Ega's black suit and sunglasses were worn at Mr. Hendarwan's funeral, his face flat, but deep sadness was stored behind his sunglasses.
A hand suddenly clasped his hand, as he felt warm as it touched him. Ega turned her head, right next to her, Indhi stood up while looking at her softly, as if the woman was saying everything would be fine.
Ega again looked at the reddish-colored excavation of the land, where Mr. Hendarwan would be buried. Regrets certainly filled his heart, if he was not too stubborn, maybe now they were together as an uncle and nephew.
Wailing ceaselessly came out from the lips of mama Mayang, the old woman leaned in the arms of her son while lamenting the death of her beloved husband.
All the family members sowed flowers on the maelstrom of Mr. Hendarwan, not least Ega, the man even cried as flower petals began to fall on the mound.
"Excuse me," his wry regret, selfishness and deep anger made Ega forget all the goodness of Mr. Hendarwan to him. Though if in thought again, what Mr. Hendarwan did was a form of his affection for Ega.
When everyone was going home, Ega accidentally caught a figure who was familiar to him, the figure hid behind a frangipani tree in a black suit and head covering cloth.
"Sherly," said mama Mayang who also saw the arrival of the woman.
Mama Mayang ran over to Sherly, followed by the others.
"Sherly," called mama Mayang in a hoarse voice.
"Mbak Mayang," cried a woman named Sherly who was none other than Ega's birth mother.
"Why are you hiding here, don't you want to see your brother for the last time?"
"My sister," Sherly did not continue her sentence, the woman stared fearfully at the Two standing behind her sister-in-law.
Mama Mayang turned her head, when she knew why Sherly was reluctant to join usher Mr. Hendarwan to his final resting place, the woman must be ashamed to meet Ega again after all his actions.
"Honey, let's go home," asked Ega while gently pulling Indhi's hand, but the pregnant woman refused to move and instead held her husband's hand.
"Darling please, I'm tired," asked Ega with a desperate face, inevitably Indhi finally relented and left the funeral.
Everyone stared at the departure of Ega and Indhi, then they turned to look at Sherly with concern.
"Give him Sher time!" mama Mayang said while patting her sister-in-law's shoulder.
"I didn't expect him to admit to me. I'm just sad, every time I see it I see my horrible past! He's my biggest mistake!"
"We" said Mama Mayang and Doctor Aditya at the same time.
"Well, mas Adit. Mrs Sherly even considered Mr. Ega a mistake, would it not be better for Mr. Ega to remain so, not admitting his own mother. Ega deserves to be happy too! "
Doctor Aditya looked at his wife with a strange look, either since when he felt upset when Dita defended Ega, basically the man did not like when Dita mentioned the name Ega.
"Yes you are right. We'd better live like this" Sherly replied sadly.
"Sher, I'm sorry my daughter-in-law, I'm sure she didn't mean to make you sad" said Mayang's unwell mother.
Dita rolled her eyes off guard, since Dita knew if Sherly ever asked for money from Ega, she felt that if Sherly had never been sincere to Ega, maybe Sherly was just using Ega, he just felt like he was, that's what's on Dita's mind.
Elsewhere, Ega and Indhi have arrived at her mother's house. After cleaning up, the two sat on the sofa in their room. Ega hugs his wife affectionately, while Indhi looks worried, he wants to discuss Sherly's problem but he fears Ega will be angry with him.
"Say!" said Ega while playing the tip of his wife's hair.
"Eh," cried Indhi surprised.
"Tell me what you want to talk about. Since then you are very anxious," continued Ega answer Indhi's curiosity.
"What is this, what is the shaman's brother?" indhi replied in disbelief, maybe her husband knew if he wanted to talk about something.
"Quick say, Later you can not even sleep!"
"Mm, about Sherly's mom..." Indhi hesitated to continue her sentence.
Ega broke his embrace, the man then looked at his wife. "Darling, ever since he asked me for money I've considered the rope between us to be broken.I've never seen sincerity in his eyes, so please don't force me to accept that woman again. I'm fine, enough with you and our mother and baby I'm happy" Ega explained without a doubt.
"Sorry brother, I'll appreciate your decision!"
"Thank you dear."
