The Will of a Mate From Uncle

Lost as a father

In a simple house, Netavani was crying when she was near her uncle who was lying limp on his bed because of the pain he was suffering. In fact, doctors have given up on giving treatment.

"Uncle, hang. Don't leave Neta alone, Neta has no one but Uncle. Neta will work hard for Uncle." Neta said while holding her uncle's hand.

"My children, I-I'm sorry Pam-pam-paman. Jag-jaga dir-dirimu with good-chapters. In-it's a-there's sur-rat unt-tukmu." His uncle answered and exhaled his last breath.

While some of his neighbors were around him also sad when he saw the departure of his uncle Neta, Gowanda.

"Uncle ...! don't leave Neta, Uncle ...." Neta shouted hysterically, also with tears in her eyes.

"Neta, calm down, son, strengthen your heart. Your uncle has come home quietly, wish him all the best. Relieve his departure, and take care of you, son. Everyone's going home, just like your uncle. Come on, kid, let someone else take care of your uncle's body." Said a middle-aged mother.

The figure of the woman was already considered her own mother Neta, from a small Neta only lived with her uncle. His parents had all died, including his uncle's wife.

"No, Uncle must have just fainted, he's sleeping right, Mom?"

At that time, Winda's mother, who had been considered her own parents by Neta, also tried to invite Neta to move places, because her uncle's body had to be taken care of immediately.

Neta still continued to cry as much as she could, sadness and loss were falling on her. He now lives a life without family.

Vinda's mother, who also mourned the death of her uncle Neta, tried to calm her down.

Neta, who was in the arms of Winda's mother, was still crying.

"Calm your mind, son. Everyone will be back, please let your uncle go. Strengthen your heart, and accept it freely. I'm sorry for your uncle's passing. You are not alone, there is a Mother who will always accompany you." Said Madam Winda while rubbing her back Neta to give peace to Neta.

"Neta hasn't been able to please Uncle, Mom. Neta has not returned the favor to her Uncle who raised Neta, who always obeyed Neta's wishes, Mom. Why doesn't Neta have to go, and Neta doesn't have anyone else." Neta replied that was not controlled for his words, because he felt he lost the figure of Uncle who replaced his father.

Neta continued to cry, even feeling tight part of her chest with her heavy breathing. While Ibu Winda who understands the condition Neta, trying to calm him.

Because it is impossible to buy time and it is almost afternoon, residents who come to worship participate in taking care of the body, from the one who bathes and others help him.

Neta herself is still mired in grief because she had to lose her uncle's departure, powerless if she had to see him. His body alone felt powerless to stand, it could only bow down miserably.

When Ibu Winda managed to persuade Neta, it felt relieved when his persuasion was received. After everything has been taken care of, including the body that will be buried.

With the assistance of Ms. Winda, Neta felt that someone cared about her, even though everything was good as well, and cared about Neta, as well as in her suffering, but Ibu Winda was the closest to Neta from all its outpouring.

After sowing flowers and praying for her uncle's departure, Neta now returns home with Ms. Winda and some of the residents who came home last.

Arriving inside the house, Neta sat with her face still covered. It is undeniable that the departure of his uncle is really like losing the figure of his own parents.

Ms. Winda who remembered when she kept something wrapped in a small envelope from Neta's hand, immediately took it again.

"Son Neta, this is something your uncle gave you, take it. Maybe in this envelope there's something important to tell you, open it up and see what's inside." Said Ms. Winda while handing a small envelope to Neta.

With mixed feelings, between fear and curiosity, Neta finally accepted it.

"What's that, Mom? Neta is scared, Mom. I'm the only one who opens, Neta's scared." Reply Neta who suddenly felt afraid of the contents inside the envelope.

Curiously and carefully, Neta finally opened it.

Degdegan it is certain, it still has to be opened and seen the contents.

Instantly, Neta felt heavy when she found the folds of paper in the envelope.

"Mom, did you open it? Neta's scared, Mom."

"Don't do it, kid, just open it and you see the contents. It must be an important letter to you, just open it and don't be afraid." Replied Ms. Winda who still refused the request from Neta.

Neta herself who had no other choice, finally herself who opened the folding paper even with mixed feelings.

Slowly with his two glazed eyes, keep opening the folded paper that is ready to open.

As the paper folds into a sheet of paper, Neta's gaze is fixed on the handwriting. Neta carefully read it, and not a single sentence was left behind.

"Go to town? married?" he said with a very heavy voice.

Ms. Winda who was curious about what had just been said with her slightly less clear voice, grabbed the paper and read it.

Carefully and thoroughly in each sentence, read it. After finishing reading, Ms. Winda only understood what the contents of the will were.

"So, you were asked to go to the city to come to this address, son? also, you've been betrothed."

"Meta doesn't know, Mom. You see, Neta was never invited to the city with uncle. So, Neta doesn't know if it turns out Neta wants to be betrothed." Answer Neta in lethargy.

"Maybe this is the answer, son. After you get married, you'll find your happiness in town." Say Mother Winda.

Neta looked at Madam Winda.

"Neta is so scared, Mom. Moreover, marrying a man that Neta does not know, there will definitely be a lot of differences and may also be able to get into trouble."

"Ulus. It's not good to talk like that, son. It's a will from your late uncle, surely behind this will there will be answers about your parents. You have to think positive, do not be bad first. If you're afraid to go alone, I'm ready to take you all the way to town."

"No, Ma. Neta will not go to the city, Neta is afraid that if you arrive in the city it will be inversely proportional to what Neta imagined. Meningan Neta lives in this village alone, rather than having to live the rigors of life in the city, Mom." Reply Neta who is shadowed by fear.

"Don't be afraid, trust me. Haven't you been curious about your parents since childhood? this is your chance to find out the truth. Maybe you still have family in town, son." Said Miss Winda trying to convince Neta.

Neta who got advice from Ms. Winda, was still silent.

"How are you, Mom?" asked Neta who was in a dilemma, more recently lost the figure of an uncle who became a substitute for his parents.

Ms. Winda nodded, the sign giving the code to say yes.

"You think it's okay, you have a week. So, you don't have to be rash." Reply Ibu Winda gave advice.

Neta finally nodded and accepted the advice of Madam Winda.
