THE WOMAN (END)
•68
"Mas Sandy sure you can drive?" I looked at him in disbelief. I tried many times to persuade him to rest at home. But not Mas Sandy his name if he easily complies.
"I've improved the tea. My stomach is also not sick. I'm still sleeping!" clearly while focusing on wearing safetybelt -nya.
"Where are we going?"
"Where, just not at home!" Mas Sandy drove her car right away from her big house.
"As for Sandy's letter. Sorry, I have been slow to read it" I suddenly said. I didn't want to tell him I saw the contents of the letter, but I'm not comfortable because I didn't ask him for permission.
"I used to write that letter every year after their departure, and I always kept it on their graves.I know this is ridiculous, but I always believed if they could read it." sandy stared far ahead.
"So? did Sandy want to take this letter there now?"
"Teh Alis don't mind if I meet my parents early?" the god glanced at me for a moment.
Although I knew that all we would meet was the grave of her parents, but somehow I was so moved because Sandy wanted to take me there. not everyone is allowed to visit this place.
"I don't mind at all. I just feel honored. could visit the tomb of father and mother mas Sandy."
"Papa sama will definitely love Eyebrow tea.they are very good!" He half whispered.
I put on a smile because I blushed. It felt like I was going to visit my girlfriend's parents' house.
We arrived in front of an elite cemetery. Even the parking lot is very wide.the gate to the cemetery was guarded by two security people.
"Good morning sir!" mas Sandy greeted the two security while holding my hand down every cemetery which dominated by white marble bone and gray.
I stared in amazement around me. The first time I entered a cemetery even this cemetery looks more comfortable than my own home.
While busy watching around, my steps stopped because of shock.
"We've arrived?" I asked Sandy who suddenly stopped. But immediately I was shocked when I saw the figure of Bu Ayu standing not far from us.
Her clothes were all black with a veil dangling behind her beautiful hair. It is possible that Ms. Ayu also just finished making a pilgrimage to the cemetery.
"You guys?" Bu Ayu looked in shock at us. especially at me. especially when she saw how tightly Sandy grasped my hand.
I was downcast and tried to release the grip of Sandy's hand, but in vain. It seems like Sandy was deliberately unwilling to release her hand from me.
"What did auntie do?" Sandy looked at him dislikeingly.
"Hate anything you have on me. I am still your aunt! and Alex will still be my older brother!" he stepped forward past the two of us.
I can't say anything for now. After all, this is a personal matter for their families, but it feels very uncomfortable because I am always between two people who are in a feud. Bu Ayu must have been very surprised to see my presence with Sandy. But luckily he didn't question me and left us.
Sandy again stepped forward along the burial plots, and in the end we arrived in front of two tombs that looked clean and green. there is a glass jar in which there are letters that Sandy wrote every year.
Has Bu Ayu ever read those letters before? I was curious about all the letters.
Mas Sandy stood long enough to stare at the two mounds of earth that buried the bodies of his parents.
"Assalamualaikum Ma, reward.. Sandy's coming again!" He then asked me to sit by the side of the tomb.
Mas Sandy opened the jar and put her 'love letter' into the jar.
"Did aunt Ayu complain to you again? Comeon! don't trust aunty Ayu too much!" chirping.
"Ma, this is the letter that Sandy wrote last night.I'm sorry if the writing is bad.Sandy's head got a headache last night, but Sandy's sure you two can understand it." Sandy smiled thinly.
"Oh yeah, like Sandy promised me mom and dad. Sandy's gonna bring the woman Sandy likes, ma. You see? she's so pretty!" obviously looking at me.
"Sandy hope you guys will bless our relationship.she's a good woman ma! she also takes care of Sandy sincerely!" he said with all his heart.
"Mas Sandy don't overdo it!" my whisper feels bad.
"Mama see, right? she's very shy." her god.
We were both like fools who were drunk.Talking at things we realized would not get any response, but seeing Sandy can smile while doing it makes me feel a little relieved. at least he has a place to tell stories even on inanimate objects. Because in fact telling stories to humans, will only cause new problems that we never even expected.
Long enough we 'chat' with both parents Sandy. eventually we decided to go home.
I see Sandy's face is not as pale as before. She even looks more cheerful.
"I'm sorry for the tea! am I like this?" I look at me doubtfully
I smiled, I rubbed his cheeks gently.
"I'm so happy that Sandy wants to share the world with me. It's more than enough,"
Mas Sandy was seen smiling widely, relieved to see our loved ones can smile without such burden.

PINGING!
The sound of incoming messages made me who was busy listening to music on the radio immediately reached my bag.
"Who?" Sandy looked slowly.
"My friend mas." I replied while focusing on seeing a message from Rahma.
#Olis, are you busy? can we meet at the usual place!!!"
The exclamation point of his message made me think badly of an instant.What happened to Rahma? it was not usual for him to send a message and ask to meet like this.
"Why? is there a problem?" ask Sandy who noticed the change in my expression.
"Mas, can I ask you a favor?" I stared at Sandy doubtfully
"Sure! why?"
"Mas Sandy can take me to the orchid garden?" my door.
"Say why? what's up?" anxious urges.
"It looks like my friend is in trouble again.I have to meet him now!" obviously
"Okay.we're there now!"
Sandy turned the wheel quickly to where I asked for it.
