Still Haikal POV's.
Arriving home, I went straight to the refrigerator and picked up a bottle of fruit juice and took two glasses and brought them to the porch beside my house. While waiting for Max to come here. He said he was going to be home soon but I asked him to meet me here first.
It wasn't for no reason that I asked Max to meet me and not just because I wanted to be accompanied by a cigarette, just that I wanted to ask him something. Important things I never knew about again.
I started reaching into the pocket of my pants and then took a pack of cigarettes that I had been carrying since then, since getting out of the car. My head felt heavy for a moment.
Especially when I heard about Clara's childhood. This heart really wants to get out of place. How could Clara have had a childhood with those two mean men? And when he saw his face that seemed to miss his childhood friends, it made my heart really touched and thought to do this all.
Yeah, Clara should know about those two fucking guys. Clara must know how the two of them made Tika almost lose her life, even though a miracle appeared to the twins.
Tinctong! Tinctong!
I immediately stood up to open the door because the one who came was Max. But how surprised I was to see Jefri who also came with him.
“Hai,” greet Jefri to me, then I invite the two of them to enter.
And unlike usual, this time Max did not bring drinks or snacks. He came empty-handed, and so did Jefri. Then I immediately invited them to relax on the side porch.
“However, I take a glass first,”, I said as I stepped back into the kitchen to pick up a drinking glass and then re-open the refrigerator, take another box of fruit juice that I have. And then give it to both of them.
The three of us enjoyed each other's cigarettes in silence until I finally decided to open my voice first.
“Kok, can you both be?” ask me to look at the two of them in turn.
“We ran the meeting earlier.” Max answered first.
I nodded in understanding. Max did say on the phone that he had just finished a meeting. It's just that I didn't expect that his business partner was Jefri, our sister-in-law.
Then suddenly Jefri continued to open talks, discussing about construction projects that would roughly benefit both sides. Even though I didn't understand, with what they were talking about, I still listened to everything.
Until the atmosphere returned to silence, all that was heard was the whirring of the wind.
Then I finally ventured to ask, even though I knew, my question could later become a problem. “Max, can I have it?”
Max looked at me. “Apaan? Tumben want permission first, very polite?”
”Yes yes, play time ask aja,” sahutku while crybaby. “Dave same Dana buried where?”
Instantly both pairs of eyes of the man immediately turned his head, looking at me with the corner of his eagle eyes. As if the question I was asking was one I shouldn't mention.
“I just asked, because it looks like my future wife is connected to both of them.”
“You mean?” Jefri's confused.
I sighed slowly then I started explaining to the two of them that Dave and Dana were Clara's childhood friends. I also told them about what happened a few hours ago, where I just found out about it.
“Then what does this have to do, you know about the bodies of the two of them?” ask Max coldly.
“I just want to know and if I may, I want to take Clara there. He should know about his childhood friend. He should know if the two men are what makes our family always plagued by problems.” I am slowly.
Because I really understand if the two men are a very sensitive issue if discussed. Especially for Jefri who became a direct target of them.
Then Max told me all about Dave and Dana. He buried the two men properly in the same burial complex as Papah.
“If you want to go there, just try asking the guard to show the exact location.” Max advised. I'm nodding.

The next day, I woke up faster than usual. And I decided not to go back to the hospital last night, thankfully. Because there is no schedule of others that I have to replace or anything else.
And when I get there, I'll tell the truth. After all, for me this was one of the important things she should know before we got married. So that there will be no misunderstanding between us.
Finished cleaning up and getting ready, I went straight to Clara's house. Before I told him, if I was going to ask him to come out this morning, he accepted my invitation.
I had also bought some bouquets of flowers, the first of course for me to give to Clara, as my previous promise as a reminder of me. That he is mine.
“Where are we going exactly? Why did you buy so many flowers?” clara asked as we were on our way. I didn't answer him, just smiled faintly at him.
Until I finally turned the steering wheel, entered the cemetery complex. “Oh, you want to nyekar to eat papah huh? Say dong. Good thing I wear polite clothes, if I wear a mini skirt how?”
“You will never touch a mini skirt and any clothes that lack the material again if it's the same me. Because I don't want others to enjoy looking at your body.” Then I immediately turned off the car engine after it was perfectly parked. And Clara just fell silent at my words just now.
Her face was red and she looked dreamy as I opened the back door to pick up all the bouquets. “You want to wait in the car alone, or come with me out to see papah?” my bargaining made him wake up and look smiling.
“Of course I want to meet my father-in-law.” Clara smiled and got out of the car.
I walked first to the tomb of Papah, as soon as I arrived, I immediately put the biggest bouquet of flowers for her and said, “Pah, next week I will marry this girl. Maybe Papah already knows and I want to ask for papah's blessing for both of us. Pray that our household ark is always protected and for the rest of life,” I said aloud and turned to look at him.
There wasn't much I did in the papah tomb, just that sentence I said. Then Clara just stroked the nissan stone.
“Let's go to another tomb,“ take me to him.
Clara showed her confused face but she tried to keep quiet, not asking whose tomb we would visit. I asked her to hold the two remaining bouquets of flowers. Then I approached a guard there and asked him where the tomb I was looking for was. He stood up and showed it.
“Well there was a single tree there, under the tree was his tomb.” Point him at his fingertips. I understood then took Clara walking towards there casually.
“There are other tombs you want to visit?” ask her while walking beside me.
“Iya, and I want to show it to you.”
My eyes immediately turned to the other direction to look for the names of the two brothers which turned out to be right under a tree. Clara had not noticed it yet, because she was busy watching her legs and also looking the other way.
Then I turned to her face to stop her legs behind me. “Maybe you would be more deserving to put that flower into this tomb,” I said.
Slowly Clara's eyes turned towards the tomb I showed using facial movements. At that instant I saw his round eyes and his pecking body. Then a few seconds later, her eyelids just let out tears. No longer a trickle but flowing so fast.
Instantly, Clara dropped herself, kneeling between the two tombs. His sobs just sounded. And I know, right now he must be in shock as soon as he reads the name engraved on the nissan stone in front of him.
There wasn't a word Clara said, she was just a mouthful of crying. Even the two flower bouquets were still within his grasp. He had not yet placed them in each tomb.
“Those who caused chaos in my family all this time. Dave accidentally shoots Tika until she has to give birth to twins. At that time, Tika and Jefri almost lost the twins. Then some time ago, Dana who kidnapped Mama until Jefri had to be shot,” I explained to him.
Clara flinched, she stayed in place. Of course still with his sobs while looking at the tomb.
“As soon as last night I heard you and your other friends mention the full names of these two brothers, I felt I had an obligation to tell the truth as soon as possible. Because I don't want any misunderstanding between you and my family. Especially with Tika.” I added back.
I slowly lowered my body, crouched behind him then squeezed his shoulders while looking at him from the side. I saw another part of Clara who had no idea what it was. What is clear is that he was hit back, almost the same when he lost his mother. To make me ask, how big and important are these two brothers to my future wife?
“Sorry .. I did not expect, if the two of them turned out to be troublemakers. Me ... I ..” Clara sobbed again and covered her face with both palms. I approached him and grabbed him from behind. Let her cry out for the moment. Because tomorrow and beyond, I will try not to make her shed her tears again.
