SO TEACHER FOR THE WIFE-TO-BE

27. The Truth at the Funeral

Angga leaned his body on the back of the sofa. He seemed to be uninspired after coming home from school. His eyes began to shut, until only a few more seconds of consciousness disappeared completely. However, the ringing of the cell phone sounded wake him up. Angga grabbed the flat object lazily.

The 'Sir Lucas' contact appears when the phone's screen is on. Why did the man contact her? Angga just looked at the thing with a frown. Out of instinct from where, he shifted the green logo there. Make connected calls.

"Anga?" greet Lucas from across.

Angga did not answer a greeting from his biological father. A few seconds, until Lucas spoke again because he knew Angga would not speak.

"Today is the exact passing of your second grandfather."

Angga's forehead wrinkled, he almost forgot about it. But since when does that man care?

"Then?" Over there Lucas rounded his eyes, not expecting what his son had answered. Didn't he always care about his grandfather?

"Of course we will pray for him this afternoon. If we were together, it would probably be better. Your grandfather will be happy."

Angga smiled cynically, happy? Is that really true?

"We who are you referring to?"

"Ahh, my family and your mother's family. We are not related, but even so he had become his daughter-in-law. And decided to make a pilgrimage together."

Angga turned off the phone unilaterally, threw his phone just like that on the sofa. He was sick of the words his father spoke. It was as if he cared about the grandfather who died.

Rafin was scratching his pen on some valuable pieces of paper. Formed his signature streak. Until his head looked up at the door. Rajen was walking towards him. Rafin shook his head, and re-signed the file. I don't know what my father will talk about this time.

"Fin?" call Rajen but don't get a word from Rafin.

"Rafin, today the Agata family will go on pilgrimage, you must also come." Rafin stopped the streak, hinting at the employee waiting for his signature to leave.

Rafin then threw his back on the back of the chair, his hands knitting each other with elbows to be the charger on the table.

"What business do I have to go there?"

"Fin, the Agata family already owes a lot to our family. It's not wrong to go on a pilgrimage with them."

"The debtor, not me." Rajen fell silent, his hands clenched down there. His son did not understand, but in order for Rafin to obey he had to be patient.

Rafin said, "Why didn't Papa go there?"

"Then from that, son. Papa won't go, you'll take his place" Rajen replied with gentleness. Rafin let out a long sigh, the man standing from his great chair. Just passed the father without saying a word.

"Basic useless child! I've desperately held back my anger, he just left without talking." Rajen cursed inside there, while Rafin who was outside heard that and smiled smirk.

As promised, Lucas and Meta and his family go to Liam's funeral. They wear black clothes and glasses. Lucas brought an old man who understood religion to lead him to prayer. But it's of no use. Meta blames Lucas for not being able to get Angga there. Now their arrival seems useless. They just kept each other quiet.

"Why hasn't it started yet?" The voice of a young man distracted him. They were shocked by the sudden arrival of Angga.

The young man said again, "Will not pray for my grandfather? Or is it just an alibi?" insinuations. His parents are looking here at him. With the exception of Lucas, Meta and Niora.

"Yes, Son. We're just waiting for you to come" Lucas denied.

"Why are you so sure I'm coming. Didn't I say that?" answer at once asked Angga who made the man speechless.

"I'm sure you'll come."

Meanwhile, a woman from the Meta family had noticed Angga. He remembered the girl he loved. The young man became the maiden's helper whom he severely tortured. She is Agata, stepdaughter of Meta. His view was subdued when the view he and his stepbrother were looking at each other.

He did not know that Angga was the son of his stepmother. Agata was afraid, imagining his fate when the lack of knowing about it.

Meanwhile, Angga who looked at the woman thought the same thing about Anila at that time. He still remembers that face. The face that tormented his best friend in the toilet.

Meta who did not want Angga to say further, he finally spoke, "Now it is complete, just start, sir." They walked to Liam's tomb. The man led the prayer according to the teachings of Islam.

Lucas, Meta and their families don't know what to do, because they don't understand what to do now. They saw Angga who seemed to raise his hands with his eyes closed. They followed him too.

Meanwhile, not far from the funeral, a man looks at the family.

"Agata and the young man is family?" guess it. It can't be if they're together.

"The granddaughter of Liam Narendra?"

"Agata, Angga, and the new boy." The man smiled smirk. The truth he saw was interesting.

In one place, there are many truths revealed that they do not know. It's not the end of the story, it's just beginning.
