Salto World Wine

Chapter 13: Bad News

Unlike usual, Wine woke up because of the sound of alarm from his mobile phone vibrating. Usually Arka will wake him up for the morning prayers before the man leaves for the mosque, but it seems like this morning there is something different.

Mas Arka did not go home all night?.Suspect Wine plus no folding mattress lying on the floor.

Getting down from the bed slowly so as not to wake his two sons who were still sound asleep, Wine came out of the room and went to the main room.

Arka wasn't there.

Walking into the study Arka wished her husband was there, but Wine only found a dark room as if no one had visited the room last night at all.

"Ke Masjid kali ya" said Wine himself.

During her marriage to Arka, her husband never returned home at all except for out-of-town service. Even if he came home late at night, Wine would find Arka lying next to him.

After going down the stairs, Wine glanced briefly at the clock in the living room. 05.00, the dawn sermon is still heard in the mosque. Arka may still be in the mosque.

Walking towards the kitchen, Wine met with Mbak Laksmi who was preparing breakfast. "Mother came home last night, didn't you?"

The one asked nodded saying, "Bone mom, I just don't know what time to go home. I met you when I went to the mosque"

Hearing that Wine heaved his breath in relief. At least if Arka goes home, then nothing serious happens in the squadron now.

"I saw you wearing your uniform. The power runs out of the musholah immediately departs ma'am" continued Laksmi.

"Would you wear a uniform?" wine asked to make sure he didn't hear wrong.

"Yes mom, I'm wearing a uniform. Mom was told to call dad later"

Wine nodded "Okay, ma'am. Yes, I want to pray first nelfon pak"

"Good ma'am"

Wine went back up to the 2nd floor, feeling bad and worried about haunting him now, not usually Arka left without permission first. Is it so bad that you can't wait for Wine to wake up?.

After finishing the prayer, Wine immediately took his phone which was on the nightstand. Mas Arka's name was the one he immediately sought and contacted.

First ring.

Ringing to two.

Ring to three.

Until the fifth ring Arka has not yet lifted it. The dawn sermon was finished and replaced by the voice of njai, Arka should have come out of the musholah.

After the operator's voice was heard, Wine turned off the connection and then called her husband again.

"Mas lift dong. Don't worry me" Wine grumbled.

Wine corrected Arsya's blanket position, then sat on the bedside. His phone was still stuck in his ear waiting for a response from there.

As soon as the phone was connected, it was Ark's coughing voice that Wine heard the first time. Her husband's cough now sounds much more frequent than last night, Arka's pain seems to be getting worse.

"Check, uhuk. Assalamualaikum deck"

"Wassalamu'alaikum's chat. Where's mas?" ask Wine pretending he doesn't know. Caring for a sick Arka with sick twins, it was much easier to care for sick twins. The reason is at least the twins will obey to rest at home, but if Arka is difficult to ask for forgiveness.

"It's up the deck squadron"

"Squadron? clock this way?" If Wiene really had the knowledge, Wine would have disappeared into the squadorn to force her husband to go home and rest.

Again the sound of Arka's cough was heard. Wine who heard him closed his eyes for a while to dispel emotions.if this can not be angry, even become pity.

"Have you taken your medicine?" ask Wine in a slow tone.

"Uhuk Uhuk. heheh mas think you're going to upset the deck"

"Penginnya. Just pity the horror you're coughing"

Arka's laughter was heard from the phone again.

"So before leaving already take the drug mas?" Ask Wine again.

"It's deck"

"Can't you permit? sick permission"

"Can't deck. Someone wants to talk to you. His intention was to talk before leaving, but I'm sorry if I wake you up"

"If it is better. I can see you leaving"

"Okay, sorry"

Despite knowing that Arka couldn't see him because they were on a regular phone, Wine nodded in response.

"Yesterday afternoon there was an F-16 plane coming to Halim deck. Just stopped by for a while, and the night flew again to Iswahyudi. Job's got the plane"

If hearing such a series of sentences, Wine's heart beat faster as if it knew if there was a sad story afterwards. If the position of Arka carrying the plane, Wine usually has been sitting limp. Waiting for news from her husband who gave the info has arrived safely at the destination is more thrilling than the police.

Wine closed his eyes for a moment. His body trembled as if it had just been stung by low voltage electricity.

"Dad?"

"How is kapt. Job mas?"

There was the sound of breathing in the sebrang followed by the sound of Arka coughing.

"Still in search"

"Oh God."

"Mas wants to ask for help, before leaving for the hospital stop by the kapt house. Job on deck. Ayu doesn't know this news yet"

Imagining if he was in the position of Ayu made Wine's tears escape instantly. Want as loud as a TNI wife, Wine will also not be able to hear if the plane driven by the husband crashed. It felt like there was lightning striking up to make the world seem to rotate instantly.

"Dad?"

Wine wiped his own tears "Later I stop by Ayu ya mas's house"

"OKAY. I want permission from you. I'm going to Iswahyudi to help find Job"

Wine took in his deep breath and took it out slowly. Want anyway there are things that Arka must do even in a sick condition even though "Indeed if Wine does not ngizinin mas will be reduced?"

Arka was silent for a long time before she finally heard "Dek" again"

"No need to ask permission from me. I'm definitely a permit, as long as you go back to me and the kids are in good health"

"Sorry deck."

An apology that was very difficult for Wine to grant "What time did you fly?"

"A little while more"

"Tell me when you get there"

"Sorry deck, it seems like it can not deck, because the mas directly to the point of the plane Job crashed, it is likely there will be no signal"

"Tomorrow if that's it"

"We're gonna wake up in the woods, sorry. Mas promise will try to send a text message to you, so that if there is a signal can be sent directly"

Wine wiped away her tears. It feels so heavy to take off Arka this time. If only her husband was healthy, maybe Wine wouldn't feel this heavy. "Don't forget to take your medicine"

"Yes.co.uk close first yes. It's flying, Assalamualaikum"

"Be careful, Waalaikumsalam"

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

Knocking on the door of Ayu's house just to bring bad news was not an ordinary thing. How does he convey it? Seeing him come this early alone must have made a big question mark for Ayu.

"Eh Mother Arka, Morning ma'am, Permission"

Wine smiled as soon as Ayu opened the door with a friendly smile as usual.

"Come on, please sit down"

Wine nodded, sitting on one of the living room couches while waiting for Ayu who went straight into the house to get drinking water for Wine.

Wine squeezed his hands nervously. His mouth felt stiff with cold hands, the same feeling as when Wine came out of the operating room with an unsuccessful operating status.

"Izin ma'am, please have a drink. If you can tell what's going on, ma'am?"

Not immediately replied, Wine took a glass filled with drinking water and gulped it down a little "Kapt. Job flew last night to Iswahyudi huh mbak?" tanya Wine started the conversation.

"Yes mom. This just now I also tried the phone for nanya has arrived or not, uh not lifted the same mas Ayub bu"

Wine squeezed his own hands. It was her responsibility to tell Ayu this "Don't be surprised. Listen to me carefully"

Wine could see the change in Ayu's countenance now. "The F-16 fighter plane crashed"

"Yes?"

"Aircraft with kapt. Job fell last night in the forest area mbak" continued Wine.

Not only does the Wine world feel spinning when hearing this news, Ayu's world must also now feel spinning coupled with a very powerful tornado. The woman gripped the edge of the chair tightly.

"Mom kidding, right, ma'am?" ayu asked with tears that had started to come down without excuse.

"I heard this news from Arka mas this morning mbak. He and the others are on a kapt quest. Job"

"Not funny mom, you're kidding me, right?! Not likely. NO WAY!!"
