2xmdc. Woe

“Inna lillahi wa innaa ilaihi raji'un."

Terdengar kalimat tarjik terlontar dari bibir Ardan-adik dari Ardiansyah membuat Aghni yang saat itu sedang mengunjungi ruangannya di universitas tempatnya bertugas seketika mengernyitkan kening.

"Alright, we will go directly to his house in Batang," Ardan said again. Then he set his phone back on the table.

"Who died, Om?" asked Aghni who had been holding back her curiosity ever since.

"Your sister-in-law is from Pekalongan, what's her name?" Ardan answered Aghni's question with a question because he forgot the name of his sister's wife's niece.

"Innaa lillahi wa innaa ilaihi raji'un," cried Aghni with tarjik sentence while covering her mouth with her palm. The girl's eyes immediately glazed over ready to spill. "Sir Edos, what pain does he have, Om?" tanyakanya.

"The doctor said fluid leakage in his brain or what, Papa you are not clear to say. We do not need to go to Jakarta, directly to Batang. The body wants to be buried in his birthplace, he said," said Ardan.

"Where's Tania's situation, Om?" ask Aghni who now can not hold back her tears. "Aghni does want to go home to Jakarta, but to see baby Atar is not for takziyah, Om."

"certainly shock. Let's get ready soon to get there. The body will be buried in the afternoon. You tell Auntie and Farel" ordered Mr. Ardan.

With trembling hands Aghni grabbed her phone, but she paled back. He was confused by Omnya's orders, wanted to tell his aunt and his cousin's sister - Farel, immediately went home to get ready to go to Batang.

Mr. Ardan who was difficult to finish packing and stood up turned to look at him. "Aghni!" call him.

"I did, Om. Aghni tell Auntie first?" ask the girl confused.

Mr. Ardan shook his head. "Later in the car" he said.

"But Aghni can't drive while on the phone in this state, Om," said Aghni.

"You're in the car, Om. Om the drive. Your car lives here. Come on!" cetus Mr. Ardan grabbed the hand of his beautiful nephew.

Aghni also followed Pak Ardan's steps like a buffalo d*ngu who shuffled his nose. It only took 20 minutes now they have reached the residence of Mr. Ardan.

A woman in her forties who still looked beautiful welcomed their arrival. "Farel's not home yet, Pa. Still on the road he said," he said.

"Yes, we wait for the child while getting ready" concluded Ardi.

"Tante," cried Aghni squandered into his tantric embrace. "Aghni could not imagine how Kak Tania was," he said with tears.

Aunt Nirmala returned Aghni's embrace while rubbing the girl's back. "That's why you shouldn't be so sad. If you just fall, then who will support Kak Tania?" tanyakanya. "Udah don't be sad. All has become the destiny of the Almighty" he added.

"Heh Anay-anay! How to be a gini cangg? Didn't he say he dared to go home to Jakarta by himself? Why do you want kroyokan now?" cerocos Farel was suddenly behind Aghni without them noticing her presence.

Aghni immediately looked back and hit Farel's arm. "Who said Aghni was afraid to go back to Jakarta by herself? We are not going to Jakarta now, but going to Batang Kampungnya Edos Tania's brother's husband" he said while still crying.

Farel cupped both of Aghni's cheeks. "What event is there? Why do we have tears?" her question wiped away the trace of tears on Aghni's cheeks.

"His husband Tania's sister died, Farel. Hiks hiks hix ..."

"What's? Innaa lillahi wa Inna ilaihi raji. What pain?" tanyanya.

"I don't know. Om said his brain was leaking or nothing's clear."

Farel guided Aghni towards her room. He put some clothes stels into the travel bag. Intentionally do not use a suitcase to pack his clothes so as not to eat a place in the car. Once all was ready they left the house at around 11 p.m.

Meanwhile, Edos' body that had been taken to the hospital, the hospital was also unable to give action because Edos had breathed his life about 4 hours before Tania found him.

At the hospital the corpse in bathed and pardoned, immediately departed to the house of his parents in Batang Regency accompanied by Rifki who participated in the hearse.

Tania could only cry out wailing at the loss of her husband. He is not allowed to go to Batang because given the health condition of baby Atar who just returned a few days from Pekalongan. It's a pity that such a small baby is taken a long trip back and forth. Pity also if left while he is still exclusive ASI. Tania can only be beaten by a predator.

"Why do you have to leave me the same Atar, Yank? I'm not even allowed to take you to your final resting place. They are the same with me. After three months he left me. Now when he comes back you separate me from him again," he groaned with the same sentence over and over again.

Siti goes into Tania's room to deliver lunch. "Mbak Tania had lunch first, yes" he said putting a tray of food on the table near the sofa.

"I don't want to eat" she refused.

"Mbak, pity Atar if Mbak doesn't eat. How can the ASI be smooth?"

Siti also looked at her employer's son who was curled up in bed with a swagger. Tania who had not given birth for so long, even now someone who was the encouragement of her life also left her. The girl should get moral support because her psychology is being shaken, not all of them leave. What if he does things we don't want?

Siti also approached sitting on the side of the plan. Put the tray that it is from the table onto the nightstand. Then lead Tania to get up sitting leaning back.

"Mbak Siti bribe yes, Ma'am. Poor Atar if ASI Mbak Tania does not come out, she also deserves to live." Siti's words were a little cruel, but she no longer knew how to persuade Tania to eat.

Finally Tania was willing to accept a feed of food from Siti even though the girl's gaze was blank straight ahead. Just a few mouthfuls of Tania had already refused. Siti was grateful even though there was little food going into her stomach.

As Siti exited Tania's room to bring the tray to the kitchen, the sound of the doorbell presented her essence.

"Who is visiting this afternoon? Does he not know that the inhabitants of this house are on the way to Batang?" Siti Gumam.

***

Meanwhile, in Batang, the car carrying Edos' body arrived at two in the afternoon. A heart-wrenching cry sounded boisterously welcoming his arrival. The body was brought to the funeral home first while waiting for relatives who wanted to see it for the last time. The voices of those who recited the Surah of Yaasiin and tahlil still accompanied Edos.

Nurlita got up from the chair held by her sister because she was unable to support her body weight. All the brethren had gathered, they were waiting for Abizar-the brother of Edos who was on his way. The family entourage of Ardi and Ardan arrived at the funeral home within half an hour of the hearse.

"I'm sorry, Sister Nurlita. I forbid Tania to accompany the body. Pity Atar if you have to go back and forth to travel far. Ma'am who is patient, yes" said Dewi when hugging Nurlita.

"Yes, it's okay, Wi. They should not have gone to Jakarta. Atar was too small to go back and forth" Nurlita lamented.

"Abizar just called me right to arrive at Ahmad Yani airport, Mbak," said Dewi.

"Yes, he also had time to share the loc to Mbak. Please check where she is," said Nurlita gave her phone to Dewi.

The goddess receives the phone and opens the green application. "It's close, Ma'am. Soon to arrive," he said.

Twenty minutes later. A taxi stopped in front of the gate of Burhan's mansion. When the back door of the car was opened Abizar came out with a lethargic face. The man was immediately greeted by his male relatives, guiding him near Edos' body on an unclosed coffin.

Abizar opened the thin cloth that covered Edos face, kissing his forehead while praying. After that the body was closed again. The officer who takes care of the body makes sure there is still a family waiting for again? Abizar remembered Tania, his gaze circling the people around him and seeing the Goddess and her mother. The eyes of the Goddess were fixed on him.

"Goddess Aunt, where's Tania?"

"Tania in Jakarta, Bizar. Aunty forbids him to come back here, pity Atar if invited back and forth, if left also pity he is still exclusive ASI," said Dewi with her eyes.

Abizar had an idea to make a video call with Tania. Showed Edos' face so Tania could see her husband's face for the last time before being covered with a shroud.

Abizar reached into his phone from his pocket. For a moment he was seen pressing his screen. Bu The call is connected and raised, but the face displayed on the screen does not match the expectations imagined by Abizar.

”Edos!" the great-grandson of the girl in Abizar's view was not her cousin Tania-sister.

"Lho, isn't this Tania's cell phone number?" Abizar asked stupidly.

"Yes right, Mas. Tania is in the bathroom again, I'm her friend" said the girl.

"Oo .. Please love Tania immediately yes, this is important," Abizar's pinta said.

"Who, Pim?" tanya Tania who appears behind her friend who turns out to be Prima.

"Nih, similar to Edos but rather old," said Prima.

"O, Brother Bizar," Tania said while looking at the phone screen. Can Abizar see the face of his cousin and brother-in-law is pale and swollen. "Aren't you here?" tanyanya.

"Tan, would you like to see your husband one last time?" Abizar ignored the question Tania was asking. Tania's eyes were wet. Without waiting for an answer Tania Abizar pointed his cellphone camera at Edos's face that had not been covered in shrouds.

Abizar ordered the coroner to immediately cover Edos's head with a shroud while still making a video call to Tania until the memorization process was complete. Tahlil was recited before the body was taken to a nearby mosque to be sholated. The body will then be taken to a public cemetery for burial.
