Hay Pak Teacher
Extra Part 17
The drying of the phone on the nightstand disrupted the sleep of Alvi who had just slept because the wife had complained of back pain. Still with his eyes closed he fumbled on the nightstand next to the bed, slowly opening his eyes to check who was calling on his wife's phone in the middle of the night like this.
"Mother," muttered Alvi.
Without changing her position, which now embraces Alana, Alvi answers a call from her in-laws.
Alvi's heart seemed to stop beating hearing cries in the other side, what else when Mother Anin said the bad news. Still with a cell phone in his hand, Alvi stared at the wife's sleeping face, I don't know what Alana's reaction was when she learned the bad news that approached midnight like this.
"Well, Mother," said Alvi after that disconnected her phone connection.
Alvi clenched Alana's body into her arms, burying her thick lips on Alana's forehead.
"Honey," said Alvi. His tongue feels faint will convey this bad news to Alana, especially his pregnant mother had just fallen asleep due to pain in the waist. "Wake up baby."
"I'm still sleeping Aa" muttered Alana.
"After a while," whispered Alvi made Alana inevitably open her eyes.
Alvi leads Alana to sit down, grabs a bottle of mineral water on the nightstand and gives it to Alana. Alvi would not deliver the bad news in a hurry fearing his wife's shock.
"What's the matter Aa?" bewildered Alana as Alvi directly hugged her.
"Oma's great-grandfather died, dear" whispered Alvi.
"Aa joke isn't funny know," Melerai hugs Alvi. Alana's tears just fell as she looked at Alvi's eyes which were now reddened to indicate that the man was not lying.
He knows how much Alana loves Oma Jelita. His wife often told him about an old grandmother who had been lying in a coma for almost five years. Alana always hoped there would be a miracle to wake the old grandmother up so she could see her happy little family.
Alana pushes Alvi's body, get off the bed with difficulty, she will make sure that the news she heard is wrong, Omanya is still alive and will soon realize. It's just sleep, not death.
Along the way to the main Mansion, Alana kept crying in Alvi's arms. Those beautiful eyes started to swell and were hard to open. Not caring for her large belly, Alana ran to Oma Jelita's room. His steps came to a halt at the doorstep seeing all his family gathered together.
"Well!" call Mother Anin to tears.
"Don't say anything Mother!" Brushed off Anin's hand, walking to the bed where Jelita's oma lay with a cloth covering her entire body.
"Oma's up!" yell Alana. "Rayhan, Oma's just sleeping, right? ain't ya!" ask the man who sits not far from the bed.
"Oma's already aware of eating all the tools on the loose right? You guys want to give me a surprise like the reception yesterday?"
Alana stared one by one the family members who were looking down with reddened eyes. No one can make a sound. Three brothers, only Alana who is very close to Om jelita.
If only Alvi did not hold Alana's body, maybe the three-bodied body had collapsed on the floor.
"Aa tell me this is all just a dream" Alana said in Alvi's arms.
