Two Ribs

#25

It's twelve o'clock at night. But bang Handi hasn't come home yet. After driving us to my father's house. Bang Handi said goodbye to his friend's house by borrowing his motorcycle Kakaf.

Then bang Handi called to ask me to come home first to bring the children. Because if you wait for bang Handi, he's afraid of the night. Tomorrow, children should go to school.

"What's the de?"

Kakaf picked up my phone on the first ring.

"Have the kids returned Kaf's motor?"

"Yet. I thought I brought Handi home".

"Bang Handi hasn't returned to Kaf".

"Have you got this hour?"

I nodded even though I knew the kakaf didn't see it.

"Where is she coming to the woman's house?"

"Kakaaaaffa"

Kakaf laughing.

"Don't worry. Already on the phone?"

"Active. It's been an hour ago".

"Well, actually stop by that second wife"

"Kakaaff, this is serious. Not usually either"

"The battery died times. Ntar brother try calling. Already, brought to pray".

"Yes kaf, later if you bang Handi return the motor, you know yes"

"Yes, just calm down. Try to sleep, right?"

"Thank you Kaf"

I cut off the phone with Kakaf. Frankly, something is making me feel uneasy.

Bang Handi not once just came home almost early in the morning. But this time I was really nervous. I tried to close my eyes. But these eyes are hard to shut.

I finally entered the children's room. And lay down on Azka's bed while hugging her.

Time showed at three in the morning when my phone rang. I was shocked and sat down. I took a breath before I saw who called me.

"Hello. yes Kaf?"

"Open the door de, brother in front of your house"

"Huh?"

"Later the child wakes up when the brother rings the bell"

I also went to the front door. I heard there was a car. I looked in the window before opening the door.

It was not just Kakaf who came. But there's Mia and Rei and two people I don't know.

I opened the door immediately.

"What's Kaf?"

My gut tells me something's going on.

Kakaf hugged me into his arms.

"Sorry, what's wrong?"

I pushed the body of the kakaf that was holding me.

Kakaf took a breath first before answering me.

"Due the accident, now in the hospital"

Kakaf said while holding me back tightly.

"Sister Mia and Rei are here looking after the children. Tomorrow morning was picked up by Andi. Kasian if they're taken tonight. Ade's coming with sister tonight to the hospital, huh?"

I was silent without reaction.

"De?"

Kakaf took off his embrace and raised my head. My tears have been shed without a sound.

"Come, ready. Jacket pake"

Kakaf asked Mia's sister to accompany me to the room.

Once I'm ready. I also leave the children to Sister Mia.

"Tomorrow in the morning please tell in-laws ade next to ya sis? Titip's a big boy".

Brother Mia nodded while hugging me.

I also went with Kakaf in addition to two strangers who I recently found out they were Kakaf's schoolmate's police.

"What about Bang Handi?"

"Sister has not seen, the same brother Andi directly told you to pick you up"

I looked at Kakaf who had been looking out the window.

My voice changed because it held back the crying.

Kakaf. Seemed uneasiness in the eyes of the kakaf. I clearly saw that the kakaf was trying to hold back the crying.

I hugged the kakaf and cried.

"What's the worst Kaf?"

"Sister doesn't know yet. Wait at the hospital, we'll see together".

I continued to be in Kakaf's arms until we arrived at the Regional Hospital Emergency Installation.

When my steps arrived. I saw Kak Alif, Kak Andi, Kak Fian, Mr, his eldest brother Bang Handi and also his second number brother. Everyone is in the hospital.

I was silent for a moment. They all knew about this. The proof is that my two brothers-in-law have been here before me.

My father immediately hugged me.

"Ikhlas yes son. Sincerely"

I threw it at my father's feet for a moment. Kakaf hugged me.

"Want to see Bang Handi sir?"

Kakaf helped me stand up.

Accompanied by the police, we went inside.

I don't see any bang Handi. All I saw was someone lying covered in cloth all over his body.

I fell back down. Bang Handi is the one who is covered in cloth all over his body?

This time it was Alif who helped me stand up. I saw Kakaf crying beside the bed of the man covered in cloth. My heart is sure that it is indeed a Handi bang.

Cry broke. Her morning sun in the emergency room became noisy because of my cries and screams.

I protested to God.

I scream like crazy.

"Istighfar.. Istighfar darling"

I washed my face with water.

I haven't seen a Handi bang. I haven't opened that face-covering cloth yet. Who knows, he's not a Handi bang.

I thrust my foot forward excitedly toward the hospital bed.

Not bang Handi.. Not bang Handi..

Those are the words I believe in as I continue to move forward.

My hand was ready to open the cover when Brother Alif held it.

"You must be strong"

I nodded as I continued to stare towards the bed. Alif opened it slowly.

As soon as the cloth is open. My crying broke right back. I hugged the stiff-lying body. Ask him to wake up.

"Don't joke bang. Let's wake. Children are young, children still need a brother"

I kept crying.

Brother Fian and Brother Andi tried to lift me up. Separate me from the body I hold.

"Don't be like this de, kasian Handi. Ikhlaskan, let Handi's path be easy".

I kept hugging. I could not ignore the sound of voices persuading me.

I heard Kakaf crying on the other side of the bed.

"Izal, don't be like this. Ade Kasian. You must be strong. Ade needs us to zal".

I heard Kak Andi's voice remind Kakaf.

Before everything went dark without a sound.

Take me bang Handi.

###############

I was in the care of the doctors because I was unconscious. Bang Handi also had to undergo an autopsy. But I refused an autopsy of the inside. I'll allow for an autopsy on the outside.

Why an autopsy?

Turns out that bang Handi had no accident. But Bang Handi was the victim of a break-in.

That's what I heard from the police when I asked why I had to be at the autopsy.

For a more detailed story, I don't know it yet.

All I know right now is that I'm pregnant.

When I was unconscious, I was. The doctors examined me and found out about my pregnancy.

I was hysterical when I found out. I came back crying. Again blame the creator for this incident. I really lost my mind.

I finally came back unconscious.

I wish when I wake up, all this is just a dream.
