At two o'clock in the night. Fadila's cry sounded loud but all the adults were fast asleep. Fattan, who heard his sister's cries, the little boy blinked and woke up to calm his sister down. Fadila continued to cry pointing at the door of the house. The little boy saw something scary. And sure enough, there was a white shadow standing in front of the door.
"grandmother... Grannies... Grandma" said Fattan, pulling a blanket that covered part of her grandmother's body.
"Fattan, why is your sister crying, son?" asked Aziz out of the room. While Aunt Eka never woke up from her sleep. Same with Mom.
"Papa, you know" said Fattan, pointing at the door.
Degh!! Aziz, who also included a cowardly man, almost ran into the room. But he also could not leave his daughter and son.
"Fadila, come here baby" Aziz took her daughter's hand. Then carrying Fadila and Fattan together.
"Now Fattan is sleeping next to Mama, Fadila is next to Papa" Aziz said, dropping her two children off in bed.
Fattan lay facing her mother and Fadila lay facing her father. Fattan and Fadila sleep on their backs. "Good sleep Papa's son" Aziz said stroking Fattan's head and then moved to hug Fadila.

At five in the morning, Aunt Eka cried after reading a message from her brother-in-law, Zulfikar, Aunt Eqi's husband. Aunt Eqi fell ill the day before she was pronounced dead by doctors.
"Eqi.as soon as God calls you, Qi... Now I have no more brothers" said Aunt Eka between her tears.
Ma'am Ima, Pa Sofyan and Fakri wake up when they hear the sound of Aunt Eka crying. Not only the three of them, Aher and Mahdania also woke up from their sleep and came out of the room. They approached Aunt Eka and sat cross-legged staring at the grieving middle-aged woman.
"Tante Eka why?" ask Aher slowly.
Aunt Eka's crying is becoming more and more. Aziz and Amrita, who had just finished their morning prayers, approached the family who were now in the family room. "Mother why?" ask Amrita.
"Aunt Eqi, Son. Aunt Eqi died last night" Aunt Eka replied in a hiccup.
Degh!! Everyone in the family room immediately uttered the sentence simultaneously.
إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّآ إِلَيْهِ رَٰجِعُونَ
"Inna lillahi wa innaillahi rajiun"
Pa Sofyan approached his wife and hugged her. Give peace to the wife. "Mother is still Papa, there is Aziz, Fakri, Amrita, and our two grandchildren. Even I still have Aher, Mahdania and Mbak Ima. The three of them also consider us as family. If we are not family, then we will not sleep in the same house" Sofyan said, stroking his wife's head.
"What Om Sofyan said. We are a Auntie's family. Aunt still has us. A strong aunt, who is patient and sincere" Aher's timps strengthen Aunt Eka.
"May Allah accept all good deeds Aunt Eqi. And may he die in the state of husnul Khatimah. Aamiin" continued Mahdania praying.
"Fakri, get Mom and Papa tickets today. If anyone leaves this morning then buy the morning one" said Mr. Sofyan.
"Papa... Mama.." call Fadila who just opened her eyes.
Amrita and Aziz, both of whom ran into the room and approached their son. Then go out and join the others.
"You guys want to know. Last night at two o'clock, Fadila cried to see a shadow on the doorstep. Fattan woke Mom but she didn't wake up. Thank God I heard Fadila's cry so I went out. I was scared when I looked in the direction Fattan pointed. Where Fattan calls the devil again" Aziz said.
"just fine. At four in the morning Mbak woke up did not see Fattan and Fadila" said Mbak Ima.
"Papa, there's a flight at 07:25 in the morning. Lion Air plane. Another plane was there but it was noon. There is also a morning but transit" explained Fakri while looking at the flight schedule in the Traveloka application using his papa phone.

Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport
Aunty Eka and her family are now at Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport. The only ones leaving for Jakarta are Auntie Eka and Pak Sofyan. The others are just delivering. Mr. Sofyan went inside the airport to check in, then came out in the arrival room and sat down with his family.
"Consumption, passengers of Lion Air flight with flight number JT-871 to Jakarta are welcome to board the aircraft through door five. Thank you"
"We went in first" said Pa Sofyan, smiling at his family.
"Fakri, Miss Ima, don't sleep anywhere else. You have to stay with Aziz as long as we have not returned" Mr. Sofyan reminded. How not, a few years ago when Pak Sofyan and Aunt Eka to Jakarta, Fakri spent the night in beskem while Mbak Ima slept in the neighborhood.
"Yes, Pa" replied Fakri and Mbak Ima simultaneously.
"Bye bye Grandpa's grandson" said Pa Sofyan, kissing Fattan and Fadila.
Mr. Sofyan led his wife into the airport and then went up to the second floor to the fifth door. Aunt Eka kept silent, her eyes looking sebam. While in the arrival hall, Aziz and the others got into the car. On the way home, Fattan and Fadila continued to laugh with Fakri.
Aziz pulled over his car in front of the campus, where his wife and sister were attending college. "Fattan, Fadila, Mama and Om want to learn first yes" Amrita told her two children.
"Hiks, hisk, hicks..." Fadila cried asking to come with Mama and Omnya.
"Mas, how's this?" amrita asked to see her daughter crying. Her motherly soul, made her unable to see her son cry.
"Yes already. Ma'am Ima, ma'am is just like them. Ma'am looks after Fattan and Fadila during Amrita's on-campus management. Fakri, please help Amrita as long as it can be represented" Aziz told Mbak Ima and Fakri.
"Yes, Brother" Fakri replied.
"Yes, Nak Aziz" replied Ms. Ima.
Fakri and Amrita got back in the car. Aziz was looking for an ojek to go to the hospital. "Be careful, Mas" said Amrita smiling.
After Aziz got the ojek, then Fakri turned on the car engine and began driving his brother's car to the campus parking lot. In the parking lot, Fattan and Fadila were so happy to see a lot of people sitting in front of the class, parking lots, and even some passing by and fro.
"Amrita, is that your son?" tanya Bu Fauziah, one of the Lecturers at the Faculty of Mipa.
"Iye, Mom" Amrita smiled back.
"Subhanallah. Handsome and beautiful son, dear" praised Bu Fauziah. "Twin huh?" tanyakanya.
"Iye, Mom" Amrita replied again.
"Grandmother" call Fadila to grab Bu Fauziah's hand.
"Yes, Honey. You are so beautiful. Gemes deh" replied Bu Fauziah pinching soft cheek cabby Fadila.
"Oh yes Amrita. If you are busy, then bring your child to your room. Mumpung today I teach at one o'clock in the afternoon so I can take care of them both" Bu Fauziah smiled.
"Good, Mom. Thank you Ma'am" Amrita smiled.
