RESIDUAL WAGES

Lisa's Death

That night I couldn't sleep and was agitated at the thought of my three children's wishes. Time and time again I want to keep my eyes still can't. I finally decided to teach my mind to be calm.

After the lesson, Uncle sat down beside me.

"Why haven't you slept, son?" Said Uncle worried.

"Come, Uncle. Via's eyes can't be closed yet." My answer.

"Son, you look very agitated. If you have a problem tell Uncle now." Uncle.

"Uncle, the three uncles' grandchildren wanted Judis as their father. But Via is not ready to marry again. Moreover, Judis has no faith in us." My words pour out my anxiety.

"It's natural, son, if the grandchildren want a father figure. Moreover, Judis had been very affectionate with them. And his affection is sincere. Children like them felt it all the way to the bottom of their hearts. If only Judis had faith in us, Uncle agreed." Obviously Uncle.

Honestly, I have absolutely no feelings for any man. Including the Judis.

While chatting with Uncle, suddenly the phone entered my phone with an unknown number. I was a bit hesitant to pick it up because it was late at night.

Before picking up the phone first I asked for Uncle's approval. Uncle nodded and agreed if I picked up the phone that was ringing earlier.

"Hallo Assalamualaikum" said a man from there.

"Waalaikumussalam" I answered a little nervously.

"Are you really Lisa's sister's family?" Ask caller.

"It's right sir." My answer is starting to worry.

""I'm sorry if I interrupted your break. Your sister Lisa is currently being critical due to an accident. And your phone number I found in Lisa's pants pocket. Lisa has no identity. And that name I see from the name of the necklace that's on Lisa's sister's neck." Clearly that father.

My feet were shaking at this bad news. I hope Lisa is saved. After asking the address of the hospital where Lisa was treated I immediately rushed there.

"Uncle, Via must leave now. Please take the kids." I said goodbye to uncle.

I had to wake up this midnight neighbor who had a car to charter. Even if paying more is no problem for me. Most importantly, I'll be in the hospital soon. Luckily, Lisa took my phone number.

Apparently Lisa did not dare to go back to Mataram, possibly out of fear. And now Lisa is in the county hospital.

After a distance of almost 3 hours. I finally arrived at the county town and headed straight for the hospital.

How full my heart was when I saw Lisa was filled with medical devices in her body. I tried to contact Surya. But the phone number stored at that time was no longer active.

And the only way is I have to ask Judis for help.

Luckily, my call was picked up by Judis.

"What's? Alright Via. You take it easy, I know the address because I stopped by Surya's house at the time." Yudis.

I was a little relieved that Judis had helped me.

I went into the ICU to see Lisa. Aunty's shadow recalled the moment I set foot into this space between life and death.

Lisa's face is almost unknown due to injuries and bruises swelling all over her waves.

Hopefully the Surya family will come this morning on a plane to arrive soon.

It's 12 noon, but Surya's family has no news yet. I called Judis again but Judis's cell phone was out of reach. Too bad Lisa, if I wasn't here maybe no one would come to see her.

My phone rang and immediately I picked it up.

"Hello Via, how are you and Liaa now." Ask Judis worried.

"Lisa is critical of Yudi, what about the Surya family. Are they coming? My toot.

"They were on the way Via, they set out by sea. Because the condition of Surya's mother is not good. And apologize Via I can't come because I can't leave mom." Yudis.

"Merry Mery why Judis?" Asking me worried.

"Mother's health is disturbed Via, but not to worry. He's fine." Yudis.

After 5pm, the Surya family arrived at the hospital. My mother-in-law looks very skinny and miserable. The mother-in-law cried out when she saw Lisa's critical condition.

"Thank you Riana for your help. If there's no you, we don't know what happens next with Lisa." Fatir said sadly.

My ex-husband's family came recently. Lisa breathed her last breath.

"Lisaaaa!" Scream Mother-in-law.

As if she did not want Lisa to leave so quickly, Mother-in-law seemed possessed and pulled Lisa's body which was still filled with medical devices.

"Please come out for a minute." Nurse.

After the medical devices in Lisa's body one by one lifted then we were allowed to enter again.

The mother-in-law collapsed because she could not help but endure the grief. While mas Surya cried roaring to see the condition of his sister's body that had been stretched stiff.

Lisa's body was taken by ambulance to Mataram province. Because of my empathy, I also went to Mataram along with the hearse.

Tragic is Lisa's death. In an accident and two months pregnant. Police are still investigating the accident case about Lisa. According to the father who called me at that time Lisa was hit and run by a corn truck user. And until now the police do not know for sure the driver of the culprit.
