The Colorful Work World
Ch. 131 Fathers

Hearing the news, it was devastated and a great sadness went straight into my heart. I can't believe this is how one of the parents I care about will complete this mortal life.

By the time I received this message, the clock had shown me at 19:00 p.m. It turned out that he died at night and outside his hometown. He died while still in Bogor.

This bad news I want to say to my brothers and sisters. Mom was still in Bogor when this happened. So he was definitely the first to know about this.

First of all, I tried to contact Arip first. Because his position is currently still in Jakarta.

“Halo mas, what is it?”

“Have heard from the group yet? Father has died”

Then I started to tell her everything that had happened one day before. Yesterday, the condition of the father again weakened and at that time he was difficult to breathe despite using aids. Seeing this, the doctors there agreed to try to install a ventilator. This step is the last step, the mother agrees and pairs the tool to the father. There is no other way to save you than this.

I know, if it's on a ventilator. There is a 50 percent chance of failure. When I heard that, I prayed a lot that the results that came out were what we wanted. One day later, my father's life was gone.

After listening to my story, Arip was silent for a moment and said. “Alright now I'll go home.”

I asked him what he was going home with. He said he wanted to try taking the bus. But out of worry, I immediately informed this news to bude Weni who was currently in Tangerang. I hope the bus helps Arip.

Bude Weni herself is the older sister of the mother, she is Budeku. Currently she sometimes goes to Tangerang because one of her children is married and lives there with her husband.

Sure enough, Arip had experienced problems while riding the bus. He said the bus was leaving. But after Arip paid, the bus did not leave as well. Seeing this, luckily my son-in-law was already there and picked Arip up from the bus. So that he can get home with them.

It is true that the bus was on the mulu passengers. I don't see if it's a passenger who's in a hurry. When Arip said he was in an urgent situation and asked to leave immediately, he even got sprayed by the muck and bus driver. More or less that is what happened to Arip when he was about to go home.

After Arip, I told Lamda this. Heard his father died. Lamda just said

“Oh that's yes. Innalillahi.” Speak it briefly.

I closed the door to Lamda's room and then went to the last room I had to enter. That room was Yana's room. Different from all my other brothers. Yana's the only girl in the house. I don't know what he'll react to when he hears this news.

“Hiks...hiks.”

When I was about to knock on the door. I heard the sound of crying from inside the room. It seems he has learned this latest news from the WA group. Because my sister is very active in using the internet. After knocking on the door, I opened it then looked at Yana's eyes directly.

His face that was usually the story was now filled with tears. His white eyes had now turned red. Tears dripping from the eyes fell onto his negligee. Seeing Yana's condition, I said nothing and just hugged her for a few minutes. Because I couldn't stay with him for too long. There's a lot of things I have to do.

After calming Yana, I started to leave the house and started to help other residents welcome the arrival of the father. One by one om and aunt from the father's side came to the house to say condolences. It was a bit sad in my opinion, because when we had nothing, they had never stopped by the house at all. Only when this happened did they start coming.

Of course, all the father's sisters have received messages from the WA family about the latest father's condition. That's why they have immediately contacted here and there and prepared whatever is needed to welcome the body of the father to come here. Rumah Mbah we will use as a location for receiving bodies. Because it's bigger than the house I live in with my family.

He died about 7 p.m. Viewed from the distance between Bogor city and C city. Most likely my father until midnight. There are so many things to be prepared in such conditions. The most important thing is drinks and coffee. For all who await the arrival of my parents are fathers.

They should at least be given appreciation for being willing to be at midnight like this, not sleeping on a soft bed. But even come together to wait for my father's arrival. I saw more fathers waiting than mothers. Because some girl family went to the house to accompany Yana. Because he is now in need of a support system due to current conditions.

A few hours later, there was a siren sound from a distance, looking at the time and also the ambulance that came. Most likely it was my father. Seeing the waiting car has arrived, the parking lot is ready to direct the car into the house. Because the gerbnag house Mbah small enough to hold once when the ambulance began to enter.

After the ambulance stopped perfectly. The back door of the ambulance began to be opened by officers and then he began to lower the body. The surrounding residents present all helped them to move the corpse. Of course, I as his son was in the front row to bring the father.

We took the father down slowly and then began to return the goods owned by the ambulance that we did not need. The ambulance resumed its journey to return to the hospital as the task was done.

My father's body has finally reached home. It is seen that now the father is covered with cloth and we can not see his face at all. There are people who offer us whether to see his face one last time. But Yana refused because she was already frightened and her face was already very sad. It seems he is no longer strong if he has to see the face of the corpse of the father.

All the invited guests went home after praying for the body of the father. We also had a family to go home to rest. Because there are still many activities for tomorrow.
