smells of pillows.
"Mom!" call him softly. The girl turned her head, looking at the lover who was still in mourning. Khaira moved, he stood up and stepped slowly towards Bima.
"Sister!" The girl hugged Bima. I don't know what happened, but her body shook with tears.
"How come you cry?" bima asked while breaking down the embrace. Both of his thumbs rubbed Khaira's tears gently. The face was downcast, the turmoil of grief still ruled his heart.
"I'm sorry I just heard about Babeh. I'm sorry, Brother. I can't be there when Brother is grieving" Khaira regretted being late to learn about the news of God.
Bima rubbed her head, her lips twitching a smile. Look at them clashing.
"About nothing, you don't have to feel guilty." Khaira folded her lips while deciding on a look. Still, God and Tina were so kind to him.
"Lu want to work? Let the cave between you want to go to campus," Bima bargained when she saw Khaira's appearance with her work clothes.
Kharia raised her face, nodded slowly, but quickly shook her head. He wants to accompany Tina, help her prepare the needs of tahlilan events. She thought Tina was alone at home and no one helped.
Bima frowned confused by the reply of the girl before him.
"Why?"
"I want permission, I want to help Nyak at home. Surely Nyak no one helped," he said attentively.
"It's okay, here too Nyak is not alone. There was Bima's mother and her brother who helped Nyak, "sambar Tina who approached them on the terrace.
Seeing Tina, Khaira came to the woman. He endured it before embracing his vulnerable body.
"I'm sorry Ara, Nyak. Ara was late to learn about Babeh. Ara was very sorry," the girl shrieked in Tina's arms.
Tina's old hand rubbed Khaira's back gently.
Tina smiled, the old woman looked tough even though sadness was still visible in her misty manic.
"Nyak said Mother and Brother Bima? Who?" asked Ara when she remembered Tina's words earlier.
"Yes, they're inside. Come on, Nyak introduce them while waiting for Bima to change clothes," Tina asked while holding Khaira's hand to enter the house.
Bima nodded as the girl's head turned towards him. He also went into his own room. Change clothes to get to campus.
In the kitchen, Tina takes Khaira to meet Aulia and Ayra.
"Mrs, Nak Ayra, it's Khaira." The two women who were struggling with all kinds of needs turned at the same time.
"Oh, hello!" Aulia greeted though with a confused look that she could not cover.
"Aulia"
"Khaira, Madam."
"Hi, I'm Ayra. Bima's sister."
"Khaira."
Both welcomed the arrival of the girl. Wanted to ask, but was afraid of offending.
"Ara is our daughter-in-law's candidate, Madam," explained Tina in the end to open her voice. The girl lowered her face, hiding the red hue that was poking out on both of her cheeks.
There was another mother besides Nyak. Brother Bima is still full of mystery and I do not know anything about him.
Khaira's heart murmured, but she was good at regulating feelings. His face was raised again to see the response of Aulia and Ayra who both said 'oh' only.
"What a beauty this son-in-law would be. I'm right, aren't I?" aulia said as she rubbed Khaira's chin gently. Khaira Tersipu.
"You're right, Madam," said Tina. Aulia hugged the girl as a welcome for her. However, Khaira was hesitant to reply. He was afraid to be considered presumptuous if he embraced Aulia.
"Welcome to my sister-in-law!" Ayra also greeted him with a hug. Khaira felt welcome, she welcomed Ayra's embrace.
"Fra! Come on, it'll be too late" called Bima who had prepared with her clothes.
"Sister is leaving with Sister-in-law? How's my? Who's gonna drive me?" peeked Nasya who rushed into the kitchen in panic.
"Nasha? You here too?" Khaira looks confused. While the girl smiled awkwardly.
"Lu can call Dad or anyone else. Si Revan only, he would want to send you," said Bima indifferently. He said goodbye to everyone followed by Khaira who was also about to leave. Nasya dropped his jaw unaccepted, but he could do nothing. The arrival of Khaira changed the gloomy Bima.
Luckily, Emilia and her family came just moments after Bima left home on her motorcycle. He was taken to Revan campus.
"Ish .. because of brother Bima, I'm bad luck," Nasya grumbled as he walked to his class.
Bruk!
"Aw!"
"Sorry!"
