BLESSINGS OF LOVE
That Day 4


"Bang, I've been trying to contact Ms. Asmila, but since then the number has not been active," Ratna fretted because her best friend could not be contacted.


"Maybe the battery runs out, or the signal is hard to reach. Rainy weather like this, plus heading to our village it must pass through the mountains. Just calm down, I'm sure that there is a signal too surely Ma'am Asmila will call you" said Ali husband Ratna while cleaning up the items in his small shop.


"The shop will close? don't dong first, later Asmila will be difficult to find us," Ratna prevented her husband from closing their store.


"Now it's raining all day, all day shopping to our store is only two three people. Now it's almost eight o'clock at night, it's raining anyway, where there's more people going shopping" Ali's husband Ratna started to nag.


"Yes, but I gave this benchmark of our shop to Madam Asmila," whined Ratna.


"In front of our store there's a big nameplate, Bang Ali Grocery Store. The time was illegible, "Ali was getting upset to see his wife who was so afraid Asmila could not find their place to live.


Ratna pouted, but could no longer oppose her husband. So he could only remain silent while holding back his annoyance.


"Well, the charcoal is all wet, even though I have closed the sack and stored in the warehouse," complained Hastomo when he will make embers to burn the fish caught this afternoon with Fuad.


"Burning wood also does not exist, too bad. Though it had been an aspiration since noon yesterday to burn fish tonight," Fuad also felt disappointed when he saw the charcoal that was wet.


"Surprisingly, charcoal should not be wet because it is stored in a place that is impossible to get rain," Hastomo examined where the water source that can make charcoal wet.


"The name is also the rainy season, it could be wetness, maybe because it is damp or there is water seepage from the wall," Fuad said.


"Yes, that's it, so what now? let's just fry the fish, yeah," said Hastomo.


"Hmmm, inevitably, that much fish will be flanked again, we must immediately process it into food," Fuad was confused because there were currently twenty fish in front of him.


"Maybe we invite some other friends to join, so that the atmosphere of this rainy week night can be a little crowded," Hastomo gave an idea.


"Aren't Tomo going to sell tonight?" ask Fuad.


"The rain continues this way no one will buy, so we better have a little fun tonight with other friends".


Fuad also agreed, then immediately contacted some old neighbors who used to hang out with him.


Asmida cooked the rice of her husband, Fuad and some of her friends, but she was very surprised that her rice was ripe.


"Mom, why is this rice, Dad?"asked Asmida to her mother while showing the rice that had been cooked changed into a shape like a porridge and the smell was not good.


"It must have washed the rice less clean and the water is too much when cooked. So the rice was like this," Mother Jaka looked to regret the broken-looking rice.


"No, ma'am, Mida washed the rice a few times, and the water that was put into the magic com also matched the size of my finger," Asmida did not accept her mother's words.


"What the hell?" ask Hastomo when he enters the kitchen.


"This is mas, the rice is like this" Asmida pointed out the broken rice.


"Oh, maybe the rice is not good. Tomorrow I exchange rice to the market" said Hastomo.


"It could be, anyway" Mother Jaka also agreed with the words of her daughter-in-law.


"It goes without thinking, so later to eat a lot of people can buy at the front rice stall," Hastomo appeased his wife who looked still upset.


"Fuad, please buy rice to the front stall, just ride my bike. We're eight packs, then Mida, Mom, Dad and the kids. Please just buy fifteen packs because you know that Hansip and the Musholla children ate a lot" Hastomo asked Fuad for help.


"Oh, I'm the boss, let me buy it. The rain drizzled like this when boss Fuad got sick," Hansip suddenly interjected and offered himself to buy rice.


"Okay, here's the money" Fuad took out a red note to Hansip.


Soon Hansip was sliding towards the rice stall to buy rice wrap.


"Didn't Mida's sister cook rice?" ask Fuad to Hastomo.


"Yes, only the rice is biyek and smells weird. Maybe the rice is ugly or the ripe one is daydreaming again" said Hastomo.


Fuad smiled, but his little heart suddenly felt bad. He remembered the story of his grandmother first, if you cook rice then when the ripe is broken smelling there is usually a family member who died in an accident.


"You didn't call Mila? saying we're in a gathering to eat fried fish and sambal, "Hastomo reminds Fuad to contact his wife.


"Hehehe, it's not good. He was afraid he was gathering with the director" Fuad replied.


"Where is Mila?" Hastomo felt strange hearing Fuad's expression.


"And he's on a seminar tour to some town. Tonight he said there would be a meeting with the Board of Directors, and next week a trip to several cities, "Fuad explained to Hastomo.


Hearing that, of course, Hastomo became surprised, because as he remembered a few nights ago Asmila asked permission for Asmida to go to Bengkulu to seek treatment with her friend.


I wanted to question the difference Asmila said to his wife and to Fuad. But Hastomo thought again fearing his mishearing self, so he just silently nodded his head.


When the packaged rice that was purchased last time came, then they immediately crowded out to eat together.


Only strangely, fried fish and sambal that should be delicious, but somehow it feels bland even though it has been added spice again though.


"Suster, how many more patients are there?"aletha asked the nurse.


"Three more people, doc," said the nurse.


"Please tell them that they will be treated by Dr. Yunita. I wanted to go home, my mother just called me to tell me that my son had a sudden fever and was vomiting" Aletha said, inserting her personal equipment into a bag.


"But sorry, did doctor Yunita already know about this?" the nurse asked as if she was afraid of facing Yunita.


"Know dong. Okay, I'll take my leave. I spoke with Dr. Yunita earlier" said Aletha as she headed out of her practice room.


In front of the clinic Aletha met Hussein her husband's best friend who was going to pick up his wife Yunita.


"Mas Husein, I'm sorry Yunita is handling the rest of my patients. Because just now from the house mamih called that Edwin suddenly hot fever," Aletha felt bad with Husein.


"Look easy, our son also I brought it, later his mother finished the practice to walk first for a while," said Hussein pacified Aletha.


"Here soon home, pity Edwin your son must have been waiting for you," continued Husein and Aletha while nodding her head and then saying goodbye to him.


"Pity of Aletha, must come here alone. Where the fool Asrul was, I never thought he would leave his wife's child. One day I must have met him, "Husein looked upset at his best friend who had left his son and wife without news.


About half an hour in the lobby of Aletha's dental clinic, Yunita went out to see her husband.


"Well, where are the kids?"yunita asked as she exited the clinic.


"There's ahead, just like the mother," Husein pointed to her children playing in the clinic yard accompanied by her caregiver.


"I feel sorry for Aletha, I don't know where Asrul is. I'm not sure if anyone has given him a job to Palembang there" Husein said to his wife.


"I suspect he ran off to find that Jena, isn't that little girl the guy there, huh?" Yunita is seen to be upset by Asrul's actions.


"Don't accuse me, I don't understand who gave him the job. The problem is both Arya and Louis Orlando also claimed there is no work for Asrul in the city," said Husein told his wife.


"I became even more convinced that Asrul was meeting the Jena," Yunita curiously mentioned the name.


"Ah, let's go, let's just snack in Bandungan, okay?" Husein took his wife.


"Okay, I want ginger wedang," greeted Yunita while holding her husband's hand.


"Son, why are you darling?" aletha asked while hugging her child.


His son's body was hot, his body was shivering like a cold person.


"So I've given you a heat-lowering drug, but the condition is still just like that," Mother Edmun looks very worried about seeing the condition of her favorite granddaughter.


"Why is this fever? did he play in the rain or what?" aletha asked her mother.


"She hasn't been anywhere since noon, after school she's been playing at home".


"So much dinner, then watching television. Uh, suddenly coughing, then vomiting and complaining of chest pain," Edmun's mother said as she stroked her granddaughter's head.


"Tomorrow if the fever doesn't go down, we take it to the hospital. Tonight let Etha sleep with her, want Etha to massage her chest. Pity seems to catch a cold in that part," said Aletha while taking a special rubbing balsam child.


"Mother, his chest hurts like something is piercing" Edwin told Aletha.


"Dear, you catch a cold, son. Come on, mother massage slowly well," said Aletha while massaging her child's chest slowly.


"Mother, the pain is from the inside. like being stabbed by that sharp wood," Edwin complained again because he felt his chest pain.


"Yes, kid. It's in the wind its name. Hopefully after rubbing this is better well".


Edwin nodded weakly and his eyes immediately closed as he felt dizzy.


"Mamih, it's strange that Mas Asrul from earlier could not be contacted. I wanted to tell her the condition of her son, but somehow it was always off her phone" complained Aletha.


"Don't be right said the man, your husband has another wife there" Mother Edmun said.


"No, I'm sure Mas Asrul is not such a man," Aletha tried to deny that even in her little heart there was a conjecture in that direction.


"Maybe not, but when he was almost never asked the news of his son, then seemed to not care. Honestly, Mamih is suspicious, but hopefully mamih's guess is wrong".


Edmun's mother passed from her son's room with a sigh, however how a mother would be upset if she saw her son was hurt by his daughter-in-law.


"Later how the people of the village saw Jena come bring the baby and husband of people. To be saved where else this face," complained Jamal's mother Jena.


"Yes, that kid is actually smart. The school is also smart, college graduated to bachelor. But his nature is strange. It's a pleasure to damage people's households" said Mother Jamal's sister, who is usually called Yu Zah.


"That's it, when since she was a child she never lacked affection. I just don't know why so grown up so so".


"I remember Jena always tried to tease Jupri. Every time you want to go to school, you must always talk to Jupri while laughing strangely," said Yu Zah remembering the behavior of Jena in the past.


"If you're honest, my son seduces a lot of people. Jupri is one of them, and you know his teacher at High School also got divorced from his wife because of my son," Jamal's mother was distressed considering the behavior of her son.


"Sorry brother, if I remember him changing when Bang Jamal used to cheat and torture brother. After the incident he became changed, happy to tease married men or men have lovers. The origin of the household or their relationship is damaged, surely he is like satisfied," Yu Zah put forward his analysis.


Jamal's mother took a deep breath, then exhaled heavily.


"It could be Zah, the events of the past have changed his behavior".


"Hmmm, I just assumed so, brother. I hope it's not like that".


"Middle of the night he said he'd be here, I don't know how to greet them later" Jamal's mother was confused not knowing what to do.


"Prophey brother, I must be helping brother. Don't be afraid I'll help greet them" Yu Zah said.


Jamal's mother smiled, then Yu Zah hugged her brother who was feeling upset.


"Rey, try turning your car a little bit in this direction so that the car's spotlights can highlight this road," Alex asked Rey the mountain car driver.


"Okay, wait".


Then Rey turned her car around and the car's spotlights were pointed at the guardrail, then saw a steep road descending on the contrary.


"Yes right, look Alex it's a tree like it's been hit by something big. Maybe the car was slammed down there," said Sony pointed to a fallen tree and there was a footprint of a large object had hit it.


"I have SAR team mates, how about we call them?" bram.


"I agree with what Bram said. Now while he's calling his friend, how about we go down there?" take Nico to his friends.


"Me too" Alex agreed.


"I'm here with Bram, you three get off. It's a walkie talkie, you guys bring each one and it's a head safety helmet and a headlight, too" Rey said as she pulled the equipment out of the box behind the trunk of her car.


"Indeed, this boss always has any equipment in the car. It's just a pity that girlfriends don't have one" Nico teased Rey.


"Shut up, don't talk too much. It's a special stick, definitely a slippery way down. This stick in addition to holding on, can also be to repel snakes," said Rey while distributing the object to her three friends.


"Ready commander!" sony is holding the stick from Rey.


"Fixed communication to us, I've contacted my friend. Indeed use a short message only, because there is no strong signal to call from here," Bram told his three friends.


"We go first well, if there's anything we call you," Alex said as he invited his two friends to immediately go down to the ravine.


"We follow the tread of the car shifting here, look like the car slammed from here down there," Nico highlighted the road and saw the traces of the body of the car slammed into the bottom of the gorge.


The three walked towards the bottom of the abyss while continuing to communicate with the two friends waiting above.


At the SAR team headquarters, Arif was playing chess with his co-workers.


"The loser of the coffee treat, well," challenge Arif who always wins when playing chess.


"Ah..you must win continuously, try occasionally you give up," said his friend to Arif.


"Hahahaha.no, we play fair, bro. The loser of the coffee treat, hahahaha," Arif laughed in response to his friend's complaint.


"Come on, who knows I won," one of his friends immediately sat opposite him.


Arif of course gladly accepted his friend's challenge.


Arif's two steps showed that he looked like he was going to win.


"Whoi!!! Arif this phone sounds!!!" one of his friends screamed to tell him.


"Okay, who the hell. Please bring it here, bro," Arif's pinta.


"Bayarin coffee first, then I bring it there," his friend even prank himself.


"Oohhhhh!!! yes !!! bring me my phone first,!!!" exclaim Arif with a slumber.


Then his friend approached while carrying his cellphone.


"Well!!! Brams? what's up, huh?!!!" arif said when he saw the name Bram appear on his dress.


"Hello Bram!!! Hello!!! Hello!!!" Arif shouted because Bram's voice was very small and far away.


Arif stood up trying to find a signal," Look out, don't be cunning well".


Threaten Arif to his friend who was playing with him, then he exited the room.


"What Bram??!!! Hello Bram!!!" bram's voice was still not clear.


The other friend inside secretly swapped one of the pieces on the chessboard, then all giggled looking at it.


"What?!!! what message?!!!"yelled Arif trying to understand what Bram said.


"Read my message!!!!" shouts Bram from the other end.


Then the communication was cut off, and Arif tried to call back also could not.


Then Arif opened a short message box on his phone and read there was a message from Bram if there was a car entering the ravine at the foot of the mountain.


"Guys.there's a car plunged into the ravine at the foot of the mountain. It's a message from a friend who just called me, maybe he's on the spot" Arif told all his friends.


"Well, let's go there" said another.


"Let's finish our game. It's my turn to walk" said his friend Arif who was playing chess with him earlier.


"Come, pride is at stake!!!," said Arif.


"Silver!!!" exclaim that friend.


"Well!!!how can???!!! cunning you guys," Arif can't take him down.


"Sneaky what? I didn't touch anything" his friend dodged.


"Free coffee, let's get Arif to pay for coffee!!!" and other ones too.


"Yes, I'm now at the foot of the mountain first to confirm the truth of this news, later I return from there I pay for all your coffee," Arif looks upset because he knows he was bullied by his friends.


"Hahahaha, of course we record these words of yours, Hahahaha".


"Eits...!!! Be careful!!!" Sony pulled Nico who almost fell onto a spiky tree branch.


"Astagfirullah, I almost got stuck in this branch," Nico to sit limp looking at the pointed branch.


"This is if it's piercing people's chests, it must be a good bye," Alex said as he pushed the branch in the other direction.


"But maybe something got stabbed, bro. It's got broken glass, it could be a pointy branch fault piercing one of the people in the car" Sony said, squatting and highlighting the broken glass under the tree.


"Let's continue the road again, be careful, this land is getting down the more slippery. If you're not careful, it can be dangerous" Alex said, taking his two friends for another walk.


From a distance came the sound of rushing river water, then the three of them walked following the sound of the river flow.


"The river is on the tide, bro. The water is rising that high" said Nico, pointing to a river where the water is overflowing.


"Hmmm, but where was the car, huh?" alex asked while checking the presence of cars around the location.


"I'm sure one hundred percent of the car went in and drowned in the river. Is there a trace of it?" sony said while showing there is a large object footprint that goes into the water.


"That means the car was from above rolling around a few times, then splashing into this river," Nico looked creepy imagining the incident.


"River tide like this must be a car dragged into the middle. The problem is that we don't have the tools to check the car into the middle of the river" Alex said with a sigh.


"Hopefully his friend Bram can come here soon," said Nico again.


Sony reported to Rey and Bram via radio communication that is a hand talkie, and of course the two friends were also surprised to hear the news from the delivered.


Before long there were two motorcycles coming towards them, of course Arif brought three of his friends.


Bram immediately conveyed to Arif the news from under the cliff that Sony had not long delivered to him.


Directly the SAR Team members immediately descended down the ravine to ascertain what was just delivered by Bram.


"Yes right, this is the trace of the car was dragged into the river, the problem is now the position of the car is where and whether there are still survivors" said Arif when arriving at the river.


"We have to call the whole team, and call the police. Hopefully there are still survivors" said his friend Arif who is a fellow member of the Team.


"Come, we'll move right away, worried that there's still a living thing in that car".


Finally Arif contacted his entire team to tell the truth that there was a car drowning in the river under the foot of the mountain.


In addition, they also immediately contacted the local police and delivered the same news.


Not only that, it happened that there were media crews who were looking for news at the police station, immediately contacted other friends that there was a car into the ravine and drowned into the river.


Arif and his friends who were at the location immediately combed along the edge of the river that was tidal.


The flow of water is very swift and tight, the possibility of the car can be dragged up to several meters away.


The sky was also very dark because at that time the drizzle was still wetting the earth.


Floodlights on the head and a large flashlight were not enough to illuminate the river that night.


The cold weather also pierced into the bones of those who were walking on the riverbank.


"It looks like we have to wait for the sun to rise, then we can move to find the whereabouts of the car".


"Mario, let's open your eyes" Oma Elisabeth called her name.


Mario blinked his eyes and a bright light pierced his eyes.


The face of Oma Elisabeth stood up and stretched out her hand, and Mario grabbed the soft hand.


"Where are we, Oma?" mario asked as he looked at the face of his grandmother he loved so much.


Oma Elisabeth did not answer but grabbed Mario's hand towards a very bright path.


Mario looked around him, there was a woman standing not far from him, and she was also walking down the bright road with an old woman as old as her grandmother.


He also saw a figure of light resembling a human being hugging a small baby.


Behind him was a pair of men and women following the figure from behind him.


While on the left side there are several black figures dragging two people who thrashed for release.


But the black figures just now continue to drag the two people were either taken where.


Mario walked next to Oma Elisabeth, the road he was walking on was very bright.


Asmila stepped with her mother-in-law, she also saw a man with a friendly old mother with a face shining like the face of her mother-in-law.


Both Mario and Asmila felt they had known each other but the memory was lost altogether.


So that at this time there was nothing they knew, only the figure of the old man who was with him who had picked him up.


Before long they arrived at a ravine, under the ravine a river of blazing fire.


But across the river of fire there was a magnificent and beautiful palace, it must be very comfortable and pleasant if you can enter the gate of the palace.


Oma Elisabeth released her grip on Mario's hand, and so did the woman's grasp of the old mother with her also come off.


The glowing figure that had been carrying the baby earlier, suddenly flew upwards and stopped in the middle of the river of fire.


Then the figure drew Oma Elisabeth and also Mother Kusnadi, and the glowing figure said to them there.


"Only your charity, the prayers and forgiveness of those who are still alive will be able to bring you into the gate there".


Then the ground they stepped on suddenly shrank to the size of their feet standing.


"If there are no good deeds, prayers and forgiveness that you receive, then little by little the land that you incandesce will be eroded away".


"But if there is kindness and prayer for you, then a stone will appear before you that you can incite to enter the gate there".


Then the glowing figure turned around while hugging the baby and invited Oma Elisabeth and Mother Kusnadi to enter the gate of eternal peace.
