The Grave Pilgrimage
“Yes. I'm surprised you're still here, I think you're busy.” Saina said as she sat on an empty chair close to Arkan.
The man beside her spoke in thick Dutch and Saina said something in the same language, making Arkan smile at the man, then they shook hands.
Runa of course did not understand what they were talking about after that, they spoke more English and Dutch which he did not understand at all.
Saina explained that if the restaurant business in Amsterdam is fine, she deliberately went home because there was a sudden need. The last house left by his parents has now been sold, and the buyer wants a handover directly with him, a day later. But he had already told Erlan everything, only that the boy had not delivered the news to his Arkan—.
In addition, Saina will take care of the transfer papers she needs because she will settle down to be a citizen there.
His reason for moving citizenship is very strong, he already has a good business and there is a good man, who is willing to accept all his shortcomings and advantages with a free chest. The man, named John, is the only man who is serious about Saina and is willing to take her to the underwriting.
Of course Saina accepted it with pleasure. Moreover, the man is already quite well established and has a good job in the government office in Holland.
In addition, Saina's return is to make a pilgrimage to the tomb of Badri, a person who has contributed a lot to his life, he will visit the old man's grave even though it is very late.
She had no idea she was pregnant, and only realised that when she got on the plane she felt jetlag for the first time and got drunk. Therefore, she went to a special hospital for the mother and child to do an examination and did not expect to meet Arkan there.
“Alright, you guys are happy, I wish you guys a couple until death separates.” Arkan said with a straightforward and firm language so that Runa could hear and understand him.
“Yes. Thank you, for you too, I congratulate you, you will soon have children,” said Saina with a smile.
Runa said the same words, congratulated each other and hugged each other, not forgetting the two women apologized for what had happened in the past.
The meeting ended with a laugh between John and Arkan with a language that Runa did not understand, until the woman was just silent until they separated when entering their respective cars.
Arkan and Runa return home, while Saina goes to the tomb where Badri's body was buried.
*****
Arriving home, Arkan asks Hasnu to stop the car right in front of the terrace near the entrance, in order for Runa to easily get inside and the old man opened the car door for his large pregnant female employer. After which, he again closed the door and sat behind the wheel again to deliver his master back to the office.
Arkan deliberately asked Jas who became his driver if he was traveling with Runa, because the man would choose to relax and hug his wife in the back seat throughout the trip rather than driving.
He would talk to Runa even if all they talked about was just that. Often also she does something that is not important such as tidying up the veil of Runa that is neat. The pleasant sweet little things show care and affection, make Runa feel so loved, and that alone is enough.
Moreover, the desire of Hasnu who chose to become a driver if the Master and Madam would go both ways. Because, since Erlan studied abroad, Hasnu more silent at home, and his duties become lighter such as taking his wife to the market and to the supermarket shopping for the needs of the big house.
“Where are we going, sir? Office, restaurant or project location?” hasnu asked started the conversation as soon as their car reached the highway.
“We went to Dad's grave, there was Saina, she said she wanted to go there. Look, is he lying or not?”
After getting a clear order, Hasnu immediately drove his car at high speed to get to the destination.
Arkan asked Hasnu to park his car some distance from the parking lot used by pilgrims. They will just observe the situation, proving that Saina is not lying.
Maybe some people think that making sure what Saina does is not important, but for Arkan, the most important thing is honesty, because that attitude means a lot in the business world, and they are now involved in cooperation.
Shortly after Arkan parked the vehicle, she saw Saina and her future husband, who were about the same age as her, exit the cemetery. The scene shows that the girl is serious about appreciating Badri and his family who have helped him a lot.
Meanwhile Arkan contacts Erlan, he must know why his son did not contact him, even more so than they do not talk by phone.
“Dad! What's calling me?” erlan said from across the street as soon as she finished saying her regards.
Arkan was upset with his son who asked like that as if he did not feel guilty. This is the first time Arkan has been upset that Besides not coordinating well. While Erlan was too busy that day and it was completely unthinkable to say all about Saina's return to her father.
“Do you know Saina's home?”
“Ya.” Erlan answered his father's question briefly even seemed reluctant.
“Why didn't you say to Dad?”
“Dad, don't get mad, I didn't accidentally, Dad .. I just haven't said it yet, but where do you know?”
“Daddy met Saina earlier at the obstetrician?”
“What, obstetrician? Is she pregnant?”
“Where's Dad, know?”
“Oh, it could be that she is already pregnant, Dad! I'm busy Dad, so we'll have another chat later, huh?”
“When are you home?”
“Maybe next year!”
“Quickly go home when you're done, Dad is tired of visiting the girl!”
“Daddy, can you just be patient? I want to go home after I graduate.”
“Do you think I am impatient? He's been conscious of the coma!”
“Really?”
