Danu knocked on the door of his father's hotel room and his mother-in-law's room

chequeleked

"my father knew where Clarissa and ericko were.." After Clarissa and Ericko left the hotel where Feroz and Yumna had been at their wedding, they did not return to the hotel that night..

they disappeared and no one knew where they were

after the reception everyone helped find Clarissa and ericko, but no one found them until morning.

"they are where NU is" asked Chintya, there was a sense of haru, last night he did not sleep thinking about where his two children went

"so I tried to call back ericko's cell phone number, and it turned out to be active, ericko said he and Clarissa were fine, only they asked mom to come to a public grave not far from here..."

"general grave?, what are they doing there?"

"i asked Ericko what they were doing, but ericko just said they wanted me to come there, now"

"what are you waiting for, let's go there now.."

Erwin and Danu nodded their heads in a gesture of agreement

"dad.." Feroz called Erwin who walked in a hurry following his wife who walked first and behind him there was Danu who walked no time to rush

because of Feroz's scream the three of them stopped his steps

"how have you heard about Clarissa and Ericko." asked Feroz worriedly

"so erikco called, said he they are now in the tomb not far from here, they ask mom there" replied danu

"to the tomb??"

"yes, I also don't know why ericko and Clarissa asked mom to come there.."

"yes if we go there now, we go there too" said Roy and all his family agreed

.

Danu stopped his car right in front of Clarissa who was sitting on the bench in front of the tomb area

"honey.." Danu hugged his wife tightly

"pardon me mas. sorry my dear mother.." after hugging Danu Clarissa kissed the face of her son who was in her mother's arms

"forgive me Clarissa's made mom and everybody's worried..." Clarissa knew everyone must be worried about her condition and ericko suddenly disappeared

"how are you and ericko Clarissa.." asked Feroz who approached them, there was no answer for Feroz, somehow after hearing the news about Ersha's departure made Clarissa lazy to talk to feroz, but he's not angry just lazy

"ohh there's om and Auntie too.." Clarissa did not realize that not only her husband, children, mother-in-law and both her parents had come to the tomb but there was also a large family of feroz

"yes dear aunt and everyone is worried about you and ericko" said Maya

"pardon us for worrying everyone.."

"actually you are from anywhere and where ericko.." asked Chintya, from them until she did not see the whereabouts of her son

"yesterday me and ericko went to the beach, when we went back to the hotel we met with Aunt Nia.."

"Tante Nia?"

" yes mother, Aunt Nia, we come with Aunt Nia to her house, Auntie's house is not far from here, we talk a lot with Aunt Nia, we talk a lot with Aunt Nia, because it was fun to talk we did not realize it was late at night, when we want to go home, heavy rain, Aunt Nia forbid us to go home in a state of night and heavy rain, so we decided to stay at Aunt Nia's.."

"but I can call." said Erwin ketus, inexplicably hearing Nia's name makes him sick

"clarissa's phone fell yesterday on the beach and broke dad, while ericko's lowbat and Clarissa's cell phone didn't miss Danu's new phone number.."

"now do not mind it first, which is important now where ericko ." Chintya stopped the debate between her daughter and her husband

"ericko is inside the mother, "

"make what ericko is inside.."

"ericko pilgrimage bury o'm Frans mother.."

"mas Frans?" chintya asked in surprise

"yes mother, om Frans has died two years ago, died in her sleep. then I ask mas Danu under the mother here, we pilgrimage om Frans ya mother, I ask you to go, how about Frans is her sister mama athira, "

"yes dear, is Auntie nia also inside.." Clarissa nodded her head, and without permission Erwin her husband Chintya and Clarissa entered the tomb area

Erwin tried to cover up his surprise with the news he had just heard, but due to his high ego he still chose not to join his wife's pilgrimage to the grave of his sister-in-law

feroz and his family chose to wait outside the tomb.

.

.

"that's Aunt Nia's mother..." Clarissa pointed to a middle-aged lung woman and a young man standing in front of one of the tombs

"mba Nia.."so the distance and Nia was close, Chintya immediately hugged the woman she already considered to be her own brother

"what's the news, I'm sorry, I don't know about Frans' departure" Chintya said guiltily

"it's okay what we're wrong, we stay away from everyone.you how are you doing Chintya?"

" i'm good how mba.mba?" and Nia simply replied with a smile that was difficult to interpret, Chintya tried to ignore the smile full of question marks.she recited a prayer for the late Frans

after reading Frans' prayer, he asked Nia where her daughter Ersha was, looking left and right for her daughter, he thought maybe the current Ersha was hiding did not want to

meet anyone

"you're looking for Ersha.?"asked Nia who was aware of Chintya's movements, and Chintya gave a smile in response

"why do you ask again, don't you know very well how longing mother is with Ersha.."

without giving an answer Clarissa clasped her mother's hand and walked closer to the tomb located not far from Frans's tomb,

confused as Chintya continues to walk to where Clarissa is taking her, her heart beats erratically as she sees Ericko crying as Clarissa clasps her hands, in her heart she asks what really happened

"who's Clarissa's grave?"ask Clarissa who brought her a cocktail filled with a bouquet of white roses

Clarissa hugged him tightly, kissing his forehead before Clarissa walked towards the tombstone whose writing was covered with a bouquet of white roses,

with weight and tears that were no longer held back Clarissa lifted a bouquet of flowers that covered the writing on the tombstone

and as soon as Chintya's eyes were round, her heart was racing, her breathing was like being held in her chest was hurting, she was drooping, she was sitting helplessly in front of the tomb

"Ersha.." cried loudly.

on the tombstone was written the name he never wanted written in the tombstone

"Ersha Inara bint Erwinsyah"

.

.

.

chintya's loud screams rang out of the tomb area

the different expressions were different from all those outside the tomb area, who heard the name Ersha.

there is a sense of longing that suddenly explodes, but there is also a sense of anger and disappointment that holds it all.

Erwin misses his daughter, but his ego is too high, he is angry, why Ersha never once came to apologize to him, and instead chose to disappear, now after five years why does Ersha appear in such a state.

unlike Erwin, Feroz did not show any expression, he looked calm and did not care about Chintya's yelling voice, while his family was also different, they all seemed to want to enter the tomb area, looking at the long-lost Ersha that they missed, but for the sake of keeping their son feeling, they could only keep quiet and just wait for what had happened within the tomb area.

while Danu soon enters the tomb area, however she also misses ersha Inara the woman who once stole her heart

Danu stopped her steps, when she saw her mother-in-law crying in front of a tomb, and she was sure it wasn't Frans' meal, because at this time she stood right in Frans' grave where Nia was standing next to her husband's grave..

slowly he approached his mother-in-law and his wife.The tomb of whom they cried, why did his mother-in-law mention the name ersha, his tears just fell, all the possibilities play in his mind, he hoped the name written on the gravestone was not Ersha's name and he continued to convince himself it was not Ersha's tomb,

"Ersha.."his crying broke.

the tomb is Ersha's

with slow steps he came out of the tomb area,

"what's up Danu.." Roy's question welcomed his presence, and he just kept quiet and looked at the middle-aged man with a hard-to-understand look

Danu approached her father-in-law, right in front of her father she stopped her steps.how do she convey this to her father-in-law

his breathing was rough.Wiped his flowing tears.

"father.. Ersha we're dead, father." That sentence sounded slow, but it was so sharp it ripped the heart out.

in a moment of silence, everyone was silent they could not believe the sentence that had just been heard

"you said what Danu said." cried Erwin

without listening to the answer from Danu Erwin ran into the tomb area

"you must be lying, Danu." asked Maya

"Ersha died four years ago Auntie.."

"Gushma..." Maya collapses to hear the news, however much she loves Ersha, and the news is not what she expected

feroz he was silent a thousand languages, he hated Ersha so much, but why did he feel such excruciating pain when he heard the news

Yumna who saw the look on Feroz's face that looked calm turned into a look of sadness immediately approached her husband, without saying a word she hugged her husband, she knew the news of Ersha's departure had a little bit of an effect on her husband

in his wife's arms Ersha's face played in his mind, Ersha's voice as real was clearly heard in his ears, all the memories of his happiness with Ersha were automatically played in his mind

"Ersha... " Erwin approaches Ersha's tomb

she cried so much, her heart broke.she regretted her stupidity that had thrown away her daughter.

"mas Ersha kita mas" lirih Chintya welcomed her husband

"Ersha why did you leave my dear father, do you hate my dear father so much. I was a bad father four years had my daughter gone but I did not know her at all..sorry dear father" Erwin is devastated,

'father ...' Erwin still clearly remembered how his little daughter called him

he clearly remembered how happy he and his little daughter were running away in the park

she still clearly remembered how she persuaded her sulking little daughter

she still clearly remembered when she took her beautiful daughter's hand to school

she still vividly remembers the moment when she became the marriage guardian of her beautiful daughter

and the most regrettable moment when he threw his daughter out of his life..

feroz stared at Ersha's grave, he did not know what he was feeling, sad to be upset..

all this surprised him so much

"who are you, why are you all here." asked a man who had just arrived.The man looked angry to see the people who were crying and gathered at Ersha's grave.

"they are all our earth family, they want to pray for Ersha." Nia said to the man who turned out to be the earth

"you lied doctor, I and Ersha don't know them, they're not my brothers. ask them to go doctor, I don't want anyone to disturb Ersha's sleep.." said the man in a voice filled with anger,

and all those who were there were confused as to what had happened to the earth, why did the earth seem to not recognize them

"we'd better talk in my house, I'll tell you everything, what Ersha has experienced after you guys dumped and what Ersha has experienced long before she married you feroz.. and you should know what Ersha experienced during Ersha being your wife." that sentence sounded so bitter

'what's been going on Ersha's mind.
