Pain(Tings)
Chapter 28: Zero

Widan Bramantyo Agler is the first grandchild of the first generation Agler couple. He has grown into a man of family pride. Although his parents, Zeron and Agata did not share enough affection with the child, Widan still grew into a child as in general. He was a submissive son and did not rebel, even if it was not to his liking.

Workaholic, due to the demands of her work, is now unable to make Zeron and Agata struggling in dealing with the loss of Widan. It is not entirely wrong if the Adirajada family that they have considered as best friends, blame the negligence of Zeron and Agata in educating Widan. Though usually, Widan always leads a lot of praise and is often recommended as a potential daughter-in-law candidate.

A thousand unfortunate, the title that had been embedded in Widan, now forced to be removed. Agata had lost consciousness two hours ago. Even in his helplessness, he still muttered his son's name. It's eroding Zeron's strength.

"I believe, Widan will definitely be back. He was only already nervous because of his marriage which was only a matter of fingers" advises Aaron who is Zeron's younger brother, Widan's uncle.

In return, Zeron nodded. "I hope so too. He's not a reckless person like you," Zeron joked to cover up the restlessness he saw.

Aaron gave a big smile. He rubbed his neck in the wrong manner. "Udahlah, Brother. That's just the one I used to be. Brother does not know, Bocil is more naughty than I used to be," said Aaron by mentioning one of the names of family members who are the youngest children of the second generation Agler couple.

He often took a long breath. Ripples tired and helpless, clearly visible from the dim twinkle of the eyes. The black basin is getting bigger accompanied by fat loss on his cheeks until it looks more and more thin. Do not forget also the miles of fat that have shrunk from the body since the disappearance of their only child. He sat languidly on a high, fine-brimmed mattress. His eyes also reflected a deep longing.

"I ... can't see her like that, Ma," the child confronts Linda, the mother of Zeron.

Linda embraced the second child gently. He rubbed Zeron's back, as if giving off an insignificant amount of strength. After all, he understood the lara that was plaguing his son and daughter-in-law.

"You are strong, my dear. If you are not strong gini, how will Agata who needs a grip, son," Linda advised, when he saw his son shed tears. "Let Mama try to persuade Agata," he continued.

Zeron nodded in understanding. "Good, Ma. Sorry because all this time Zeron has not been able to be a child as well as a good father," he said regretfully.

"Hushh isn't good at saying that. For this Widan problem, we also do not stay silent, right? Let's wait for the police report" Linda replied.

Zeron says Linda. He looked back at his wife's face from a distance which was very heartbreaking.

"I'll say goodbye first."

"You don't want Agata's samperin first?" ask Linda worriedly.

"alright. But after you get home, you have to samperin Agata and talk to him, okay?"

In response, Zeron nodded his head twice. Without the courage to meet Agata, Zeron leaves his wife to his mother. She hopes that as women and mothers, they can strengthen each other. Moreover, Widan is a boy they both care about.

The grief again enveloped both families. The cries of the Pilu alternately put to each other. Expressions of unrelenting sadness are spread in an effort not to feel alone and erode the least sorrow in the heart. But who can guarantee that the wound will dry out at every step? Will there be a pedestal and a cure in prolonged suffering?

Sita wanted to question the matter, "Time can heal sorrow in the heart." That kind of word, was very classic he heard. Not a few people rejected him. For, for whatever time, the wound will continue to gape wide. Even though it has been healed with time predicted.

Not a single sound was heard, but sobs escaped the mouths of most of the women. Sita is like that too. He was just crying in silence, but his gaze looked blank. The shaking he received on his shoulder the umpteenth time, had just been able to make Sita regain consciousness in a daze.

"W-what?" Her views exchanged with April who was her aunt.

April brings Sita into her arms. In an attempt to channel the power she had, April gently rubbed Sita's back. It was precisely the impact for Sita, until finally her cry had to break again.

"Shhttt, it's okay. He must be okay. Relax, huh?"

Sita shook her head weakly. He was tired of thinking about everything. He just wants to rest. News about him can only drain all the energy Sita has. Even to the point of breaking Sita's defense until finally crying pitifully.

After guiding Trella at that time, the woman with the title of her best friend and cousin, floated a cold war. No, rather shut himself up in silence. Only at nightfall will Trella cry until morning. He felt even more depressed than Sita.

At first, Sita did not understand the cause of Trella mourning in deep sorrow. But after getting a phone call, then Trella talk at least about the whereabouts of Widan. Until, this is where the two families are located. In the hallway of the hospital in front of a practice room. While expecting a miracle for Widan who is in a critical condition.

"He must be fine. He should be fine, right?" said Sita with a soft.

"Yes, he'll be fine" April replied.

This is not what Sita asked for when they managed to find Widan. Not when Widan is being critical and his life is on the verge of destruction!
