MY HUSBAND MY BEST FRIEND'S BROTHER
CHAPTER 25
Not waiting for long his mobile call connected with Rangga Ratna's younger brother. Aldo was unable to tell Ratna's mother so Aldo decided to ask Rangga who delivered the sad news to Oma Siska.
The closeness of his family with the Ratna family, makes them communicate with each other. Mother Siska already regarded Aldo as her own son.
"Assalamualaikum.
"Waalaikumsalam, this is Rangga I am Aldo Ratna's sister-in-law". Aldo replied in a raucous voice.
"Hi bro, how are you?". asked Rangga cheerfully when he found out who contacted him.
"I guess who it was. Because this number is not stored in contact.
"Rangga". cried Aldo sobbing.
"What's wrong with you, bro?. Did something happen to you guys?". asked Rangga astonished to hear the sound of Aldo's cry until sobbing.
Aldo did not answer Rangga's question. A moment Aldo fell silent to strengthen his heart to convey the news of the suffering that befell their families.
"Kak Ahmad and Mbak Ratna died because of the Rangga accident.
It was unable to feel Aldo conveying the sad news to the Ratna family but Aldo had to convey it.
Rangga who heard the sad news from Aldo made him pause for a moment and wiped the tears that escaped wet his cheeks.
"Innalillahiwainnalillahiroziun.
"We will take him to our house to wait for you before he is buried. And I have not told Mother Siska about this news Rangga, I cannot bear to share this news with her.
"What about Caca?". asked Rangga lirih
"Caca is still in the care of doctors at this time".
"O Allah, grant the healing of the servants' Prophethood. Rangga immediately moved from his chair to quickly return home to inform his mother.
"We will get there soon"., said Rangga and disconnected their cellular connection.
On the way to his residence, Rangga swiftly booked a plane ticket through his mobile phone.
Finished donating his blood to Caca, Destra again approached Aldo who was talking to someone through a mobile phone.
"Sir, soon we will bring the bodies of Caca's parents to my house first before being buried.
"Okay Om, Destra will be on guard here to ensure Caca's condition". replied Destra who understood Aldo's confusion who looks worried about Caca's condition is still critical
"Om Aldo need not worry, Destra has also asked the hospital to provide a special room to treat Caca and put 2 doctors to stand guard alternately.
"Thank you so much sir". Aldo exclaimed in relief at Destra's willingness to look after Caca while he and Erni returned to their home to carry Caca's parents' bodies.
A doctor came out of the IGD room and followed by two sisters who pushed the gurney where Caca was lying and took him to a special place that Destra had ordered to the hospital.
"How is the doctor?". Aldo asked the doctor who treated his nephew.
"Alhamdulillah, He has passed his critical period sir. He was very strong after bleeding a lot from the part of his neck that was hit by a piece of car glass ", replied Dr. Hardi.
"Thankfully, God has given him long life because it can last until now.
Hearing the news of Caca who has passed his critical period Aldo and Destra expressed Gratitude by prostrating on the floor of the hospital. Erni cried happily hearing what Dr. Hardi said.
After making sure Caca is in a special room complete with medical devices and guarded by 2 doctors as said by Destra, who was, aldo's heart calmed down a little to leave Caca at the hospital to take Ahmad and Ratna's body home before being interred.
Not forgetting Erni contacted her housekeeper to prepare everything before they arrived by bringing the bodies to her two sisters-in-law.
With the help of Deni Aldo's eldest son everything that Erni ordered quickly they prepared. The middle-aged woman also informed the neighbors of the sad news that befell her employer's family.
During the trip to his residence, Aldo did not forget to tell Alki about the sad news.
Alki who was at home with his wife and daughter was very surprised to hear the news of the death of Ahmad and Ratna who had an accident to take the life of his prospective ironclad.
Soon Alki and Anggi packed up to immediately treat Aldo's residence without bringing their daughters.
After Aldo and Erni leave the hospital to take care of Caca's parents' remains, Destra remains faithful in Caca's room despite the doctors who always monitor him.
The sound of Azan reverberating from the mosque indicates the time of prayer dzuhur has arrived. Destra stepped out of the room to pick up the prayer equipment that was always available in his car and returned to Caca's room.
Destra awudhu before performing the fardhu dzuhur prayer. He carries out his duties in the same room where Caca is being treated.
Finished the prayer dzuhur, Destra read the Qur'an Surat At-taubah and chanted it very melodiously next to Caca's gurney lying down.
"Wake up my heavenly angel". cried Destra softly in the ear Caca finished reading Alqu'an.
Destra reached for the flat object he placed on the nightstand not far from where Caca lay to inform Alki of his whereabouts.
Dozens of missed calls appear on his mobile phone screen from Alki, Edo and also Anggi mami.
"Assalamualaikum.
"How's Caca doing, son?". asked Anggi
"She has not regained consciousness yet, but she has gone through a critical period".Destra replied, looking at Caca.
"Alhamdulillah, easy - hopefully he soon realized yes dear".
"Amiiinn". replied Destra.
"Where are you now?".
"Your mother and your father are now at Aldo's house" Anggi replied
"Destra's there soon ma".
"Don't baby, you better be there. If you leave him alone, Aldo will not be able to calm down because no one is guarding Caca".
"Alright ma, Destra will take care of him. But Destra asked for help to let mom tell with brother Edo that Destra is in good shape - fine".
"Mommy told him, baby".
"Thank's mami". Destra replied and ended their conversation after saying hello.
***
The atmosphere of the funeral home in Aldo's residence has been crowded by Aldo's neighbors and also his co-workers as well as Edo.
After hearing from Anggi, Edo asked Sandra to postpone all her meetings with the client. Without refutation Sandra contacted the client who was going to have a meeting that day.
The sound of crying again broke when the Ratna family had arrived at Aldo's residence. Mother Siska fell in tears when she saw her daughter who had been lying stiff.
Erni asks Rangga to take Siska's mother into Erni and Aldo's private room.
All the mourners who saw Siska crying until the pinsan made them also shed tears.
Aldo spoke to Rangga to hasten the funeral of Ahmad and Ratna. Rangga immediately agreed to Aldo's opinion to immediately perform the funeral.
Two ambulances walked in to deliver the bodies of Ahmad and Ratna to their final resting place after they and mourners mourned the bodies in a mosque not too far from Aldo's residence.
One by one the mourners left the burial area after the body was buried.
While Siska seemed reluctant to leave the burial area by continuing to cry in the Ratna's place.
"It is better for the mother of Siska to return to our house to rest". Aldo told Rangga to bring Siska back.
"Maybe we will go directly to the hospital to see the state of Caca bro".
"Papa, Deni also wants to see Mbak Caca"., cried Deni who is also in the cemetery area.
"Yes dear". Aldo replied briefly.
Rangga memapah Mommy Siska to leave the cemetery area that has been deserted from the mourners who also delivered the bodies of the last resting.
They're headed to the hospital where Caca is being treated. While Edo returned to his apartment to prepare to attend the wedding of Romi's son one of Nugraha's clients after Alki asked him to continue attending the wedding.
"Sandra, where are you now?". Edo asked after her phone connection was connected to Alki's secretary as she left the eating area to her parked car.
"I'm still in the master's office".Sandra answered who had to finish his job.
"You wait for me at the office, I'll be there soon". Edo exclaimed and pressed the red button on the phone screen without hearing an answer from Sandra.
Edo drives his car to the office to pick up Sandra who is still at the office to attend their client's child's wedding.
Sandra's co-workers left the Nugraha building one by one. While Sandra was still in her room completing her work.
Sandra, who was focused on her work, was unaware of Edo's arrival in her room.
Edo approached Sandra who was sitting in front of her desk and noticed Sandra's work from behind.
"Astaqfirullah" said Sandra, who was surprised to hold her chest after noticing Edo standing next to her.
"Why don't you knock on the door first".
Seeing Sandra who was frightened because of her presence suddenly made Edo increasingly want to judge Sandra.
"Do you want to finish your work until tomorrow?". Edo asked by placing both palms on the side of Sandra's desk so that their visibility was very close.
"What are you doing?". asked Sandra in fear.
Edo further made their distance narrower when they saw Sandra who was getting scared.
With a little courage left, Sandra pushed Edo's body away from her. Seeing the rejection from Sandra made Edo smile and pull Sandra's arm forcefully.
