They were standing guard in front of the house waiting for their mother to come home shopping. But his mother did not come home. The clock has shown at 09:00 p.m. The house around was very dark. They were worried about their mother's condition. Moreover, the sound of lightning that indicates that it will soon rain.

A few minutes later, the lights in the house went out. The house is getting dark.

“Nak you go to the room only, I will wait for your mother here,” said Mr. Darjo.

“Iya Well ready,” replied Reyhan his son.

Reyhan immediately went to his room and closed the door. While his father was guarding in front of the house while looking around his house which was very dark and lonely.

Soon a father came and told him that a robber was wandering around his house. Then Mr. Darjo panicked about it. Moreover, his wife is not at home.

Soon it rained. Mr. Darjo just sat in the front seat while keeping watch. The rain was getting heavier followed by the wind blowing harder. From a distance, someone who wears a black raincoat while carrying something. Mr. Darjo thought that it was the robber. He picked up a knife and hid behind the door. That guy's getting closer. Mr. Darjo is getting ready to attack him. When the person was right in front of the door, Mr. Darjo directly stabbed the person's stomach without making sure first. The man immediately fell in front of Mr. Darjo. Blood flowed heavily in the person's stomach. When Mr. Darjo saw the man's face, Mr. Darjo was surprised that he was his own wife. He did not think he had killed his wife.

Mr. Darjo is crying hysterically. His wife died right in front of him. Mr. Darjo is confused not to know what to do, he does not want his son to know that his mother has died. Mr. Darjo also had the idea to throw his wife's body in the middle of the rice field. Mr. Darjo immediately brought his wife's body to the middle of the rice field while crying as if regretting it.

In the midst of heavy rain, Mr. Darjo put his wife's body in the middle of the rice field just like that. Then he immediately left the place and immediately went home.

When Mr. Darjo was in his room, he regretted having stabbed carelessly without making sure. Mr. Darjo wept over his wife's departure while looking at a picture of them both. Shortly after, Mr. Darjo fell asleep while hugging the photo. Instantly the photo that Mr. Darjo saw earlier, the photo of his wife disappeared so that only the photo of Mr. Darjo alone remained.

The next day, Mr. Darjo when he woke up from sleep, he did not realize that the picture of his wife had disappeared. He immediately went to see his son was sitting staring waiting for his mother who did not come home. Mr. Darjo wanted to explain last night, but he was afraid his son was angry with him.

“Nak, your mother stayed at the grandmother's house,” said Mr. Darjo lied while approaching his son.

“Serious dad?”

“Iya nak.”

“Okay dad, if so I'm ready to go to school first yes.”

“Iya nak.”

Soon Reyhan left for school. Mr. Darjo who is now alone at home, he again remembered the incident last night, he again cried for the departure of his wife. When Mr. Darjo was about to go to his room, Mr. Darjo's back hurt. He felt so tired.

“Aduh why yes my back, usually not like this,” said Mr. Darjo while heading to his room.

While in the room waiting for his son to come home, Mr. Darjo only cried while regretting his actions. When Mr. Darjo saw his picture with his wife, he realized that the picture of his wife did not exist. Mr. Darjo was confused. The clock has shown at 11 o'clock exactly. Reyhan has come home from school. However, Reyhan was delighted when he came home. Mr. Darjo thinks that Reyhan is getting good grades. Mr. Darjo was happy.

A week later, there was news from a farmer that there were bodies of mothers lying in the middle of the rice field. The farmer spread the news to the whole community quickly. In the fields, many villagers gathered. Mr. Darjo who had just returned from work, he immediately headed to the gathered citizens.

“There are many people,” asked Mr. Darjo to one of the residents there.

“Wah Mr. Darjo, I am sorry for the death of my father's wife,” said the resident.

Mr. Darjo, who understood their intentions, immediately met his wife's body and hugged her while crying as if regretting it.

Soon the police came to find out what was really going on. Mr. Darjo immediately went home and was about to tell his son about the truth.

When at home, Mr. Darjo saw his son was playing cars while laughing happily. Mr. Darjo did not have the heart to deliver the news, but there was no other choice. Mr. Darjo also approached Reyhan, his son.
