PRINCE OM-OM
CHAPTER 18

You are so beautiful, especially when you are angry.

Back a snippet sentence in the novel “De Luna” is able to make Luna float. But this time without the sweet smile that adorned his face. The tears that accompanied Rendra's departure could not be dry from the girl's eyes. Every time, every time, when the memory of Rendra appeared, the tears easily flowed back.

Get well soon, baby! Don't you know, I'm sicker seeing you like this.

Luna breathed a long breath. Trying to recall the moments with Rendra, moments that he initially did not expect. But now he is sorely missed.

I know you love me. When do you want to be honest with your heart?

“I love you mas, I love you so much.” Luna went back hysterically and shouted. “Why did you go mas? Why did you leave me?”

“Luna consciously son, conscious darling,” said Luna's mother who immediately came when she heard the cry of her daughter. “It's a darling, this is all destiny. God must have a better plan for Rendra and you son.”

“But why should it be this fast ma'am? Even mas Rendra did not know that I love him very much,” said Luna while crying in the arms of the mother.

“Rendra knows son, your husband must know everything. And now, he will surely be very sad to see you like this,” comfort the mother.

This is life, when the heart has to accept reality, new regrets come. Losing a loved one, gives unparalleled pain. Why do regrets always come in the back?

Now every step left behind, only gives a deep sense of regret. If you can repeat the time, maybe Luna will go back to the past and say if she loves Rendra very much. To make up for all his mistakes and promise to always love.

But right now, that love feels like a grain of dust imprisoned in a hollow jar. Which is only able to color the memory, burn the recesses of the heart to add to the pain of the wound.

*****

Seven days after Rendra's departure.

Luna sat in the long chair that Rendra used every night to sleep. Today, the chair is her favorite spot. Every night the girl sleeps in the chair. In that place, Luna could feel the scent of Rendra's perfume still attached. The scent was able to make Luna feel calm. Through the aroma, Luna can feel if Rendra is still with her until now.

“Lun, how are you doing nak?” ask Luna's mother who just went into the room.

“Mother,” replied Luna while smiling. It was definitely a fake smile, which Luna gave to her mother so that she would not worry about thinking about it. “All done bu?” ask Luna. Mother only

nod while smiling.

The seven-day prayer service for Rendra's departure has just concluded. The housekeepers are still busy with their jobs in the back. Luna, who was unable to contain the tears, could only walk towards the room and let everything go without her.

“You must be strong Luna. This is not what Rendra expects of you, son. Rendra will definitely be very sad to see you like this, Lun.”

Luna looked at her mother. Not daring to stare for long, as the dam of tears in his eye sockets had made his gaze blurry.

“Think of another Luna, Rendra's company needs you and also Rendra's family at the moment. Life goes on nak.”

“Mother.” Luna hugged her mother tightly. He lost two men he loved very much. The woman he was hugging right now was the only place for him to continue to endure.

“Stay here bu.”

“I'm sorry mom, baby. I would love to be with you and continue with you. But you've grown up Luna, you should be able to deal with all of this. Remember, your journey is still very long. In front of you will face many problems, even heavier ones. I always love you Luna, come if you need mom, Mom will always be there for you.”

“Mother..” Back Luna hugs the mother. His mother was right, this is not the end. Even this is a new chapter of what will happen.

“Non Luna anyone wants to meet,” said bi Inah when Luna will start eating breakfast. The well-dressed girl looked at her assistant with a puzzled look, asking in silence, who wants to see me?

“There are two men in front. They are Mr. Rendra's lawyer,” added Bik Inah who seems to know the question in the heart of his employer.

Luna immediately finished her meal, drank some water beside her, then walked towards the living room.

“You searched me?” ask Luna wonder. It was the first time the girl met the man.

“Mother Luna, sorry to interrupt her time. I am Toni and this is my colleague Herman, we are a team of lawyers from the late Mr. Rendra,” the man explained.

“Yes, what are you looking for me for? Is there a problem?” asked Luna with a confused face.

“Alright, we came here to give a will from Mr. Rendra. Mr. Rendra bequeathed all the wealth, houses, and all the assets of the company to Ms. Luna. And now I have the right to manage and manage all of Mr. Rendra's assets.

“Ah is not father, it looks like you are wrong. My husband still has a brother and a mother. So it is impossible if I am entitled to all the wealth belonging to my husband.”

“No bu Luna, in this will it is written clearly that Luna's mother who gets all the inheritance rights. Not Mr. Rendra's mother or even his brother. Ibu Luna could see this letter.” The man gave Rendra's will to Luna.

Luna was silent for a while, perusing the letter. Where at the bottom there is a signature Rendra and also a stamp that indicates if this letter is valid.

“But my Sir..”

“Mr Toni, Luna is right, you may be wrong. Rendra still has a brother and also a mother. He must have divided the will also against his sisters right.” Suddenly the middle-aged woman came.

“Mama...,” said Luna with a sparkling face when she saw her mother-in-law standing at the door of the house.

“I want you to check once again Sir, I don't want any mistakes. It is impossible for my son to bequeath all his property to this girl,” said Rendra's mother as she leaned towards Luna.

Luna who had wanted to shake hands and hug her in-laws immediately changed her mind. Why is my mom acting like that? his inner.

“Ma, mama how are you?” Luna approached her mother-in-law about to shake hands and also hug. But the woman seemed to dodge, she did not pay attention to her daughter-in-law at all.

“I request one more time, please double check the will Mr!” she continued, distancing herself from Luna.
