Awaiting News


Najma tries to call Ardi, but Ardi's phone is off.


"Ardi's mobile phone is active, bentar Mba, I ordered a plane ticket via online, I first saw the flight number, the plane that crashed was what was the flight number?"


"It's Ama," Sarah showed her cell phone opening the news online.


"Sama Mba. mas Ardi." and Najma's cry broke....


Sarah hugged Najma.


"Prophe first Ama, we pray, may Ardi be safe, you calm down first, I call Arya mas first, who knows can find information on the passengers of the plane," said Sarah, she immediately contacted her husband.


After Arya gets news from Sarah, she immediately calls her parents. And of course Rahman and Hamida were surprised by the news, even Hamida immediately fainted hearing his flight number was the same as Ardi's ticket.


After Hamida regains consciousness, they immediately go to Ardi's house. So did Arya who left the restaurant and handed it to her men, then headed for Ardi's house.


"Mama.." said Najma as soon as she saw Hamida, the middle-aged woman immediately hugged her youngest daughter-in-law.


"Mama Mas Ardi Ma." said Najma, sobbing.


"Relax, we follow the news while continuing to find information, hopefully Ardi is not on the plane" Hamida said, trying to calm Najma, although he himself was actually also sad and afraid of bad things happening to his youngest son.


Arya and Rahman kept calling Viva Air, but were always busy, and probably as many people were looking for their families.


Najma decides to go to her room, trying to calm herself down. Baby A is in her room with Salma and Dinda being taken care of by Ms. Ani and Ms. Fitri Salma's nanny.


Najma sat on the sofa hugging the magazine with a cover photo of Ardi that she saw this morning. He remembered last night Ardi's message to name the fruit of their love...


"There are still four months of this fetus but mas Ardi has given you a name, and this morning I want to continue to see photos of mas Ardi. is this all a sign that mas Ardi must go Oh Allah..." shivering Najma with tears soaked her cheeks.


Najma recalls the good times with Ardi, like the movie she wanted to play back. When they met for the first time at the boarding school, then the second time when Ardi delivered the pudding made by his mother, when Ardi fell asleep on the sofa of his house because of the achievement after leading the operation, when Ardi accidentally sees Najma's face for the first time in his family's villa. Also the time of application and subsequent marriage contract where they first touched shake hands.


Downstairs, everyone gathered in the living room, silent in prayer and also continuing to hope that Ardi would not be okay.


Hamida recalled the message Ardi sent before leaving this morning, asking Hamida to testify that Ardi was a good boy. As Hamida's mother also felt restless there had been no news from Ardi. Rahman hugs Hamida trying to calm his wife. Both Rahman and Hamida loved their sons, both Arya and Ardi were obedient children, since graduating from Elementary school to college, and both were also hafidz of the Qur'an.


And now Arya read some letters of the Qur'an to calm himself and his family as well so that his memorization is not lost, because the task of a memorizer of the Qur'an is murojaah/repeat the memorization so as not to forget. He himself also still continues to hope that his only brother is still healthy and survived no less than one.


Until the dhuhur adhan reverberated, all were solemnly heard and answered the Adhan reading, after which they prayed after the Adhan, also much-prayed for the salvation of Ardi, and many, for between the times of prayer is the time between the Adhan and the iqamah. Arya and her papa went to the mosque for congregational prayers. While the women pray together at home.


Najma returned to her room after the prayer. He sat on the sofa again while hugging Ardi's photo magazine again.


"Tok..tok..tok.." Someone knocked on Najma's room door. The door opens and Sarah carries a tray filled with lunch for Najma.


"Father eat first yuk," said Sarah as she placed the tray on the table.


"I don't want to eat Mba, ga laper," Najma refused to eat.


"Najma, eat, let you stay strong, there is Akbar that you have to take care of, also your fetus needs to eat as well, yuk eat, denger ya.i doctor you know, nurut,"


Najma can not refuse anymore because Sarah has a point, she must survive for Akbar and the fetus in the womb.


"I brought two dishes, I'll have you eat" said Sarah, who sat next to Najma.


Najma began to scoop up her food, and felt familiar with it.


"Yes, that was Arif coming from the house,"


"Mas Arif is here?" ask Najma.


"Yes, just now, it's home,"


"Well, when I wanted to ask how did I send Ardi, did something happen,"


"Udah, I asked Ama, I asked,"


"Where did he say Mba?"


"Arif just sent to the front of the airport, just as Ardi Arif was told to go straight home, so he did not know how Ardi in the airport," said Sarah.


"Oh ..." Najma breathed heavily.


"But before I got here earlier, Arya managed to contact Viva Air airline, he said Ardi did not board the plane,"


"Alhamdulillah, but Ardi mas where to try, what's on another flight?"


"I don't know, hopefully that's the case, officer Viva Air hastily hung up the phone because there are still many who call,"


"That means there is still hope Mba, O Allah may Ardi be well,"


"Aamiin, what's that on your lap?"


"I don't have a big photo of Ardi, so this magazine is just a hug" Najma said.


After eating, Sarah gives Najma medicine, so that Najma can rest, of course with the dose and supervision.


"This is how rich are not my usual vitamins?" ask Najma.


"Take a vitamin, too, according to the doctor,"


Najma drank it. Eventually, he was sleepy and able to sleep. He just wakes up to pray, then sleeps again.


.


Until nightfall, none of them left the house, and all of a sudden Hamida's cell phone calls came in from a new number he hadn't known.


"Drrr.t..drr.tt..."


"Who's Ma?" ask Rahman.


"Ga know the new number" Hamida said.


"Thank you Ma, it might be important" said Arya.


Hamida then pulled the green button on the screen of his phone then turned on the loud speaker for everyone to hear.


"Halo Assalamualaikum" said Hamida.


"Waalaikumussalam.." replied the one across.
