Not Just a Dream

Not Just a Dream
The tomb


"No evidence found, sir. It was purely a fire caused by electricity." Jerry told Bagas what the police had said. 


The investigation was conducted for almost a day. However, there were no suspicious signs. At the scene of the crime there was nothing found other than the debris of the building which has now become ash. 


Bagas loosens the tie. From the rising of the sun to the sinking there is on the verge of anxiety and fear. Because, since this morning, Renata did not tell him. 


"Where are you, Re? I need you."


Long life, just a few seconds expected, the girl opened the door of Bagas room. 


A widened smile adorned Renata's lips as she saw Bagas sitting leaning against the sofa. 


Bagas moved and hugged his fiancee. Right now it was only that could make him able to stand upright. 


"I'll excuse you" said Jerry, who wouldn't bother them. 


Bagas placed his chin on Renata's shoulder. Decompose the longing that this day is stirring. 


I cannot be sad, pity Bagas. He's been in a lot of trouble, and I can't burden him.


Renata rubbed her tears that had escaped. 


"Where have you been? I miss." 


 Renata continued to smile even though her heart was slashed over what had happened at the cafe. At least, it was the only way to cheer Bagas up. 


"I'm sorry, Mas. I'm busy today, I have a lot to take care of." 


"No papa, the important thing is that you come back, don't stay with me." Plead with all my heart. 


The twilight was very beautiful, but not as beautiful as the hearts of lovers who now carry a heavy burden. 


Just like Bagas who has not found a bright spot, in the cafe has not found anyone who deliberately wants to drop it. For a few days the place was closed. 


"Mas, we eat yuk! I'm hungry." 


Renata placed the bag of crackles hanging in her hand on the table, then pulled the chair to sit down. 


"I'm afraid you'll leave me like Melinda did."


Renata opens her food and feeds Bagas. Do not want to dissolve in the sadness that now covers him. 


"I won't leave you, just calm down. The phone told me to sleep at home."


A steak of rice entered Bagas' mouth. 


"Why should it be in my aunt's house, it should be in my house." 


Renata clenched her lips curtailing laughter at Bagas' exact behavior that the children asked for candy.


"Later I'll sleep in your house forever, but don't be surprised, when I sleep I like to kick around."


"But I prefer, usually the shady ones are passionate," replied Bagas ignorantly. 


They laugh out loud. Forgetting for a moment the problems that hit. 


"How was the cafe today?"


Uhuk 


Renata choked on the rice that had just been swallowed. He was surprised by Bagas' question. 


How about this, should I be honest if the cafe is closed, but pity Bagas, surely he was sad to hear this news. 


"Re, you heard me, right?" Patting Renata's arm that looked dumb. 


"I—-iya, Mas. I heard, really," Renata replied intermittently. Sipping water then looked at Bagas with a glaring look. 


"What's wrong?" Bagas repeated his question. 


"No papa, I just don't want to talk about work. It's night after all, time for us to rest. Tomorrow accompany me to my father and mother's graves, will you?" 


Renata switched the conversation. Still can not bear to share complaints with the lover. 


Mentari is not yet published. Morning dew is still adhering to the leaves. Cold weather slaps skin. However, Liam's grandfather was already at a public funeral. Unceasingly tears flooded his already wrinkled cheeks. Deep regret felt. At the end of his life, he found a very surprising fact. Beside those two mounds of earth, Liam's grandfather cried as he pleased. His hands were stroking a tombstone bearing the name Reno Nicholas. 


"Why did you precede me? I should have died first" he said. The world cursed him. Has everything, but cannot see his only child forever. 


Akio approached, sat behind Grandpa Liam and spread out his arms, always wary of Grandpa Liam's weakened condition. 


"Mondi, call this gravekeeper, get him here!" grandpa Liam's word on his bodyguard. 


"Good, Sir."


Five minutes later, the old man carrying a broom approached Liam's grandfather, who was still sitting next to the tomb. He is Mr. Imin. 


"What's up, Mister?" ask Mr. Imin kindly. 


Despite not knowing Grandpa Liam, the man knew that the people in front of him were not random people. On the look of his clothes already showed a sign of nobility. 


Grandfather Liam stood up, his eyes fixed on the sprinkling of new-looking flowers. 


"Is anyone here often?" ask Grandpa Liam enthusiastically. Her heart clang with a bouquet of flowers leaning against the tombstone. 


"Yes, Sir. Almost every day there are two people here, but I don't know who. They just gave me money and asked to take good care of this tomb ." 


Maybe it's Naomi's family, but she's not here either. 


"How old is he?" asked Grandpa Liam, getting curious. 


"The chick may be about twenty-two years old, while the male may be about twenty-seven years old, sir." 


What might this not be my son Reno's tomb, what might their names just happen to be the same. 


"Akio," call Liam's grandfather.


"Yes, Sir."


"Are you sure this is Reno's tomb, my son." Grandpa Liam made sure again. 


"See from the date of birth and the names are all the same, sir. But if you need more evidence, we can dismantle this tomb." 


Grandpa Liam shook his head quickly. 


"Did you know where Reno and Naomi lived before she died?" asked Liam's grandfather again, increasingly curious about Reno's life while in Indo. 


"The house Mr. Reno occupied is said to have been sold, sir. But we haven't been there yet." 


"Then we go there now, I want to know everything about Reno during her stay here." 


Grandpa Liam passed by leaving the tomb. Carrying an incurable wound. 


After Grandpa Liam's car disappeared down the road. Bagas' car from the opposite direction stopped in front of the tomb gate. 


"Where did you sleep last night?" 


Bagas removed the seat belt and took the glasses from the dashboard. 


"I can't sleep, don't know why, maybe because of a lot of trouble, Mom." 


Bagas exhaled slowly. "I'm already sincere. Hopefully with this I become a more resilient person and fear nothing." 


Renata only responded with a small smile. 


After getting out of the car, Renata follows Bagas in. They traveled through each tomb to the resting place of Renata's parents. 


"Morning, sir," said Bagas and Renata in unison. 


As usual, Mr. Imin nodded kindly. Seeing Bagas and Renata praying, reminiscent of a figure who had just left. Mr. Imin approached Renata and looked behind him. 


"Non, Den, there were just a few people to this tomb. Looks like it's also from a rich family, what's it his brother non and Aden?" ask mr. Imin. 


Renata furrowed his brows. His father never told him about his family or brother, while his mother only had a brother, an aunt.
