Quiet Wife
42. Bereft

The night with the gurgling of rainwater, became the most stressful night among the other nights. The whole family was panicked by a shocking fact that was spoken from Naura's lips. His body shook and his cries overflowed. His lips that spoke a few words about Calvin at this time, was enough to make the whole family, including Naura herself, decide to follow him to the beach.

Fani, Divo, Arvin and Naura, all four are made to sculpt without the slightest sound. In the rain that is no longer heavy, the road looks quite jammed in front. The feeling of being annoyed and not accepting made the atmosphere even more tense.

Divo continuously sighed while leaning his head on the back of the steering chair. His feelings are confused, afraid that something bad will happen to Calvin.

While Arvin, the man was busy contacting one by one Calvin alumni friends who happened to be some of whom Arvin recognized. Honey, no one answered his call. Arvin's getting frustrated on the spot. Her fingers spontaneously grabbed her own hair.

As for Fani and Naura, the two women in such a distant age were crying hysterically.

Perhaps, the most hysterical at the moment was Naura. As for Fani, she was equally afraid. But considering herself much older, Fani tries to hide her immortality. Trying to calm down Naura who kept crying called out Calvin's name.

Maybe every once in a while Fani will also shed tears. Of course, which mother could stand it when she heard her own son being declared a missing person in the coastal waters?

I hope nothing bad happens to Calvin.

Whether because of the prayer they kept saying non-stop, the streets that had been completely jammed began to be empty. Without a second thought, Divo planted the gas immediately. Not for an hour, they finally arrived.

The rain started to stop, and it made the Divo even more certain that his son would be fine.

"Where are we going now?" Fani asked confused. His head was staring in all directions.

It'sit's nothing. It's just that, the atmosphere of the beach that usually always looks crowded, want it day or night, everything suddenly quiet. Only a little passed.

"That's like a post tent? Let's go there!" Arvin pointed to a tent that was quite far from their position.

With no intention of waiting for the rest of his family, Arvin ran. His father who saw it also ran after Arvin. As for Fani and Naura, the two women were unlikely to come running.

Maybe Fani can, but Naura? Naura is pregnant, and pregnant women should not run away.

Trying to keep up, both of them just speed up the pace without intending to pay attention around.

Without saying a word, Arvin opened the curtain of the tent quite roughly. Some of the people who were in the post tent were obviously shocked.

"Where's calvin?" Arvin didn't care for those who looked at him in wonder. The focus of his current goal is Calvin.

One of the men who was lying down with minor injuries on some corners of the face and other limbs seemed to be trying to get up from his position. A woman who was by his side spontaneously helped the man.

"Bang Arvin!" The hoarse voice instantly distracted Arvin. Without a second thought, Arvin stepped closer to the man who, if he did not remember wrongly, used to be a close friend of Calvin during High School.

"Lo Zaki, right? Where is my grandfather? I'm afraid Calvin's two other people are missing at sea. What's the story? Why can I believe it?" Shortly after Arvin asked at length, his papa came. His face looked equally scared.

Seeing Arvin who was asking intensely at a young man who had some injuries on his body, Divo approached them.

"Where's Calvin?"

Zaki let out a long breath while looking down. "Sorry, Om, Bang! I ... also don't know. I also just woke up not long ago. Calvin's account has not been found yet."

"What?" The shock was not from Arvin or Divo. It was Fani and Naura who had just arrived at the front door of the tent.

"So here Zaki is also one of the victims of the missing person, Brother, Om! Zaki just woke up not long ago. His leg was broken and his body was injured." Aliya interrupted with fear.

Honestly speaking, Arvin's gaze at her was so cold and horrible. Either because she was anxious for her sister or how, obviously, Aliya was really very afraid to see her.

"But, the rescue team's still operating, right?"

"That's ..." Zaki paused his speech as Aliya's phone rang. Aliya who at this moment happened to be grasping her phone without a second thought immediately picked it up.

"Yes, Rom? How's it? Reki and Calvin have you met?" As if understanding the purpose of the hand gestures and face shown by Arvin, Aliya began to keep a little of her phone away from the earlobe. Press the speaker button so everyone can hear it.

"Bad, Al! Rescuers had to postpone the operation because the sea wave was getting bigger. Even he said it was expected there would be aftershocks."

Naura wept more and more in Fani's warm embrace. His mind and mind are no longer able to think positively.

"When will the operation continue?" Not only Calvin's family, Aliya feels the same way now.

"If the storm is not severe, it may be continued again at one or not two at dawn. But if it's severe, maybe go ahead tomorrow morning. And rescuers said it was possible that although the victim was found, it may have been in a different state. Please take this to Calvin's family with Reki."

Everyone can no longer speak. Only calmness and tears filled the atmosphere of the windy night.

The tense atmosphere was getting more chaotic. Calvin is missing and still nowhere to be found. As for Naura, the woman was made too shocked to end up fainting. Without a second thought, Arvin carried Naura's body and put her to sleep in a post tent that still had a little space.

...****...

"Eat first, Din-"

"No. I don't want to! I want to see Reki!"

"We doain the best, yes. May Reki be the same"

"If Reki does anything, I don't want to live anymore."

Naura frowned, as the noisy sounds of the people around, pierced her sense of hearing. Slowly, Naura took a deep breath. Inhaling the soothing, warm scent of a bottle of wind oil that was left open in front of his nasal cavity.

With great weight, Naura began to blink her eyes until she finally began to fully awaken. Fani who was crying saw Naura's condition, slowly her smile began to return even a little.

"Naura! Are you conscious?" Divo and Arvin who were standing guard outside were made to re-enter the post tent.

"Where? Is anyone sick, dizzy? Would you like Papa to drink?"

"Let me, Pah, buy you a drink." Arvin said quickly, then waltzed to buy drinking water for Naura.

"Where's Calvin? I had a dream that Mas Calvin would leave me with our future son forever. But ... It was just a dream, wasn't it, Mah?" Fani and Divo, as well as some of Calvin's friends, were instantly made speechless by Naura's words. Tears once again washed their faces.

"No, it's not a dream! May Calvin be found soon, yes! You must be sincere, no matter what happens later." Fani then hugged the body of her daughter-in-law who came back crying.

To be honest, Fani was not willing if her son would have fared so tragically as he did today. His position is still unpredictable, but his condition will most likely not be what it was, which means; it is likely that Calvin's life is no longer there.

"I want to see Calvin, Mah! He promised to come home today! I want to meet Mas Calvin, and say that I already have a recommendation name that is suitable for our prospective children! Mah, I beg you! I'd like to see you Calvin!" Naura was crying hysterically, making some people who were also in the same post tent, made to feel the pain. Including Adinda, as the boyfriend and fiance of Reki.

"Am I overreacting? There are even people who suffer more than me. She is pregnant and now has to lose her husband. As for me, I'm the same Reki just fiance status and already injured this? Especially her?" Adinda repeatedly continued to wipe the tears that broke through without being asked. Even with some of his friends who were witnesses.

"If I were Naura, I wouldn't be able to. Especially now that she's pregnant. Maybe if it was me, I'd end my life." Timpal Tasha, who was reciprocated by spontaneous nodding by Adinda and Wika.

"Newly just imagine that I am not able, let alone he who fuss? Geez, I can't stop crying!" Wika hid her face with tears that kept flushing without stopping.

As the three women said, imagining the most loved one leaving suddenly, it felt so painful that it was powerless to just imagine.

May we all never feel the loss as miserable as Naura.

Unfortunately, the fact of the separation is in fact never avoidable.

...****...

In the morning, rescuers restarted search operations that had been delayed due to tidal waves and storms that returned. The feeling of anxiety from last night, until this morning the feeling still remains the same. Or even just struggling.

On the beach with fairly good weather, Arvin, along with all his family members have been standing by on the spot. The tense rails still faithfully radiated. Every now and then, their minds continue to offer the best prayers for Calvin's salvation.

If Calvin had died, at least meet them with his body. Perhaps at least, that tense feeling would melt a little. And maybe after that, they just have to try to make it happen.

From yesterday until this morning, Naura kept daydreaming with blank eyes. His face was pale and his eyes were puffy. The woman kept crying over Calvin. Hope her husband can be found in good condition soon.

But, apparently, destiny says something else. Until this moment, the rescue team still could not find Calvin.

Good Lord! Why do you write my story like this? At first You cornered me in a situation where I was required to marry a man I never thought of.

But when I began to know him more deeply and even to love him and contain his baby, why did You keep me from him?

What kind of fate did you write for me?

Does the intent of all that has happened to this day mean reproof, for I have made my own Mama's life drift?

If so, Servant please, do not punish the Servant any more! Indeed, the Servant is not a strong man. Fragile servant!

Please, give me back the Servant's Husband! Servant loves him very much!
