Marrying the Killer of my Girlfriend
VALUABLE OPPORTUNITY

Silent.

There were no talks during the trip to Dio's funeral.

Me and Becca were both stunned in silence.

Becca drove the car with an occasional look at me, checked her phone, then refocused her eyes forward.

While I, do not want to be bothered with my guilt mixed with deep yearning.

I choose to be silent with my mind venturing into the dark times I have experienced lately.

Finally, after three weeks of my former fiancee leaving this world forever, I was able to visit her resting place.

By stealth. Unbeknownst to Dio's parents who were so cruel to me.

Very violent. Not only did they ask for Rp500 million in marriage damages, they also forbade me to set foot in Dio's grave.

At that time, they held a funeral attended by family and close friends only. Gery wasn't even invited to my lover's funeral.

Therefore, I could not trace and come to Dio's burrow even secretly.

Now, Becca tried to make amends for me by taking me to visit her sister. A very appropriate moment considering both parents are on a work visit out of town.

Although I'm not sure he did it sincerely.

..

Dio, Becca and their parents.

I always thought Dio was my hero and Becca was my best friend. Even though their parents' treatment was never fair to me.

I was humiliated many times by Dio's parents but his children always came to defend and protect me.

As time went on, I became more and more convinced that Dio was the angel God sent me to make me happy.

He accepted my flaws, supported me to dream high and always raised me higher when I fell.

He's the best man I've ever met.

I wanted to cry, but there were no more tears coming from my eyelids.

Three weeks after Dio left, I didn't expect my tears to dry up.

My tears seemed to have run out after a night full of emotions that I experienced.

I'm still sad, Dio. But I also know that your departure makes me stronger.

I have to be strong to face this world without you.

After an hour, we arrived at one of the big houses with a large yard at the foot of a mountain on the outskirts of Jakarta.

This is the Dio family villa.

I used to come here when Dio was celebrating with his extended family. At that time, about 200 people were present and accommodated in the villa which may be about two hectares.

The villa looks very beautiful with many acacia trees along the gate and front yard.

And this is where Dio's body was placed.

After parking the car, Becca got out and walked directly to the back garden of the house which was connected by steps. He asked me to follow his steps.

We passed the back of the house, the swimming pool, the stables and the tracks, and continued walking towards the back of the villa.

From a distance, a garden with a variety of shady tall trees began to be seen. However, the figure of the middle-aged man suddenly stopped us from walking any further.

He is the guardian of this villa.

“Non Becca? why not tell me to come here first? ” wonder one of the villa guards who wear skullcaps on his head.

Becca smiled as she replied to the villa guard.

“I miss my sister, Mang. We want to go in.”

As we were about to enter, the villa guard watched me from top to bottom.

“This isn't Neng Selena? Non, Madam orders to Mang Ujang that Neng Selena is not allowed here.”

The guard now completely stopped me from entering Dio's funeral with his hands.

Becca calms me.

“Mang Ujang, please this once keep this secret yes. Don't tell mama, this is for Mang Ujang.”

Becca gives a neatly folded sum of money in an envelope.

“Eh, but Non Becca won't tell Madam that Mang Ujang let Neng Selena in right? I don't want to be fired, Non.”

“Aman Mang Ujang, I won't say anything. This is the secret of the three of us yes.”

I smiled at Mang Ujang as he let me go.

“Becca, thank you,” I said it solemnly.

Becca is now embracing me to the back garden of this house.

“I told you, Sel, this is my apology for letting you be treated like you shouldn't be with Ms. Celine,”. “This is all I can do.”

“Becca, thank you once again.”

I can only say that. Even though I was still upset with him, I was truly grateful that he was willing to fight for me to be able to look at Dio's grave.

Becca was still embracing me when we arrived at this back garden fence. He opened the padlock and we went into a fairly large yard inside.

Then, not far from the fence, I saw some mounds of earth with stone steps in the middle of the shady garden.

Family funeral.

 My heart is beating fast.

Cold sweat began to pour out from my forehead amid the cold mountain foot air.

Not to mention the emotions that were bubbling up in my chest, which were jolting to get expelled.

When Becca stopped at the mound of land that was still covered in flowers, I was sitting limp.

Looking at the name Aldio Revano on a headstone that seems to be rubbed every day. Brilliant and shining.

Dio, who was only 26 years old when his life was taken, was lying on the ground in front of me.

There was nothing else I wanted to do but rest beside his grave and embrace his headstone tightly.

Then I cried so much.

My tears finally flowed back for this person I love the most.

I missed you, Dio.

I really miss you.

Becca sat next to me stroking my shoulder.

“Kak, Selena's coming. You meet again. Selena should be my sister-in-law by now.”

Becca followed sobbing as she said those words.

“I'm sorry my sister couldn't protect Selena when mom and dad corner her. I'm sorry I couldn't defend Selena when she needed her at her new job.

I really hope Becca says this is all sincere from the bottom of her heart.

“And forgive me brother.. for everything.”

I think my crying is already the most undermining right now.

But it turns out Becca's cry sounded howling steelahnya. Becca seemed to lose herself. He actually cried roaring in front of Dio's tomb.

“Becca.. Becca..” I tried to calm her down.

Dio and Becca are identical twins. They were both very similar, only Dio's stocky, tall body shape and haircut alone set them apart. And for as long as I've heard, twins have interconnected telepathy and intuition.

No wonder Becca must have been so devastated to know that half of her life never left her for ever.

Yeah, I'm not the only one who's broken. Everyone who loved Dio must have felt very sad about his passing.

I hugged him from behind and we both lay in Dio's tomb. Trying to position Dio also lay down with us.

Somehow beginning, Becca and I reminisced about the memories we had with Dio.

When we traveled together to the beach, when they accompanied me to the morgue practice, when we watched Dio and his friends play music, when I had to let them both go to continue my master's studies in England and much more.

I now feel that Dio is really in the middle of us and gives his arm to me to lean on.

Long enough we lay on Dio's body, suddenly the sound of Becca's phone sounded loud.

Becca seemed to be upset to hear it.

He then hung up his phone and immediately stood up from the ground we were lying on.

“There is an emergency situation in my office, it seems my employees are involved in the corruption of company money,” he said in a panic. “I have to get to the office, Selena.”

Oh naw.

I still don't want to leave Dio.

I still want to spend time with Dio.

“Selena, you want to stay here?”

Becca offered me to continue this much-missed time at my beloved's grave.

“But maybe I can pick you up later tonight again. Or do you want to stay in my villa? I will ask Mang Ujang to clean up the room. Take it easy, father and mother will not know.”

Yeah, Becca. I still want to be here.

“You go first, for my business to go home later I take a taxi,” I said to him.

“You're serious?”

“Iya, Becca. Go, your office business is urgent to be resolved. I want to stay longer with Dio.”, I said.

“OK Selena, I go first.”

Before she left, Becca seemed to kiss her sister's headstone and came back crying.

He hugged me and walked away from me.

Leaving me with Dio's body buried in this land.

I again rubbed the mound and lay under my beloved's tombstone.

“Now it's just us, Dio. Just like before."

I went back to lying next to where Dio's body was buried.

No matter the dirt on my clothes, no matter how many other bodies lie here, and no matter the dimming sun.

I just want to get back together with the best man I've ever been to in my life.

However, a different world has now separated us.
