Droplets of Night Creatures

321. Don't be sad !

Rashid was worried that Sheina would not come home. He tries to contact Sheina but her phone is no longer active.

Until the time leading up to Isya a shocking news reached Rashid's ears. She gets word that Sheina had an accident while returning home from an out-of-town assignment. The car driven by Sheina's friend was mired in the ravine and passengers in the car were declared unsafe.

Rashid was in shock when he received the news. His brain is dead-end. He rushed to the accident site.

When he arrived at the crash site Rashid immediately joined several police officers on duty. He introduced himself as a police officer and asked for information about the passengers of the car that entered the gorge.

" Do you know them...?" ask one of the police.

" One of the passengers was My Wife.," said Rashid in a hoarse voice.

" Inna Lillahi wainna ilaihi roji'uun's. We are sorry for your wife's death. But we also have to say if the bodies of passengers are difficult to recognize because they are burned. Only bags containing their identity cards scattered near the scene of the crime were found" said one of the police with a sad face.

Rashid seemed to stagger back after hearing the words of one of his colleagues. He did not expect to lose his wife so soon.

Without being able to prevent tears from flowing down Rashid's face. A moment later Rashid screamed while mentioning his wife's name many times. He did not care even though at that time he became a spectacle of citizens and police on duty.

Rashid opened his eyes and looked around. He did not recognize the place and felt very foreign. But a familiar voice in the ear greeted him to the point of making Rashid turn his head.

" Rasyid is dead...?" ask bi Mey.

" Bi Mey, where is this...?" ask Rashid.

" We're at Mas Hospital. Rashid fainted, so he was brought here. I got a call from someone who said that Mas Rashid collapsed at the crash site and kept being brought here. I was also told that" Bi Mey's words hung in the air.

Rashid saw that the woman before him could no longer hold back his tears. Rashid knew what Sheina's assistant was going to say.

" Yes Bi, I know." said Rashid in a raucous voice.

" I didn't know Sheina's age was long. I was sad not to be able to squirm his body for the last time. Police said his body could not be identified because it was burned, ", Bi Mey said in between tears.

Bi Mey's words took Rashid by storm. She came back crying sadly. A few moments later, Rashid fell silent. He felt dejavu, as if he had experienced the same sadness recently. But Rashid had no idea what caused her to cry sadly.

" Why does this sadness feel so familiar to me. I have experienced the same sadness. Sadness about losing my wife. But which other wife, my wife is just Sheina. Seinget I, there is no other woman I marry besides Sheina. Yesterday Sheina died twice...?" rashid said in his heart.

But Rashid chose to brush off that taste. Rashid did not want to dissolve in sadness because he had to take care of his wife's body immediately.

\=\=\=\=\=

The news of Sheina's death quickly spread. Many people who knew Sheina also came to the funeral home to give prayers. Among them are Aruna, Kautsar, Matilda and George.

Rashid was devastated by the passing of his wife. His weak condition made him have to lie down with an infusion hose on his hands. Luckily George and Kautsar were willing to represent to receive condolences from the guests present.

Most of the guests asked for Rashid's whereabouts because they wanted to convey their grief directly to him.

" Where is Rashid...?" ask the guests.

" Rashid is in the room. Being infused because the condition is too weak..," said Kautsar.

" Cassian. Mas Rashid must have been devastated to lose his wife. Moreover, they have not been married for long" said residents to be mutually unpretentious.

Kautsar and George nodded.

By night one by one the mourners left the funeral home. Aided by Kautsar and George, Bi Mey began tidying up the messy house after being visited by many guests earlier.

Bi Mey looks busy or pretends to be busy precisely because she does not want to show her sadness. Because among all the people who loved Sheina, Bi Mey was the one who was hardest hit by Sheina's departure. Bi Mey was only trying to be strong because she believed that there was someone else who deserved to be sad, Rashid.

" Don't grieve Syid too long, Sheina must not like to see you are rich gini..," Matilda said when she saw Rashid still crying while lamenting her wedding photo with Sheina.

" I didn't expect Sheina to leave so soon. We have many plans and dreams for our future. I..," Rashid's speech was interrupted because he could not continue his speech.

Aruna who carried Kanaya also advised Rashid. Not without reason he did. At that time Aruna saw the spirit of Sheina was still in the house because it was still hampered by her husband's riddho. Sheina's spirit is still waiting for her husband's sincerity to let go.

" Aunty Matilda is right. Sheina is sad because it is hard to leave. That's because he's still waiting for Mas Rashid's blessing" Aruna said.

Aruna's words made Rashid flinch in shock. He raised his head to look at Aruna.

" What do you mean Run, is Sheina still here...?" rasyid asked who had indeed heard from Sheina about Aruna's ability to interact with astral beings.

" Yes Mas..," said Aruna quickly.

" It's not that natural to Run. I heard that the dead man's spirit was still wandering around his house and sometimes appeared in front of those closest to him for forty days after his death...," rashid said as he rubbed his wet eyes.

Seeing the current condition of Rashid, no one would have thought that Rashid was a police officer. Because the Rashid condition looks fragile and crybaby. Many times he was seen crying and it made anyone who saw him feel pity.

" The souls of those who died came to see the activities of those he left behind. Some come with happiness because they see many people praying. Some also came because they were called by the excessive lament of death so that their steps toward where they should be blocked. And Sister Sheina belongs to the second kind of Mas..," said Aruna.

Aruna's words startled Rashid. He knew that what was done would weigh on the late Sheina. But Rashid realized that he was still difficult to let go of his wife.

" I'm sorry Shei. I'd like your steps to be heavy but I'm not willing to let you stay. I have to do as Sheina Darling said" Rashid said in a trembling voice.

" Pray Mas...!" kautsar said as he patted Rashid on the shoulder.

" It's the Tsar..," said Rashid.

" There must be something that makes Mas Rashid curious. And that's what hindered Sister Sheina's move, '" Kautsar said.

" You are right, Tsar. There's still something I want to say to him. But I don't know how to..,." said Rashid sadly.

Kautsar looked at Aruna as if asking for his wife's readiness to help Rashid. Up ahead Aruna seemed to nod her head in agreement until Kautsar was smiling.

" My wife is willing to help Mas." Kautsar said.

" Is Aruna really...?" ask Rashid not to believe it.

" Yes Mas. I'll have to go down the mountain to help you and Sister Sheina take off the wedge between you. And just so you know Mas, this is the first time I mediated after I gave birth to the twins..," Aruna said with a funny face to make everyone laugh.

" Thank you Aruna..," said Rashid sincerely.

" Don't say thank you first. I haven't started yet. Wait for the twins to sleep first yes, then I can calm down to help you later." said Aruna.

Rashid nodded with a smile. He hopes to convey all his feelings to the late Sheina during mediation.
