Sadness In Silence

The body has been lowered into the pit, the rope of the shroud has been opened. The planks of the burrows began to be arranged and they began to hoard the body of Anitha's mother. Then put up a headstone.

After the prayers are finished, start one by one leaving the grave. Little by little and over time they will forget their buried sister.

Anitha and several close relatives, still seen squabbling on the side of the grave which is still very red soil. Not only is Anitha so deeply overwhelmed with grief. Jeffy also looks in the face of sadness.

Her memories have come back since knowing Anitha's mother and often together. Plus the memory of his mother who had also left.

"Let's go, let's go home," asked Mak wo Anitha when it was felt to have been there long enough.

Anitha was silent. Yet he remained motionless when gently pulled master Nan. Anitha was caught in walking. Mind empty. He was in sadness, though he was silent.

Mr. Nan was feeling uneasy. If she could choose, she would be calmer to see Anitha crying than to be silent with a blank look.

Arrive at home. Anitha just sat pensively in her mother's room. She hugged her mother's blanket. Anitha curled up without being able to make a sound. It was all like a dream to him. Without anyone imagining Anitha her mother would just leave.

Mr. Nan made little room for Anitha. She let Anitha stay in her mother's room. The door of the room was left open by Mr. Nan. He's just monitoring.

The mourners are still coming. Mr. Nan along with Anitha's welcoming family, replaced Anitha.

"How are you, brother?" ask Harri.

"Okay, how are you?" Harri asked back.

Raya and her mother immediately came upon hearing the news of this disaster. Raya even told Ajeng. Anitha no longer cared about her phone once she got the last word about her mother. Ajeng and Sahrul until the next day.

"Sir, I'm so sorry" Ajeng and Sahrul said this afternoon to Mr. Nan.

"Thank you, yeah."

"Sorry, Anitha's still in mom's room, sir?" ask Ajeng. Ajeng had already heard from Raya, if Anitha was just silent. Even eating was bribed by Mr. Nan.

"Yes, try greeting Jeng. You guys are so familiar. How do you know he'd be more able to express his heart to you." Mr. Nan asked in a slow tone. Mr. Nan was also struck to see his wife like a living statue.

"Okay sir, thank you."

Take a break with Sahrul. Ajeng deliberately left their children to Sahrul's mother.

Go into the room. She saw Anitha lying hugging her mother's blanket. Slowly Ajeng approached the bed and sat in front of him.

Anitha was not bothered by the bed swaying as Ajeng occupied quietly. Ajeng stroked Anitha's hair.

"An ..." call Ajeng softly. There was no response from Anitha.

"An, I understand your sadness. But try not to get late. Would your mother be happy to see her favorite child like this?" Ajeng continued slowly. Her hands still stroked Anitha's hair.

Ajeng resumed his talk, regardless Anitha heard it or not. "Not even you think about Mr. Nansen who must be sad to see you like this. Think of your mother if she saw you as an undead."

Anitha's mind was empty, so she heard Nansen's name and the word about her mother. Ajeng's speech, breaking through his conscious threshold.

Anitha opened her eyes and stared in sorrow at Ajeng.

"Ajengs?" only one word he could say. Ajeng tried to toughen up and instead decanted to see the state of Anitha is much different.

Ajeng instead cried sobbing and hugged Anitha who was still curled up on the bed. Ajeng's cry and Ajeng's tears that soaked his cheeks and flowed down Anitha's neck, made Anitha feel like she had a friend to cry with.

"I just miss my mother, I miss you so much" Anitha said trembling and bitterly. The crying started to break.

"If you want to send a prayer, read Al-Fatiha."

He lifted his body from Anitha. He helped Anitha sit down. He hugged Anitha again.

"I know, but cry as hard as you can. Don't be held like this. I wouldn't be happy to see her." Ajeng re-doctrines Anitha with the word 'mother'.

Anitha finally roared full of pain. Ajeng simply stroked Anitha's back and hair. He did not forbid and did not speak again. Ajeng strengthens Anitha through hugs alone. Let Anitha's sorrow befriend her tears.

Mr. Nan was in front of the door of the small open room. He could hear Ajeng. Master Nan was starting to be able to accept and understand their friendship.

Although Anitha and Ajeng had returned close and friendly, master Nan did not agree too much in his heart. He always monitored Ajeng for the sake of looking after his wife.

Now Mr. Nan understands. Ajeng and Anitha are two true friends. There are things that master Nan cannot do but Ajeng can do as a fellow woman. Accompany and dive into the heart of his best friend, the heart of Anitha.

Mr. Nan returned to the living room and joined Sahrul, Jeffy and Harri. Master Nan calmly left Anitha with Ajeng. Let Ajeng be his sharing companion.

"How's Nan?" ask Jeffy. Mr. Nan had just slammed into a seat next to Jeffy.

"They both cried." Mr. Nan exhaled slowly. Releasing his heartbreak from yesterday saw the state of Anitha.

"Good, at least there's been a response. Than a living statue." Jeffy.

Sahrul only listened to about the state of Anitha that he already knew from Ajeng when Raya gave news of grief. Deep in her heart, she wanted to comfort Anitha. But he knew it was all impossible.

The phone in Mr. Nan's pocket vibrated. He saw a call from his mother.

"Are you in Jakarta, Mom?"

"Nan is."

"If you're tired, rest at home first. Tomorrow we leave."

"No, mom wants to go straight there. How's Anitha?"

"With her best friend Ma'am. He is now crying in his best friend's arms" said Mr. Nan.

"All right, just wait. Mom will stay there today."

"I'm waiting for Mom, lati__."

"Sir, Anitha passed out." There was a panicked cry of Ajeng from the middle room. Mr. Nan had no time to continue or turn off his phone. He and the others rushed to the room. Even if they only look at the door of the room.

"Take the wind oil on Jeng's dresser." Tell Mr. Nan to calm down. Ajeng hurriedly picked up and hurriedly also gave to master Nan.

They wait. Within five minutes, Anitha opened her eyes. Her sad eyes caught the shadow of her husband. Jeffy and Sahrul breathed a sigh of relief involuntarily.

"You, I miss you so much." Back crying is present, although not as strong as with Ajeng.

"Yes," that was all that master Nan could say. He quietly left them. Back to the living room with Sahrul and the others.

"Bring rest. Kanda will accompany Dinda." Mr. Nan gave the water white. Anitha gulps.

Mr. Nan pushed slowly Anitha and laid down. "Sleep for a while" said Mr. Nan. Anitha complied and soon fell asleep.

"I'm sorry dear kanda. Kanda was forced to give you sleeping pills ." Mr. Nan kept stroking Anitha's hair.

Long ago mister Nan looked at his wife. He did not expect his wife's life path to be so full of twists and turns.

Mr. Nan felt the same tightness, he did not expect his mother-in-law to just leave. The mother he loved very much too. Her tears were present accompanying her sharp eyes.

Mr. Nan peeped at Anitha's forehead. "May you be strong, dear. I feel what you feel too. Your mother was such a kind and gentle woman. I will always be there for you. Whatever happens."
