BLESSINGS OF LOVE
Should still be alive

Offshore oil drilling in Indramayu Regency is underway.

And today a senior Engineer is on duty there, he with his team is inspecting and observing the ongoing oil drilling process.

The man was named Fuad Rahardian, a senior engineer who served on an offshore oil rig in the Indramayu district area.

He worked all day in the middle of the sea and of course it was very difficult to receive telecommunication signals, so Fuad almost never brought his phone.

He worked from eight in the morning to five in the afternoon, and usually returned to the employee mess. He is a husband who rarely comes home because his wife lives in the city of Cirebon.

The distance between Indramayu and Cirebon is about one to an hour and a half, Fuad has a house that his wife lives in Cirebon.

Asmila his wife whom he married five years ago is a successful career woman in the field of Life Insurance.

At present, Asmila is a Director who has his own office and team, and has often received awards and also bonus prizes for traveling abroad.

The people are beautiful, friendly and always full of spirit. It's only a pity that they have not been blessed with offspring, but Fuad never had a problem.

Fuad is also aware that he is rarely home with his wife, and often goes out of town for seminars or training and motivation.

That afternoon when Fuad was busy researching the depths of the underwater drilling, suddenly a ship from his office came.

"Sir Fuad, I'm sorry you have to go to the office because there are guests waiting. It's very important sir" said the officer who picked him up.

"Whose guest ? I don't think I have any appointments with anyone, either" Fuad said, feeling strange.

"Sir, there are two police officers waiting at the leadership office. So you have to get there immediately" the officer explained.

Fuad actually felt confused because he did not feel wrong, but now awaited by the Police.

His team coordinator immediately asked him to come with the officer, so that Fuad could get an explanation about the arrival of the Police who were looking for him.

Then Fuad went with the officer on the boat to the beach and immediately walked to his command room.

"Well come too, let's go in brother Fuad. This is the second father of the Police," said Mr. Nugraha as his superior directly.

Fuad greeted the two policemen and then sat down in the chair that had been provided in the room.

"This is Mr. Fuad, we apologize for delivering the sad news. Your wife Asmila Maryana has died in an accident in the city of Palembang".

"A Travel bus that your wife boarded fell into a ravine and sank into a river. The driver and all the passengers were not safe, including your wife. Your wife's body is still in the Palembang Police Hospital, right now" said the policeman who sat in front of Fuad explaining what had happened.

"Sir, I'm sorry my wife was right named Asmila Maryana, and I guess such a name must be a lot well. As far as I know, my wife is attending a seminar in Jakarta. So it can't be in Palembang" Fuad said with a cynical smile to the police earlier.

"This is Mr. Fuad, we don't know for sure either. But from the data we got from the Palembang Police is this, please you see all these files," the police said while presenting the files they brought to Fuad.

Then Fuad opened the map containing his wife's data file, in the map he saw a photo of a resident card and also a company identifier on behalf of his wife.

Fuad also saw a picture of his wife clearly displayed on each photo of the card, there are also several photos of business cards and small pins with company logos where his wife works also bearing the name of his wife who is always pinned in his wife's office clothes. She read clearly the name on the pin, Asmila Maryana.

"My wife was allowed to leave for Jakarta on Sunday morning, and I drove her to the train station. He departed from Cirebon station at nine in the morning, he told me there would be a lunch with his First Director in Jakarta".

"My wife called me on Sunday afternoon at one o'clock, she said she had arrived in Jakarta and was heading to the hotel for lunch with the President Director and also with the Commissioner of her company," Fuad said as his face turned red and his lips trembled.

"So there's no way he could be in Palembang, I don't understand why this is the case" Fuad continued, crying.

Mr. Nugraha immediately calmed himself down, he patted Fuad on the shoulder and asked him to take a stand.

"Sir, the incident was around five in the afternoon and the bus was right to take passengers from the airport in Palembang to the city" the police said.

"I still can't stop thinking sir, my wife is clearly going to Jakarta for this week-long seminar. Why it could be in Palembang and why it could be an accident. As long as the Police father knew, she was a famous career woman, there was no way she could go out of her schedule," Fuad was devastated by this fact.

"Sir Fuad, I'm sorry to be able to sign this file immediately, so that the body can be immediately sent to your city," said the police earlier asked him to sign the file.

While signing the dossier, Fuad still insisted on not believing that his wife was dead.

"I'm sure my wife is still alive".

The same case is also being faced by Aletha, he is a famous dentist in the city of Semarang and has the husband of a lecturer in the field of architecture who teaches at one of the famous Universities in the city.

"Sir Police, I am the wife of Asrul Mubarok and it is true that my husband is going to the city of Palembang because there is a job there. But I can't accept your statement that my husband died along with his young wife and baby" Aletha said in tears.

"But it's true, Asrul Mubarok has remarried to Jena Anindia. This is his marriage certificate and there is also a birth certificate from one of the hospitals in Jakarta. And according to the statement of the family of Jena Anindia who we have managed to confirm, that your husband and his wife are on the way to bring his wife back to Palembang," the police were also confused to convey this case to Aletha.

"Then what about my husband's body, where is it now?"aletha asked while crying.

"Sorry ma'am, the body of the mother's husband along with the bodies of Jena Anindia and their babies have been taken by the family of Jena's deceased in Palembang. And according to the plan to be buried soon today," the police explained again.

"WHAT!!!!!"aletha shouted loudly, so that the nurse who had heard from earlier immediately approached Aletha who looked trembling.

"I'm his wife, I haven't even seen how my husband's body is. How dare they bury my husband without my permission" Aletha roared as she continued to speak.

The nurse in the room immediately grabbed Aletha by the shoulder, and it was true that Aletha seemed to be unable to think anymore. She was crying in the nurse's arms.

Then another friend who was in the clinic immediately rushed into the practice room, then they asked the Police for an explanation and how shocked everyone was after hearing it.

"Suster Nana, it looks like we should call Dr. Haris because now it's impossible for Dr. Aletha to treat a patient with this condition," the administration officer said he asked the nurse to immediately contact a replacement doctor who was none other than Aletha's younger sister.

Fortunately, Haris, who recently graduated, could replace Dr. Aletha temporarily.

Then Aletha was escorted home by her co-worker at the clinic, and the patient who had been waiting for her was told by Nana's nurse that Aletha's condition was not possible to check on the patient.

But they were all asked to wait because a replacement doctor was about to arrive.

"I followed the news, so in the car there were five adult passengers, one red baby and one driver, all drowned" said a mother who drove her child to check her teeth.

"Yes I also saw the news, but which husband of doctor Aletha is well?"ask someone else who also takes his brother to check his teeth.

"It could be that the one sitting next to the driver because the one sitting behind seems to be all married couples. Oh pity well, where to bring the baby anyway," another similar comment awaits in the waiting room of the patient.

"Yes, well, he said the car was speeding and then uncontrollably, into the ravine slammed several times just splashed into the river and drowned".

"If my brother who happens to live in Palembang, rumors that the car is a travel bodong. And passengers are also not all husband and wife, even he said there was one of the victims was a fraudster. But I don't know I also only get rumors from brothers there, and the news is raging".

"Oh time anyway, it's scary. But the husband of doctor Aletha which is not yet clear well".

"Either, Wallahu a'lam, we do not know the truth or not of the news circulating".

Workmates and nurses heard what the patients were telling or accompanying him, which must be in the waiting room of the dental clinic was busy talking about the news about the incident in Palembang there.

All the patients who are regular subscriptions of Aletha doctors, all did not expect that the doctor was beautiful, friendly and reliable it turned out her husband became one of the victims.

The next day Soraya and her two children were waiting for an ambulance to take her husband's body to their residence.

All sad to lose the figure of Mario Maliangkay, he is smart, friendly and unpretentious.

Even in the church where he worshiped, Mario was one of the elders. He used to be an elder of the church because he was known that Mario was a wise and loving family.

His household is good, his job is successful, his wife is a lecturer of English literature and his two daughters besides being beautiful are also all good at school.

Almost everyone who heard Mario died, felt devastated and lost even the figure of Mario almost became a byword either in the neighborhood or church as a very good person.

Not a few people who idolize the father of Mario Maliangkay, even he is always used as an example if there is a young married couple.

"For example, the family of Mr. Mario Maliangkay, successful work and happy household because he always put God first in his household".

That is what is often heard when hearing the name Mario Maliangkay and his family.

But now that Soraya is in a state of anxiety, she must be sincere that her husband is gone.

But why there was something strange in her death, Sunday afternoon she still remembered that her husband said he was in Madura.

But police yesterday said that the accident that happened to her husband occurred in Palembang.

The great distance between Madura and Palembang means that there is a lie that her husband is making at that time.

But what exactly happened he also did not understand, and in the aftermath he had to cover up a secret that he himself did not know.

Everyone asked for answers if her husband was indeed on duty in Palembang, even this he also conveyed to the pastor who will lead the funeral later in the afternoon.

Ambulances came carrying Mario's body that had been put into the coffin.

Soraya and her two children could not help but cry as the crates were lowered from the ambulance.

Some of the old relatives agreed to open the chest and bathe the body again for fear that it was not feasible for burial later.

Then the crate was opened and the smell of a corpse that began to rot, but according to the agreement of the family the corpse will be bathed again to deserve to be buried.

At that time Soraya was unconscious when she saw the body of her husband who looked swollen all over her body.

Finished bathed, the corpse was put back into the crate and then there was a service to close the coffin and then after the casket was closed everyone together left for the funeral.

Along the way Soraya continued to cry, even when the coffin had gone down into the pit, he fainted again, fortunately Mince was always quick to hold his master from home to the funeral.

His two children continue to give strength to his mother in order to be strong and steadfast in accepting this ordeal.

"The love of Mario's mother, they are a romantic and harmonious couple, of course, got this incident must have been very hard hit," said one mourner.

"Yes right, so sorry. Although Mr. Mario is often out of town work but they are always harmonious. Especially if Mr. Mario comes home from out of town, well they're like romeo and juliet, sticky and stick together".

It was the talk of people around who felt sorry to see Soraya who looked so beaten and battered.

While in other cities also looks Fuad is still so sad because of the loss of his beloved wife.

Fuad had promised that early next year he would apply for a six-month unpaid sabbatical for him and Asmila to see a doctor.

They had planned to have a baby, because for five years the two had still not found out that Asmila was pregnant.

Fuad also felt it was not good to just blame his wife like most people do.

For Fuad maybe he also worked too hard could be one of the factors to have a seed that is not good.

Fuad was still crying when he returned from his wife's funeral.

"Fuad, I'm son. You must rekhas, ridho all the will of God. Already do not be grieved continue to pity do not be burdened steps," said Asmila's mother while stroking the back of her favorite daughter-in-law.

Fuad is the proud daughter-in-law of her parents Asmila, in their eyes Fuad is a good husband who does not blame Asmila for their never-pregnant son.

Even Fuad always defended Asmila when she was alive, sometimes at family gatherings there is a chirp about children. And Fuad always. defended Asmila, that the matter of the child is the secret of God.

Both Asmila's parents are very sad that their children still have not had time to hijab when they died due to this accident.

His mother had scolded Asmila's late son to immediately hijab, but Fuad always defended again by saying that Asmila was not ready not to be forced and maybe because of the demands of the job so that Asmila was not ready for hijab.

Asmila is gone and Fuad can only regret why he gave his wife permission to leave the city.

Just like Soraya who was in another city, Fuad now also felt that there was a bit of an oddity.

He still remembers Sunday morning taking his wife to the station as there will be a seminar in Jakarta for one week.

But the fact his wife died in an accident in the city of Palembang on the same day in the afternoon.

He did not understand why it could happen, in his mind at this time there must be an office business so sudden that his wife had to go to the city.

"Fuad, there was an ambulance officer who gave you your wife's bag and belongings. I've kept it in your room, later if you have time to check it out well," said the same father-in-law looks very sad because of the death of his daughter.

"Yes sir, let Mida help Fuad dismantle it. Now we're getting ready for tahlilan tonight well. Don't worry Fuad, you'll be here with Mom and Dad for a while" said Asmida, his wife's older sister Fuad.

Fuad could only nod weakly as his mind was still fixed on his late wife.

Aletha was gathering with her extended family as well as the extended family of her late husband.

Both families were very shaken let alone heard and knew that the late Asrul Mubarok had been buried by another family in the city of Palembang.

And the family they do not know that Asrul is the husband and father of a fellow accident victim, a woman named Jena and her baby.

"Anwar and Dita, please help the two of you to accompany Mbak to Palembang. We must find out the truth of this tragedy" Aletha told her sister-in-law and her wife, they both happened to be newlyweds.

"Anwar is ready Ma'am, it's true that we have to go there to find out because the family also does not want if until the late mas Asrul got a vile slander" said his sister-in-law because he also felt furious.

"Father agrees, only later when you meet the family of a woman named Jena that should not be ignited emotions. Because if you are emotional, there will certainly be no way out of this problem," his father Asrul advised those who will leave.

"Right Letha, I also agree with your in-laws. Please, later you will be mature in asking questions and seeking the truth of all this," her father Aletha also chimed in.

"Edwin baby, you're temporarily with Grandma and Grandpa well. Mother will go to Palembang first with Oom Anwar and Aunt Dita. You have to follow what Grandma and Grandpa said dear," said Aletha while hugging her son.

"Win wants to join the mother, Win also wants to know the tomb of the father," whining his son who was just in the third grade of Elementary School.

"Later on, son, if all the problems are sorted out, surely you'll take Edwin to see your father's grave".

Aletha screamed in her heart, as did Soraya and Fuad who were in different cities.

If only time could be replayed, they would like not to let their partner go.

They should still be alive if yesterday was prevented from leaving.
