BLESSINGS OF LOVE
Tuesday Fuad and Aletha

"Sir Fuad, it's been two days off the coast. It's not better in the office there, behind the desk. This is instead here on," commented one of the pipe-checking employees at an offshore oil refinery.

"Hahaha, I just sat down. It's better here, it's a lot of challenges than it is behind a desk facing a computer" Fuad said with a laugh.

"But inevitably, Mr. Fuad must still face the computer. Because the reports from us all went to your e-mail," said the employee.

"Yes, it's okay. Three days here, three days at the office. The important thing is that everything is going well" Fuad said.

While on the ground, precisely in Fuad's office, there are two police officers looking for him.

The two police officers are currently meeting with Mr. Nugraha, Fuad's direct superior.

"Good morning, we are from Cirebon City Police, and we have also received permission from Indramayu District Police to meet with Mr. Fuad Rahardian Kusnadi. Is the name really an employee in this office?" ask the Police.

"Yes, that name is our employee. And he's one of the division heads here. Is there anything we can help with regarding his search by the police?" ask Mr. Nugraha.

"Sorry, who are we talking to and what is the father's post?" ask the police again.

"I Nugraha, Chairman of the Division of oil and gas drilling off the coast. Fuad happens to be the Head of Division three sectors whose location is not close enough from here" said Mr. Nugraha.

"Well, Mr. Nugraha, we're sorry to ask again is it true that Mr. Fuad has a wife named Asmila Maryana?".

"Hmmm, yes, as far as I know it is true Fuad's wife named Asmila. Just his full name I don't memorize very much" said Mr. Nugraha.

"So, Mr. Fuad's wife, Asmila Maryana, was found Sunday dead from drowning in Palembang City. Maybe the news about it had been on the news on television," the police explained to Mr. Nugraha.

"Innalillahi wa innalillahi rojiun, is that right, Mr Policeman?" Mr. Nugraha was extremely shocked.

"That's how it is, and we also brought the evidence that we got from the Palembang Police by e-mail yesterday" replied the Police while handing over a map to Mr. Nugraha.

Mister Nugraha carefully opened the map, and saw a photo print of the face of the woman he knew as the wife of the head of his division.

"Right, I remember this was Fuad's wife. Why did it happen to him. As I recall Fuad and his wife are very kind and friendly people," Mr. Nugraha felt sad to learn of the reality.

"Is Mr Fuad now in the office ? If there is anything can we meet him ?" ask Police.

"Fuad is now off the coast, but I will try to call his phone and ask him to land" Mr Nugraha said.

Fuad's cell phone is in the bag, now he and his team off the coast are repairing there is one oil pipe that has a leak.

Although it has been more than ten times in contact, but Fuad did not also answer the phone from Mr. Nugraha.

Then Mr. Nugraha asked one of the officers to follow Fuad to the offshore oil drilling and pick him up to the office.

It was noon, and Fuad and his team were seen repairing a pipeline leak under the sea.

Fuad had to swim into the sea with several people to repair the leak of one of the pipes in the sea

Nearly an hour under the sea repairing a pipe, Fuad and his team climbed back to the surface.

Just now Fuad was sitting tired while drinking mineral water, suddenly from a distance there was a motor boat heading to the drilling site.

Shortly after the motorboat pulled over to the drilling dock, then a messenger officer Pak Nugraha got off and immediately looked for Fuad.

"Good day, sorry to interrupt the break. Only I was asked by Mr. Nugraha to pick up my father to go to the office immediately" the officer told Fuad.

"What's wrong? didn't I get permission from Mr. Nugraha that I would be here for the next two days" Fuad tried to refuse to be taken to the office.

"Yes, but there are currently two police officers waiting for the father in Pak Nugraha's office" the officer said.

"Police? what did I have wrong? don't freak you out on me," Fuad inflamed the officer.

"Sir, maybe Mr. Nugraha needs your help to talk to the police who are looking for information" said the team leader.

"Yes, what's the problem. Mister Nugraha should have called me first dong," Fuad still did not receive the pick-up.

"According to Mr. Nugraha, he has contacted the father more than ten times but there is no answer so I was sent here to pick up Mr. Fuad," said the officer remained adamant because he carried the mandate from his superiors.

Fuad scowled his face, then he stood up and walked towards the employee locker room. Then Fuad opened his locker cabinet to pick up his phone. It was true that there were eleven missed calls from his office phone number.

With a heavy heart Fuad immediately washed himself who was still sticky with sea water, after which exchanged clothes and followed with the officer on land to his office.

Actually Fuad was upset that his wife did not answer his phone call and also chat messages and short messages were always not sent.

His wife's phone seemed inactive again in a few days, so Fuad was very upset. Then by busying himself off the coast has made himself a little entertained by drifting in his work.

Upon arrival on land, with a shaky step he walked along the office hall to the room of his boss.

"Good day, sorry I'm late" Fuad said as he entered Mr. Nugraha's room.

"Please enter, this is Mr. Police from Cirebon City Police. Both Fathers of Police came with a letter of approval to enter the Indramayu area from the Police here," Mr. Nugraha introduced the two Policemen to Fuad.

Then Fuad reached out to shake the hands of the two policemen.

"Sorry, is there anything I can help you with? honestly I feel a bit surprised because I was wanted by the Police," Fuad said after shaking hands with the two Police while sitting in one of the chairs in the room.

The two policemen looked at each other for a while then one of them said to Fuad.

"Sir Fuad, is your wife's name Asmila Maryana?" ask the Police.

"Oh, yes, right. Is there a problem with my wife?" ask Fuad.

"Your wife was found dead on Sunday. Your wife became one of the victims who drowned from a travel car that slipped into a ravine and then entered the river and drowned in the Palembang City area," the police said so to Fuad.

"True, my wife's name is Asmila Maryana, and such a name is not just my wife. Then my wife could not go to Palembang, because I myself drove my wife to the station on Saturday morning this morning".

"My wife is a Director of the Agency of a well-known life insurance company. My wife's schedule on Saturday will be to attend a banquet at a star-rated hotel with her board of directors" Fuad told the police.

"My wife's schedule this week is a seminar road show to several major cities in west and central java. Where could he go to Palembang".

Fuad seemed very distrustful of the statements of the two Police.

"I'm sorry, maybe that's true. But please look at this map first, in it there is a printout of your wife's photo as well as some identification marks," said the Police while handing over a map that had previously been shown to Mr. Nugraha.

Then Fuad took the map and began to open it, at the beginning was seen a photo print of his wife's identification, such as a resident card, identity card in his office, as well as pin his company logo.

On the photo print sheet, the face of a woman with a swollen face and a broken neck is seen.

The face she was very familiar with, from her haircut, the color of her skin, and some small birthmarks on her cheeks.

Fuad looked at the prints, not feeling his tears running down his cheeks. Obviously it was his wife, Asmila Maryana whom he had known since childhood.

"How could my wife be in that car?" Fuad asked but no one could answer either.

"Has my wife's family been informed, Mr. Police?" ask Fuad again.

"Yet".

"How do I explain to my wife's family?" Fuad asked again as his tears were unstoppable.

"I can't tell them".

"Let us take Mr. Fuad to see your wife's family, and then we explain to them" the police offered to help Fuad to meet Asmila's family.

Not long seen in unison two cars, one Police car and the other Fuad car driven by another Police.

They headed to the family home of Mr. Jaka, the home of the Asmila family.

Hastomo is cleaning the stove that will be used tonight to trade catfish pecel rice.

Asmida today does not go to the life insurance office, so she helps her husband wash tomatoes and chili for ingredients to make catfish sauce.

Fuad's car entered Mr. Jaka's yard, followed by a police car behind him.

Seeing that Hastomo was of course very surprised, he stopped his work and walked over to Fuad's car.

Fuad opened the car door and ran to Hastomo.

"Mas, Asmila is dead" Fuad said, hugging Hastomo.

"Innalillahi wa innalillahi rojiun, when and what happened. Come on, you go inside, " said Hastomo trying to calm down while packing Fuad into his father-in-law's house.

"That's Fuad here with the police, what's the matter?" Asmida wonders to see her sister-in-law coming with the police.

"Where?" Jaka's mother took a peek at the arrival of her daughter-in-law.

"What's Fuad doing here with the police?" Jaka also felt strange.

Hastomo let the two policemen sit in the living room, he himself sat beside Fuad.

Asmida and her parents approached Fuad and Hastomo. Then Jaka asked, "What is this?".

Then the police introduced themselves and relayed what happened to Asmila.

Jaka's mother screamed and was unconscious, fortunately Hastomo immediately caught her mother-in-law's body before it could fall to the floor.

Asmida wept to the extent of rolling on the floor, screaming hysterically hearing her sister die like that.

Pak Jaka was just dumbstruck, there was no reaction just silence while sitting crying over the departure of his youngest child.

Both Asmida's children also cried when they saw her mother rolling on the floor like crazy people.

"Where is my son's body?" ask Jaka Sir.

"Still in the Palembang Police, if you agree to immediately be brought to this city. So we ask for help there is a letter that must be signed," said the police.

Fuad, without asking much questions, immediately signed the letter, all hoping that Asmila's body could soon be sent from Palembang to be buried properly in the city where they lived.

On the same day in the city of Semarang, the neighboring Police tried to knock the house of Asrul and Aletha.

Neighboring police themselves already know that Aletha must have a practice place, so after believing the house is empty then immediately go to Aletha's dental clinic.

At the dental clinic already there Aletha, she is the owner of the clinic as well as being a senior doctor there.

Yunita best friend also has a practice schedule at the clinic, but because of the morning he served in the health center so that it was only late in the afternoon to the evening practice at the clinic owned by his best friend.

In addition to Aletha and Yunita, there is currently also Haris, this person is a distant cousin of Aletha and is now on practice duty at the dental clinic.

"Tumben this morning there were only five six patients, usually more than ten people in line" said nurse Nana that morning.

"Don't do much, just that. I'll be exhausted if I have to handle a lot of people" Aletha said.

"Well, usually doctors are enthusiastic if a lot of people, today even not excited," nurse Nana was surprised after hearing doctor Aletha complain.

"I'm not a robot, there's also feeling tired once in a while," Aletha glanced at nurse Nana while glaring feignantly annoyed.

Nana's nurse immediately fell silent afraid the doctor was offended, whereas in her heart Aletha laughed amusedly at him.

Then after Aletha looks ready, nurse Nana calls the patient with the first order number.

The complaint is that the molars hurt when used to chew food, seen in the mirror there is no hole but pain always.

Doctor Aletha was very thorough, he was sure that the hole was between two loose teeth, so that from the outside it was invisible but caused tremendous pain.

Then Aletha examined the patient's teeth and tried to find the tooth hole that interferes with it very carefully.

After finishing the examination, then give some tips to his patients how to care for teeth and also the dental fillings.

"Remember, don't use hard chewing until tomorrow. If you feel hungry drink cereal first, so that dental fillings are not disturbed for the next five hours," said Aletha who followed the nod of her patient.

While waiting for the next patient, suddenly the clerk of the administration came into the practice room and said there was a policeman in front looking for Aletha's doctor.

Nana's nurse was certainly surprised and told Aletha's doctor about it.

"Well, what's up? Hmmm, try to be asked to come in here and tell the following patients to be patient for a moment," said Aletha when Nana's nurse conveyed about the arrival of the Police.

Nana's nurse invites the police to enter Aletha's doctor's office.

"Good morning, doctor Aletha," said the policeman who was a neighbor of his house first.

"Good morning, walah.this is his father Jojo his friend Edwin my son. How are you, sir?" Aletha is very friendly.

"Come, please sit down. How's Jojo doing? it's been a long time that our kids haven't played together well".

"Good news, my son is fine too. Thank you, doctor ma'am," said the neighboring police cordially.

"Wow, it's nice to see you because I haven't lived there for a long time" Aletha still seemed so pleased with the visit.

"Can I help you, sir?" ask Aletha again.

Neighboring police felt very ungodly, he saw the doctor Aletha who was very friendly and cheerful. What if he finally had to deliver this bad news.

While gulping, the police tried to arrange his heart for a moment to convey the news of Asrul's death to Aletha.

"Mother doctor, I'm sorry we had to deliver such unpleasant news. The husband of the doctor's mother, Mr. Asrul Mubarok, on Sunday was found dead due to an accident in Palembang. The car he was riding slipped into the ravine, then the car sank into the river. No one survived the incident, including your husband," the police said carefully to Aletha.

Hearing the police's words certainly made Aletha very surprised and trembling.

"Astagfirullah, innallahi wa innalillahi rojiun. How can it happen to my husband," Aletha started crying.

"And when it was found, Mr. Asrul died along with his wife and their baby" the police said.

"Sir, my husband did go to Palembang for work. And he set out on his own, how can you say there is a wife and baby with my husband," Aletha looks upset to hear him.

"Betul, Mr. Asrul Mubarok has a marriage record in series with Jena Anindia and they already have a baby girl. From the police note they were married about two weeks ago in the North Semarang area, and their baby was born in a midwife clinic in the same area a month earlier" the police continued.

"It makes no sense, my husband did last month leave for Palembang because there was a sudden job".

"No ma'am, your husband was recorded as a passenger PLB Air on Saturday last week. Then the possibility of traveling with his wife and child to another city in Palembang. But their car derailed and sank in the river at the foot of the mountain".

"Where is my husband's body now?" Aletha looks panicked.

"Sorry, they have been buried with their wives and babies in Palembang by the family of the late Jena Anindia" the police replied.

"WHAT!!!!".

"I'm his legal wife, and I haven't even seen my husband's body. How dare they bury my husband. I can't take it" Aletha was angry and disappointed

Her body trembled and shook, nurse Nana immediately grabbed and hugged Aletha who looked limp as if she was about to faint.

"Sir Police, please take me to my family's house. I couldn't take my vehicle there" Aletha said.

"Well, let me take you home to your family's house" the police said.

Then Aletha asked the nurse to call her cousin in her place to handle the patient.

He himself went with the police car to be delivered to his parents' house.

Some of the patients who saw some gossiping, some wondered why Aletha came up to the police car.

Some have stolen the hear and are currently gossiping about the car sinking in Palembang.

Most fileak kusuk if the car rolled over was a stolen car and passengers at that time almost all couples cheating.

"Anwar, please take abi and umi to my parents' house immediately," said Aletha calling her sister-in-law on her way to her parents' house.

"What's up, mbak? I'm at the office, and the shop's time for umi and abi to close if I take them to the parents' house at this hour?" Anwar tried to give an excuse because he actually felt lazy if he had to go to his house.

"Please Anwar, bring abi and umi to my parents' house immediately. I won't ask if there's nothing important" Aletha half-stomped Anwar.

"What the hell is it?" anwar asked again, sounding reluctant.

"If it wasn't for Asrul's death, I wouldn't have asked you to come to my parents' house" Aletha said as she hung up.

Anwar was surprised to hear the last words his brother-in-law had just said.

Between trust and disbelief, then he asked permission to go home to his superiors because he got the news because his brother died.

After that Anwar immediately jumped on his motorcycle and drove it quickly to his parents' house.

"Pig...Umi...toko is closing right now, and come with me. Where's the car keys?" anwar asked when he arrived at his parents' house and immediately looked for the car keys.

"Raya, I'll pick you up in the office soon. Hurry up and ask your boss for permission, and tell him that a family has died" Anwar said quickly and briefly to his wife over the phone.

His wife Anwar is of course confused, not knowing who died but asked her husband to immediately get permission to his superiors like that.

After finding the keys to his father's car, Anwar immediately closed the shop. Of course some customers nagged including his parents, but Anwar did not care, he continued to close the store.

"You why the hell? come here directly to act like a possessed person," Mr. Hasan was upset with Anwar.

"Abi, Umi, please listen to me and now get in the car. Later I explained on the trip," said Anwar, asking his parents to immediately get into his father's old car.

"Raya, I'm close to your office. Hurry you to the front of the office, I'm waiting right away," Anwar called his wife in a hurry to make his wife hesitate not to be given a chance to ask.

With a sullen face, Raya was seen coming out of the office of a Cooperative and immediately climbed into a car in which there were already her two in-laws.

"Mas, what's the matter?" tanya greeting while kissing the back of her two-in-law's hands.

"Yes, from earlier abi and Umi asked also unanswered, instead your husband closed the store and forced some customers to leave the store immediately," Umi Hasan also became upset with Anwar's behavior earlier.

"We are going to the family home of Mr. Edmun Nayoan, earlier Ma'am Aletha called me and said that Bang Asrul died," said Anwar with lips shaking while driving a car.

"Astagfirullah, O Allah, what do you mean say that?" Abi Hasan was shocked to hear Anwar's words.

"I don't understand either, so I want to know now. Ma'am Aletha just said that on the phone," said Anwar as he wiped his tears.

Umi Hasan cried in the arms of Raya, both of them could not say anything but cry because they did not believe the statement.

Before long they arrived at the home of the Edmun Nayoan family, there was a police car and also there were several relatives of the Nayoan family seen gathered inside the house.

Abi Hasan got out of the car and stepped into the house, greeted by crying by Aletha and Edwin his granddaughter.

Likewise, when Umi Hasan was swept by Anwar and Raya, so entered directly embraced by Aletha while crying.

Abi Hasan asked for another explanation for what really happened, then the police explained everything again while showing the map containing photos and identification of Asrul his son.

Tears poured down the cheeks of Hasan's family, never to be surprised that Asrul would leave them forever.

"That means that Asrul is ungodly, he cheated until he had an illegitimate child. Hence died like that," a rude remark came from the mouth of one of the relatives of the Nayoan family.

"Yes, that's right. He lied to Aletha and the extended family all this time" said the others.

The bad words about Asrul echoed throughout the rooms of the Nayoan family home.

"DIAAMM!!!! ALL QUIET!!!NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO JUDGE MY HUSBAND. ONLY I KNOW WHO MY HUSBAND IS!!!".

The screams of Aletha who could no longer bear to hear the dirty words from here and there about her husband.

All the relatives fell silent, and the one who had been gossiping immediately left the room.

"Anwar, accompany me to Palembang. I don't accept being treated unfairly by Jena's family. I must seek the truth of what has happened, lest there be slander on my husband who is gone" Aletha told Anwar.

Then the nuclear family negotiated with each other, the night will be held tahlilan for Asrul.

And later after seven days, there will be preparation Aletha and Anwar and his wife to leave for the city of Palembang.
