Love Vibrations

Inside the mortuary, Pendi's extended family's relatives were already busy. Their faces looked sad as they stood around Pendi's casket and turned their backs on several corpses that had been wrapped in shrouds lined up neatly at the side of the room.

Their faces are not from Indonesia, they come from European countries, to be more precise the extended Pendi family from the Netherlands. Pendi comes from the Netherlands with his real name Fedde, but in his Indonesian wife's tongue is very difficult to pronounce his real name and calls his name Pendi.

Fedde's extended family stood staring at Fedde's motionless body in the coffin. Fedde had been washed and was already wearing a black coat. Her pale face was swept by the corpse's makeup fingers. Showing the face of Pendi who was fast asleep.

Nadine's lips trembled, her eyes were wet and her soul was shaken violently when she saw Pendi's extended family from the Netherlands surrounding her father's body.

"I'm sure they will bring my father's body back to the Netherlands." Nadine thought and tears rolled down her cheeks, she couldn't bear to see Fedde's body being taken away to the Netherlands but she couldn't help it because Fedde was still a Dutch citizen.

Suddenly Nadine's hand grabbed the empty wind. The sadness of losing the person she loved made Nadine's eyes see Fedde standing smiling in front of the coffin.

"Dad, Dad!" Nadine shouted calling Fedde.

All the faces of the Fedde family turned towards Nadine. They tried to smile to welcome Nadine who was walking towards the coffin.

"Dad? Where are you going?" asked Nadine seeing that Fedde had disappeared from her sight and gripped Gilang's hand as hard as he could.

A Dutch-faced woman immediately approached Nadine who was still hysterical when she saw Fedde leave. The middle-aged woman immediately hugged Nadine with compassion for what happened to her.

The woman spoke softly next to Nadine's ear in Dutch.

"Geduld, Nadine."

"Hic..., Hic."

The sound of Nadine's sobbing shook her body while squeezing Gilang's fingers. She got strength from Gilang's hands which felt soft and smooth. The warm power of Gilang's writing was able to calm his soul.

Nadine replied in a hoarse voice. "Yes, Aunt Jessie."

A bald-headed man with wrinkled skin was limping towards Nadine holding a triangular staff.

"Je vader is overwhelmed wees geduldig," he says.

Nadine let go of the linked hands from Gilang, her hands immediately hugged the old man's body tightly and then she cried as much as she wanted in his chest.

"Yes Opa," replied Nadine.

Gilang slowly backed away from the crowd then turned towards the exit of the morgue and hurriedly left the morgue. He deliberately let Nadine gather with her father's extended family.

Outside the morgue. Gilang stood in a small garden beside the mortuary wall. he waited for Nadine outside the morgue while watching the flowers in the garden blooming.

Shortly after. Gilang saw Nadine's face covered in tears. Nadine's eyes looked empty looking around looking for Gilang's whereabouts and Gilang immediately approached Nadine.

"Why Miss Nadine?" asked Gilang while wiping Nadine's tears gently.

They locked their eyes in one heartwarming glance. Nadine's blue eyes are swollen. Her lips covered her tears, she hugged Gilang tightly and Nadine shed all her tears on Gilang's shoulders.

Nadine's body trembled holding back her overflowing emotions and Gilang's hand stroking Nadine's back gave Nadine inner strength.

Nadine's crying voice began to fade. The vibrations of Gilang's affectionate caresses were able to calm the shock of his soul.

"My father will be taken back to the Netherlands, we are going to the city of Bogor, I want to calm myself down there," said Nadine.

"Okay, Miss. We're leaving now." Gilang said.

Nadine didn't want to let go of Gilang's body. She walked while tightly hugging Gilang's waist. Her beautiful face was buried in Gilang's chest. Nadine felt comfortable walking while hugging Gilang and Gilang took Nadine away from the morgue to the front door of the hospital.

Gilang put his arm around Nadine's shoulder. The atmosphere of emotion revived the roots of love in their hearts, Gilang felt a vibration of love tickle his heart and an awkward feeling floated away from his face, he embraced Nadine intimately like his own girlfriend.

He let his body become a container for Nadine's sadness. Their intimacy is the main attraction for women. Their lips opened slightly, a smile that was still shy to express their hearts. love can come suddenly without us knowing and stay silent in our hearts like Gilang and Nadine.

They passed through the entrance of the hospital building. Nadine looked up. He spoke hoarsely to Gilang.

"Don't let me be sad alone, accompany me through this sadness, I beg you."

Gilang's eyes flashed on Nadine's face. Short answer. "Okay Miss Nadine, I will accompany you."

They walked affectionately towards the car. Several pairs of eyes watched them, they admired them, and a very harmonious couple became husband and wife, Nadine ignored their compliments that sounded faint, She didn't care what other people thought, she still walked together with Gilang to the car door

Gilang opened the car door for Nadine to enter. A beautiful smile appeared on Nadine's face, a happy expression that was hard to come out of her mouth.

Nadine watched Gilang walk into his car. The corners of his lips lifted, "Gilang is very gentle, I feel very comfortable hugging him, I don't care that Gilang is a driver, I love him." Nadine said to herself.

Gilang opened the car door. Nadine hastily turned her face to the left side. A pink blush was starting to penetrate her face. "Why am I so nervous like this, I fell in love with my handsome driver," Nadine said to herself while biting her lower lip.

there was the sound of a car engine roaring, Gilang had started the car engine and was getting ready to take Nadine to the city of Bogor. Gilang glanced at Nadine's face briefly, Nadine was daydreaming and Gilang didn't want to disturb himself, Gilang immediately started the car. Move slowly out of the hospital parking area. Gilang pursed his lips. A pair of eyes were busy watching another vehicle in front of him. Meanwhile, Nadine was lost in her thoughts.

The car drove towards the city of Bogor. Gilang looks focused on driving the car. One by one the cars walked slowly in front of him, passed by Gilang.

Travel without human voices makes Gilang concentrate more on driving the car.

**

An hour passed, and Gilang just arrived at the toll gate. Roll down the car window while installing the E-Money card. Nadine turned to Gilang.

"Straight to Viila Hijau, in Mount Geulis." said Nadine.

"Okay Miss." Answer Gilang.

Nadine narrowed her eyes, "Do you know the place?" asked Nadine.

"Villa Hijau, owned by CEO Ratna, I definitely know Miss Nadine," Gilang said firmly. Villa Hijau belongs to Gilang's mother.

Nadine turned to the left side, and her eyes saw green rice fields which were very beautiful in the eyes along the toll road, "Ratna's CEO is very rich, why did Gilang stop working there? Very weird? It seems Gilang is hiding something from me." thought Nadine.

Nadine's eyes returned to the road ahead, Occasionally her hand had to cover her mouth. The silence in the car's cabin made drowsiness sink into her eyes. Nadine's eyelids seemed to have started to droop. Drowsiness tugged at his eyelids. Finally, Nadine calmed her mind. His eyes were tightly closed. he fell into a deep sleep.
