CARRIER (When Destiny Reigns )
season 2 chapter 3
Grief Night
A happy afternoon full of laughter. It's just me and Grandpa's granddaughter Mia. Until we are the ones who are the center of the night's attention. Mia, who is still a matter of months, has not been able to show the advantages. While I was preoccupied with millions of questions about my ideals. Whether I want to be like Dad, or have another dream.
I just smile, my smile makes a day. Well, this smile made my face look even more like that of the late Grandfather. Handsome face, narrow-eyed and white skinned. A smile featuring dimples on both of my cheeks. The sweet smile that made Father and Uncle so eager to live life.
Everyone enjoys the time. My uncle who came with his candidate was eager to introduce him to our extended family. It was a beautiful night, with the moonlight so bright. As if celebrating my happiness.
The gift is piled in the corner near the table. There's a big car-shaped tart there. Well, my dream car, a red sports car. Dad says red is a symbol of strength and courage.
“Well, if Andre's big later. Andre wants to have a car like this,” I show the picture on the glass screen.
“Big car, red color. Car at full speed, but not for racing. Except for the excess car, Dad. Car with both doors open to the top. Cool car, although can speed, but no sound Well. Can Andre have a car like that later?”
Dad smiled, he gently stroked my hair and said “can, study seriously. Work hard, get Andre's dream car. I want, Andre tried himself to get it. How?” I also nodded. I'm glad you agreed with my choice. Even though the terms have to buy themselves with my savings.
Classical music accompanied our dinner. Everyone looked happy, no face without a smile that night. White dress with a variety of neatly lined styles. Black shirts and suits were Dad's choice that night. The white shirt with all its accessories made my Uncle-Uncle look dashing. Well, although it is said to be a simple party, but for many people still say luxurious. At least this is how my father and mother taught me simple. Prioritize family and live happily.
Until 06:00 WIB. I met Mom in the room, and she was writing her diary.
“Bu, Uncle and Aunt have gathered. Mom why not come out?”
“Come dear ...”
Mom hugged me and stroked my hair. I pecked my forehead repeatedly. Both my cheeks and nose were also the target of his kiss.
“Andrea, the daughter of the most loving Mother. Does Andrea love Mom too?”
“Yah, Andrea darling Mother. Why do you ask that?”
Mom shook her head then said “ I just wanted to make sure. I'm afraid you don't love Mom and forget about Mom.”
“No way, Mom! How could Andrea forget about Mom. Mom is so nice, Mom is pretty, Mom is most Andrea in love. Mother the woman Andrea loved.”
Mom smiled, a happy look on her face.
I whispered this in Mom's ear, “ As long as I know, Andrea loves Mom more than Dad. But don't tell anyone, Mom!”
My mother laughed, her cheeks blushed red, her smile so wide. So happy Mom that she shed tears.
“Why do you cry? I'm sorry Andrea, Mom. If Andrea says that hurt Mom.”
Mother shook her head, bringing me closer to my body right in her chest. It keeps me warm, close and deep. As if to declare, this hug was a farewell.
“Go out, call your Dad. Mom will follow!”
She smiled, waved and wiped the tears on her cheeks. That's my last look.
I approached Dad, stating that Mom was waiting for him. Excuse the other guests and walk to the room. All seemed ordinary and happy, until I heard Dad's voice calling my mother's name.
“Sri ...”
“Build ...”
All eyes stared at each other towards the house. My uncle ran to the room, while I was being held by my aunt. Don't know what's going on. All I know is, my mother's gone.
That night, the birthday party and the farewell party Mom to us.
“What happened Kang?”
“Mba Sri has passed away, Dik. Just now, in the arms of Mas Jaya.”
“Ya, Lord ...”
Hearing this, I took off Aunt's grip and ran towards the room. At that moment I saw my mother asleep in bed with her best smile. Mother lying like a sleeping princess. The beautiful dress, makeup and beautiful smile seemed to depict her planned departure. She has abnormalities in her lungs and heart. This has been known to my father far from before his match with Mom happened. Dad has loved Mom so much, that the lack and pain of Mom is not a burden for Dad. Even I promise, I will keep you old.
My dad sat right next to Mom lying down, Dad grabbed me, clenched tightly and said “Mom has gone to the best place, Mother's message is not to be a bad boy. Andrea promise?”
My tears broke, I just told Mom my secret. I just expressed my love and love. I just hugged Mom. Now all of that is the last.
I nodded in response to Dad's words. He gave me his little finger, and our fingers were coiled around each other. This is how I, Mom and Dad would make a deal.
I approached Mom, I grabbed her hand, I warmed up the weak-looking hand, cold, no more warmth.
I put that palm that always stood up for me, right over my head. Honey, the hand was not powered, until it fell back into the bed.
Well, the figure of my wingless angel vanished. I can't take it, but I promised Dad and Mom not to be bad boys.
“Andrea ..., don't cry too long. Your power will be gone, boy! Kan Andrea hero Mother.”
That is the speech that always rang when I had to cry because I was sad. Every time I remember this, my tears slowly stop dripping. In fact, when I had so much trouble stopping it.
The laughter that adorned our faces turned into sobs of pain. Mother was not only kind and loving to me and Dad, but to my Uncles as well. Mother never differentiates her own sister or father. In fact, when my Uncle was constrained and it was difficult to express it to Father, my mother helped my Uncle to convey it. Even though it's a business thing. My mother was a smart woman, she also helped Grandpa's efforts in his youth.
It's just, Mom asked permission from Grandpa and Dad. To be a full-fledged mother after marriage.
Tonight I don't want to sleep, I want to be next to Mom. Looking satisfied Mom's beautiful face. Hugged Mom's arm as long as I could. But, baby, sleepiness made me forget. Until I was moved to sleep more comfortably.
