Melati At The End of Hope

Grief tidings

Episode 3

A few hours waiting, I didn't come home. Mother was already devastated, while Chia looked very hungry.

While stroking her stomach, Chia asked her mother again.

"Where's dad's mom anyway? why haven't you come yet? Chia's hungry, ma'am." Chia whining.

"Yes, son, Chia can just eat dulua yeah, maybe your dad has other business." Answer mother.

Chiapun finally ate first because his stomach hunger can no longer be compromised.

The atmosphere turned silent after the spoons and forks clashed with Chia's food, and the father had not come, not as usual.

Finally Chia's mother took the initiative to follow the father to the garden, but only half the journey, suddenly someone came to Chia's mother.

With a stupefied breath and hasty footsteps someone called out.

"Mom, Shila's mother!" Said panicked.

When looking, it turns out that the one who approached was Mr. RT.

"What's up RT? why is it like a scared person?" Ask mother.

"Look ma'am (huh huh huh)." The breath sounds of RT sir hunting down the tub of chased by wild animals.

"Yes sir, I'm listening!" Her mother Chia.

"Sir please calm down first, set your breath yes, slow down sir." Guide Chia's mother

Mr. RT also according to the instructions of his mother Chia to be more calm.

"Look Shila's mom, Chia's dad told me to stay home and not follow me to the garden." Bright sir RT.

"Yes sir, but my husband hasn't come home since! My husband hasn't had lunch yet, what exactly happened?" Chia's mother's boyfriend urges RT sir.

"Actually..." Mr. RT then stopped his speech, which made his mother Chia even more worried. What happened to Chia's father?

"Mommy, you better get back home! Poor Chia at home must be anxious too, right?" Continue with RT.

Confusion is growing, finally his mother Chia began to melt and follow the message from the father and advice of RT sir.

"Yes, ma'am, then I'll say goodbye." Ggas RT sir leaves his mother Chia.

Chia's mother nodded and thanked RT sir.

Arriving at home, it turns out his favorite child fell asleep in the middle room chair of his house.

Mom slowly stroked Chia's hair, and kissed her daughter's forehead. Smiling with anxiety because they do not know what really happened to Dad.

Mother tells that in the past, the father and mother long waited for the presence of a child. Before Chia was born, Chia's mother was ten years after her marriage to Chia's father, not yet blessed with momongan.

Until finally God left Chia in her womb and was born as a gift most anticipated later by Chia's father and mother.

Apparently that's what makes mom and dad, so pampering and very loving Chiara.

I did not feel my tears falling down her cheeks.

Chia woke up and hugged mom, apparently since Chia had woken up but pretended to stay asleep and closed her eyes.

"Where's mom?" Ask Chia again.

"Dad's on business son." replied the mother briefly.

"Oh okay. If that's how you eat first, then you haven't had time to eat" continued Chia and mother assented.

Father has not come yet, it makes the mother more anxious, and sometimes the mother shed tears. Although he tried to hide his anxiety from Chia, the look on his face and eyes could not lie.

"Mom.." call Chia down and look into the arms of her mother Chia said ;

"Chia loves Mom and Dad! if you see the sad mother and father Chia is also sad mom" he said spoiled.

His mother hugged and kissed the cheeks and forehead of his daughter while shedding tears.

Shortly after, someone knocked on the door of the house and said hello.

"Assalamu'alaikum ma'am, Chia." Call that someone.

"Wa'alaikumsalam.." said the mother and Chia.

They rushed towards the door to open and saw the ready coming.

"Dad! Chia hugged her father.

"Where is he? Chia and I have been waiting for you." Chia nodded at her father with a question.

"Yes well, we've been worried because I haven't been home since last afternoon" continued the mother.

"OK dad! Then now Chia's making me some hot tea." Chia said excitedly.

I stroked Chia's head while saying proud." Thank you father's son."

Mother invites father to sit and rest for a moment before being asked for an explanation, wherever father was this afternoon.

Glasses of drink came among his favorite daughter, and the father immediately drank a few sips while eating his favorite banana sponge.

After being quite calm, the father told me that this afternoon he did not actually go to the garden as he said he was about to leave, but the father drove a citizen who was seriously injured by being hit by a sharp object.

Grateful Chia's father immediately came to the rescue and delivered her to the clinic. Even though he arrived at the ward his life was no longer able to be helped, because the victim lost a lot of blood.

Inevitably, Chia's father must wait at the clinic before the victim's family arrives.

Usut had the victim's mouth turned out to be still a distant cousin of Chia's father. Previously the victim had a fight with his brother and was exposed to the emotional overflow of his brother who boomed and shiny, so he took a sharp object that was then swung towards his sister's hands, stomach, and chest.

The victim had several head-on collisions, so the victim could no longer hold on. But before that, the victim still had time to run to the road that turned the direction to the garden of his father Chia.

Although it was still a distant family, Chia's father did not want to get too deeply involved in the matter. From the beginning his intention was only to help and run humanity.

After getting information from the family, and make sure that there are families who pick up the victim. Chia's father decides to return home. While the case has been handled by the authorities.

Chia's relieved mother still asked Chia's father a question;

"Then the story, why did you leave a message to RT sir without giving a description?" Chia's mother was curious.

Father also explained that at that time his clothes were exposed to blood because it helped the victim. It just so happens that RT sir is passing by, and it is impossible for Chia's father to explain something, which is not yet known what the case is.

Seeing RT sir who was nervous to see a lot of blood, maybe RT sir thought Chia's father who committed the crime, finally Chia's father left a message that the mother does not need to follow to the garden.

But until now the unfortunate RT sir did not know the real incident, and maybe the RT sir was still dag dig dug der witnessed the incident last afternoon.

How poor!

The tired father finally took a shower to clean himself, then prayed and slept. But before going to bed Chia's father told her to return the clothes she was wearing after washing.

Because it turns out that when heading home Chia's father was worried to see his mother and Chia would be frightened to see a father's shirt full of blood.so borrow the clothes of a distant neighbor whose house is adjacent to the clinic.

Chia rushed to her room, and my father and mother went to the room to sleep.

A very stressful day.
