In the funeral home. The atmosphere was hot, because of the talk of the neighbors who heard the wife of Tom Sarah. He does not accept being wronged by people, and starts throwing mistakes at Mama Virda.
"Tante who often goes to Manado when papa is sick again..."
"There are you children, what do you do, Virda is there because of the affairs of his married son..."
Bert's wife, one of the neighbors became the mother's defender here. One of the good guys who cares about my mom's condition.
"The reason is, aunt does not know there is an ex-husband, they want to reverse it for sure, we witness it..."
"Good mouth Sarah, I know who Virda's ex-husband is, he's a distinguished man, a rich man, a dignified man, don't slander. Just like you have no morals, your papa is not young anymore still slamming bones for you. You should be ashamed, papa y'all sick turn where you care. There, he fell for going to the bathroom by himself. He should be alive by now..."
"Papa stubborn, it's not our fault he fell. he who wants to go to the bathroom himself really..."
"Yes, because you can not be expected, just a day to help maintain instead of getting healthier even worse."
Tom is inflamed...
"Tante, don't interfere.. What right aunt? Aunty doesn't know what we're going through after papa married the aunt?"
"Haha, what are you guys going through? What do I not know about you? You guys are misdirected, spoiled, self-absorbed. If your papa doesn't remarry, who takes care of him? Your hands just know asking can't work..."
"Aunty, I'm reporting that the aunt's government is making a mess here, aunt is outrageous, doesn't appreciate the grieving person..."
"Hahh... You guys are outrageous, a lot of people know that, whose government? Pala sama lurah also know your behavior..."
The hand of Tom who was about to slap Bert's wife was held by Virda's mother.
"Stop Tom. You're embarrassing yourself even more."
"What right aunt arranged us? Remember, aunty has no rights here, after the funeral aunty should leave this house."
"Don't you remind me, auntie knows that."
Mama Virda said with tears beginning to decompose again.
"The wrong aunt did not take care of papa well why we were blamed. Still papa's wife, in front of papa's eyes again, had cheated with ex-husband."
Mama Virda felt her chest ache, the sadness was mounting, her breathing suddenly tight, she fell on the chair with both hands holding her chest. Rommel hugged Virda's mom. While crying, my mother spoke.
"Look aunt...Tom, Sarah.aunty owes you nothing, until the end of her life the aunt has tried to serve well. Even though your papa is too heavy on you guys to spoil you too much, but auntie survives."
Mama Virda tried to remove the tears that did not stop flowing with tissue that was thrust Rommel.
"Tante.. hikss.aunty thanks you for your mention of a aunt who likes to get married actually makes a aunt survive even though the aunt is not happy. Aunts are forced to sacrifice children and grandchildren, but aunts are grateful that without aunts beside them make them independent, making them people. Don't worry, after this the aunt won't stay here anymore..."
Mama then roared in deep sadness, like a sound piercing her heart, Mama Virda then fainted in front of her husband's body.
"Mama..."
Rommel was crying and panicked to see his mother. Despite his anger, Rommel was not like Keke who would immediately retaliate. The neighbors came to help resuscitate Virda's mother, their neighbor who was so stoic despite living with children.
"You don't know yourself, you don't know thank you... You have not tasted it now, have not reaped it now. Eating chili, the spiciness has not been felt immediately, but not long afterwards. Tomorrow you will surely find your Aunt Virda..."
Bert's wife was not satisfied and was still babbling, making Tom and Sarah finally enter the room.
.
During the afternoon, during the funeral at the house, Keke and Ben can finally join the service, there is also papa Ramly. There were whispers and many stories among mourners about their presence. At least one knows who financed the funeral, as neighbors watched Rommel hand over the payment to several people. Don't forget one pick up groceries from Tomohon, from ex-husband mama Virda.
Seeing the attitude of a polite and polite Ramly, some people do not believe about the rumors that Tom and Sarah try to roll, especially there is an affirmation from the om Bert about who the people of one village with his wife. Ramly's interaction with their neighbor Virda was also noticed. And some justify the rumors, the ex-husband even though he is older looks more in any case, which may not be tempted.
Also at the center of attention are the pair Keke and Ben, the attraction of a Ben with an official black suit plus sunglasses gripped on his face makes many eyes fail to focus on the leader of the event. There was also an envious look at Ben's possessiveness on his wife. The most entertained by the presence of this couple is Shello, he is sad to lose the papa but he laughed as Ben slipped a pocket of 5 pieces of red money in his hand.
After the funeral...
"Ma... We go home.. Mama comes with us, right?"
Keke sat next to his mother who looked very tired and depressed. Her daughter's question made Virda's mother cry again. Keke could only hug his mother.
"Mama should not go out of the house when it is still a time of mourning, hikkss..mama should stay here first until the grave om finished made. hikss..."
"Vir.. You're here is okay, the children have been advised by their families, they will not mess with you, just relax we will accompany you..."
Bert's wife came to give information and a reassuring promise.
"Ma... how? Mama still wants to be here?"
"Yes, Ike. Not good in the eyes of people if mama goes straight away, besides Sunday there is a weekly event in this place."
"Mel... Do you accompany your mama?"
"Yes sis..."
"Have you got your spare clothes?"
"There's sis..."
"Ma... Ike stay yes..."
Keke hugged my mom again.
"Ma.. who is patient yes, do not hesitate to contact us if there is a need for what..."
"Yes Ben. thanks so much..."
"Don't say thank you to us, if we do something it's our duty to mama."
Mama cried again, she could not imagine what her life would be like if there were no children of her own beside her. Keke took off Rommel and approached Ramly's father, who was sitting chatting with Bert on the porch.
"Pa... we want to go home now... papa how?"
"Oh.. Papa wants to go home too then. Come on, say goodbye to mama first..."
Papa Ramly couldn't help but embrace his son into the house.
"Hon uh Virda..."
Papa realized there were other people around, fortunately not caught up with greetings as usual. Mama Virda just nodded faintly and looked at her sympathetic ex-husband, then she said weakly...
"Thank you, Ram..."
The ex-husband nodded back and smiled faintly.
"Aunty, thank you for accompanying my mother, there is also my sister who will remain here. I picked my mom up aunty..."
Keke said goodbye to Bert's wife..."
"Oh yes yes. if you have time, Sunday comes again yes.. there is a Weekly event here.. Mr. Ramly also..."
"May I have a chance..."
Papa Ramly responded politely. After re-hugging the mother, Ben also parted with a hug... Keke left the funeral home with a ladder that was tightly grasped by her husband.
Keke did not regret Ben's attitude, who insisted on helping Virda's mother. Seeing for yourself the sadness of mama Keke knew the decision to come was not in vain.it was true that mother Virda who needed more attention than her mothers, who would not know she was coming or not visiting them. One day he'll go to their tomb, it's okay to be delayed.
