One day before Alana's happy day, Alana's heart worries. How not, tomorrow he will marry Gara, all the preparations have been completed. Starting from the building and also Alana's clothes are ready and hung in her room.
It's just that makes his heart worried, yesterday morning, Alana got the news that the state of papa Galuh, getting worse until they had to fly to Singapore. Gara told Alana by phone because she had no time to come to the girl.
"I come, I want to accompany you when sad like this" said Alana was really sad and worried about the health of papa Galuh.
"Ga it is. Later you soy sauce, remember the day after we want to get married. At least tomorrow I'm back" said Gara. Alana can only take it off with prayer.
But to this day, there is no news from Gara. Tomorrow they'll get married, but where Gara is now Alana doesn't know. His three best friends had also tried to contact the handsome man, but still nothing worked.
Alana was almost desperate. Although not wanting to think of bad things happening to Gara to not give him the news, Alana was still afraid.
"Lo calm down, 'cause it's gonna be okay. Maybe he's busy doing his bokap. Singapore Jakarta does not take two hours, so you do not have to worry. Anyway tomorrow afternoon I pick you up, the event is still at 3 pm tomorrow afternoon, there is still time" said Dita calming Alana.
Asked to rest, Alana just can not sleep. Arlan had already transported Lily to their home, so that Alana could prepare herself for her happy day.
But until eleven o'clock tomorrow Gara did not also come to see him or give news. Alana is getting stubborn, fear will come back to attack him but still try to calm down. His eyes did not take a second to watch the turn of the wall needle.
When the house bell rang at 1 siang, Alana finally escaped the tightness of her worries. Can breathe with relief. Someone turned out to be Elrei who had no idea where her home address was.
"El.." Alana's surprised voice in the form of a hissing can still be heard El in her ear.
"Siang Al.sorry surprised you because of my sudden arrival"
"Ga papa El's. What are you doing here?" ask Alana wonder. In his heart guessed whether something bad happened, but the thought was on tepis, when El said the intention of his arrival.
"I came here to pick you up. Mama Rebi asked me to come pick you up" said the man with black eyes. El is so handsome with his blue dongker shirt.
"Oh.iya for a moment, I took all my equipment first" said Alana turned around, but El's hand held her arm.
"Ga and Al. Just there. You're just gini"
Alana's forehead wrinkled. What exactly happened? why would he have to go with these black jeans and this white tee shirt?
El's insistence to hurry quickly made Alana have no other choice. Maybe Mama Reni has prepared her needs there.
Although they had only seen the building they had rented for their wedding, Alana remembered the address, and the road they were heading to this time was far from the location of the building. Where will El take him?
Alana's body shuddered, El who raced the streets so they quickly arrived because it turned out to want to take her to the funeral. Alana's steps slowed down, while looking in the distance the group of people who were crying were each other.
"El.." Alana quit. She's afraid. His feet stopped without command. Elrei understood the fear that was attacking Alana, he stretched out his hand so that it could become the pedestal the girl walked on.
From the tombstone Alana can carry clearly the name of the owner. Galuh.
Mama Reni sat down with a flower basket on her lap. Right next to him was Gara, his lover who hugged the photo of Papa Galuh. There were also Gilang and Gala and cousins and relatives and friends who joined in crying to bring Papa Galuh to the navel.
But his steps stopped again. Her eyes caught a female figure that approached towards Gara and touched her shoulders, and she tried to calm the man's cries.
Alana looked at the woman. He doesn't know her at all. Some of Gara's female cousins he had seen at the Arisan event at Gara's house or at his Aunt El's house, but the girl was never there.
Seeing the closeness of both Alana guess, maybe this one cousin lives abroad, from the appearance of Alana guess.
The funeral was over and one by one people left the place. There are a few nuclear families. Alana did not want to hesitate anymore, approaching towards Mama Reni for the first time.
"Mama.." said Alana in a whisper.
Mama Reni turned her head towards the voice that called her name. "Al.you've come, baby.." Alana stretches her arms to receive the welcome of Reni's mother's embrace. The woman whose eyes had already looked puffy was trying to keep smiling at Alana.
"I'm sorry I just came now" he said.
"Thank you dear.ga papa. Papa Galuh has calmed down, no longer feeling pain"
Alana gave a quick glance at Gara, wanting to approach the man who looked very bad at the departure of the father Galuh, but mam Reni held Alana's hand until the girl returned her attention to mama Reni.
"You're with mom. Take a car with mom. We go home" pinta mama Reni who immediately nudged Alana agreed.
Hoping to get a car with Gara, in fact Alana is only with mama Reni and also Gala and a driver.
Everyone shut their mouths. Mama Reni put her head on Alana's shoulder and closed her eyes. Alana can only rub her wrists, trying to massage gently so that Mama Reni more relaxed.
The car carrying Alana and Reni's mother had already arrived at home. Alana's got Reni's mom to come in.
"Wanna go to the rest room?" ask Alana.
"Ga darling. On the sofa. We need to talk"
"Has it all arrived? your sister's arrived at La?" mama Reni asked Gala who had just entered the house.
"Not yet ma, any minute possible. I'll change my clothes first ma"
"I went to the kitchen to make a warm auntie tea" Alana said to the kitchen.
Just when he came out of the kitchen, Alana had found Gara entering the family room with Gilang and also the girl who had always been by Gara's side during the funeral.
"Thank you Al" said Mama Reni received the warm drink. "Sit down, son.."
"Ga." said Alana staring at Gara. The man's reaction invited a frown on Alana's forehead. The man glimpsed it with his own eyes and then lowered his head back.
What is this, God? why does Gara's gaze seem to hide something other than the sorrow of losing her papa?
