Last Letter to Mom
The tense feeling


Nisa and her family are forced to abort and blind themselves. They came to the house of Haji Zenal for excuses. Coincidentally when his wife died Haji Zenal they had not had time to come because Nisa reason in the hospital.


"Assalamu'alaikum." Jeng Reni knocked on the door of Haji Zenal's quiet house.


"Are they home?" Ask the husband to look at his wife.


"We try to pa. Mama doesn't know either." Replied Jeng Reni held back the shame of having to force himself to come to his iron house for the survival of his son.


Greetings and beats were repeated rather loudly from the beginning to ensure the native that in front of his house there are guests.


Bi Inah was struggling to walk quickly but still her steps were held back because of her thick weight, so she could not be faster than ordinary people.


"Getishalight." Said bi Inah answering his greetings while opening the door.


"Eh. ma'am. sir. neng Nisa.. Please enter!" Bi Inah let them into the house. The one who owns the house does not tell him.


"Please sit down, ma'am... " Say Bi Inah seramah may welcome guests as well as besan the employer.


"Thank you bi." Said Jeng Reni sitting on the living room sofa followed by her husband as well as Nisa.


"Haji sir has a bi?" Jeng Reni asked directly to bi Inah.


"There was. I call for a moment. Mr. Haji was praying dhuha, maybe now it's done." Say bi Inah because the new time shows at 9 am.


"Oh." Jeng Reni said with a smile. He felt relieved when the intended person was at home. Because since the death of his wife, Pak Haji still lives at home and rarely goes to work, namely his managed furniture business.


"I'll call you back now." Bi Inah passed and walked closer to the mushola.


Seen pak Haji is doing wirid, the sign of his prayer is finished.


"Assalamu'alaikum pak haji." Say it slowly.


"Getishalight." Pak Haji turned his body turned to look at bi Inah.


"In front there are guests who want to meet the Hajj sir." Say bi Inah while sitting equalizing with Pak Haji.


"Who?" Pak Haji slightly frowned and stopped himself.


"Family besan pak Haji." Reply bi Inah told Pak Haji Zenal.


Pak Haji Zenal.


"Farhan is in his room?" Ask Mr. Haji to ask bi Inah.


"There was. He had breakfast, he said he wanted to go to the immigration office. Probably still in his room to get ready to go." Bi Inah who had prepared breakfast for Farhan told Haji Zenal.


"Call him down!" Pak Haji sent bi Inah.


"Oh guys. She's gone yet?" Ask Mr. Haji back to bi Inah.


"Yes, call Farhan and prepare food to treat the guests." Said Haji sir who looked a bit limp. He suspects the besi will talk about the marriage of his second son.


Pak Haji Zenal also rose from his seat leaving the prayer mat he had been sitting on to meet guests, namely his iron.


"Assalamu'alaikum." Pak Haji Zenal greeted his besi by saying hello.


"Waalaikumsalam pak Hajj.. " His father Nisa immediately shook hands and hugged the iron tightly. The besan broke his embrace but his hand was still tightly grasping the hand of the Hajj sir.


"I'm sorry Hajj sir. We're just doing it now." Said Nisa's father to recite sungakawa for the death of Haji Zenal's mother.


"It's okay. Please sit!" Mr. Haji invited back to sit his besi.


Shortly thereafter bi Inah came to serve four tea cups and light cakes on the table.


"Please drink!" said Mr. Haji Zenal allows his guests to taste the treats that have just bi Inah tata.


"Thank you." They also simultaneously took an ornamental glass containing sweet tea and sipped it as a tribute to the native. Then they put it back on the table.


"I'm sorry I haven't seen Nisa who's sick. It just so happened that the time was at the same time as my wife's passing." Haj Haji Zenal.


"Gak pa-pa Haji. Waiting for Nisa to be healthy first. There's something we want to talk about the kids." Said Jeng Reni trying to arrange as polite as possible so that the iron can be impressed.


"Yes. Hope Nisa stays healthy.. " Say Mr. Haji with a smile.


"Aamiin's." They were compact together to say aamiin for the prayer of the Hajj sir who had just been said.


"We also first apologize if there is anything wrong with Hajj. And we and our family pray, may the worship charity of the Hajj at Allah Subahana walaala, forgiven his sins and his family can be steadfast in facing this test." Nisa's father said a condolence prayer for Haji Zenal.


"Aamiin. thank you sir besan for his prayers. We also did not escape the mistake, if there is a caliph and wrong of the hajj please forgive anyway." Answer Haji while glazed. There is no denying the sadness is still in the old man who has now been left half his life. Pak Haji who has been a role model of his family is also a good husband, so feel lost over the death of his wife who is also no less good.


"God willing, Hajj sir." Answer her father Nisa nods to grieve over the death of a new woman this week.


"Assalamu'alaikum." Farhan came to the living room while saying his greetings.


"Getishalight." Answer them in unison. All eyes were on Farhan.


Farhan then saluted Nisa's parents as a tribute. Inadvertently the two pairs of eyes collide between Nisa and Farhan, then Farhan immediately throw away the view that is now not entitled to see Nisa as his ex-wife.


"Sit down!" Mr. Haji Zenal patted the sofa beside him which was still empty. Farhan said he landed his butt on the sofa next to Haji.


The room while silent. Waiting for each other who will start the conversation after the two men finished chatting.


Jeng Reni turned to her husband, hinting at her husband to start talking.


"Sorry Mr. Haji. nak Farhan... If our arrival interferes with your time. We... actually came here to commit adultery and wanted to talk about you two." Her father Nisa paused the conversation and took a deep breath to calm himself continuing his purpose of coming to the house.


Everyone in the room looked serious. Each of them was completely afflicted with the same sense of deg-deg.
