  • At 17:00 pm, 78 minutes before the breaking of the fast -
    "Ndri, please buy ice cubes in the shop .. !!" Shouted his mother from the kitchen.
    Actually he heard clearly the voice of his mother who called him just now, but as if no matter he refocused on his gadget. Until a few moments later, her mother arrived at the girl's room.
    "Ndri, this please buy the mother ice cubes, soon again I want to break the fast." Her mother said so softly. But it seemed the girl still did not want to leave.
    "Ah mother, Indri kan fast, tired bu .." said the girl was lazy.
    Heard her mother's reply then went out of the room and let her child rest. The girl just stared blankly at the back of her mother who slowly disappeared as she went out back into the kitchen.

The room was quiet again, because the girl looked sleepy and seemed to lie down on her bed. The heat was so great even though it was dusk. Forcing the girl who is familiarly called Indri turns on the air conditioner to the lowest temperature. Until soon he was dissolved in a deep and forget the wasteland that had been felt.

Minutes passed unexpectedly, drum maghrib marker of the fasting worship that day was just a last minute wait. The girl went outside her room, jogging toward the kitchen. Her eyes glanced in every direction, searching for someone who had asked her to help her. Mother.
"Bu .." he called. Then sit down at the dinner table.
He saw a neat hood of rice on the table. But, not the mother met. His heart began to fret, it was seen as he leaned his chin. Like thinking and guessing where the mother is now.
"Did mother go to a stall?" She asked silently. "Ah, I'd better get involved." He continued later.

It did not take long, he had reached the shop near the house. However, from a distance there was no figure he was looking for. But the girl kept coming closer to make sure.
"Mom, what was my mother here ?." Tanya Indri to the mothers of the shop.
"Yeah ndri, your mother came here, she bought ice cubes. Keep going straight home. "Clearly the owner of the stall.
The girl looked downcastly displeased by the answer just now that her mother was obviously not at home. She thought again of where her mother might be.
"Alright then. Indri go home ya bu. Thank you. "He said politely to the mother of the shop owner. And the shop owner just smiled back at him.

Increasingly troubled, walking a bit shaky back home. She knows that her mother is not home even when she arrives. Where else should he look. Soon it's time to break the fast. The girl came home alone all the way home, occasionally glancing toward the neighbor's house, perhaps her mother still chatting with the neighboring mothers. But nothing.

At 18:03 pm, 15 minutes before breaking the fast
He glanced at the watch in his hand, looking smiling in there. Apparently it's not an ordinary watch, yes it is not. It was a gift his mother gave her during her 17th birthday last week, exactly the third day of fasting. Yes, the full girl named Indri Ramadhania was born to coincide with the heavy days of the mother who was fasting. His eyes are red now, then the girl runs home.

With three houses from where he stands now, he saw his house crowded. Strange. What is this feeling? Afraid. Immediately, the girl's thoughts, the negative images that had been trying to keep her out of the head now gathered frightened the girl. What is this?! He shouted to himself. Her eyes widened. Feelings of anxiety and the cool air of the twilight atmosphere and the house that the neighbors visited. Perhaps?!. He stood at the door, when an aunt from his mother hugged him. Break the girl's tears. People can only see, as if nothing can help to calm him down. Then the aunt with an almost inaudible tone tried to tell Indri about everything.

"Ndri, this is your aunt, your second mother. Your aunt is like your own aunt. From now on, you want to ask for anything, say the same aunt huh? "Her aunt said softly.
But the girl looked confused with blank stares, until her aunt accompanied her into the house. Can not be dodged again, again broke the tears of the girl. Squeaked he was strong. Limp body instantly, fell beside the mother's body lying stiff. The vacuum of the hollow body is strong, it shook her to awaken the sleeping person. But not sleep. True is the body left behind. The mother is gone. Numbness over the girl's body. Bleating his face, the aunt sitting next to her as a booster can only see without comment. Until that was true, not long after that limp body had been touched, fell to the floor.
