"What?"
Via's eyes opened wide when he heard the words of the caller, his drowsiness was also immediately lost with what was happening at this time.
"A-are you sure, sir?" asked Via in a stammer, he hoped that the news he had just received was not true.
"We'll have to wait for the autopsy results from the hospital first, miss. That's why you and your family must come to Pelita hospital immediately, because there are some items and the identity of the victim,"
"Alright, Sir. I'll be there right now."
The call was immediately cut off making Via instantly limp. He did not expect to receive such news from the police, and hopefully it is not true.
"Oh God, I beg of you. I know that you've been very remiss all this time, but I beg for Your mercy, O God."
Via got out of bed and walked to his mother's room, hoping that her mother would be okay to hear this news.
"Mom, Mommy." Via shook Novi's mother's arm to wake her up, the middle-aged woman began to blink her eyes and looked at Via in surprise.
"Well, is this morning, son?" Novi's mother panicked when she woke up late.
"No, Ma. It's still 3 o'clock,"
"Ooh, I think bad luck." He breathed a sigh of relief. "But why did you wake up? "
Via was silent to hear the question from the mother, she tried to strengthen her heart to say the reason she woke up this morning.
"Mom, we need to get to the hospital right away."
Novi's mother was immediately shocked when she heard the words Via. "hospital? Are you sick, son? Or is Yara sick?"
Via immediately shook his head. He then told me that a few minutes ago he had news from the police that a decomposing body had been found on the river bank. And from the identity inside the wallet, it looks like the corpse is Chandra's father.
"O Allah, my Lord." Novi's mother immediately suffocated with the news that her son said, making Via directly hug the mother's body tightly.
"Oh my God, son. Your father, son. Your father, huhuhu." Novi's mother had no power to control herself with this shocking news, and Via could only try to calm her down.
"Patience, Mom. I hope it's not Dad, maybe it's somebody else." She hugged her body tightly. "Now we have to get to the hospital, ma'am. We need to meet with the police."
Novi's mother nodded weakly, then Via took the hijab and also a jacket for the mother so as not to be exposed to the night wind.
Via also picked up a cloth to carry Yara, there was no way she would leave her daughter in the apartment alone.
Once everything is ready, they immediately leave for Pelita hospital according to the direction of the police. Silent roads make Via can more quickly drive his car until it does not feel it has arrived at the destination.
Carrying Yara and also embracing her mother, Via walked slowly to get into the hospital. He immediately asked the administration and was escorted to the autopsy room.
"Good night too, sir. B-how did it go? Wh-what's done?" ask Via stammeredly.
"We'll have to wait a little while longer, ma'am. But before that, these are the items found in the victim's body, you can see them first."
Via picked up something that was inside the plastic bag, and watched it closely.
Deg.
"Here, it's Dad's ring." Via placed his hand right in front of his mouth in disbelief. His eyes glazed over when he saw not only the ring, even the other items in the plastic also belonged to Chandra's father.
Brucks.
Via immediately turned his gaze towards the seat where his mother was. "Oh my God, Mom!" He immediately ran when he saw his mother lying on the floor, as well as some police officers in the place.
"Oh God, Mother. Awake, Mother. Hix, huhuhu,"
"Mama?"
One of the policemen was forced to take Yara from her mother's arms, as the little girl was shocked when she saw the woman crying.
"Mom, mama. Yala wants to be with mama!" Yara rebelled in the police carrier and asked to be with her mother, while Via went into one of the rooms to escort her unconscious mother.
"Well, same mom. Hua, hua,"
"Sssh, wait a minute, honey. Mama still brought grandma to check, so you're the same Uncle first." The policeman tries to calm Yara down but the little girl's cry gets even more jarring.
Via who was in the room immediately went out when he heard Yara's cry, he ran over the hospital corridor while wiping the tears that were still coming out.
"I-I'm sorry for bothering you, sir." Via feels bad and immediately takes Yara from the police.
"It's okay, Madam. Are there any other families we might be able to contact to accompany the Madam?" The police officer felt sorry for the current state of Via, where the woman had to take care of her mother and daughter alone.
Via nodded his head immediately. "Thank you for reminding me, sir. I'll call the other family." Via then contacted Riani to request that the woman come to the hospital immediately.
