I parked my bike in front of my house, the house that became my history of growth into adulthood as it is now. I parked my bike in front of the house and I knocked on the door of my house that I hadn't been to for almost a month.
Geck...Tock....Geck...I knocked on the door and said my greetings.
"Assynnya!" I heard footsteps approaching the door.
"Mu...!" My mother hugged me while crying and she invited me into the house.
Don't forget I kissed her hand and then I hugged her back to let go of the kangen I've been feeling for a month.
My mom and I are sitting in a living room that may not be worth calling a living room. Because my living room is not a luxurious living room with expensive chairs and furniture like in my in-laws' house.
But I was very comfortable sitting in an old chair that since childhood was still the same and did not even change.
I waited for my mother to make me drink.
For dinner I happened to have bought my favorite catfish pecel and I also bought a little fruit, snacks and groceries for mom.
"Rendra, let's drink the pup still warm!" I put two glasses of warm tea on the table.
"Thank you!" I said while sipping my mother's tea.
"Rendra, how's your wife and family doing?" Ask mom while moving the snacks I brought into the jar.
"Alhamdulillah, Melisa and the family are healthy." My answer.
"Thank God, they treat you well?" Mom looked at me full of probes.
"Yes ma'am, even Papa Darmawan told me to work in his office but I refused."
"Why was he rejected?" My mother approached me and sat down next to me.
"I still want to work alone without having to rely on the same wealth in-laws." My spontaneous answer made my mother smile shady.
"Good Ren, I think it's better that way." Mom patted my shoulder .
"Mother, let's eat the catfish in the cold" I opened my favorite pecel lele pack.
After eating I went to the bathroom to clean myself then I would continue chatting with my mother.
"Some time, ma'am, Rendra, go to the bathroom first!" pamitku while walking away from mother.
Mom cleaned up our former dinner.
After finishing the bath and prayer, I sat back in the living room while watching television which is only 14inc in size and still in the form of a tube.
"Rendra, how many days are you planning?" My mother with her sad look.
"Tomorrow Rendra is back ma'am." I answered while looking at the mother who looked sad.
Mom just nodded and her tears dripped again like she didn't want me to go back to the city.
(Mother if you knew I was hated there by my mother-in-law, Melisa she was just pretending to be nice to me but I tried sincerely to accept everything because I was sure there would be a rainbow after the rain.) I felt deep and I didn't feel my tears.
"Rendra, when do you get a grandchild?" My mother smiled at me.
"Mom, just married for a month." My answer is to divert the conversation.
"Rendra, whose name is married is also the end of the child." while patting my shoulder.
(Talking about my son remembering Melisa, the first time I did that with Melisa.)I smiled to myself.
"Rendra, what do you think about your own smile." Mom's picking me up.
"Ah miss Melisa!" My answer was spontaneous and made my mother gawk in shock.
"It's not been a day for you, it's been missing!" Mother's shaking head.
"No ma'am, just this morning she wants to come here but mama-in-law won't let."
"Maybe if Melisa's coming, you're not nginep." Mom was sad and looked down.
"Rendra dear mother!" I hugged my mother with my chest that was starting to cramp up thinking about this mother who had been living alone for a month.
It didn't feel like the night was getting late at last me and mom went into our rooms each for a break.

In the morning I woke up early because I had to leave early for my work. But suddenly I heard my mother screaming in the kitchen and she fell down and fainted.
"Mothers...Mother...! " I cried out for help from the next door neighbor but the house was empty because they had left for the rice field.
I ran here and there asking for help and finally Aisyah my childhood friend passed by to go to college.
"Ais, I can ask my mom to faint!" Rendra brought Ais into my house.
Rendra and Ais enter and carry Siti's mother to her bed.
"Mas, I'm looking for help first." Ice ran out to seek help.
Ais brought a pack of RTs who had brought pick up cars to take Ms Siti to the nearest Hospital.
"Sir RT asked for help to take mom to the hospital." I pleaded with Mr. Rt to help mom.
I finally took my mother to the Hospital in the city whose equipment was more complete.
The big hospital is not far from where I work.
After arriving at the Hospital, the mother was immediately examined by a doctor turned out to be a sick mother of brain cancer that must be operated immediately.
I who heard the explanation of the Doctor immediately can only resign because the cost of surgery is very much and I will not be able to pay for it.
I leaned my body against the wall and I cried.
Aisyah came to me and then she tried to come find a solution.
"Mas, I've got a little savings online job that might help." He offered help.
"I can't take it because I don't have any savings." I am so ashamed of Aisha.
"Pbuh, I'm sincerely helping you and maybe my money can be used to pay for the Hospital Dp so that the mother's surgery can be done." Aisyah kept forcing me.
I resigned and finally I accepted Aisyah's offer and for the shortcomings I will think about after the operation was done.
Aisyah took the money at the ATM in the Hospital. He gave me a 20 million loan for Dp of my mother's hospital expenses.
Then the loan money from Aisyah I pay to the administration and according to the plan the operation will be done later in the day.
The amount I paid was 60 Million and I still had to look for the flaws.
I'll leave mom to Aisyah because I'll be at work for a few days' clearance because I have to look after mom.
"Ais, I can leave mom for a second.!"
"By my mom, I happen to be in college at 11:00." Ais replied with a smile.
"It's my phone number if there's anything call me right away." I gave a piece of paper to Ais.
I finally left Aisyah at the Hospital to take care of my mother.
I went to work using an online motorcycle because I did not bring a motorcycle because I was in Mr. RT's car.
Arriving at work, I immediately met Mr. Muchtar the owner of the Feed Store.
"Sir, I'm sorry to ask permission for a few days because my mother is sick." I ventured to give permission.
"Good but please don't take more than 3 days." Mr. Muchtar gave me the salary I should have received later in the afternoon.
"Thank you Sir!" I got the envelope from Mr. Mochtar.
Budi who happens to have raised the feed to be delivered to the customer to visit me.
"Bro, why are you?" The fate of caring for me is different from Toro who always envies me.
"Mom got sick and went to the hospital." My answer.
"I'm so sorry and I hope your mother gets well soon!"
"Thank you for praying that Allah may be wise."
I went from the Feed Store and returned to the Hospital with an ojek online again.
Arriving at the Hospital I immediately met Aisyah and told her to immediately go to college.
"ice." He stood up straight.
"Yes Mas, the doctor said that the mother's surgery will be done soon."
"Ais, thank you for being nice to me." I held her hand and Ais immediately pulled her out like she knew the limits because I was married.
"I'm saying goodbye!" Aisha passed by and disappeared from my sight.
(Ais, I know you still love me the same I'm sorry that now my heart has for my wife even though she can't love me sincerely yet.)Rendra.
Thank you for stopping by for your support, hopefully Author healthy and diligent up.
