The Successor of the Family

The Successor of the Family
Unexpected Event


"Your grandparents and grandfather were involved in an accident. At home there is only Mbok Imah and security guard to wait for you to come home. I told them about the news that Abel was in the hospital and will be notified to your parents. This is because your parents have not been able to be contacted until now," explained the teacher with a guilty face.


The teacher certainly had to tell them the true events so as not to expect much about the presence of his parents. Moreover, later their minds will certainly go everywhere so that at least it must be explained in such a way as not to occur misunderstanding. Hearing the news that had just been delivered, the teachers who were there immediately looked towards Anara, Arnold, and Alan who were sculpting in his place.


The three of them could no longer think clearly from hearing this shocking news. Moreover, this news along with Abel who was affected by the disaster. Soon the teachers immediately hugged the three who looked dazed with teary eyes.


"Calm down, you need to be patient. All of these events happening at the same time there must be a silver lining for your family. After this, your family relationship will be more closely intertwined. I'm sure of that." said the teacher, hugging Alan.


Anara had sobbed in the arms of one of her teachers as well as Arnold. While Alan just stared straight ahead like he was thinking about something very heavy. As a child who is still 5 years old must be faced with events like this that no doubt make his soul shaken.


"Why baleng-baleng, gulu? Napa macalah catu has not been apelecai fire already there are others? Ita ndaknah you know, tok dikacih this cepelti test. How is this?" alan lirih.


Hearing the words of Alan who was soft but the terms of meaning made the teachers there his eyes began to glaze over. Even they immediately turned their eyes to the other direction so as not to show sadness in front of the three. They are also confused what to do, the article for the approval of all Abel's actions requires his family to sign.


Hix... Hix...


Hua.... Hix...


Alan immediately released his embrace from the teacher who could not answer his question. He immediately hugged his two brothers who both let go of his arms from the teachers. The three hugged each other until there was a sound of sobbing and heart-wrenching crying. The three little boys who now do not know what to do to deal with this incident without being accompanied by family at all. Even the teachers there had shed tears from seeing this incident.


"Patience... Patience, son. Do'a the same God, must be helped later in an unexpected way," said the teacher with a hoarse voice.


"Oh Allah, this Christmas day. Come antu tami buwat kacih tau papa and unda talo tita dicini auruh antuan," said Alan with a pushy tone.


Even now his third face was flushed with tears that continued to flow on both of their cheeks. Luckily, there were people who wanted to donate blood to Abel after the hospital gave an announcement. At least Abel's life is not on the edge.


"What is this, sir? We can't be here till nightfall. But pity also if there is no adult accompanying," whispered one of the teachers to his colleague.


The day had indeed moved on in the afternoon but the operation carried out by the medical team had not been completed. They become confused themselves because at home must be his family is waiting for the return of everything. But if they leave the three little boys here without any adults accompanying, of course not the heart.


Although Arnold was just as confused as his two brothers, he was still able to think clearly. He does not want to trouble others because of problems in his family. He believes that he and his two younger siblings can get through this incident well.


Arnold took off his arms from his two brothers then rubbed his rough tears. He smiled at the teachers who immediately misbehaved after hearing the words from him. The teachers looked at each other as if they were discussing to determine the right move.


"Emmm... Son, forgive us for not being able to accompany you until night because the family is waiting at home. Oh yea... For Arnold and Abel's bag at school it was in my dad's car. I brought you a change of clothes from home. For hospital fees, Mbok Imah gave an ATM that was stored in a small bag. He said Arnold knew the ATM's pins, "clearly one of the teachers.


Arnold just nodded his head and followed the teachers to the car park to get his things. Anara and Alan chose to sit in front of the door of the IGD room that was still tightly closed while continuing to pray. They can't follow Arnold because they have to be careful if any information is obtained.


The teachers finally decided to go home because the cell phone kept ringing because his family had contacted him. With a heavy heart, they bid farewell to the three little boys with eyes that looked pityfully at everyone. However one of the teachers would accompany Arnold to take care of Abel's administration first before leaving them.


"Angan angis telus don, sister Nala. Anti Alan it's angis you know," reprimanded Alan who saw his brother continues to sob.


"Where is it crying? That's Abel's sister who's sick in there," upset Anara who immediately wiped her rough tears.


Alan could only scratch the nape of his head that did not itch because suddenly it even made his brother upset. Though his intention was to comfort his brother who was still sad, but instead he became an outlet of his frustration. Now Alan is condemning himself because it turns out what he did was wrong.


"Cekalang caja angis, themalin-temalin-temana? Nominelin Kak Bel telus tan keljaanna," upset Alan quipped his brother.


"Yes, I was wrong because I kept nagging Abel. Udah dong, do not need to be reminded again," upset while pursing his lips.


Finally Alan preferred silence rather than arguing with his older sister who was as unwilling to give up as he was. They both sat quietly in front of the IGD room while waiting for Arnold's arrival. Before long, Arnold came with his belongings followed by one of his teachers. After storing all the items he was carrying, the teacher immediately said goodbye and gave his mobile number if there was something emergency.


"You better take a shower. I've asked the administration to open one of the temporary rest areas here" Arnold said.


Both nodded their heads. They immediately brought the items towards the family-only rest room waiting together with one of the administrative officers who had just arrived. While Arnold is still waiting in front of the IGD room to find out the condition of his brother.


"Mother, papa, grandpa, granny... Hurry up you come here. We need you guys" he mumbled softly as he stared softly at the door of the IGD room.
