Trauma of Marriage
2. Bereft

2 weeks later..

I was sent out of town for 3 days.

"Dad left first yes" said Father to Rani, Alea and Mother

"Yes Dad, don't stay in prayer. If you've heard us" answered Mom while kissing the back of Dad's hand

"Yes mom, take care of the kids"

"Yes, Dad, did you say that? rich wants to go far"

"Hehe yaudah assalamualaikum"

"Wa'alaikumusalam" replied Mother, Rani and Alea

A few hours later Dad told Mom that he had arrived at the mesh that his office had provided.

The next day all day Dad did not tell, but I still think positively maybe Dad is busy working so did not have time to tell.

The office of Dad called..

"Good day ma'am?" greet a man from the phone

"Yes noon, who is this?" ask Mom

"I'm Assistant Manager of Mr. Ahmad's office"

"Oh yeah, what's the need, sir?"

"I would like to inform my family, if Mr. Ahmad.."

"Why my husband?" ask Mom again

"Sir Ahmad died ma'am, he went into the bathroom and fell down quite hard."

My tears are slowly flowing.

"We immediately took Mr. Ahmad to the nearest Hospital. But unfortunately, when he arrived at the Hospital, he was no longer there" explained the assistant manager with a voice holding back tears

"Innalilahi Ayaaaaaah😭😭😭" I immediately limp to hear the news

"Mom? is mom still there?" ask the caller

"(srrkk) yes I am here" replied Mother holding back her tears

"The body of Mr. Ahmad immediately we bring it to the house yes ma'am. It might take a few hours. Then I close it. Wassalamu'alaikum"

"Wa'alaikumusalam.(srrrkk)" Mother continued to cry could no longer hold back her crying.

"Dad, why did you go ninggalin kita😭" I cried broke

"Assalamualaikum" said Rani who had just come from school. "Mother?! Mother why?" ask Rani astonished

"Sister, Dad.." hold his mother's sobs

"Dad why mom?" Rani asked confused because she saw her mother holding back her crying to tell Rani

"Dad? Why mom?"

"Daddy (srrrkk).. Dad died kak😭"

Rani was silent for a moment and could not believe what she heard.

"So Dad's office called Mom and she said Dad fell in the bathroom. When I was taken to the hospital, I didn't help my brother." Replied the Mother who could no longer hold back her crying while sobbing

"Innalilahi wainnailaihi raji'un Father.." Slowly Rani's body was limp and tears welled up

"Now Brother tell Alea yes, and try to comfort her. Because Alea is closest to Dad. Dad's body is now on the way home to be buried"

"Yes ma'am, but why can't you help Buuu? Isn't Dad's place of service and the Hospital not far away?" Rani asked as she wiped her tears that kept flowing

"Yes ma'am, Rani understands" replied Rani who then went to Alea

Rani still could not believe what she had just heard. Rani approaches Alea who is studying in her room. Rani told Alea while hugging Alea.

"Dek.(srrkk) Dad is not there" said Rani who also held back her crying

"What does brother mean?" Alea asked confusedly

"Dad died on deck, now Dad's way home to be guaranteed." Rani replied with her cries that she could not bear anymore

Alea was crying so much that she was really Dad's favorite daughter, hearing the news Alea felt her world was blown to pieces.

After his father's body arrived home, all cried and felt lost the figure of a loving family man and always reliable outside or inside the house.

A series of mourning flowers came to meet around Rani's house sent from her father's coworkers.

Alea who had looked at the face of his late father did not stop crying over the departure of his father.

"Ayaaaaaah 😭 why I live in Lea, I've promised to take Lea for a walk again, Dad promised to buy anything Lea want😭 but why Dad went 😭 Lea do not want to be left Daddy😭 Dad do not go!!😭" Alea told her late father and shook Dad's body

And she did not stop crying even though she was reading a letter,

Rani herself was so down but she didn't show it because she was more worried about Alea.

The late father was buried, Rani and Mother buried him. But not with Alea, Lea fainted as her father was about to be taken to the funeral.

Alea was really a lot of dumb and did not want to eat until Lea's body became thin and weak.

Mother asks Rani to call the doctor to have Alea checked and get vitamins or medication.

The doctor arrived and approached Alea who was lying down.

"Alea? Doesn't his stomach hurt in that emptying?" ask the Doctor

"Sick" Lea replied softly with soft, puffy eyes

"Well, sir, the doctor gave me the vitamins so Alea could be strong again. Alea do not be sad continue dong, later his father follow sadly see you cry mute" said the doctor calmed while examining Alea with her stethoscope

"You want me to be sad?" keep the Doctor

"No" Lea replied with teary eyes

"Yaudah don't be dumb anymore yes, before taking vitamins as well as medicine you first eat yes"

"Yes, Doctor" Alea replied

"Mom, sorry yes.may the deceased be placed in the best place of God. aamiin" said the family doctor to Mother

"Yes, Doctor, thank you. How's Alea doc?" said the mother who had started to calm down

"Alea's got Maagh. He hasn't eaten anything yet?" ask the doctor again

"Yes not yet sir" replied Rani who was sitting next to Mother. "He was from earlier dumbfounded and suddenly crying, dumbass again, crying again so it continues"

"If you can not let him bengong ya, kasian fear later even mentally disturbed. Continue to be persuaded to want to eat, this medicine for a sick stomach is taken after eating and this vitamin to increase appetite. if it has run out of medicine I make a prescription so I can buy it to the pharmacy." the doctor says while writing down a prescription

"Yes Doc, thank you" said Rani while taking a prescription from the Doctor

"Yes together, if so I say yes Mom, Son Rani. Alea finished this meal huh, inget what said Mr Doctor? if Lea's sad, I'll be there sadder to see Lea hurt like this. Lea doesn't want you to be sad, does she? So you have to eat yes, continue to take the drug as well as vitamins" said the doctor gently

"Yes sir" Alea replied limply

Rani was so down but she didn't show it because she was more worried about Alea. And Rani didn't forget to tell Dimas about his father.

Hearing the news, Dimas even held a do'a together for his father Rani who happened to be in the cottage with his friends.
