ME AND MY LAST LOVE
Chapters 21. New experience

After a day of viewing the set, they felt quite satisfied with the results. It's just, they have to start the right time for shooting. When dinner arrives.

"Tomorrow it looks like we can start shooting. For a better time.in the morning, so you do as I say." Lingtheo.

"Sister? After Japan, my holiday is still long. So, I just want to go back to China." Lingmei asked her brother to allow her to vacation in China again.

"Could only. Doesn't matter, or is there a desire to go to the wai po house? Meimei hasn't been there for a long time." Lingtheo.

Lingtheo and Lingmei call their grandmother wai po. wai po in mandarin means grandmother next to mother.. Lingtheo and Lingmei have only one grandmother.

"Hm.. Meimei doesn't want to go there. Meimei wants to go to China only after this advertising task is finished, brother. can you? Still want to be close to little mom." Answer Lingmei.

"Yes, I've never stood in your way." Calm reply.

Nayla only listened to the conversation of the two sisters, she focused on eating. occasionally reply to Adi chat on her mobile phone. Nayla often sends her photos in Japan for Adi and Putra to see.

His trip to Japan made him get a lot of new experiences. He hopes to do his best for his job.

"Little mother, I want to go to my real mother's funeral. I hope little mother can accompany Meimei there."

"Alright, little mother is willing to accompany Meimei everywhere."

"Thank you little mom. I really love you." Lingmei hugged Nayla.

Bend day..

After the meal they started the journey to the funeral.this time only Lingmei with Nayla alone. Lingtheo didn't want to follow her mother's funeral.

His mother's funeral was quite far from where he lived, but was always taken care of by the tomb guards. So it's always well-groomed. Lingmei paused for a moment as her car drove by, wanting to buy some plastic flowers and water.

"Little mother? I don't know why little mom's arrival made me feel happy. Which I usually come to the funeral with heavy steps. Because the longing I felt was always approaching. I'm not afraid of the departure of the mother but the sadness is always there. With the company of the little mother I can slowly reduce my sadness." Lingmei.

"No why. I'm already around you, so I'm not leaving you, son." Nayla. But he remembered his late mother, and he understood how Lingmei felt. Even more sad if he sees his brother Son.

They arrived at the cemetery located under the foot of the mountain. It is called Mount Fuji. It is located in the Shizuoka area where the tomb is very spacious and neatly arranged.

For families who are left will have to buy land at this cemetery even though the status has been purchased but the land cannot be owned by us. So, we can only buy the right to use the burial ground. Well this grave land after we have. then, we must pay maintenance money or cleanliness and security money paid monthly. But there was no problem for the Ling family. They pay according to policy.

They walked a little to get to the tomb of their birth mother.

But when he was buried, Lingmei saw his mother's grave was scattered with blue roses favorite Lingmei. The flowers look fresh as if someone has just visited the cemetery.

Lingmei just kept silent to see it. But his view is full of questions. He approaches his mother's headstone and kisses her, prays for a moment and tells of Nayla who is now his little mother. Nayla only smiled as she looked at Lingmei's face gently. He felt touched.

Lingmei pressed a button on her phone, like she was contacting someone but Nayla just noticed. It was true that he called someone. Shortly afterwards a middle-aged father's voice came over.

"Well, what can I do for you, what can I help you with?" Ask the man to speak Japanese.

"Is there anyone who has just come to this tomb before me sir" Lingmei replied speaking Japanese.

Because Lingmei studied in Japan, so she was used to using Japanese in her daily life.

"Indeed, there is someone who always comes every day to this tomb, he comes accompanied by his driver. I never asked her name but she used to cry when she saw this funeral, son." Obviously the middle-aged father.

"What are the characteristics of such a person sir. Sorry for asking so much." Lingmei said very politely.

"Someone was an old woman, as she walked still looking healthy but like there was no spirit in her life, I felt that woman was very lost a figure in the tomb." Answer the middle-aged.

"Thank you sir, I already know." Lingmei said while giving some Yen sheets to the middle-aged father. Then the father bowed his head as a sign of respect in the country of Japan, because it was his tradition.

After the middle-aged father passed. Lingmei fell silent again but thought to herself. "Until when is wai po like this. It was years after my mother's departure. Why can't he just take a little prickling on his son."

Then Lingmei involuntarily shed her tears, Nayla who saw immediately wiped her tears and hugged her tightly.

"I understand how you feel. Cry son, little mother will always be there."

they also hugged in the middle of the quiet atmosphere of the tomb. It was very cold but it felt warm for Lingmei and Nayla. They decided to go home and sprinkled her blue roses on her mother's grave then said. "My mom's saying goodbye"

Drgtt.. Drgtt.. Dgrtts...

"Haloo. My sister Meimei and little mother will be there soon." Lingmei

"Be careful and don't rush while driving." Lingtheo reminded her sister.

"Our little mother has to go to her set. I was waiting there." Lingmei said as she put her phone back in her bag.

"alright. Let little mom drive the car." Reply Nayla gently. Swiping Lingmei's two cheeks that were still wet from her cries.

They walk towards the whereabouts of the car on the road boat. In the middle of the street, Nayla heard the sound of a child crying sitting alone at a man's funeral. Seen a photo display on the headstone of his name.

Nayla could not bear to see him, so she remembered the Son. Because the little boy is not much different at the age of the Son. Nayla releases Meimei's hand. He approached the boy.

"Don't cry. Good boy can't cry, brother so remember sister brother. He is so strong, yet he is the same age as you. He said the Son is grown and will never cry. The son of a strong man where it might be possible to cry. At that time, both of his parents were gone. He said he would take care of his brother. I want you to be like the Son. Our loved ones may leave us, but our lives must go on." Nayla hugged the child.

"Your father might feel sad in nature if you keep crying at his funeral.Give your father happiness by making yourself happy living life." Connect Nayla while stroking the little boy's hair, then wipe his tears.

"Sister is right, I don't want my father to be sad to see me cry. I want to be like the Son. Thank you brother so good." Say the child.

Then Nayla gave him some Yuan she had, but it had not yet come to the little boy Lingmei said. "The "little mother was the currency of China. Right now we're being braided. just give little brother this one."

Lingmei gave Nayla a few Yen sheets and then took Yuan in Nayla's hands.

"Sister forgot. Brother only has Yuan. But this is for you, don't cry again from this second on." Nayla said to the little boy gave the Japanese currency that Lingmei had just given him.

The little boy hugged Nayla in a happy mood for what Nayla was saying.

Nayla and Lingmei continued on their way to the set.

In the car they talk relaxed but Nayla is driving at a moderate speed so as not to spend time to take pictures.

During the week they spend time taking pictures, but there are also trips that make them happy. Nayla always contacts Putra, she misses her sister so much and wants to be home soon. Therefore, Nayla tried her best to do the photo shoot to the exclusion of the gerogi in her.

Arriving on set...

All crews are waiting. Nayla looked at Lingtheo who greeted them with a grin, not knowing what this handsome man was thinking.

"Wahh. The place is so good, I want to take a picture here. Little mother can help Meimei to take this beautiful picture of Meimei." Said Lingmei giving her cellphone to Nayla, Lingmei is very enthusiastic to take pictures with the view of the cherry blossoms that surround her.

Nayla also took a good photo of Lingmei. Lingmei was delighted then said. "Big brother, I want to take a picture of my brother with my little mother, as a memory." Lingmei pulled the hand of her brother who was paying attention to their behavior that had just come.

Nayla and Lingtheo were just following her sister's wishes. Lingtheo knew, if he refused Lingmei would frown like a child. They stood close together like statues.

Nayla felt condolences, but Lingmei kept asking and then said.

"Sister and little mother gave a smile. Emm. Don't look at the camera, embrace little mom's shoulder. Then look at his face. You guys just look at each other."

"Hmm. smile, come on." Lingmei forced the two a little. They can only surrender to the words of Lingmei, taking pictures like a pair of lovers. After that Nayla focused on her work while shooting as a brand advertising star, although there was no experience but nayla tried hard in living it.
