The Love of the Widow

Chapter 26. Bad News

My happiness didn't last long.

Still vividly remembered in the fourth year of my and Randy's marriage.

exactly one week after we celebrated.

It was the afternoon.

I was feeding the cut fruit to Ainara while sitting on the front porch.

HPku rings.

I saw Randy's HP number there.

I immediately lifted her up.

I thought it was Randy's call to miss me and Ainara after two days of duty out of town.

"Assalamualaikum darling.! where already? so come home today, right?" I said over the phone.

"Waalaikumsalam Bukhari! " i heard the voice of a man but it wasn't my husband who answered the greetings.

"Sorry Buk, I'm Mr. Randy's office friend. I want to tell you that you had an accident and are now on your way to Pekanbaru Hospital!" from across the phone.

I was so shocked to hear that.

"Astagfirullah... !!" tehidam.

I try to calm myself down.

I immediately called Bang Umar asking him to go to the hospital immediately and tell the other family about the accident that my husband had experienced.

I rushed to change my clothes and carried Ainara in the car.

Along the way I took the privilege of calming me down.

I try my best to stay focused on driving.

I went straight to the ICU room (intensive care unit) according to the direction of Randy's office friend who told me earlier.

I saw from a distance Bang Umar, Brother Mila and my two In-laws were already there.

Mila ran to hug me.

I'm a sculptor.

"Randy is not Dik! " Said Sister Mila slowly but it sounded very clear in my ears.

"Innalillahi wainna ilaihi rojiun." I said almost without a sound.

My body instantly shook.

I felt my feet not resting on the earth.

Ainara yag is still in my arms almost fell.

And when I clearly realized what Sister Mila said, I screamed to call my husband's name.

"Randy....!!!?????!!!!????!! " call.

I saw Mama and my Father-in-law clapping and crying.

My mother hugged me when I approached.

I'm speechless.

I went into the room.

I saw Randy lying stiff.

I touched his handsome face.

Her body is so cold.

I kissed him many times.

"Darling.get up!!" I said slowly to her.

He didn't answer.

I feel my body drifting.

last I remembered Aunt Rahmi coming to hug me and taking the crying Ainara in my arms.

"Sir. papa..!! " he said from his tiny lips.

I fainted.

***

I delivered my husband to his final resting place with an unstoppable cry.

It was still clear in my ear his last words when he was about to leave town two days ago.

"You're both fine.. Papa dear Ainara!" she kissed Ainara repeatedly.

"I love you baby.. forever!! " he said to me and kissed almost all over my face.

I really didn't think it was his last kiss.

There will never again be a loving night out of her.

There would never again be a joking laugh from her to Ainara.

"Too fast, O ALLAH... Ainara and I still need her.. Can I not wake up from this dream?? I am not strong, LORD!! " i said inwardly as I hugged Ainara tightly.

Ainara let go of my embrace.

In her face my face was fixed.

"Mama..crying?? " he said with his tiny voice.

I just nodded in agreement.

Slowly in her lift Her little finger.

There are tears flowing down my cheeks.

Kuraih and I kissed his hand.

I held him back in my arms.

"Mama don't cry! Nara loves mama! " Say her little lips.

"Mama also dear Nara nakkk. "my answer kissed her forehead many times.

We go back to hugging each other.

Mom came to hug me.

"Ainara needs you, son. You're all he has now. You have to be strong!" my mother said hugging me.

Mom led me to walk to the car.

Dad's carrying my son Ainara.

We walked together with Mama-in-law who was in the care of Madam Mila.

We're all still in a state of shock not believing what happened.

My body feels so weak.

I can't imagine how hard the next days would be without my husband.

"I Still have Ainara. I must be Strong!! " my words in my heart.

I came back crying.
