The Regret of the Wife
Lia Will Give Birth Soon

"Allahu Akbar." The imam gave a cue to the mother to follow her every move.

Lia and Bu Sulastri behind the men also followed every movement of the priest who was performing the funeral prayer. Just carrying out the first takbir suddenly Lia felt someone poking her hand from behind. I don't know who in Lia's heart was curious. However, he returned to remain solemn considering he was performing the prayer at this time.

After completing the funeral prayer. Lia asked Ms Sulastri "Is the mother who just poked Lia's hand?"

"Mom didn't poke Lia's hand." The answer.

Lia was reluctant to ask again because, mother had said no. Then who was it that was poking Lia. He looked back but there was no one behind him. Lia tried to think positively even though she had goosebumps.

After performing the funeral prayer. The Imam then ordered some of the officials to raise the body of Mr. Mamat to be buried immediately. At about eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Mamat's body was finally buried. I promised not to cry anymore. However, the tears were not able to hold. Back again, her tears flooded all over her cheeks. Seeing his wife crying again, Agus tried to calm and comfort his wife with an advice "You, must be strong. I'm always there for you. Lean on me if you are not strong. I'm here to make you rise from this grief. Because I have experienced it too. I know how sad you are right now. However, god's decision is better and you have to believe it." Reveal Agus with sign mode. He rubbed his wife's wet cheeks with both of her thumbs. And gently kissed both eyes.

Agus' treatment of Lia seemed to give strength to toughen up. Lia seemed to feel that the figure of her father was inside her husband. Instantly at that time, although still in a state of sobbing. Lia tried sincerely and God willing she could toughen up. Then pray to the Khalik, "Allah strengthen this heart, strengthen yourself by Your will. God willing, this is the best for you and me."

After the funeral, the event continued with tahlil together at home. The whole family gathers to pray for the late Mr. Mamat.

Long story short, Lia went through his life as in general. Although still do not believe that the figure of the father is no longer beside him. However, he believed it because, he did not find the figure of his father back. He has been gone forever and will never return. Only his memories were eternal in his heart.

Likewise with Ms. Sulastri, the figure of the husband who was always beside her is now gone. His place of love and affection is now gone. Moreover, Ms. Sulastri hung her life to her husband. Now he has to fight alone to meet all the needs of his life. He knows now that nothing else is reliable. As for Lia her child can not be relied upon because, at this time she is pregnant.

Exactly two weeks have passed, around 3 in the morning. Lia's stomach was contracting, it seemed like the time to give birth had arrived. Lia felt her stomach very heartburn. Several times he went to the toilet.

"I don't know suddenly my stomach is heartburn. It hurts so bad." Reveal Lia while stroking her big belly.

"It looks like you're giving birth. Wait for me to call Mamah Ade first." Agus then passed away leaving Lia alone in the room.

Geck...Geck...Geck...

The sound of the door being knocked repeatedly. But no one opened the door. Understandably at such hours in general people are still asleep. Even so, Agus did not give up. He kept knocking on the door even harder. After almost ten times Agus knocked on the door. His efforts turned out to be fruitful. Someone opened the door.

"What's the matter, Gus, this clock is knocking on the door?."Tanya Mamah Ade uses sign language.

" that....Anu's...Lia..." Agus said in panic.

"Sign Agus, you don't understand what you mean. Now explain slowly." His word.

"Lia's stomach hurts. Let's take it to the doctor or midwife." Reveal Agus with sign mode.

"Well, why don't you say daritadi. Let's go now. As far as you know it's a sign she's about to give birth."

"Bak got up, call Abah (The one in question is Mr. Ridwan). Tell Abah, call Mang Henda to bring the car. We need to get to the midwife. Lia's about to give birth." She spoke clearly to her husband.
