"Sir, are we going to the tomb?" He knew that road, it had been a long time since he started busy working and getting married, he rarely went through it.
Alvi's smile answered her question. "I hope my guess is correct, you'll miss them."
Navya did not say anything more, Alvi was right she did miss her parents in her current condition. The best place to sit is the elderly. It's not that Finny can't carry out the role, but the problems he now faces will have a bad impact if the woman finds out.
"Let's get down." The car was parked neatly in the tomb area, close to the florist."I'll buy flowers."
But the girl beside her had yet to react, Alvi closed back the car door which she had already opened a little.
"Navya?"
Navya rubbed her wet cheek from the tears she was dripping without being able to hold. Trying to hide that he just cried.
"You crying? Or are you not going to your parents' grave?"
"No sir, it's okay. I'm just overwhelmed. You can tell how I feel."
"Maybe because we're the same, we lose our best place when we still need them the most." While looking at the tomb of Indra and Syifa that can be seen from the parking area.
"When I had a problem, I always came here. It's what makes my heart uncomfortable. Because I don't want to add a burden of thought to grandma."
"Thank you, sir. My father has helped me a lot. I don't know how to repay her."
"Easy, I ask you to be happy, always smile and do not get hurt. That's enough for me." Stuck up, that request for her happiness. Alvi asks herself to be happy.
"Let's get down." Unwilling to wait for Navya's response, Alvi got out of the car and walked towards the flower stand.
Navya, who was still surprised by Alvi's words, would not want to go down also followed his boss. The man bought four flowers to put on the graves of his parents and Navya's parents. Then they walk to Navya's parents' grave first.
Praying for both, Navya bowed between eating both. A few moments later, his shoulders shook. Although there was no sound of sobbing, but Alvi knew the girl was crying while talking in her heart about the turmoil she felt. Alvi does not prevent it, allowing Navya to express her emotions and sadness.
Alvi gives a handkerchief that is directly received by Navya to wipe her facial tears. Then he stood up, still looking tears in his black netra, but his heart was already relieved.
"Hows it? Is it better?"
Nodding and giving a smile to his Boss. "Thank you, sir. I feel stronger."
"I'm glad to hear that. I'm going to my parents' grave, you go to the car first."
"I want to follow Sir, since childhood I always follow Mami to the tomb of om Indra and Aunt Syifa, what is the reason now I do not visit their graves." Smile expands on the face of Alvi, the woman he loved turned out to have often visited the graves of his father and mother. Trivial things like this can make Alvi feel happy.
"Come on."
Arriving at his parents' tomb, he approached while putting the flowers he had brought earlier. Navya crouched down next to him. The attitude made Alvi feel very happy. She looked at Navya's face, closing her eyes, offering prayers for her parents. Then he turned to look at the two navels in front of him.
"Father, Mama.. She's Navya, the little girl who came here a long time ago to pray for you. She's the girl I love and my love is so sincere, even though I can't have her yet, or maybe I'll never be able to have her. Although she's not mine, I just want to see her happy."

"Sir, I don't want to go home yet. I don't know what I'm going to say to Mas Dafin." Already in the car that drove out of the cemetery complex.
"Where are you going? To Aunt Finny's house?"
"Near here is a park, I want to go there if you don't mind."
"I don't mind at all."
Just 10 minutes from the cemetery, they arrived at a park on the outskirts of the city. Many benches are all facing the large fountain pool in the middle of the park. The playground she provided for the children. In the afternoon like now, many small families visit there. Although not as crowded on weekends but the place is never deserted by those who want to spend time having fun with their families and children. Moreover, there are rows of food trucks and snack stalls lined up neatly in the food court area that can spoil the tongue and stomach of the visitors.
Alvi and Navya were sitting on one of the park benches under a shady tree.
"Do you want me to buy you something?"
"No, no need sir. I still have this." while removing a bar of chocolate that had been opened Alvi.
"So some say, chocolate is a happiness that can be eaten. So I want to share that happiness too." Bribed a piece of chocolate to the man next to her and was gladly received.
"Sir, may I ask you something?"
"Yes can."
"Why aren't you married?"
Alvi was still glued. He has to answer what. "I've never seen you with a woman either."
"Maybe because I was too focused on the company, I used to be close to a girl. But only a close friend, there is never a word of courtship. But it turns out that he used his closeness to me for personal gain. And tell people that we're engaged. Since then I have chosen to focus on college and completing my studies in order to help my grandfather in the company."
"Then now, why don't you look for a future wife?"
"Navya, if you're not betrothed to Dafin, what do you do to get a husband?"
"How come so ask me, am I first the Father."
Dafin laughed, having managed to trick Navya. "What's wrong you answer, who knows your answer can be an inspiration for me."
"Father weird."
"Actually I love someone, I really want to have them. But it seems hard."
"Don't you try yet, why give up? Have you expressed your feelings?"
"Hmmm... I'mfrightened. Afraid she was away and not at all beside me. Then I still hold on to keeping my feelings."
"Why is that? You are an established man, handsome and kind. Which girl does not want to be the same father. So you have to be confident and brave to fight for your love."
"But she loves others, how can I win her heart if all she sees with her heart is that person. I don't want to ruin her happiness."
"Father who is patient, I pray that one day you can be with the people you love and love the Father."
*You're Navya, that person is you. But you don't realize my love for you. I want to say I love you Navya but fear you will leave me. But wickedly I always try to grab your attention so that you get used to feeling the depth of my love, and pray that you see me as the one who loves you.
I love you Navya, I'm used to loving you*.
