Mournfully

"Well, where did they take Reva?" Shilla asked Daisy and Juan in a hurry.

"Mas Juan was with Non Daisy, they took Neng Reva to the hospital, Nya," Iyah replied.

"Hospital? What happened to Reva?" Shilla is worried about hearing her granddaughter being taken to the hospital.

"Neng Reva had convulsions, yes," said Iyah.

The two twin sons of Daisy were already fast asleep, after Iyah gave them ASI Daisy placed in a bottle. Because of her triplets, Daisy worries about not being able to split her breastfeeding time. Daisy always keeps her ASI stock in bottles.

Reva continued convulsing, Daisy grew more worried because Reva's lips were turning blue, her face was deathly pale. Arriving at the hospital, Reva is immediately taken to the IGD.

Daisy pacing back and forth in front of the IGD room door. He was anxious because Reva's face was so pale, he was also anxious because according to his examination at home, Reva seemed to have a problem with his lungs. The doctor came out after half an hour, slowly he explained to Daisy and Juan.

"So, my daughter's fine, right?" Daisy approached as the doctor came out.

"The Father and Mother had an acute respiratory infection. We tried everything we could, but... I'm sorry," said the doctor, not yet finished The doctor spoke, Daisy hysterical.

"No way!!" Daisy was crying.

"Patience, dear. You can't be like this!" Juan hugged Daisy. Juan was also sad, but he had to be strong for Daisy.

Daisy felt the loss again. He was sitting limp in the chair. They brought Reva's body home. They don't use a hearse, but Daisy's back on the bench like when she came to the hospital.

Shilla waits for Daisy and Juan to return from the hospital. He sat in the living room worried.

"What's wrong with you, baby?" Denis looked gently at his wife.

"I'm worried about Reva, Mas" replied Shilla.

"What's wrong? Why are you so hot?" Denis grabs Shilla's shoulder and invites her to talk on the sofa.

"Eitherway! Daisy and Juan are taking her to the hospital. I'm very worried, Mas," said Shilla anxiously.

Not long after, Daisy and Juan arrive. Daisy enters by holding Reva covered with sling up to the head. Shilla felt astonished, why was Reva covered like that. Shilla saw Daisy's face flushed like she was crying, her eyes were also swollen.

"Why Reva? Mama heard from Iyah, Reva's sick. What happened to Reva?" Shilla approached and Daisy sobbed back.

"Reva, die, Ma!" Daisy said with her heartbreaking cries.

"Died? Isn't Reva okay this afternoon?" Shilla took Reva from Daisy's sling. He cried rubbing Reva's pale face. His granddaughter was asleep forever.

They buried Reva the next morning. Now Daisy and Juan only have Raffa and Raffi.

Maybe it's the path of destiny, I just pray, may my daughter be calm and happy there. Reva was only five days old, she was still very holy and definitely she was in heaven now.

Daisy breastfeeds Raffi while daydreaming. The voice of Iyah, awakened Daisy from her daydream.

"Non, Den Raffi is asleep" Iyah said. Daisy looked at Raffi in her lap.

"Eh, yeah. What about Raffa, Bi?" Daisy hands Raffi to Iyah so Iyah can put Raffi to bed.

"Den Raffa was asleep, had already drunk a bottle of milk, Non," replied Iyah.

"Oh, yes, I'm going to bed. If they cry and I don't hear it, Auntie just knock on my door" Daisy said. After she finished saying that, Daisy passed to her room.
