There Is Him Among Us

Esmee Tomb

"Nothing?" ask Airin again.

Alea nodded her head while smiling faintly. "Yes, Rania died three years ago of leukemia. Aunt's only daughter leaves Auntie first." Alea was now sitting on the edge of her daughter's bedroom bed. The room was still the same as when Rania was occupied.

Airin was now sitting next to Alea, "Sorry Auntie. Aunt is sad."

"No, Aunt is not sad. Rania now has no pain there and now Auntie also has a daughter too. Raffa's wife, and also Reka's future wife and Revan later." Alea rubbed Airin's long hair. "Rania used to leave Auntie in third grade High School, your age. There are a lot of clothes in the closet. You just choose."

"Yes, aunt." Airin nodded his head.

Alea still rubbed Airin's hair with a smile. "Revan naughty isn't the same as you?"

Airin shook his head. What kind of naughty? Airin gave a small smile in her heart, Revan is indeed naughty when dating. Especially since I knew how a kiss felt.

"If he hurts you, say yes to auntie."

Airin just nodded his head.

"Yes, you change clothes first. He said he'd go to the tomb, right?"

Airin nodded his head again. "Yes, me and Revan already know about great-grandmother, meaning Grandpa Marko's mother."

"Grandmother? I'm sure Papa's happy to finally find out about his mother. You are great to know a lot of things. Yes, auntie wants to get ready first."

Airin nodded his head. After Alea came out of the room, Airin stood up and opened the large cupboard. He chose a polite dress to wear to the funeral. "It's got the same long sleeves pants."

Airin picked up the shirt, accidentally dropping a music box. The music box opened and sounded. Airin squatted down. He saw the music box spinning with one dancer on it.

Airin held onto the music box, as soon as a shadow of the past flashed through his head.

"I want to be a great dancer." It was seen a girl dancing so beautifully on stage but she suddenly fainted.

"I can't be a dancer anymore." She was crying and desperate.

Airin closed the music box. He stood up and put the music box back in the closet. Then she quickly changed clothes. After combing her hair for a moment, Airin hurriedly walked out of the room. Just as Revan approached her.

"Revan!" Airin restrained Revan's chest as his chest collided with Revan's.

"Why?" tanya Revan who saw Airin's panicked face.

"Van, why didn't you tell me you had a sister?"

"Oo, yeah no papa. Rania's sister is calm there." A second later Revan opened the door to the room. "Don't tell me you saw Rania's sister inside."

Airin shook his head. "Don't see, but..." Airin stopped his words as Kevin called out to Revan. "Let's tell me, we'll solve this problem first."

Then the two of them walked towards the terrace of Revan's house. Revan's family had already gathered there, including his uncle Revan and his wife.

"Van, Papa told Uncle Rendra to pray together at your school with kyai hut, later we will all also pray at your school."

"Come on! Grandpa can't wait to get a surprise from you." cried Grandpa Marko who was already in the car. "Revan same Airin sitting with grandfather in the back, yes" he added.

"Truly beloved granddaughter," ledek two brothers Revan.

After they all got into the car, their car immediately drove towards the hero's grave garden.

"Where are we going?" grandpa Marko asked Revan who was sitting next to him. Although his face looks wrinkled but his body is still fit. Only his movements slowed down while his body condition was still very healthy.

"We're going somewhere" Revan replied.

"You can always make Grandpa curious." Then Grandpa Marko looked at Airin who was just silent next to Revan. "Son Airin just shut up."

"Yes the cake." Airin just smiled stiffly. This was her first experience being in the midst of the Revan family.

"Don't be shy. We're all family. Grandpa see you guys are very compatible, hope you guys are a match. Pray for Grandpa to live a long life. Grandpa wants to see all granddaughters get married."

"Yes, Cake. Amen."

Moments later they stopped in front of the hero's grave garden.

"Why are we going to the tomb? Your great-great-grandmother's grave is not here and you're there, too" Grandpa Marko said.

Revan just smiled then got down first and helped his grandfather get out of the car. "Ai, bring me the album, "let's get Revan to Airin.

"Yes." Yeah." After retrieving the album book, Airin walked beside Revan.

"Grandpa a minute." Revan and Airin search for the tomb. Suddenly Esmee appeared and smilingly looked at Airin.

"Thank you for bringing my son here. It turns out true, the man who was with you was still a descendant of Mas Aryo."

Airin just fell silent, he now saw a tombstone bearing the name Esmee right under the ghost of the Dutch Noni. "Van, this is his grave."

After finding it, Revan immediately led his grandfather closer to the tomb.

"Esmee? Whose tomb?" ask Grandpa Marko.

Revan took the photo album that Airin brought and opened it. He showed Esmee's picture to his grandfather. "It's great-grandmother."

Grandpa Marko scrunched his forehead. "Grandmother Buyut?"

"Mother Grandpa."

"Mother?" a single tear fell on Grandpa Marko's cheek. No one has ever revealed the identity of her mother. He did not know at all that the photo that had been stored in the photo album was a photo of his mother.

Slowly Grandpa Marko sat on the grass followed by Airin and Revan. "Where do you know that?" ask Grandpa Marko.

"So the great-grandmother told him of his whereabouts through the help of Airin. Airin is indigo. He could see the invisible creature. Aryo's grandfather had a forbidden relationship with the Dutch general's daughter so Grandpa Aryo was arrested and went to prison. Grandma Esmee is pregnant with Grandpa Aryo. Grandma Esmee is also the one who helped the rebellion inside the prison but unfortunately when Grandpa Aryo managed to survive and escape, Grandma Esmee sacrificed herself for the safety of Aryo's grandfather and grandfather. Grandma Esmee was shot and killed."

"Nobody told Grandpa about this."

"All this was done for Grandpa's safety. So that no one knows that grandfather is the son of the Dutch." Revan now hugged his crying Grandpa.

"Thank you for the lovely gift." Grandpa Marko patted Revan's sturdy arm holding his body.

"I have one more gift for Grandpa" Airin said.

"What?"

"Hold my hand, cake."
