Blue Wound

44. Alisha's friend

At one hospital in Jakarta, a man had just entered the room of a woman lying helplessly with various hoses attached to her body.

The regret he felt at this time, as if making want to turn back time to repeat all that he could not do to the figure of the woman he loved so much.

Because of his selfishness, all of this happened, he lost the one person he loved all this time, who always sacrificed and fought for him.

But it's too late, only regret is left. And only prayer can he say that God will give a sacrifice to his life.

                                       ***

Simple small house that hanga made of boards that have begun to be brittle eaten time which is located on the edge of the river with a heavy flow because it is rainy season.

"assalamualaikum, mom....

" haalaikumussalam, sasa . You home?" asked the woman who was a little old, a frown that began to be painted on her tired face, welcomed her son's return with a glass of water in his right hand given to his daughter.

Blue was filled with the scenery in front of him, there were still many people who did not have much money, but they were happy with their lives with family.

" who is this?  " ask the new mother who saw the existence of blue and alisha.

" this is sasa's friend and this is his mother." sasa replied pointing them one by one.

" i'm blue ma'am, this is my son alisha. His classmate sasa. "the blue greeting extended his hand.

" i'm ratna's mother. Let's go in. "pinta bu ratna let blue and alisha into her house.

" sorry yes blue deck, the house is like this. please sit "timpal bu ratna smiled gently.

" no papa kok ma'am" said blue smiling

" this is please drink, the presence of warm tea only. "said mama ratna give two glasses of warm tea water on blue and alisha.

" thank you ma'am. "

"alisha, play with sasa yuk. " invite sasa to take alisha to her room.

Alisha followed sasa with a happy smile.

" i'm sorry mom, what's her work mom? " tanya blue opened the chat.

" mama mah, every day nyari used goods, which are then sold again.  Not bad, rather than begging the deck. "tut bu ratna smiled

One lesson that blue can get, in fact, treasure does not guarantee happiness. The important thing is to live simply with loved ones.

" sasa's father where's mom? "

" work outside the city blue deck, have long been unable to go home. Well, the blue deck knows for itself how difficult it is to find sustenance in the city of people, especially if the father is only a graduate. " said ratna's mother glazed considering her husband who had not come home for a long time because of cost problems.

" i'm sorry ma'am, if my question makes my mother sad. " said the blue grasping the hand of ma'am ratna.

" no blue deck, mother has been sincere with the way of life of the mother at this time, which surely mother always pray that the father there is fine and can go home. " ratna couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

Blue understands very well what is felt by ma'am ratna today, living far away without a husband in this big city.

" patience ma'am, God will soon be given sustenance by God so that he can go home quickly. "

"aamiinu. Thanks for the blue deck.  Blue deck husband is very lucky to have a good wife like you. "

" i'm a widow, 6 years ago. Alisha's father doesn't know where she is now. Hufftt, even though I also want alisha to meet her real father.  But, it seems like God has other plans for alisha later on. "the blue speech smiled gently.

Although at first it feels heavy living a life without a husband especially when the blue is pregnant. But now everything is going very well now, after the blue had to go through the pain and fatigue and now the blue happy laughter got with alisha.

" mom salute you ."

Teng.. Teng... Teng..  Meatballs..  Meatballs.. Meatballs

The cry of the meatball seller sounded loud in the settlement.

" mother, alisha wants meatballs. "pinta alisha who stands in front of the sasa room door which is not far from the blue seat.

" let the mother buyin" said ratna's mother get up from her seat.

" mom ratna, let me buy it. I just wait here , I don't want to bother you. "prevent blue with soft speech as possible so as not to hurt the feelings of ma'am ratna.

" yes, that's it. "

Blue slightly ran after the meatballs who were already a little away from the ratna house.

" lunch mba, how many packages?  " ask the meatball brother kindly on the blue.

" 6 packs of bang. Saos, soy sauce ,sambel the same sauce please separate. "blue ink on the seller

" ready to mba.

30 Minutes later...

"maksih ya bang, here's the money. "say blue while handing over the money 100 thousand.

" both mba, the change is 34 thousand yes mba. "the brother of the meatballs handed his change to blue.

" the change is for brother only. "the blue word refused, then excuse me to go back to the ratna house.

"thank you mba." said the meatball brother excited

While blue only smiles as a "yes" speech on the terimaksih brother meatballs.

" allhamdulilah, the sustenance of the child sholeh." said the brother while pushing his cart back to continue the journey.

Arriving at the ratna house, blue is shown a happy laugh from the tiny lips of alisha along with sasa and bu ratna.

" assalamualaikum's. "

the blue greeting made everyone turn their heads, especially Alisha who immediately ran towards the blue.

" mom, have you bought a meatball for alisha, sasa sasa sama mama ?

" already dong son, this please give to the mother. "the word blue handed a small pouch containing crackers on alisha.

Little Alisha ran to hand over the bag of crackers to Ratna's mother who was smiling anxiously at alisha.

After receiving a packet of crackers from alisha, ratna went into the kitchen to retrieve the bowl.

" Mom, how are the bowls two? This I also bought for the same mother sasa. "the word blue put the bag.

" don't need a blue deck, just make you guys." reject ratna's mom

"mom, you'll never eat it."

Ratna went back to the kitchen to get a bowl and a spoon.

" this is for ratna ma'am. "the word blue handed all the meatballs that are still warm to ratna ma'am who just arrived from the kitchen.

" it's for sasa and it's for alisha. "

Blue again handed a bowl of meatballs to alisha and sasa.

" let's eat, don't forget to read the prayer." blue advice on alisha and sasa.

After spending all the meatballs and sauce, they continued the chat for a while , let's be well mom-emak if you've met, waduh until forget everything.

" it's late afternoon ma'am, I say the same alisha.  Thank you for the advice my mother gave me. "the blue words ended their conversation

" yes blue deck, same.  Thank you for playing in my ugly house. "

" not the mom.  Oh yes this is a little parcel for mom sasa. And this is what I save for my fare if I want to go home." said blue gave the envelope to ma'am ratna.

"god, thank you blue deck."

" same mom. Mother same sasa can come to my small shop if there is time, this is the address. "blue give a business card to ma'am ratna.

" insaallah."

" alisha, we go home yuk, it's late afternoon son. " invite blue to alisha who is still fun playing with sasa.

" yes mother. Sasa, I'm going home first.  Tomorrow we play again at school "alisha said to sasa.

" yes. "

The blue and alisha are said to return to mother ratna and sasa. After previously blue gave a pair of shoes on sasa who seemed to like it.

Today blue gets a lot of lessons from ma'am ratna, despite living without the jumbled treasures but compassion can beat everything to be happy.
