"Wi.kak Teguh, your husband... has returned to Rahmatullah" said Mala while sobbing.

Duarrr

Alika mengeleng he did not believe the words of his best friend, instead he clapped his hands slowly while staring at the face of Mala sad "not funny know Mal.

"Wi.a-ku seriously brother Teguh had a heart attack earlier in the restaurant..... Wi......"

"you must be lying to Mala.... Dani you don't follow your wife this liein I'm not funny know ..... The mall stopped pu-...."

Alika had not been able to continue his words a hearse stopped in his yard accompanied by several restaurant employees who rode motorcycles

Alika was fixated in place, her eyes could not be seen looking at the hearse

While the restaurant employees were hunching their bodies while passing Alika and Mala are still stuck there, the employees were helped by dani and mbok sum clean the living room and then used as a firm resting place before being buried

"kaaaack......."

Alika screamed hysterically as Teguh's body was stretchered by two men in private hospital uniforms

Mala swiftly hugged Alika's body which had slid to the floor accompanied by a scream of disbelief

When the firm body that had been covered with a brown trench cloth was laid in the living room, Alika was all her might walking closer to the lifeless body with a cry that she could not hold

"sister.... Not funny tau...kak..." pangil Alika with his raucous voice.

"don't wake up like this.me and our son need you "

"sister.... Wake up "cried Alika while shaking the body firmly

*indeed, everyone also knows that soul mate, fortune and death have become the determination.more death will come anytime and anywhere without us being able to avoid, he said, man can only plan the rest of God determines*

Alika was so shocked that she fainted several times

The dark night is now engraved in front of Alika, the young woman who is eight months pregnant continues to hug the body of the Lastri bu who has now accompanied her

His world seemed to collapse in a matter of seconds, the man who had filled his day had returned to his creator

"Wi... eat first yes, said bik sum since afternoon you have not eaten!!" said Miss Lastri while gently rubbing the head of Alika who was still sobbing

"remember there is a firm deposit in your womb now.you will also let her starve because of her sad mother" Alika said softly.

"mom knows you are sad..not only you, mother, Mala and all who know deeply also grieve...you must be strong for the sake of your children yes!!!"

With a little forced finally Alika wanted to eat even though only a few bribes because she also knew the child must be hungry in her womb because since the afternoon no food or drink entered her body

"Aunty...."

The morning came, the morning was bright but like a darkness for Alika

This morning the husband who loved her so much will be taken to her final resting place

The weak body he forced to bring the husband to his final rest, although many forbid but he did not ignore because this was the last time he could let go of the husband

the firm funeral was completed with prayers led by local clerics

Alika screamed hysterically as she roared, her hands trying to scrape the red earth mound that had just covered her husband's body

"kaaaakkkk.." He fainted again.

clear liquid flowed from between Alika's legs

"astaghfirullah is not amniotic fluid." said Miss Lastri, after her hand touched the seepage.

Dani who was standing next to Mala was rushing to approach the body of Alika who had been held by Lastri's bed

Dani tried to lift Alika's body but she felt uneasy

Galang who was not far from there finally approached and immediately held Alika who was pregnant

The feeling is not good.... Since yesterday he had been eager to hug that body that was crying nonstop,

That cry for Galang was a wound for him.

The woman who still has her own place in her heart is now in her arms, even though only limited to helping but feels different in her heart

"don't cry baby.your cry is like a razor that hurts my body" Galang's mind.
