"Ha... Handoy... .... Handoyo...Handoyo's.." Shouted someone nonstop and still pounding on his room loudly.
"Yes...."Sahut Handoyo with his voice typical wake up. His eyes were still closed and his body was still tired of feeling not enough rest .
"Handoyo.. could there be an important phone.. immediately to the bottom floor.he said from the lampung!" Shouted the man. Handoyo began to realize that the one calling him was Juned who was alternating shifts with him.
Juned is a man who is so seriously employed and often takes overtime to supplement his income. He will soon get married so it requires a lot of funds, he said some time ago.
While Handoyo only overtime if not Saturday and Sunday, because he had to go back to Lampung to see his pregnant wife. Handoyopun similarly had to raise money for the cost of his wife's childbirth.
Handoyo immediately rose from his sleep and set foot towards the 1st floor of his mess hall. Only an important phone from his office was connected to the room. Telephone facilities in the mess can be used together by all residents of the 75 people in the mess. This is to facilitate communication if needed from the office or other urgent needs.
"Hallo.... "Sapa Handoyo who began to wake up . A little worried he felt when Juned said that this was from Lampung. What happened to Lidya? Hope the content is okay.
"Good night, Mr. Handoyo, sorry to interrupt in the middle of the night. I am Dr Zaenal who takes care of my wife and father-in-law here. Can you come to RSUD H Abdul Muluk tomorrow, there is an emergency here, sir, "The voice asked Handoyo to come to the city of Lampung immediately.
"What is doc's emergency?" Handoyo started to get more anxious.
"I need your signature for medical action sir.kalo can tonight also father depart immediately !'
"How's my wife doing, Doc?"
"Later to explain if you have arrived at the hospital.I am waiting for the presence of the Father!"
"All right. I'll be there right away, " Sahut Handoyo with a clean slit.
The phone is closed. Handoyo is confused. What really happened to his family? He did not know who to contact in Lampung to find information.
Rarely do people in the village have a phone. Only the village office, factory owners or other prominent families. But none of them knew them. Breathing out. He must ask permission of his supervisor in the office for work permit and return to lampung.
That same night he went to the office admin room and applied for leave and took some of the salary for the treatment of his family and the cost of the night trip to Lampung with a travel in front of his office it is open 24 hours.

The time shows at 08.15 when Handoyo set foot in front of RSUD H ABDul Muluk. The sun was shining brightly and many people were passing by and on the edge of RSUD there were several food stalls, and there was no hunger in his body.
Fear and anxiety approached when Dr. Zaenal was waiting for him in front of the practice room . The doctor was very friendly and greeted him warmly.
'Well ...Handoyo sir has come... has breakfast sir?" Let's have breakfast together.I've bought food for you.
"Not yet and I don't want to eat. I want to meet my wife... quickly tell me what's wrong with my wife and in-laws? Where's them?"
"Hemm.. alright.I will take you to meet them if you are calm... " The doctor said, pushing a glass of tea for Handoyo who looked exhausted and anxious waiting for her family's information.
Handoyo fell silent and downed the glass of warm sweet tea water until it was gone unceremoniously. "Have...tell me where are they?"
"I'll take you to them but you have to be calm and patient.This is a trial and you have to learn to make love..
"What is this doctor saying? Why should I cut them? " Handoyo was more afraid when he heard the doctor's explanation. What's wrong with his family?
Doctor Zaenal got up from his seat and patted the 23-year-old's shoulder. Without a word Handoyo followed the steps of doctor Zaenal who left his practice room. The doctor stepped slowly so that Handoyo could walk side by side with Zaenal's doctor.
"Sir Handoyo.. whatever happens you must be calm and patient, right now you are being tested. Remember this case is also being handled by the police.so those who will explain it in terms of facts.
"say the doctor clearly.Don't make me more confused..What happened to all of them? What about Lidya and my son, doctor?"
Doctor Zaenal took a slow breath and looked at the young man next to him. "They all died and were victims of a shooting in your house and died on the spot.especially your wife.he plus the burns.and we were forbidden to inform you yesterday, there will be a police officer who will explain specifically to you. ikhlaskan them .. let them calm down there.
Handoyo was stunned to hear the doctor's explanation. His entire body was limp and he was unable to step back in the doctor's footsteps. Shock. Doctor Zaenal turned around and immediately grabbed Handoyo's body and sat him in a long chair in the hospital hallway
"Sir Handoyo....You sit down first. I will sit with you here until you are calm.. "Doctor Zaenal was sitting next to Handoyo and he looked out into the garden beside the passage.
Handoyo was still silent and unable to say anything. His entire family has died and all of them have been victims of the shooting. Is it true that Lidya, the woman he loved so much, had actually abandoned him? Did he really lose his family? It must be just a nightmare.pinched his own chin. sick. This is not a dream.
Handoyo flinched as if gaining a conviction that he had to be brave and see the truth. If it was not him who faced this reality, who could he rely on? He himself was an orphan and there were no relatives because he lived and grew up in an orphanage.
To do school alone he had to accept odd jobs in an army dormitory in the city of Lampung. All this time only Lidya was so attentive and took care of it. She is the best woman in her life and is very attentive to her. The woman loved teaching math and English lessons before her high school graduation test.
Lidya often told him, He should dare to take responsibility for his family if they marry. The lack of employment in the city of Lampung and the reality around it, made him determined to take a job in Cilegon to provide for his family. He must be a strong man and be responsible.
"Doctor. I want to see them!" Handoyo said slowly. I have to look at whatever their situation is. I'm ready to accept whatever happens to them.
"follow me !" Zaenal got up from his seat and Handoyo followed him
