EPISODE 19: THE SADNESS
At one night the body of Mr. Hartono was only discovered by a rider who happened to pass at the place. While the truck driver who hit Mr. Hartono fled because he did not want to deal with the police.
The rider was shouting so loudly that it invited a commotion and housing residents came out to check what happened. And they were really shocked to learn that the security guard who was guarding their housing had become a hit-and-run victim.
Representatives of the residents also hurriedly contacted Mr. Ghofar who became a colleague of Mr. Hartono. Mr. Ghofar who was sound asleep did not know that his phone was ringing because he was so pocketing it. Finally, his wife picked up the phone and he was surprised after being told by one of the residents of the housing where her husband worked that Mr. Hartono had been a hit-and-run victim and died on the spot.
Mr Ghofar's wife woke up her husband to tell him about his death. How shocked Mr Ghofar was after hearing from his wife that his co-worker Mr Hartono had an accident and died in front of the entrance to the housing estate. He also invited his wife to prepare to go to Mr. Hartono's house to give the news to Mr. Hartono's family. Of course, he could not have directly told Mr. Hartono the real situation because it would shock them instantly.
Mr. Ghofar and his wife also headed to Mr. Hartono's house. Arriving in front of Mr. Hartono's house, Mr. Ghofar and his wife also knocked on Bu Reni's door. Bu Reni initially did not want to go out, but because who called not only Mr. Ghofar but also his wife, akhinya the woman also wanted to go out of his room after being accompanied by Ibn. It turns out that all night the woman could not sleep well because she did not come to the spirit of Laras.
Mr. Ghofar told Ms. Reni that her husband had just been in an accident and was taken to hospital. He did not say that a few minutes ago there was news from residents that Mr Hartono's body was being taken to the morgue of a hospital in the city. Mr. Ghofar also advised Ms. Reni to take one of her neighbors to the hospital. Finally, Bu Reni woke up her neighbor who was guarding her yesterday when she was bullied by Laras. Ms. Nada and her husband were shocked by the news of the accident. BU Ren told Bu Nada that he asked permission to be transferred by Bu Nada's husband to the hospital to visit her husband. The good lady also allowed her husband. The four of them went to the hospital together. But before leaving, Ms. Nada was whispered by Mr. Ghofar's wife without Bu Reni's knowledge that Mr. Hartono was dead. Just as Bu Reni and the others disappeared from her sight, Ms. Nada became hysterical and woke up her neighbors and informed them of Mr. Hartono's death. In a short time, despite midnight, news of Mr. Hartono's death spread to most of the residents of Pomegranate hamlet.
After arriving at the hospital, Mr. Ghofar took Ms. Reni to the back of the hospital. When he arrived at the mortuary Bu Reni had protested to Mr. Ghofar why he was taken to the place, but Mr. Ghofar said there was still other business. Apparently in the morgue there are already some residential residents who deliberately went to the hospital to deliver the body of Mr. Hartono. And Mr. Ghofar and his entourage finally reached the body of Mr. Hartono with ushered by the man. Bu Reni and Ibnu screamed hysterically when he saw her husband lying lifeless on the gurney. Mr Ghofar's wife was trying to remind the woman to be patient with her husband's departure.

"Patience, Ma'am. Mbak Reni must be strong for Ibnu, Mbak ..," said wife Bu Ghofar to strengthen the heart of Bu Reni.
After the situation was quite calm, finally the body of Mr. Hartono was bathed by hospital officials with the help of the family. Bu Reni and Ibnu also took a moment in the process of bathing the corpse before it was purified. After completing all the hospital affairs, the body of Mr. Hartono was brought back to the hamlet of Pomegranate to be buried. It turns out that the residents of Pomegranate hamlet have been waiting for the arrival of Mr. Hartono's body since midnight. Ms. Nada was assisted by the neighbors who had also prepared a funeral home. Bu Reni's cry broke again as she met Bu Nada and Bu Nisa who had been very familiar with her. The body of Mr. Hartono was buried at seven in the morning accompanied by the cries of Bu Reni and Ibnu.
While in the cemetery, the villagers of Pomegranate also still gossip about the ghost of Laras and associate the death of Pak Hartono with Laras.
"Don't Mr. Hartono die for fear of being chased by Baras?" said one citizen.
"Well, who knows. Strange too, right, how come Mr. Hartono's in the middle of the night on the highway? Said the resident there, Mr. Hartono at that hour usually silent in the post. Some say Mr. Hartono's phone is on in the mail. Weird, right?" bright those citizens.
"No. What's the deal with Mr. Hartono? The man is so calm" replied the resident.
"Kalem-Kalem how toh. Did you never hear Mr. Hartono had a fight with his wife because his wife was jealous of Mr. Hartono fishing turns out Mr. Hartono was sitting around the house Laras," replied the resident.
"Yes tah?" ask the people at last.
"That's it anyway. Who knows, Mr. Hartono was once clumsy with Laras, but did not want to be responsible," added the resident.
"The shhh!!! There's Mr. Herman" the resident replied
And they stopped the discussion because they knew that Laras was the family of Mr. Herman. After the funeral was over, all the residents disbanded to their homes. Only the family of Bu Reni, the family of Pak Ghofar, the family of Bu Nada, and Bu Nisa who still remained silent on top of Pak Hartono's navel and returned last.
