The Widow's Choice

Funeral

The sound of the chanting of the holy verse echoes melodiously among the hilarity. Bringing an atmosphere of grief so felt. A white flag fluttering on the side of the road became a sign that there was suffering.

Bu Lastri's house that morning had been crowded by the neighbors. After Nita returned home, she told the family and RT's chairman the news about his mother. The neighbors began to arrive.

At eight in the morning, the sound of the hearse siren distracts everyone. Bu Lastri's body has reached the funeral home. Rahman and Nurul returned from the hospital.

The cries of relatives and some neighbors began to be heard. The body is first sholated in the funeral home. Some people took turns to shove it. Nita and Nurul are no exception. They met with Rahman and the neighbors.

"Utiii!" al's voice sounded sad while running towards the house after Bu Dira's car arrived.

Al immediately approached Bu Lastri's body. He was crying beside her. Nurul immediately approached his son and invited him to move on from there. Al was crying in his mother's arms. Nurul also unceasingly let out her tears.

Bu Dira and Fatimah who had just arrived immediately embraced Nurul whose face was very swollen. Rika and Nana also approached Nurul and hugged him.

"Propay for Rul! Heaven awaits. You must be sincere!" rika said while rubbing Nurul's arm.

"Please Ma'am Ka, Ma'am Na,"

"The cry! I'm definitely not going to see you like this!" nana said encouragingly.

Nurul. Bu Dira and others then sold Bu Lastri's body. After they finished, they accompanied Nurul in a chat to divert Nurul's grief.

On the other hand, Rahman and his two best friends and also Ali, are negotiating a solution to Rahman's problem. Ali, who already knew about Rahman's problem, helped find a solution.

"You have Li's advice?" ask Burhan.

"We asked Dinda directly!" reply Ali plain.

"Where does he want to say it" said Shodiq.

"If from your story yesterday Man, you mean framed. And Dinda, not alone" Burhan added.

"Emang Mas Rahman Why? Really sleeping with Dinda? Wow, you're missing Mas!"

"So your mouth Li!" Rahman was upset by Ali's words.

Burhan also told what Rahman revealed yesterday at the office.

"Fixes. The trap! And Madam Dinda, not alone. No, no, no,,"

Ali whispered something into Rahman's ear.

"Mas Akbar." Ali's whisper was very slow to Rahman's ears.

"Don't ngaco you Li! There's no way he's like that!" rebut Rahman with a little annoyance.

"Because you are being framed, we are trapping back Dinda" Shodiq suggested.

"How do you mean?" ask Burhan spirit.

They also planned something for Dinda. Plans to uncover the truth of the photos and videos that Dinda sent. And find the mastermind behind the slander.

"You were here, man! Pity Nurul if you stay home" Burhan advised after they finished drafting the plan.

"Yes. I'll be here a few days. Please take care of the office first!" answer Rahman.

"Here is calm! Later if there is anything we will tell you," Shodiq replied as he patted Rahman on the shoulder. They were back in the conversation.

At eleven in the afternoon, Bu Lastri's body was delivered to his final resting place. All the relatives took him to the funeral. The cries of Miss Lastri's family are unstoppable. Nita and Nurul hugged each other to strengthen.

After the bodies were buried, the mourners left the cemetery. Only Nurul and Rahman left.

"Let's get the deck home! You have to be sincere, let me also calm down,"

"Mother' Mas, Mother', hyx, hyx," Nurul tightly embraced Rahman's body. The crying has not subsided.

"I'm carrying ya, go home!"

Nurul shook his head. "Bu', Nurul went home first yes," Nurul said as he rubbed Bu Lastri's headstone.

Nurul slowly got up and walked slowly with Rahman. At home, there were many relatives and neighbors who helped. Miss Dira and the others have not returned.

After the dzuhur prayer, Bu Dira said goodbye to Nita and Nurul. Bu Dira left Al while in Jogja. Nurul and Al also released the return of Bu Dira.

In the evening, the neighbors recited Surah Yaasiin and tahlil at Nita's house. Nurul who was too tired, chose to rest in Bu Lastri's room with Al.

After the event and the neighbors and relatives returned home, Nita and her family rested. Rahman soon follows Nurul and Al into the room. When he entered, Nurul woke up from his sleep.

"Have you finished?" asked Nurul with sleepy eyes.

"It has. Sleep again!" rahman answered while sitting on the edge of the bed.

Nurul nodded her head. Rahman then held a mat in the room. And then put his body there.

Suddenly Nurul woke up from his sleep. He catches up with Rahman and sleeps on the mat with Rahman.

"Sleep on top, baby! You're pregnant, don't sleep here!"

Instead of getting up and standing up, Nurul hugged Rahman and began to close his eyes.

"Sleep on top baby, it's cold in here! Not good for you and your baby." Nurul shook his head at Rahman's chest.

"Let me be like this! Hugging you is all mine! Before I have to share it with Mbak Dinda tomorrow." Nurul murmured inwardly. His eyes are getting hot. But he kept the tears from spilling.

"We slept on top! Looks like it still fit the bed for the three," Rahman rubbed Nurul's head. "But you don't move much, I'll fall down!"

Nurul then let go of her embrace. They also sleep in Bu Lastri's small bed with Al. Yep. In a bed measuring 140x200cm, the little family slept. Nurul hugged Rahman. Rahman happily returned the embrace of his wife. Until they sleep together.

Two days after the departure of Bu Lastri, Bu Dira returned to Jogja to pick up Al. That was at Rahman's request. Rahman didn't want Al to miss school too long. So, he asked Bu Dira to pick Al up to Jogja. He still has to accompany Nurul who still wants to be in Jogja in a few days.

Rahman's office was temporarily taken care of by Shodiq and Bu Dira. Burhan was assigned by Bu Dira to handle the video and photo problems with Ali.

That afternoon, after Al returned to D**** with Bu Dira, Nurul was sleeping in his room. Her body was weak and a little feverish.

"Sir, eat! You haven't eaten yesterday" pinta Nita said after entering Nurul's room.

"Udah Ma'am! Nurul yesterday ate omelet roll same pudding that made a guest snack,"

"You haven't eaten rice, have you been in Jogja? Eating only one snack, where is full? Poor your baby,"

"Eemmhh, Ma'am! Mom, if you buy to know where the bolster is? Is this clock still open?"

"You want? If you want, let it be bought by Mas Yudi," bargained Nita who was immediately embraced by Nurul.

"Yaudah, wait a minute! To be bought by Mas Yudi, "Nita immediately left Nurul's room to find her husband.

Thirty minutes later, Yudi had already returned with a few packs of tofu bolsters. Nurul rushed to get a plastic bag and took it out of the house.

"Lho Dek, where are you going?" rahman asked after seeing Nurul out of the house.

"You go to the tomb!"

Rahman soon followed him. "Man, eat first!" scream Nita.

"Later on Ma'am," replied Rahman as he ran after Nurul.

"That's a kid, why keep yanking! It is difficult to be told to eat. Poor Rahman is!" mummified Nita.

"Udah Deck! Try dasehatin slowly. Do'ain, Rahman patiently ngadepin Nurul!" answer Yudi.

"Yes, Aamiin." Replied Nita while opening the plastic containing tofu bolsters. Nita and Yudi along with their two daughters immediately enjoyed the tofu bolts purchased by Yudi.

At the tomb, Nurul directly sat next to Bu Lastri's tomb. He put the plastic he was carrying next to him.

"Mom', that's Mas Yudi buyin know your favorite bolster'. Eat yuk Bu' same Nurul!" nurul said as he rubbed Bu Lastri's headstone.

Rahman crouched down near Nurul. Suddenly the phone in his pocket rang. He then stood up and moved a few steps away from Nurul after seeing the name of the penelfon.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat. How's it?" greet Rahman.

"You're sending a message now. Next, let me and Burhan take care of it!"

"okay! Thank's Diq!"

"We're best friends, it should be this way." The phone connection was immediately cut off. Rahman immediately typed in a message and sent it. After that he pocketed his cell phone and turned around to go back to Nurul.

"Dad!" Rahman ran over to Nurul who was lying unconscious on the ground. He holds half of Nurul's body.

"Darling, wake up!" Rahman patted Nurul's cheek gently. No response at all. Rahman immediately lifted Nurul's body.

"What'sthis? Why wet?" Rahman undoes his intention of lifting Nurul's body. He felt his arms wet. He then felt the back of the skirt worn by Nurul.

"No way Nurul wet his bed, right? Amniotic fluid?" Rahman immediately remembered Arum's advice about pregnancy some time ago.

"Damn! I didn't bring a car," Rahman picked up his phone and made a call.

"Dude! Take my car to the tomb! Request the keys to Ms. Nita at the room table. Hurry along!"

"Well Sir!" replied a man on the phone. The phone connection was immediately cut off.

Before long Rahman's bodyguard comes in Rahman's car. Rahman immediately lifted Nurul's body and carried him into the car.

"To the hospital quickly!" rahman's orders to his bodyguard. He started to panic.

"Dear hold on!" Rahman said, rubbing his unconscious wife's cheek.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at one of the largest and best hospitals in the city. Rahman immediately led Nurul to the IGD. Nurul immediately received treatment from doctors and nurses. Rahman immediately informs Nita that Nurul has been admitted to the hospital.

Nita and Yudi rushed Rahman to the hospital. They are escorted by Eko, Rahman's other personal bodyguard, at Rahman's request.

"How is my wife Doctor?" rahman asked after a doctor had finished treating Nurul.

"His condition was seeping, but now it's okay. But next time, don't let this happen again! It will be very dangerous for the fetus." explained the middle-aged female doctor who had been handling Nurul.

"Good Doctor!" sahut Rahman's. "Sorry Doctor, can my wife have a CT scan for her head?"

"Is there a problem?"

"He often complained of a very painful headache. And a few days ago he had a headache until he fainted. As far as I know, he had been injured and his head hit by a rock without a helmet. Could it have an effect?"

"Can. Or maybe he's depressed?"

"He just lost his mother."

"Oh so. A CT scan can be done. We'll do an examination tomorrow. Patients please register for hospitalization first!"

"Good Doctor. Thank you." Thank you." Said Rahman who immediately saw the condition of Nurul. He's still unconscious.

Nita and Yudi came soon. Rahman then went to take care of the administration of the room for Nurul.

"*B*hold, baby! To me, Al and our son" Rahman murmured as he walked towards the administration desk.

The affection and love for Nurul has been dwelling in Rahman's heart. A heart that has been closed for seven years because of a betrayal. Now the heart is wide open to a name. Nur almira's.
