"The brother of Nina, congratulations?" Said the mother midwife congratulating her showing the baby still looking fat white with her melodious crying voice filling the room.
"In the stimulation first, it's the grandpa." Mother said the midwife again put the baby on Nina's stomach. The baby's head was moving around looking for his mother's niple.
Nina's tears were unstoppable again. Gratitude and happiness welcome the birth of his first son with the husband who until now still has not come. It's raining so hard out there. Flush the district of Bantul until afternoon.
"Mas, we're parents now. Come quickly and see your handsome son." Lirih Nina rubbed the baby's body that was still not cleaned.
Grey clouds still lingering in the sky. The rainwater splashes mixed with blood red, wetting the road that is getting denser due to an accident between the motorbike and the tourist bus.
The smell of rancid crackling, the sound of horns rang out, some riders even slowed down the pace of their vehicles and stopped to see what was going on? There are also people who take to the road to condition the location of the accident.
Police cars and ambulances appeared to be parked, not far from Ozan's lifeless body, as medical teams approached on stretchers to transport the victims to nearby hospitals.
It was getting darker the rain was not as intense as before, only irregular stubs were still falling. The sound of thunder sounded earthy in the distance. In the midwife's treatment room, Nina starts to get restless and anxious.
"Oh, Ozan hasn't come yet? It's 8pm."
"Sabar Nina, maybe there's something in his office. Try his mother used to be with your Grandpa, huh?" Her mother-in-law Ana comes out of the treatment room leaving Nina who is learning to breastfeed Zidan.
His son was named Zidan son of Ozna. Ozna itself is a merger of the name Ozan and Nina. Shortly after the in-laws came out of the room, Nina's mother came with her sister Dila.
"Waahh, the mother's grandchild has been born."
"Bun's mom anyway? Grandma is." Dila's protest drew near to her brother.
"Ozan where's Nin?" Ask her mother rubbed Zidan's head that was still nursing it.
"I don't know how, I haven't come yet. I said otewe from noon but kok nyampe-nyampe." Nina replied with an anxious and worried look.
"Maybe the tyre leaked Nin, or shelter first, it was raining earlier." Mother's words gave a positive thought to Nina who was constantly agitated.
"Yes, but how come you didn't tell me?"
"Prophe Nina." Mother said corroborating, "grandmother's grandchild already mimic her? Grandma's cradle huh?"
Gleefully the mother took Zidan from Nina's sling. He kissed her and kissed her many times. Zidan .small squirming in keenness.
"Zidan hasn't been in Azani means yes?"
"Udah Bun was like Ozil."
"Eehh, it was on the street like Ozil, huh Bun? The one we're breathing at the red light." Said Dila to the bundle.
"Yes Nin, I saw that on the street like Ozil, his face was sad too."
"Which way is Bun?"
"Road to town..." Not yet finished Mother spoke, came Ana's mother with an anxious and agitated face.
"Nin, you're patient."
"Why buk? Where's Ozan?"
"Ozzanines.... Ozan... Nin's accident." Nina's mother-in-law's cry with a raucous voice."Ozan Nin's accident. Just want to walk here."
Nina's world stopped spinning. The news that suddenly came made him unable to support his body. Nina's chest was painful, her body was very limp. Nina's face turned pale, and thoughts floated out of nowhere. Nina's breath is hunting.
There was tension on everyone's faces. Mother also looks very surprised and anxious. Moreover, seeing Nina who was getting pale and limp.
"Nina.... The patient son."
The voice that I heard Nina disappeared slowly, and suddenly it all darkened.
***
Nina realized, the smell of wind oil was out in Nina's smell. His eyes were rubbing, his body still felt weak. The gentle massage on her palms and feet made Nina more aware.
She recalled the news that Ozan had been in an accident until her husband never came. Nina was crying, her tears just slid away. Rustling and caving rivers on the cheeks.
"Bun, Nina's already conscious."
"Nina! You are not papa son? The patient yes. We all stand by you. Heemm??" Her mother's soft voice strengthened.
Nina's crying was breaking.
"Where's Ozan buk?" Parau Nina with tears trying to wake up from her sleep.
"Ozan's still in the hospital, Nin."
"Mas Ozan isn't papa buk? Not hurt, right? He's all right, isn't he buk?" Nina asked in a voice that was becoming more and more raucous.
"Yes, Ozan isn't sick boy. He's been calm. Don't you be sad, there's a little Zidan, pity him.. huummm?" Bu Ana stroked Nina's back patiently. Even though he himself was unable to contain his tears.
Nina's cry turned into a long roar that was getting more and more bitter. He knew the meaning of the in-laws who said they were calm and not sick. That means, Ozan her husband is gone. Leaving himself and Zidaan.
The day should be a welcome happiness for the birth of a grandchild who is always in the future. It turned into a roaring cry. Nina who even stitches in the way of her uterus has not been completely dry, still trying hard to bathe the body of the husband.
One man soaked the stiffened body. Followed by his other guy. Ozil helped bathe his brother's body, staring bitterly at the woman who tried hard even though her body continued to shake holding back tears.
Repeatedly Nina rubbed her wet cheeks. Occasionally he gets a gentle swab on his back from the in-laws to be stronger against the body of his husband who is stiffened.
"Sir.." said Ozil while purifying the body of the brother."If not strong mbak Nina in dalem aja nemenin Zidan."
Nina shook her head, "We promised each other Oz would bathe anyone who died first. This is also my time to him." Nina said with a raucous voice that was getting lost because most of them were crying.
Until Ozan finished in the cafeteria, Nina was still faithfully waiting to read the verses of her husband's introduction to sleep in eternity.
Only when Zidan cried for breastfeeding did Nina move from the front of her husband's body. Then come back even with Zidan. Nina also wanted, so that Zidan would know, and felt once at her father's side for a while.
