Ballad of Love The Dancer
Chapter 123

The news of Mang Aa's death spread quickly among his neighbors and work relations. The sudden departure of Mang Aa was quite surprising to various parties. Rumors are uncontrollable. The allegation of Mang Aa was hit hard and lost to witch doctors spread.

The nosy neighbor's skewer about Mang Aa's death to Sari's ears made her a little sultry. It feels like Sari wants to explain the real thing about the death of her beloved uncle. However, Hendra prevented it. 

"Don't say anything to anyone. This is our secret. Let the rumor spread later also disappear Sar!" Mas Hendra reminded Sari to be quiet.

Sari obeyed the words of Hendra, he no longer wanted to argue as usual. This was the biggest mistake of his life. Sari instead of not being able to face an opponent last night she was only a little surprised because she had only first faced the genie of the stingy bearer alone.

...----------------...

As the saying goes, dead elephants leave tusks, dead tigers leave stripes and dead humans leave names. Every human being will be known and remembered according to his good and bad deeds in the world. 

A good name will be more valuable than a treasure because a good name will be remembered when we die. While the bad name or new belangnya will be seen and revealed when we die.

Mang Aa is known as a kind, friendly person, always smiling, and selflessly helping. Apart from his abilities in terms of magic, he is better known as a pleasant person. That's why mourners who come so much, come in turn to give strength to those who are left behind.

Contrary to the reverse with Mang Usep and Arjuna who look good but save lies and bad. 

News of the death of the father and son also soon spread widely both in the surrounding environment, art actors, and also black magicians. All that came out of their mouths were swearing, insults and insults. 

Very few of the mourners came to the art gallery. Those who had so far harbored hatred and resentment towards Mang Usep and his son felt relieved that they could finally be defeated. Their behavior has both unsettled the surrounding residents and also the environmental guards.

...----------------...

Mang Aa's bathed body was buried in the living room. Aunt Eka still had no power to endure her grief. He passed out many times and could not bear the sadness. Aunt Kurnia continued to be by Mang Aa's side and her mouth did not stop offering prayers for her beloved sister. 

Sari sat dumbstruck with Bagas and Doni dressed in all black. His gaze was empty, he had not even filled his stomach with anything. Tears kept flowing in silence. Bagas who was worried to see the state of Sari persuaded Sari to fill her stomach with small meals.

"Sar, eat first you'll get sick."

Sari just shook her head. Bagas did not lose his mind, he took the initiative to feed Sari with sweet bread that he bought. Sari remained unmoved, her mouth tightly shut. His eyes were only fixed on Mang Aa's body which had been wrapped in a shroud.

"Sar, eat a little. Snacking tuh bread, Bagas dah buyin for Lo. Don't self-torture, even the ones you have are sick!" Doni tries to persuade Sari.

"No laper." answered Sari briefly.

"Little Sar, dear this red bread." timpal Bagas.

They both gave up, Sari just wanted to drink herself was not tasteful to eat. He chose to approach Mang Aa's corpse, hugged her and whispered an apology in Mang Aa's ear. Her crying broke again as she read Yasin's letter to Mang Aa.

Time for Mang Aa's body to be sent to its final resting place. Mang Aa's body was taken to a local mosque to be sholated.

 The mourners who participated in the funeral prayer were quite a lot to spill out of the mosque courtyard. Today's weather seemed to mourn the death of Mang Aa, cloudy clouds enveloped the city of Cirebon.

Mang Aa was buried in the cemetery which is located opposite the house of Aunt Kurnia. The raindrops began to fall when Mang Aa's body was lowered into the burrow. The sobbing was still heard from Aunt Kurnia and Aunt Eka, Mang Aa's wife.

Sari who was standing right on the right side of the burrow occasionally wiped her tears. Bagas hugging Sari gave strength to him. So is Doni who occasionally rubbed Sari's back to calm her beautiful friend.

The sound of the Adzan was echoed by Hendra to make the atmosphere more calm and soluble in sadness. Anyone's heart will tremble when listening to the sound of adhan so beautiful was echoed mas Hendra for the last time for Mang Aa.

The funeral procession was over, one by one the mourners left the cemetery. Leave the nuclear family alone and Mas Hendra. Sari crouched in Mang Aa's navel closed her eyes and prayed for her beloved uncle.

Sari placed a few sprigs of fresh roses on the wet mound of land where Mang Aa rested quietly. He whispered in a low voice,

"Goodway Mang, Sari apologized and Sari promised starting today Sari will learn according to Mamang's instructions. Sleep quietly in his paradise …"
