Aulia tightened my embrace on Andra's burly body. “I don't want another man. I just want you!” said Aulia slowly.
“Iya-ia,” says Andra.
Aulia knew the answer 'He' said by Andra did not mean she wanted to be her partner, Andra agreed with Aulia because she did not want to continue to answer and argue with Aulia.
Aulia did not know until when this feeling would be received by Andra, which clearly Aulia would not give up easily and still continue to fight to seize the heart and feelings of Andra. A man Aulia had loved since childhood. Her warmth, hugs, spirit and smile, it felt like Aulia did not want to share it with any other woman except her. And he is the second man of his late father to continue to protect and protect him in this world. Aulia hoped and always hoped until old age, this man would replace the warmth of the late Great Lord, not another man. Not the new man Aulia knew who was trying to fill her heart and the emptiness of her days, Aulia did not want that to happen.
The car drove slowly, leaving the restaurant parking lot. The fear that struck Aulia slowly made her tired, and sent her sleeping in Andra's warm embrace. Slowly Andra placed Aulia's head on her lap, Andra leaned her head on the bench, looking outward.
‘Who is that woman? was that woman one of the perpetrators of the assassination of the Great Lord and Miss Marsya. And why is that woman also after Aulia. I can't let all the bad things continue to happen to Aulia, I have to keep looking after her and always be by her side. Poor this spoiled girl, had to pretend to be tough in front of all of us even though she was actually very devastated after the departure of Papa and Mama.’ Andra's mind remembers me on the night of Papa and Mama's departure.

🍃🍃Back 2 days ago.🍃🍃
Andra sat right behind Aulia, her eyes constantly staring at Aulia's back which kept swaying. Aulia continued to lament the rigidly stretched corpse that was in front of her. Mama and Papa's bodies were covered in white cloth. Sadness, disintegration, emptiness and disappointment converge into one in the memories that continue to cross Aulia's two empty eyelids. Many voices around him sounded like strengthening himself, many people hugging his petrified body. But Aulia only focused on the two barely recognizable bodies in front of her.
The night after the departure of the late lord Agung and Marsya, Andra accompanied Aulia to sleep in a separate room. Sayup-sayup both of Andra's ears heard the cry from the door of Aulia's room that was not closed. Andra immediately exited the room, peeking out from behind Aulia's bedroom door. It was seen that the girl's body was curled up on the bed, hugging tightly the photo of the Great Lord and Marsya.
Andra leaned her body outside the room wall, face looking up. It felt like Andra was about to tightly hug Aulia's body, but she realized the action was not right for now. The right action for now was to let Aulia vent all her heart.
The next morning, Andra enters politely into the room, bringing Aulia's favorite breakfast, the fried rice of the late Marsya's recipe village. Slowly Andra built Aulia who was still struggling in a thick blanket. The burly hand shook Aulia's body slowly, "Aulia, get up."
Aulia woke up, both eyes puffy slowly open. Aulia slowly sat on the edge of the bed.
Andra held out a tray of village fried rice, "Let's eat!" andra said, lips smiling wide.
Aulia brushed off the village fried rice on the tray carried by Andra, "No way."
Andra quickly kept the tray away so that only the wind was pushed aside by Aulia.
“I don't want to eat this fried rice again,” Aulia's right hand index finger leads to the room door, “Down! I don't want to see food like this anymore!” said Aulia once again raising her tone. Both eyes slowly turned red, the clear liquid almost filled Aulia's beautiful eyes that were staring at Andra's face.
Andra lowered her gaze, staring at the fried rice on the tray she was holding, “Why should we throw away the fond memories of our loved ones, and dear ones. It's not better that we let go of all the things that make us sick. If you continue to lament the sadness that never ends and do not want to see the cuisine that was once made from the hands of the people we once loved, we will never, not that it will make himself more sick when he sees his beloved daughter no longer want to touch the food he once cooked for her.” Andra immediately stood up, “Tante. Forgive me for failing to make the recipe at your request to your beloved daughter. With a heavy heart I will throw away this cooking. Sorry I'm aunt.”
“Wait. Don't throw that cooking away!"
Andra immediately turned around, she quickly sat back down, a radiant face looking at the disheveled face of Aulia, “Really! So you're going to eat it?”
“Iya” sahut Aulia nodded.
With pleasure Andra fed Aulia, a mouthful of village fried rice filled her mouth. Aulia rounded both eyes at the first bite until the village fried rice flowed down her throat. Both eyes were back in full of clear liquid staring at the radiant face that Andra was currently emitting.
Aulia immediately hugged Andra, “It feels so painful to lose our loved ones. I still can't let go of all this, and I'm still mad at Papa and Mama. Why did they leave without taking me, why should I live on this earth without Papa and Mama who continue to exist for me. Where else would I complain and take refuge if God took Papa and Mama simultaneously. Why don't I just. Why?”
Andra immediately hugged Aulia's body, letting her entire body become a place of impingement. Her right hand gently caressed Aulia's back hair, "Cup! Cup. Don't talk like that, Aulia. It is impossible for God to give his servant more trials than he can afford. Do not say you are alone on this earth, do not say if you have no one but the Great Lord and Aunt Marsya. Why did you forget my words, instead of me ever saying that I was always there for you!” Andra let go of her embrace, both thumb fingers gently erasing the trail of tears that soaked my lashes. Both eyes looked at me, with thin smiling lips, “Please promise me from today you stop crying over Grand Lord and Aunt Marsya, you must remember that your late parents are at peace with God. Do not add to the sadness and disappointment of both of them from nature there. Stop crying, and start sending prayers to Grand Master and Aunt Marsya from here.”
“If it is true that my sadness, and my crying only adds to the sadness of Papa and Mama, then I will stop this crying. I will continue to send prayers after I finish praying, and I will have to keep smiling so that the late Papa and Mama will also keep smiling looking at me from up there!” sahut plain aulia.

Andra gently stroked Aulia's hair, both eyes staring at Aulia who was asleep on her lap, lips reviewing a thin smile.
Om Tarjok secretly saw Aulia and Andra from the rearview mirror in the car, a gaze full of questions that are difficult to interpret.
...Seriate...
