A Will From Mama

These past few days, I have been feeling uneasy. My sleep is not good either. Every day in almost a month, I always dream of meeting a girl who used to come to me in a dream before I moved here. But after moving here I just dreamed about him again this time. In addition, I also dream of meeting my mother who wants me to go home soon.

When I finished teaching at dawn, I stayed in the mosque. I wonder what really happened to my family. I've been thinking about my dreams lately.

" Daughter" call Abah and sit next to me

"Yes bah"

"Come home, your mom needs you"

"......."

"I know for a few days you always dream of meeting a woman and your mama"

" Well, Abah knows what my dream means"

"The woman is your future wife. As for your mama, she wants you to come home soon. And marry the woman in your dream. Your mom's age is not long. He's waiting for you to come home"

my tears slowly came down.

Cring.... Crings...... Crings......

I saw who called and I went to Abah to pick up the phone.

After a long time I talked to someone who called me. He disconnected the call after he finished delivering the news that made me even sadder.

The one who called me was a flower. He told me that my mother's condition was getting worse and my father told me to go home soon.

"Who called you son"

"Bah flowers"

"He told your mama how and told you to go home"

"Yes bah"

"This is what Abah feared all along. Why did Abah forbid you to stay here. But since your mom and dad bless you, Abah bless you too"

"Come home, and follow your mother's request. "

"All right, I'll be home soon. I'm sorry if I've been troubling Abah for as long as I'm here."

"You are not troublesome but you have meritorious. Don't forget Abah's advice and take good care of yourself"

"Yes bah, then I say goodbye. Assalamualaikum...."

"Marine....."

After I Abah told me to go home. I immediately say goodbye to him. And I cleaned up all my stuff. I also booked a flight to go home. Because I graduated so long ago, it didn't take me long to finish my papers.

After everything was done and I felt like nothing was left behind. I'm going to the airport to go back to Indonesia.

********************************

During the journey my mind was also not calm. My feelings are getting messy but I try to stay strong and patient.

Abah also told me about who the woman in my dreams was. He told me to meet him soon. And give all the information about her.

I read every letter Abah gave me. Where Abah gave me messages and what I should do.

My journey is long. After the plane I landed. I immediately found a taxi to take me to the hospital.

Because none of my family told me I was going home today. Be nobody to pick me up. Because I know they must all accompany mom. And I'm the only one who hasn't been next to Mama.

The taxi I was riding in stopped in front of the hospital where Mom was being treated. I got down and told the taxi driver to take my things home.

I asked where my mom was being treated. I've forgotten a little about the location of this hospital. Because I was in too much of a hurry, I was wrong to enter someone else's room. Several times I was wrong, I finally found the room where my mother was taken care of.

My steps slowly began to slow down. Unlike before, I really can't see the state of my mother. Because I don't want to waste any more time. I forced my feet to step up and opened the door. And I fell silent at the door to see the state of my mother.
