"Mom, I'm asking you for help,"


"What Nduk?"


"Please tell my husband that Sri is dead."


"Lha why lie, don't play around saying that prayer."


"It's one of my attempts to make Bang Sayid feel what I feel now Mom."


"If he's happy to hear about your death?"


"That means that I have misjudged Bang Sayid Bu,"


Sri answered lirih.


"It is Nduk, let Allah recompense all his deeds, you just focus and be happy here, do not think of your husband again."


"But Sri had not calmed down before seeing Bang Sayid miserable."


"Istigfar Sri, revenge will only make you more tormented. Do not let Mother, Father also your son grieve to see you live only with a grudge. They'll want to see you happier for the rest of your life that you should be grateful for being given a chance to improve."


Sri Terdian, all the words of Bu Titi have a point as well.


"Many people think only of revenge, and none of them live happier lives after their desires are avenged, even more miserable and tormented, do you want to be like that?"


Sri drowned weakly.


"Thank you very much Ma'am, all of your advice will be remembered."


Tong Ting!


Tong Ting!


"Sri, there's a meeting at this hour,"


"Don't Miss Nur come home Mom."


"No way Sri, usually if they come home always malem, they never enter the house early in the morning."


In haste both went to the front room, indeed during Sri's stay never once had anyone else enter the house other than the personal doctor Embara.


"Is this really Nurfaizah's residence?"


Ms. Titi was a little surprised by the arrival of three police officers, as well as Sri.


"Saye wants to meet the die family."


"As soon as I call."


"Sri help you call Mr. Embara, I'll wait here, I'll spit it out."


Half whispered, Lady Titi ordered Sri to call Embara.


Just with a nod Sri immediately went half-run towards the second floor.


*****


Geck!


Geck!


Excuse me sir, there's a cop under your nyari.


Clack!


A whoi? a cop?


"Yes, they want to see you."


Embara immediately moved from the door of her room, since Sri became her nurse saw a lot of changes, her body back contained and fresher, more fresh, his originally unkempt face in growing fur is now shaved away so that his handsome face is clearly visible.


Maybe because he felt similar to himself, so Embara was more obedient and always listened to every word Sri. Though before Sri came often changed nurses because they could not face the temperament attitude of Embara.


"What's the matter with you looking for saye?"


The policeman was sitting in the front room with Bu Titi. Without answering Embara's question one of them opened a brown box measuring 20x40 cm. Sri saw there is a pile of maps and CD cassettes also a photo. Ms. Nur, her son and a handsome man in a police uniform filled with rank on her chest and shoulders.


Seeing that Sri was a little shocked, "is this Cik Nur's husband?" the batteries.


Embara and Bu Titipun look surprised too, because so far no one knows what the work of Cik Nur's husband, including Embara. Her sister always said that her husband was out of town and had never been home for a long time.


His closed personality and Embara's depression make them not know each other closely.
