AXILLAGES

FATE ARSILLA

I walked down the aisle of my hospital past the people who were there. I'm so SCREWED today, I don't know what to say right now! Everything becomes one!

"Ma.ra..." I stopped my steps and saw my brother standing in front of the hospital room door with my father.

"Sila" Maura hugged me tight.

"To.. why?" I took off Maura's embrace and looked at her.

"Mama koma sil" my eyes round I fell and sat in front of the ER door.

"Why can raa??" Ask Maura who is sitting next to me..

"Mama had an elevator accident at the mall while I was away" explained Maura.

"Lord...!!!!" I ruffled my sign in frustration.

"Gue survived but mama must be wretched for my sake" Maura embraced me, my tears flowing very fast. Seeing my beloved mother had to lie in the hospital with a lot of hospital equipment. Papa's? Just like I can only wait for the results of the doctor or surrender to God.

"Lo relax! We'll wait for the doctor to come out of that room"

I am naughty but believe I still obey my parents and still love them both.

Finally the long-awaited. The doctor dressed in a white suit was gone. I hope God hears my prayer.

"Where is my wife doc?" Ask papa to panic.

"Yes doc! How's our mom doing?" Maura stood beside papa.

"I'm sorry... We've been trying to get God to do something else" the doctor lowered his head in a sign of resignation.

"Doctor mean?" I cut the conversation.

"Your mother has gone to God"

"Ga.. no. No doc!"

"Doctors lie, right?!"

"You can't die, Doc!"

Maura held me back who lost consciousness.

"Sills.... Enough silll.... You need to calm down!"

"Son Ra! Mama can't leave!"

"Crazy!"

"Please, you're not the only one who lost me and Papa too!"

Papa hugged us both.

"Pa...."

"Yes please.... It's true your sister said we lost mama for good"

Papa hugged us both very tightly, it felt like I was not ready to accept the reality of God.

Just like us the man shed tears but he tried hard for the sake of his son.

"Papa love you guys"

"You must be patient and strong!"

"Paa..... Please not ready yet...."

I let go of the hug and looked fixedly at the middle-aged man.

"You're strong"

"You must be strong"

"You can"

"Yes sil... There's me and papa..."

"We have to let my mom go...."

Again the tears fell I entered the room there was my naked body that was weakest and stiffest in a long white cloth.

"Yes...." I tried hard and opened the cloth slowly. But my results are weak! Those tears just fell on my cheek. All women will cry if they see someone dear leaving!

"Ma... I'm sorry I haven't been able to make my mom happy." I hugged the stiff body but I tried not to shed my tears on my mom's body.

"I'm sincere ma.."

"Only time can we meet again..."

"Maa... I love my mom forever"

"I have to be strong to make my mom calm down there.."

"I'll remember what Mom said.."

"Be yourself and be useful to others"

"Let someone hate you because they're weak!"

"I love my mom ..."

Last hug for me.
