Petunia Amarily
24. Dying in peace.
That lifeless cold body, no longer feeling any pain. The mortuary he now left to return to his paradise with his wife, became a witness to how bitter the crying of the wife.
Oh, not a cry exactly, but a room, until a little, the Petunia flower fainted, because it was too deep in the chest pain that he felt.
"Why did everyone dump me? why is everyone no longer my partner? Why do the people I love, always leave and end up leaving me? Why should I be destined this way? Why does no one love me? Why can't anyone love me after God? Is that how I am?" petunia's hapless screams, breaking the silence of the night that dominated the hospital's silence, where Farel was run.
There's no happiness. There's no joy. There's no laughing joke. No more warmth that Nia will definitely get. There is no sincerity that can accept Nia and her child as they are.
Never tell me what patience is? In fact, Nia no longer has patience. His heart was afflicted with sorrow, his soul bore limitless destitution, his body was ravaged by endless solace.
Petunia swore that nothing could replace Farel's kindness in his heart, nor in his life. The warmth that the man gave, even able to beat the warmth of the sun.
A moment after Nia roared and screamed with all her might, the woman fainted again for how many times.
Both Wanda and Benni were both wounded, equally battered. However, Farel was not only the backbone for his mother and sister, but Farel was Wanda's only light and hope.
"Nia, my God. Be aware, honey," Wanda felt her body go limp. But he could not let his beautiful daughter-in-law lie down.
"Gosh, Mom. There was blood on Nia's leg, "Benny shouted, making some doctors come, approached to give help swiftly.
Nia fainted, because of the weight of the burden and pain she felt, she could not bear alone. For a moment Petunia woke up again, staring at Wanda with a clear wound.
"Don't separate me and Mas Farel, ma'am," Petunia said later, before the woman was again submerged in unconsciousness

The birth of a baby boy should be a joy for a young mother. The birth from the beginning is so anticipated, in fact as if it does not give any effect, for a young mother who just last night, lost her baby.
At about three o'clock in the morning, baby Nia was born, advancing two weeks before the estimated day of birth. The woman really did not know, what to do at this time. The shock that led to the birth of her faster baby, as well as her body fatigue, left her bedridden this morning in the hospital.
The crying broke out incessantly, presenting a painful scene that could tear the hearts of all who watched. Let alone Wanda and Benni, even Doctors, Sisters and some Police people, also feel sad
Just imagine, the husband died, and the wife gave birth, even before the body of the husband buried in the ground.
Is the Petunia family present? Even this morning, neither Mother nor Kia came. Maybe they haven't heard from Farel's departure for good. It's just that, in Nia's heart as if she wanted to, hopefully no people from Nia's past came, even though it was just offering condolences.
"I want to go home, Mom. I want to take Mas Farel to his final resting place. Please, give me permission to come with Mom and Benni, "said Petunia's voice.
"Yes. You must come, "wanda replied.
In Wanda's little heart, there was not the slightest bit of hatred towards Petunia. There was not the slightest intention in Wanda's heart, to leave Nia.
Wanda just did not know, there was a barbaric intervention, for the death of Farel Prahasta.
"At ten o'clock in the morning the last salute to your husband will be performed soon. Rest and do not move much" Wanda ordered, crying again, "wait here. I'm going to Benni first. He was in the room where Farel was" Wanda later said.
"I have to get to the funeral, ma'am. I'm healthy now, and I can walk on my own. I'm going to Mas Farel only," said Nia forced, although she still felt weak.
"But, son," Wanda tried to prevent. But Nia remained stubborn, forcibly opening the infusion needle until her blood flowed. Really, Wanda was so aware, how devastated Nia was because of the loss of her husband.
Why did you torture your wife and mother like this, Rel? God, give me a miracle, give me back my son's life.
Wanda is full of wounds.

The morning barely reached noon, when the coffin where Farel lay peacefully, arrived home. Some relatives of the late father of Farel, as well as relatives of Wanda, came to visit for condolences.
The mood of grief is certainly so thick felt. The photo of Farel wearing a suit not too long ago, was displayed gracefully. The crying never stopped, from Wanda as the mother who lost . Don't ask how Nia. The woman was as hurt as Wanda.
Nia was not aware, that her family had come to just join in expressing her condolences. Abhimanyu came with a flat face, much different from the faces of Adam, Kia and Kirana who were so anxious.
No one knew that this morning, Adam had come to the hospital to see his newborn son. The son whose face is so similar to his.
Everything's getting messed up. Adam could do nothing. His trap, perhaps Farel's woe, had Abhimanyu's hand to blame.
"Nia, the coffin will be closed soon. Come on, let's step aside first," Wanda approached Nia, trying to persuade her daughter-in-law, "have your husband. He was calm to meet God. Pray for him, the best for him. I'm sure he's in heaven."
"Do heaven and hell exist, Mom? Does God exist too? if so, then why did God give me this fate? So to those who have hurt me and Farel, why can they still laugh at my creak?" Nia whispered softly, as if her voice had almost disappeared in the wind, yet, the approaching Nia family, could hear clearly.
Losing Farel, managed to make him forget, that there was a new baby he gave birth to, who needed his attention.
"Sometimes I ask, what about them, what about the feeling of my family that so spoiled Farel first, after seeing the peaceful face again handsome Farel. Look, Mum. He seemed to be smiling at me. My family's humiliation was like it wasn't a storm for him. He accepted me sincerely, unfortunately he had to be a victim. I am the one who should be punished alone for my sins" Nia cried bitterly again, lamenting her wounds before Farel's lifeless body.
"Petunia Amarilys, let's go back home. Your place is not here!" Abhimanyu said firmly, and accompanied by a flat face without feeling.
As soon as Nia turned her head, Nia's blood seemed to boil instantly. Abhimanyu was no longer a father to him, but his devil-like enemy from the bottom of hell.
