Pursuing Sorry Saina
Chapter.33

Zio and Ardana were still glued and staring at the new earth mound and filled with fresh flower sprinkles with a gravestone bearing the name Saina Arzenita.

Although the funeral was completed an hour ago, Zio and Ardana were equally reluctant to leave the mound.

No more tears wetting the faces of the two handsome men of different generations but the gaze of both looks equally empty staring ahead.

Repeatedly both of them also seemed to sigh long and heavy.So it felt when again the netra both read the writing of the name of a girl they had been looking for all this time.

"Let our Father go, let Mother calm down and stop crying, because that is one of Mother's last requests for us"Zio just nodded weakly and followed the steps of the child leaving the place that became the final resting place for Saina.

For one week Zio and Ardana stayed in the village until the seventh day of Saina's departure was held.

And after her will return to the city by bringing little Arsa along with Zio and Ardana.

Miss Nilam did not mind because it was one of the last messages given by the late Saina on her and also Zio to bring and care for Arsa.

"Arsa go first, Grandma, you'll be fine here later if Arsa is off school Arsa will come back here and spend the holidays here" Arsain said while saying goodbye to her grandmother

"Yes dear Arsain also take good care of himself there, remember the diligent study and do not stop praying Mother let Mother also calm there"

"Each Nek Asra goes first to Assalamualaikum"

"Waalaikumsalam dear be careful yes"

"We say goodbye to you" said Zio Lirih

"Yes son be careful I put Arsa, please take good care of her"

"Yes ma'am that's for sure" Zio replied as he passed towards his car

"I go first yes and I'll come back after all the preparations are done" Ardana said as she bade Nilam that made Nilam hold his eyebrows together staring confusedly at Ardana

"You will also know for yourself after I return here" replied Ardana

Zio, Ardana and Arsa walk towards his car but when Zio is about to enter the car by opening the side door of the wheel someone holds his hand

"Let me take Zio's car, you're not okay" Bayu held Zio's hand, opening the door to the steering wheel

"You haven't come home Bay?"ask Zio to his best friend

"I was deliberately waiting for you, let me bring your car in a state that is not okay" replied Bayu then get into the car and sit in front of the steering wheel

Zio said no more and immediately turned around the car and sat next to Bayu while Ardana and Arsain sat in the back seat.

The hand of Arsain and Nilam became the farewell cover between them and the car began to drive away from the village.

"Here you go, let him go.This is the way" said Bayu who made Zio back down to hide his tears that would fall.

Both of them were back in silence to enjoy their feelings that were somehow not only Zio who felt tight at the departure of Saina.Namun Bayu also felt the same thing.

Towards the night Zio's car finally began to enter the courtyard of a luxurious and large house after previously delivering Bayu home first.

Little Arsain also opened his mouth when he got down from the car in front of the luxury house.

"Is this our house, Dad?"ask the plain boy.

"Yes dear, from now on this is your home as well and the day after tomorrow you will go to school in the new school.Let's go in"Zio also took Arsa's tiny hand and entered the house followed by Ardana behind him.

When entering the third house welcomed by Mbok Rumi who has been loyal for 28 years working together with them.

"Assalamualaikum Mbok" said Zio when he saw Mbok Rumi who opened the door of the house.
