MY UNCLE MY HUSBAND

Four days have passed since the death of Mr. Arga and Mrs. Aisyah. Ardan only comes back at night. He always misses the tahlil at home. Therefore, he again became the talk of the town. Likewise, Aruna's absence at home, who only appeared occasionally to arrange for a change of clothes while she was in the hospital, waiting for her two younger twin siblings. Because of all these things, Gavin was the only one left at home to take care of all the needs during the mourning.

''Cing, This isn't true... Ardan, he won't be able to take care of it," said Tono, one of Ardan's cousins.

"What do you mean?" asked Grandma Halimah with an annoyed expression when she saw one of her nieces being impolite for raising her voice at someone who was clearly much older than her.

''He hasn't been to the tahlilan event for four nights. This tahlilan is for his older brother... There are only two brothers, that's all that's left of the tahlil, but he still doesn't care," replied Tono in a tone that clearly showed that he was annoyed.

"Uncle Ardan has something to do with..." said Gavin, keeping his voice low.

He was annoyed, but because he was much younger, he tried to remain polite to his relatives who were much older than him.

''What business is it?!'' Rustam shouted, ''Unemployed but pretending to be very busy...'' he added with a very annoying sneer.

''How did you know that Uncle Ardan was unemployed?!'' Gavin asked with an annoyed face.

Gavin's young blood was boiling, he tried to hold back his emotions but it was difficult amidst the onslaught of words that hit his feelings.

"Well... Vin, you've seen a lot of people... Uncle, you're just wandering around incoherently," Rustam answered back, his voice starting to rise. He didn't like seeing Gavin's expression, which seemed to be challenging him.

"Yeah... I also saw him hanging out with thugs in Tanjung Priok," said Tono again, confirming Rustam's words.

"Just maybe he works there," said Gavin loudly, not wanting to be outdone.

"What work?" said Minan, "He's just a thug there," added Minan. He is one of Gavin's cousins. Rustam's son also responded curtly.

''Bro... There's no proof yet, don't just say anything!'' Gavin shouted back in annoyance.

"Vin, I know he's your uncle, your father's little brother... But that's not how you defend him," said Marta, joining in the conversation, he was Minan's younger brother. ''Many have seen your uncle's behavior... Sometimes in Tanjung Priok, sometimes in Senen, sometimes in Bantar Gebang...''

''That's right. Gavin, you hear me...'' said Tono in response, ''We have good intentions for you and for your little brothers and sisters who are in the hospital. Don't trust Ardan too much!"

''It's no longer only one or two people... Many eyes have seen your uncle's behavior. He always gathers with people who are quite annoying. What else do you need proof?" asked Rustam, joining in confirming the statement of Tono and the others.

"Still, it's all unclear..." said Gavin, still firmly defending his uncle.

''Gavin, you have to remember, there are two babies you have to take care of! "I'm afraid, then... Your father's property will be criticized by Ardan," said Rustam, again confirming his opinion.

''Cang, don't think badly like that! Uncle Ardan isn't like that," cried Gavin, still not wanting to lose, he was still trying to defend his uncle even though he was the only one among all of them who was skeptical of Ardan.

''Gavin... You're still a kid,'' said Grandpa Marwan, he was the oldest among all those gathered there. ''You have to listen to what your parents are saying, we all mean well. Don't just keep trying to refute everything we say! You have to listen to all of us! Then you think carefully about what we're saying. It is not all for other people, but for you, for your younger siblings too..."

Grandpa Marwan spoke with a firm expression, emphasizing his authority. He is the oldest brother of Gavin's grandfather.

"It's true, Gavin... it's not easy to take care of two twins... just one, it's already stressful, here are two..." said Grandma Sundari, Grandpa Marwan's wife.

"That's true, Vin. Your little boy won't be able to... I don't have small children anymore. So your little siblings, I will take care of them. But, you know... my husband's salary is not much. Give me one or two doors, from your father's rented house, to buy diapers and milk...'' said Sarna's grandmother. She is one of the distant relatives who is still in the same family as Ardan's grandfather.

''You won't have a problem taking care of both of them, leave it alone, I'll take care of one. The important thing is there is a share of milk and diapers. I need income like Uwak did...'' said Demi, one of Ardan's cousins, Rustam's daughter.

''Vin, if not, let me take care of it. "I'm still young... I still have full energy," said Carnih, Demi's younger cousin. She was still young, still in her early twenties.

''Hei, you, Carnih! You're still a kid, you don't have any experience," said Demi, annoyed.

''Teh Demi, you're already old, are you really strong enough to carry a child?! I am still young and just got married yesterday, but I have a mother. She can teach me later," said Carnih, replying and even making a sarcasm of Demi.

''Demi, Carnih is right, I can help teach Carnih to take care of the twin babies... just relax... Gavin, your twin sibling, we will take care of them," said Elis, chiming in. She spoke up in defense of her eldest child.

Gavriel's emotions had been provoked from the start because they were badmouthing his uncle right in front of him and now they were fighting over each other for rations. It made Gavin even angrier because whatever he said was ignored by the elders, or his other relatives, who apparently only wanted the property of his recently deceased father, behind their advice and words of sympathy. Gavin was only nineteen years old, he had just finished his high school final exams, but that didn't mean he didn't know anything.

''Enough! What do you want to make a fuss about? The twins' affairs, Aruna is there to take care of..." said Gavin, mediating the conversation which was getting even more chaotic between the cousins.

ARUNA!

In unison, they all answered Gavin in surprise and annoyance. Gavin's uncles, aunts and cousins. They were all shocked by the answer just now, there was a look of anger in some of them. They glanced at each other, those who had previously been talking loudly here and there, now suddenly used sign language.

''What's wrong?!'' Gavin exclaimed loudly and firmly, he reiterated his words, ''The matter of looking after the twins has been mandated by the father from the start... Father has warned that Aruna will be the one to look after them. ''

Gavin was quite annoyed to see the looks that were starting to look condescending, and he knew who it was directed at. Of course, his half-sister, Aruna Hashifa, officially became his younger sibling four years ago.

''Gavin, your father was in bad condition at that time...''

Rustam immediately paused his words, he had been very vocal earlier. But, still, he is also a human who still has feelings. He didn't feel comfortable saying straight out that at that time Gavin's father was dying.

''Cang! Father may have been dying at that time, but he made the right decision, according to me."

Gavin immediately answered, confirming what Rustam had not said out loud.

''Gavin, what is this all about, Aruna and you are still kids?!'' Demi exclaimed in a curt tone.

"Not only is she still a child, she's just a half-sister to you..." said Kartiah, joining in with Demi, with quite a scary expression, with bulging eyes.

"But, she still has the same mother as the twins!" said Gavin, answering the two of them.

''Father's blood ties are stronger,'' said Kartiah loudly, cornering Gavin.

Just like the others, he also strongly disagreed with the existence of Aruna, who had no kinship with them, especially after the death of Mr. Arga, her stepfather.

''Gavin knows. That's why Gavin is also guarding them..." said Gavin curtly. He was starting to be unable to control his emotions, which were starting to become clear from his behavior.

"But you...," said Kartiah, trying to reply, but was immediately cut off, "QUIET!" shouted Grandpa Wawan, standing up straight, after all this time just watching their argument in silence, "There's no place for the fuss! Arga's grave is still wet. What are you making a fuss about?! Stop, all of you go back home now!" added Grandpa Wawan with an angry expression, scolding them all.

He was annoyed to see everyone pushing Gavin into a corner, while he was still in a state of mourning now. He was also sad to see that his wife felt hurt. Mr. Arga had just died, and the tahlil event had not even been reached for seven days, but they had all started to look at his inheritance, even though Gavin and the twins were still the legal heirs to the property.

They all looked down when they heard Grandpa Wawan yell with an angry expression. Only Grandpa Marwan and Grandma Sundari looked at Grandpa Wawan. They were annoyed because they felt that they were both older than him, but it seemed as if they were being insulted by Grandpa Wawan's words.

Marwan is the oldest of three brothers and Wawan is the youngest brother of Wawang, father of Ardan and Pak Arga. However, Marwan could only keep his frustration in his heart, because he also knew that what Wawan said was true. At this time it is not appropriate to discuss matters of wealth and so on, even though the tahlil event has not yet passed seven days.

''Gavin, you're tired, aren't you?! That's enough, you have to rest, go to sleep!" exclaimed Grandpa Wawan while gently patting Gavin's head.

''Yes, Grandpa... Grandpa, thanks,'' answered Gavin with a relieved smile on his face.

He almost exploded because he couldn't control his emotions. Luckily, Wawan's grandfather saved him.

''What for? That's it, go to sleep, just lock the door, it's already late! Runa is in the hospital, right?!' said Grandpa Wawan.

''Yes, Grandpa...'' answered Gavin, nodding.

"Poor child, she's been waiting for the twins in the hospital for four days, there's no one to replace her..." said Grandma Halimah in a low voice.

''What else can we do, Grandma? I am still busy taking care of things here...'' answered Gavin in a regretful tone.

"Has she eaten yet, that poor little girl?" asked Grandma Halimah again. She was sincerely concerned about Aruna's condition.

''God willing, she can take care of herself, Grandma. Besides, there is Uncle Ardan who also diligently accompanies her at the hospital," answered Gavin, but he didn't realize that his answer had piqued Grandpa Wawan's curiosity.

"Oh... That's why Ardan comes home only briefly at night," said Grandpa Wawan in reply.

''Yes, Aruna is a woman. Uncle Ardan can't let Aruna sleep alone lying around in a public place like that," answered Gavin, still in his innocent manner.

''Yeah, that's right. Well, I hope the twins can come home quickly," said Grandpa Wawan, praying, and encouraging Gavin, who looked very tired.

''Amen...'' Gavin answered Grandpa Wawan's prayer with a smile on his face.

Grandpa Wawan and Grandma Halimah then leave Gavin's house after saying goodbye. Several things had been on Grandpa Wawan's mind for the last four days. He felt strange about Aruna and Ardan but didn't have the heart to ask Gavin, who already looked very tired. A look of depression was also clearly visible on the face of the young teenager who had just finished his final exam for high school. Gavin's face looked pale with black eye circles. Not only was he not getting enough sleep, but his diet was also messed up because no one was taking care of him at home.

**

Along with the bodies of Mrs. Aisyah and Mr. Arga. Gavin and Aruna returned from the hospital and immediately prepared for the burial process. Because RT and the others had already gone home and had coordinated everything, everything was ready when the body arrived at the house. Mr. Arga's relatives have also gathered and are ready to complete the entire funeral process.

Aruna couldn't stay home for long because she had to return to the hospital to wait for Syaffa and Raffa in the NICU room. The twins' condition still needs to be monitored because they were born during an emergency. They had not yet had enough time to enter the world. But, by God's will, technological progress is mediated. There is greater hope for the two of them to survive.

Before sunset, all funeral processes were completed. There was only a slight problem when they wanted to bury Mrs. Aisyah's body. Because the tomb used is a family endowment from Mr. Arga's family. They subtly refused to allow Mrs. Aisyah's body to be buried there. However, Ardan and Gavin still insist that Mrs. Aisyah will be buried next to Mr. Arga. If not, then Ardan and Gavin choose to bury Mr. Arga and Mrs. Aisyah in a public cemetery, with Ardan's wisdom as an adult and Gavin's cooperation. They resolved this problem secretly without Aruna knowing.

***

Immediately after the burial process for Mr. Arga and Mrs. Aisyah. Aruna immediately packed several things. Grandma Halimah, the younger sister-in-law of Gavin's late grandmother (Grandma's aunt), who saw Aruna tidying up some clothes and putting them in a small backpack, immediately reprimanded her.

''Runa, what are you doing, girl?'' asked Grandma Halimah, ''Why are you tidying up your clothes? Your father and mother have just been buried..." added Grandma Halimah with a worried expression.

''This?!'' exclaimed Aruna. She was shocked to see Grandma Halimah's anxious expression, ''It's not like that... No, Grandma. Runa just wants to tidy it up a bit so I don't have to go back and forth later," said Aruna, answering gently, she explained to Grandma Halimah, who misunderstood that Aruna was going to leave the house just because her mother died.

"Just leave her be, Mom... If she wants to go, it's up to her," said Karsih in a curt tone, responding to Aruna and Grandma Halimah's conversation.

''What are you bluffing about?! Your mouth is always uncontrollable when you open your mouth, even just a little....'' said Grandma Halimah, reprimanding her daughter-in-law.

''Heiz! That's all because she wants to go herself, just leave her be. There's no need to bother getting in the way!" said Karsih, still not wanting to lose.

''Karsih, you shut up! That's a very habitual mouth. That mouth of yours, bad habit! I'll cover it with duct tape, so you know the taste...." exclaimed Darman, scolding his wife Karsih, when he had just entered after completing all the burial matters.

''Mother, Darman will go home first...'' said Darman, saying goodbye to Grandma Halimah, ''Runa, Uncle will leave,'' immediately after that, he also said goodbye to Aruna while dragging his wife Karsih.

Aruna nodded while kissing the back of Darman's hand and Karsih said goodbye to go home.

''Girl, don't take it to heart, okay? Don't you know what her habit is like, your aunt Karsih when she talks..." said Grandma Halimah, trying to cheer up Aruna.

''Yes, Grandma. It is okay. Besides, Runa doesn't have time to think about things like that now," Aruna answered with a smile.

''Then why are you packing your clothes, where are you going?" asked Grandma Halimah with a worried face.

''I want to go to the hospital, Grandma. The twins still need intensive care from medical treatment in the hospital, there's no one accompanying them."

''Oh my God! My goodness, Grandma really forgot... Yes, Arga's child," said Grandma Halimah, immediately she burst into tears again.

Again she was sad, remembering her eldest nephew who had gone to face God first. After the death of her sister-in-law, Mr. Arga's mother. Halimah's grandmother was the one who paid the most attention to Arga and Ardan at that time. She often brings food for the two of them, especially since Mr. Arga's father, who followed his wife, died eight years later.

"Owh... Grandma, I'm sorry. Please, Grandma, don't you cry all the time..." said Aruna, trying to calm Grandma Halimah.

It took quite a long time to calm the old woman, who couldn't contain her sadness because she had abandoned her nephew who had always been like her own child. Grandmother Halimah and Grandfather Wawan Wiryawan. They are the younger brother and sister-in-law of Pak Arga's parents, Wawang Wiryawan.

Grandpa Wawang, Grandpa Wawan, and Grandpa Marwan. They are three brothers who are just farmers with a large plot of rice fields left by their parents. But, over time. Eviction due to urban development eliminated his livelihood as a farmer. Little by little, their land was sold for various purposes and only a few remained which were now lived in by their children and also for themselves.

Among all their children. Mr. Arga is the most diligent and very independent. Because of this, Mr. Arga managed a fairly large plot of land that was given to him by Grandpa Wawang so well that he was able to build a rented house with 20 doors. Because Pak Arga only has two brothers, Ardan, his land is quite large compared to his other cousins. What's more, both Mr. Arga's parents have also died. This is different from Pak Arga, who has several rented houses. His other cousins only rely on monthly salaries from the factory where they work.

Since childhood, Ardan has been very close to Mr. Arga, and because of that, Mr. Arga looks like he has two children. Ardan and Gavin. Ardan is also very close to Gavin. They look like two brothers. Among the ten cousins, only Ardan enjoyed studying at university. He received a doctorate degree from Mr. Arga's encouragement and support. Ardan used to be very busy with college and then his work. Because of that, he continues to live with Pak Arga and the allotted land his parents gave him has not been used for anything to this day.

**

"Limah, what are you doing? Shame on you this little girl... Runa... You are old already but you still like to cry," asked Grandpa Wawan, who came with Ardan and Gavin after all the burial matters had been completed.

"Run, what have you done to grandma? Why is she crying?!!" Gavin exclaimed in a fake, annoyed tone.

''Not me?!'' Aruna exclaimed, frowning, answering Gavin, ''But... Yes, a little...'' said Aruna, adding with a sad expression because she felt guilty.

''So that's right. It is you..." said Gavin, his eyes glancing at Aruna.

''Sorry, I didn't mean to. It's because of Runa that Grandma sadly remembered Dad again..." said Runa with her face half lowered with a regretful expression.

"No... No... Runa didn't do anything to Grandma... It's just Grandma who still hasn't been able to let go of your father's death," said Grandma Halimah, defending Aruna.

"Just let her... Let her be satisfied with her crying. But, Auntie. Please don't continue it tomorrow! That's enough, only for today, Auntie can cry, okay..." said Ardan while hugging his aunt who had helped take care of him since he was little.

''You brat, you still like to joke with this old hag. Where have you been? It's only recently that I could see you calmly staying at home for a long time...'' said Grandma Halimah, her tears immediately turned into feelings of annoyance mixed with emotion.

#Note

Rukun Tetangga (RT) is a regional division in Indonesia under Rukun Warga. Rukun Tetangga does not include a division of government administration, and its formation is through the deliberation of the local community in the context of community services determined by the Village or Subdistrict. The Rukun Tetangga is led by the RT Head who is elected by its residents. An RT consists of a number of houses or KK (head of family). In the bureaucratic system in Indonesia, usually, RT (Rukun Tetangga) is under RW (Rukun Warga).

Halimah's grandmother, who was no longer able to contain her emotions, repeatedly got angry at Ardan while hitting Ardan to release the emotions she had been holding back for years.

''Alright, Cing, I'm so sorry... Now... Are you crying enough?!'' said Ardan, teasing his aunt while sincerely receiving a loving blow from her.

''It's finished! My sadness disappeared because I saw your annoying face. How brave you are with an old woman like me. In fact, on Eid, you don't even show yourself. But, even at times like now, you come back. Do you have to wait for your older brother to die first, then you want to go home..." said Halimah, getting even more emotional until she couldn't hold back her words.

Grandma Halimah's tears flowed again, remembering that Ardan had not been clear about what he was doing for years and how he had been. Now he also lost his wise eldest nephew. This old woman's sadness had piled up so much that she lost control of herself.

''Cing... Cing... Oh my gosh... That's enough, please... Ardan asked her not to continue talking about that taboo word anymore. Please don't continue your sentences... I'm sorry, 'Dan is so sorry," said Ardan, immediately prostrating himself, kneeling at the feet of the elderly woman.

''Astagfirullahal adzim... Astagfirullah... Oh, no! What I'm saying is that this is all because of you... You know... You provoke my emotions. I almost let go of a bad curse..." said Halimah, praying when her husband held her hand.

Grandpa Wawan reminded Grandma Halimah not to get carried away by emotions which could cause her to say bad or even inappropriate words. Because even though she was not the mother who gave birth to him, words can become prayers, therefore words must be guarded.

**

Jabir Ibmu Abdullah Ra has said that the Messenger of Allah once said,

"Do not pray for the destruction of yourselves, do not pray for the destruction of your children, do not pray for the destruction of your servants, and do not pray for the destruction of your property lest you come to a time when Allah will fulfill all your requests. is given, then your (prayer) is permitted." (Muslim Kitaz Zuhd Raqaaiq 5328 and Abu Dawud, Kitash Salah 1309).

Jamaal said that sometimes fathers or mothers who are disturbed by their children's actions actually pray for bad things for their children. This is very dangerous because the prayer could be answered.

"There are three types of prayer that will undoubtedly be accepted, namely the prayer of a persecuted person, the prayer of a traveler, and the prayer of parents for their children." (Tirmidhi, Kitabul Birri Wash Shilah 1828).

**

Halimah's grandmother was not the woman who gave birth to Ardan, but she was the sister-in-law of his father and mother, who loved him and cared for him like his own mother. Ardan lost his mother when he was born. At that time, the position of caring for Ardan was taken by Grandma Halimah.

For one reason or another, Ardan was quite afraid of Halimah's anger at him. As a Muslim, of course, he really respects the woman who has cared for him since he was a baby.

**

Some time ago, they were all still mourning the departure of Mr. Arga and Mrs. Aisyah. But, even if it's only a little, at least Ardan's presence is enough to calm his elderly parents. Grandma Halimah and Grandpa Wawan were a little entertained by Ardan's persuasion. Likewise, Gavin was previously restless and confused about how to replace his father because he was now the oldest man in his family. He could now feel a little relieved and calm in the presence of his uncle, who was like an older brother and friend to him.

"Runa, have you prepared all the things?" Ardan asked Aruna, who continued packing clothes into a bag after taking Grandma Halimah and Grandpa Wawan home.

"Yes, I already packaged everything..." answered Aruna.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a shower first... Then I'll take you to the hospital," said Ardan.

"It's okay, Runa will go by myself... you are tired, just rest first," said Aruna in response to Ardan.

"It's okay... Besides, something has to be taken care of," answered Ardan, gently patting Aruna's head, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, then walked away towards the bathroom.

Gavin looked at the two of them strangely with a confused face. He hesitated to approach Aruna and thought better of it, but in the end, he came back and talked to Aruna.

''Run...'' called Gavin, but he then fell silent, looking at Aruna for a moment after calling her.

Gavin looked hesitant as he wanted to say something as he continued to stand looking at Aruna. He stood on the door frame of Aruna's room looking at her with eyes that showed that he was pitying her.

"Why?" asked Aruna, frowning. She was surprised by Gavin's behavior.

''Hey...'' Gavin said in response, but again, his words stopped.

''Ish!... What the hell?! Speak hurry! You are like a cow to be slaughtered.''

''Damn it... Eid Hajj is still far enough''

''Well, you... You pace back and forth, making me dizzy just by looking at you... It makes me even more curious...''

''Hey, do you... really?''

''What Gavin?... Speak clearly!''

''Do you want to marry my uncle?!''

"I already have... Fool!" exclaimed Aruna curtly.

''Huh?!'' Gavin exclaimed with a dazed face. He was even more surprised.

'''It's already happened. Mang Ardan had said his Ijab and Kabul in front of Father while we were in the hospital.," said Aruna with a frown, looking sharply at Gavin.

(Ijab Kabul is a marriage vow in Islam.)

Gavin gasped in surprise as his strange face looked increasingly stupid, his brain still didn't want to believe what he had just heard from Aruna. Gavin thought about the fate of the woman who had been his sister four years ago, now having to experience all these problems because their parents had an accident a few days ago.

#Flashback

There was a lot of noise from people who heard the loud sound of a sudden screech of brakes, which was then followed by the sound of the car crash. Hysterical screams from several people who saw the incident directly echoed around the crime scene. Immediately, the crime scene became congested. Fortunately, there were traffic police officers there who immediately came to secure the area where the accident occurred.

The traffic police officer immediately called the command center for help, as there was no way he alone could control the situation that quickly attracted a crowd of people. The officer also quickly and swiftly contacted the hospital to immediately send an ambulance.

The sound of the ambulance siren wailing left its place in the previous parking lot and immediately drove to the place where it was needed. Because the road conditions are known to be busy and drivers are not friendly to emergencies, it is difficult for ambulances to drive through the crowds of vehicles passing by during rush hour. It took quite a long time for the ambulance to arrive at the accident scene.

The sound of the ambulance's brakes screeching was heard after arriving at the accident scene.

The sound of the ambulance door closing after the officers got out of the car and approached the officers who were on guard at the location.

"What's the situation, sir?" asked an ambulance officer as he got out of the car and immediately approached the officers.

''It happened some time ago. Victims, two people. They were squeezed into the driver's seat and the front passenger seat. It seemed like the two of them were husband and wife. "Because the woman is pregnant," answered the POLANTAS on duty.

''Okay, let's check first. Sir, have you called DAMKAR?'' asked the ambulance officer again.

''That's it!'' the POLANTAS officer shouted in reply.

(POLANTAS: Abbreviation for Traffic Police

DAMKAR: Abbreviation for Fire Department)

"Well, here they come," said the traffic officer when he heard the sound of Blangwir's sirens getting louder and louder approaching the location.

"Okay, we will first check the patient's condition and we will immediately work together to remove the trapped patient," said the ambulance officer in response.

The two ambulance officers swiftly and deftly took out all the necessary equipment. Seeing that one of the victims was a woman who was heavily pregnant, they immediately checked her condition first.

The ambulance officer immediately took out the AED (automated external defibrillator). Her breath was thin and irregular. Her heartbeat also became slower. Not long after that, a long sound came out of the machine. The two officers glanced at each other and then shook their heads.

They immediately divided the tasks. One of them helped the middle-aged man in the driver's seat who was already unconscious. One of the officers was talking to a DAMKAR officer.

''A female patient just died. Because her body was pinned down, we had difficulty doing CPR. However, the baby in her stomach could most likely still be saved. "Help us to immediately get her body out of the car so we can immediately save the baby in her womb," said the ambulance officer explaining the situation to the DAMKAR officers.

''Good. We will do it immediately. "Please guide us so that we don't make mistakes during the evacuation," said the DAMKAR officer commander in reply.

''Of course. We will work together," answered the ambulance officer confidently.

Officers from the Traffic Police, Ambulance Officers from the Hospital, and Officers from the Fire Department helped each other to handle the situation so that it could be handled immediately and the number of victims would not increase any further.

After some time, the two victims were successfully removed from the wrecked car. Both of them were immediately taken to the nearest hospital to immediately receive all the necessary treatment.

"Is there a victim's family who can be contacted?" asked an emergency room officer to the team carrying the accident victim.

''Looking for. However, from the IDs that were found, the victims were indeed a husband and wife," said one of the officers.

''Connected... A number answered," said Polantas with a happy face.

He had been busy looking for a telephone number that could be contacted on the lying device which he thought belonged to the victim. When he saw a number that said "My little hero", the officer immediately called. Later, he was sure he saw the WhatsApp conversation history between the two.

''Hello, good afternoon...''

''Yes, good afternoon...''

''Sorry, we are police officers. Want to notify you of an emergency? Is it true that you know the owner of this phone?'

''Yes. This is my brother's number."

''Can you please state your brother's name!''

''Arga Wiryawan, 45 years old...''

''Okey... Sorry, we have to convey this sad news. The victim, Mr. Arga Wiryawan is now in critical condition in hospital after experiencing an accident. We hope you can come here as soon as possible to take care of the next steps."

''Accident?! OK, I'll be right there. Sir, please take whatever action is necessary to save my brother. Don't worry about the costs, I'll take care of everything," said the man in a voice that sounded anxious and nervous.

''Ok. We have tried to do the best we can. You'd better come here immediately to be clearer!"

''Alright. I'll go there immediately...''
