Handsome Ghost (Medium in Revision)
"To the home of the future in-laws?"
Lia stared at the wet ground of the grave where Andra's last mission with blank eyes, Andra's body buried in the cemetery owned by the family. Sifa's body was buried in a public cemetery. At least now the feeling of Lia a little relieved and slowly he began to be able to accept everything that happened, he realized that he should not be selfish and forced the will.
"Thank you for bringing me here after Sifa's funeral, at least my longing has been taken care of." said Lia opening her voice as quietly as possible, then turning to Andres with a faint smile.
Andres nodded softly, returning Lia's grim smile."Are you all right?"andres asked with a worried look.
"Sure, I'm fine,"Lia tried to smile again and tried to strengthen her fragile heart.
"Li, thank you." said Andres while holding both shoulders so that the two of them faced each other.
"Thank you for what, Andres?"ask Lia not understand.
"For everything, including helping solve this murder case. My papi is feeling very calm now, maybe even Andra is much calmer there too. It's all thanks to you, you're a brave little girl." Andres looked Lia in the eyes with pride.
Lia smiled."No Andres, I'm not that brave. It's just that maybe I'm lucky to survive, and of course that's for the cooperation of both of us Andres. We managed to crack the case, not just because of me."
"You moved me first, Li. I didn't even know anything about the real cause of Andra's death, and we couldn't do anything about it to solve Andra's awkward death."
"Andra entrusted it to me, before I hesitated to do it."sahut Lia while looking at the grave of Andra while smiling, then looking back at Andres."You know, now I'm a lot more sincere about letting Andra go. Although I was terrified at first of losing her."
"Thank God, Li. Trust me, if you're happy Andra will be happy there too." Andres smiled.
Lia turned her head again to Andra's grave, then she squatted gently rubbing the tombstone. A drop of tear fell, then he quickly wiped it off and tried to develop a smile so that he could be much stronger.
As Lia turned her eyes to the left, she saw the tombstone of Andra's mother named Raisa. So he stood up to the grave.
Lia squatted down, then both her hands opened to pray for Andra's mother with her eyes closed, then rubbed the tombstone gently.
"You recognize my mother?"andres asked after he approached Lia and crouched down beside her.
Lia nodded slowly."We met once," he replied.
"Well, are you serious?"andres asked as if he had not believed Lia's words just now.
"Since I wanted to know about Andra, I came to your house" Lia replied as she looked at Andres's face.
"It's a shame we didn't meet, Li."Andres laughed crisply.
"I don't think you were created on this earth with a face similar to Andra's" Lia teased with a light laugh.
"You're this, you're hurting me?"andres's hand immediately stretched out rubbing Lia's hair quickly while laughing.
"Not being sneered at, I'm just insinuating."Lia laughed as she pushed softly on Andres' shoulder. If Andres' defense is not strong maybe he will fall, for only he can maintain balance.
"Just the same," Andres' comment tore apart, while Lia just laughed.
"Where are we going?"lia asked a little screamed because her voice was almost drowned by the roar of the motorbike engine, as well as the sound of other vehicles whose voice was loud on the highway.
"Later you'll know," said Andres, making Lia's lips spontaneously pursed.
"But I want to know now!"lia said in a curious tone.
"If I tell you now, it will not be a surprise anymore" said Andres who made Lia squash with anxiety, because Andres did not want to tell him at all.
Andres drove his motorcycle up at a moderate pace, while he tried to calm his pounding heartbeat. ****, Andres feels now he is starting to have difficulty to expel the conscious smile that was attached to his lips. It felt so strange, he was talking to Lia with a different feeling but it felt fun.
The wind was blowing quite fiercely, so that Lia's unraveling hair shook. He made Lia tuck her hair behind her ears several times.
"Li, are you surprised? I'm sorry" Andres said in a slightly panicked tone as he glanced at Lia, then continued on.
"I'm fine, why is there a madman roaming the streets, anyway?"Lia snorted bitterly then she took off her embrace for a moment.
"I don't know" Andres said, laughing.
"Ah, I think I know where you want to take me." said Lia realized something, which made Andres smile wryly while looking at Lia's face from the turret.
"Oh, really?"
"You're taking me to your house, aren't you?"
Andres nodded."Yup, you're right."
"What event is there?"ask Lia curious.
"Nothing" answered Andres short.
"Then?"
"But I want to see you."
"Well, seriously?"
"What am I lying about,"
"But, but I'm embarrassed."a squeak that made Andres laugh for a moment, as if Lia's words just sounded really funny in his ear.
"There's no shame, you're wearing a shirt, right?"
Lia clucked in annoyance."Shame doesn't mean no clothes,"
"When you were in the hospital, you seemed calm when you met my papi,"
"Ah, but it's different.it's in the hospital, if you meet your Papi at your house immediately it must feel different." said Lia with a fast racing heartbeat.
"Just the same, Li."sahut Andres chuckled at Lia's expression which turned frantic.
"Why didn't you tell me from the beginning, of course I will prepare my mentality first. Ah, why does it feel like it's going to be introduced to in-laws, anyway."Lia took a deep breath and looked so agitated.
"Indeed," Andres let out a small laugh.
"But unfortunately Andra is gone in this world, if he is still alive maybe I will be so enthusiastic when I will be introduced to your Papi" said Lia who made Andres smile.
"There's me, Li." it was Andres who suddenly made Lia instantly speechless for a moment.
"Aish, you're this."Lia slapped Andres' back while Andres just laughed.
"I can't wait to get there. Li, hold my waist tight if you don't want to fall down, I'm going to push my bike fast."Andres gave a warning that made Lia gasp for a moment.
"Andres.."creaming Lia who made Andres immediately laughed crazily, seeing Lia who turned panicked.
Lia immediately hugged Andres' waist firmly after Andres charged the gas in a slightly fast speed. Andres looked over and smiled widely.
