"Mother Mas, Mother," Fatimah's voice sounded so bitter and worried and afraid that it was mixed into one, too, seeing the reaction of the wife made Satya run towards Fatimah and stand right beside Fatimah while checking the pulse of the mother who turned out to be no longer there.
Satya's facial expression that was worried now turned weak, there was a veil of despair implied in her face, giving a sign that Halimah's mother was not okay, she said, and it can be read by Fatimah who immediately sat on the floor realizing that the Mother was gone.
"Patience! Didn't Mom say that if all the living were in this world, it would have gone back to the creator when the time came," whispered Satya trying to calm the wife who is now just silently staring at the body of the mother with tears flowing without a sound.
"Cry! Express all the sadness you have now felt, do not self-serving Fatimah! Remember that there is still me who will always be by your side!" Satya whispered again when she saw the state of Fatimah who did not respond to any words Satya.
"I'm alone, everyone close to me is gone, my father, mother, and sister they've returned to their laps, why should I do it alone, Mom" lirih Fatimah who sounded so desperate while continuing to look at the body of the mother who was still lying on top of the hospital gurney with some medical devices stuck in her body.
"Patience! Verily no servant is tested beyond his means, if all this happens to you, then rest assured! If you are currently being tested," once again Satya tries to strengthen Fatimah, even though Satya never felt the loss of what Fatimah felt, she said, but he was very understanding of what had just happened and what Fatimah was now feeling, that's why it could be possible Satya tried to continue to give strength to Fatimah so that she could still be strong in facing all the tests given to her.
Hearing every cool word that came out of Satya's lips made Fatimah's mind slightly open, although his body still felt limp but with all his might Fatimah tried to stand up and push the button that he should have pushed a few minutes ago.
"Patience, dear!" Satya encouraged Fatimah and called her with a call of affection, a call that would probably feel so beautiful if it were not the way it is today, but that call no longer meant anything, because it is now the mind, the heart, the heart, and the body soul of Fatimah was fixed on the mother who was stiffened in front of her.
"Is there something going on, Fatimah?" faris asked shortly after she entered the room of Mother Halimah, Faris was seen running a little while towards the room of Mother Halimah, and all that could be seen with the roar of Faris breath panting.
"Mother is gone, Mas" said Fatimah, bowing her head with tears that still could not stop.
Faris's rapid steps are now immediately stopped when he hears Fatimah's speech.
"I'm sorry Fatimah" said Faris, who felt she had failed to treat Fatimah's mother.
"I'm sorry I couldn't treat your mother" continued Faris, who looks so sorry for the death of Halimah's mother.
"All is destiny, Mas Faris, never feel failure or guilt for the death of Mother, because everything that happens is a destiny that can not be changed by anyone," sahut Fatimah who did not want to see Faris constantly feel guilty about the death of Ibu Halimah.
No one spoke after that, and the atmosphere became silent, only tears were visible and able to show how the mood of everyone in the room was.
"Let me take care of his administration first." Pamit Satya who is walking out of the room of Fatimah's mother, while Fatimah's mother began bathing and after being taken home to be buried.
Throughout the journey Salima's tears never stopped flowing, although no more sounds were heard but the tears kept dripping gave a sign that the owner of the tears was sad and unable to stem his sadness.
"Sorry Non, Bik Husna has just left, and Bibik does not know where to go" replied the housekeeper who welcomed Fatimah's arrival as well as the mother's body.
"Have you not thought of anyone who is not here!" sela Satya who really understands that at this time Bik Husna must have deliberately left and did not want to join buried the body of Mother Halimah.
"But after all she's my aunt, and she's the one who has far more time with her than I do, she should be here when she's going to be buried, too" Fatimah said.
"Trust me Fatimah! Bik Husna is not as good as you think! and it's better now that we go straight to the funeral procession" Satya said trying to tell something Fatimah had never known.
Fatimah has been trying to contact Bik Husna via telephone now slowly turn it off, it seems very unlikely Bik Husna did that, all this time that Fatimah knows only one, but only one, Bik Husna was the one who was always next to his mother, and his mother was the only one who always helped Bik Husna when she was in trouble, but why did Bik Husna get that much.
Fatimah's mind flew away remembering everything that had happened and passed.
"Here, don't think!" Satya again rebukes Fatimah who looks still daydreaming, and Fatimah who is aware that the funeral of Mother Halimah is far more important than anything else makes Fatimah rise and think of all thoughts that are useless.
Mother Halimah's funeral went well, and the night had come, Fatimah sat contemplating on the balcony of the room remembering everything that had happened.
"Eat and drink! since this afternoon you haven't eaten yet," Satya's voice shifted Fatimah's mind and gaze.
"I'm still full, Mas" said Fatimah who is now seen forcing a smile towards Satya.
"Do I want a bribe?" bargain Satya with a smile that looks sweet.
"I'm really still full" Fatimah was heard still rejecting Satya.
"Actually I'm hungry, but I can't eat" said Satya, who now changed her expression to sad.
"Why? did Mas Satya not match the menu?" Fatimah who heard Satya's words immediately turned to her and saw what happened to her husband.
"I'll eat if you eat too" Satya said with a smile on her face.
