MELODY LOVE DEA AND MARVEL
MARVEL'S CHANGE OF ATTITUDE

(POV AUTHORITY)

Almarhumah nek Diah was only a week in his house, after exactly seven days of his departure they agreed to bury Nek Diah in a tomb that had been prepared by the family.

Nek Diah was put in a crate on the third day of his death, after which the customary event began. In the village where Dea lives, if someone dies, the traditional funeral process will be carried out.

There are many things that are done in the customary procession, so many people are involved.

On the day of Diah's funeral, many people took her to her new home. Because the personality of Grandpa Diah who likes to help others does not care if he is also a person who is in trouble to make it loved and in displeased by many people.

Some people who had been helped by Diah during his life were very surprised when they heard the news of Diah's death. Even some who live outside the city took the time to come to the gathering of Nel Diah.

For a week the whole family of Grandpa Diah gathered in the house, so that the house felt not so lonely. Two days after Diah's funeral, one family left the house of Diah's mother, father and brothers and sisters.

''Are you going home today too?'' Dea asked as she drove her family out of the house.

''Yes son, there is a lot of work that you have to finish in the village'' said David's father as he rubbed Dea's head.

''But you will come often, right?''

''Yes son, I try ya'' said David's father who makes Dea feel dissatisfied. He knew it was just a word from his father.

''Let's leave the sun is high, the children are also sleepy'' said Dea's mother half yelled from the top of the car.

''Yes. Dea, I'm going home first yes you're fine with aunt here''

''Yes yah''

Dea hugged her father before he actually came home.

''Daddy, mom be careful on the road'' Dea said waving as the car had started to slowly leave the yard of Diah's house.

The father just nodded while the mother was silent without a word, even he did not want to look at Dea. Marvel, who had noticed Dea, was heartbroken over Dea's mother's treatment.

''It's so sad that you love, even looking at you your mother reluctantly'' muttered Marvel. She felt tightness in her chest every time she saw Dea's mother's treatment of her daughter.

''Silver'' Dea said when she found Marvel standing in front of the house.

''Baby, what's up?''

''What are you doing here? Why daydream?''

''It's okay, baby, I found you, you are here. Oh right, are you home yet?'' Marvel asked, he deliberately did not tell Dea if he had been there since, he wanted to keep the feelings of his lover.

''My brother, they just got home. Where's aunty?''

''An aunt is in the room, baby, is resting. We'd better not disturb auntie first, pity she must be tired''

''Yes brother. Didn't my sister come home either? Kasian mama nyariin''

''No dear, even my mother told me to stay here for a few more days''

''Thank you brother'' Dea said staring at Marvel.

''Thank you for what, baby?''

''For everything, I and bi Tina don't know what to do if there's no sister here''

''Brother did this all for sister's family, no need to thank you''

''Dear, your mother was the one who was watching before she came home''

''Thank goodness then. Brother also rest I want to clear the page first'' Dea said with a smile.

''Well, my dear smile do not be sad continue, remember there is an aunt we must take care of''

''Yes kak''

''Let's clean this page'' Marvel took the sack and then began picking up the remains of smpah that are still in the yard. Dea also did the same, he took a broomstick and began sweeping the courtyard of the house.

From inside the bedroom window, bi Tina noticed Dea who started smiling, she was relieved that her voice could finally smile after being moody these few days.

''Thank God, you have returned a smile on my Dea'' said bi Tina looking at Dea from the window of her room.

(DEC POV)

A few months have passed since the departure of my grandmother, now I have started to return to my usual activities.

Although sometimes I will be sad if I remember the memories with my grandmother in this house, but I try to be strong for the sake of aunt. I know aunt was devastated by grandmother's departure because grandmother was the only parent she had in her entire life.

My daily activities have returned as when my grandmother was alive, vegetables also re-decorate the garden that is behind the house. Kiosk that used to be guarded by grandma is now bi Tina who takes care of it, we add several types of goods to be sold at the kiosk.

Bi Tina also seems to have gotten used to the absence of grandma, although sometimes I see her crying silently while hugging a photo of grandma.

This morning was like the morning in general me and my aunt started picking vegetables, chili and tomatoes for us to sell at the stall. Although where we live does not include big cities, not many people want to bother growing vegetables and it is an advantage for me and bi Tina.

Neighbors and people who knew us all bought vegetables at our stall. There were even some traders from the market who ordered vegetables on us, me and bi Tina were getting excited for gardening.

Every time I go home from school, I and bi Tina will be busy with activities in the garden, whether it is to make new land, or to plant or to harvest the results. Sometimes Mr. Marvel comes and helps me with my aunt.

Speaking of Mr. Marvel, I felt like there was something strange about him, whether it was just my feelings or he changed. Although we still meet often but his attitude and behavior has begun to change not as warm as before.

Like this afternoon when my aunt and I were in the garden, Mr. Marvel came but just came to see and went straight home. If normally he would sit down or even help me and auntie, but this time he just really came to see and went straight home.

My aunt and I were surprised by the behavior of Mr. Marvel, even aunt had thought that we were fighting.

''What's with Mr Marvel De? Why is his behavior so strange?''

''I don't know bi, I'm also confused'' said I keep picking chili even though my mind has been filled by Mr. Marvel.

''Oh, you guys didn't fight, did you?''

''No koq bi, maybe Mr. Marvel is busy''

''Thank God then'' said the aunt again picked the chili and put it in a plastic bag.

After we felt that enough chili had accumulated, my aunt and I decided to take a break. While sitting in front of the house while eating fried yams, Tiwi ma'am came to me and bi Tina.

''Neng Dea has no one bought it yet?''

''Not yet mom, do you want to?''

''Yes, I want everything. That's how many kilos all neng?''

''Lacking to know ma'am, let it weigh first'' said I began to take the scales from inside the house.
