Griefcases

Episode 49's

"Where is Jamal? why haven't you gone home yet?" Inner Chia was agitated full of questions.

At that time the time had shown at 19:15. night, but unlike usual, Jamal had not yet returned home , he also did not tell Chia if he would come home late today.

At that time Chia had cooked the dinner menu, and had served it at the dinner table. While constantly pacing back and forth, Chia stared at the screen of her phone hoping Jamal would call or at least send a short message to inform Chia.

Too long to wait, until Chia did not feel asleep on the sofa living room of her house.

Finally at exactly 21:00. Jamal came, he went straight into the house, because it turned out the door was not locked.

"Pity my wife." Said Jamal who saw Chia fall asleep on the sofa.

Jamal walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water, as he was thirsty. Jamal's eyes were fixed towards the dining table, and it was seen that the food was prepared by Chia.

"Still intact? that means my wife hasn't eaten." Jamal Gumam.

"Sister!" Chia said to Jamal's surprise, Chia was spoiled in Jamal's hands in a state that was still sleepy.

"Darling, why sleep on the couch?" Jamal asked as he embraced his wife.

"Wait for brother, but I fell asleep." Said Chia with a faint voice.

"Geez sorry brother yes, there was a little overtime brother, there are friends who did not enter today, continue brother asked to help finish his work." Jamal Terang.

"Oh that? But brother didn't understand me, so I was worried." Said the spoiled Chia.

"But thank God you've come home safe." Chia again.

"Yes sorry, I wanted to go home quickly, so I didn't have time to hold the phone." The word Jamal pulls Chia into his arms and gives Chia a slight kiss

"Laper brother, haven't eaten." Said Chia raising her face at Jamal.

"We ate yuk." Jamal who immediately danced a chair for Chia to sit followed by him.

Though at that time, Jamal's stomach was very full, because he had eaten at work. But in honor of the hard work of his wife, who had been painstakingly cooking for him, Jamal also tried to give his stomach empty space and also eat with Chia.

After the stomach filling ritual was completed, Jamal changed his clothes. Now they have been sitting relaxed, waiting for the food they eat to land comfortably on their stomachs.

"Capek, brother?" Tanya Chia, who immediately took the initiative to stand up and give a gentle massage on Jamal's shoulder.

"It's a pity this way" Jamal said, showing his chest.

Chia turned around from the shoulder and now he was in front of Jamal.

"Where's my brother?" Ask Chia.

"It's honey!" Jamal led Chia's hand to his chest, feeling very faint Jamal's heart.

"It's right there." Jamal said again.

"Oh big brother, where can the heart be massaged!" Chia Protest.

"Let you know, every beat of your name is always and." Jamal made a hue on Chia's cheek.

"Basic gumbal." Chia pulled her hand from Jamal's chest.

Jamal laughs amusedly, and pulls back Chia's hand, until Chia falls on Jamal's lap.

Jamal begins his mischievous actions, begins a kiss on the lips and explores Chia's entire curves with his mesra fondling.

Chia resigned without a fight, she just let her husband do what he wanted. Now Jamal took Chia into his room, and continued his routine duties in their bed.

The night passed accompanied by the rumbling of the breath of two people who fought each other, and they were sound asleep because of fatigue.

The next day at the Maternity Hospital, Dio was anxiously awaiting the birth of her first child, with a restless feeling and a heart that kept praying, Dio paced back and forth and could not be stabbed calmly, at that time he was accompanied by his favorite aunt, who was also waiting for the delivery of Flowers, after receiving news from Dio.

"Son, calm down." Said aunt rubbing Dio's shoulder.

Ten hours of waiting, finally the wait was over as well, Dio heard the sound of baby crying from his wife's delivery room.

A gynecologist then came out to deliver the happy news, with a happy face mixed with sadness.

"Congratulations sir, baby girl. She's as healthy and beautiful as her mother." The doctor said.

"Alhamdulillah..so my wife how do doc?" Dio asked with a slightly paled face because he saw the doctor's facial expression that was like hiding regret.

"I'm sorry sir, for my father's wife we've done our best but..." The doctor's words stopped.

"But what doc? My wife survived, right, Doc?" Asked Dio with teary eyes.

The doctor simply shook his head, and sighed deeply.

"The wife cannot be saved."

"Innalillahi wa innailaihi roji'un." Dio immediately ran towards his wife's last bed, as well as the aunt who had entered with Dio.

"Honey.wake up baby! Look at our child born. She's beautiful like you." Said Dio to invite his wife who was lifeless to talk.

Dio held and kissed the hands of the Flower with tears in his eyes, the nurses and aunts in the room were crying and watching all that.

"Darling! Don't leave us, we still need you baby, our son and I need you baby." Dio's lips twitched saying that sentence.

It felt as though Dio's entire body was limp as boneless, although it was realized that it was all a path of destiny and God's provisions, but it was very hard for Dio to be left behind by his wife in such a state.

Aunty couldn't do much, she could only cry and rub Dio's back. Auntie understood very well how devastated Dio felt, once again Dio had to watch his loved ones leave for ever from this world, he said, after a long time when he was a child left both his parents facing the Divine.

"Bi..my wife bi, look she has successfully given birth to my son bi, she is great right bi?" Dio said as he hugged his aunt.

"Dear, she's amazing." Not many words that aunt said, because at that time the aunt had to receive a wound at once. Abandoned by Bunga who became the wife of his nephew, and saw Dio afflicted and destitute.

Combined with the sense of aunt at that time, not to mention when he saw the face of a tiny baby who had to lose his mother.

It hurt more than a sword that hit his heart, but Bibi kept pretending to be tough, knowing that there was now only a place for Dio to shed his sorrow.

Long story short, the corpse of the Flower has been mummified, now all that remains is the deep sorrow of Dio and his family. Even the mother of Bunga was unconscious when she got the news that her daughter was dead, like the sound of lightning breaking the earth, the mother of Bunga fainted repeatedly upon seeing her daughter's face for the last time.

Mother Bunga felt sorry could not accompany the delivery of his wife, because at that time he was visiting the family who were critically ill, who would have thought Bunga would go ahead of him.

Although lamenting death is not permissible in his belief, sadness is undeniable.

Hardly Dio let go of his beloved wife, at that time Jamal and Chia were present at Bunga Cemetery.

"Goodway my flower, my best wife, my heavenly angel. I sincerely let you go, bloom and treasure there, may you have the best place by His side. As beautiful as your name will always be in my mind and settle in my heart." Dio relinquished his love sincerely, and sought to accept all of this, as the best destiny God had given him.

Thousands of condolences Dio received, from santri and friends and relatives.

"Think about it, son." Said Mr. Kyai while patting the shoulder of his favorite student.

Dio nodded and tried to smile, though his heart was torn to pieces.

"Goodbye my dear friend, my sister, your work in this world is done." Said Chia with tears held back, reminiscing under her eyes.

"Welcome to the way of the shaliha woman, may your good deeds lead you down the bright path to her jannah." Jamal.

Jamalpun gave Dio a hug.

"You guys are great guys, bro." Jamal said to Dio.

Now that they are back home, Chia holds a tiny baby Flower while looking at him fixedly.

"Pretty." Said Chia followed by a clear bulir fall from the corners of her eyes.

An atmosphere of mourning was enveloped, a day that should have been a very happy time for Dio.
