Chapter 46
"Let's hope there's a miracle." I interrupted the conversation and approached the lethargic with pias faces.
Amar calms his father. So did the other two people they apparently were Adie's uncles named Junaedi and Albion.
"Let's eat first, then we continue to chat to find a solution." I patted their shoulders one by one, after leaving to arrange catering orders on the dining table.
"I'm sorry, it's been troubling you, son of Earth." Adie's father cursed while walking towards the dining room.
"Ah, don't be so Abah, just think of this house as a replacement for Adie's residence in Jakarta."
Adie's father let out a long sigh for a moment they fell silent enjoying the dish. Obviously they are hungry, this is the first time they set foot in Jakarta. I also joined them.
After we finished, we sat down and talked about Adie's body. After talking, we decided to rest because it was already night.
After deliberating, tomorrow's decision just starts the plan. Adie's father looks impatient. But in the end he complied. How else, Caroline did not respond. It looks like it will be a dead end, full of challenges.
**********
The next day, after all preparing we left for the Hospital. In the hope that Adie's body is still in the morgue, it feels like this chest is rumbling, from the look on the face of the Adie family implies the same taste. After asking the Hospital staff, and informing them that they were Adie's family, by offering authentic evidence, some health workers were happy to drive us closer to the morgue. We found the bright spot of Adie's body still sitting in the freezer. A mortuary attendant opened one of the doors of the giant closet
Sure enough, my best friend was already tight-lipped, stiff with the body already starting to turn blue. Adie's father is not strong to bear the burden, in fact, the man drooped in the arms of Amar. Some time later he was taken out.
According to information provided by health officials. Adie's body will be bathed today, and head straight to the Buddhist funeral home. That was also revealed by the coroner earlier.
We decided to wait for Caroline to arrive. Because Adie's family has no right to make any decisions.
Adie's father started to kiss. Adie's family didn't want to leave the area after I offered to rest and get coffee until the hour Caroline was scheduled to arrive.
"If Nak Earth, want to get some fresh air, please." One of Adie's uncles said.
Since then I have been sleepy so much that several times unconsciously yawned. "Alright, Amar, I'm staying out for a while. If there's any phone call."
"Good, Bang." Amar sat down on the floor with the three of them. I immediately went out to a canteen located in the area of the Hospital.
After arriving directly ordering a cup of bitter coffee to repel drowsiness, this fingers play the mobile phone screen. I rack my brain how do I get into Adie's house? How can I know if a will is alive or not? Ah, this head feels heavy.
While playing the coffee spoon I suddenly remembered the investigating officer who knew me. We exchanged contact numbers.
I called you."Hello, with Mr Bumi?" Her tanning voice when it recognized my voice from the end of the phone.
"Oh, yes, Commander." I politely replied with respect.
"Is there anything we can help you with? Or is there information for us?"
For a moment this tongue was confused, I was confused to express the contents of the heart. "Look, Commander. I just wanted to ask, is my best friend's body going to be cremated?"
"Look, Commander. It's his brother and Adie's parents coming. They object when it is done. Please enlighten her." I ventured to speak this ridiculous heart.
After speaking, the investigating officer said it could have been cancelled if the two sides had deliberated. Or if there is a will of the deceased. That's an explanation from the investigator. There is really no solution. Even the investigative file, it has stated death was purely a result of suicide. Though I feel awkward, there is no way Adie would do that. Doesn't he want to repent? Should he know by making such a decision that there is no door of forgiveness from him?
'Ah, hopefully during the seconds of the release of the breath from Adie's body he can still recite the intention of returning to the initial faith.' I speak for myself in my heart.
After looking at the last drop of coffee, I immediately got up and returned to the spot of observation. It looks like Caroline will be here soon. I don't want anything to happen to Adie's family. Remembering that the two uncles with reddened faces had started to get emotional when I repeatedly tried to contact Caroline.
*************
From a distance I saw some officers in brown uniforms. It seems like a fight, I ran as fast as I could. Ah, sure enough, Caroline has arrived and has a fight.
Apparently the body will be bathed, while Caroline does not allow Adie's parents to do obligations to her child.
Adie's father just wanted to purify my best friend's stiff body for the last time using ablution water. Caroline refused hard.
"I just want to give my son the right." There was a resounding voice Adie's father stared into Caroline's bluish eyeballs.
I was furious that Caroline should have paid respect to her husband's parents who she never met.
"But I don't allow that. I'm sorry you understand." Caroline answered by streaming a glance.
"Neng, you can't act like a son-in-law." An uncle Adie interrupted the conversation.
"Women have no heart and no manners." Amar snarled the conversation.
Meanwhile. The officer who was going to bathe the body was silent waiting for a decision.
I approached Amar and grabbed his shoulder. "That's ...." The tongue is no longer able to speak.
After subsiding, officers immediately bathed the body. Adie's body began to gush water from the hose. Adie's father who since his arrival looks hit, it is inversely proportional. He is rigid when allowed to touch the stiff body of the breadwinner. And so did Amar, they were strong. But not with this self, it sobbed until the officer asked me to leave the review room.
It feels painful to see the condition of my best friend's body. It was like giving her a bogem so she would wake up and explain to me everything! I squat with both hands cupped in my face. While Caroline did not show a family face at all, even like a stranger. However, she looks much more robust, with a white top and a black plisket skirt along the knee. He came accompanied by several men and women, probably going to give a last prayer on Adie look of the clothes worn.
"Flame, Earth." The sound of Amar from the front door. I stood up and went back in, even though it was not strong. For the best of friends I have to watch!
A nun in a soft voice gave a chastisement to Caroline. Sure enough the woman began to soften and allow Adie's father to purify his son's body for the last time.
"Yes, all the goals are good." That is what is said from the lips of the nun. His speech was very shady and reconciling, plus the softness of his voice touched the wall of the heart.
The blue scene, me, Amar and two uncles Adie tergugu hugged a stiff body on the ceramic, alternating. Moreover, Adie's father, he was no longer able to withstand his cries.
Once completed, it's time for the body to be taken into an ambulance after being put in the previous crate. As desired Caroline directly to the funeral home, will be done a night of mourning (mai song). That was said earlier and allowed by the accompanying nun.
