The Three Chosen
117. It's not Sandria's fault
Sandria's body was buried the next day. Mama Sandria could not attend her daughter's funeral because she had to undergo intensive care at the Hospital.
Faiq and his family were also present to watch Sandria's funeral. The atmosphere of grief was so thick as Sandria's father cried watching Sandria's body being put in a burrow. Even Papa Sandria almost fell into a pit if his relatives were not able to hold his body.
After the funeral, Sandria returned to the hospital. Faiq and his family followed shortly afterwards. Not without reason Faiq did that. He wanted Sandria's parents to know what Sandria was saying at the end of her life.
Inside the room, Mama Sandria just woke up and cried again. Papa Sandria also seemed to have no more vocabulary to comfort his wife because he himself was in a state of slump and needed comfort.
“ Assalamualaikum..,” greet Faiq while opening the door.
“ Wa aleikumsalam, oh Pak Faiq. Let's go in...,” said papa Sandria while rubbing her wet face with tears with the back of her hand.
“ There are things we must say about Sandria if Father and Mother would like to hear it..,” said Faiq to the point.
Mama Sandria stopped her crying and looked at her husband who was also staring at her. Afterwards papa Sandria nodded her head in agreement with what Faiq and his family would say.
Faiq called his family and they sat facing each other. Then Faiq asked Iyaz to tell him everything that Sandria's late house had told him. Hearing Ayaz's words made Sandria's parents shake their heads. They don't believe what Iyaz said.
“ Ga maybe. Sandria couldn't possibly hurt her sister. Sandria is very dear to Vino. You don't lie to me..!” mama Sandria said loudly.
“ I didn't have any proof when Sandria said it was Auntie. Because Sandria just experienced
accidents. But when Sandria was treated in the room, I had time to record the conversation Kami..,” said Iyaz while listening to the voice recording of his conversation with the late Sandria that he recorded using a mobile phone.
Both of Sandria's parents were crying and listening to the conversation between Iyaz and Sandria. They seem to regret the favoritism they instilled in Sandria and Vino. Too sad they missed something Sandria said.
“ But there is wisdom as well as good news behind this incident Om..,” said Iyaz while staring at the two Sandria parents alternately.
“ What good news..?” ask Papa Sandria not to understand. He thought there might be good news after losing his two children.
“ Sandria said, in Aunt's stomach there is a prospective sister. Now Aunt is pregnant and Sandria does not want to experience the same thing as when Vino was born first. Nomorduakan and dumped like garbage..,” said Iyaz ketus while stepping out of the room.
Hearing the last sentence of Iyaz made both Sandria's parents flinch and lowered their faces in embarrassment. Izar and Hanako followed Iyaz who came out of the room. Faiq, Shera, Erik and Farah remained there.
“ I am a nobody. But I just want you to realize your mistake. Sandria is a victim of your selfishness. He also did not want to be born in difficult circumstances. It's not like him to be born into this world when you're not married. You are wrong for doing what is forbidden by religion. Then why are you punishing Sandria. You're ashamed to take her out to meet your relatives, family and friends just because you don't want them all to know that Sandria was born at your wedding for three months. You put that moral sanction on Sandria who obviously knows nothing. Even with a stand you claim Vino in front of Sandria and everyone as the firstborn. Then what does Sandria mean to you ?. She is also your biological child, your blood is in her body.” Faiq said at length.
The mood was silent for a moment. Both of Sandria's parents looked down on her face deeply as if
recalling their attitude towards Sandria. Even on the last day of Sandria they still asked Sandria to stay away and not want to recognize Sandria as their real child in front of their business partners. It was at this time that Iyaz met Sandria for the first time.
“ In the future, treat your Children fairly. They are the trust of God that you must guard and
account later in acherat. Sorry if I talk too much. Excuse me, Assalamualaikum.” said Faiq while holding Shera's hand and taking her out of the room followed by Erik and Farah.
“ Wa aleikumsalam..,” said to both Sandria's parents with a vibrating voice and a face drenched in tears.
\=====
what they just experienced. Nope. But Izar and Hanako are trying to comfort Iyaz more precisely.
“ Come Children, We go to the next location..!” invite Erik to the spirit.
“ I'm lazy Opa. I didn't come with ya...,” said Iyaz.
“ Ga may, all must follow..!” farah said fiercely as she rounded her eyes towards Iyaz.
Iyaz shuddered and hid behind Izar's body.
“ Isshh, why are you crouching behind me anyway. You know if Oma's gaze is rich in X rays that can penetrate metal and glass. It's free you bumped there..” said Izar annoyed.
Izar's words made everyone laugh. Even Hanako had to hold her stomach so powerless to hold back laughter. While Farah who did not accept with Izar's words immediately threw a punch on Izar's body to make Izar complain of pain.
“ Aduuh, sick Oma. Ampuunn...,” said Izar while trying to kink.
“ Rasain's. Pake said Oma's gaze was as sharp as X rays. That rasain punches Oma. How does it feel, as sharp as a knife or as hard as a rock..?!” farah asked as she continued to chase after Izar who ran away and hid among the parked cars.
Seeing his twin being chased by the oma made even Iyaz unable to hold back a laugh. Then he and Hanako help the Oma chase after Izar.
“ Kok You guys even help Oma anyway.?” Izar Protest.
“ Biarin, it is you who have made Oma upset...,” Hanako said.
“ Here he is Oma...!” iyaz said loudly after successfully subduing Iyaz.
Izar gave up because of exhaustion and had to accept punishment from the oma. A long line of words came from Farah's mouth but none of them were remembered by Izar. That made Farah even more upset.
“ Knows ga..?!” ask Farah fiercely.
“ Yes Oma...,” Izar said while nodding his head.
“ Don't nod to rich woodpecker that you are. The point is you understand ga what punishment should you live..?” farah asked while trying to hold back the laughter.
“ Yes, understand Oma Darling..,” sahut Izar.
“ Uday yuk, We find another place to make ngingetin Izar Ma...,” said Erik while embracing Farah's shoulder and bringing her into the car. As he passed Izar, Erik blinked his eyes as if to code Izar to get into the car immediately.
Faiq and Shera who became loyal viewers since then also seemed to laugh satisfied to see the absurd behavior of his family. After making sure everyone got into the car, Faiq also drove the car to the next tourist spot.
Although Sandria incident had made its own color in their holiday this time, but did not hinder the spirit of Faiq and his family to explore the beauty of the island of Lombok.
