Tone of Nara
Chapter 15 Pradipta and July (Part 3)

After the funeral, I took care of everything about Nada's death. From the police to insurance. Apparently Papa and Mama bought a big enough insurance for Nada. The police would

kuajak cooperation. With people in, connections from LC and Franco, Nada's death case could be closed immediately that day without further investigation. Even that day was also the case and news was closed, as if the accident had never existed in the outside world. In the police report, Nada's death was considered a fatal accident due to road conditions and the inability of the driver to control the car, to the death. A complete mistake on the slippery road because of the rain that night. That way the insurance also does not suspect anything when I withdraw the policy. Pretty big, I could use a trip to Europe with my girlfriend, like July wanted a long time ago.

The insurance money itself can't go straight out, so I'm not talking to anyone. Only Mom could ask me when she came to me in the room, after the insurance office. That's why I had to split a little bit of that money for my mother and my two sisters. But they also don't know how much money I earned. I didn't say it honestly. If they knew, I'd be sure they'd ask for more.

What about Mama? Mama didn't ask me about the insurance money at all. Even I don't think Mama thought of that at all. Every day he just sat staring at pictures of Nada, cooking in the kitchen and talking to Sandra. In addition to attending a prayer ceremony commemorating the death of Nada which we held three days in a row, Mama did nothing at home. For cleaning, mom called the guy she paid to do it, replacing Nada. According to my mother, He and my two sisters will not be able to do Nada's work all this time. That's why my mom asked me to hire a housekeeper who would clean the house. I agree with Mom's proposal. But for the kitchen, my father asked my mother and my two sisters to do it. As long as there is a mama and Sandra, it seems they are the ones who finish the kitchen.  Mama herself was in the residence of Hermawan until the third day.

The business of Nada's suicide letter is also agreed if it is not published or notified to anyone. Only my family, Mama and Sandra know. Can't leak to anyone. Of course I use excuses, for the good of Nada's name.

Mother, Prita and Pipit are already mediocre. Even they began to be able to talk about the legacy of the many Nada happily.  It seems, in my family, that only Father is truly mourning the passing of Nada. I really love my wife. According to the father, it was Nada who had been taking good care of herself when she was sick. Even better than his own wife and children. My mother was not a good wife. Since living in the residence of Hermawan, many mothers hang out with prominent mothers whose work is only arisan, gossip, get-togethers and shopping. Forgetting his duties as a wife and housewife. That's what Dad said. Dad once said that mom changed a lot after living in the Hermawan residence. However, Dad could not be too long struggling with sadness for taking care of his business. Although after this day and so on, father still always took the time to take care of and clean the tomb of Nada.

Me? Of course I'm ordinary. I enjoyed the holiday of mourning my wife's death with a break at home, a night out at the club with my friends for comforting myself for my wife's death and playing with women, because Juli's not being able to see me so I can't be suspected by anyone else. This choice we take considering that July was highlighted by the media and Nada had viral problems with him some time ago. If the media sees Juli in our house, or July with me in mourning because my strife has died, then there could be a scandalous issue. With the scandal, Juli's image will deteriorate and affect her career. Mom, Prita and Pipit are organizing all things related to July. Tonight July told me she was coming home. That's why at lunch the mother urged Mama to immediately go home to Bandung. In fact, I think Mama a little evicted Mama by saying that from now on, this house is Mother's house. Mama who is very bad can only cry. After the three-day prayer of Nada's death, Mama returned home with Sandra. Akirnya Mama approved all the wills of Nada and signed it. From now on Mama will not interfere in Nada's assets, including the Hermawan residence and the Restaurant in Jakarta.

On the third day of Nada's death, I sat in the gazebo with my mother and two sisters. Dad just left to take Mama to Bandung and then busy with the restaurant. The four of us enjoyed tea and cake the rest of Nada's three-day memorial service. We're talking about Tone's tragic death. More precisely, Mother, Prita and Pipit were discussing about Nada and her tragic death. They said about some of the vices of the tone that somehow made me feel uncomfortable. Especially when they laugh at the shape of the body and style of the Tone that difficulties due to shape and weight. In the conversation, Nada's suicide will e-mail appeared as a talking point. Pipit said he was somewhat surprised why the will killed him by e-mail, not handwriting left in the room, for example. Or, given Nada's habit of making videos, why the will is not a videotape.  They also talked about when Nada thought about suicide and why. Although before the incident, Nada looked sad and did not come out of the room, but on the day of the incident, Nada looked good. He looks excited and has done his job.

Somehow, I felt the presence of Nada. Mom stood up for a while and peered into the front room, as Prita and Pipit laughed out loud as a result of the joke about Nada.  How creepy. Impossible though

the ghost of Nada was among us. Doesn't there not exist ghosts? My mom and I looked at each other and huddled. To relieve the discomfort, I involved myself with Pipit and Prita's talk about Nada's silliness in his lifetime. Both of my sisters teased me that marrying a swollen elephant as a man does not sell . Of course I don't accept. I know, our insults to the already-defunct tone might be a little inappropriate, but we did get carried away. I also started talking about Nada's will. Mom wants Nada jewelry. My two sisters also asked me for a part. I said myself that I would build a house for July on Nada's estate, not far from our house.

Pipit with sparkling eyes said, am I going to build that house to live with Juli after marriage? I said on the pipit, it's a gift house for July. If married, maybe me and Juli will stay at the Hermawan residence. I also express the happiness that exists at this time, no longer need to be silent to return to Indonesia. I am happy that I no longer have to hide my presence in Jakarta. I'm happy I don't have to keep my relationship with Juli a secret. I am happy because I finally broke free from the pre-marital agreement with the Hermawan family. I can marry Juli, without losing Hermawan's treasure. Pipit, who was very close to July, proposed that Pradipta marry July immediately. However, this proposal was not approved by Prita.

“Don't mas, don't get married now. Wait a few months until people forget the tone. The problem is, Nada we say suicide because stress is too fat and ugly. We also said Tone of depression from the viral video with July. People can be suspicious later. Kak Juli again who can be affected and blamed

people. Better wait a minute for the best results. All of Nada's legacy is already in us. Later we find all his letters and immediately return the name to the Pradipta mas. Don't let Hermawan's wife take it,” said Prita. I think what Prita said was true. Whether you get married or not, it makes no difference. I can do anything with Juli without getting married. Though July asked us several times when we were getting married. But delaying until a year of Nada's death, quite reasonable.
