DAMNED GIRL
24. CONTRITION

Grandma was immediately buried right next to Grandpa's grave, even this was the first time I touched Grandpa's grave.

I was still crying in front of the mound that was stuck in a cross decorated with flowers.

My heart is still broken, it feels like I want to catch up with Grandma.

Grandma's mourners were already quiet, but I was still crying while hugging Grandma's body that had become the ground.

While Bu Nina was still faithfully accompanying me, she hugged me from behind as if giving me one more strength

"Iklasin yes, Dhira. Grandma is healed" he said

But the more I cried, the more I felt it was my stupid mistake. If only from the beginning I had been honest with Ms. Nina, maybe Grandma had been cured for a long time because surely Ms. Nina would have helped take care of her

Ms. Nina gently stroked my hair "Cloak, we go home. The sky was already dark" he asked as he slowly pulled my hand

But I threw away his hand and still continued to cry with my face sticking together with the ground

"I don't want to go home, I want to be here" I said

"Don't, I can't. Dhira has to go home. Come on, go home to Bu Nina aja yuk. Stay with Mira" he persuaded

I refused and kept holding on to Grandma's grave

"Wouldn't. Don't want to !" resolutely

"Dhira can't be like this, Dhira has to go home so Grandma doesn't feel sad there" he said

"Don't want to !" say it again

"Grandmother is happy, Grandma has met Grandpa. If Dhira loves Grandma and Grandpa. Dhira must pray a lot for them so that there they are happier" he said

Hearing her the sound of my crying momentarily stopped, I suddenly imagined Grandma meeting Grandpa and they were happy without any more pain.

Miss Nina who was convinced that I was calmer than before finally changed my position to face her face

He smiled and removed the ground that was on my face.

"We go home yuk" he asked

I looked at her but still cried without a sound.

Ms. Nina wiped my tears and led me back home with her.

Arriving at Bu Nina's house the sky was dark, just to get to the door I was immediately welcomed by Mira and her father

Mira came up to me and hugged me "Dhira"

Then invited me to sit with his parents in the guest room, I really was considered like part of his family.

Father Mira gently served me bread and milk "It's eaten huh Dhira" he said as he placed it on the floor right in front of me

I just nodded

"Dhira's mother did she come ?" ask Mira's father to me

But it was Bu Nina who replied from inside her stall

"None of his family came, I don't know where to go" he replied

Mira's father looked at me pitying "Ooh, so how about that problem ?"

"Where do I know, at most if for example the Bayu or the Danu will come and only know his mother died, it could be they are fighting for treasure, the Lasmi is also at most the same. They wouldn't care about Dhira. It's hard to face the same person but his brain from the shrimp brain" said Bu Nina from afar

Mira's father immediately broke the words of Bu Nina "Heh, by the way can't be so !" emphatically

"Yes, I ended up with them, not being out of thought with their behavior, so I just can't think" he regretted

"Yes do not think about it, the important thing is to focus on Dhira aja" said her husband

Miss Nina finally kept quiet

"Dhira, if you want to stay here for a while. While waiting for your mother to pick you up" persuaded Mira's father

I happily nodded quickly "Yes"

"Where is the key to Dhira's house ? let me have the key now"

"At home sir, always tackling the door" I replied

"Yes, I'm allowed there. Lock the door to his house first. For a while Dhira calmed down first here" he said as he rushed to Grandma's house

"Yes, sir" I said

After arriving at Grandma's house which is still plugged in a yellow flag, the condition of the lights does not turn on so that the front of the house until it is very dark and the door is also wide open.

When you want to step home heard from far away the sound of the motorbike, the lights also highlighted right into the face of Mira's father.

Mira's father turned his head then immediately knew that apparently the owner of the old motorcycle, Mr. RT who finally stopped in front of him

Quickly Mira's father greeted her

"Night Mr. RT" he said

"Night Sir" replied Mr. RT

"Where did you come from ?" ask Mirae's father just a stale base

"Exit from the front, buy food for children" he replied

Mira's father nodded "Oh so"

"Yes, Sir. I want to talk about the owner of this house but I hang out at the stall Mr aja yes because if it's not good here too ?" heed

"Oh, you may sir. But what do you want to talk about ? because in my house there is also his grandson Almarhumah"

"Oh, at home there's his granddaughter too. I think his mother brought him"

"Walaaah, my wife said her mother didn't come"

"Wow, what a pity yes" pity Mr. RT

"Yes, that's why" Mira's father said

"Yes sir, come with my bike. All of us to the stall Mr" take Mr. RT

Without rejecting it Mira's father just went up on the motorcycle Pak RT

Arriving at the stall, Mr. RT immediately sat down in the chair and ordered coffee to Bu Nina who was in the stall.

"Message me a cup of coffee" he said

Ms. Nina realized that the person who ordered was Mr. RT

"Sir RT, Mr. Tumben" said Bu Nina as she rushed to make it

Mr. RT just smiled

Then Mira's father also sat next to Mr. RT, because as planned from the beginning if Mr. RT would discuss the death of Grandma that was considered awkward for him

And really, Mr. RT directly discussed it

"So that afternoon I had thought while serving the late house" said Mr. RT while opening a chat

"Why is it Sir ?" ask Mira's father

"I heard from some residents, the old house is not visible but his grandson said that the house is not at home"

Hearing him Mira's father was a little surprised also because frankly, as he remembered also according to the story of his wife is true so.

"Yes right sir, Dhira said his Grandma was not at home all this time but knew Dhira appeared to report that his Grandmother died. But where's the fault, sir ?" ask Mira's father

"Well, look. When the Almarhumah was found it was in terrible condition. Being in a room with a physical that has been very thin to the bone and his legs are swollen almost rotten" explained Mr. RT

At the same time Bu Nina placed a coffee order Pak RT in front of him

Nina's mother also agreed with the words of Mr. RT who became the main witness of all the stories of Grandmother's death

"That's right, sir. I saw it for myself" said Ms. Nina

Mr. RT continued again "Well, this is me so astonished. Did her grandson purposely hide her ailing Grandma or how ?" guess it

Mira and Bu Nina's father look at each other but Mira's father tries to think positively

"I don't really understand the point either" Mira's father said

But Mr. RT had other thoughts

,, "Is not Lasmi the mastermind of all this. He deliberately let his mother get sick by forcing Dhira to shut up so that her mother died and could rule the house. Because until now I heard he was married again" he guessed

Ms. Nina is not much of a talk, but Mira's father still does not agree with Mr. RT's analysis

"It could be sir, but it seems like my guess is not strong"

"Why ?" ask Mr. RT

"Because until now Dhira did not tell anything about it" said Mira's father
