Call Me a Rose
Chapter 46

Since hearing the news that Mama Diara was sick, Jelita promised to see him soon. But whatever the power, the work seems to unceasingly hold it and take up its time. Diara's absence in the office, in addition to the company's recovery due to Gunawan's work, made Jelita's work multiplied. Not to mention the problem of Gunawan's legal case and Arya who inevitably also seized his attention. Be unintentional, Jelita always delays to visit Mama Diara.

Until finally, that afternoon at lunchtime, Jelita finally took the time to go to the hospital where Mama Diara was treated. But apparently, the officer who was on guard said that Lady Diana, Mama Diara had come home since.

Jelita finally decided to go to Diara's house. Jelita did not expect at all, that upon arrival there he was greeted with a tent title and chairs lined up, as well as a white flag which is a sign.

Innalillahi wa inna ilaihi raji.

It's deja vu. Jelita's mind drifted on the death of her parents, followed by news of her sister's death. Jelita realized, how real man is just waiting his turn to face Him.

Jelita strengthened her shaky steps, then walked in looking for Diara to convey her condolences.

Jelita discovers that Diara is among her family. Jelita approached them, then greeted them all while expressing her condolences. All of Diara's family greeted her kindly despite the apparent sadness on their faces. Except for Diara who just shook her hand and then turned to leave her. That's when Jelita just realized, he had made a big mistake. He did not provide any support and was not beside Diara, when his best friend was facing disaster. Though all this time Diara is one of the people who always by his side even has a very important role in the progress of his company.

Jelita does not care anymore on the affairs of the office as well as the telephone that bertubi into his phone. Currently Jelita wants to focus on being in that place even though Diara no longer cares about it. For Jelita, Mama Diara is no one else. Mama Diara cares about her when she finds out she has a kara. Mama Diara once said that she could come anytime to her house. And may think like her own mother if Jelita wills.

Jelita remained there with Mr. Bin, sitting waiting with the other mourners who came and went.

Until the time comes, the body will be taken to the cemetery. Jelita and Mr. Bin followed the motorcade behind.

Jelita followed all the funeral processions solemnly. From where she stood Jelita could see how much Diara was devastated by the departure of Mama.

Until then the funeral procession has ended, and one by one mourners leave the cemetery area, leaving only the nuclear family. Then Papa Diara left first. Then followed Sis Tomi's family with her children who began to cry. Until the rest of Diara sat down alone in front of the soil of his mother's grave is still wet.

Jelita stepped closer, venturing down beside her best friend. Jelita helped make prayers for Mama Diara. As Jelita looked to the side, her gaze met with Diara's gaze. Jelita hugged her best friend.

"I'm sorry Di, I haven't had time to look at Mama lo kemaren..."

There was no response from Diara. But her cries then broke in Jelita's arms. Diara cried until sobbing expressed sadness and his loss would be the departure of the mother.
