MARRIED AN OLD VIRGIN (MY ADOPTED MOTHER)
Episode 8

The funeral was finally held in Malang, the same tomb where Adira's grandmother and grandfather were interred.

The two new wet mounds of land were surrounded by a few people, including some from the hospital and also relatives of Adira's parents.

Having no one Adira was forced to rely on them.

Now the 23-year-old woman is only able to stare blankly at the last house of Mother and Father.

It still feels like a dream to accept the fact that now he has been orphaned at the same time.

Only the day after yesterday he and his late parents hugged each other before they said goodbye to Malang, but now they both just leave forever a beautiful princess who is now only able to contemplate fate.

The two eat side by side with Adira's late grandfather and grandmother, the four people Adira loved have gathered in another realm.

Why don't you take Adira away, ma'am? Why did you leave Adira here, Dad? What if Adira suffers from not being able to live alone? Adira wants to go with you. Please persuade God to take Adira's life as well Yah Bu.

Adira muttered in her heart because her energy was drained, crying was no longer able to shed tears. All he did in a raging heart.

A woman of her mother's age approached Adira who was sitting languidly between the two gravestones, patting one of the shoulders of her now-defunct best friend's daughter.

"Adira, we go home yuk. It's gonna be tonight, tonight you guys stay at the aunt's house, tomorrow we come back here again. You want to, right?" Persuaded it.

Adira turned with the look of my eyes, it was very clear if he was very tired of taking care of the funeral of his parents.

Marsya also seems persuaded, Adira does not feel good if he insists on continuing to be here accompanied by his best friend, Adira knows Marsya is also tired of accompanying him all day.

With Adira's remaining strength nodding weakly, Marsya helps Adira rise and they leave from there.

"Eat first, Ra. You haven't eaten yet, have you? Aunty has prepared food for all of us, eaten yes" Arumi put a variety of food on the table, presenting both guests with delicious dishes.

But Adira looks tasteless even though the dish in front of her is so appetizing, Adira just looked at the food for quite a long time.

Marsya who saw that immediately exclaimed.

"Ra, let's eat. Later you will get sick if you do not fill your stomach" said Marsya made Adira finally raised her hand to reach for the spoon and fork available on the plate.

"Thank you Auntie, sorry to bother" Adira's great-grandson was almost inaudible.

Arumi smiled at Adira who had started talking, "Absolutely not, you can eat as much. Now eat it"

They all then began to devour the dish together, Adira looks to eat only a little, honestly he does not want to consume anything, but Adira is not happy if you have to reject all the goodness of Arumi.

Until finally everyone finished eating dinner.

Tonight Adira and Marsya are required to stay at the Arumi residence, too far if they have to go straight to Jakarta, and again he still wants to visit the tomb of his mother and father.

Maybe Adira will ask permission to stay for a few days, at least until Adira feels calm enough to let go of both parents.

When entering Adira's room received a call from RT sir, it seemed to ask news about the news of the death of Adira's parents.

Adira then picked up the phone.

"Call..."

"Hallo Adira, this is me RT sir. Sorry to disturb you these nights, I just want to make sure about the news that was spread from the residents, is it true that Madam Nadin and Mr. Bagas died?" Ask from there.

Adira let out a long sigh, trying to answer the man's question carefully.

"Yes, mr RT"

"Innalilahi wa innailaihi raji.... Is it true because of an accident?!"

"Yes sir, a car accident" Adira replied as calmly as possible.

"I and the people are saddened by the passing of Madam Nadin and Mr. Bagas, may the worship charity be accepted above. We really did not expect to hear this news, may the family left behind be given fortitude" said Mr. RT gave a prayer.

"Amin, thank you sir. As my only child, I apologize if my mother or father ever made a mistake during his life. Please pray for them there too"

"Sama-sama Adira, then when will you return to Jakarta? Many have asked for your return here" he continued.

"I do not know, sir, for now I am staying at the residence of my late mother's relatives. Of course I will not linger to trouble him, I will soon return to Jakarta" Adira replied in response.

"Well then, we hope you're okay there and come back safely. We're sorry we can't make a pilgrimage there for now"

"It's okay sir, I understand" Adira understood the incompetence, the most important thing now is a prayer.

"Then I hang up the phone, again sorry to interrupt your time. Good night"

And the phone ended there, Adira put her net back on the nightstand and joined lying down along with Marsya who had first entered the dreamland.

***

At ten o'clock Adira and the others returned to the tomb, Adira also took the time to approach the graves of his late grandparents, sprinkling fresh flowers on the four mounds of land.

Adira still faithfully holds his mother's headstone, without any intention of going quickly from the place.

Arumi approached beside Adira.

"If you want, move to Malang. Staying here to get closer to your late parents, that's Aunt's advice. Aunty already considers you like her own child, Aunt worried to see you live alone in Jakarta, if you are interested Aunt can find you a place to live" arumi offers Adira something that might make Adira calmer.

Adira heard Arumi's words carefully, honestly he did not want to be far from his parents, want to go anywhere he had no one. But at least by being able to see the graves of parents every day Arumi will be more rigid to live life.

But moving was not as easy as imagined, Adira also difficult to leave the house owned by his parents in Jakarta, since birth he lived there and will not be easily adapted in a new environment, he said, there are many memories with my mom and dad in the house.

"Adira will think again, Auntie" he said.

"Of course, think carefully. Do not rush, you can call Auntie anytime if you intend to move here" Arumi also got up from there and passed to the car parked in front of the cemetery.

And now Adira began to reflect on the offer.
