Siti was flabbergasted and crying, when she saw her house that had been flat with the ground and left only the debris that had become charcoal. While Batra tried to support the body of Siti who almost fell. Both Siti children cried when they saw their grandparents' house that had been burned down and given a yellow police line.
Suddenly a woman approached Siti and hugged her. He is the Niar bundo who has been waiting for Siti's presence there. Bundo Niar deliberately waited after he got the news, if Siti was on her way to her hometown.
"Ti, patience, Ti.." Niar said bundo, deliberately continued to embrace Siti who was struggling and crying.
"Kok can tabaka ambo bundo house?" Tanya Siti, in between her sobs.
"It is God's destiny, Ti. Patience son.." Bundo Niar continues to try to spread Siti.
"What are you doing now bundo? How can I like tabaka?"
"Are you, still in the sorcery house. Ready at the autopsy nyo's body," replied Bundo Niar.
"Keep the rampage now on dima, bundo?" Ask Siti again.
"Make you at the bundo house. We sadonyo are waiting for your musty body, "Light bundo Niar.
"Oh Allah, amakkk.." Siti kept crying. While the bundo Niar began to lead Siti to rest in her home.
While Siti and the children were taken to the Niar bundo house, Batra was only silent in front of the house which now left charcoal-shaped debris. Both of his eyes looked teary. Batra remembers very well the first time he came to the house to propose to Siti. Then his memory moved to the time he lived in the house. Although uncomfortable living in the house of in-laws, but there engraved fond memories with people he greatly admired. Father Dahlan, father of Siti who has now passed away.
"May Husnul khatimah and receive all his deeds and deeds. Aamiin," Inner Batra. Then with gontai, he turned around and followed Siti who was now in the house of Niar bundo.
.
"Amaki..!" Siti exclaimed, when she saw the Halimah bundo lying in the living room of the Niar bundo house.
Bundo Halimah turned her head and hurried to sit down to welcome the presence of Siti.
"Siti...!" Halimah's bundo cried, stretching out both hands as he welcomed the squandering siti into his arms.
"O Allah, ma'am, astaghfirullah.. Oh God.." Siti could not speak anymore. He looks so devastated when he sees the Halimah bundo who is now hitching a ride at the Niar bundo house.
"Grandma!" Calls the Siti children.
"Ambo's grandson.." Bundo Halimah welcomed her two grandchildren with tears.
"Assalamu'alaikum,"
"Waalaikumsalam" answered all who were there.
Bundo Halimah glanced at Batra, then he started acting as if Batra was not in front of him.
Batra began to greet one by one people who were there. After that, he went to Halimah bundo and gathered in front of the middle-aged woman.
"Bundo, I'm devastated by your father's departure. Bundo's okay, right?" Ask Batra.
But that's not the answer Batra got. It is precisely the bundo Halimah pretends not to hear the condolences of Batra.
A few moments, the awkward atmosphere witnessed by many people passed by, after the sound of an ambulance that stopped in front of Niar's bundo house. Realizing he was not considered, Batra also moved from his seat and rushed to welcome the body of father Dahlan who would be removed from the ambulance.
"Dahlan's family?" Ask a policeman.
"Yes, I'm his son-in-law" Batra said.
"This is the result of Dahlan's examination. He was pronounced dead of a heart attack. And chronologically, it looks like Mr. Dahlan was warming up his gulai when he had a heart attack. But because Dahlan's father had died at that time, then there was a fire in the house of Dahlan's father," the police explained.
Batra sighed deeply and nodded in understanding at the results of the autopsy.
"Alright sir, then, there's no crime here. I declare that this incident was purely an accident. Now please sign this handover letter and also the autopsy result." Pinta the policeman, while handing over a ballpoint to Batra.
With trembling hands, Batra grabbed the ballpoint and began to sign the file. After that, the body of Dahlan's father was declared legal has been handed over to the family. Dahlan's body was removed from the ambulance and placed in the living room of Bundo Niar's house.
The arrival of Dahlan's body, made everyone cry bitterly. Mr. Dahlan is a very good man. Then anyone will greatly lose the figure of Dahlan's father. But the body of Dahlan's father was only buried for a moment there. Because considering the shape of the body and also the time, the family agreed to immediately solicit and also bury the body of Dahlan's father.
Throughout the process in the process of dwelling the body of the father of Dahlan, until buried, only Batra was seen so active in receiving mourners, to also go down into the pit, to welcome and put the body of his father-in-law. But there is less today. That is the absence of Fadli, the eldest son of the father of Dahlan and the bundo Fatimah. It was also only realized after Dahlan's father was buried.
"Yet indak tibo bundo?" Tanya Siti, when they had all just finished performing the Maghrib prayer at the Niar bundo house.
Bundo Halimah only fell silent, as Siti questioned the presence of the child she was very proud of.
But Halimah bundo still silent silent.
"Young you are urang nan pertamo bana in agiah kaba. But..." Bundo Niar stopped his speech.
"But apo bun?" Ask Siti.
"You're dead.."
"That's the uni Niar," Cut the bundle of Halimah.
"Why uda bundo?" Urge Siti.
Bundo Niar was seen reluctant to reveal it, after the Halimah bundo prevented him from speaking.
"Why? Tell Samo Siti!" Urge Siti.
Bundo Niar seemed to be unable to stand it anymore, finally he told the truth to Siti, regardless of the bundo Halimah that had prevented him from speaking.
"You're on your way to Batam. So he can't come" said Bundo Niar.
"Astaghfirulhalazimur....!" Siti seemed to regret the attitude of her siblings.
"Didn't he care? His parents' house burned, his father died, his mother now has no home! Where's uda Fadli's brain!" Siti looks so emotional. While Halimah bundo is only able to bow his face deeply.
"Already, Ti," Batra tried to calm Siti down.
"Here you go, Fadli is in Batam. He's on a family vacation. He has also only been there two days" Halimah said.
"Vacation? What is the importance of holiday bun! Siti's husband is in the classroom tomorrow! He wants to step up! But what is Uda Batra doing? He's coming kasiko! By bundo and musty!" Said Siti with overflowing emotions.
"With uda Batra kasiko, it means he gave up the opportunity. He put Siti's parents first! He prefers to take Siti jo children to arrive at siko with greetings!" Connect with increasingly becoming emotions.
Bundo Halimah was silent.
"Siti, relax. We are in a mourning mood" Batra said, rubbing Siti's back gently.
"There's no brain Fadli!" Say Siti with her emotions. Then he went from the front of the Halimah bundle and entered the guest room that had been provided by the Niar bundle.
While Batra still remained there, along with the bundo Halimah, bundo Niar and also his family. They were silent for a long time, until finally Niar bundo ventured to reveal what was in his heart at this time.
"Son Batra,"
"Yes bun?" Sahut Batra's.
"At this time our family was very open and accepted Halimah's bundo to stay with us. Prihal Siti... hmmm, how good is it?" Ask bundo Niar.
Batra was silent at the question. Deep down, he was also confused about the same question.
"If the house prihal..."
Just now Batra opened his voice, Halimah's bundo immediately cut Batra's speech.
"Ambo is waiting at Fadli's pick-up," said Halimah's bundo.
Bundo Niar took a long breath. Even with Batra who already has a shadow, if Fadli will never want to pick up Halimah bundo. Batra quite understand the attitude and nature of his brother-in-law. Since getting married, Fadli no longer cares about his parents. Then it can be ascertained if the hope of Halimah bundo is only wishful thinking.
"Better bundo follow me and Siti to Jakarta yes.., later if I have sustenance, we wake up again bundo house," said Batra.
"Follow to a rented house?" Ask Bundo Halimah.
Batra was speechless hearing Halimah's bundo speech that seemed to underestimate him.
"Istighfar Halimah," said Niar's bundo, staring at Halimah's bundo with a look of disbelief.
"Yes already. I was here for a week. We will wait for the presence of uda Fadli. If indeed uda Fadli is ready to bring bundo, it's okay. But if not, I will bring a bundle to Jakarta. I want to rest first" Batra said, as he moved from his seat.
All speechless, Batra rushed into the guest room, following Siti who was calming down in the room.
