Ms. Mela packed the file on her desk and stood up, ready to go to the host, handed over the minutes of the meeting and discussed it together .But his feet had not yet stepped outside the room, his phone rang.

" Hello Bu Mela.." the voice of the nurse in the house of the Master who was in charge of guarding the Madam during the illness, sounded as if she was holding back a cry.

" The master sent immediately to the hospital, Madam died.,."

Ms. Mela gasped in shock.So this morning indeed Madam drop, the news she received when Mr. led the meeting.Doctor called Ms. Mela and immediately asked Mr. to come to the hospital.

Tenyata today Madam came home.Hear the news of grief suddenly the hand of Ms. Mela was shaking, her face was pale, she was sitting limp in the chair.Mrs she was young, her people were very good. Ms. Mela felt very lost, because she was quite close to the Madam.As a secretary she was trusted to handle office affairs and often the affairs of the house and family of the Master, so that Ms. Mela was often in direct contact with the Madam.

The news of the death of the Madam, immediately announced to all employees.All employees are shocked and feel sad.They are very good to all employees.Both high-ranking and office boy or driver.All employees feel very lost.

Rika joined the reception to the host with a group of employees.All employees looked sad, most of them crying sobbing.The large family of Narendra Group grieved.

Wreaths and condolences from the company relationship continue to flow.Bu Mela is not stopping talking on the phone.He is busy handling everything.

The body is buried in a very large central room, the size may be 5 times my home in the village, inner Rika.Pillar large pillars painted white and gold stand firmly in 4 corners of the room .Big crystal lamp hanging in the sky sky .The crystal lamp seemed to consist of hundreds of small crystal lamp lights that formed a large cone that was very artistically dangling from top to bottom.

Sitting next to the body .His back bent, his hands continuously rubbed his wife's face pale and cold.Once he sighed, just to release the burden on his chest that was getting squeezed.Both his legs were cross-legged , but he felt as if drifting, his mind blank . Her nervous tone was like numbness.There was no proper sentence to describe the sadness she felt.

The condolences and prayers of his relatives and relatives were answered unconsciously.The lips and mouth moved but his heart felt frozen.The much loved wife had left him for ever.He was at a loss whether tomorrow would be still come without his wife? How will he live his life after this?

" My wife.." she whispered, but the body remained stiffened.No more warm smiles on her lips, no more joking laughs his carefree.Kedapnya back that cold face.Like a small child he hoped there was a miracle.Stiff body his wife can wake up and greet him again.But it did not happen, and will never happen.

****

The next night after the body of the Madam finished being buried, there was a tahlilan event at the house of Mr. Bu Mela who arranged everything asked Rika to help.

Because the show is night, Rika invites Susi.Ia is afraid to go home alone after the show is over.

Many came that night to pray for the deceased.All prayed solemnly led by a Ustadz.Rika did not see Tuan.Kata Bu Mela Tuan sick and had to rest.Master was very hit , & , ' he was not , moreover, a few days before the death of the Madam she often did not sleep .This is what makes his health decline.

Finished the event Tanu sir approached.

" Let me drive her home"

" No need to take a taxi"

" Here come, it's been a long night waiting for a taxi.Tomorrow you guys have to work"

They finally complied and got into Mr. Tanu's car.

" About 30 years old" replied Mr. Tanu, he glanced at Rika "Your fleeting mistress looks like you "

" A time? " Rika doesn't believe me.

" Maybe it's just my feeling" Mr. Tanu hurriedly corrected, then continued "Beautiful mistress but the person is simple and what it is.Although the treasures are abundant but the appearance is simple"

" It is fitting that you are devastated yes, he loves his wife very much" Rika muttered.

" Yes, the madam is really a dream wife"

Rika and Susi nodded.They arrived at the boarding place.The car stopped, Susi and Rika thanked him and got off the car .

Mr. Tanu drove back to the car.

" If Rika could feel how much I cared about her" she said to herself, but he was worried that the innocent girl would be afraid of him and interfere with his concentration in work.Later on when the time is right, he thought.Then he drove his car on the increasingly quiet streets.

The atmosphere of mourning still envelops the office.All employees are still dissolved in grief.The average average employee has long worked in the company.So the brotherhood is very closely intertwined.Especially the deceased is the Madam, the wife of the owner of the company .The canteen, which is usually crowded at rest, becomes quiet.People just enjoy their lunch while staying silent.Although there are those who speak for sure about the Madam.No one jokes or laughs.

Rika and Susi who are having lunch get carried away, even though they are new employees and have never met the Madam.They eat without talking, even very hearted , afraid of the sound of the spoon and fork made a shock in the middle of the quiet atmosphere.Finished eating they hurried out.

" It's sad to see the atmosphere like this.."

Susi whispered after a bit away from the canteen

" Yes, the horrors of the Madam are very good people.Especially before her illness she often went to the office to help Mr., so all employees know her well" Rika told a whisper as well.

" Do they have no children yet" Susi asked in a whisper.

" It's been , his children are young.Five years married they have just had a child"

" Miss's cancer pain?"

" Yes, it's been taken abroad"

" May you be strong"

" He.eh, may you be strong and get through this difficult time" Rika nodded in agreement.Leaving a loved one is certainly very heavy.Rika remembered her mother in the village.He can imagine how sad her mother when she was left Dad died.Especially Dad did not leave a treasure , except for a patch of rice fields and a very simple house.Rika was a child at that time, but He remembered her mother was very shocked ,he fainted many times beside Father's body.Rika does not know how after that Mother can survive and rise to finance life and send Rika, slam bones and choose not to marry again.
