A Hope Above the Wait

22. Following departure

"Mama, why did Mama leave Samira? Now Samira with whom? Samira has no one else" said Samira with tears streaming down her cheeks, tightly hugging the tombstone from her mother.

Hearing this, Firman, feeling sorry for Samira, helps Samira to get up from her seat and invites Samira to leave the funeral. However, at that moment he refused and continued to hold Jasmin's tombstone tighter and tighter.

Seeing that, the parents of the Word also asked the Word to let Samira vent her grief over the loss of her mother. He asked the Word not to force Samira away from her mother's grave. Word who heard the words finally decided to let Samira cry beside her mother, even he died Samira at the funeral with a heavy heart.

Not long ago, Samira was saddened by the loss of her mother. He put his head on top of eating Jasmin with tears that kept flowing and fell into Jasmin's tomb.

When he was lying on top of eating Jasmin, suddenly he saw a hand holding one of Samira's shoulders. The woman is Jasmin, she holds Samira's shoulder gently and affectionately. Realizing that, Samira immediately woke up from her seat and she hugged the woman who looked like Jasmin.

At that time Jasmin was wearing all-white clothes and he looked very beautiful with what he was wearing at that time.

"Mama, Samira please don't stay Samira. Samira needs Mama" said Samira with tears that continued to wet her cheeks.

Hearing that word, Jasmin smiled and suddenly arrived at a place that a few moments ago a tomb suddenly turned into a flower garden with a hazy smoke and looks very beautiful with butterflies flying around.

"Who did Mom say left you? My mother never left you!. Mama will always be with you, and Om Ayan!. Mama please take care of Om Ayan and love Om Ayan like you love Mama, because what? Because your heart beat is inside of him. Mama beg you not to be angry with Om Ayan" said Jasmin with an occasional smile and he let go of his embrace. Then, Jasmin continued saying "Mama wants to, you love her with all your heart!."

Samira who heard the words he just smiled and then he hugged Jasmin again.

After a few moments of hugging, Jasmin again released Samira's embrace to him and he asked to go to the house of Word and pray Jasmin. Samira who heard the remark suddenly woke up from her sleep on the grave of her mother. At that time, he had a dream to see his mother.

After he realized he looked confused, his eyes looking back and forth like someone was looking for something. He also occasionally called his mother, but there was no response, he only saw the tomb around him.

Realizing that what she saw was a dream, Samira approached her mother's tombstone. Then, with tears constantly dripping down he looked towards his mother's grave.

"Mama, thank you. Mama is already present in Samira's dream, and Samira promises the child to always love Om Ayan like what Mama said!."

After saying that, Samira smiled at her mother's grave and left the tomb unhappily. When he was at the entrance gate of the tomb, he saw the Word still standing in front of the entrance. Realizing that, Samira immediately stopped her steps and stood near her father.

"Have you not come home yet?" asked Samira in a low and sad tone.

"No, I'm waiting for you. We're going home, right?" ask the Word to Samira. Samira who realized that he just nodded his head sadly, without saying a word.

Finally, Samira and Firman went home to prepare a message for Jasmin at Jasmin's own house.

7 Days passed so quickly, Samira was still saddened by the passing of her mother. However, on the other hand he is also happy, because he sees Ayan has started to improve from his coma.

At that time Samira who is still sad is now waiting for Ayan's recovery by occasionally shedding tears with eyes that continue to lead towards Ayan's heart.

Seeing that, Ayan's mother looked sad, she then approached Samira and held one of Samira's shoulders. Samira who realized that she just quietly with sadness and looked towards Ayan's mother who was gently holding her shoulder.

Realizing that Ayan's mother was holding her shoulder, Samira immediately hugged Ayan's mother and she seemed powerless to hold back her tears that continued to flow down her cheeks.

"Mother.... Samira herself Mom. Now Samira has no one" said Samira sadly and tears continued to pour down her cheeks.

Ayan's mother who heard the words she was also seen to be sad, her tears also flowed down her cheeks. She tries to calm Samira who keeps crying in her arms.

"No Samira, you're not alone. There's Om Ayan, there's Papa Firman, there's us!. You're not alone" Ayan's mother said to calm Samira down by giving a gentle swab over her shoulder.

Not long after, Samira's cry stopped when Ayan's mother realized that one of Ayan's fingers was moving, she immediately approached Ayan and checked Ayan's situation.

Realizing that Ayan has begun to realize, Samira's face looks very happy, not only does Samira Ayan's mother also look happy with it. He immediately called the doctor who was in the hospital to check on Ayan.

After checking Ayan, the doctor also said that Ayan was fine. He had gone through his coma and was now just waiting for himself to recover and open his eyes.

Hearing that remark, Samira looked very happy. Not only Samira, Ayan's mother was also very happy he was seen directly hugging Samira very tightly after realizing that Ayan had begun to recover from a coma.

Seeing the happiness seen in the face of Samira, Firman entered the room occupied by Ayan, he invited Samira to go home but he was rejected by Samira. He did it because he felt that no one could take care of him when he was with his father.

Hearing Samira's answer that rejects him, Firman looks sad but what can do it was his fault he also did not force Samira to come home with him.

Eventually, Firman leaves Samira and Ayan's parents in the hospital. At that time Samira who saw his father leave, was indeed sad but he did not even try to stop the Word. He looked only at the Word with tears filling his eyes.

Hearing what his wife wanted, he finally approached Samir. After he got close to Samira, he woke Samira up slowly. When Samira woke up, he invited Samira to come home but at that time he refused and chose to wait until Ayan recovered.

Seeing Samira refused to be brought home by Ayan's father, slowly Ayan's mother asked Samira to obey what they wanted but Samira continued to refuse and chose to wait for Ayan.

Finally, Ayan's parents do not force Samira to go home and leave Samira in the hospital.

Time passed by so quickly, when everyone was asleep in their sleep. One of Ayan's fingers moved, but at that time they did not realize that Ayan had begun to realize.

Not long after, Ayan opened his eyes slowly. At that time he was still confused after his eyes opened, when it was seen Samira sleeping next to Ayan very soundly. When he looked toward Samira, he slowly moved his hand and stroked Samira's sleeping fist. Realizing that his head was stroked by someone, Samira immediately woke up and he looked very happy to see that the man he was later to wake up was already awake.

Samira who saw Ayan was awake, he immediately woke Ayan's mother from her sleep by giving a small swaying shake on her body.

Realizing that, Ayan's mother immediately woke up and she approached Ayan who had been awakened.

"Where are you Ayan?" ayan's mother asked Ayan who had seen her at the time.

After hearing that remark, suddenly he remembered the accident that had happened to Jasmin and himself.

"Jasmine!" ayan said with a sigh.

At that time Ayan's voice was still not heard clearly, it was because he was still using a breathing apparatus. Ayan who was injured in the head, slowly continued to wriggle like a hot worm after calling the name Jasmin. He felt a tremendous pain in his head.

Realizing that, the atmosphere that was happy at that moment suddenly turned into an atmosphere of panic. Ayan's mother is seen calling the doctor, while Samira is seen trying to calm Ayan. At that time Ayan who realized it, he only held tightly to Samira's hand, Samira who saw it immediately felt the touch of his mother's hand. She felt that her mother had never left her.

Moments later, one of the doctors approached Ayan's mother and she checked on Ayan. Realizing that Ayan was in a lot of pain with the wound, the doctor finally gave an anesthetic injection so that Ayan fainted and did not feel the pain anymore.

After receiving the injection, Ayan immediately fainted and was unconscious. Seeing that, Ayan's mother looked calmer, as did Samira. But at that time Samira looks sad to see Ayan's situation like that.

"Doctor, Ayan's fine, isn't Doc?" ayan's mother asked the doctor who examined Ayan.

"Mother take it easy, Mr. Ayan is fine. But, I beg you.. Please, don't tie up in advance about the accident that occurred a few days ago, if reminded. I was afraid that something like this would happen again!" said the doctor to warn Ayan and the others.

Hearing the explanation from the doctor, Ayan and Samira's mother just nodded her head and agreed what the doctor wanted.

The next day, Samira seems to have prepared herself for school. Using the school uniform, he said goodbye to Ayan who at that time looked fresher and did not use a breathing apparatus.

At that time he stood beside Ayan by holding one of Ayan's hands.

"Om Ayan, Samira said yes. Samira wants to go to school," said Samira after that he said goodbye to Ayan's mother and Ayan's father. He then came out of the room occupied by Ayan, when he was outside the room seen Word was waiting for Samira. Realizing that, Samira looks to just lower her head.

Along the way, Samira was silent to the Word, he did not say a word to the Word. Realizing that, Firman also tried to open the topic of conversation with Samira with him apologizing for what he did when he forgot his memory.

Hearing the apology from the Word, Samira just kept silent even he did not turn his head, nor did he answer a single word from his mouth.

Seeing that, Firman immediately stopped his car and looked at Samira with a sharp eye looking at Samira.

"Can't you forgive Dad?" ask the Word in a firm tone.

Samira who was silent at that time, suddenly his eyes glazed with glass and he looked at the Word with tears that continued to flow down his cheeks.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry, I beg you to forgive Ayan for everything I did to you and your mother. If you can't forgive dad, fine. Don't forgive me, but please... Don't cry in front of Dad" said Firman with the index finger of Samira's eyelids filled with tears.

After seeing the attitude of the Word that has returned as before, without thinking long Samira also embraced the Word tightly. Word saw that, he shed tears and returned Samira's embrace by stroking Samira gently.

"Dad is my father, now I don't have anyone. I just have Dad, then what if I don't forgive you. I'll definitely lose it all!."

Said Samira with tears that continued to break and continued to embrace the Word.

After a few moments of hugging, Samira took off her embrace slowly and she lowered her head again. Firman who realized that, he just smiled and then continued the journey to the school where Samira was at school.
