The night was getting late, Heni had not come out of the room since last afternoon. The cry of her infant daughter's daughter. What the hell's going on? Not usually Anton and Heni's children cry that hard, to wake up the sound sleep of Halimah and Adel's room next to each other.
"Oek.. oek...oek.." the sound of the Princess crying in the middle of a quiet night, woke up all the inhabitants of the house.
'What's up? Why is Princess crying so hard?? What's going on???' adel shouted in his heart when he woke up from his sleep.
'Why is my granddaughter crying like that? Not usually midnight crying incessantly??' whispered Halimah's mother who also woke up and immediately stepped her feet towards Heni's room.
"Mommy... Mom woke up too? Why is it, Princess crying so loud??" Sapa Adel when passing by her mother.
"Yes, Del. Let's look over there! I'm worried." Take Halimah mom further walk faster to Heni's room which is located at the back.
Arriving at the door, Adel knocked.
Tok...
"Hen... Heni's... Why Princess, Hen??" ask Adel from behind the door.
But knocking on the door and calling there was no response from the occupants of the room. The Princess' cry did not want to stop, making Halimah's mother more panicked.
"Let's go harder, Del! Let Heni hear," said Mrs Halimah.
Tok... tok...
Already many times Adel hardened the sound of the door knock, but there was no response from Heni.
"I'll open it, Mom! Why don't I feel good, Mom?" Adel said with a panicked face.
"Take the keys in mom's closet drawer, Del. All the spare keys I keep there." Halimah ma'am orders that are no less panicked.
Then Adel rushed to his mother's room and immediately looked for the key in question. After a while, the thing he was looking for met. Anton's sister quickly ran back to Heni's room.
One by one in trying the spare key, finally met the right one too. "Well.this, Mom. I've found the right key." Adel turned the doorknob and opened it slowly.
Chequelek
Adel moved all the contents of the room that looked dark, it seems Heni deliberately extinguished the lighting in the room. With a little light coming in from the bedroom door, Adel tried to turn on the light's skacle.
And.. Adel's eyes widened to look at the scene in front of him, "Heniii...!!! What the hell is going on??? Asterghfirullah..."
"Heniii!!! Why are you doing this, Hen??? Astaghfirullah... I didn't expect you to be this determined, Hen???" shouted Halimah as she cried staring at the figure of a woman covered in blood coming out of her wrist.
"Wake, Hen!! Banguuun...!!!" yelled Adel while shaking his sister-in-law's shoulders hysterically.
Ms. Halimah approached her granddaughter and tried to calm her by holding her and hugging her tightly. "Cup.cup, honey. Here's granny gendong ya...!" the voice of Halimah's mother shook, looking at the Princess who was crying loudly until the face of the tiny baby reddened.
"Mom, a. I'll call Santi's mom. Moga can come straight here and check on Hen immediately." Adel stammered from the panic of seeing fresh red blood splattered on the floor of the room.
Heni was weakly rolling on the floor with his eyes closed and his face pale. His hair was disheveled, clearly visible the owner was experiencing a very heavy mental pressure.
Adel picked up his cell phone in the room, then immediately he contacted Santi's mother, a midwife whose house was close to him. After a while, the call was finally received.
(Hello. ma'am Santi, I'm sorry to interrupt nights).
(What is Adel?) replied Santi with a hoarse voice typical of people just waking up.
(Astaghfirullah. I'll be there soon)
Santi's mom immediately hung up on him. But Adel can be a little relieved, finally there is a solution to see the condition of his sister's wife.
Not long after, Santi's mom arrived at Adel's house.
"Please, Mom. My sister is in the back room" Adel gave the midwife a hint.
Walking quickly, the two headed for the room in question. Ms. Halimah was waiting in Heni's room with tears in her eyes. Staring at the daughter-in-law who was already helpless with fresh blood.
Miss Santi took out a stethoscope from her big bag. Adel laid Heni's weak body still on the floor of the room.
Ms. Santi placed the device on Heni's chest carefully, to listen to the sound of the heartbeat and detect the disorder. Moments later...
"Innalillahi wainna ilaihi rojiun, Mrs Heni is dead, Ma'am." Said Santi mom with a sad face staring at Adel who was sitting next to him.
"Innalillahi wainna ilaihi rojiuuun..." Adel and Miss Halimah answered almost simultaneously with a vibrating sound.
"Heniiii... Why are you doing this??? I didn't expect you to end your life like this, Heeennn!!!" shouted Halimah's mother crying over Heni's body lying on the cold floor.
"It looks like Mrs Heni has slashed her wrists for a long time, so she can't be helped anymore. Sorry, Miss Halimah. I can't help much. May Halimah and her family accept this fate. I say yes, Miss Halimah, Miss Adel." Pamit bu Santi's.
"There's a lot, Santi. Sorry if we're a hassle." Adel answered while walking to escort Santi to the exit of the house.
"It's okay, Ma'am." The midwife immediately left the house with a grieving face.
Adel immediately delayed re-entering and grabbed his phone. He immediately searched his sister's phone number. But he called dozens of times without any answer.

The dawn prayer, the morning sign has begun to return. The sound of Anton's motorbike entering the yard. He immediately turned off his iron horse, when the strange scenery that happened was not as usual.
'What is this??? Why are there so many people in my house???' anton whispered as he opened his eyes wide. Seen in front of his house many neighbors who had gathered and crowded staring in wonder at the arrival of Anton.
Halimah's son got off the motorcycle slowly, then immediately opened the helmet and jacket he was wearing. He stepped slowly towards the entrance of his house that had been lined up to meet him.
The eyes of the mourners looked wryly at the late husband of Heni, and Anton had no idea what was really going on. After entering and meeting Halimah, Anton looked at the mother's face with a confused feeling.
"Mother, what is this??? Why are there so many neighbors here???" Anton's whisper in the ear of Halimah, because there are already several mothers sitting next to him.
Ms. Halimah let out a long sigh while shedding her tears back. "Heni, Tonne. Heni is dead."
Duaarrrr
Anton's heart was like it was struck by lightning that morning. He widened his eyes while stepping back one step.
"Hen... Heni died, Mom??? anton asked while shaking and sighing long.
