Tonight, Lina's house was crowded by neighbors and residents around G village.
Everyone, looks sad with the departure of Lina that they never expected, because it seems sudden.
But, many also talk about the life of Lina, who is already Jamal's second wife.
And of course, their conversation there are positive and negative in terms of their respective length.
"Unexpectedly yes, it turns out Lina's age is short. After being Jamal's wife."
"Yes, he is no longer the same as he used to be!"
"Yes. He used to be arrogant, selfish and obviously not okay. But since he became Jamal's wife, he's been a good one."
"Did she fight just as Beautiful huh? there are so many wounds on his head."
"Can be. In fact, he's not downstairs to the hospital to get checked out."
"Don't, there's a conspiracy. Should be investigated!"
"Eh, you guys! Not just to pray and gossip!"
The people who had been talking about Lina and her family, finally fell silent after being reprimanded by someone.
But their conversation was heard by Tarno. Who finally came to think the same as the person earlier, namely suspecting Jamal and Beautiful.
But what really happened was...
Flashback when Lina ran home, then chased by Jamal from behind.
Jamal found his wife lying on the porch of the house, with a bloody head on the back.
Jamal panicked and carried his wife's body into his own house. And give it to the living room couch.
Apparently, Lina slipped on the children's marbles, who were playing on the front porch of the house. And at the time he ran, he did not pay attention to the road, so the incident was unavoidable.
Jamal panicked and shouted out to Beautiful. Saw a lot of blood coming out of his second wife's head.
"Yes! Mama! Call the doctor quickly!"
Beautiful, who was still in the kitchen, came out in a hurry. Hearing the voice of her husband.
"What's up, Mom?"
Beautifully shocked, when he saw the state of his brother. He immediately searched his phone to contact the nearest doctor, so he came to his house to check on his brother's condition.
Shortly after, the doctor came and immediately examined Lina's injuries.
"Bring this hospital alone Boss!"
The doctor suggested taking Lina to the hospital, for further examination.
But, Lina who had regained consciousness held Jamal's hand. Then weakly word, "ti_dak us_sah Masss... A_ku, ti_do not k_uat again. Ma_maa_af, sa_sal_lah Li_lin_na Yes Mass... Da_an Deck, In_dah. Mba_ak ju_ga min_min_ta maa_af..."
Shortly after, Lina breathed her last in Jamal's arms.
"Lina..."
"Mr Lina..."
That afternoon, Lina was gone for good. After realizing all his mistakes all along.
Back at night, at Lina's house. There were many mourners coming. To pray and pay their last respects to Lina's body.
Because Lina's body will be buried tonight.
But when the body was raised to be taken to the cemetery, Tarno prevented the officer who carried the coffin.
"Wait!"
"What do you mean Tarno?" tanya Jamal was confused, with Tarno's attitude. Who forbid their activities, to bury Lina's corpse.
Finally, Tarno said his thoughts, by asking all citizens to hold Jamal and Indah. Then take her to the police station, to be checked.
He and several residents, will bring Lina's body, to be autopsied at the hospital first.
"I suspect, if Lina's death is the act of Jamal and Indah himself. Moreover, there were quite alarming injuries. Then why don't they take him to the hospital for a check-up, just call the doctor."
The explanation given by Tarno, agreed on by some people but also on by some people.
Moreover, there was the doctor who was also among them all.
"It's not so Mas Tarno."
The doctor tried to give everyone understanding and explanation, with what he knew this afternoon. At the moment she was called by Indah to come check on Lina's condition.
He also gave everyone the understanding that, Lina herself did not want to be taken to the hospital.
Unfortunately, the explanation given by the doctor was not trusted by Tarno.
Tarno thought that, the doctor had been paid by Jamal, to give false information. So that people will believe what he says.
This makes everyone have different thoughts on each person.
Everyone forgets, including Jamal himself, if in front of his house, and Lina's house, already installed cctv. Because Jamal anticipates events that he doesn't want. Just like the time Indah was pregnant, and was sealed by her son kang Wahid in the bathroom.
The cctv was installed, for the safety of her children as well. When they play in the yard. To be able to see how they are at the time of playing. So there is no misunderstanding, if there is a dispute or a fight between his children.
Eventually, they all decided to appoint a few people, to be made representatives. When looking at the cctv footage in his house Indah.
So too with Tarno.
He came in, and watched for himself, how it had happened this afternoon. When Lina slipped on the marble and finally fell, so that she could not be helped anymore.
Although there were actually Jamal's children who could be questioned, but the testimony of minors, of course, could not be used just like that. Because a small child, must have a sense of fear or get pressure from circumstances around. If he sees how people are looking at him with a shroud, or are asking questions.
Finally, everything unfolds.
Jamal and Indah, proven innocent. Because, all purely because of Lina's own carelessness when running.
Likewise when shown the cctv recording in the living room. Where is the doctor coming, then check on Lina. And when Lina was aware, then had a chance to talk to Jamal in a stammer.
Although Lina's voice was not recorded on the cctv trail, but all of it has provided answers and evidence, for the doubts of the surrounding residents who had accused Jamal and Indah.
All of them, finally apologized to Jamal and also Indah. Then invite the others, to continue the funeral plan Lina's body that was delayed earlier.
Now, everyone went back to talking about Lina's situation. Which has been proven if, all of that is indeed Lina's own fault.
*****
This afternoon, in accordance with the approval of the showroom, they delivered three trucks to Jamal's home address.
The arrival of three new trucks also made people talk about Jamal again.
So, whatever Jamal does both positive and negative, it will still get responses and comments, from the people around him.
Actually, it is very common in this life. And not only Jamal, maybe, the readers there are also something like that. Hayoo...
