Stepmom Cold Bed
Recurrent pain 2

One day after Malik's death, the head of the project came to see them. He carried a large bouquet of flowers which he had kept in front of Maureen's house, almost covering her turnstile.

The man did not speak much. Just give her condolences and leave after taking a picture with a bouquet of flowers and Renita.

Renita smiled cynically after seeing the departure of the company representative who did not have those feelings. They also did not provide any explanation for the reason of Malik's death. They only said that Malik died from his carelessness while installing the electrical installation. Did ya? Is it as easy as explaining someone's passing?

The company's indifferent attitude makes Renita can not take for granted the departure of Malik.

“Hahahaha..”

Maureen still vividly remembers Renita's mingled laughter that echoes laughing at the company where her husband works. The way they did not explain anything seemed to show that they were covering up the reason for Malik's death.

Armed with a sense of not accepting her husband's death, Renita chose to investigate the death of her husband. Every night, Renita did not close her eyes. He kept looking at the files he had.

Starting from the autopsy on Malik's body, reporting files to the police to the file requests Renita to hire the services of a great lawyer.

Some evidence has also been collected and shows that this accident occurred because the company did not meet the operating standards they should have been working on.

It is still conjectural because strong evidence is still owned by the company where Malik works.

Not giving up, Renita came directly to the company. She asked for proof of wrongdoing by her husband. Unfortunately, the company can't give anything. They said they could not provide any files because all the cooperation project files had been withdrawn by Anggoro corp and the cooperation was stopped.

Renita also came to Anggoro corp. A handsome man came to see him. But their conversation was only about ten minutes because the man was very busy. Renita was promised to be met directly at her home.

There was great hope in his heart that this matter could be revealed. Renita only expects justice for her husband's death and she hopes this is the way she can go to get justice.

“Mo, later in the afternoon do not be late yes, Nak.” message Renita while preparing breakfast for Maureen.

After Malik's departure, Maureen sees Renita smiling again, like there is new hope in her life.

“Which is why, Mah?” Maureen asked curiously.

“Later noon, there will be people from Anggoro corp, a partner company where Papah works. They will explain the reason for papah's death. Mamah wants, not only mamah who is horrified by their explanation but Momo must also know. Yes Nak?” renita urai.

“Iya Mah, Momo will be home soon. If Momo hasn't come home yet, wait a minute Mah. Momo also wants to meet them.”

“Iya Nak's. Aduuhh this mamah child is really beautiful? Here the braids let mamah rapihin.” Renita tidied Maureen's hair.

“Akh, this is his son papah. You see his eyes are round, not rich mamah.” Sometimes Renita ticks her daughter by rubbing Maureen's round eyes similar to Malik's.

“Iiihh Mamah. Look at my lips, said papah similar to mamah.” Maureen pursed her lips on Renita.

“No, it looks like papah. You plek ketimplek papah boy. That's because when Mamah was pregnant, Papah was in love with Mamah. That's why you look so much like Papah."

"But mamah seneng, because if mamah kangen papah, mamah can see Momo as much as possible,” said Renita while hugging and kissing the head of Maureen.

The morning was a happy palig day after Malik's departure. The hope of Malik's death is revealed, becoming a new encouragement for both of them.

By noon, Maureen came home in a hurry. He opened the gate quickly and ran to get into the house but paused for a while to open his shoes.

“Mah, Mamah... Momo home...” Call Maureen from the outside.

There was no response from Renita. The atmosphere of the house is also very quiet.

After taking off his shoes, Maureen immediately ran towards the door.

“Maaahhh...” call Maureen while pushing the door. But the door is locked. Tumben.

“Where are you? He said he sent a chepet home.” Maureen muttered to herself. He tried to peek out of the window but the curtains were also tightly closed.

Maureen surrounded her house and not a single window was open. Maureen decided to ask her neighbors.

“Bu, see Mamah Renita not?”

“Wah, don't see Mo. There was, nyapu-nyapu front.” Neighbor Maureen looked around the house.

“There are guests who didn't bu?”

Maureen pensive, this is too strange she thinks.

“Can you please call my mom not ma'am? I don't have a phone.”

“Bby. Nih,” The woman thrust her phone at Maureen.

Maureen tries to call Renita's phone and the sound of her phone ringing out loud from inside the house. Maureen's closing in, finding out where Renita's phone is. The ringing sound was getting clearer from inside Renita's room.

“Maaahh, Mommy, Momo home. Mom's in the room, right?” maureen shouted as she tapped on Renita's bedroom window.

“Mah, Mom...” Pangil Maureen again but Renita still does not know.

“Maureen, this way!!” call mom earlier.

Maureen immediately ran towards the terrace of her house. He saw that she was bending over, trying to peer out of the lower door.

“Why Bu?” Maureen is peeping.

“That's it, look. How is your floor wet? Fishy smell again.” The mother sniffed near the door of Maureen's house.

Maureen's feelings were instantaneous. Without thinking, he broke down the door of his house. He was very sure that something had happened to Renita.

“Why Maureen?” ask some of the men who passed by her house and saw Maureen's small body repeatedly trying to break down the door.

“Pak, please just help break the door. I'm afraid my Mom is why-napa.” Maureen's gone rosy.

”Oh yes, come!”

The four men immediately approached. They broke down Maureen's door. Three times the door was just shifted and in the four door broke open.

“ASTAGA!!” exclaimed a man who was shocked.

“Yes my mother Renitaa!!!” The woman beside Maureen Iku yelled as she saw Renita's body hanging from a rope outstretched from the ceiling of her house. From his arms were still dripping fresh blood that flooded the floor of Maureen's house.

“Mamah,” Maureen can only gawk while looking at Renita's already stiff body and her deathly pale face. He could not move his feet closer to Renita. His body was so limp, just as limp as it was today.

In front of the pool, Maureen's body collapsed. The shadow of the people milling about trying to lower Renita's body was twinkling in Maureen's mind. The noise, the sadness, the ocean, the, the screams of the men and all the things that happened that day turned back on Maureen's head like a broken cassette he couldn't stop.

Maureen could only close her eyes with tears dripping down one by one. Don't ask how Maureen was destroyed back then. His world stopped spinning and he fell into a dark black hole.

The wounds of his grief have not healed because of the abandonment of Malik and this time Renita who memilij end his life. There was only one message Renita had written to Maureen,

"Excuse Mama Nak, Mama gave up."

"Everything you do is in vain. The great men considered all of Mamah's efforts to be just the efforts of a beggar to demand a greater nominal."

"Usaha Mamah as a wife or a mother who demands justice for us is not important to them."

"What can you do without Papah?"

"I'm sorry Mom, son, you have to leave Momo alone."

"Don't feel burdened with the departure of Mamah. Be a strong and great boy. Make everyone bow to Momo."

"Mommy loves Momo."

That line of messages Maureen will never forget. Every letter that was written tremblingly by Renita, would always be embedded in her mind.

Really, Maureen was very happy then. Until she doesn't realize that it's the happiness and the last hug Renita gives her.

Instantly, his body was so weak and in some his body went into the water in an unconscious state.
