THE UNIVERSE IS FOLLOWING US
CHAPTER 47

Sometimes we are too busy lamenting the pain of a failed love affair. In fact, it is nothing with a sense of loss that comes when our loved ones are called back into His arms.Kata ‘sadih’ does not adequately describe it. There are also regrets and dozens of haunting questions in the head. For a moment, we were not the people we used to know. The prayers we pray flow faster. Crying suddenly became a familiar thing to do.

The only thing we know is that the people we love are not coming back. Sooner or later, we have to force ourselves to get over this reality. It's not easy to do that. But remember: those who leave us will be happy if we do not fall forever.

After Dira all night locked himself in the room. Mama Dewi just finished an online meeting with her staff. Mama is still waiting for her daughter to come out of the room, but there are no signs yet. Heavy breathing relief from women aged five heads. He didn't realize Feri was touching his shoulder. The Spontaneous Goddess leaned her face towards her son.

"Sorry, mom. Feri knows now is still in a difficult time for Dira. Feri was once in the position of Dira, where Meyra died with our future baby. Where a lot of regret is whack."Feri said to his mother while taking a seat near the seat of Mama Dewi.

"It's not easy for every couple that dies. It takes time and not just a year or two. Long, ma. Moreover, Juna is Dira's first love."

The loss of a life partner - both husband and wife - must be a very hard reality for everyone.Either the death occurs because of a sudden event, or because of pain that has been experienced in a long time. One day someone got married. However, at the same time, they must also be ready if one day abandoned by the couple.

Feri knows what it's like to lose someone he loves. Ferries also take a long time to heal wounds in the liver. Although Mayka tried to approach him, Feri had no effect. He honors Mayka as his late wife's sister. He hasn't said yes or no when Mr. Amran asked him to marry his sister-in-law. His heart was moved when he met Martina. The girl he was chasing after in High School.

The flashback

A few days ago Feri and Tina met at a famous cafe. Feri is happy that Tina is no longer inferior when invited to meet. The two sat looking at each other. His name is also a man in a drunken romance.

"What's up, Tumben's taking me to eat here?" tina asked a little astonished.

"Can't we meet here?" sahut Ferries.

"It's not okay, but I'm now working with Alif. Where dare I ask out just to release your kangen. I could be fired later. If the office belongs to Alif, it's no problem. Alif also worked there. It's still a good thing the boss is willing to accept me as a staff there." said Tina who felt bad.

"Yes, sorry baby. I promise I'll take you out on weekends." Feri brandished his V-shaped hand.

"Frein..."

"Where's the mass?"

"Emmmmm...Mas .. Feri..I want to talk?" Tina tried to smile despite being forced. Feri knows his future wife's mood is not good.

"what's up, baby?"

"Anu..."

"Does this have anything to do with your family? sorry to mean Mrde Amran."

"No. It has nothing to do even if I really want them to come."

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Feri uh mas ferry, I want us to postpone our wedding plans."

Feri, who had a bright face, suddenly looked at Tina with a glance.

"Why? is it because we haven't been blessed by your boss? Is it because of Mayka? did Mayka say something to you? please, Na. We postponed the marriage twice. Back when Dira was still grieving I still understand. But now the reason is all else?"

"Sorry, Feri. Your mom went to my office last night. He asked us to postpone the wedding plans because Dira still needs time."

"Mama?" said Feri doesn't believe. "He said it was you?" Tina nodded.

"Because of Dira again?" add Feri half upset.

"Vira failed to get married because she was more focused on Dira. Mom wants to sacrifice me too. What does your mom want? it looks like Dira is ahead of both of us."

"Feri you don't get emotional. Mama is right, her condition is not possible to hold a wedding. You should be the big brother to strengthen Dira."

Feri raised his face in awe. When his eyes met his lover, he already felt something unhappy. Something that has ruined the mature plan.

Arriving at home Feri came to his mother in the dining room. It looks like Mama Dewi is having dinner alone without Vira or Dira. Feri asked where his two sisters were. Mama Dewi explained that her two sisters had eaten first before her mother came home from the office.

Feri talked about what Tina said. Mama Dewi apologizes to her son. Because the company is having trouble and Dira insists on traveling.

"I'm sorry mom, son. This once please understand the situation is not possible" said Mama Dewi when Feri expressed his disappointment.

"But, ma. I don't care if Dira doesn't want to come to my wedding. I understand that his condition is still like that. But please. Not the first of these plans in the retreat. But the second time."

"Mom knows, son. Mama talked to Tina to ask for her understanding. Mama wants to see you married. You've been through a lot. Mama just asked you to understand the situation. You are just delaying not breaking the relationship" said Mama Dewi.

Flashback off

This morning the mother of the Goddess woke up after hearing the chanting of Quranic verses from her room. Mama Dewi chose to sleep in the room with Vira because of Dira's ambush. All night long she heard Vira's story about her friend. Until the drowsiness ambushed him. Mama Dewi also fell asleep in the face of Vira's sour. How not, his eyes can be compromised again, while his youngest daughter is still engrossed in telling stories.

The time is 08:00. The sun is in the middle of the sky. The heat was already felt when it was still eight in the morning.

Dira came into his office. The office space is different from the old workplace. In the factory there are only fans, do not use AC. The study room also has a window, where there is a view of the sugarcane plantation.

Dira sat at his desk. There was a bouquet of flowers and a pack of food. She turned her head around to find out who was sending her flowers. No sender name. There is only speech

"Make your day strong. Don't forget breakfast."

Dira took a deep deep breath. You can guess who the food delivery is. Dira calls Retno to enter her room.

"Yes, Mom." Retno has entered Dira's room.

"It shares with our laborers one man one stalk. Let them work" said Dira giving up her bouquet of red roses.

"Kan for mom, why not just accept it and I keep it."

"I don't like red roses. I have no place to keep the roses. So you just share it with the others."

"Good, Mom." Retno left her superior room.

"Again busy, son." a baritone voice sounded in front of Dira's work door.

"lapsuma!" Dira runs to hug opa Han.

"I'm sorry opa, yes, son. Opa burdened you with this job. Opa is old, opa is confused looking for a successor to this factory. If opa no longer exists, the plan will sell opa."

"Why sell opa? it's not that opa pioneered this venture from below. Honey if it is sold. Educate the trust to help raise this factory again."

"Opa's hope is you and Vira. But if you're going to find someone and you're going to be with your husband, so is Vira."

"Opa, I'm not getting married again. For me, marriage is once in a lifetime. The man I love is only one man and will never be replaced."

"You need someone to stand by you one day, son, don't wait for something uncertain. Opa knows that you haven't moved on from Arjuna. But life goes on, son. Your future is long."

"Sorry, opa. As long as Mas Juna's body has not been found. I'm sure Mas Juna is still alive. Not expecting the uncertain. But my feeling is very strong, Opa. Opa can say I haven't moved on or anything. I still believe Mas Juna is alive.

If he were already gone. I'm not getting married again. I'll be loyal to my husband."

"And you do not desire to have children, Dira. You must not be like a widowed opa before you have offspring. Opa bestows affection on your mama as a responsibility to your grandfather. Hope you think again. Opa wants to see you have another partner, have children as successors."
