CHAPTER 48
Ending
About five hours they were there, even the river had been traced to the end but, the results were nil. They found no sign of Hamid or Aulia.
The search stopped for a few hours, and will resume later at one noon. Both the Putra family and the Gilang family returned to their homes and will return later at noon to the scene.
Cici's tears just kept coming out of her beautiful eyes. He did not expect to lose the little princess and her eldest son so soon.
Along the way to their parked car, Cici did not stop from crying. Lathifah and Karim, who saw the situation, were made more guilty of what happened to the twin and their little girl.
"Mother, don't cry anymore huh? ifa ngak strongly see Mother crying continues," said Lathifah who also shed her tears.
Cici wiped away the tears that soaked the two smooth cheeks of the princess. "Hmm, yes dear, mother will not cry again really," Smile Cici who wiped the tears that had wet her cheeks.
They all get into the car, and the son drives the car with his mind fixed on his two children. There is guilt that the Son also feels to his baby. Well, I guess it's just the Son who knows.
Putra's car broke up a wide road that contained many cars and two-wheeled vehicles that passed beside Putra's car.
They do not go home, because if they go home, then they will not arrive on time to the location. They prefer to go to a place not far from that location.
Now that the clock on the Son's wrist had shown at half-one in the afternoon, they all got back into the car, and returned to the scene.
There were already police who had just climbed from under the river to the highway.
"Sir, what about our son? Have they been found?" ask the son with a very sad face.
"Sorry, sir, it is likely that your son has been found by local residents or maybe your son drifted very far from this river, because at the end of this river there are two directions of river flow of the same magnitude, and we have been trying to find your baby to the end of the river," obviously the policeman with a convincing face.
"No sir, my son can definitely be found!" kekeh Cici with a loud voice and pressed down on her every utterance.
"Sorry Buk, we've tried our best. But we didn't find him" explained another policeman with a sad look on his face.
"Mas, this isn't real, is it, Mas?" cici said while hugging her Husband tightly with tears.
The son stroked Cici's back gently. He did not want to show his sadness to his wife. Although in the eyes of the Son does not cry, but know in his heart he is very doubtful and hit with all this.
"Dear, we go home now?" bring the Son gently.
"No! I'm sure Aulia's the same Hamid is alive!" cici said with a cry that still accompanied her at this time.
"Honey, don't cry? We better go home and pray to the Power," invite the Son who tried to get his wife into his car.
All the police who were there also returned home. The search was no longer continued, because the river had been traced. And if they're going to walk down the river at the bottom of it, it's definitely not going to be found. The bottom flow is very long even that part will get to other areas.
Within three hours, the Son and his family had arrived at their residence. The sadness was still on Cici's beautiful face, as well as others.
If it can be counted, not only this is the test they have undergone. Starting from Cici pregnant the first child to give birth to Aulia, there has been a lot of suffering that they experienced.
But know that the plan of the Power is more beautiful. We only as His people can accept it with sincerity. And what if we sincerely believe that God still has the most beautiful plan for us.
One week has passed. Putra's family has also asked the police to seek the whereabouts of their children. But the result remains the same. They found no trace of Aulia or Hamid.
They could all only pray for his every prostration to the Divine. Unceasingly the once harmonious family asks the Power for their son to survive the accident.
Every breakfast, the dishes on the table were not touched in the slightest by all of them. The sense of loss makes this harmonious family incomplete, because of the absence of two of their children.
The little princess who always interrupted their romantic moments, is now no more. It may never be there again until anytime. That's what both the Son and Cici are thinking right now. Who knows the destiny of God.
Now time is passing, and it is not felt that two weeks more the whereabouts of Hamid and Aulia are unknown. The despair of the Son's family to seek the whereabouts of their baby is over. They even thought that their two children had gone to their real home.
A couple who were very old were watching the faces of a couple who were lying in their hut. They didn't know where to take these two kids. Taken to the hospital? The money to pay for the child's treatment they don't have the slightest. Let alone that, to eat everyday they do not have. Sometimes they eat once or twice a day. That is the life they live with sincerity.
Getting a bite of rice they are already very grateful for the favor of God. Even if they are looking for work, no one will accept them. Because of their very old condition.
They had been married for decades, but God had not given them trust. What makes the couple's two faces happy is when they find these two children who are lying on the riverbank while they are looking for food there. Because on the banks of the river they get food either in the form of leftovers of other people's food or fruits that fall from the tree.
Every day this couple always went to the river to wait for food that was washed away by people. They were willing to stay in the river until midnight.
"Sir, why aren't they conscious yet?" ask the wife of the father.
"That's Buk, I don't know when they'll be conscious either" replied the father, with his face fixed on the pair of longitudinal children.
The next second a little girl opened her eyes and slowly sat down with an extremely weak body.
"Where is Lia? Why in this place?" asked Aulia who was already conscious of her stupor. Yes, the girl who was helped by a married couple is Aulia daughter of Cici and Son.
"Alhamdulillah son, you are aware," said Siti with a happy face. Yes, the mother's name is Siti
"Yes ma'am, thank God" answered her husband with a smile of happiness.
"Why grandmother? Why is Lia here?" aulia asked with a look of curious face and fear that haunted her mind.
"The week la-"
"Arghh," Hamid's ringing, who had begun to come to his senses, and the mother did not continue her speech.
The two children who were stretched out were the two Cici children who were saved by this old husband and wife. With great difficulty they took these two children to his hut two weeks ago with great difficulty.
Siti observed Hamid who had begun to wake up from his stupor. His eyes were unceasingly looking at the handsome face of the man before him.
"Son, let's get up!" Siti.
Hamid looked at the three people who were nearby at this moment. Hamid looked at them in turn.
"Abang, Lia scared in here?" said Aulia who immediately hugged Hamid's body very tightly.
Hamid struggled to sit up from his sleep. "Lia don't be afraid? Here there is still a brother who will accompany, Lia," said Hamid who returned the embrace of his little girl.
"I'm sorry, Grandma who's Grandpa?" hamid asked with a curious face.
"We own this shack, son. We found you a few days ago in the river" explained the grandmother subtly.
Hamid recalled what happened a few days ago, and finally he remembered why he had arrived at the river and was in this hut.
Hamid felt very grateful because God still gave them the opportunity to live with the help of Grandma and Grandpa. If there are none of them, there is no where they are at the moment.
"When are we going home?" aulia asked with a trembling voice.
"Dear, we're going home" Hamid replied with a smile.
Hamid looked back at the face of the person who had saved him and the little girl in turn. Hamid looked at the faces of the two with a gaze that could not be shot.
"Sir, Mother, thank you, we are, we are" said Hamid who kissed the hand of the husband and wife alternately. There was no disgust that Hamid had when he kissed their hands. Although some people will feel disgusted when they want to kiss the hands of unknown people in the least.
"Yes son, equally," Grandma and Grandpa smiled sincerely.
It has been almost an hour Hamid told a story with his grandmother and her husband. Whether it's about their lives or anything else. Siti happily answered all the questions that Hamid had asked her.
Cici was sitting on the bed hugging the family photo.
"Son, I'm sure you're still alive!" Cici's tears that had begun to wet the picture frame he held and occasionally kissed the photo were long.
Hamid and Lathifah who crossed the mother's room, immediately entered because they saw Cici crying while hugging the photo tightly.
"Bun, please take Brother and Adek yes, Bun. If they see Mommy crying they must be very sad," said Lathifah who had sat on the bed of the mother along with Karim.
Karim helps remove the tears that have poured on the beautiful face of the mother. "Udah Bun, please let them go" Karim said with a smile and a nod from Cici.
*
Two days have passed, Hamid and Aulia will go to their house and bring a couple who saved them two weeks ago.
Now they're walking down the highway. With great difficulty, they finally arrived at a destination that was none other than a highway.
Hamid stopped one of the taxis that passed in front of him. They all happily took the taxi to the place they were going.
Hamid mentioned the address of the father's house. The driver followed only what his passengers asked for.
Four hours more they were on the way to Putra's house because, the road is very jammed with four-wheeled vehicles and two wheels.
The taxi stopped in the courtyard of the magnificent house. Hamid told the taxi driver to wait because Hamid did not have the money to pay him, and the driver just nodded his head to tell him he agreed.
Tok ... tok ....
There were loud footsteps coming from the house to the door.
Clamps...
The door of the house was opened by a woman who was rather old aka the maid from this house.
"D-den" said the maid in disbelief and ran into the house to call her master over what she now saw.
The next few minutes came Cici and her husband and son. How shocked Cici and the others were to see who was before him at this moment.
"Mother, Lia kangen cama Bunda," said Aulia who ran from the direction of the taxi with a face of sumringah.
Cici happily hugged the little girl whom she missed so much these days.
Cici kissed every corner of her little girl's smooth face. Aulia also did the same thing with what her mother had done to her.
"Honey, this is really you guys, right?" cici asked convincingly, and Hamid replied with a nod of his head.
Next Cici turned to look at a couple who were behind Hamid alternately. There was a curious look on the faces of Cici and the others.
"Who are they, honey?" tanya Cici opened the conversation.
"Oh yeah Bun, this Grandma and Grandpa who saved us two weeks ago, and therefore we brought them here and stayed with us. Can you, Mother, Father?" hamid said with a smile and was replied by a nod by the Son and Cici.
The taxi driver in Putra's yard was honking his car and it made Hamid realise something. The son who seemed to know about it immediately walked towards the taxi and gave money to the driver with a smile.
They all went inside the house and sat in the living room telling stories. The joyous spirit has again adorned the face of this happy family. With the help of the husband and wife, their family returned to the same as before.
The three twins were back together and felt the warmth of brotherly love between them, and coupled with the little girl who always prank the three brothers.
Who knows our destiny, right? We as creatures of God can only live the scenario that is destined for each of us with sincerity, and eight chests.
