THE UNIVERSE IS FOLLOWING US
CHAPTER 67

One Week later

A woman in her 50s stands on the porch of her house. Looks a variety of plants that await the intake of the woman. Now he stands in front of the plant while holding a hose.

With Mak Wiwit who often helps him at home. Since Johan died, Salma invited Mak Wiwit to live with him.

Mak Wiwit is a one-child widow. He was not far from Salma. Mak Wiwit's son is married and follows her husband. Mak Wiwit's husband died when his son was still Junior High. Since Johan opened the factory in Lembang, Mak Wiwit has been working at Johan's residence as a domestic assistant. Only until five in the afternoon Mak Wiwit working hours.

"With,"

"Yes, ma'am."

"That's the paper flower if something withers in the cut. Let it look pretty." Salma turned off the water tap.

"Yes, Mom." Mak Wiwit did what his master told him.

"Thank God, Wit. Soon Juna will be with us again. I can't wait for that time to come."

"Yes, mom. Thank God that Juna can be with family. I'm glad that den Juna is still alive."

"Wit, I think I want to cook Juna's favorite gudeg. try to check in the kitchen, whether there are ingredients."

"Emang den Juna wants to go home now?"

"There was no word from them when they would return here. He said after the wedding he'd be home."

"Wedding, ma?" Ayu immediately replied to hear the word marriage.

"What do you mean, ma? is sister Juna going to remarry the woman there?"

"Mama doesn't know, Yu. Mama only heard the news from Awan, the man who told her about Arjuna's whereabouts."

"Oh my God, how can I explain to Dira about this. The death of Brother Juna alone has made Dira down. Especially this?" Ayu still set her mental.

"Yes, hopefully not as we think, son. You know Dira and Juna struggle is not easy. You do not forget, how your brother fought for Dira until he had to be kicked out of the house. Mama believes your sister's not like that."

"Yes, ma. I don't face Dira anymore if it's true that Brother Juna has another wife."

"Ma, a few days ago Dira called if tomorrow Thursday we were asked to go to Jakarta. The wedding before Kak Feri. We'll go there the day after."

"Mama's not coming, son. Who knows if your brother's coming home, we're not home."

"Yes too, yeah. Then why didn't he tell us when to go home? if I think it's all wrong." grumbled ayu.

"Mother just go, if den Juna comes home there will be me."

"I miss Juna, Wit. That's why I can't wait to see my son."

When parents are away from children, there is certainly a deep sense of longing. Various ways are done by parents to treat longing with the child. Expressing a sense of kangen to the child, certainly can make the heart become more peaceful.

especially when the child who was declared dead was still alive. There was an expression of happiness and gratitude for Salma.

Not only Salma, Ayu was happy if the brother would come back. Gathering with his extended family. The mother and son imagined the meeting. That moment will soon arrive.

Adzan ashar also roared. Both Salma and Wiwit left their jobs. Facing the khalik to fulfill his obligations.

"In a moment we will arrive in Lembang, brother" said Awan who brought his rental car.

Juna thinks Dira must be among his extended family. He heard from the Clouds that Dira was his legal wife. He must have guessed that his wife knew of his arrival. It was like a dream to go home and have a big family.

"Juna's father is crying?" jimmy's voice breaks Juna's daydream.

"No, son. Juna's father was just a flicker of dust." said Juna.

" Juna's father touched Jimmy, he was impatient to meet non Dira." said Awan.

"Dad Juna and Aunt Dira what's dating?" answer Jimmy plain.

"Eh, you're a kid already know the same dating?"

"Yes, like Aunt Uti and Thomas. If I see a shy cat."

"That's right, ma'am" said the Cloud to Ms. Halimah who was sitting in the back with Mr. Rohim.

"Mom don't know, Sandi. The Uti never came to men. If Thomas likes Uti, mother is no problem. You, Dodi, Thomas and Iggar have been together since childhood. So it's like a child."

"Father disagrees with Thomas. Our son can get the better of Thomas. It's not about Thomas it's good. But Uti's still a long future."

"Sir, throughout my stay with you, Uti never talked about a couple. But if there's a connection, Uti and Thomas are okay."

"Mother's afraid it'll turn out to be something ..."

"I'm sorry, Mom. Because of my behavior you are taking shame." said Sandi.

The car has entered the tea plantation in Lembang. Beautiful tea garden with cool air around the plantation area. Beautiful scenery with clean and awake environment. Tea plantations have a natural beauty that is very instagramable. Offering natural tourist destinations tea plantations with beautiful panorama.

The place is quite easy to reach. To reach the location it is recommended to use private vehicles such as cars and motorcycles.

This is to facilitate the use of the track due to poor road conditions. Roads are rocky and if the rainy season the roads are muddy and also slippery.

"You got the place, man?" Naura.

"I was here four years ago. I wish the path had not changed. I was afraid to be confused because it was so long ago. But it turns out here

hasn't changed. That factory's got a Johan package" Sandi pointed at the big building not far from their position.

Juna directly got down from the car. inhaling the fresh air from the expanse of tea plantations. His feet stepped into the plantation area.

"I lkalaaaaang!" her screeches.

"I thought I was home! I miss you!" he said in his heart.

"Sir, said Jaka non Dira is in Jakarta" said Sandi approached Juna.

"So, are we going to Jakarta?"

"Didn't you miss your family?"

"I miss them of course."

"We've gone home to sister Juna's house, first." invite Sandi.

A Dutch heritage-style house becomes the next sight. His feet stood on a fence adorned with vines. Her tears were dripping as if Dejavu was greeting her again.

Juna walked into the yard. With a trembling heart he stepped up to stand in front of the door.A middle-aged woman stood in front of him. The woman's voice called him.

"Yamaoooooooo!"
