The Aroma of Briana

24. Mother's Home

Arriving at the public nutrition Briana and Hardi were already standing in front of the entrance. Hand holding a bucket of flowers and a sprinkling of flowers, the nervous heart calmed for a moment before stepping forward to the mother's burial place.

Hardi's father just fell silent to see the princess who was still anxious awkward if she wanted to visit the funeral of the mother. That's because the father feels sad if the child wants to visit his mother's house because Briana still feels self-blame for the death of the mother.

“Huh” took a deep breath to vent to enter the public cemetery where the mother was buried.

A sensitive father and ready to be on standby directly lead Briana by holding tightly the hand of the princess as well which makes Briana more confident and calm.

When he reached the grave where Briana's mother was sitting crouched cleaning the leaves plucking the grass sowing flowers and watering a bottle of water.

Not to forget they both prayed for the mother of Briana who had died long since Briana was in the 1st grade High School.

“Mother Briana came with dad, sorry just had time to visit ibu” eyes that began to look glass holding tears.

“Darling I came with our son, you don't worry our son grew up well she became a strong and useful woman like you.” Saut the father who embraces Briana's shoulder while sitting crouching.

Briana bowed lethargic and sad began to feel self-blame for the death of her mother. Tears began to drip, the body that began to embrace the vortex of the mother's grave, crying so that the feeling of tightness began to strangle in the chest.

“Mother.pardon Briana mom sorry.. hik hik hik because Briana's mother lies alone here hik sorry bu sorry” cried so much so that as a dizzy kiss the tombstone of the mother rubbed a wipe clean of the dust while wiping her tears.

Hardi's father Briana can only stroke the shoulder and the son calms down, that's why his father was wrong if Briana wanted to go to the grave of the mother because of course the child will always blame himself for the death of his mother even though the incident has long passed.

“Briana if you like this your mother will definitely be sad son, don't blame yourself. This is the destiny of the Creator, not only is your mother feeling sad but I am also sad that I cannot bear to see you still imprisoned for the past. Already yes unfortunately father, we go home”

Wake the child's body to ask to go home because his father did not have the heart to see Briana who was crying so much in the vortex of his mother's grave.

Briana heard her father who was taking her home just shaking his head, a soft voice coming out of her mouth if she did not want to go home.

“No father Briana wants to accompany mom any minute, wait another 15 minutes if you don't mind me please” pleading with a voice as unwilling to go home still hugging the tombstone the mother wiped the name engraved on the tombstone.

His father could not bear to see the boy pleading with a face full of hope, could only nod according to his daughter's request but did not forget to also calm by patting the shoulder, stroking the hair, not forgetting, give a tissue to wipe the tears and snot that come out of the nose.

After 15 minutes Hardi asked his father to return home. With tenderness and affection Hardi his father touched the hand of Briana on the tombstone his mother Hardi nodded her head hinting it was time to go home.

Briana just stared at the father with her eyes puffy because the duration of crying immediately understood and moved to stand up.

He cleaned back dirty clothes and pants because sitting next to the grave flicking clothes brushed aside pants that were exposed to dust and stains, his father could only pay attention to the child while waiting.

“Mom sorry can not linger long here, mother Briana said back home yes hope mom calm there. Briana's mother misses Briana's mother very dear…. Once again Briana apologized bu” bowed lethargicly staring at her mother's tombstone, saying goodbye with a trembling voice and sparkling eyes.

“Briana's mother, father came home first” a short saut Hardi while staring at the tombstone and directly looked at the princess and took her daughter's hand again to go home.

“Mother Briana and dad came home yes, see you later, and mom” waved her hand and turned back home.

They finally came home, slowly walking away from the tomb to the car parked outside.

Meanwhile, Briana apparently left her bag in the car when she went to the mother's funeral. The phone that rang someone called unanswered because it was placed in the bag.

Apparently the one who called was Akles did not know what needs to call Briana.

Briana and her father had finally arrived home, because her father lived alone there was no maid when until Briana directly got out of the car to open the gate.

“Thank you father”'s son lowered his head after Briana opened the gate for him, Briana just smiled, and went straight into the house.

Upon arrival in the house Briana went straight into the room sitting on the dresser chair facing the mirror, staring in herself in the mirror.

“Briana is here to help me a little?” yelled her father from the outside who made Briana immediately stand up and greet her father.

“Yes dad briefly” rushed out to approach the father who asked for help from him.

“Please peel the onion and separate the cab stalks yes dear” apparently Hardi asked for help peeling the onion and sorting the chili because he wanted to cook for lunch they both.

“Dad why not just order between the food so dad does not need to be tired of cooking” Briana replied while sorting chili.

“Ah if you can cook why you should buy, mumpung son father here so dad must cook dong. Aye right? Hehe” mocked the child while smiling happily because it was helped by his son.

“Thanks dad” smiled very helpful part of his father.

After finishing peeling the onions and separating the chili stalk Briana just sat down at the dinner table watching her father cook himself, he wanted to help but was rejected by his father and gently told to sit quietly to watch his father cook.

Briana used to help her father cook but there was an incident that resulted in the cooker's embers growing fortunately her father was sprightly so as not to cause a fire just Briana got a minor burn on her left wrist.

Therefore Briana is not allowed to cook only allowed to cut the chop if she wants to help, her father Trauma does not want to lose again.

After a few minutes later finally Hardi's cooking was ripe, Briana immediately immediately sped up a glass plate and spoon to be ready to eat.

Set up neatly where the vegetable side dishes and rice do not forget the sambal made by his father.

The aroma of his father's cooking was so tempting that it began to sound after smelling the smell of dishes that were still hot.

“Akhh pangsinya hayo dad eat Briana lapar” while taking food in front of him.

His father smiled as he saw Briana had started smiling so fast.

The two of them ate the food voraciously and talked like a child and a father so warm.
