Do'A Simple Mother

Chapter 4 some groceries

a few minutes later, the mother entered her room and immediately rested on her soft mattress.

while I will take care of my groceries that I bought at the market, and immediately I go to the kitchen.

after in the kitchen I washed all vegetables and fruits to avoid street dust, finished washing I put it in Tupperware box.

now immediately I put it in the refrigerator to last longer, ready to be effective vegetables and fruits now I change to clean milk, instant noodles, kitchen spices and toiletries.

"Alhamdulillah .. is done all, so I can take a shower dong now .." I said while looking at the neatly arranged items.

I took a towel and headed to the bathroom.

after I finished the bath I was in my heart and combing my hair, I went out to the kitchen to cook something because I was so hungry.

"let me see if you're still sleeping!" I said, peeking at my mother's door.

"yes let mother rest my pity just as mother may she be very tired" I cried with a face of pity.

then I headed to the kitchen to cook fried rice and make ice milk tea, and fried rice and my ice milk tea so I headed to the dining room and sat down at the dinner table, I eat my food.

"Alhamdulillah .. I am full too" I said as I burped.

finished eating I immediately washed the dishes of my former meal earlier and finished washing the dishes I headed to the living room to relax.

sangking his satiety I fell asleep soundly on the living room sofa.

suddenly my mother was awake when I fell asleep in the living room, so sound my mother called me and not heard, mother tried to find me in my room was not there, it was not there, mother continued looking for me into the living room turned out she fell asleep.

" Oalah .. want you to fall asleep on the couch!" pukasnya while stroking my head.

"your son, must be tired because it has been a lot of groceries!" he said full of worry.

*******

Brak ..... Brakkkkkk ..

I was shocked to wake up from my sleep, because there was a loud sound from outside.

"what was that voice, what were you doing there?" I asked full of curiosity.

then I went out and looked for the source of the sound, apparently behind the house.

"what's mom doing there?" I said while looking at my mother.

"this is my mother's son is harvesting mangoes, sorry if you are disturbed because of the noise" he said, who always worried about me.

because the mangoes fell over the zinc roof behind the house, with a very large fruit and thick flesh, my mother harvested quite a lot of mangoes that are still raw and also ripe.

"Mom why harvest so much for what" I said looking at Mom.

"oh .. This is son, want mom to love the neighbors and make souvenirs for you" he looked back at me.

after harvesting I put it in a crackle bag and ready to share it with my neighbors.

"Mom I love Ms. Ina and the other neighbors .." I said as I carried a bag of crackles filled with mangoes.

departing from home to the house of Bu Ina whose house is next to my village, I rode a motorcycle and continued to other ² neighbors.

I also finished distributing mangoes I called my mother for lunch.

"Son ... Let's have lunch together, mom wait at the dinner table .." she said as she prepared the meal.

"em .. yes Ma'am well I will follow, but I want to take a shower first .." said me while heading to the bathroom.

continued after the shower I immediately changed clothes and headed to the dining table, because I was quite hungry so I ate take a lot of rice wkwk.

*****

the night came.

when I finished the magrib prayer I rushed to clean my clothes and other equipment for me to put in the suitcase, because tomorrow I will return to work in Jakarta.

it was hard to leave my mother at home, but I had to go back to Jakarta and continue working there.

"Sir ...!!"call me with a sad face.

"yes mother what is it, why is mother sad," I said while embracing mother's shoulder.

"mother is sad because tomorrow the mother is lonely again no you accompany her at home," she screeched with a sad face and shed tears.

"Mother do not be sad, Mom I will return tomorrow behind the work of prayer that I will be given health and mother there I pray that mother will be given health and long life barokah sustenance," I said with a sad face to part with my mother again.

"Aamiin .. dear mother is as happy as my son, he said as he hugged me lovingly.

"mother now rest first, mother was tired of the harvest of mango and clean the backyard," said I while looking at mother.

she nodded her head and went to her room.

while I will continue some of my goods, after packing I close the living room door, turn off the lights and close the mosquito net curtains.

I went to the kitchen to wash the dishes from dinner last night and to the bathroom to get some water and then to pray.

after the prayer, I went straight to my room to rest, because tomorrow I have to go to the train station early in the morning.

Right at 04.00 wib or dawn I immediately wake up and take a shower and do dawn prayers at home.

I left the room because my mother had called me for breakfast and my mother brought provisions to take the trip back to Jakarta.

"Son .. let's have breakfast mom has cooked your favorite, oh .. yes this mom brought provisions to eat in the car so you are not hungry there on the way," he said as he stuffed the provisions into my bag.

"Mom I went back to Jakarta first yes, mother is good at home I miss you while there, I miss you, my prayers there were given health and I went home to bring what I wanted" choked with a sad face and tears.

"yes son .you there take good care of yourself, mother slalu pray for you, even though you are far in the eyes but she mother will never forget to always remember you," she was full of parting cries.
