"How are you doing, Bas? Where's Tumben Sania?" Katarina asked her first sister.


"At Liana's guard house you know Liana can't be left alone." Baskara explained his wife's whereabouts.


"Sabar Bas, I hope Liana gets well soon. Have you taken him to a specialist?" Ask Katarina.


"Udah but all in vain the doctor has raised his hand" said Baskara sadly.


Liana, Baskara's twenty-year-old second child, has been mentally disturbed for two weeks, she looks like she's afraid of something and sometimes cries out in fear. From the hospital also stated that there was no disease obtained from the results of Liana's examination.


Baskara's phone rang and he picked up the phone from his youngest sister Anastasia.


"What's? Don't play games when you talk to Nas!"


["No, I'm not kidding Sabina died Bas, come quickly."] Say Anastasia while sobbing.


"Come on Katarina, we rush to Sabina's house," Baskara shouted as he stood up and turned off his phone.


"What is this Bus?" Confused Katarina.


"Sabina died" said Baskara.


"Oh my God, what happened to you Sabina." Hysterical Catherine.


"Here come on." Baskara rushed to his car followed by Katarina and her youngest child Adara.


While in the other car the children of Katarina followed behind Amara and her husband and Anando Amara's younger brother.


Feelings of anxiety raged in the mind of Katarina what happened to her sister until reportedly died when just this afternoon her sister was visiting her home.


He hoped that the news received from Anastasia was just a hearing error but unfortunately, the scene in front of him was very painful.


Sabina was found in a terrible state in the bathroom, her head was immersed in a basin of dirty clothes with the position of the body sitting on the ceiling and hands hanging backwards.


Katarina immediately hugged Rosa Sabina's youngest child who was six years old, Rosa's face looked pale and her eyes looked empty because of her shock. How not, the little girl was the first to know the condition of her mother.


At the time of the incident Sabina was alone with her youngest child, while Rahani her first child was working in West Kutai, Rikardo's second child Sabina who is in second grade High School is playing Futsal with her friends and Galih's husband Sabina is serving in Samarinda.


With great difficulty Baskara, Anastasia and Katarina and Amara's husband lifted up Sabina's body and moved her into the living room.


Baskara was busy calling back and forth in a hoarse voice, while Katarina and Anastasia were weeping and lamenting that their sister and brother were already stiffened.


His body was pale, his face slightly blue and there were blackened circles in both eyes.


"Yumuuuu!" Hysteris Rikardo who just returned from the futsal field.


"What, why my mother? What's the matter? Mom, wake up Mom, wake up." Rikardo shook his mother's body.


"Patience Child, patience." Anastasia grabbed Rikardo's body and calmed him in her arms.


"What happened to my aunt Anas? Why is my mother so," Rikardo kept shouting hysterically.


"Patience Nak patient, aunt also do not know," said Anastasia.


"Mother ... mother .. why did my mother have to leave so soon auntie, Rikar did not want mom to die." Rikardo's spoken in tears.


Two hours later, Galih, who had just got out of his car, rushed to the body of his wife Sabina, he seemed shocked because he had left his wife in good health and was not sick but now his wife was stiff in the living room.


Towards dawn Rahani first child Sabina who works in West Kutai arrived with tears to see the condition of her mother who welcomed her with a lifeless body.


The next day, many mourners were shocked to hear Sabina's sudden death. Galih who sat beside Sabina's corpse seemed agitated at times he replied to a message and picked up the phone secretly from whom.


"Please baby, I hope you can understand today my wife's funeral. Please." please." The chattering was slow on the phone but could still be heard by Katarina.


After receiving the call, Galih put on a sad face and let out tears to cry for his wife. If you don't remember Rosa sitting on her lap and the mourners, maybe Katarina has fired hot lead into Galih's head.


Isak crying over the departure of Sabina Sabina's body was buried in the Christian grave of Rondong Demang Tenggarong Kutai Kartanegara.


The funeral service was completed and all mourners and families returned to their homes, including Baskara. He went into Liana's room crying and laughing alternately.


"Please son, tomorrow you'll be cured." Said Baskara who stroked the hair of her second child.

Maghrib at Sabina's house.


"Rosa's mom's laundry first huh, Rosa don't go anywhere." Sabina placed a plate of rice in front of Rosa and turned on the TV for her.


The little girl nodded and then she ate rice and side dishes that had been provided by her mother while watching her favorite SpongeBob movie.


Sabina's maid had not come from yesterday, she asked permission not to work for a while because her mother was critical in the hospital so Sabina was forced to wash clothes alone. The rice is over, thirst whacks Rosa's throat.


"Mom drink!" Call Rosa.


"Mom!" Shouting Rosa.


"Buuuuu Rosa hauuus!" Still no answer from his mother.


Rosa also rose and went to her mother, she was surprised to see the condition of her mother demikan. He ran outside the house and called his neighbor Sandy who happened to pass in front of his house.


"Sister Sandy please, please brother Sandy." Call Rosa to the seventeen-year-old who's near her house.


Sandy's forehead shriveled she approached Rosa. "What did Rosa call Sandy's sister?"


"Sandy's sister Rosa's mother is dead" Rosa said plainly.


"Ah, do not carelessly dedek Rosa can not say that," said Sandy confused.


"Rosa is not lying" said Rosa.


"Oh yeah, Sandy's sister's going to the shop first."


Sandy's steps came to a halt as Rosa pulled her shirt from the fence in tears. Out of curiosity Sandy opened the fence and followed the pull of the boy's hand which still held his shirt tightly.


Sandy was surprised to see the condition of Rosa's mother, she tried to lift Sabina's body but because of her thin body she was unable to lift Sabina's body larger than her.


"Let's take sister to Rosa's house ya."


Sandy holds Rosa and hasten to pick up the bike and then slide to the house appointed by Rosa, the house of Anastasia, to report the situation of her mother Rosa.
