At the End of my Waiting
Chapter 68 (A fatal accident)
The sound of an explosion was heard after the car driven by Daddy Indra, Zahira and Mama Risa fell into a ravine, and everyone around the scene immediately reported to the authorities.
Residents flocked to help evacuate the victims, and only Zahira survived outside the car before the blast, because Zahira was sitting in the back seat and the car door was open, so Zahira was easy to get outside, while Mama Risa and Daddy Indra died in a charred car.
All the victims were taken to the Hospital, and Police checked Zahira's sling bag to find out the victim's identity.
After the police checked Zahira's cell phone, the Police found several missed calls from Rendi's number, and the Police tried to call back Rendi, because Zahira's phone had my husband's name written on it.
📞"Zahira, thank God you finally called too, I'm worried about your situation. Where are you now?" ask Rendi when picking up the phone from Zahira's number.
📞"I'm sorry, is this true with the number of the Husband who has a mobile phone?" ask the Police.
📞"True Sir, why is my wife's phone on you?" asked Rendi who was astonished.
📞"We from the authorities would like to inform you if your Wife is currently in the Hospital, because the car she was riding in had an accident," replied Mr. Police.
📞"How is my wife's condition Sir?" asked Rendi who was worried about Zahira's condition.
📞"Your wife is currently still being handled by the Doctor, but there are two World Death victims in the car that your wife boarded," replied Mr. Police.
📞"Innalillahi waina ilaihi raji'un, it must be my wife's parents sir," said Rendi.
📞"Then we wait for your arrival, and we will send you the location of the Hospital where your wife is treated," said Mr. Police, then hung up the phone call.
Rendi let out a long sigh trying to neutralize the pounding of her heart.
"May Zahira be fine," muttered Rendi, then approached Grandma Puspa who was currently welcoming Aira mourners who came to her residence.
"Ren, why do you look so panicked?" asked Grandma Puspa when she saw the pale face of Rendi.
"Nek, Zahira and her parents had an accident" replied Rendi softly.
"How are they doing now?" ask Grandma Puspa who looks panicked, because after all Grandma Puspa loves Daddy Indra and his family, even though Daddy Indra has often done evil even to the point of harming the late Airlangga and his family.
"Barusan authorities said that currently Zahira is still handled by the Doctor, while two other people who were in the car have died with a burning condition. It looks like it's Om Indra and Mama Risa" replied Rendi
"Inalillahi waina ilaihi raji'un, Grandma did not think that Indra and her family would leave so soon. You are patient Ren, hopefully Zahira is not up to anything," said Granny Puspa who was in Amini by Rendi.
"Then Rendi left first, Grandma" said Rendi by kissing the back of Grandma Puspa's hand.
"Be careful, son, you should not drive yourself, Grandma is afraid if you are up to anything, because at this time your condition is not good. If there's anything Rendi loves Grandma ya."
"Yes Nek, Rendi will also tell the driver to drive," said Rendi, then said Salam before leaving.
Along the way to the Hospital, Rendi continued to recite do'a because Rendi was so afraid of losing Zahira.
"Zahira will definitely be fine," muttered Rendi trying to continue giving positive suggestions to her.
A few hours later, Rendi arrived at the Hospital, and Rendi immediately dropped her body when she saw a corpse covered by cloth coming out from inside the IGD room.
"Sorry, are you the Patient Husband of the accident victim named Zahira?" ask the police behind Rendi.
"Yes sir, I am the late Husband of Zahira" replied Rendi.
"Sorry sir, your wife is alive, and has just been moved to the treatment room. Sorry if I just told you," said the Police Officer, and Rendi, who heard him, got up and ran to see Zahira.
Rendi was in a daze and only realized that she had not asked Zahira which room was moved to, and the Police Officer who followed her told her the name and number of Zahira's treatment room.
Rendi immediately hugged Zahira's body which was currently still unconscious, and Rendi was so grateful that Zahira was still alive, even though there were currently many wounds on Zahira's body.
"Alhamdulillah O Allah, because it turns out Zahira is still alive," said Rendi with tightened his embrace.
Zahira slowly awoke when she felt the tears of Rendi dripping down her cheeks.
"Mas Rendi" said Zahira softly.
"Thank God you finally realized too. Why are you scaring me Zahira? I don't think we'll ever see each other again, I'm afraid of losing you" said Rendi and Zahira wiping away the tears that kept dripping on Rendi's cheeks.
"I'm sorry if Zahira has made Mas anxious. Mom, how are Mom and Daddy? because Zahira had an accident with them," asked Zahira, because when Zahira managed to get out of the car, Zahira immediately fainted, so as not to know the situation of her parents.
Police who were already inside Zahira's treatment room returned Zahira's belongings they found.
"Sorry Miss, this is all Miss's stuff, and is it true that you had an accident with both of your parents?" ask the Police.
"Really Sir. How are my parents now? they're okay, right?" ask Zahira.
"I'm sorry Miss, only you survived the accident, because the car you and your parents were riding in was charred by fire, causing both of your parents to die" replied Mr. Police.
Zahira immediately cried hysterically when she heard that her parents had died, because she never thought she could lose her family in one day at a time.
"There's no way Daddy and Mama left Zahira, if we lost Aira, why would they leave Zahira alone? Mas, now Zahira has lived a kara."
"Darling, you are not alone, you already have me, and I will always protect you with all my soul and body" Rendi said, hugging Zahira's body, and at this moment Zahira spilled her cries in Rendi's arms.
"I'm sorry for the disaster that happened to your family, then excuse me first" said Mr. Police.
"Thank you very much for your help, sir" said Rendi.
"Together Sir," said Mr. Police, then leave from inside Zahira's treatment room.
Rendi gave Zahira a glass of water so that Zahira would feel calmer.
"Now Zahira drinks first yes, Zahira must be strong, and we will together pass through the joys and sorrows in this life," said Rendi.
"Thanks a lot Mas_" Zahira's words were cut off because suddenly Rendi silenced her with a kiss, and Zahira rounded her eyes because it was her first kiss.
"Don't say thank you anyway, because right now Zahira is Mas Rendi's responsibility. Now what would Zahira eat?" asked Rendi, and Zahira just kept quiet because she was still trying to neutralize the pounding of her heart, especially now that her cheeks were so red as boiled shrimp.
