Outside the house Aping sat in a long chair. Tonight the stars are dotting the sky. Aping stared at the serenity.Many things were on his mind. Cita - the mind he wants to pursue. Getting a scholarship and studying in London became his dream.The shadow of his father's face appeared in the sky that night. Remembering clearly the last message his father said before leaving Aping forever.
That reach for your mind, hold this world as you hold your lover.
Aping did not fully understand what his father meant. But surely Aping will achieve his dream.
"Ping" called his mother.
"Yes ma'am," Aping turned to see a ray of unease in his mother's eyes.
"Did you miss your father?" looking up at the sky that night.
"Yes, Aping misses you."
"So that's what you want Ping to do, you can only give your do'a and your blessing" while hugging Aping.
The hug felt very warm. I'm not usually this kind of mother. Maybe I miss my dad too. Thought Aping.
"Aping you have to be a strong boy huh?"
"What did you say?" tanya Aping did not understand the purpose of her mother's conversation.
"Why hasn't Ping eaten yet?"
"Udah kok ma'am," looked back at the sky.
"Have you quit your job at the Ping store?It's been a few weeks since I saw you don't go to the store anymore?"
"Aping has stopped mom and Aping has gotten a job that's bigger than his salary."
His mother frowned but did not ask back because she believed that Aping was responsible for what he did. Pride enveloped his heart saw his son grow into an independent person.Without hanging on to his parents.
"Here Ping I want to hug you."
Aping was astonished not as usual his mother like this. But no matter what he obeyed. They hugged each other tightly . Aping felt an overwhelming affection from his mother.Aping promised his father to take care of his mother.
*****
Tomorrow Aping a little lazy - lazy to go to school. I don't know why it feels like being home.
"Yes ma'am" with a giant step Aping approached his mother after completing his morning ritual. Aping who was already wearing a school uniform followed his mother for breakfast at the dinner table.
"Eat this special fried rice ping for Aping dear mother," while offering a plate of fried rice to Aping.
Aping received it and ate his mother's fried rice. I don't think it's asked. Justjust wonderful. Aping unceasingly fed rice into his mouth until it was not left on his plate.
Seeing that his mother smiled happily.
"Eating slowly Ping kayak of fried rice made by the last mother is still a lot," pointed towards the fryer.
Aping just laughed.
"You brought the stuff Ping fried rice?"
"May you mom."
Finally two packs of rice were given to Aping.
"Two ma'am's?" ask Aping wonder.
"One for your friends is also not papa Ping, some mothers may not spend everything alone."
"Yes, ma'am, that's why Aping left, ma'am?" Aping kissed the back of his mother's hand.
"Yes Ping heart - heart huh?"
Aping nodded and started walking towards the exit. But his steps stopped when his mother called.
"Ping's." Aping.
"Why mom?"
Aping was surprised by the reason by arriving - his mother hugged him.
"Don't speed" said his mother.
Aping nodded and began to slowly advance his motor.
