This is where Stella is located, precisely in an elite cemetery in the city center. Stella stared at the row of mounds of land overgrown with Japanese grass that had been cut neatly.
"They're there" Stello said, pointing forward.
The reason, Stella took the time to stop for a moment to look at the mound of land that already has a sign of each name.
Stella was glued in place. "Are they gone before I met them?" ask Stella lirih.
There are disappointments that try to be removed, there are sad who try to hide, and there are empty in the heart when they know that both parents have gone home.
There was no sound of Stello being beside Stella. He was just as sad when his parents left at a young age. They died when Stello was seventeen.
Stello led Stella so that her twin would continue. With a step dragged, Stella finally followed her twin steps.
Not long after, Stello's steps stopped at two mounds lined up and bearing the names of two people who allegedly were his parents. There are also photos of them at their final resting place. Photos with a smile pose and wearing formal clothes.
"Our parents have rested quietly and are staying here" said Stello trembling. Then, he took a squatting position next to the mound which was immediately followed by Stella.
Stella stared at the pus of the mound of earth before her. She already knows how her parents look because Ben's grandfather told her.
Stella's tears fell. Not yet had he felt the affection of father and mother, he had to accept the fact that again the world did not side with him.
Until whenever Stella will not feel it because her parents were gone before Stella could talk or dutiful to both.
After being stuck in place. "Why is it always like this?" stella asked, questioning the situation.
Stello breathed a tired sigh. "They died because there was no accident. Don't ever assume Mama and Papa aren't looking for you. There's not a day they've missed without finding information about your whereabouts" Stello said, sobbing.
Stuffy. Stella felt her chest so claustrophobic hearing the fact that her parents were already trying to find her.
Stella thought her first meeting with her parents and family would be blue. In fact, there were only tears when Stella found out who her biological family was.
"I haven't had time to feel the affection of Mama and Papa," Stella said stuck, her tongue felt like there was a big new blocking her voice.
Stello rubbed Stella's arm. "They love you very much. They say your name every day. In fact, every time they would eat, whether breakfast, lunch, and dinner, they always prepared empty dishes with rice and side dishes. Ye know? It's done mama so that you are not forgotten even though it has disappeared for many years," said Stello laugh at his past memories.
Stella felt full and sliced at the same time. It is not only him who suffers. My mom and dad both suffered.
Stello's gaze was fixed on two mounds of land bearing the names of his father and mother.
"They also gave empty chairs and should not be sat by anyone at the dining table. And what makes me most sad, Mama always talks to herself as if she's talking to you at the dinner table," Stello said again, which made Stella's cries unstoppable. He was stuck in place.
"Mirror ... Eat, Son. You have to keep eating and you will grow up and meet Mama" Stello said, mimicking what his mother said in the past.
"Mama always said that before she ate her own food. I felt less noticed at the time by Mama. But papa always reminded me that Mama was just grieving. At that time I was only five years old and was forced to understand the circumstances of Mama," Stello said again that made Stella overwhelmed with guilt.
"So it's all because of me?" stella asked sounding disappointed and unable to look into her twin eyes.
Stello laughed bitterly. "It's not like that I mean. You are innocent in this. It's circumstances that force us all to accept what has happened, and unfortunately, Mama can't accept well the fate that is determined" Stello then stroked the top of Stella's head.
Stella immediately hugged the sister who was only a few minutes away from her. Stella spilled all her tears on the chest of Stello's field.
Stella's cry grew even more unguided as Stello gave a gentle swipe at her head and peaked her peak several times. Hugs like this are so much that Stella craved a long time ago.
"Don't cry anymore. Let's go all together. Let's face the world by holding hands and strengthening each other. We should be able to make Grandpa happy. Because of the effort that grandfather did, we were found. Grandfather loves us so much" said Stello increasingly tightened his embrace on the sister.

Elsewhere, Shaka is shocked to find Stella's resignation letter. In fact, Stella resigned without bothering to visit the office. Just through Ana, he left her a letter.
Shaka grabbed her rough hair. As his relationship with Papa and Gavin improves, his relationship with Stella is now strained. "Have I gone too far? Didn't Gavin sudhs explain everything that his encounter with Stella was unintentional?" the monologue Shaka was frustrated.
Shaka's daydream gasps when the door of his room opens. Ron came up with a disheveled appearance and both of his hands carried a stack of so many files.
"Boss. You have to sign all of this" Ron said in a desperate tone and sounded tired.
Shaka exhaled his coarse breath. "Alright, Ron. Looks like I'll have to finish everything one-on-one."
"Including Boss and Stella's relationship" said Ron with a look without sin.
Shaka's movements that would take the pen finally came to a halt. He looked at Ron who was currently staring at him as well.
"Why? Isn't there nothing wrong with me?" ron asked curiously because Shaka was looking at him flat.
Do I have to go to Stella again?" shaka asked so foolishly.
Ron snorted and took a seat in the chair opposite Shaka. "Of course it should be, boss. Moreover, Stella had already sent a letter of resignation. You better meet up soon and have a good talk" suggested Ron who was justified by Shaka.
"Will Stella talk to me after this?" shaka asked as if he was convincing himself.
Ron exhaled a rough breath. Blind jealousy made his intelligent Boss turn into a fool in a few days. "Try first, Boss," said Ron emphasizing his sentence.
'I am tired of having to work day and night to replace you who are heartbroken, ' Ron continued his words.
For days, Shaka's job was taken over by Ron. As for Shaka, he would just sit in his big chair then hold his chin up and daydream until lunchtime arrived.
After lunch is over, Shaka will resume her daydreaming session which was delayed. Ron was tired of the attitude of his Boss who became a lazy man but remained rich. Ron laughed to himself inwardly remembering all that.
