The Will of Love

Ch 47's. For your dear ones

"Our children have arrived."

Meli wakes Ar and Re who are asleep in her arms. Meli kissed the top of the heads of her two children, then gently stroked her forehead shifting her body that became the backrest of Ar and Re.

"Hmmmm.. We've arrived at Daddy's house, huh Bun?" Asked Ar while rubbing both his eyes.

"It's a pity" said Meli, then she invited her children to get out of the car after the driver opened the car door for Meli and her two children.

They walked down the cemetery complex, then Meli, Ar and Re's footsteps stopped at a tomb bearing the name of the man who Meli loved.

"Mas, I'm coming" Meli said in a soft voice.

The wind blew as if Aris welcomed the arrival of Meli and their children.

"Dad's Assalamualaikum, Ar brought you beautiful flowers. Happy birthday, may you be happy in heaven." Say Ar with his innocent face.

"Father's Assalamualaikum, Re also brought flowers for Dad. This is the flower of choice Re loh Dad, I hope you like it. Happy birthday to you." Say Re with a happy face.

Meli's chest felt tight when she saw the children saying birthday to Aris who had rested in nature there.

Now, they can only see the mound of earth that buried Aris's body a few meters inside. The two children of Meli put the bouquet of flowers on the head of Aris's grave. Meli sits on the rocks next to Aris' grave.

"Mas, thank you for the fruit of your love. Thanks to Ar and Re, I didn't feel lonely after you left." Meli said softly, while uprooting some of the weeds that grew over Aris' grave.

"I'm sorry for all my mistakes."

Meli also started crying. Ar and Re looked at Meli with pity. Then, the two of them hugged her Mother tightly.

"Mother why are you crying?" Ask Ar and Re.

"Mother is okay baby, Mother only misses Dad," said Meli, she tried hard and wipe her tears slowly.

"We miss Dad too."

Degg..!!

Meli's heart is getting sick to hear the speech of the tiny lips Re.

"Pardon Mommy yes Mother's children," said Meli, she again cried in the arms of her twins.

After a little calm, Meli also approached the grave next to Aris's grave. He sat down beside the grave.

"Mrs Retno, thank you for the will of her love. Thanks to the mistress, Meli now has beautiful and handsome children from Mas Aris. Mas Aris is a loving and great man. Meli was happy with him. But, Meli apologized Madam. Because Meli also the accident occurred that caused Mas Aris died. Meli hopes, Madam will be back together in nature there with Mas Aris." Said Meli while putting a bouquet of flowers that she bought for Retno.

Every time Meli visited the graves of Aris and Retno, she always repeated the same words as a form of regret for what had happened.

Meli and her children also pray together between the tombs of Aris and Retno. After they finished praying together, they spread flowers on the graves of Aris and Retno.

After that Meli put her greeting card on top of Aris' grave. A clean white greeting card with a floral pattern and a heart image on the cover.

Inside the greeting card was written the contents of Meli's heart.

To your dearest, Aris Suryo.

Happy birthday to my husband, even if we are separated physically, but we will never be separated inwardly.

On your birthday, I just wanted to say. Thank you for your love all along, and thank you for the presence of children who always make me feel, you are always by my side under any circumstances.

You are my first and last love. My life is only for our children now. I want to sleep next to you one day. I've bought a piece of land right on your side of the retreat. So that I can be close to you when I close my eyes later.

With all my love.

Meli, your wife.

"Marr, Retno.. Let's go home, it looks like it's going to rain today" Meli said to her two children.

"Yes Mother."

"Mas, Mrs Retno, we go home first." Meli Say.

His eyes stared blankly at the graves of the two people he loved dearly. Then, he stepped out of the public funeral complex.

Along the way home, Meli continued to hold her two children. Then, he breathed heavily. He had to continue living well for the sake of his two children. Although it is hard for him to be a single parent who is determined to dedicate the rest of his life only to his children.

...

"Neng, Bibik wants to talk to Neng."

Bik Parni and Kang Jaja were standing next to the living room sofa while Meli was busy with her laptop.

Meli looked at Bik Parni and Kang Jaja carefully, then she smiled and let Bik Parni and Kang Jaja sit in front of her.

"What do you want to say Bik?" Said Meli while closing her laptop.

"Look, Bibik and Kang Jaja want to go home." Bik Parni said with doubt.

"Well, what's up Bik? Kang's? Did Meli make a mistake to Bibik and Kang Jaja?" Ask Meli with a serious face.

"No Neng. no mistake really, all this time Neng Meli treated us so well" said Kang Jaja.

"So, why go home Bik? Kang?" Ask Meli again.

"Anu Neng's... Anu.."

"What kind of Bik?" Tanya Meli was curious.

"Look, Bibik and Kang Jaja want to get married."

Meli looked up at Bik Parni and Kang Jaja.

"Huh...!!!!!!"

Kang Jaja and Bik Parni also looked at each other when they saw Meli's reaction.

Meli began to smile and covered her face with her palms.

"Yes Neng, we're getting married." Bik Parni repeated her words timidly.

"Oh my goodness, congratulations, Kang...." Meli said as she looked at the two people she loved with sparkling eyes.

"Thank you, Neng, " said Kang Jaja and Bik Parni.

"So, instead of the wedding in Kampung, let's just call the family in Kampung to come here." Meli said excitedly.

"We don't have that much money, Neng, if you call all the families to come to Jakarta." Bik Parni.

Meli looked carefully at Bik Parni and Kang Jaja.

"Bik, Kang, Meli are very happy when Bibik and Kang Jaja are happy. Marry here, let Meli prepare everything." Said Meli with a sincere look in her eyes.

"Bibik is not good Neng," said Bik Parni.

"Bik, Kang, we're family."

Meli looked at Kang Jaja and Bik Parni.

They also become overwhelmed with the kindness of Meli.

"Thank you Neng." Kang Jaja and Bik Parni.

Then Bik Parni hugged Meli with haru. While Jaja was only able to wipe his haru cries and looked at Meli with gratitude.
