Sholeha was much calmer, she also wanted to eat and drink a few times. Sholeh also did not shift a bit from next to him, he really accompanied his wife since earlier. He talked and comforted her little by little.
Sholeh got up from there, when Irma came to see his wife. Sholeh knows Irma must be very able to entertain his wife, while he chose to meet Irma's husband outside.
Sholeha and Irma stared at each other, with Sholeha's tears falling down again. He recalled everything that happened, and was eager to tell his best friend.
Irma approached, hugging Sholeha tightly, rubbing her back very gently. " Patience yes, this all must pass. We will all experience it too" Irma said, taking off her arms.
Sholeha nodded with her tears still flowing, "Ir, I'm sad. I don't know if I'm pregnant yet" she said sobbing.
Irma clasped her best friend's hand, giving her strength that might not be much. " It's okay Ha, everything has happened, now it's important you are healthy do not cry continuously, you need to be healthy and give birth to a grandson Mother safely. That's all you have to do "
Sholeha wiped away her tears, she knew she had been crying too much since last night. He was also already too tired, slowly leaning his body.
" Don't go yet, accompany me. Tell me a lot about you, I want to forget a little about Mom's departure" Sholeha said with grief.
Irma nodded, though she herself was confused as to what to tell, but seeing Sholeha who was like this, she should be able to comfort her.

Sholeh came out of his wife's room, approaching the father who was sitting in front of the TV. He looked pensive, his face was very lifeless.
" Well, I better eat first. Since then surely not been able to ?" sholeh.
" Already, Dad has eaten Le" he replied briefly.
Afterwards his eyes looked empty, ignoring his daughter-in-law. Sholeh chose silence, not forcing the father to tell the story.
" Le, a few days ago your mother complained of a headache, but you did not immediately bring her to check, I did not expect your mother was in danger at that time. And, once he fell, he was immediately beyond help" he said full of regret.
Sholeh listened quietly, what he said in-laws was too short and seemed incomprehensible. But who knows if everything will be like this.
" Patience sir, how else, everything has happened. Don't beat yourself up too much, " said Sholeh soberly.
Sulaiman was silent, "Le, is it true that your wife is pregnant ?" asked Sulaiman suddenly.
" Yes Well, Alhamdulillah, it's only been two weeks" Sholeh replied, so calm.
" Thank God, maybe it's like this, someone's gone and someone's coming. Please help Daddy comfort Sholeha, she must feel guilty. You also have to remind her of her pregnancy, keep her healthy, Le" said Sulaiman patting her daughter-in-law's shoulder.
" God willing, Dad."
Who would have thought if yesterday was the last day to meet his wife. Who knows if last night could catch him. Sulaiman was so unexpected. She is his lover who loves him endlessly, until the last moment he still feels that his love will not be willing to leave him.
It was heartbreaking for Sulayman, as if he had lived without a trace on such a long journey. For decades with his wife and never expected that today was the deadline of his meeting.
Sholeh turned to look at the door of his room that was open, Irma came out from there. He said if Sholeha was fast asleep, Sholeh was calm to hear it. His wife was strongly encouraged to sleep. The endless crying made her very worried about her fetus.
" Thank you, Ir, for coming. Since then he just cried, thank God if he can fall asleep," said Sholeh.
Irma's husband who had been talking to Rizal had also joined the party. Sholeh until not feeling good to Irma's husband, because it had to wait a long time.
" Be careful on the road huh" Sulaiman said as they paused.
One by one the relatives began to say goodbye, only a few remained. Shortly after Irma left, Rahma and Dito arrived. Sholeh greeted him with a sober greeting. While Rahma greeted Ayu, the two continued to talk at the dining table.
Still with the atmosphere of grief that is so felt, Rahma looks dizzy looking for someone. " You're looking for Sholeha ?" ask Ayu to him.
" Yes, where is he. Is he okay ?" rahma said with her worried face.
Since ten minutes of sitting there, he never once saw it. Though from the first departure Rahma was very thoughtful with Sholeh's soft-hearted wife, she must be very sad.
" She's resting, you know she's two weeks pregnant. And I don't know yet, she's very sad" Ayu said with her own face.
" What a pity on him, is he okay ?"
" The midwife said it's okay, it's just that she's too sad and that's not very good."
Rahma looked at Ayu with all sorrow and pity for Sholeha, she was eager to meet him, but she was very afraid of disturbing.
Still quiet with everyone not talking much, the kitchen was quiet even though there were some people preparing some banquets. Although just mineral water and a slice of cake, to be given to people tahlilan later.
Suddenly Sholeha came out of her room, Ayu swiftly greeted her first. He was very worried that his sister-in-law had fallen or was unconscious again. Though she was also pregnant young, until running small on Sholeha.
" Mom, I just want to pee, "Sholeha smiled, "That Mbak also had to be careful, even running around that" he said again.
Ayu smiled, hearing her sister talk long like that, she felt relieved. This means that he is no longer sad like that, however his heart should be calm as soon as possible.
" Mom help, " Ayu does not care about the words of her sister-in-law.
They walked very slowly embracing each other, as if very afraid of falling. The faces of the two also exchanged smiles, feeling funny to themselves.
" Deck, there's Rahma. He's been looking for you" Ayu said, as Sholeha asked who was sitting behind him.
Sholeha smiled, "I've come to know Mama Rahma, my eyes are blurry because there is a lot of cry" said Sholeha a little laugh.
Rahma heard their little talk, she also kept turning to make sure that the one who came was Sholeha. " Sholeha, I'm sorry I just came" said Rahma, hugging Sholeha tightly, while rubbing her back slowly several times.
" Yes Ma'am, it's okay, thank you for coming, "Sholeha took off her arms, looked at Rahma with her puffy face, "Congratulations on her engagement" she said again with a smile.
Rahma was surprised, but she immediately smiled, "You are safe, you are safe, you are pregnant. May it be healthy always yes" Rahma smiled so widely, her hands stretched out just like touching Sholeha's stomach.
Sholeha glanced at Ayu, with her smile Ayu also nodded. Tells me if Rahma knows it too.
Sholeha's smile just expands.
