Rahayu keeps waking up Hanum, but never wakes up. The sound of his screams made the midwife return to meet her patients who had just given birth.
"What's up, Mom?" ask the midwife.
"Hanum, Hanum is not awake. Please check" he told the midwife. And the midwife immediately checked, her pulse stopped. His breathing was no longer felt when the midwife's hand was placed close to Hanum's nostril.
The midwife shook her head, she could no longer help him because this was already the will of Almighty God. "Sorry, Mom. Hanum died" said the midwife softly.
Rahayu immediately cried hysterically, she already considered Hanum as her son. He had been through a lot with Hanum, complaining Hanum spilled on him. Rahayu hugged the body, after glancing at the beautiful baby. What a shame the fate of the baby.
"Well, Hanum, Yeah ..." Rahayu hugged her husband while crying.
"Patience, this is destiny. Hanum will be happy by his side." Halim gently rubbed his wife's back, "we'd better prepare a funeral, Dad will have our neighbor Tohir who used to dig a grave." Halim let go of his hug and immediately picked up his flat object to contact Mr. Tohir.
After that, he prepared to bring Hanum home to be bathed and buried. The cost of labor has been taken care of, just waiting for an ambulance to come to bring Hanum's body. Rahayu grabbed a small sleeping body, the baby was very sound from her sleep.
Shortly after, the baby was crying. Rahayu also cried because she could not bear, the tiny baby was abandoned by her mother for eternity. The ambulance came directly carrying Hanum's body which was already stretched stiff. Upon arrival at the house, the neighbors who kepo immediately crowded in the house of Halim. There are also some who are sad.
The words of the residents are different when heard by Halim and Rahayu. Even his neighbor had died so hearty as if happy to see Hanum died. Gossip about Hanum as a despicable woman continues to circulate.
Rahayu and Halim did not reveal the words of the citizens who always vilified Hanum. There was no time to serve the mouth of their bucket. When Hanum's body has been bathed, and shodded, shortly from there immediately taken to the TPU which is located not far from Halim's house.
Rahayu continued to cry while holding the tiny baby. Nisa and Panji are devastated by the passing of Hanum, whom they consider her brother. The sad news was heard by Andra, but unfortunately he could not go there to deliver Hanum's body to his final rest. He had to accompany his wife who was undergoing surgery.
Andra just told Roy to come as his representative. And Adam could not come because as long as his wife was pregnant he never again went out of town he had to be on standby in anticipation of unwanted events.
The funeral is over, the rest of the Halim family is left. Here, the one who lost more is Rahayu. He was devastated, even the last words of Hanum were always ringing in his memory. That, after giving birth later he will not bother him. Maybe this is what Hanum said. It won't be troublesome because he'll be gone forever.
"Mom," Nisa called, "we go home yuk?" bring later.
"Yes, Mom. The sky is dark, pity the baby," said Panji.
Rahayu wiped the water coming out of her nose, if she did not remember the baby Hanum, she was reluctant to leave Hanum alone in the dark, narrow hole.
"Curl, Ma." Halim grabbed Hanum's crouching body while holding Hanum's baby. Rahayu moved, she kept glancing at Hanum's grave as her steps began to move away. Look and keep looking until he starts away from the funeral.
It rained, lucky they got home. Rahayu did not release the baby for a second. Until Nisa wants to carry him does not give it.
"Mom, I must be sore. Let me replace ya, ma'am?" nisa Pinta. The girl who started ABG was certainly able to hold the tiny baby.
"No, let me just," Rahayu refused.
"But I haven't eaten yet" Nisa said again.
"Then, Mom rest. Poor baby, Mom. Maybe he's also sore from being carried on." Nisa continues to persuade her mother to release the baby in bed.
Rahayu went to her room and began to lay down the tiny body with her. Rahayu sleeps hugging baby Hanum. Until finally he fell out of his sleep.
While Halim, he immediately prepared the study for Hanum's departure. The residents who still care to help him, the afternoon is getting late and must hold a routine recitation for the next seven days.
And the tahlilan event began to be done, Roy also participated in the study. Until the end of his studies, Roy just let him go home. He could not leave his family at home.
"Mom, sir, I'm saying goodbye." Roy said as he kissed the back of his boss's two-in-law's hands.
"Yes, be careful on the road" Halim said. Roy nodded, then left.

Rahayu was replacing Hanum's baby diaper, she was in the woman's room. Long time there until he saw the black box and it became the center of his attention. Rahayu took the black box and opened it.
There are many papers there, there are many writings that can be said it is a letter. A letter that Hanum willfully wrote to his son. There's a picture of Doni there, it looks like it's a message for his son.
Hanum wrote all the life stories in the diary he wrote. Rahayu read it until she cried, then glanced at the baby. Rahayu once again shed her tears. He continued reading the diary, until there was a name there. Hanum wrote it all as if he knew what would happen to his life.
Goddess, the name is written. Rahayu thought to herself, what might this be a name for her? Hanum stood up and approached the baby. The baby woke up, seemingly thirsty. He also carried the baby and did not forget to tidy up the black box.
He will give it to the baby later when he grows up. The room was left empty, Rahayu locked the door tightly. No one can go in there but Hanum's son when he grows up.
"Mom, let me hold him, '" pinta Halim.
Rahayu gave the baby to her husband.
"Mom's got a name for her?" ask Halim.
"Here you go" replied Rahayu.
"What's his name, Mom?" Halim curious
"Goddess." Answer his wife while making formula milk.
"Goddess? Good name, I've prepared that name all day long huh same Hanum?" guess Halim.
"No, it was Hanum himself who gave the name to his son." Again Rahayu could not hold back her tears, "preferably do not have to discuss it," said Rahayu again.
Even Halim who understands does not question him anymore. Discussing Hanum was indeed like a re-sliced wound.
