I Love the Light
Chapter 71

Gilang and Cahaya went hand in hand to where their cars were parked. Just as Gilang was about to open the door, his phone rang a sign that someone was contacting him.

"Papa? why'd you call me?" muttered Gilang, while pressing the answer button.

"Hello, Pa!" sapa Gilang's.

"......." the look on Gilang's face changed immediately upon hearing the news that his father had just informed him.

"Yes, Pa, we're going home now" Gilang replied in a soft and weak voice. Then Gilang put his phone back in his pocket. The man's face was completely grim as it was covered in cloudy black clouds. This of course makes the Light curious.

"Mas, what's wrong with you? what did papa say?" tanya Light with eyebrows linked at once was-was.

"We go home now" said Gilang did not answer what was asked by the Light. The man as usual opened the door for his wife first, then he followed inside.

"Mas, you haven't answered me yet. Why did your face turn sad like that? what did papa say?" the Light is impatient.

Gilang spent his breath with a single blow and quite heavy.

"Yes, opa is dead" replied Gilang lirih.

"No way! You must be kidding, right? opa was still doing well this morning" Light shook his head in disbelief

Gilang closed his eyes briefly while running his car. "I'm not kidding, Aya. Papa opa said he fell because he got fertigo. The head of the opa hit and finally could not be saved anymore" said Gilang with dewy eyes holding back tears.

The light was unable to speak anymore. From both corners of his eyes, the crystal clear liquid granules finally dripped unstoppably again.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The mourners have now begun to return one by one to leave the Maheswara residence. Many people are seen grieving the passing of Ganendra Maheswara, the owner of The Sky Group. Especially the employees and former employees who have worked in the company.

"Ma, don't cry anymore!" persuade Jelita to Melinda, her mother-in-law, who looks devastated. Even the elderly woman fainted many times after doctors told her that her husband could no longer be saved.

"Why did your papa mama have to miss her own mama, Jelita? though mama used to want if mama wants to go first from your papa. But, your father always said that he wanted to go first, to prepare a place for us later in heaven there. Turns out your papa really went first," Melinda cried again.

"Ma, everything that breathes is certain to return to its creator, so when and wherever we must be prepared to lose. Now we pray that all his acts of worship will be received by the Lord" Jelita tried to comfort her mother-in-law, even though she was not sure of herself, will she be strong if her husband Gavin goes first to the Khalik. Because people sometimes say it easier than doing it.

Reyna who still has not moved home stepped closer to Oma Melinda, the woman who always supported her to provide comfort as well. At the same time the Light who also wanted to comfort Oma Melinda, undo her intention to get close for fear of heartache if later the grandmother of her husband, ignore her because there is Reyna.

The light turned around and wanted to return to where he had been. When she turned around, Gilang found her husband standing right in front of her.

"Why don't you go there?" Gilang frowned, asking for an explanation.

"There's already mama and Reyna, Mas. I don't think Oma will need me there anymore" replied Light accompanied by a smile. The smile that, if one sees more clearly, is a forced smile.

"It's okay, you go there again, because the more comfort Oma, I think Oma will be more calm," said Gilang.

The light bit his lips and finally turned back to approach the Oma.

"Oma, who is patient! later if Oma is still sad and crying, opa will be sad to see it," said Light, open the voice when the woman was already among 3 women of different ages in front of her.

"Thank you, yes, dear. You're all with Oma and you can make Oma no longer" Melinda said.

Melinda's smile only lasted for a moment. In the next instant, the woman's eyes squinted at the Light. This of course makes the Light feel uncomfortable and wonder in his heart, what is wrong with him.

"Light, looks like your face is pale, son. You better get in the room and rest. You take it easy, here is your mother-in-law and Reyna who accompany Oma," said Melinda, sincerely worried to see the pale face of Light.

"But, Oma ...." The light hangs his words.

"That's what you said, Aya. You should rest because it seems you are not healthy. Your face looks very pale, "Jelita chimed in the words of Melinda, her mother-in-law.

Meanwhile Reyna traversed the Light body from top to bottom. There was suspicion on the woman's eyes about the condition of Light's body right now. However, the woman did not want to be rash, because it was uncertain. Reyna is afraid that if her conjecture is wrong, it can make Melinda disappointed.

"I'd better come here tomorrow again to check, whether my guess is true or not" Reyna said.

Meanwhile, Light was a little disappointed to hear the words of Oma Melinda who asked him to leave, even though the woman asked him to rest. However, for some reason Light felt that his grandmother Gilang was driving him away in a subtle way.

"It's true that I said, if Oma doesn't need me here at all," the Inner Light tried to hold back the cries. The woman seemed to have completely misunderstood Oma Melinda's attitude.

"Good, Oma. I'll go first!" light with a light.

"You asked your husband to take you to the room" Melinda said again and Light just nodded his head.

"Why are you back?" Cross blocking the steps of Light.

"Oma asked me to rest. He said there was Reyna's mother and sister accompanying him," Light replied, still trying to keep smiling.

"So where are you going now?"

"I'm going to the room, Mom. I seemed to be feeling tired and needed some rest," replied Light uninspired.

Gilang squinted his eyes, staring at his wife's face intensely.

"You look pale, Aya. Let me take you to the room" said Gilang with a look of panic.

"No need, Mom. I can do it myself. It's not good if you leave a guest," reject the Light that tries to look strong in front of Gilang.

"Are you really up?" tanya Gilang made sure and Light nodded, assuring.

"Yes, be careful!" once again the Light nodded its head and passed away, climbing the stairs.

From far away, there were a pair of eyes staring at everything that happened to the Light from when the Light wanted to approach Melinda, but was preceded by Reyna, when the woman decided to stay close to Melinda, but asked to leave. The pair of eyes could immediately draw a conclusion, if Light seemed to feel rivaled and felt inappropriate when compared to Reyna.

"It seems like a pretty interesting thing. I also seemed to be able to take advantage of this situation," the corner of the lips of the owner of the eye, rose upwards, forming a sly smile.
