He immediately hugged me and took off. In a big hug, I saw Brother Arya smiling. He walked towards the corpse hall. I smiled and kept watching. The shadow of Arya's brother entered inside the wooden crate.

"I'm sure, Arya's sister will wake up. He's back." I said

Now my mother took off and hugged me.

3 Days later, he arrived for the final ritual. For the Puri family, ngaben is done by paying attention to adult ayu (good day).

Ngaben is a funeral ceremony performed by Hindus in Bali. The ceremony is intended to purify the spirits of deceased family members who will be heading to the final resting place.

The word “ngaben” has the meaning of provision or ash which all aim to lead to the last release of human life. In Hinduism, in addition to being believed as the creator god, Brahma also has a form as the Fire God.

So ngaben ceremony is the process of purifying the spirit by burning using fire in order to return to the creator. The burning fire is believed to be the incarnation of Lord Brahma who can burn all the impurities attached to the bodies and spirits of the dead.

But for the royal family ngaben ceremony is also called a pelebon. The person who died (sawa) will be placed in the coffin. It will be placed in the Bade tower.

Krishna POVs

Tonight feels very different. I feel the cold. No longer a snow fall. My mind floated on my little family. My mother and sister are in Bali. I can't imagine how devastated my sister is right now. If I call now, she'll be sadder.

"Krish, you why daydream from earlier? Hayooo thinks about Utari again?" randy Ledek

But I'm quiet not shaking. Even just glancing and then throwing away face. Randi does not know or pretend not to know.

But for a moment, Randy approached me.

"Krish.." said.

"Why?" much

"I'm sorry, I just remembered that you're thinking about the temple again?" ask Randy

I just nodded my head.

"Patience bro, I'm sure your brother must be strong" said Randy

"He must be devastated. When she was sad, it turned out that I wasn't next to her" I said

"Now you call mama or Pande. Loe asks how your sister is doing" said Randy

I then bowed from my duod. I'll get a phone call soon. I already know who I'm going to call.

📞📞📞

Long time my phone hasn't been picked up. I'm getting more worried, are they busy entertaining sister.

10 Minutes later After 10 calls are not picked up. Finally lifted up too.

"How well are you? how is Candi? thank you, you are already beside the temple." said I streak

2 Minutes later I asked no answer.

"Hallo, it's good you're still there, right?" ask again.

"Eh. ha-hallo" said one person on the other end of the phone. I know that voice is not a good one. But the voice of a woman.

"Sorry this is right her phone number is good, right?" I began to doubt.

There was no answer for a long time. I also apologize for ending it. But there was quickly an answer from the woman.

"Ha-Hallo is right this is Kak Bagus' phone number. But Kak Bagus is in the park with the temple. Hape his brother is on charge" said the woman

"Sister? sorry, is this your sister Good? A schmuck?" tanya I try to remember the figure of her sister Nice.

For a long time I did not meet Sekar and Bagus. Sekar must have grown up by now. Age with Temple.

"Yes - yes Kak Krishna, this is Sekar. Brother wants to ask about the state of the temple?" ask Sekar

"Yes Sekar, how's my brother doing?" I'm just impatient

Sekar then told the state of the temple. I've guessed, that my sister will lose Arya. But I'm also a little relieved, because my sister is now next to Good. At least there will be people who strengthen their hearts.

Sekar also told, if tomorrow afternoon is a pelbon for Arya. Not forgetting I made an impression on Sekar. To keep giving me news. I also allowed Sekar to have my no hape. I know, tomorrow would be good to focus on Candi. So I rada, Sekar can definitely handle and give me information.

"His heart was broken. But I'm calm, 'cause there's good." I said

"good? Nice who?" ask Randy

"Good little friend, she's like family to me. So the temple will be fine as long as there is good." I said

*

I'm getting more and more confused, second by second. Minutes change minutes. Now it's only a few hours. Arya alan's body was immediately cremated.

"Candi, today is Aryan's balloon. He's calmed down. Tell him yes, there is a big brother here" said Kak Bagus.

"It's like a dream, brother." I said

"You who are patient on the deck." suddenly a woman's voice sounded.

We then looked towards the voice.

"Sir Ayu" I said

I hugged Ayu as well. I was so upset with him. I thought Ayu Kak would snatch Arya from me. It turned out that God had called Arya home.

"There's a letter for you from Arya. But the letter must be read after the balloon is finished" Kak Ayu said

"Why Brother?" much

"He wants you to read it in your room. Now let's follow the final ceremony for Arya" said Arya.

After getting an explanation from Ayu. I understand, I have to be tough. Arrived - arrived.

"Sister, our temple does not seem to be getting a chance to get close to the coffin of Kak Arya. Outside there are already many volunteers who will take Kak Arya to the final resting place" said Sekar

I also ran to the balcony. It's true what Sekar said. I saw thousands of humans crowded the castle. Besides, I saw a tall bade tower. Kira - kira is 25 m tall. There is also a tall cow figure.

My legs are boneless. I almost fell but a pair of soft hands immediately grabbed me. I turned around and saw the woman. A middle-aged woman who is very fashionable, beautiful, but her eyes are swollen. He looked at me and then stroked my cheek.

"Son, Arlina ... You look so much like our daughter. True said Arya, you are similar to Arlina. Can you hug me?" ask Ms. Cok Anggraini.

The beautiful woman is the mother of Arya and Arlina. I hugged my mother too. We were then invited to the main room. We were given permission to escort Arya to the latter.

Me, mom, dad, and Kak Bagus were then given permission to climb up the stairs. We herded Kak Arya's coffin up the bade tower. This was my first time riding and walking at a height without fear.

"Are you willing to go upstairs?" ask Mrs Cok

"For Arya's sake, I can bear ma'am." I said

We then walked slowly - slowly going up. Brother Bagus and mother led me. I have to be hard to see this reality.

Alunan bleganjur and the cry of prayer said. Festive of this ceremony.

I saw Kak Arya's coffin already in the bade tower. The person under boisterous to lift the bade. And then shortly thereafter. I'm holy lit. Slowly but surely the Agni burned from below. Then perfecting the penta maha Butha.

"Goodbye, Arya. Wait for me next to Brahman." My inner self.

After that, we also collected ashes from the body of Aryan. The ash was then put in a container. Then it will be thrown into the sea. Before that I looked at the ash container of Aryan.

"Goodbye brother, I will always miss you" I said

*

2 Days later, we went home. Kak Bagus and Sekar decided to stay at my house. They want to accompany me. Krishna also sent a message to them. To accompany me for a week. But Kak Bagus can not every day nginep. He has to go home. But Sekar was painstakingly in my house. I was on school leave for 2 weeks. But my best friend brings me notes every day. Sekar helped me copy the material and do the work.

I then remember the letter of Kak Arya that was entrusted to Kak Ayu. I immediately grabbed my bag and searched for it. A pretty pink envelope was already in my hand.

I opened it slowly ...
