Funeral Home

Samuel and Maya enter the mansion with all-white paint. Just like the memories of Martha and Harris passing through Mayan's mind. Back when she visited the mansion, there was always Martha who greeted her with a warm smile and so did Harris. The man always invited Samuel to sit back on the back porch in ancient European style, although just chatting family problems and problems with each other's wives but always make both Maya and Martha smiled a little when she saw the closeness of the two men.

Maya looked around, many guests from the Harris family. Friends of one profession or sisters and other hospital employees who have worked with the obstetrician.

As well as all the employees of their cafe, when they gathered at the funeral home, Maya gave a small nod as several smiling cafe employees moved their heads courteously towards her.

Not infrequently Samuel also saw Martha's friends during college first and also their friends during High School.

Sam knew them because he and Martha had studied in the same school even though Samuel was Martha's upperclassman.

Sam is plotting both neutrals, trying to find Permana, the father.

But before long both Samuel and Maya also caught the figure of a middle-aged woman who looks so devastated and very sad with the accident that befell his employer.

"Bibik." said Maya, he walked closer to the aunt, a woman in kebaya clothes and a small bun that always loomed above her rent head.

"Non Maya.." said the aunt with sobs. Many times he rubbed the tears that always came out of his two old eyes. And the hand that has been seen wrinkles along the back of the hand and also the fingers are rough always wiping the tears that are unceasingly flowing out.

"Non Martha and Mr. Harris...."

The old woman paused her sentence and went back sobbing.

Maya quickly embraced the old body. "Patient aunt, aunt doain aja Martha and doctor Harris, may they both be placed in heaven."

"Yes non, the aunt always prayed for non Martha and the great Lord. Bibik still can't believe they left so soon, non..."

The aunt still sobs.

"Yes bik, I also do not believe if they go this fast. Before the accident they even looked fine and there was no feeling."

"W-what about the state of the young lord of the Ocean, non?" ask the aunt who is now looking towards Maya.

Maya could only be silent as she stared at the bibik full of sadness, shook her head slowly and rubbed back the tears in the corner of her eyes. "Samudra is still unconscious bik, bibik doain only so that Am quickly aware of his operation."

The aunt could only nod while crying, her black kebaya shirt was now visibly wet by the incessant spills of tears.

"Darling, would you like to see the deceased one last time before they are buried?" samuel asked as he approached Maya.

"Yes," nods Maya softly. He said goodbye to the aunt and stood up. The girl now walked to the side of Samuel's body, tightly hooking his arm to Samuel's.

...

In a split second, Maya's netra grew hotter, she actually felt warm tears bursting out just like that.

Seeing Martha with Harris in a long sleep. The girl even looked so beautiful, her beautiful pink lips drew a smile in her sleep and so did Harris. Both of them look like they are asleep and the injuries from the accident are not clearly visible on both faces of the deceased.

Back Maya rubbed rough tears that she could not compromise anymore.

Samuel approached Maya, embracing her wife's little shoulder and giving her strength. "They're happy there, baby." Samuel Lirih.

Maya nodded slowly and then sank her face into Samuel's shoulders, shedding all the tears that might still be a lot left of the two black netra.

....

"Sam, Papa didn't see Martha's parents. Try calling Baskoro." A little whisper into Samuel's ear as he approached his son. Think of little Sam as a response to the father's request. He whispered briefly to Maya, and the man walked away from his seat in front of the two bodies.

Sam is seen pulling his phone out of his pants pocket and making a call there. Maya saw it from a distance, her forehead was a little interested as soon as Samuel walked back towards her but then approached Permana while whispering a little.

Samuel nodded slowly. "Om Baskoro didn't say anything, Pah. He just thanked me for telling me this sad news."

Permana took a deep breath hearing Samuel's words. Family problems in the past, after all this time should be able to redam Baskoro for the sake of his late daughter.

"Yes, today we buried Martha and Harris without waiting for Baskoro" said Permana, who only responded with a nod of the head from Samuel.

"What's up, Husband?"

"Om Baskoro Martha's father could not attend the funeral."

"Why is that? Isn't this the last time they see their child?" asked Maya with an astonished expression.

"Come on, baby."

Sam replied as he shook his head slowly, bringing back Maya's fingers in his grasp.

While the surrounding situation still looks quiet, relatives and colleagues are still seen bowing while offering prayers according to their beliefs. The pastor who presided over the funeral service was still visibly praying for the two bodies.

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

After the funeral, Maya and Samuel return home. Maya wants to help the aunt to prepare everything in the house, at least until the guests are no longer too crowded in the mansion.

Although there is a brother from Harris, Maya wants to do this in order to remember and respect Martha. Samuel understood his wife's intentions. "Darling, I came home for a shower. You need me to bring you a change of clothes?" samuel asked as Maya chose to stay at the funeral home when Sam was about to return home.

"Hm, please, baby. Bring me a change of clothes, ask your aunt who chooses, aunt knows which one to bring."

"All right, I'll go home first."

"Sam-" said Maya who made Samuel's step stopped for a moment.

"Yes?"

"Be careful on the road."

"Hm." Sam nodded slowly, gently peeling Maya's forehead before she left.

Maya looks at Samuel's departure, praying in her heart for her husband's safety. This incident gave a little more of a sense of Maya trauma. Plus the incident while in Milan, about the recklessness of Elano to hurt them. Maya once again tries to get rid of the bad possibilities that could have happened.

The girl was also seen breathing rough once the shadow of Samuel was no longer visible from the end of the mansion door.

"Non Maya....."

"Yes bik?"

"There are non-Martha and Mr. Harris lawyers who want to talk to non-Mayans."

Maya pulled a little bit of her eyebrows. Why would Martha and Harris want to talk to her? inner Maya.

"Yes, wait a minute."

Maya now walks toward the aunt and follows the steps of the woman.
