After breakfast, Kinara returned to her room. This morning he plans to visit Erlangga. Kinara tidied up her appearance and picked up the motor keys lying on the study table.
Dddrr...
"Hallo, Jeng", said Kinara.
"Hallo, brother, not busy this morning?", asked Ajeng.
"Not really, Jeng. Wh why? want some more clothes?".
"No. If you're not busy, I'd like to meet, would you?".
"Mmm.can, but a tenth hour yes. I want to make a pilgrimage to Mas Erlangga".
"Oh yeah, I'll come along if so. I haven't been on a pilgrimage there in a long time".
"Ok, I'll pick you up again".
"OKs".
Kinara closed the call from Ajeng. He immediately said goodbye to his parents.
"Wouldn't you go?", asked Alisa popping her head from behind the bedroom door. Kinara nodded.
"Back home buy me another dong kak", pinta Alisa.
"Ok", replied Kinara shortly.
Kinara immediately propelled his motor to Ajeng's house. Ms. Tria seemed busy watering flowers accompanied by Mr. Wijaya who was enjoying a cup of tea and seriously read the newspaper.
"Assalamualaikum, mah, pah", said Kinara.
"Waalaikumusalam", replied Bu Tria and Pak Wijaya simultaneously.
"Nara, let's go in here, son", Miss Tria seems to welcome Kinara.
Kinara immediately greeted his father and mother. Bu Tria hugged Kinara tightly.
"How are you? healthy?", Ms Tria stared at Kinara from top to bottom.
"Thank God be healthy, mah. Same mom papa how are you? sorry mah, pah, Nara just came here now", Kinara looked at Mama Tria and Papa Wijaya alternately.
"What's wrong. Papa and mama are healthy", replied Mr. Wijaya.
Kinara smiled happily. Bu Tria immediately invited Kinara into the house, as well as Mr. Wijaya.
"Oh yeah, pah, mah, this is Nara bringing a little souvenir from Paris. May you and mom like it, yes", Kinara handed over her hand.
"You shouldn't bother like this. Can you meet now papa and mama are already happy amazing, yes pah?", Bu Tria glanced at Pak Wijaya and answered with a nod of the head.
"What's wrong. Papa and mama are rarely Nara jenguk, even though Nara can go to college there also because of papa and mama. This gift is not comparable to the love, care and sacrifice of papa and mama" said Kinara.
Pak Wijaya and Bu Tria smiled at the same time.
"Thank you. Mom and Dad received it. Oh yes, Nara wants to make what drinks?", asked Ms. Tria.
"Don't bother so, mah. Nara is not a guest, later Nara can take it herself if possible", replied Kinara smiling.
"certain. This house is your home too. Do whatever you like here, yes", added Mr. Wijaya. Kinara's smile grew even more.
"Hi brother, sorry to wait a long time", Ajeng came. Kinara smiled.
"Where are you going so neatly?", asked Mr. Wijaya.
"I want to accompany Kak Nara on pilgrimage to Kak Angga, pah, mah. Can ya?".
"Oh want a pilgrimage. You can, but do not wander anywhere after the pilgrimage, must go straight home. Remember, you guys are candidates for manten you know, should be dipped. The day after tomorrow is getting married is still a way out" said Bu Tria.
"Have your parents not told you about your marriage, son?", asked Mr. Wijaya who caught Kinara's astonishment.
"Who's wedding, pah? Ajeng?", Kinara asked. Mr. Wijaya smiled faintly at the back question from Kinara.
"Sit down here in a minute. There are important things that papa and mama want to convey", pinta Pak Wijaya.
Ajeng who already knew about the wedding plans Kinara chose to sit next to her sister-in-law and her best friend.
"So, some time ago Farhan and his mother came here to see us and also to meet your parents. They intend to propose to you. We and your parents both accepted the proposal, even though the final decision is yours, son. Farhan was a good man, very good. According to papa and mama, it is time for you to have a companion again. You are young, your life is long. Papa and mama know how hard you are to accept Erlangga's departure and Farhan's presence. But there's no harm in you considering Farhan's proposal. Papa and mama are your parents and all the family has approved, don't hesitate. Erlangga also definitely hope you can continue your life with a good companion, and papa think Farhan is the right person", said Mr. Wijaya to the point.
"Yes, honey. To papa and mama, you are not only a daughter-in-law, but you are our daughter, her brother Ajeng. We want to see your life happy and colorful again. Papa and Mama are very appreciative and accept whatever your decision is. If you are willing, papa, mama, Ajeng, both of your parents, we even hope you can get married as soon as Farhan" added Bu Tria.
Kinara swallowed his saliva many times. Her heart rumbled even more because what my mom and dad said was not just about engagement but about marriage.
"Sister, I really want my brother to be happy. We both know Farhan. I also know very well what kind of man Farhan is. I'm sure he can look after and love big brother like Kak Angga look after and love big brother first" Ajeng said.
There was a deep haru in Kinara's heart. He tried to calm himself and his heart, trying to hold back the already urgent tears to be shed. But in fact Kinara prefers to try to smile hearing all the words of the people around her.
"Thank you, papa, mama and Ajeng have always supported Nara. But sorry, Nara has not been able to decide at this time because of that, Nara still needs time to consider" replied Kinara.
Bu Tria and Pak Wijaya nodded their heads. They understood Kinara's current position and condition.
"Yes, papa and mama won't force you to answer now but I hope you don't delay the decision too long, yes".
Kinara nodded her head. The teacher chose not to speak much. After the conversation was over, Ajeng invited Kinara to make a pilgrimage. They both left.
Before reaching the funeral, Kinara bought a bouquet of her favorite white roses. He remembered, he used to get such a mysterious bouquet of flowers at the gate of his house from Erlangga. A faint smile was reflected on Kinara's lips considering how Erlangga had approached her.
"Why smile on your own?", asked Ajeng astonished to see his sister-in-law smiling herself from behind the rearview mirror.
"It's okay, Jeng. I remember something funny in the past", replied Kinara who remained focused on riding her motorcycle.
"Ciiieee..who's the funny thing? Farhan huh?", seloroh Ajeng.
"No. Don't kepo ah", replied Kinara short.
Now they have arrived at the funeral. Kinara and Ajeng went hand in hand. Kinara said his greetings when he arrived in front of Erlangga's pusara. He was determined to come happy. A sweet smile flashed on Kinara's lips.
Ajeng and Kinara khusyu prayed and sprinkled flowers and cleaned the dried leaves from the top of the tomb.
"Mas, here I bring you a white rose. My favorite flower, hopefully you also like it and want to accept it" said Kinara while stroking Erlangga's headstone.
He was so excited to see that scene. She could see flashes of love and sadness in Kinara's eyes but Kinara tried to hide them.
"Hi Kak Angga's. Sorry, I just got here again. Oh yes brother, the day after my wedding. Brother pray yes everything goes well and I can later be a good wife", Ajeng's turn to speak.
Kinara smiled glanced at Ajeng.
"And.I also want to ask permission from my sister. Please bless Kak Kinara married Farhan huh sis. My brother's last message will be with Kinara today. Sister's last hope must have been realized", Ajeng's eyes began to glaze over, the flash of her brother's face present in Ajeng's memory.
Kinara frowned hearing Ajeng's words but seeing Ajeng cry, she forgot her astonishment and preferred to hug Ajeng. Kinara could feel a deep longing from Ajeng to her brother.
"We must be strong, Jeng let Mas Angga be happy there. Didn't you?", asked Kinara who was still hugging Ajeng. Ajeng nodded his head.
"Sister, after this there's something important that I want to love my sister".
"What Jeng?".
"This, brother", Ajeng took out a small book from inside the bag he was carrying.
"What'sthis?".
"Open up, you'll know what it is. I hope this can help you to make a decision", explained Ajeng who made Kinara even more surprised.
The breeze gently hit Kinara and Ajeng's faces. Slowly but surely, Kinara opened the book that Ajeng gave her. His heart wondered, what more shocking thing would he get this time?.
