When You're Gone

What up...

The sun began to change color to orange. Evening began to show his pamor .The cool air typical of the hills now feels soft greeting with a gentle breeze.

Two hours Bakri and his small group left the Villa. Now Farhan and his entourage are preparing to explore the cypress forest behind the Villa. The group consisted of Farhan , Fariz, Alma, Meta , Qori, and three-year-old son Qori.

While Dwi and Qori's wife did not participate, they chose to accompany Khairani, who was babysitting for three babies. They were relaxing in the lakeside Gazebo while snacking on some small meals and coffee drinks ala cafe. While Gaza, Aliya and Alika are asleep inside their respective Stroller.

After some time outside, the air was getting colder, afraid that her child was exposed to the outside air for too long Khairani returned to her room with the babies with her. While Dwi and Qori's wife are still at home relaxing in Gazabo.

Until Khairani's room moved her children to the bed. Then he went to the bathroom to clean himself up. After finishing Khairani also bathed the babies changing, put on clothes and then breastfeed them.

After completing the series of activities Khairani sat on the sofa in the Villa room. His eyes caught his HP which he had not touched before. Opening the HP is hoping for news from Bakri . Apparently nil...

Khairani called Bakri, after several calls there was no sahutan from across there. Khairani finally stopped for a moment, he thought maybe Bakri was busy taking care of Luki, or again driving. Then she repeated the call to her husband, but there was no word.

An hour just passed. Khairani's feelings are getting more and more erratic. Her husband did not pick up the phone. Khairani now sits at Villa. Hope the fresh air can reduce the swelling.

From a distance Khairani sees her son has returned from the forest. But he felt strange when the only returning child and Meta. Farhan and Qori were invisible. Khairani impatiently wanted to ask, subconsciously stepping closer to them.

"Ta..why come back only four, Bang Farhan and Qori mana." he was impatient.

"Pak Farhan was able to call buk. trus hastily went the same bang Qori. He told me to take care of the children to the Villa. Oh yes, he ordered us to stay here tonight. Told to join one Villa aja. "answered Meta straightforwardly.

"Kok nginap again, tonight we want to check out, what the hell... " Khairani felt that something was happening. He chose to ask Farhan directly. Walk back to the room to retrieve his HP. He wants to call Farhan right away.

The first call was immediately picked up by Farhan "Ho Khairani, I'll drive later I call again. Now you and the children at Villa I will explain. "tut... " Farhan immediately disconnected the call without giving Khairani a chance to speak.

With increasingly chaotic feelings Khairani returns to meet Meta.

"Ta... You know who Farhan got the call from... ? meta just moaned in response.

"You didn't hear what that was...

The atmosphere at the Villa became tense, as seeing the worry on Khairani's face made everyone afraid to talk. Now they had gathered one Villa as Farhan had commanded.

Everyone knows something's going on, including Fariz and Alma. They felt that something was bad, but they were afraid to ask, let alone Fariz seeing his round eyes glazed over. Alma approached sitting near Fariz, when Khairani entered the room.

"What happened to me happened to me." asked Alma who had tears in her eyes.

" Sister does not know, do not cry, pity mother later follow sad. Just pray, I hope you're okay" Fariz said.

At dinner, everyone eats in silence. Only the clanking of spoons and plates was heard. Khairani refrained from speaking, fearing that her tears might come out. He knew his son was not in good shape either. There was fear and sadness in their eyes. But Khairani tried to ignore her only. Because Khairani himself is trying to make peace with his feelings.

Of the many calls Khairani made, none of the answers he got. Her husband's phone is off, probably out of battery. Farhan and Qori did not pick up her call. Finally a message came from Farhan.

Farhan .....

Khairani.wait at Villa, do not call first. rest easy. The kids need you now. Whatever happens here, it's my business. I know you must be very worried right now. We need your prayers, don't cry. I will come to explain later and do not think too much. Believe me I will do my best.

Khairani immediately sobbed. Her tears were unstoppable again. If not for fear of the tiny baby baby in front of him being surprised, maybe he was already shouting. Her soft crying voice was heartbreaking. Stupefied himself with tightness in his chest.

Khairani understands Farhan's message. There is an implied meaning implied to it. Her husband is not okay, that's what he understands. Khairani can't do anything. He could only wait for Farhan to come explain everything to him. She could only pray that her husband would be okay. Yes.that's the hope....

Meta can hear the sound of Khairani's cries being held back. He could only be silent not daring to speak. Meta already knew that Bakri had an accident. Back in the forest after Farhan received the call, Farhan had explained at a glance and asked Meta to look after Khairani and the children. Farhan forbade Meta from telling Khairani because Farhan did not know how severe the three men were.

Meta could only bring Alma into the room and tell her to sleep. So did Fariz. After enveloping Fariz and Alma, Meta turns off the lights, then exits towards his room .

Tonight was so quiet and gripping. Not like last night was warm and full of laughter. Everything changes in one night.That's how life is, sometimes tears come when happy. Sometimes a smile comes to cure lara. Sometimes laughter turns into tears or tears turn into laughter.
