In her tears Wira cursed herself. He blamed himself for not being able to keep family photos with his late wife and children.
" I'm such a fool! I often take this picture off and hold it until I fall asleep. Why don't I see the condition of the nail that stuck in the wall for the hangers. Why did this have to happen!"
The hero continues to hug his family photos, then tries to re-attach the detached sides of the frame. Then he picked up pieces of glass strewn around his family's photo of him falling.
" Ah. tomorrow I have to buy a new frame to replace this. But, ah no, no. I don't want to change anything. These are precious memories. Even if I replace it with a new one, but it will feel very different. I better fix it."
The hero picks up glue, nails, and hammers in the back shed. Although all corners of the warehouse he followed, but Wira found nothing. He tried to find it in another room. In the room to the kitchen he searched. But he found nothing, too.
" Where do I put my equipment?" said Wira then returned to the warehouse to look for him.
" Yet. meet! I was looking here but nothing. Why is it suddenly here? Ahh.. am I less focused on looking for it? all right, I don't want to be dizzy thinking about that. I'd better go straight, fix the frame."
The hero stepped into the living room and took the frame and glass fragments he had collected and placed them on the living table.
" First I will glue the frame first, only after that the glass. But how I glued the shattered glass into pieces like this.. Ahh. That's all I can think about later. What matters is the frame is."
Thirty minutes passed, finally the Hero could finish his frame. He then fiddled with the glass fragments and combined them very thoroughly.
For two hours, he was busy with his work. Many times he changed the pieces of glass that he installed because they did not fit the place.
The clock kept turning, not feeling the chicken had crowed. Indicates time is approaching dawn. But Wira still can not combine the glass fragments properly. He still had to finish off the three pieces of glass that were still not installed.
" Oh my God, my head is so dizzy. Help me to finish this job." complained Wira, while twitching her head that felt very heavy.
After saying, Wira fell asleep. At first glance he dreamed of his late wife and child. They called out his name and smiled at him, before they moved away and disappeared into the light.
" My wife. my son." cried Wira between conscious and unconscious.
Suddenly the phone rings. The hero awoke from his sleep. Then he picked up his phone.
" Hello.." greet Wira in a hoarse voice.
" Mister Wira." answered a woman on the phone who turned out to be Novi.
" Yes, what's up Nov?" ask Wira.
Wira tried to listen to Novi's voice that sounded soft. He waited to pick up the phone for more than ten minutes. But Novi said nothing more. The hero only hears the sound of Novi's breath that sounds like snoring.
" Hehe... Novi, Novi.could you sleep while struggling to call me. Anything, you must be missing me." said Wira while grinning.
" I still haven't finished my work. I have to finish it before it's morning."
The hero returned to compartmentalize the remaining glass fragments. Five minutes later, he finished it. Then he flushed the glass flakes that had been neatly arranged with liquid glue.
half an hour later, the glass that he had glue was dry and was already in the form of glass again. But when you want to be installed in the frame, the photo inside is not clearly visible. The hero sat drowning. all night he did a useless job. The hero is confused by what he is doing. He threw the glass that he had fixed into the wall.
" Praannng.." The glass hit the wall but did not break at all.
" why? Why can't you? I worked on it all night but I didn't expect the result to be like this. Why am I so stupid!"
The hero banged his forehead against the wall repeatedly. His forehead looks red. Blood slowly came out from the edge of his bruised forehead. He then shouted at himself.
" Novi, I'm sorry, even though you are now my wife, but I can't forget my memories with my wife and children. I love them more than anything. I'm sorry Nov. Far or near, you cannot replace my late wife.
At first glance I miss you, but when I miss you, I miss my late wife more and more. I'm so stupid! I shouldn't be like this!"
After saying, Wira's phone rings back. Novi called again. At first Wira did not want to pick up the phone, but eventually she picked it up.
" Hello, Nov..."
" Hello Mr. Wira, sorry I wanted to call you, but instead fell asleep. Novi kangen with Mr. Wira."
" It's okay Nov, same.I miss you too." Say it with a half smile. He knows, it's not Novi that he really misses.
" Hehe. don't lie to Novi, sir. Novi knows, the one Mr. Wira always misses is your first wife, right."
" No Nov, I've forgotten it. Please don't talk about him anymore. Now my life is just you. Let him be calm in nature. He would be happier living with her."
" Hemm.all right, Mr. Wira. What will you eat later? Sorry, Novi can't cook for you."
" Don't eat most noodles, it will be a disease, you know. Besides, if you eat noodles, where can be full.."
" Yes, I'll eat at the rest. If you're tight, you've made noodles just the same as eggs."
" Hemm. yes, it is. The important thing is that Mr. Wira should not eat. May eat noodles, but not often."
" Yes, Nov. Where have you been? Is it close to where your aunt lives?"
" Not yet, sir. There is no quarter of the journey. It was two days and two nights."
" Gosh, I think it's only been a few hours. Why would I let you come with them, when you're pregnant."
" Yet Mr. Wira wanted to. I just follow the will of Mr. Wira. If you won't let me, I won't go either, sir."
" Well, the important thing is to take care of your health and your womb, Nov. I don't want you guys to do anything."
" Yes Mr. Wira, don't worry. I'm fine, really. Yes, then connect later, yes. I still feel sleepy."
" Yes already then. I also want to rest first. I couldn't sleep last night. Feels lonely. We usually laugh together. Now I don't know how to make this house so crowded again."
" Already, don't be too ignored. Although there are Uncle and Aunt, I am lonely too. My soulmate is far away from me."
" Please pray for me so I can catch up with you Nov. I wish I could accompany you when you're about to give birth."
" Yes, I keep praying. Our son needs his father's arrival. So don't come, yeah."
" All right, but I can't promise. But I'll try to get me to come."
" Yes, I await your arrival, Mr. Wira. Then I'll hang up the phone first. Have a good rest, Mr. Wira."
" Have a good rest, too, my wife." Wira then hung up the phone from Novi.
He looked back at his family photo. Desperate, he finally took back the glass he had slammed and put it on the frame.
" Oh, let it be important that nothing is less than this photo. Just leave the glass broken, the important thing is that the photo is safe." muttered Wira, then put back the family photo, on the wall he had given a new nail.
" Akhhh... What is this? Why am I suddenly shaking? Am I hungry again?" The soul gasped, when without realizing it his body seemed to lose all its energy.
Heavy sweat pours from between the hair to the entire body to the bottom. His mind started to muddle up, he seemed to be able to sense an extremely terrifying death aura. But he doesn't know who's gonna die.
" Who am I going to kill? or who's gonna kill me? Why is my mind so unstable. What's going on with me?"
Not knowing what he was going through, Wira became confused with him. He thought there might be a bad person heading towards him. Or there's a bad guy who's gonna hurt his sister's family. Without thinking, Wira took her phone and called Bono.
" Hello... Bono, are you still around my sister's house?"
" Out Wira, what's wrong? did you get the signal for Wijaya's appearance?"
" No, Bon. But I've been feeling bad lately. Bon, you keep an eye on my sister's family. Don't let my sister's family members out of the house without your eyes."
" Beres, you don't have to worry. I'm always ready to standby. Anyone who dares to approach Mr. Tanu's house, will not hesitate to finish him."
" Hehe.. You're too creepy Bon. What if the one who came to his house, me? are you gonna finish me off?"
" Eh, I don't mean that. If it was you, I'd know it was you. There's no way I don't recognize him."
" Hehe.. It's okay Bon. I'm just kidding. Don't be so serious. The important thing is to always be on standby. Keep an eye out for anyone trying to sneak up on the eastern hillside, who's about to climb to the top of the hill."
" Good Mr. Wira." said Bono then hung up the phone and returned to the room provided by Rani to stand guard in front of his house.
" Rani, Tanu, my wife.May I be sick? I'm afraid I can't help you. My mind is fucked up, it would be very dangerous if the enemy came to attack me. I'm not going to be ready and able to deal with the attack."
The hero returned to his room and laid down his weary body. In his heart he said. "Is this a sign that my death is near?"
After several times toppling his body and changing his sleeping position, Wira finally fell asleep. The new dream begins.
