Wife To Alan
Falling and Slipping

AUTHOR POV

Today, before his passing that was out of nowhere. Inanti came to the police department to see the situation. And there, he smiled as he was taken by the police. They were blocked by glass, but felt very close.

"Later…. How are you, honey?"

"Good thanks, Father how?"

"Allahamdulillah."

Now, Inanti saw her wrinkled old face becoming clearer. Sendu and start graying. You're wearing a skullcap, and a prisoner's t-shirt. However, his eyes seemed to glow, as if something had come off.

"This brings food for the Father, later in the meal."

"Where are the grandchildren of the Father? Healthy?"

Inanti held her stomach which blocked the veil. "Thank you be healthy, Pa. Yesterday abis checked."

"The approximate time of birth?"

Inanti recalled a moment. "22 days from now."

"Well, great. What did you buy?"

Inanti fell silent, thinking about what was in question. Actually, there is not much that Inanti bought. Only a few clothes that Inanti likened but distinguished through colors, socks, diapers, powder, white wood and blankets. For the others, Inanti had not bought it yet. Just getting out of the house makes him lazy, pregnant women want to continue to fall.

"Some clothes, Pa."

"Just clothes?"

"How much, this time must call all."

Father even laughed. "Where's Alan?"

The question that never escapes from the Father is about this figure. He keeps questioning Alan, how he is doing, or his attitude towards Inanti.

"Alhamdullilah he is well."

"Are you the same?"

I'm sorry Inanti lied, it's for good.

"Okay, Alhamdullilah."

"Thank God, then, I'm glad you got along."

Inanti just smiled. "Self how?"

"Father is deepening religious knowledge, there is Ustadz who always come every week. You have a chance to learn."

Inanti smiles. Although there was still a tattoo on the hand of the Father, and also his long hair was tied, Inanti saw clearly the changes in his eyes that were beginning to age.

"Father out is still a long time, you're patient."

"Yes, you who should be patient, this is God's test."

"Father don't consider this a test, Nan. Think of this as wisdom and a way out."

Yes, Inanti understands what you mean. 

He continued, "If this does not happen, the Father will never be able to feel fear of God, this path that leads the Father to get closer to Him."

Inanti's eyes water, Father completely changed. "Dear like njai? Will Inan bring the Quran?"

"There, Nan. Father is given. If possible, please bring Islamic books? Mr. Denger Alan at his house has a private library."

Inanti nodded quickly. "Yes, Pa, you'll bring it."

Inanti tried to hold back the tears, until the attendant came and said, "The time of visit is up."

Without telling you, Inanti packed up today and left Alan's house.

Inanti was silent at Mbo Maemunah stall, waiting for Alan while holding a old-fashioned cell phone. He said he was going to give his mother a wedding here, but where was he? Not coming.

Until finally Inanti ventured to call him. Unexpectedly he lifted it.

"Hallo, Assalamualikum. This is Inan, where is this brother?"

'I just got out, you're here.'

Inhere? He crazy. Himself nyamperin is that it?

"Inan is in front of the University stop."

'If you want to wait, I have some business to do.'

He hung up the phone, making Inanti sigh slowly. Sure enough, waiting for him for over an hour here. What business is he doing?

I also decided to meet him. The post-graduate building is near the directorate office, towering. And Inanti knew Alan's class was on the second floor.

Some of the people who saw him stared pityfully, cynically, various anyway, it seemed like his face was familiar among these people.

As if by chance, Inanti sees Alan at the end of the stairs that Inanti climbed. While playing a cell phone, he is handsome like the first Inanti saw him.

"Sister," Inanti said making him stare at his wife.

"Why are you here?"

"The brother who told me."

He sighed, not even Alan spoke, someone called him. "Relaaaann…."

A woman came out of the classroom, and Vanesa was surprised to see her presence there. "Ngapain loe here?"

"You take the marriage book."

"You told him to come here, Al?"

Alan remained silent. "I'll take it first."

Leaving Inanti and Vanesa. The building is quieter than the S-1 building, a lot lonely and only a few pass by. Inanti did not like getting a sharp look from Vanesa, she approached intimidatingly.

"Loe took my dress?"

"Udah Inan fix it, Brother can take it at home."

Vanesa. "Eat it, if you don't buy people's stuff, *****."

Inanti was silent, until Vanesa grabbed the thing in my hand, it was Father's clock.

"Sister!"

"Whose one is it? Om-om's? Loe abis selling himself?"

"Back!"

Vanesa raised his hand high. And without pity, he threw the clock towards the stairs. Inanti did not accept. When Inanti turned around to pick up the clock, Inanti felt someone step on her robe. He made her fall down the stairs. 

Inanti could not feel anything, everything was dark. Inanti's eyes opened, but nothing Inanti saw. Time seemed to stop, everything seemed to move slowly. His breath was breathless, even the wind that moved slowly could Inanti feel.

However, Inanti heard the sentence that Alan said, "Reply, consciously, Nan. We're going to the hospital. Awake, Nan, open your eyes."
