MANY WIVES
BIB47


After being smeared with oil and kneaded, Ambu finally woke up.


"Oh, where's Kartika?"


"In the front, why did Ambu pass out in the dining room?"


"So Kartika suddenly disappeared Bah," full of fear


"Disappeared what did Ambu mean?"


"Lost anyway, just as Ambu turned to the front door because of the sound of ambulance entering our alley, suddenly Kartika who was sitting at the dining table directly does not exist."


"Already Ambu, don't think too much, maybe Kartika will say goodbye to Ambu."


"Yes he parted while nitip Arya same Nesti. Apologize too." Down sad.


"May Kartika get the best place by his side huh Mbu."


"Yes Bah, but he seems to be very angry with our son Sayid."


"Where possible, Abah knew Kartika was very fond of Sayid."


"That was before Sayid betrayed him,"


Reply wily.


"Already Mbu, let's go ahead, there are many guests who are not right."


They went out of the room, from the next room suddenly Arya and Hesti came out while rubbing both eyes.


"Akung, Uti where's Mom?"


"Who's mother is Nduk?"


"Mother Kartika, last night came Aryan with Kaka bobo."


Abah and Ambu looked at each other, they were very surprised to hear the confession of his two grandchildren. How not, the mother they asked was already lying stiff in the front room.


"The same Arya Hesti pray first yuk, we pray Mother Kartika."


After the completion of the prayer Ambu tried to give understanding to his two grandchildren on the death of their mother.


"Arya, Hesti already knew that every living person would die?"


Both nod.


"We also cannot avoid death, including Arya, Ambu and Hesti. Just waiting for a turn, when it's time no one knows."


Hesti and Arya took it seriously.


"At this time Mother Kartika who gets a turn, as a child of sholeh and sholeh you must accept it with chest and sincere. Crying will not make your Mother come back, it will weigh her way to a better heaven of God than this world."


Hesti looked down with tears, while Arya still put on a plain face listening to all the words of her grandmother.


"Please pray that your mother will have the best place possible, be lifted up and kept away from the torment of the grave."


"Mother's father will be dark if buried in the ground, Arya want to love Mother Flashlight can not Uti?"


"Can't son, your prayer will be a light for Mother."


Arya raised both her hands.


"Oh Allah, please give Mother Kartika a good place, the love of the lights also let it not be dark, Arya dear Mother because she often gives toys and nice clothes, please love Mom nice clothes too, aamiin." Rubbed his face.


While Hesti was only silent while looking down, Ambu hugged his two grandchildren by trying hard to hold back tears.

Kartika's funeral process went well, around noon was in order, everyone returned to their homes.


The atmosphere that was originally rame instantly became quiet, Ambu the same Abah who was exhausted accompanied his grandson to take a nap. While Bang Sayid was searching the contents of the Kartika bag.


In his spirit he opened a small brown bag containing a wallet, mobile phone and important papers including passports. What was inside was not in line with Bang Sayid's expectations.


In the wallet there is only two million in cash, and there is a letter between the money.


Bang Sayid opened the paper. A letter addressed to him.
