GIVE ME LOVE
CHAPTER 55. PILGRIMED

Seeing Lusy's view that shows his dislike makes Devani uncomfortable. He chose to walk behind Mahen, but Mahen who knew about it immediately pulled his arm and smiled.

"Come, please come in. You wait on the couch there yeah, I finish the job a little bit more and we go to the tomb, "said Mahen.

Devani also obeyed Mahen's words, he sat down while looking around, but when his eyes were fixed to a picture frame on Mahen's table his eyes were round, round, there was a picture of her with Annisa who was laughing.

Devani does not know, when Mahen took the photo, even he himself does not know if there is such a fose.

"You cheat, I don't know if there's a picture of me here and when you take that pose, why don't I remember!" ask Devani.

"When I started falling in love with you! Looking at Annisa and you are so happy to be able to laugh freely, I just realized my happiness is still there, only my heart has been closed all this time."

"Yes, but I'm ashamed of Hen."

"Shame on who? I see you here every day. Comehere! there's something I want to show you again" Mahen asked.

"Mahen opened his private room, then invited Devani in, there Devani was even more surprised, when he saw on the wall of the room, his photo was plastered so much with a variety of styles."

"Geez, you're just Hen, why are so many of my photos here, it's like a photo studio just filled your office."

"So that I remember, always and only you. At home I am with you, here too only you are with me."

"Are you not afraid to be said as the CEO of bucin later," said Devani.

"Bucin with his own wife is wrong?"

Devani simply smiled in response to Mahen's reply. Then he said, "Who's your job, Hen, let's go later mama and papa wait for us there too long" said Devani.

"Well, just a minute!"

Mahen went out of the room to meet Lusy and gave the file to him and said, "Lusy, clear my schedule for the next five days, if anything important you just call my phone," Mahen ordered.

"Where have you been on holiday for so long, sir?" ask Lusy kepo.

"Regulate the future," Mahen replied with a smile leaving Lusy's room.

Lusy was dumbstruck, he did not understand what his leader meant, but then he got up and chased after Mahen, "Sir, wait! Wait Sir!" lusy shouted but Mahen rushed into the elevator with Devani.

"Eh, is it possible that they will get married?" monologue Lusy.

"No! Oh, no! He's mine, Mr. Mahen should be mine, I won't let anyone have him, including the woman. I have to find out!" lusy said again.

Then Lusy called Gara, Mahen's friend who used to take his boss away to the nightclub.

"Hallo Gar! Can we meet after the office?" lusy asked as Gara picked up a phone call from him.

"What's wrong, Lus? Oh yeah, your boss lately how come he's never been seen, where is Lus? I called her number off too" asked Gara.

"How long has it been, my boss hasn't been there?" ask Lusy again.

"Nearly a month."

"I know Gar's the reason, must be because of the woman."

"What do you mean, Lus, Mahen already has another bustle."

"Let's see you later so it's good to talk" said Lusy.

"Okay, I'll wait in the usual place" said Gara and hung up.

While Mahen and Devani have arrived at the tomb, it turns out that both mama and papa, Annisa and Hans have arrived there. They were cleaning the tomb with a simple tool to clean the grass that is a mini wangkil or pacul.

Mahen and Devani helped clean the tomb, after which Mahen led a prayer, praying the late Devina together.

The prayer that Mahen reads is as follows:

Salute

Which means: "Assalamallaikum, where the believers reside. Has come to you the promise of Allah which was suspended tomorrow, and we God willing will follow you."

It means: "I ask for forgiveness from Allah the Greatest, whom there is no God but He the Most Alive, the Most Alone, and I repent to Him."

Reading Surah Al Fatihah

Reading a short surah such as

Al Ikhlas, Al Falaq, and An Naas

Reading tahlil's sentence

Which means: "There is no God but Allah.

Then Mahen read the pilgrimage prayer of the grave as a closing,

Which means: "O Allah, grant him forgiveness and mercy. Give him salvation and apologize to him. Give honor to him, expand his entrance. Bathe her with water, ice, and dew. Cleanse him from wrongdoing as You clean white clothes from dirt. Replace for him a better house than his house, a better wife than his wife. Put him into heaven, give him refuge from the torment of the grave and the torment of hell. Lay him in his grave and light him in it."

They shed tears when remembered late during his life. This pilgrimage reminds that all living things will die, sooner or later, just waiting for their turn.

All said hello to the sepulcher, then left the place to go home.

Mahen asks Hans to take his car home, as Mahen will drive Devani's car.

The two agreed to settle the business first, only to return home, while Annisa chose to go home with Eyang and Oma and Hans.

Mahen and Devani go to the cafe where the children and friends are waiting.

As promised Mahen has bought a set of musical instruments for the children and tomorrow the store will send them to the cafe.

They will also invite the children to come to the ceremony at the end of the marriage contract.

When they saw Mahen and Devani coming, the boys cheered, especially when they were told that tomorrow they could practice using a new tool.

Looking at the faces of the children, Mahen felt happy to share them. As the children swarm in Mahen, Nindi and Athar pull Devani's hand, they whisper about Bastian.

Devani is saddened to hear it, and then he tells his friend that he will see Bastian again before the race starts.

Mahen, who noticed a change in Devani's face, immediately left the children and approached her, asking, "What's the matter Van? Any issues?" ask Mahen.

"Bastian!"

"Why with him, not the race tonight?"

"At this time he was drinking with a thug who used to hang out at the crossroads there."

"You want us to go there?" ask Mahen.

"Are you going to take me there?"

"Come, we try to wake him up, because it has no benefit. Especially tonight, he's going to race. Does he want to die in vain" Mahen said.

Then Devani and Mahen say goodbye to the children and his friends, as they will be looking for Bastian.
