SECOND WIFE OF MR. ALEX
39

Now Ella and Alex are neat and in their new car. Alex wants to drive his own car without Sandi or Ella's new driver.

Alex tells Sandi to brief the driver and the guard who will guard Ella's house.

Ella looks lazy, in contrast to Alex who looks lazy.

"Where are you going?" ask Alex who is ready to drive his car.

"To Dad's grave" said Ella.

"Ohh okay." Without protest Alex immediately drove his car to Ella's village where Ella's father was buried there.

"Maybe he misses his father." Alex's inner self who was quite conscious during marriage was indeed Ella had rarely returned to her village.

It didn't take long, their car had entered Ella's village, where Ella's attorneys looked at the luxury car that had just passed by asking who had come.

"Can't you stop by Pakde's house?" ask Ella.

"It's up to you." replied Alex lazily.

"Uhhhh you heard son, Papa you are very good with Mama" said Ella while stroking her stomach without Ella realizing her babbling caused a tinge of smile on Alex's lips.

"If you don't want to come down, just wait here, I'll just be a minute" Ella said as Alex's car stopped in front of the funeral.

"No! I'm coming with you."

"Yes if you want to come" said Ella who actually did not force Alex to come in, fear Alex did not like the activity.

When he arrived at the door of the tomb, Ella took a broomstick that he would use to clean the tomb of his Father and Mother side by side.

"What's that ugly broom for?" alex asked when he saw Ella pick up one of them, all of which looked ugly and shabby.

"To clean Dad's tomb with Mom" Ella replied innocently.

"Give me, I'll clean up!" said Alex forced to take a broom from Ella's hand.

"But Ak-." Ella who just wanted to protest but in vain because her broom has now changed hands.

The two have arrived at two adjoining tombs, one of which is seen the old tomb that Alex believes is the tomb of Mother Ella and the new tomb that is definitely the tomb of Ella's father.

Without waiting for orders, Alex immediately swung his broom, cleaning the dried leaves that had fallen around the tomb of Father and Mother Ella.

While Ella is seen sitting on a rock plucking grass while occasionally staring at Alex's face that looks very shrewd sweeping using a broomstick.

After feeling clean, Alex sat next to Ella who was reciting prayers for her parents.

"Dad... Mom.... How are you doing with Mom there? Here Ella is happy, Father Mother.so Father and Mother must also be happy there yaa." said Ella beside the graves of her parents.

Alex, who was sitting next to Ella, listened to Ella's every speech throbbing a little. Even until now Alex has not thought at all whether Ella is happy with him or not and now in front of the tomb of his parents, Ella loudly said if He was happy, he was happy, one unthinkable word for Alex to do to Ella.

"And soon I'll have a grandchild" said Ella again who now Alex is sure if Ella was crying. "Doain Ella, Mother's father, let Ella always be healthy and strong" the last word Ella said was imprinted on her parents before Ella got up and took Alex back to the car.

"Sir, Buk. although I'm not sure if I love your daughter or not yet but I promise as Ella's husband that I will always look after and make Ella happy." alex's mind in front of the graves of Ella's parents before Alex also rose up following Ella who was about to enter the car.

In the car both are equally silent, busy with each other's thoughts.

"Where is pakde's house?" alex asked Ella's daydream.

"The way in before the village, the green house." explains Ella who is only embraced by Alex.

Alex's car drove slowly while his eyes focused on the house Ella meant.

"It's really quiet" muttered Ella who got out of the car to enter the house.

Just about to step onto the porch of the house, a voice stopped Ella and Alex.

"Ella.." said a middle-aged woman who approached Ella and Alex.

"Mbah Mar's...." Ella immediately approached and kissed the hand about Pakde who was also familiar with it.

"You looking for Pakde yaa?" ask Mbah Mar.

"Yes but how lonely, is Pakde not there?"

"Yes Pakde sama Bude mu was again going to visit Umi sam children out of town and it seems like they will go there" explained Mbah Mar to cause a disappointed look on Ella's face.

"Yahh, yes already Mbah if that is so, greetings to Pakde sama Bude only if you have returned" said Ella.

"Don't stop by Mbah's house?".

"When else" subtly push Ella.

"Yes, if so, when was your handsome husband to the house of Mbah" said Mbah Sam who was only taken by Ella while Alex was just silent since standing next to Ella.

After finishing talking with Mbah Sam, Alex and Ella have entered the car again.

"So where are we going?" ask Alex.

"You have no intention of going to your parents' tomb?" ask Ella who is actually afraid to ask this, afraid if Alex even angry.

"Hmmm.." Alex just muttered.

"I don't mean it if I don't" Ella said.

"Yes, we've been there" said Alex, turning cold.

Looks like Ella was right wrong this time around Ella's inner self.

The journey from Ella village to the tomb of Alex's parents was a little far away.It took them an hour before they arrived.

Now it was Ella's turn to follow Alex until the two had arrived at the two tombs side by side. The tomb looks clean, because it is a private cemetery and there are people who take care of this tomb every day so the tomb looks clean.

"So the tomb of Alex's parents is also side by side." Ella's inner.

"It's Papa's grave and it's Mama's tomb" Alex said, referring to the two tombs.

"Let's pray." invite Ella who has sat first followed Alex.

Seeing Ella the wife who was so memorized chanting verses Quran for both parents makes Alex very embarrassed.

What kind of a child is this? even since both of his parents died, Alex has never been here to visit or pray for them.

Alex must feel lucky and grateful to have a wife like Ella.

"Ma...Alex here to see Alex's wife, her name's Ella." Alex's voice was heard in front of the graves of his parents. "Ella Alex's wife Papa Ma's choice.he's good Ma. Doain us yes Ma. hopefully always lasting and soon Mama and Papa will have a grandson, will have a grandson, Papa and Mama are happy there." said Alex who made Ella did not expect Alex would say it in front of her and in front of the graves of Alex's parents.
