My Killer Lecturer's
Rizal Cemetery

Ting!

Whatsapp notification sounds, sign in on Zein's phone. The young man immediately wiped the phone screen. A second later, a map of the location sent by Mr. Radit.

Zein began to turn around and follow the map of the location. Finally, after passing through a rocky road that was quite steep, we arrived at the location.

“Is this really the villa, Kak?” ask Zein.

I'm nodding. “Iya, Zein. Brother remembers very well with that towering gate.” Point me at the gate at the residence of the late bang Rizal.

Zein drove his car back into the wide-open gate. Arriving there, there were several police cars and an ambulance parked in the courtyard of the house. After Zein parked the car, I went downstairs to meet Mr. Radit inside.

“Nona Chi!” suddenly I heard Ida's voice calling from the direction of the side garden.

“Ida!” muttered.

I set foot into the side garden to meet Ida. I hugged Ida who looked crying. Maybe Ida was very sad about what happened to her employer. After all, to Ida, bang Rizal was the hero of her life. It was Bang Rizal who had helped Ida and her father from the loan shark who wanted to make Ida his fifth wife.

“You're patient yes, Da. Bang Rizal has calmed down by God's side,” I said trying to comfort Ida.

“Iya, Miss. Ida .. Ida just can't afford to see little Maira. Pity him, Non. Still small but already orphaned,” said Ida, pilu.

I also felt tight when I remembered Maira. I know that he's very close to his father. And after his father's gone, I don't know who's going to take care of Maira.

“Where is Maira now, Da?” I don't see Maira around Ida. Normally, if the father wasn't around, Maira would always stick to me and Ida.

“Maira is inside with her grandparents,” Ida replied.

“Oh, so Anneu's parents have arrived?” I asked Ida.

“Iya, Non. At 3 o'clock in the morning they arrived. Fortunately they have not gone to Sumatra, therefore they immediately came here as soon as the police conveyed the tragedy that happened to Mr. Rizal and Miss Anneu,” Ida said.

“Then I go inside first, Da. I want to say hello to them,” I said.

Ida looked to nod. After saying goodbye to Ida, Zein and I again stepped foot into the Villa bang Rizal.

“Assalamu’alaikum!” my greeting to the people gathered in the living room.

“Wa’alaikumsalam!” answer them in unison.

I entered, momentarily glued when I saw the corpse of bang Rizal who had been wrapped in a shroud. I glanced at Maira who was sitting on the lap of an old woman. She was probably Anneu's mother. The little girl looked like a henchman playing her Barbie doll. Tears were shed as he looked up and rushed towards me.

“Buna!” maira shouted as she ran so far as to see me.

A moment later, I crouched down, welcoming the warm embrace of the little girl.

“Buna, maila tangen,” he said slurred.

“Iya, Darling .. Buna also miss Maira,” I replied while hugging her thin body tightly. For some reason, my heart ached when I hugged Maira.

The words of Mr. Radit immediately released our embrace. I immediately carried Maira and walked towards the people who were surrounding the body of the Rizal bang. A moment later, an ustadz came and whispered to Mr. Radit.

“Alright, do whatever you think is good, Ustadz,” Mr. Radit said.

The cloaked man nodded. After that, he ordered some gloved youths to move the body of the Rizal bang into the coffin that had been stored in front of the room. It seemed, bang Rizal's body was about to be buried right now.

An old man approached me. He introduced himself as Pak Rahadi, the grandfather of Maira who was none other than his father Anneu.

“Bapak already knows all his stories from commander Adwira. On behalf of your daughter, Anneu .. Ba-bapak apologize, son. You have failed to educate Anneu, so she grew into a woman without affection,” said Mr. Rahadi sounded very heartbreaking.

“All this is not the fault of Father. I also apologize if unknowingly, I have hurt your daughter's feelings. What happened, let it happen, sir. I myself have forgiven the attitude of my daughter. We say’a only, hopefully Anneu can take wisdom from all the things that have happened. Oh, yes Mr. .. By the way, how is Anneu doing? Sorry, I haven't been able to see him,” I said.

For a moment, Mr. Rahadi seemed to take a deep breath. He then slowly breathed out. “Anneu is still unconscious. He's still in the ICU. His condition is very critical. In fact, the doctor did not dare to give hope to us,” said Mr. Rahadi.

I was so surprised to hear Mr. Rahadi's words. Yes, it is natural that Anneu's condition is severe enough, given the depth of the abyss. But I still hope. Hopefully there will still be a miracle for Anneu, so that she can heal and improve her attitude.

After a few minutes, the funeral procession of Bang Rizal in the backyard began. Since childhood, Bang Rizal has been an orphan. He also lives a kara. Therefore, not many people attended the funeral bang Rizal. Plus, until this moment, no one knew what the profession of bang Rizal was.

After the funeral is over. We all gathered in the living room. Mr. Radit intogerated one by one the workers in the villa bang Rizal related to the work of the Rizal bang. However, none of them knew who the Rizal bang was. Including the bodyguards hired by bang Rizal to guard this villa.

Even with Mr. Ujang and Ida. They just say, if bang Rizal is a good person who has saved Ida and her father from forced marriage to be done by a loan shark in his village.

When not getting a single one about who and what was the work of the late bang Rizal, Mr. Radit switched the topic of the question. Now she intogerated Ida regarding Anneu's attitude that had led me to forcibly leave that afternoon.

Clearly, Ida told the incident that afternoon exactly as I told Mr. Adwira. It was seen Mr. Radit mangosteen hearing Ida's testimony. Besides asking Ida, Mr. Radit also asked Mr. Ujang about the same thing. Pak Ujang's answer was similar to Ida, that Anneu did come in a state of anger and directly slapped me.

For a moment, I heard Mother Wati, whose mother Anneu was sobbing in her husband's arms.

“Yes God, Well .. Mother never thought if Anneu could be that cruel,” said Bu Wati.

“Sst, already Ma'am. Anyway, Anneu is our daughter. We should've’akan the best for Anneu. Hopefully with this incident, if indeed Anneu is given the opportunity to continue living, hopefully Anneu can repent,”, said Mr. Rahadi.

“Aamiin,” answer everything in this room.

“Alright, Ma'am Res. I think the testimony for today is enough. If Mbak Res really wants to rest, I will not hinder Mbak Res,”, said Mr. Radit.

“Thank you, Sir. Incidentally there is still a lot to take care of related to the health of my friend. If my presence is no longer needed, I want to withdraw,” I replied.

“Iya, please!” said Mr. Radit.

After saying goodbye to Anneu's parents, Zein and I finally went home.

“Bunaaa! Maila ikuuut!”
