As in the lightning strike in broad daylight, that is how Arsyad felt when dr. Tiya recounts how Anggun lost her baby, who was also the son of Arshad.
Arsyad was so shocked, hoping it was just a nightmare but in fact it was a fact. Sad, because he could not look at his daughter at all, and angry, because he had been lied to raw by Anggun somehow for what reason and for the last time.
To be sure, Arsyad felt devastated as well as disappointed in himself as well as in Anggun.
Right now, he could only duck deeply, his hands squeezing each other, holding back the rumbling feeling in his chest. Doctors Tiya, Ummi Firda and Abi Gabriel could only silently watch over Arsyad.
While Aira, she felt concerned for her husband who must have been very hit. Gently Aira drew Arshad's hand, grabbed him and as soon as Arsyad fell in Aira's arms, he drowned his face in Aira's arms.
Arsyad bit his lips as tears just flowed from the corner of his eyes, his body shook slowly and Aira could feel the tears of the husband soaking his chest.
Regretfully, Arsyad regretted that he had never been there for the boy, and he did not even take him home to his last home, as he could not take his mother home.
Arshad could not bathe the child, as he could not bathe the mother's body.
Aira did not know what to do or say to calm her husband, all she could do was rub Arsyad's trembling back.
"I'm so bad, I didn't know my mother died and I didn't know that my son was dead either" said Arsyad, who was scarred by a wound that made Aira's heart ache, even the tears could no longer be weaved.
"Why is it always like this? It's my fault I should have been there for them" she muttered in a trembling voice.
"It's not your fault, Mommy." Aira was still rubbing Arsyad's back which was slightly shaking. "No..."
"We're leaving now, honey."

"Pa, he said we're going to the village? 'And Via has come home, Papa," whined Tanvir who is currently following Michael wherever he goes, even he also followed Michael who wants to go to the toilet.
"Tomorrow, Tanvir. Today Papa wants to work first" Micheal replied in annoyance.
"Ih, Papa keep working. Is the money that Papa has been lacking?" Tanvir asked in a loud voice even he ruffled his waist in front of the toilet door.
Michael didn't care about it because it was a real emergency right now, he locked the bathroom from the inside." Papa! papa's house is big, a lot of cars. Grandpa has a plane, Papa less what else? Still working!" it was Oceh Tanvir who really looked upset.
While Micheal focused on himself inside. "Father! Ustaz said the treasure was not taken to death. Why are you so constantly looking!" Tanvir still continued to babble even while banging on the door.
The Zenwa who was currently at the bottom instantly rose after hearing the commotion of his son.
Meanwhile, Micheal immediately came out after finishing his wish. He stood in front of Micheal and he also ruffled his waist and said, "Who said the treasure was not brought to death? If Papa uses his wealth for alms, so the reward, is brought to death. Papa used to donate to build mosques, hospitals, schools and so on, so the reward, charity, was brought to death as well. Papa uses to manfakahi you with Mama. It is also a reward, the reward is brought to death. Papa used to pay for your school, you think international school is cheap? It takes a lot of money too, so you can get the best education, in the best place. "
Tanvir just gaped at his father's long speech, and slowly he lowered his hands from his waist and then he threw a sweet smile, a free smile without burden and without sin.
While Zenwa could only shake her head at what her husband told their son, the look on Michael's face was serious, it was as if the one before him was an adult who was certain they were what he said.
"Yes, he's outraged because I work" said Micheal.
"His name is also a child, Mas. How are you, cook the children in ladeni, already like a child you," Zenwa said.
While Tanvir actually nodded several times while smiling widely as if confirming what his mother said.
"He's not a kid anymore, he's 9 years old" Micheal replied and again Tanvir nodded as if agreeing with what Micheal said. Makes Michael even more upset with his son.
"Honey, get off the gih. Bi Eni is making banana cheese anyway." Zenwa said before Micheal rose blood because of their son.
With no burden at all, Tanvir walked leisurely out of his parents' room.
"Astagfirullah, patience... Patience...." Micheal rubbed his thumping chest every time he argued with the son, while Zenwa only chuckled at the husband who was always overwhelmed with Michael. "Who do you think the kid is after, honey? From your family's genes or my family's genes that's absurd?" His instantaneous questioning made Zenwa laugh amusedly.
"It must be from your family, honey. You'll know for yourself what my family background is like, it's impossible to have an absurd attitude like Tanvir."
"Yes, Mas. From the genes of whomever our child's attitude, thank you. The attitude he showed meant he was smart and intelligent, rather than malempem, would you?"
"Yes, too..."

Tonight Anggun cooks for dinner as usual, but somehow the feeling is unusual. He was restless and anxious for no reason, several times he took a deep breath to calm his chaotic feelings.
"Auu.." screeched as he accidentally sliced his finger from the knife as he was about to cut the vegetables.
Husna came with a bottle of Baby Maita milk. "Have you slept, Ma?" asked Anggun while washing his hands then he treated his injured finger.
"Here, tonight he fussed constantly" said Ms. Husna.
Graceful paused for a moment and thought back to Arsyad, until the sound of the doorbell surprised him. "Let me open" said Anggun because the mother was washing the bottle of Baby Maita's milk.
Gracefully rushed to open the door and instantly her two eyes opened wide upon seeing who was coming.
"You guys...." Graceful whispering in disbelief.
"Assalamualaikum," said Aira who displayed his flat face, while the look on Arsyad's face looked very tense. "
"It's not like you're in..."
"We came home to see my son" said Arsyad in a cold tone.
Tbc...
