Bryan accompanied Alma who was still unconscious for approximately 3 hours. The face of the mother of the three children was very pale, her body was also cold. Who would not be shocked and hysterical, when he saw his baby died before his eyes in a cruel way.
Who's the one here? is it destiny? we can't blame fate and what happened to the 8-year-old, but why should God take it this way?
Albry is like a spotless, clean paper, how cruel it is not to be so awful. However, everything went back to fate, everything had already been outlined even since Albry was still in the womb.
Everyone was hoping that this was just their nightmare. But the fact hit all their hopes when they saw little Albry had entered the mortuary and was being bathed by the medical team, in order to be buried immediately.
Kelvin walked into the room where his mother was being cared for.
"Well, is Mama still unconscious?" kelvin asked his father who was sitting next to his mother who was still asleep.
"Yes Vin, where's Naina?" bryan asked as he held his tired head
"Naina equals Theo and Ian's doctor up front. Then, Mr. Andre is in front he said waiting for papa. There are important things to say" Kelvin said
"You can stay here first, wait for your Mama for a second?" ask Bryan
"Yes pah, I'm here" Kelvin replied
"Papa came out first" Bryan moved from his seat.
"Well, I hope it's just a dream" Kelvin said with a bitter smile on his face, trying to endure the pain of losing his youngest brother.
"Papa also hopes this is just Vin's dream, but it's all real. The pain and pain in the heart is so real" said Bryan, who is sad to lose his youngest son.
Bryan came out of the room where Alma was being treated. He saw Andre and a man in police uniform standing in front of the room, waiting for Bryan.
"Can we talk to you for a second, sir?" ask the police
"Good, but not here. Later my children can hear it" Bryan said as he looked towards Naina who was sitting on the bench with Theo.
"Well, let's talk somewhere else" the police told Andre and Bryan.
Bryan, Andre and the policeman went to a deserted place to chat. While Naina is still in shock, she feels her sister's departure is just her dream.
Theo was beside her to accompany her, and comforted her if she could. The girl who used to be cheerful, just kept quiet and cried.
"Nai, you haven't had lunch yet, have you? you haven't been drinking, either, just eat and drink" Theo said, bringing a box of food, and a bottle of water for Naina.
Naina just shook her head weakly, she seemed to have lost her energy and mood to do something. Only tears came out of his eyes. Theo wiped Naina's tears with her hands, slowly and gently.
Theo sincerely worries about Naina, he continues to persuade Naina to eat first. Theo was afraid that Naina would fall ill, not to mention that her psychological state was down.
"Nai, I know now you are sad and grieving. But, whatever happens you have to eat so there's energy, huh?" persuade Theo while holding a spoon, he prepares to feed Naina
"I don't want to eat sister" Naina replied sadly
"You must be steadfast, Nai... If not you who else will cheer and comfort Aunt Alma? Aunt Alma was devastated, she needed strength to get up. If you're sick, how can you and Aunt Alma strengthen each other?" theo said with a smile and stroked Naina's cheeks gently
True also said brother Theo, the mother who was hardest hit by this incident. Mama saw firsthand the incident, just as Albry died. Mama is sadder than me and Kelvin's sister. If I'm sick, I can't strengthen Mama.
Naina takes the food box in Theo's hand, but either from drowning or something. Naina almost dropped the food box, quickly Theo brought back the food box and fed Naina affectionately.
"Thank you brother Theo, my hands are still limp" Naina said with a bitter smile
"No papa. I understand, I bribe ya" Theo smiled, he took the rice and side dishes using a spoon he held. Naina nodded slowly.
When else could Theo get close to Naina like this? Theo feels happy that he could be the first to be with Naina in her most difficult moment, he wants to ease the sadness that is in Naina's heart after the sudden departure of his little sister.
Just now Naina, eat 3 mouthfuls of Theo..
Someone opened the door of the room where Alma was in the care, Alma came out of the room and called out her sister's name. Kelvin tried to calm his mother who was still hit. Naina and Theo immediately got up from her seat, they saw Alma who looked sad.
"Albry, where's Albry? why are we here, Vin? Albry must have been waiting for us at home.." Alma looked dazed, she smiled while crying.
"Mah.m calm, ma'am, you just regained consciousness... Mama ate first yuk, mama has not eaten loh" said Kelvin persuaded his mama
"Kelvin why don't you answer? where's Albry? where's Albry?!"
"Albry. he's.." Kelvin couldn't say it anymore, if it was about Albry, because he was sad too.
Alma approached Naina and holding her daughter's hand, Alma's eyes were blank. Like Alma's frustrated.
"Nai, let's go home, Nai. Your sister is waiting at home. Yeah, she's definitely waiting for us at home." Alma told her daughter.
"Ma.. Albry's gone Ma.. Albry had gone home.hiks "Naina sobbed back to her sister.
"Yes, Albry's home, right? he went home, so we also have to go home. Why are you crying, baby? " ask Alma as if all is well.
Still in tears, Naina hugged her mother tightly. Giving her a hug of strength, so that her mother could accept the fact that Albry had been summoned by the almighty.
Alma hugged Naina tightly, both of them crying and strengthening each other. Yes indeed accepting the reality is the most difficult thing, especially if it is a painful and bitter reality.
So. This isn't a dream? Albry. has really gone. Inner Alma hurt.
Kelvin and Theo also felt the same sadness when they saw the miserable scene that lay before them.
Alma and Naina are crying, but they are trying to stay strong. They wanted to see Albry one last time, the two women were inside the mortuary.
Seeing the body of an 8-year-old boy, which is difficult to recognize because his face has been damaged. Lying on a cadaver bed, covered in a white cloth. Alma and Naina did not expect that the one in the bed was Albry, their youngest and most beloved member of their family.
"It's all Mama's fault, why didn't God just take Mama's life? why...?" Alma looked at the lifeless body of her son with sorrow in her heart.
"Mama don't talk like that, this is the destiny of God.. God must have a wonderful plan for all of us, dear God Albry, that is why he was called first" said Naina who was also sad to lose her sister.
Just this morning meeting with his sister, that afternoon he received news that his sister had an accident and was gone. Really, no one knows until when.
"It's mama's fault.. Nai, if only Mama had been faster. Maybe your sister is still here if only Mama was there with her, if only Mama could replace her. she must be in pain of being hit by that car" Alma cried, crying, his hands were stroking the head and hair of his youngest son.
Naina and Alma embrace each other to share power. " Mommy.don't beat yourself up mama.hiks "

Kelvin and Theo were outside the mortuary, they were sitting on the bench up ahead. "The patient and stoic Vin, I know this must be heavy for Lo" he said while patting Kelvin on the shoulder
"Yes, I also did not expect the incident would be rich gini. It's very sudden.. Albry, he is still very small" Kelvin said as he stared sadly at the two women who were still lamenting Albry's departure inside the mortuary.
"Yes I know, if Lo wants to cry, cry aja Vin.got papa" Theo said encouragingly.
"Thanks yo, but I have to stay calm so Mama and Naina don't get dropped" Kelvin wiped his tears quickly.
"Gue know Lo is strong bro" Theo smiled give spirit to his friend.
Oh yeah, I have to tell you about Ken's aunt Laura, I almost forgot.
"Theo, I went there to call my aunt in Australia first"
"Okay, just calm down. I'm not going anywhere"
