"Mrs....!"
The cry of a stranger was heard in Ellard's ear. The middle-aged man looked over. And there he saw his son-in-law, Adam. The man was standing staring at the crowd of mourners who one by one began to leave after greeting the father.
The man who was Luna's husband looked limp with my face. He even dropped the bag in his hand.
On the way, Adam's mind was already agitated. Because he did not get a definite answer to his mother's condition from the hospital.
It's like they're all hiding it. Maybe because you don't want anything to happen with Adam on the way, or maybe for some other reason. I don't know.
Adam walked without energy. His shoulders sag and his eyes are red. The blond man immediately hugged his father from behind as soon as he got near him.
"Mama has calmed down" said Sebastian. It is as if he is strengthening the child. But what really happened, he wanted to calm himself. She still can't believe Lilyana left that fast. Even the last time he met his wife was bad, because of their quarrel about Kylie.
"Why did it happen, Pa? Didn't Mama get the best treatment?" Adam still had a rejection. Honestly his heart could not accept the reality even though it was in front of his eyes.
"Don't doubt your wife. It's still good when you cheat it!" Sebastian's words were slow but pierced right into Adam's chest.
His son asked the wrong thing in the atmosphere of mourning for the loss of the mother.
Sebastian is left with Adam who questions what Luna did for Lilyana. While the son himself was not able to spend a penny for his mother.
"Sorry." Adam looked down, but a moment later he asked again.
"Where is Luna?" Adam dyed and even only found Ellard and Aglen who were in the last and last row. Both of them were wearing sunglasses and didn't seem to care.
"You still dare to ask?" Although slow, but Sebastian's answer hints at his dislike.
The man immediately moved from near the child who was even busy with his business despite being present at the funeral of the mother.
Sebastian's approaching Ellard. Thank you for taking his wife to her final resting place. Of course it was for what Luna had done for her to the end of life. After that, Ellard went home with Aglen.
"Pa, Brother!" call Adam to the two men.
They actually refused to meet Adam. But Ellard decided to stop, and Aglen followed.
"Thank you for coming" said Adam. The man stretched out his hand to shake the two.
Only Ellard won it. As for Aglen, the man hid both his hands in his pocket. Not long after, he signaled to his father. If he wanted to wait in the car. Even when he left, Aglen did not greet his sister-in-law at all.
"Emc ... Pa, i_"
ellard patted lightly on the daughter-in-law's shoulder. "I am so sorry for your mother's passing. For more, we'll talk about it later."
The middle-aged man left Adam to listen to his father-in-law.
Adam really couldn't put himself in there.

"El, where are you going?"
Luna was astonished to see that her little princess was even tidy that afternoon. He only took a shower for a while and when he came out, Elea was waiting for him.
"Said Oma, we will visit Uncle Stefan," replied Elea who showed her smile that was getting more and more similar to her biological father.
"Yes, but why did El bring ice cream too?" ask Luna who feels strange.
The little princess brought a small box of ice cream and ice packs to keep the ice cream from melting.
"I'll take Uncle Stefan for ice cream, Ma. Like before, Uncle must be happy," replied Elea as she opened and closed the box on her lap.
Every now and then the little girl smiled looking at the row of ice cream that was counted and peeked at many times.
When she finished, she took Elea down. Apparently the uncle, William had come home from his office.
"Uncle...." Luna approached, lightly hugging the man like her father. The difference is, William's posture is only slightly higher than Ellard.
"Uncle does not welcome you. Hello, Sweetheart. Can Opa carry you?" william said hello to Elea who was near Luna.
The little girl approached, then nodded happily.
"Bahh ... Geez, haven't we only met for a month?Why is your weight getting so much? Opa until not strong," said William who kissed Elea's cheeks with affection.
"Let's go there now. The twilight wind often blows very hard. Later Papa is sick if we do not hurry," asked Christina who immediately reached out her hand to hold Luna.
The three went hand in hand, with William at the back holding Elea.
The small houses that just look ordinary from a distance, apparently very different when Luna got there.
The place was transformed into a comfortable rest, both for Stefan's body embedded there or the family who deliberately came to visit him.
"Uncle...." Elea forced her down when the small gate used for the only access to Stefan's tomb was opened by Christina.
The little girl ran ahead of the others, even willing to duck between her mother and her Omanya to get there first.
Unexpectedly the little girl just wanted to put her ice cream box near Stefan's headstone. And he ran back to Luna, then pulled her closer to the tomb which is still a mound overgrown with ornamental grass. Even though the surrounding has been marble-floored by the uncle.
Elea and Luna are on the right side of Stefan's headstone. The two put the white rose that they had brought earlier, on top of it.
May you rest in peace, Stef. I'm sorry I just came.
Luna rubbed Stefan's headstone gently. Without feeling her tears.
On the left there is Christina behind him William is embracing him. They also pinned white roses for their son.
"Uncle, El bring ice cream. We eat together, yeah."
Elea pulled her ice cream box closer. Then the little girl took five ice creams out of it.
"It's for Opa, Oma, Mama, El and Uncle Stefan."
The little girl placed the last ice cream near the roses she gave to Stefan.
"Come on... Come on!"
Elea was so excited. Unknowingly the three adults followed him open the ice cream and ate it.
"Hemm.. yep, Ma," said the little girl full of joy.
"Wahh... Opa just ate ice cream again this time. Last time when? Until I forget."
William's laughter broke. He felt back to being a child so he felt the sweet and soft snack.
"Oma too. If El doesn't come here, where might we eat ice cream again" Christina said.
"El, you should come here often. We're also El's family, we love El" William told the little girl who ran into his lap.
"definitely Opa. Mama! El Opa and Oma's grandchildren, right?" shouted El at the dreamy Luna while puffing her ice cream.
"Well... Wh-what's El?"
