Deck Mirna
Chapter XXII: Memories of Mirna (part 4: Mother's Departure)
The beginning of Mirna began to lose both parents starting from here.
First he lost his mother in a tragic accident. At that time, Mirna had two cars, the other one belonged to her mother. Siti has her own car since she got a job not only as an ordinary housewife or helping Zuko in handling a case. But also a job as a lecturer at a famous university in the eastern part of Javabirna.
Although many know Siti is a famous detective wife in Javabirna who actually beat top artists, but the students/students respect her as a lecturer or teacher in general. They say hello and chat about ordinary courses, not about the case that Siti had handled when helping Zuko.
Siti got this job already one week, shortly after she made up again with Zuko. She is very comfortable with her work outside the home. But her job as a housewife was never forgotten. Siti is a good daughter-in-law and sholehah to Bu Eka. If she came home from work, Siti never told Ms. Eka to take a glass of warm water to relieve her fatigue. He always takes it himself.
On Sundays, Siti always helps Ms. Eka cook, clean the house, flush the plants, and other homework. If her daughter is busy with her schoolwork, it is Siti who takes over. But if Mirna is not busy, she also helps her mother and grandmother tidy up the house, even if it is just tidying up her room and washing dishes in the kitchen. Because that girl was a kid. It is not yet time to cook and do other household chores.
Until one day, Siti went to college to teach. He left early in the morning because there was a morning class. He taught two times that day, morning and noon. Then he will go home in the afternoon after Ashar.
Zuko is busy investigating a case of an inmate who escaped from prison. I don't know what caused the man to be in prison, Zuko didn't tell. Clearly, he was a prisoner but instead escaped, after going to prison for 3 days and 3 nights. Zuko also left early in the morning. Until finally Mirna to school using angkot.
In the middle of the journey when going across the train tracks, suddenly a siren warning that the train will pass rang. Automatic closed cross. Siti stopped her car. Although the train was still long enough to pass, but the warning siren had sounded, so that no one died crushed by the train.
Siti could sigh. But he tries to be patient. Automatic shut-off crossbar is closed. Siti looked to the left and the front, to make sure that no mischievous vehicles would pass through the tracks, just because the train was still long past.
But from a distance, Siti saw a man who wanted to cross the train tracks. Before long, many saw the man. Gontai's path is lethargic towards the rails. It seems like.intentionally.
Yep. He seems to have deliberately walked like that towards the train tracks to be crushed by the car. You could say, the man was willing to commit suicide by reckless way he was crushed in the train.
Unwilling to look at her and try to prevent her, Siti got out of the car and screamed, "HEY! SAVE YOURSELFUU!!!"
People also began to prevent the man from committing suicide. Everyone is panicking. The man stopped walking in the middle of the tracks. Right in the middle of the tracks. The train is coming soon. His voice was already heard warning people not to walk on the tracks.
Officers guarding the automatic train's doorstop had also given a warning with the words of the command and the sound of the whistle. But late. It's all been happening. That fateful incident could not be avoided anymore.
Some residents who saw screamed in fear, seeing the man's body shattered into pieces after being crushed by a train. Including the Siti. He closed both his eyes. In a hurry, he got back in his car.
The automatic cross has reopened. All vehicles immediately left the scene of the tragic incident. Siti also immediately stepped on the gas pedal of her car as quickly as possible. It would be terrible if he remembered the incident.
From the opposite direction, a cement tanker truck was running on its own. However, it turns out that it can still make a car that is large enough to break the glass later. Not just that. Other consequences can kill a woman who became a driver in front of him. It is also not impossible to make the car does not explode and burn out. The car must have been smashed.
That assumption happened. The truck horn was made free. The violent collision turned out to only make Siti's car ringsek, not until it exploded. However, it makes Siti's life so floating. The injury is severe. His fresh red blood flowed like a river.
Zuko with his police force happened to cross the scene. Amazed by the crowd, Zuko stopped his car and went down to the crowd. Her cries broke unstoppably again, as soon as she saw who had the fateful accident.
"O Allah, SITIII!!!" screams to the body of his beloved wife.
Siti's lifeless body was tightly hugged and snatched by Zuko. The man hugged her with a hysterical cry. Then he called the phrase istirja'.
Aki Albi and his men who had come to see also grieved. Although it looks terrible, but this is very touching. How much Zuko loved his wife. To produce a daughter who sholehah like Mirna.
Aki Albi squatted slowly. He calmed the detective he helped. He advised Zuko to let his wife go.
...***...
At Siti's funeral, Mirna couldn't hold back her tears. He embraced the father while carrying a fairly large frame. Pigura photo of her mother wearing a hijab and smiling beautifully.
Mirna couldn't accept all this. He cried and asked for his father's embrace. As if he could not bear to see his mother who had been wrapped in a clean white shroud was buried. Clay for bearings is already provided. The cloth rope is opened, then the cover board is lowered and stored standing on its side.
The bodykeeper came out of the hole. And buried Siti's body. After being completely covered, gravestones were plugged into his head and legs. Do'a together at the start. After the do'a, the next sprinkling of flowers by his family. The escorts went home. The only ones left are Zuko, Bu Eka and Mirna.
Zuko hugs the headstone that has Siti's identity. He hugged the tombstone for a moment, and his shoulder was patted by the mother. Ma'am invited him home. Zuko finally wants to go home. He accepted the departure of his wife.
Now, she is a widower with one daughter and a biological mother.
