Days change and months change months. Now, the age of Liza content has entered the age of nine months. If other couples are impatient to welcome the birth of their baby, then it is inversely proportional to Fariz who is very anxious and confused with the increasing age of Liza content.
During pregnancy Liza just complained of abdominal pain that suddenly came. As much as possible Fariz took Liza to the hospital to check the condition of the wife's womb including hurting the one in Liza's suffering. The man was always haunted by fear, fearing that Liza would leave him. As Indri explained if only 80% chance of the wife will survive during childbirth later.
"You're going straight home?" doni asked when Fariz was cleaning his desk.
"Yes, I don't want to leave my wife for too long" Fariz replied staring at his division one friend.
"It's a pity, even though there's a company party tonight."
Fariz only smiled faintly in response to Doni's words. More important is the current Liza.
"I'm going home first." Fariz patted Doni on the shoulder and then left the man.
It didn't take much time for Fariz to get to his rented house not far from the company he worked for. Wrinkles appeared on Fariz's forehead when he saw several people standing in front of the rented house.
He accelerated his footsteps with a heart that was timid. Suddenly a bad feeling began to creep in his chest.
"What's wrong? Why are you gathered here?" Fariz immediately poked a question as everyone was now staring at him.
Early Mother who was a rented occupant who was side by side with Fariz's rented house, came forward to approach Fariz who stared question mark.
"Your wife was taken to the hospital. We called you but you didn't pick it up."
Both Fariz's legs instantly relaxed. He looked in shock.
"What happened to him?" Fariz again demanded a question to Mommy Dini although at this time her body suddenly felt weak.
"We don't know what it was like, but your wife was lying on the porch in blood___"
"Stop it," Fariz interrupted Early mother's speech." Now at the hospital where's my wife taken?" ask Fariz not to waste any more time to see Liza.
"The Gem Hospital."
After hearing Dini's mother's reply, Fariz immediately rode his motorbike to the hospital in question. Don't ask how Fariz is feeling right now, shrouded in fear and worry.
He just begged that everything was fine especially to Liza.

Black clouds clumped in the sky and covered the sunlight through illuminating the earth which now seemed to darken along with raindrops.
Under the drizzling rain, everyone was gathering at a funeral. It had been two weeks that the woman had left everyone so devastated by her sudden departure. The woman who is now lying in a wet mound of earth.
Fariz stared sorrowfully at the mound of land that now looked beautiful with the sprinkling of flowers that he had just sown.
Umi Fardah held back her sobs. Guilt lodged in his chest in the woman. Now it is only a matter of so deep regret. I haven't apologized yet but he's gone.
"Your parents didn't come here?" abah Hasan looked at Fariz beside him.
"Maybe he misses Liza so much."
Fariz's face was more and more bent sad to hear the words that Hasan said.
"Now we're home, Mi." Abah Hasan rubbed his wife's trembling back with his sobs.
"May you calm down there" said Fariz rubbing the tombstone with sadness.
Death is a sure thing and it comes unexpectedly.
Fariz, Hasan's abah and Fardah's umi and several other people began to leave the cemetery that looked muddy. For a few days it has been raining.
"Assalamu'alaikum's chat..."
"Goddessalam..."
Sharifah immediately opened the door, the middle-aged woman was so busy taking care of her granddaughter that she was incessantly crying.
"Liana's still crying, Bun?" Fariz immediately asked the question when he entered the concrete house.
"Yes, Riz. Already Mother loves formula milk but she continues to refuse," Sharifah replied with a worried look on her face.
"Here, let me carry it."
Fariz took over her daughter from her in-laws. Liana's cry eased slightly despite a slight hiccup. The baby's tiny hands were clutching Fariz's cocoa shirt.
"I'll take it to the room first. Thank you for taking care of my daughter."
"No problem. She's also Mother's granddaughter so you don't have to boast like this."
"Are you going back to town?" ask Syarifah before ending his conversation with his daughter-in-law.
Fariz nodded."Yeah, maybe one more week I'll be there."
"Why not just stay here, Riz? You open a business here, Mommy slightly objected if you return to Jakarta with Liana."
Fariz paused the words his father-in-law had just uttered.
"I'll consider."
A smile appeared on Sharifah's face with Fariz's reply. After saying that Farid stepped foot into the room that used to be occupied by Liza.
"Lay here first huh, son." With great care Fariz laid her little daughter on the bed.
Liana looked a little calm who was previously crying nonstop. A tiny baby with a look similar to Liza stared wildly at the blue-painted room. Fariz smiled looking at Liana's pretty face.
