Arisan (What's Next Name? )
Part 4 - Noni Cemetery

Noni is buried today in a public cemetery near her home complex. I and other Noni friends who participated in the service still could not believe and still could not recieve the sudden departure of Noni.

Susana houses many with mourners. Neighbors and Noni's family filled the house and yard. I helped prepare food and drinks for the guests who came.

"Hey ... Si Adit tuh comeeng, he wants to see what the hell. I wear his shirt so strange. Funny for people."

"Gush ... Maybe he's here and he wants to go somewhere else. So wear that shirt. Don't be so bad."

I just kept quiet while watching Adit and listening to my friends. It's true, Adit's not like he's going to mourn, but like someone who wants to go to a party.

I went back to the words of my two friends. It's true said Tasya Adit's appearance is too eccentric, but true Leon said we should not be bad to think.

I tried to shift my mind and go back to accompany Sherlin who still looked very sad to lose a friend who was so close to her.

"Lin, don't get too late in the grief. I'm sure Noni's happy there." I tried to make Sherlin stop crying.

The mood is getting sad. The sobs of tears were mutual when Noni would be ready to be buried.

We were all preparing for a public funeral. We will all take Noni to her final resting place.

The reunion had to be postponed because we were grieving the loss of a friend.

We arrived at the public cemetery near the Noni compound. When we got there. I feel the atmosphere is getting tense.Noni's parents, especially Noni's mother. Hysterical when he saw his daughter put in a burrow.

I saw my friend's mother crying and wailing beside her daughter's meal. I don't feel like I can see all this. Even my friends who had not cried, now their tears fell. We feel this is what is called a farewell without encounter at a later time.

Goodbye to Noni. I'm sure you'll be happy and calm there. One day we may meet again in the afterlife. I hope your family can make this sudden departure.

Our friends will never forget you. You are a friend and brother to us. It seems heavy for all of us to split up suddenly like this. But this is what is called destiny. No one can prevent or run from their destiny.

Noni we're all your friends, escorting you to your final resting place. Maybe we can't talk to each other, laugh, face to face like yesterday, but don't worry about Noni. We will always pray for you, we will always remember you. We will always remember you as a friend and as a brother.

Rest peacefully there. We all have permission. Goodbye, friend, good-bye.

My friends and I left the tomb covered and filled with flowers.

We'll all come back here someday.
