Maura Search
The sadness....

The day that comes later. Just three days before his daughter's wedding, Bram embodies his plans to visit her last resting place.

After traveling for hours, finally Bram's small group consisting of Maura, Mira, Andrian and Rayyan, has arrived at the destination. Now, the five people stand in front of the navel bearing the name "Riyana." The tomb looks very well preserved because Maura's adoptive father routinely pays for the cleaning services of the tomb.

''Ma, I'm coming ... I managed to get my mom's message across. Look, who I brought...." Maura paused her speech as her throat felt choked.

He took off his sunglasses to remove a speck of tears that had been curled up in the eye patch.

''Look, Ma. My mom's guy is here. Mama must be so happy." Maura looked at her father full of smiles with teary eyes.

Bram, who saw it, came closer, then grabbed his daughter's shoulder from the side. His old hand outstretched rubbing a black marble headstone with a carved inscription of his golden female name.

''I'm coming, Riyana."

That was all that could be said from the middle-aged man's lips. A single tear flowed without being prevented. However, Bram immediately removed it.

''Ma, I'm here to bring a potential ghost to mama. Our blessing, yes, Ma...."

All that was there could not hide the sadness in each other's hearts, especially the three people who were right behind the pair of father and son.

Mira's tears flowed unchecked behind her sunglasses. The girl remembered her parents.

''Maura is lucky to still be able to visit her mother's grave. Lah, I..," her inner.

There was a heavy sigh coming from her tiny lips. Let alone to visit the tomb of his parents to set foot into his homeland alone, he did not dare. Mira only smiled when remembering her fate.

''You must be sad, right? Seeing Maura could visit her mother's grave."

Mira nodded softly in response to the words of the man beside her.

The girl immediately turned her attention to the man. He did not expect that Rayyan was harboring this deep inner wound alone.

"No need to look at me like that. I don't like to be pitied the most" Rayyan said in a flat tone.

Mira was grim, just now she felt sympathy but this man could always ruin the atmosphere.

''Don't be too confident, man," replied Mira ketus.

The sadness disappeared somewhere and the annoyance mounted on the man

Andrian who had been a listener to the debate, could only shake his head slowly, then his focus was shifted to the woman who was still crying a hiccup in front of a navel.

At first, he thought he was the son who suffered the most from having separated from his mother but it turned out that there was more pain than seeing her betrayal in plain sight.

Although, her mother had betrayed her decades ago but she was still able to meet her, unlike Maura who could only cry in front of the navel.

''It's been, Ra." Andrian touched his wife's shoulder slowly.

Maura immediately wiped away the rest of her tears, then pulled slowly the burly hand asking her to crouch by his side.

''Ma, this is my future husband. If only, you could see for sure you could see how handsome he was," Maura said in a stinging voice.

She forced her smile, though her tears were reluctant to stop.

Andrian felt sorry to see the sadness of the woman. He hugged her from the side to calm her down.

''It's a pity for your mother to see you like this."
