Waiting for Elena's Love
34
"Can you today?"
"What can mah?"
"Can go to the tomb"
Elena shook her head "No, Elena's not ready yet"
"Why? Mother Lilis must be glad you came" said Marisa.
"Not now, ma'am" Elak Elena.
"When do you want to go, son? She was the mother who gave birth to you".
Jodeeer ...
Hearing the lightning in the hot afternoon, the three men who were sitting casually in front of Elena suddenly turned pale knowing the reality before them, they never knew, they never knew, Elena kept such a big secret, then what does that have to do with Elena's birthday?
"Naaaakkk .. " call Marisa in a soft voice, facing Elena who has for years rejected the fact her birth mother, making Marisa not want to say loud and firm.
Tears flooded Elena's face "Mama Elena beg mah, Elena is not ready" he said.
"Elena .. mama knows you haven't been able to accept all this, but like it or not, God has already predestined this for us, but mama Yakin in the depths of your heart, you love Mother Lilis, it's because you are moody and sad every birthday you arrive"
"Where do you know, I've never felt that way"
"You forget, you are also a mother's child, even though you were not born from your womb, but you are a mother sent by God to care for and love you".
"It's happened since your first birthday, at first you think you're just fussy because you're teething, but you get suspicious because it's happening every year, right the day before your birthday, right, you are always acting up, fussy or even angry for no reason, you feel it right? but after adolescence you do not think too much about your sadness, but this incident is getting worse since you know the truth, right? since 8 years ago you always turned off your phone on your birthday".
"Well son, please grant mama's wish" Pinta Marisa softly. "Mama is sure, after this at least you can make peace with your sadness".
With the rest of the tears still inundated, Elena nodded her head in resignation.
"Thank you, unfortunately, Mama, one thing you have to remember, no matter what happens, you always love you"
...****************...
The car they were riding stopped at the cemetery, the grave guards who were in charge of cleaning the cemetery area seemed to walk up to them.
“excuse me, it seems like you have never seen this mas and mbak come here, only the first time came?” the old man asked kindly.
“True sir, we have only first come to kari” Priyo answered the old man's question politely.
“Who are you looking for the tomb? later help find” the man asked again.
“We want to make a pilgrimage to the tomb, mother Lilis Suryaningsih”
“Oh grave mother lilis, indeed every year on this date, her husband always comes on pilgrimage with his new wife” Elena looks surprised to hear the narration of the tomb keeper, the, what the gravekeeper meant was Marisa.
"Then lapse of two days or a week following her, there is a young husband and wife also come here, he said the daughter he” and it must be sister eliza and her husband.
“Then you can know who this mas and mbak is?” Ask the old man.
“I am also her daughter pak”, Elena replied quietly, with a vibrating voice.
The guardian of the tomb seems surprised, but the next second he said “ let's follow the pak” pinta.
Elena walked slowly following the steps of the tomb keeper, at a brief stop when her three companions were about to walk after her.
“I want to go there myself” he said.
The three men nodded without a sound.
Elena continued her footsteps, following the old man of the tomb guard.
The old man seemed to smile, when it arrived at the destination, “thank you pak” said sincere elena.
The old man nodded, then left.
After the old man died, Elena was stunned to look at the simple tomb that looks neat with grass, it seems Aaron asked the tomb guard to take care of his wife's grave.
“Mother ... Mama ... Mother ..." Elena smiled at "Ironis once well, even Elena did not know what to call you” Elena began to talk to the tomb in front of her.
Elena fell silent again, her eyes began to glaze over, really all this time has she been a child of disobedience?? just thinking about it had made his body tremble and his legs limp, now he just rested in front of his mother's grave.
“Mother ... Sorry Elena, sorry Elena just came here, sorry Elena who just accepted the reality, sorry Elena who has been busy regretting the situation, sorry Elena who has always hated mother, forgive Elena who never even prayed for you ... Elena is sorry ..”
Elena was no longer able to hold back her tears, the clear details pouring down her cheeks.
Haris who stared from a distance, could no longer resist his desire to approach Elena “oh ****, I want to go there, I want to, it is up to you to come or not” Haris also walked with fast steps approaching the tomb.
Arriving at the tomb of Lilis, his heart felt crumpled, hearing the crying poo of the girl who was deeply loved her, without hesitation he also joined the rest and hugged Elena's shoulder, without hesitation, as if wanting to channel the energy he had, Haris just silently stared and let Elena spill her tears.
Finally, Bagus and Priyo also came to Elena, as if understanding each other, they were just silently staring, along with feeling the sadness of the friend.
...****************...
now the four friends are silent without a sound.
"Little lady?" call a familiar voice in their ears.
The four of them turned to the origin of the voice.
The figure of a mid-60-year-old woman, standing before them, a simple black dress wrapped her body, her hair that had begun to whiten seemed to be carried neatly.
"Bi Mey .. "excite the fourth.
The woman called Mey seemed to develop her smile.
Elena hugged the woman who had spent half her age serving in Sebastian's family.
"Elena misses Auntie" Elena returned to tears.
"Auntie as well" said Bi Mey while stroking her back and little lady's hair.
"Sorry Auntie well, actually Auntie wants to wait for the lady to come home, but the health condition of the aunt already does not allow for the aunt to linger long in the house of the big master, So Aunt decided to retire early"
"Where do you live now?"
"A little over an hour from this tomb" Bi Mey replied.
"Did your aunt make a pilgrimage here often?"
"Not really miss, but always aunty try, especially Today, usually Auntie deliberately came here to say hello or just meet the Madam and Master in this tomb"
"Did Bi Mey know Mommy too?
"Of course, miss, Aunt knows well, your biological mother is also from this city, Aunt even neighbors with your Mother's family"
Elena turned away in disbelief.
"Because Aunt brought your mother, to work at the master's house"
Bi Mey's confession made Elena even more curious about the figure of the mother who gave birth to her.
"Can Aunt tell me?"
"Of course, with great pleasure, aunt will tell you a story, but now let Aunt pray first for your Mother"
Elena nodded, then allowed Bi Mey to step foot towards Pusara Bunda Lilis.
