The Charm of The Twins
148 News of Grief

A house looks crowded. So many bouquets in front of Mr. Rendra's house. Luxury cars were parked not far from Mr. Rendra's tent. An ambulance siren indicates the body has arrived at the funeral home.

All mourners stood up to welcome the body of the owner of the house.

Bram and Ayra also came out of one of the black cars. They also came with the bodies that departed from Australia. When the body was brought into the house, Mr. Rendra's wife ran to hug a woman. Though he wanted to rest in front of Mother Gede Ardhana. But Mr. Rendra's ex-wife first held Hilman's mother's shoulder. So he hugged the woman who had one name with himself.

"Hiks... Forgive Mas Rendra Mbak Ratih. Mas Rendra plans to return to Indonesia. He wants to see you and Gede. But Hicks...." The lips of the late wife of Rendra were no longer able to speak.

He was so shocked. Although the lips repeatedly said the word divorce and petition to be divorced, but the woman's heart was broken when the doctor stated that the husband was gone. Love is present when the friend is gone. The love that yesterday was lost because of anger, disappointment.

"Patiently, Mom.. We cannot reject destiny. The sustenance, death has its destiny." Said Mr. Rendra's ex-wife.

Heartache for my ex-husband. But when news emerged that the man died when two people he loved were in a state of unconsciousness, it certainly caused a sense of empathy and sympathy in the hearts of Gede and his mother.

Flashback.

"Radise... In the afternoon, I will return to Indonesia. After the business there is done. I'll be here soon. I have to see Gede and his mother. I wanted to apologize. I don't know why, I'm just worried that I'm not long. If the call to me comes at a time when my business with my fellow men is not finished. Whether they will forgive me or not. I'm gonna make an effort. And before I go there. Please forgive me, all this time I have not been your good husband. Good father to Hilman." Said Mr. Rendra to his wife.

Mr. Rendra also said he wanted to rest. Because he must be fit before flying to Indonesia. Mrs Ratih rushed to her room. He prepared a change of clothes to take to the hospital. As usual, he will stay in the hospital. Hilman just had a spinal cord transplant. Mr. Toha is a donor to Hilman. Mr. Rendra's father is still in a coma. He is not conscious. Because it is physically impossible. But he still insisted on being a donor.

Mrs Ratih was just silent. He pretended not to listen. The husband doesn't even cook anything. He hasn't even slept in a single room since he learned that Mr. Rendra was married before. Mr. Rendra is getting ready for a break. But late at night. Her chest hurts. Suddenly, he had trouble breathing oxygen. He tried to get up and leaned against the headboard of his bed.

One hand held his left chest. Even cold sweat was flowing so hard. He whimpered slowly. He tried to endure the pain. The man tried to get a glass of water next to his bed. But the pain in his chest and heart became more and more. Her chest feels hot. But his body feels cold. He walked towards the wife's room. He knocked on the door of his wife's room.

"Tok.Tok.Tok."

"Radise.... Radihs....Hhhh...huh...." Said Mr. Rendra while knocking on the door with one hand holding his chest. He rested on the door of his wife's room. He called his wife back.

"Radise... Rat..." Said Mr. Rendra.

The woman in the room was silent. She did not answer her husband's call. Hate, resentment had burst into his heart. She was overcome by the whisper of the devil to ignore her husband's call. To follow his anger.

"Hhhh... Irritatingly. Up yours. Wanna go stay away. Don't be bothered. I'm already pissed!" Said Madam Ratih while sitting on the bed. He had an intention to go to the hospital. He will wait for Mr. Rendra first to the airport.

"Mas... Mas.. You why?" Ask Mrs Ratih.

She turned her husband's body. But Mr. Rendra did not answer. Even the shirt worn feels soaked with sweat. But when one finger was placed by Bu Ratih on the husband's nose. The woman was silent, she looked at the husband's face. The book stood up immediately.

"Yes Allah.... Mas... Mas... Bangun Mas's...Wake up...!" Shouted Bu Ratih calling the husband.

After the medical team arrived. The examination is carried out in the hospital. The hospital declared that Mr. Rendra was dead.

"Innalilahi wa innalilahi rojiun." Said Mr. Rendra's Brother.

Finally with a heavy heart. Mrs Ratih returned to Indonesia. While the sister-in-law remained in Australia accompanied Mr. Toha and also Hilman. Ayra and Bram who heard the sad news did not expect that the sad news came from Mr. Rendra. When the Bram Family is still waiting for good news from Arumi that shows rapid development. Ammar sits between Bram and Ayra.

He held both Bram and Ayra's hands.

"Ma, Mum. Accompany Bu Ratih to Indonesia. Arumi has also passed her critical period." Said Ammar with a lowered face. Ayra's eldest stared at the marble floor of the hospital.

Bram knitted his two eyebrows.

"What's up, Am? We are nobody Mr. Rendra. If for that matter. Papa has forgiven the deceased. Because my dad is conscious. Papa can't possibly be wrong with anyone else." Bram said to the child.

Ammar turned to Ayra and Bram in turn.

"Then what if Gede's father died? Is papa not present on the day of the family's funeral?" Ammar.

Ayra was curious.

"What do you mean, son? How can you think of the impossible." Ayra said a little protest from her tone. He's the one who doesn't like to dream the most.

"Ma..." Ammar held his breath. He gathered all his courage.

So he tells that he heard himself that Gede is the biological son of Mr. Rendra.
