"Hopefully tomorrow I can save you Syakila.

In the morning Gunawan, Ria, Lula and Bu Sari are already in the car to go to the village where the family of Bu Astri, will soon be arriving.

But when about to enter the yard of the house, Mbah Gundala was sitting on the front bench of the house staring in the front like he was waiting for someone.

"Maybe he already knew that Ms. Astri's body will be there soon"., thought Ria while staring at Mbah Gundala.

"Mas, he said when did the ambulance get here?". asked Ria to Gunawan, because Gunawan had just called the Police Chief to ask that.

"If the calculation is not long after we arrive then the ambulance also reaches the deck". replied Gunawan already wanted to stop the car on the side of the road because they have arrived, just walk a little forward.

Everyone seemed to be busy with his activities to prepare to welcome the arrival of Astri thought they were.

When all was almost entered led by Sari's mother who said greetings, Ria's steps stopped after realizing something.why Bu Sari passed Mbah Gundala without greeting.

Ria closed her mouth and immediately he turned towards Gunawan who was still behind, he was left behind because he had to park the car properly earlier.

Gunawan who saw Ria turned to face her with a face of shock and looks her tears that almost fell immediately came to Ria and held her shoulder, Ria's body shook her tears spilled.

With a cry as unwilling as Ria wanted to say something that might make Gunawan no less surprised, but Ria did not have time to tell him not long heard the sound of ambulances entering the yard of the house.

Gunawan already embraces Ria's body from the side, Gunawan thinks surely this is not easy for Ria.

Ria saw Astri smiling towards her following where her body was carried by several families who were waiting at home.

Ria grew sobbing when she saw Mbah Gundala rise to welcome the arrival of his daughter who for 35 years was awaited.

But this time they actually met, hugging each other with Astri who was already sobbing in his father's arms.

"Mr, forgive Astri. Astri has made you wait for Astri's return for a long time.

"Nothing nduk, the important thing is that you have come home.delighted father is still given the opportunity to see you and go together, all this time I survived just to be able to see you home". mbah Gundala.

"Ria thank you very much, if it wasn't for you maybe I could never go home, meet with my father and go together. Thank you very much". Astri said while holding his father's arm.

"Thank you so much, Ria, you brought my son home. You have calmed down if you have to leave this world now". said Mr. Gundala with a smile to see his favorite daughter who is now with him.

Ria could only nod and sob next to Gunawan who was still embracing him, although he did not understand why Ria nodded as if talking to someone.

"You take care of Ria, may your kindness be countered by God Almighty. We leave". Astri said then walked by following Mbah Gundala walking towards the bright light at the end there.

"They go mas, towards the light". said Ria still sobbing, Gunawan confused who was meant by them.

Gunawan pulls Ria into his arms, hoping his girl finds a place for him to pour out all his grief, although he still doesn't understand who Ria means to them.

"Mas Gunawan, Ria, he said the bodies will soon be sholatkan.you will join in soliciting Ms Astri and Mbah Gundala not.

Ria quickly released herself from Gunawan's embrace, she was completely unconscious with all that because of which Ria knew she just wanted to spill her cries earlier.

"I'm coming". Said Ria who had brought equipment for her prayers.

Now Gunawan understands who is meant by Them by Ria just now, but he has not entered the house but Ria already knows that Mbah Gundala is also home.

"Let's go in together". Gunawan said later.

Ria and Lula also walked together, seen Bu Lastri and Bu Sari had strengthened each other in the corner there and when he saw Ria into the house the cry of Bu Lastri broke again.

Ria immediately stepped towards Bu Sari and hugged the woman's body, she stroked the shoulder of Bu Lastri who had sobbed on her shoulder.

"Mom, Mbah had gone with Ms. Astri, said Mbah she had calmed down because she had gone with the child she had been waiting for, so I hope the mother is sincere.

Bu Lastri then looked at Ria's face, he nodded his head while wiping away the tears on his cheeks as well trying to smile softly.

"Mom, where is Eang Uti?". asked Ria looking for a wife from Mbah Gundala.

"There is in the room nduk, you just go inside". said Bu Lastri pointed towards the room.

Lula sat next to Bu Sari while waiting for the time to pray together.

"Eang Uti". said Ria after entering the room and giving greetings, she sat right in front of the old woman who had earlier embraced a photo of her husband and daughter who today will be buried.

There were no tears on his face, although he was very sad and lost.

"Nduk, Lastri has told everything the same Mbah. thank you very much nduk. because you Mbah Gundala can go quietly, he has been harboring sadness and longing for his daughter. hopefully they meet together there yes". said Eang uti while holding Ria's hand.

"Eang take it easy, Tadi Ria saw Mbah Gundala and Bu Astri go together". said Ria made eang Uti to breathe a sigh of relief because her daughter and husband were together, just waiting for his turn which will also surely follow.

"Mom, let's pray the corpse together before we buried it later.

Eang Uti nodded, Ria quickly embraced Eang Uti's body to take out the ablution water and joined the others.

After a while they were already in the tomb, Mbah Gundala and Bu Astri buried 1 burrow.

Bu Lastri already looks calmer embracing Eang Uti who looks no less rigid, his, Gunawan has also finished helping to put the body into the burrow earlier with the men who were also there.

Now he was standing next to Ria who was still staring at the tomb, "Let's go back to Bu Lastri's house to help with Ria's study, let Eang Uti and the others here, let's go, maybe soon they will also go home". Gunawan said holding Ria's hand and took her step slowly.

Not without reason Gunawan took Ria away from the funeral, Gunawan fear Ria why-not there because since then he always daydream.
