The Love Ship Ayana

Grieved

The body was now taken to the funeral home. Following the mandate of the deceased through Bara, the secretary and his personal driver were. Everything has been arranged by Bara. Long before Mr. Bintang met his death, he had long given his will to his trusted lawyer and also several other trusts he entrusted to several people one of which was Bara, including for his funeral business when he died.

He did not want to trouble anyone, including his son. He did not want to burden the family he left with various inconveniences to take care of his body.

The body will be buried in the morning.

Aya went to the funeral home with the Arga family who continued to accompany her. There was a bit of an awkward feeling when Aya entered her father's house. This was his father's home but this was also the first time for him to set foot here. He himself already does not know how the house he used to live in when his mother was alive.

Bara asks for art in the house to take Aya to her room. Of course his father prepared a room in the mansion for him even though he never knew whether his daughter would use his room or not. The room is cleaned every day. There is a belief that one day Aya will occupy the room.

Alya approached Aya who had just sat on the bed with her blank look.

"Lo don't papa, do you?" Alya's question broke Aya's daydream. He shook!

Aya moved into the bathroom, she had not performed Isya prayer while now it was 1 in the morning. He was very tired today, the incident he had just experienced was like a dream, unfortunately it was real not a dream.

After the prayer, Aya laid her body on the bed. He went into the blanket. Alya who had lost her consciousness woke up because of Aya's movements. Alya pulled Aya into her arms. Again his tears flowed profusely, he cried without a sound. Soon they too fell asleep.

*****

Less than 10 am the body arrived at the funeral. Not many people attended because the funeral was held in private. It was Aya's own request because at will her father only had 2 siblings, they were very rarely interacted due to family problems.

Bara who understands the ins and outs of the family of the Bintang sir is following Aya's will. Unsolicited Bara will indeed carry it out in a closed manner, just tell the two Bintang brothers and some neighbors who are quite close to the Bintang pack in the housing complex.

Arga and Alya and their parents were also present at the funeral. Alya asked Arga to always be loyal to be near Aya, without being asked by Arga Alya would certainly do it.

Two Bintang brothers were also present, seen by Dino and Aunt Maya and their families there. They say hello to Aya just like him, anyway all this time they always show his hatred to Aya and her mother. Lagian Aya also has no energy to talk stale with anyone at this time.

In addition to them, the trustees of Mr. Bintang were also present there including some officials in his company and also doctors who had been handling his health.

Someone came hugging Aya with a hiccup. She's Aunt Maya, her father's youngest sister. Aya returned her embrace, it felt like Aya's tears had run out. He just kept quiet responding to all the hugs from people who wanted to strengthen him while occasionally patting his shoulders back. Aya just wanted to tell them that Aya was fine.

The same thing is also done by Fira, a neighbor next to the apartment unit that is quite close to him. Actually Aya was shocked to see his presence here, but again Aya already had no energy to just ask let alone think about it.

Likewise with aunt Maya who also had time to take her home, but Aya flinch.

Aya was still sitting between the navels of his parents, as his father's mandate, he wanted to be buried side by side with his wife.

Now that Aya has realized, she has really lost both her parents.

Since childhood, he wanted to become a doctor because he wanted to care for his parents when they were sick. In fact, he is now a doctor but even though he has no chance to care for his parents. Ironic right?

Finally, her crying broke again. Arga who could not bear to see the sadness Aya tried to calm him by embracing and gently stroking his shoulder, he carried Aya leaning against his chest.

"Satisfied we cry now because tomorrow and so on I don't want to see you crying like this anymore."

Aya's tears were getting broken, her tears and snot had already drenched Arga's black shirt. But Aya doesn't care anymore, she wants to be a little selfish on her own ego. All this time he always tried to appear strong without depending on anyone. But this time, let him show his fragility. He is weak, he needs a heart, his life is too quiet after so long.

After being satisfied with crying, Aya recited a prayer for her parents.

"Dad. sorry Aya! Mom, now I can meet my dad again. Hope you guys are okay there. Aya's home!"

Aya stood up then walked a little staggering. Arga caught his shoulder.

"Bring me home." The request to Arga.

Arga immediately carried Aya into his lap towards the car, there was Bara who was still faithfully waiting for the two of them. There was no rejection from Aya. He was very tired, very tired.

When he got in the car, Arga pulled Aya leaning on his shoulder.

"Sleep, I'll wake up if you're happy." Said Arga who directly obeyed Aya.

All the way home, Aya fell asleep in Arga's arms. Deck and soothing masculine aroma. Never had Aya felt her sleep this calm.
