DON'T GIVE UP
THE WOUNDED HEART
As the day wore on, the birds flew to their nests and the people had returned home from farming. At that time there were parents who were worried because their children did not come home.
" Izal, where? He's usually home this afternoon." Said my mother at home waiting for my return with an anxious look on her face.
Mother was pacing in and out of the house because it was getting dark. Suddenly the mother saw the ayu who was walking towards the mosque in front, then the mother called the ayu who was walking.
"De ayu de ayu." Call my mom to ayu.
Ayu who can chat with her friends then immediately looked and left her friend.
"E. You go first yes, I'm going to ike's mom first." His passion for his friend.
"Yes, I'm first." The reply.
Then ayu approached the mother who was worried about something in front of her door.
" What's wrong mom?" He wondered at her for calling her.
"De ayu, see Afrizal?" My mother said to ayu.
" If Afrizal hm ayu don't see mom. Why why?" He came back wanting to know what happened.
" Afrizal... Haven't gone to school yet, maghrib." Answer with worry.
" Afrizal hasn't come home yet?" Ask ayu.
" Yes de ayu, I'm afraid there's nothing going on with Afrizal." He answered with his face getting more anxious. Ayu was silent for a moment because she did not know what to do.
" Maybe he's studying group at his friend's house, ma'am, so Afrizal came home late." Say ayu while calming an increasingly anxious mother.
" Oh yeah, maybe." Mother also calmed down.
"Mother, we pray at the mosque. In a moment, want this maghrib. I don't worry about Afrizal, Afrizal is a strong person so I'm calm most after Maghrib comes home." Say to the mother who is starting to calm down.
" Yes yu, my mother was too worried about Afrizal, maybe she was studying at her friend's house and coming home after Maghrib." My mother spoke in the words of ayu.
" Mom want to take mother first ya yu, mother wants to go to the mosque." Further.
I am glad my mother is calm again.
"Good ma'am, ayu wait here yeah." Said ayu to mother with her sweet smile.
However, when my mother wants to go into the house. I have arrived home delivered by the great and behind him is faraz.
" Assalamualaikum." Greetings to my mother and the lady in front of the house.
Mom and Ayu looked at me in shock at my wounded condition. My mother ran straight towards me and shed her tears.
" Afrizal, why are you?" Mother immediately held onto my face that had been battered by the blow of dio.
" Mom, Afrizal was beaten up by his schoolmate ma'am." The word great explains what happened to me. But she didn't listen to him because he was crying and hugging me.
Ayu was just silent to see me with a wounded condition. Ayu approached me slowly and said, "zal, why are you so rich?" From her teary eyes I could not bear to see I was hurt.
" Come on, please take it to the room." My mother said to the great and the faraz.
"Yes ma'am." The great rushed to lead me into the house. Unlike the faraz, he just kept looking at the ayu without helping the majestic.
Mother and majesty led me into the room and put me on the bed.
"Sh sh." I was in pain when I was lying on the bed.
Ayu who previously wanted to go to the mosque then put her prayer mat and mukena in the chair in the guest room. And heading to the bathroom took cold water and took warm water from the teapot but the teapot was empty.
Then ayu asked mother, "mommy, where is the warm water?"
" In the blue flask." Answer the mother from the room.
Ayu rushed to find the flask in the kitchen.
My mother cried not to believe what happened to her son.
" It's izal ma'am's fault." Answer's short.
Faraz and regal just kept quiet outside the room. Then, come ayu from behind carrying warm water and towels in the basin.
" I'm sorry mom, this is the warm water." Ayu immediately handed it to the mother who was beside me. She immediately received the warm water she brought.
Great and Faraz just kept silent looking at me from outside the room.
Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar...
The voice of adzan maghrib began to be heard, the wood immediately asked for permission to go to the mosque to the mother.
"Mom, pray first." His interest in mother.
"Yes, thank you so much." The reply.
Ayu went out of the room and took her face to the table. The eyes of the faraz are always fixed on the ayu that will come out. At the same time, too good to go home.
"Mom, we're going home ma'am." Call him to my mother who is cleaning the ground in my hand.
"You going home now? Not at the mosque first?" The reply.
"Ah, ma'am at home. Fearful our parents are also nyariin." The word is great because he also does not want his parents to worry about him.
"Oh yes mas, thank you very much already deliver izal to the house." He said as he approached them.
"Izal, we go home first." Say hello to me who is lying on the bed.
" Yes, thank you for helping me." Answer me with a smile on them.
They kissed my mother's hand and walked out of the house.
" Assalamualaikum ma'am, we say yes first." Greetings to my mother in front of the house.
"Wa'alaikum hail, thank you." Mother said in front of the house.
They both headed to their bikes and drove to their homes. After that, my mother went straight into the house and approached me.
Mother continued to clean the dirt on my body because of bruises all over the body, I also felt the pain from the warm water.
"Oh yeah." Grimacing pain.
Mom asked me "why can you be like this? Why are you hurt and your uniform is all dirty?."
I was confused as to what to answer because I did not want my personal problems with dio to be known by my mother. If you knew maybe she would report this matter to my principal.
"Ouch..." At the moment when I thought of what was the appropriate answer, I was shocked because of my mother who was cleaning my hands.
" Am sorry, son. You're too nekan, aren't you?" Mother said with an anxious face to me.
"No, ma'am, I was just shocked." My answer.
"Ooh." Mom said as she squeezed the towel filled with water and directly touched my bruised body.
From this incident, I think that the mother is the only helper when her child is experiencing distress or loneliness. He was always there when I needed him but when he needed me, I was always missing from him. I promise I will make you happy, mom, even though I have to work hard and my body hurts all, that's because I want to see a beautiful mother's smile.
I was disappointed today, I broke my heart when I was brought by two of my friends, Tears almost flowed the first time I saw me like this. His sincerity in his son will not wear off forever.
" Daughter, you want to continue to study hard and achieve your goals! Look for a woman who can make you happy not like your mother." He said it to me while cleaning my face.
" Don't be like mom? What does ma mean?" Ask me astonishment. My mother stopped cleaning my face.
" I'm sorry, son, I couldn't do more to make you happy. I just want you to live happily later because now you have experienced hardship, I don't want you to later also experience this kind of distress." Mother replied with teary eyes that made me grieve.
"God willing, ma'am, I will fight for my mother and for myself." I answered with complete confidence.
After that my mother came up to me and hugged me tightly, I also hugged her tightly. My mother cried while hugging me somehow my mind felt guilty for making my mother cry like this.
