She's Not a Widow
DBJ 72'S. Mourned


*******


Lusi was so greedy to spend two bowls of oxtail soup even a drop of sauce was not left. Delano looked surprised at the appetite of Lusi.


"Why see me like that?" Lusi glared in annoyance as he looked at Delano who had not blinked at him eating.


"I'm glad to see you greedy." replied Delano, his hand outstretched caressing Lusi's face. Lusi's face immediately flushed in embarrassment. He smiled while looking down.


"Eat with a lot, so that the fetus is immediately visible." Susi stopped the movement of her hand that would tuck the hairpin in her ear when she heard Delano's words.


"I'm afraid you're disappointed" said Lusi.


Delano smiled gently and stroked Lusi's cheek. "Whatever the outcome will be we will face it together. I wouldn't be disappointed if you weren't pregnant. Every word is a prayer. Then I will always pray for the best for you and for our two sons. "


"Thank you," the corner of Lusi's eyes was wet, her tears flowing looking at Delano's sincerity.


"Don't cry. What I'm doing here is nothing compared to everything you've done for Devan and Davin."


"It turns out I was expecting more, she probably just wanted to return the favor because I've raised her kids. All her sincerity and love may be nothing more than gratitude."


Lusi smiled bitterly. There was pain he felt but not bleeding.


"Let's go home." Luci stood up and welcomed Delano's hand. It felt like Delano's hand was so warm. But Lusi felt empty.

Suryo receives report after report on the progress of the Karisa case. Suryo has also advised Kevin's lawyer Delano that he has prepared other evidence that will incriminate Karisa on his case.


"Mas, I went to mom's room first huh. Since morning I don't seem to be feeling well." Mitha approached Suryo who was busy with his laptop.


Suryo grabbed Mitha's waist and hugged her for a moment. "Wouldn't we just take mom to the hospital?"


"Mas know how mom is? I will definitely refuse for various reasons" Mitha replied grudgingly.


"Try to persuade again. I don't think I'm gonna get sick."


"Yes already. I'll go to mom's room first." Mitha moved and went out to her mother's room. He saw the woman who had given birth lying in peace.


But the closer Mitha's footsteps grew limp. He ran a little to get to his mother's bed. I hope what he sees is not true.


"Mom .. Mom, mom wake up mom. Buk .... !!" Mitha shook her mother's body, she checked the pulse as well as the breath in Laila's nose, but nil. She felt nothing but her mother's cold body temperature.


"Maaz .... Mas Suryo's." Pekik Mitha's. Suryo immediately got up from his position and ran. Lidya whose room was not far from Mitha's mother came out of the room when she heard the voice of her sister-in-law.


"What's wrong, mbak?" Lidya approached Mitha who was roaring near Laila.


DEG!!


Lidya also walked with trembling legs. She guessed something bad had happened to Mitha's mother.


"What's Mitha doing?" Suryo rushed over.


"Mas, mother! mom why aren't you moving?" mitha's voice raucous. He was not prepared to lose his mother.


Suryo held Mitha for a moment. Then he approached Laila's bed and checked what Mitha had done. Suryo's heart beat was getting worse when he did not find a pulse and exhale from his mother-in-law.


Suryo looked at Mitha and Lidya then he shook his head weakly.


"Ga mas, I can't go." Mitha hugged her mother's body and cried. His wail was so heartbreaking to anyone who heard it.


"Mas, please help me. I still need mom here." Suryo just held Mitha who was hysterical.


"Don't be like this, pity me."


"But, I still need mom."


"Patient to me. Mitha's mother had calmed down there," Lidya was unable to stem her tears. Mitha was still sobbing but she was silent and no longer hysterical.


"Lusi .. please tell Lusi mas." said Mitha. Mitha still sobbed while hugging her mother's body.


"Sorry Mitha ma'am, Mitha is going to give me. I can see you now." Mitha continued to speak for herself as if her mother could still hear what she was saying. Lidya continued to rub Mitha's back. Suryo called Delano.

As he was about to get into the car, Delano's phone rang. Due to the name of the in-laws who appeared, Delano chose to press the loudspeaker.


"Hello yeah, what's up?"


"Lano, please bring Susi back here soon!" Delano immediately ordered Harlan to head to the Syailendra mansion.


Lusi's face suddenly paled. "Is there something going on, Dad? is mom okay?" Luci immediately replied.


Suryo was surprised to hear his daughter's voice. "Lusts... "


"Dad, tell me what's wrong? did something happen?"


"Lusi, baby. You better calm down." Delano.


"How can I calm down. What's the matter?" Lusi's voice sounded raucous.


"Lusi, Laila's grandmother is home." Suryo's voice was like the thump of thunder that boomed in Lusi's ear. After hearing the news, Lusi did not immediately cry. But he just fell silent and looked down.


Suryo turned off his connection when he heard Lidya's scream. While in the car Delano was also panicked when suddenly Lusi's body collapsed unconscious.


The atmosphere of deep mourning was felt at the Syailendra residence. A yellow flag is placed in front of the gate. Lusi was taken to his room. He's still unconscious. Infusion hose stuck in his veins.


Many relatives were present. Diana especially, she was currently accompanying Mitha who was still very hard hit with the departure of her mother. Lidya could not accompany her sister-in-law because she had to look after Ratih who also looked very lost. Although they had just met, Ratih was very fond of Laila's gentle and well-mannered attitude. If only he had not been high hearted of course at this time he has many memories with his iron.


Devan and Davin sit on Delano's lap. Suryo, Regan and some relatives sit around Laila's body.


"Ikhlas Mitha, all just a deposit. There comes a time when they will return to their owners."


"I'll try Di, it's not easy. Mom was still joking with me after lunch." Lirih Mitha, her eyes looked blank. Diana also felt haru, especially she still remembers well when she lost her husband first. She is sad and devastated but prayer must be strong for the sake of her children. If he dissolves into grief what about his son and daughter.


Lisa and Bu Yuyun had just arrived. After offering her condolences to Lusi's mother, Lisa is immediately taken aboard by Regan to Lusi's room.


"Please accompany Lusi, he is in desperate need of your support right now."


"Give it to me." Lisa smiled weakly, she also felt the sadness that Lusi felt. Regan momentarily kissed Lisa's forehead.


"Thank you."
