Dream Crack
RM135. Grief tidings

"What???" Canda was even surprised, when he received a phone call from his sister-in-law on her husband's cellphone.

"Geez, Brother-in-law. Where's Bang Givan?" Gavin does not realize, it turns out that the one who received his phone call was his brother-in-law.

He had already delivered the sad news in a hurry, without knowing for sure who picked up the phone from him.

"Ai's daughter is dead?" Canda had already focused on the information Gavin had provided at the beginning.

"Eummmm.... Yes, Brother-in-law," Gavin replied with a second thought.

He did not want to convey the news directly to Canda, because he was worried that his brother-in-law was directly negative thinking about his own content. Gavin knows about his stressed-out sister-in-law.

"Innalady.... Oh, my God, son. Heaven for you, son." Canda could not imagine being Ai, how a mother who was abandoned by her newborn child felt.

"Well, brother-in-law? I just want to hang out, don't ask Givan to come over" said Gavin, who heard Canda's trembling voice.

"Later tell your brother, Vin. Now he's out again, he's patched up his motorcycle tires." Canda tells her whereabouts of her husband who is not at home.

"Yes, Brother. Later if you go home just say it. Was it first, brother? Assalamualaikum...." Gavin decided to end the phone call.

Canda had already guessed this earlier, but he did not think that Ai's son did not survive this fast. Because in his neighborhood, he did not find the story of premature babies born at the age of six months. At five months of age, the baby is also dead.

"Wa'alaikum salutations." Canda understood there amid a lot of hassles.

"Oh, how is this?" Canda was confused himself. He doesn't know what he should do.

Should he pass it on to the head of RT, to make a broadcast in the mosque? Or, should he fix the house for mourners who come? But whose house should he clean up? Meanwhile, he did not want his own house to be a gathering place for mourners. He was afraid that if there was a crowd at home, he immediately remembered the sadness of Nalendra's death forever.

Nalendra's stammered speech when delivering the message to Givan, he led Nalendra to say talqin, Jasmine's echoing cry, Ceysa who always asked for snacks when she saw the pale face of her biological father, who was very sad, the atmosphere was bustling with complaints of Givan having a toothache. Everything is still recorded clearly, when she remembered the death of her ex-husband. Death came, the night before her wedding.

Her tears began to pool, with her hands and feet getting cold. Canda's negative thoughts instantly mixed, about the condition of her twin baby. She knew it was right to conceive and give birth to two babies at once. Is he capable? Is his son strong? Because the doctor once said, that the possibility of Canda will give birth faster. Canda's mind started to make him limp on his own.

His sanity was still gathering, he stepped out to look for someone he could talk to. He was afraid that his limp would get worse if he remained alone in the room.

"From...." Canda always came to the house closest to him.

"Eummm? What, Cendol? I just got home from work" said Ghifar who was taking off his work shoes on the porch of his house.

Canda stepped with trembling hands, he approached Ghifar and sat down beside him. Ghifar turned his head and watched Canda for a moment. Something is wrong with Canda. His gloomy face, plus the dominant pale bias, Ghifar understands Canda is not in good shape.

"I was dying when Daeng died, Far."

A look of wonder, directly Ghifar gave. Not in the annual commemoration of Nalendra's death, but Canda remembered her ex-husband.

"Soally, her son Ai died," continued Canda's sentence making him gawk.

"Born, this afternoon. How am I supposed to do it first, Far? If I remember the crowded house, even remember the time of death. I still remember the broadcast in the mosque, which was mentioned by the relatives of Papah Adi by the name of Nalendra. My knees were instantly limp, directly bathed in sweat, I was confused right." Canda rubbed the sweat on his forehead with the back of his hand.

Wet eyes, clearly shows if several times tears escaped from his eyes.

"You hug, you're somebody's wife. Come in, same as Aca. Confused if this is so. Who died Ai's child, even crying and limp because he remembered the Lendra bang. I'm confused about you, Canda." Ghifar got up first, then extended his hand to Canda.

Canda was helped to rise by Ghifar, then they both went into Ghifar's house. Canda immediately complained his mood to Aca, with Ghifar returning home to find Canda's husband.

The drama begins. People are too focused on Canda, making them not sure what to do for Ai's dead baby.

Until finally, Givan decided to call his sister back after his wife calmed down and fell asleep. One is Givan's problem, when Canda thinks a lot about other things. Namely, he was just afraid of his wife's stress and affect the state of their baby.

"City, Vin. How's it? Brought to the house?" Givan contacted his sister on the porch of Ghifar's house.

In fact, Canda had not been invited to go home. However, Canda had already fallen asleep at Ghifar's house.

"No, Bang. Still taken care of here. Not been anything, because her brother Ai wants to see first he said. Yes maybe wait until tomorrow, they are again on the way. So yeah, the baby's in this hospital morgue first. Ai dropped too, after hearing the news of her son's death. Yes, it's just me, bang Ken just as mamah. We say the news is not to use whispers, yes it sounds to Ai's ears. His blood is suddenly high Ai, it's a danger to him too."

Givan watched from afar, his father, who had just entered the courtyard of the house. Means, the father did not know any news that happened today.

Givan was still sticking his cell phone in his ear, with his legs swinging to meet dad.

"House needs to be prepared, right? For the return of Ai's body?" Givan asked his phone.

"No, Bang. He said he was taken care of at the hospital, so he went straight to the funeral. Yes maybe, later ask people to dig a grave. The baby was small right, no kilos, no matter how big the grave." Gavin remembered the baby's corpse that was so light when he was approaching earlier.

"Oh, so bathed, pardoned there?" Givan was already in his parents' yard.

"Yes, Bang. Shaded here too, so go home is done, straight to the funeral. Moreover, the guardian of Ai is Ai's older brother, automatically waiting for her brother Ai to come to carry the baby's corpse to the funeral." Gavin watched the passerby in front of the hall where he was standing. He was smoking, he was relaxing for a moment after taking care of the hassles that occurred.

"Eh, he said the baby's life expectancy is fifty percent?" Givan is a little confused, why Ai's son can die without bad news first.

"Tuyulmu! Seventeen percent, fifty percent at most. Kasian is right if remembered again, red right, the skin of the skin cake ari salak, can't bear I'm fat even though it's lifeless. The internal organs aren't perfect, Bang. Moreover, this baby has problems with his kidneys, his hands just make goosebumps see him. As she was shown to Ai, Ai Kek did not dare to touch her own child. I'm sorry this is it, Bang. That finger there's some things that don't grow. Furthermore, his even imperfect palms grew as well. The right lesson for pregnant women, must be really far from alcohol, if not want this kind of incident. The father is the same, they should be those who want to be a father first repent if they want to make children. Let his son not like this the story, make it not bear to see it. Plus, that small must be born. Yeah, he's not strong, it's not time." Gavin chills himself if he remembers the small corpse he carried to show Ai, before being handed over to the hospital morgue.

"Work demands, Ai inevitably drinks for her confidence. Moreover, naturally the LC world is close to liquor. If indeed Ai loves children, it should stop from the beginning he knows humming. Moreover, he was already holding a lot of money as well. I don't understand the same thoughts Ai. I don't think, it turns out this is Ai's true nature." Givan recalled some cliches about their relationship first.

It was really inconceivable to him, if Ai had this kind of genuine nature. Four months in fact could not make him know Ai more closely.

"What's up, Van? Where are you mama?" tanya Adi, who saw her stepson on the porch of her house.
