Being Married to My First Love
Funeral
After the funeral of her father and mother, Reyna sat pensively in her room, looking out the window. Now he doesn't know what to do after his father and mother are gone. He just found out that, it turns out that the hospital and funeral administration costs have all been taken care of by the father's old friend, Mr. Hadi Jaya. He and his wife were always with Reyna when her parents' funeral was held. Luckily his aunt from the village came before his parents' bodies were brought to be buried.
"Reyna, nduk sorry bibik late. Patient is Reyn! Yes, yes, nduk!" auntie Said.
Aunt Lastri hugged Reyna with tears. Aunt Lastri is my father-in-law's sister. She lives in the village with her husband and two children. Bi Lastri's husband, who is the father's younger brother, had a long illness, so he was unable to attend the father's funeral. Two of his children are still in school. Her first child Dina is still in High School and her second child Dino is still in Junior High School. Aunty became the backbone of the family. To support the needs of her family, aunty works at the diner every afternoon until night. Once every two weeks uncle wash blood at no small cost. For that father diligently send money every month to help his sister's medical expenses.
"Reyn, eat first!"
"From noon you haven't eaten or drunk. Take care of your health is important, Reyn."
"Sad can be, just don't overdo it. Crying may be but don't let it roar. No appetite for sure, but you have to keep eating to take care of yourself. If you don't want to eat, it's the same as beating yourself up." Auntie's advice is to persuade Reyna to eat.
Aunty went to the kitchen to get some food, then sat down next to Reyna with a plate filled with food. He bribed a spoonful of food into Reyna's mouth. Reyna finally opened her mouth.
"Thank you, Bi. Let Reyna continue to eat it alone Bi" said Reyna
Aunt smiled happily as she managed to persuade Reyna to eat
"Reyn, who were the two people sitting next to you at the funeral?"
"They're still out with Mr. RT greeting guests."
Aunt pointed out the door.
"Oh, they're Dad's best friends, Bi. They always accompany Reyna from the time she was in the hospital to take care of the hospital and funeral costs of father and mother" Reyna said.
"Alhamdulillah yes, Nduk. There are still good people helping you. Aunty feels useless not being able to repay the kindness of your mother's father, Reyn." said Auntie
Aunty clasped Reyna's hand while shedding tears.
"No Bi! With the presence of Aunt Reyna was very grateful. Aunt is the only family I have now." Reyna rubbed the back of Aunt's hand.
"Take your meal after that we meet them, Reyn! Aunty wants to thank them." Aunty said.
Reyna nodded and immediately finished her meal.
"Sir, Mom, meet me Aunt Reyna."
Bibi greeted the three people in front of her.
"I'm so grateful for your kindness to our family." Aunt clenched her hands together with a smile.
"Sama-sama Ma'am. I am Hadi Jaya and this is my wife Kinasih. Herman was a very helpful person to take care of me when I was sick for years. It's nothing compared to her patience taking care of me until I'm healed" Grandpa said.
"According to my promise to her father on the eve of her death, I will take care of Reyna and pay for her studies. Please allow me to trust Reyna to us." she continued.
The grandfather spoke while looking at Reyna and Aunt in turn.
Aunt did not answer. Aunty looked at Reyna as if asking Reyna for an answer.
Reyna just looked down sad not knowing how. Because after the death of his parents suddenly caused him only a kara because only an only child. His mother was an orphan who had lived in an orphanage since childhood. My father's parents died a few years ago. His only siblings are his Uncle and Aunt. However, it is not possible for Reyna to live with her aunt.
With Uncle being sick, they were already living with all the flaws. Now plus his father died so no one helped Uncle's medical expenses.
"Son, don't bother us. We sincerely want to make you our granddaughter."
Grandma Kinasih approached and touched Reyna's shoulder lovingly. Implied smile on his lips that began to wrinkle but still beautiful and charming.
Reyna looked at her aunt. Aunt nodded her approval sign.
"Thank you, Bu. You have helped me a lot" Reyna said.
They hugged haru.
"We'll go home first, son. Tomorrow Grandpa's driver will pick you up." said Grandpa.
Reyna nodded in agreement. After they all died, now only Reyna and her aunt are left at home.
