Ballad of Love The Dancer
Chapter 141

Mom Adeline's extended family gathers to prepare for the seven-day event of Mang Aa's death tonight. Aunty Kurnia assisted two domestic assistants are busy preparing small meals for the invited guests. Mom Adeline was busy in the kitchen. He seemed to enjoy being with the brothers after living abroad for a long time.

Sari, Bagas and Doni also helped. They are busy filling the bags of cloth with sembako that has been prepared by Aunt Eka for the invitation of Yasin tahlil later tonight. Quite a lot is prepared for the event tonight, considering not only neighbors but also relatives who have not had time to attend the funeral Mang Aa also came.

"Sar, how many of these are actually getting caught? How many people would like to be invited as if there were some fibers?!" tanya Bagas while putting a two-kilogram bag of rice into a cloth bag.

"More even Gas, the rest to be given to the orphaned foundation where Mang Aa used to be there" replied Sari

"Lo's family's a lot here, too?" ask Doni.

"Ehm, those from out of town didn't come yesterday. Mang Aa's death was enough to make everyone shocked Don, so they also had time to come." replied Sari again.

Sari was silent a lot today making Bagas and Doni a little worried. They gave each other codes to entertain Sari.

"Beib, how after this we have a holiday yuk? To the mountain and looking for fresh air to clean up the problem?!" Bagas fishing Sari to talk.

"Ehm, can. Where's where?"

" Eh, where is .. Don, you have no idea?" tanya Bagas to Doni who coolly tied the rope on a cloth bag.

"Lha Lo who mo ngajakin my. Am I being taught too?" ask Doni back.

"Yes, you're coming too! Said people are not good to be alone later the third there is a demon ngikut!" answer Bagas

Doni thought for a moment then bent his face, "Waaaah, severe Lo Gas! I dong the demon?!"

Sari laughed as she looked at Doni, "Basar Lola .. realized the last time!"

"Well that dong Sar, laughs will be more beautiful ... the more love love is?!" bagas Goda.

"So if it's not beautiful, isn't it love?"

"Eits is not so beb, beautiful is not from the face of the doang but his heart as well."

Sari laughed again forgetting the tension that was suffering. Bagas and Doni look at each other they are satisfied because their ignorance finally makes Sari laugh.

"Yuk, you want me to go ahead?" take Sari to the two of them.

"Tante, Sari wants to go to Mang Aa?!" pamitnya to Aunt Kurnia who is still busy making cakes with mom Adeline.

"Yes, who's there?" ask Aunt Kurnia.

"Obviously, it's Sari's bodyguard!" Sari raised her head towards Bagas and Doni.

Sari and her two best friends simply walk to the cemetery area opposite the house of Aunt Kurnia. Large trees that shade the burial area as if stretching its branches over hundreds of tombs that are there. 

Mang Aa tomb is located in the middle of the area adjacent to the tomb of Abah Ibrahim grandfather Sari. Mang Aa land mounds are still wet due to the rain that flushed the city of Cirebon this morning. The sow flowers that covered the top ground had already withered and dried up. 

Sari again sprinkled flowers and water from the bottle she bought at the front gate of the cemetery. Accompanied by his two best friends Sari squatted right on the right side of the tombstone bearing the name Mang Aa. Sari closed her eyes praying for her beloved uncle to be calm there.

Mang Aa's shadow as if present accompanied Sari on the other side. Mang Aa smiled, her hand touching Sari as if saying, "Thank you."

"Sar ..." Bagas broke Sari's daydream by touching her shoulder.

"Don't daydream at Sar's tomb, pamali?!" Doni reminded Sari.

"Yes, I'm just the same keingetan mang Aa." replied Sari, he again stood with the help of Bagas.

"Saying people if there are seven days his spirit is still in the house, the next seven days are outside the house" said Bagas 

"I heard it is also Gas." said Sari sudu while wiping the tombstone of mang Aa

Bagas and Doni take Sari away, Sari again stares at the wet mound with sow flowers on it.

Sari leaves tonight Mang, hopefully Sari can return safely …,
