After the Rain

Bereft

The phrase Star was cut off when he saw his mother fall.

"Mother!" shouted the star, approaching his mother who was lying on the ground after falling from the terrace about half a meter high.

"Astaghfirullah, Auntie!" Farhan was screaming. "Grandma what the hell? What did Grandma do to Auntie?" grunted annoyed. A split second later, Farhan jumped in to help Daniar.

"Grandma just did what Grandma wanted to do. Get that woman out of here! Grandma no longer wanted to see his face. Damn you fucking carrier!"

Miss Maryam again cursed Daniar in front of many people. Aji's relatives and guests were seen still in shock as a result of Ms. Maryam's treatment of her son-in-law.

"Astaghfirullah, Mommy! Why are you talking rudely to Aji's guests? Don't you realize whose house you're in? This is Aji's house, Mom. And I don't have the right to evict Aji's guests!" assertively Aji who directly exited the bathroom when she heard the commotion outside.

"Well ... You useless ghost!"

Miss Maryam snorted in annoyance. A moment later, Miss Maryam returned to Hana's room. He felt sick of having to meet the daughter-in-law he did not like.

"Gee!" Daniar grimaced as Bintang and Farhan helped him to his feet.

Aji approaches Daniar. "Are you okay, Deck?" tanyakanya.

"N-no, Kang. It's okay, that's okay" Daniar replied.

For a moment, Daniar took a deep breath. Feeling a severe pain around his stomach.

"Come, Bi. Farhan helped papah inward" said Farhan, offering help to get Daniar into the house.

"It's okay, Han. Bi-bi came home all-in," Daniar replied, staggered.

The pain in Daniar's stomach was getting more intense. Daniar himself was no longer able to stand. So Daniar decided to go home.

"Kening Aunt sweats. Aunt must have been shocked by Grandma's attitude earlier. Instead, Bibi goes in and drinks first to calm down, so that Bibi's condition can stabilize again," said Farhan who saw Daniar began to sweat.

"It's all right, Han. Thank you," Daniar replied. For a moment, Daniar looked at his sister-in-law and said, "Niar is sorry, Kang. Forgive Niar for coming today."

"It's okay, Deck. Thank you for coming" replied Aji. "Farhan's right, Dek. Emm .. You better get in. Calm yourself before you go home" he continued.

Daniar smile. "It's okay, Kang. Daniar pamit go home. Assalamu'alaikum!"

Neither Aji nor Farhan, they could at all change Daniar's stance. In the end, they could only nod in response to Daniar's farewell.

Wh-tok-tok!

The star knocked quickly on his father's car window. The act of the Star, suddenly made Danisa wake up. He then lowered his car window.

"Well, why Bin?" asked Danisa who was astonished to see the stars shed tears.

"Mother, Ta ... Mother ber ... Mother is bleeding," replied the sobbing star.

"What?! Where's your mother?" danisa was surprised.

"Mother du-duk in that stall!" The star pointed to a stall opposite the car park.

"Astaghfiullah!" peekot Danisa's. A moment later, Danisa opened the car door and immediately ran towards Daniar. He looked at his nephew as he said, "You wait here!"

"Dek, ru-mah sa-kit," said Daniar who immediately fell as soon as Danisa arrived before him.

"Oh my God, Brother!"

With a swift, Danisa caught Daniar's body so as not to fall to the ground. Danisa was very surprised when she saw the bloodstains on the white robe clothes that Daniar wore. No doubt, Danisa held Daniar and took him to the place where the car was parked.

"Open the back door, Bin!" danisa's orders once she arrives at the parking lot.

The star opens the car door. After that, Danisa entered and laid Daniar's weak body in the back seat.

"Tata, Bibin is just sitting here. Bibin wants to accompany Mother," said Bintang.

Danisa just nodded her head. A second later, Danisa opens the steering door and enters. He started the car engine and gasp it. He didn't want anything bad to happen to his brother.

The little hand of the Star continued to wipe the sweat coats on both of her mother's temples. The star again sobbed when it saw the blood stains getting widened. The Bintang chest feels tight. However, as the firstborn, he had to be strong.

Still remembered clearly the message his father said when he would return to work.

"Now Bibin has grown up, has become a big brother. So Bibin should be able to keep Mommy the same as Bibin's sister candidates. As the firstborn, Bibin cannot be whiny, must be strong. Because later, Bibin who will replace the duty of the same Father Mother to take care of the younger brothers, Bibin."

"OK, Dad. Bibin promised, Bibin must take care of Mother."

The stars shed tears again looking at her helplessly drooping mother.

The star wiped both of his cheeks. "I have to be strong. I have to be strong!" he muttered repeatedly.

Arriving at a nearby hospital, Danisa stopped her car in front of the ER entrance. The car door opened, the tomboyish girl immediately ran to seek help.

"Suster, wait!" yelled Danisa, stopping a nurse who was about to enter the ER room.

"Yes, Mas. Can I help you?" ask sister Ana.

Mas's?! Ish, you think I'm a guy what?

Danisa grunts resentfully in her heart. At first, he wanted to protest with the call. However, it was also not wrong that the nurse called him Mas. With clothes and hairstyles resembling men, it was natural for people to consider themselves a man.

Stupid time with a call. The important thing is that I have to be able to read Niar. Hopefully, Kak Niar's fetus is okay.

"That, Sus. My sister passed out, I need a gurney to take her to the ER room" Danisa said.

"good. Momentarily, I brought her a gurney first," replied Sister Ana.

Shortly after, Sister Ana comes by pushing the gurney. Danisa helps Ana to get to her car. Arriving in front of the car, Danisa opened the back door of the car and carried Daniar. After that, he laid Daniar on a gurney.

"Ikhwan, please help!" sister Ana shouted to the male nurse who was about to enter the ER room.

"Well, Sus," answered the nurse, the Brotherhood.

"Alright, Mas. I'll take her brother to the ER room. In the meantime, please take care of the registration. So that patients are treated immediately," orders Sister Ana.

"Good, Sus."

Meanwhile, at Aji's house, the commotion made by Ms. Maryam, raises a big question mark for Aji's family.they are very curious about what Miss Maryam said to her daughter-in-law. What does this have to do with Khodijah's death?

"Aji, can you ask me something?"

"Of course you can, Uncle. What would you like Uncle to ask?"

"Why can your mother-in-law be so angry with her daughter-in-law? And why did he also say that his son-in-law had become an angel of death to your wife?What's going on, Ji? Is it true everything your in-laws say? What's the connection between you, your sister-in-law and your wife, Ji?" cecar Haji Koswara is none other than his uncle Aji.

"Actually, this is just a misunderstanding, Uncle. Aji herself doesn't know what the problem is between mother and Daniar. However, Khodijah used to say that his mother did not like Daniar too much. Aji herself does not know why," replied Aji.

"Lantas, what does this have to do with Khodijah's death?"

"That's not true, Uncle. The death of Khodijah was the decree of the Almighty. Mother behaves like that, maybe just to vent her disappointment. In the past, when Khodijah was staying at his mother's house, he asked Daniar for 10 million dollars. And they used Khodijah's illness as the reason. Aji does not want the pain of Aji's wife to be used for their benefit. Therefore Aji brought Khodijah home from mother's house. Maybe I was disappointed that I didn't get the wish. And the incident earlier, hmm .. it seems like today mother seemed to get a chance to vent her anger," said Aji.

"Oh, Ji ... Your in-laws are you? Ish, there's just-there."

After registering, Danisa went to the ER room to see her sister's condition. However, when he arrived at the door of the ER room, Danisa's forehead frowned as the Daniar gurney was being pushed out of the room.

"Excuse me, Mas. Can you come with me for a minute?" pinta Sister Ana to Danisa.

"But ... my sister?" tukas Danisa, worry.

"No need to worry, your sister is about to be taken to the action room," Sister Ana replied.

"action room? But why, Sus?" ask Daniar. Anxiety and wonder enveloped his mind.

"That's what I want to talk to you about, Mom. We'd better talk in my room, please" continued Sister Ana.

"Good, Sus. But can I bring my nephew?" ask Danisa, a little doubtful.

For a moment, Sister Ana stared at the Star. Perhaps, he was weighing both the good and the bad if this little boy was in the hospital. However, just as she realized no one could look after the little boy, Sister Ana finally nodded and allowed Danisa to bring the Stars into her room.

"Please sit down, Mum!" sister Ana's orders.

Danisa pulls two chairs in front of Sister Ana's desk. One for her, and one for the stars. Shortly thereafter, Danisa and Bintang occupied their seats.

"So this is it, Mas. Your sister has lost her baby. That's why we're me–"

"Lost the baby? A-what does that mean ... My sister had a miscarriage?" tanya Danisa cut out Sister Ana's sentence.

"I'm sorry, Mom. We've tried our best, but the bleeding is quite intense, so your sister lost her fetus. And right now, we're about to have surgery to clean up the rest." Sister Ana continued.

"Astaghfiullah! Operation?"
