Call Me a Rose
Chapter 62

Diara felt a deep sense of sadness when she saw Ms. Rusmini exhaling her last breath. His heart was saddened to see the old woman struggling alone until her last breath. The nurse then helped cover the blanket to cover Ms. Rusmini's face.

Innalillahi wa innaillaihi raji.

One more soul has passed away. It is still recorded clearly in Diara's memory of how Mama breathed her last breath. And now Diara had to go back to witness similar events before his eyes. How, real humans just wait their turn to face death.

She wiped away the tears and strengthened her heart. After all, he was the only person responsible for Ms. Rusmini's body at the moment. For a moment Diara consulted with the nurses about the procedures for the management and return of the body at the hospital. Finally Diara decided to use the services of the management of the body that had collaborated with the hospital. Of course for that Diara had to add a nominal amount. But at least everything will be well taken care of, from bathing, to memorizing, to funerals. Until Diara no longer had to worry.

Diara finally decides to go to the house where Arya and her mother live to report the death of Ms. Rusmini to the neighbors. The funeral will be held tomorrow morning. She finally decided to go home first that night.

So many things are happening today and all beyond his expectations. Diara was feeling very tired. Diara cleans up and forces to eat a little. Before then Diara started to close her eyes. He must rest, because tomorrow there is still a long day waiting for him.

The next day, Diara woke up early. Diara immediately rushed to the hospital to ensure the repatriation of the body to be carried out this morning. After that Diara went to Arya's house. It turned out that there the neighbors had gathered and the tents had been set up. Ms. Rusmini was known as a kind and friendly person by the neighbors, so the news of her death invited sympathies from the neighbors. And especially because Arya, Bu Rusmini's only child is still in prison.

Diara is coordinating with local RT managers, making sure all the needs for mourners and funeral processions are ready.

Not long after the ambulance came carrying the body of Ms. Rusmini. The neighbors greeted him with great joy. No relatives, relatives, or family. Because Ms. Rusmini is only living with her children only wayangnya overseas.

She took all the photos in each procession. Maybe later Diara can tell and tell Arya. Somehow destroyed Arya's heart later if she knew her mother died alone.

And somehow Diara actually sent a message to Jelita to tell the news of this grief. In her heart, Diara wondered, would Jelita be content to know that what she wanted had been achieved?

Diara followed all the funeral processions through to completion. The body went into the pit and the tomb was covered. Prayers were chanted by mourners, accompanying the departure of the body to its final resting place. Finally another journey of the human child has ended. What comes from the ground has returned to the ground.

Diara waited until the end, making sure himself that the funeral procession had gone as it should. At least he has done what he is entrusted with. One by one the mourners left the burial area, as well as the funeral attendants.

Diara stepped his foot away from the still wet tomb. Suddenly someone approached and hugged him tightly.

She looked at Jelita.

"What is your wish achieved, are you satisfied now?"
