Nadia lies lazily in the arms of Mr. Rafiq on a long sofa while hugging her affectionate and watching the gossip news that is being aired on television.
The clock on the wall shows at 07:04 a.m.

"Astagfirulah... Okay Old Mak.. Me and Diah immediately went to the hospital." replied Mr. Rafiq then hung up the phone.
"Why By?" ask Nadia
"Papa fainted. was on his way to the hospital. Let's go there!!" replied Mr. Rafiq with an anxious face.
They then rushed to the hospital where Datuk Iskandar was treated.
With a small run Nadia and Mr. Rafiq then headed to the ICCU (Intensive Cardiology Care Unit) room, a room that serves the care of adult critical patients who have heart problems.
Right in front of the room, Nadia and Mr. Rafiq saw Bang Thamrin and Bang Sugi sitting glued, bowed and sobbing.
"Papa??" asked Mr. Rafiq trembling and nervous.
"Innalillahi wainna ilaihi rojiun." said Mr. Rafiq who can no longer hold back his tear dam.
Datuk Iskandar's body was buried right next to the tomb of his beloved wife.
The funeral was held at 16:00 wib in the afternoon.
Nadia approaching. Hugging tightly into the body of the husband who was shaking held back the crying.
They strengthen each other among the droplets of pilu deliver the body of Datuk Iskandar to his final resting place.
"Good road Pa.. Welcome back to Mama.. May GOD forgive all of Papa's sins. Rafiq dear Papa.." said Mr. Rafiq slowly between his cries.
"Coughs... Goodbye.. Forgive all of Diah's mistakes.. Thank you for loving Diah sincerely. God willing, Grandfather is now happy with ALLAH. I no longer feel pain. Diah dear Datuk..!!" said Nadia also with her sobs.
The grief of losing Datuk Iskandar continues to be felt until the three-day study of the death of the deceased.
Just a day after the study, Zizi came to see Mr. Rafiq who was pensive at his desk.
"Assalamualaikum Fiq." he said surprised Mr. Rafiq.
"Zi....!!?!" replied Mr. Rafiq did not believe the presence of Zizi who was standing right in front of his desk.
"I'm sorry Fiq.." she said sobbing.
Mr. Rafiq just silently stiffly looked closely at Zizi.
"I just heard the news of Papa's death yesterday afternoon..Sorry. "he said again in a hoarse voice.
Mr. Rafiq shook his head.
His reddened face held back anger.
"What do you do to apologize?? It's no longer useful.. Where have you been all this time? disappeared like in the swallow of the earth. To give news as you please. Come and go as you please. Go..!!!" said Mr. Rafiq then left Zizi sobbing alone.
