DRAGON CARVED JADE BRACELET
Chapter 127: THE CASKET OF A DEAD BODY FALLS

    That morning, about nine in the morning. In the funeral home where the burial of the corpse of Kecik, the ceremony has begun to release the body. Room's full. Until it reaches the parking lot. Especially Majapahit High School kids who are on oversized gray white uniforms. All students in class with Kecik came all to release the departure of the corpse which was planned to be cremated. Coupled with students from other classes and teachers who attended the funeral ceremony.

    Not to be missed, Lusi who carries a dustel camera, will photograph the ceremony of the departure of his friend's body. Later, the photos will be the last memories with his friends who are now gone.

    The ceremony was led by a priest, in religious ordinances according to the beliefs held by the Kecik family. Because the parents of Kecik and his family adhered to the Christian belief, the ceremony was carried out with Christian customs. Starting from the praises, offering offerings to God sung by the congregation from the Kecik family worship place. The songs sounded heartbreaking. Makes sad for the person who permeates his verse. Yeah, course. His name is praise in a show of sorrow. Long enough the compliment was given.

    After the compliments, there was a man wearing a full suit, leading the prayer. Maybe the man was a shepherd's maid. Of course, his prayer sounds sad too. Sadness over the loss of the church. Sad that one of the sheep has gone home. Not only did the man who led the prayer offer a plea for forgiveness of sins for the sheep he had been called, but the congregation who prayed also repeatedly asked for forgiveness of sins. With sad words of course.

    Furthermore, after the prayer is guaranteed, a priest with a large high body who wears a suit and tie, but his neck is slinged with a kind of small scarf, if the Batak people may be some kind of ulos, or more accurately called a scarf. The priest stood in front of a microphon attached close to a closed coffin. The pastor gave a sermon. In the Christian's death ceremony, this sermon is the crux of his holiness.

    "Mahr .... May the peace of Christ be with all of us, especially for families who are currently grieving. Do not grieve, for the promise of God will be fulfilled ..." so early was the sermon of the pastor.

    The worshippers who attended the ceremony, as well as the mourners present, listened to the sermon of the pastor.

    "In the book of Cyrentus, the Apostle Paul assures all of us that: God prepared a place in heaven .… Likewise John says in the first fourteen verses of the Gospel of John, it says that in the house of the Father there are many dwellings. So, don't be sad. Because this child .... Our dead brother, has been prepared by God. Let us not worry about how this child ..." so the pastor delivered his sermon.

    "Aamiin ..." The congregation agreed.

     "In purgatory, known as purgatory, it teaches that all who die in peace with the church, he will undergo purification in a certain period of time and place known as purgatory. During this time of tribulation they had the comfort that one day their torment would end, and after that they would enter into heaven. Calm down, my brother, you will go to heaven ...! Understand that death is just 'Soul Sleep'. Sleep tight. The soul of a deceased person is simply in a state of deep sleep, unconscious, without knowledge and activities. In time, he will be awakened until the resurrection of the body. The love of God is so great and so real that it is evidenced by giving His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, to be the guarantee and the result of the salvation of the sinful man who received His Love, those who believe in Him. For whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." so the sermon of the pastor, who assures his family, that the Kecik shall be saved by God.

    The sermon is over. The congregation that had been sitting listening to the sermon, now stood up and sang the praises again. And then, the departure of the body to cremation began to be aired.

    The hearse is already in front of the door of the funeral home room. The back door of the hearse was opened. Signs of the coffin will soon be inserted and raised by a hearse from the death foundation service.

    Four men wearing blue uniforms, written by the Budi Kasih Death Foundation, prepared to lift the coffin. The people came in, wanting to watch the body being raptured. Including children in gray and white uniforms, children from Majapahit High School, classmates Kecik, join docking and ready to help if needed.

    Not to be left behind, Lusi, who was carrying a camera, ran to and fro, to photograph the procession of the death ceremony. Although from the death foundation there is a professional photographer, which has been included in the death service package, but Lusi certainly wants to capture the event, at least for the mementos of friends and schools.

    However, again, Lusi was surprised by the presence of the girl he met last night in the place of Cung Kek and Prendes. The girl who was bullied last night by her friends. And this time, the girl is also at the place of the ceremony of the departure of the corpse of Kecik. But the girl he saw last night wearing jean pants and a jacket is now wearing a high school uniform. Just like his friends wear.

    Lucia's heart was beating fast. As if he wanted to quit because of his fear. Hand trembling. Even his mouth could not be opened to speak. Only his eyes could still look at the girl.

    Knowing that his friend was silent, Tji Wi approached Lusi, patting him on the shoulder. Lusi terjekang so surprised.

    "Thank ...!!!" Susi who was shocked immediately pinched Tji Wi's arm.

    "Ngapain bengong so ...?!" tanya Tji Wi's.

    "Huh ...?! Hiya .... Quickly photographed .... That's not our friend .... It was not a child of Majapahit High School ..." said Tji Wi who already understood what Lusi said.

    Lucia according to her friend's words. He immediately photographed. Especially when four officers from the death foundation began to lift the coffin, Lusi also took pictures. And it must also be about the girl in the high school uniform who is now right behind the raised coffin.

    But suddenly, as Lusi was clenching with his camera lens, the girl suspected by Lusi, who was standing behind the coffin, suddenly pulled the chest that was carried on the shoulders of the officers.

    "Awas ..., beware ..., awassss .......!!!" Luci screams a warning to the bearer.

    "Globraghk ......!!!" the bearded coffin collapsed, falling to the floor.

    Four men in charge of carrying slammed the title on the floor. Spontaneous people who skimmed instantly swarmed in to help. There are those who help the bearer of the casket that is called, some also save the casket that fell earlier. People helped lift. A lot of people of course. Lifting the crate to put in the hearse.

    "What's up ...?! How to fall it, you know ..." asked the funeral car driver to his partner who dropped the coffin.

    "I don't know .... Suddenly the box became heavy .... I guess it was removed by the back ..." said two people who were carrying the front.

    "No ...!!! We are not releasing .... It is precisely you who are not able to lift ...!!" refute the bearer on the back.

    "Have ..., don't make a fuss ....  Let's get laid soon .... It's been helped by the mourners" said the driver, who asked his men to be alert and immediately take responsibility for his work.

    The bearers of the coffin went straight to the car to organize. And of course directly arrange who will enter the hearse. Especially the family.

    "What's the matter, Lus ...? How did you get to scream so ...?" ask his friends who are surprised and surprised.

    "The girl .... Where is the girl ...?! He's the one who pulled and took the Kecik coffin." said Susi who was still confused.

    "Who's girl ...? Who holds the coffin of Kecik ...?" ask friends.

    "Tadi .... Yes, that girl had pulled the box Kecik .... That's why it carries on falling." said Lusi again, explaining things that his friends did not see.

    "Yes, I also saw the girl ..." said Tji Wi who did not want to make Lusi a target of astonishment of his friends.

    "Now where is the girl ...?!" ask friends.

    Lusi. Looking for the girl who dropped the coffin. But I did not find the girl. So did Tji Wi, who was looking around. Even out of the building. But also did not find the strange girl he had already seen in the three places. At the burial place of the bodies of his friends. They could only be confused by the events he saw.
