Suddenly the mobile phone on hp Ayu shook.
"There's a phone call, pick it up!" said Siti.
"Yes, yes...." Ayu then got up and took her cell phone on the table.
"Yes...."
"Father, quickly go home, mother died.." said her father interrupted Isak crying.
"What's? Mother...died?" Ayu directly entered her Handphone and took her bag running out.
Siti shocked.
But, Siti still had to finish her job because she had promised to send her goods today.
"Let me finish first. This is a little more" said Siti and did not go after Ayu.
"I'll go to Ayu's house after this is over" Siti said.
Ayu kept running out and tagged the taxi driver. He immediately got on the ojek with tears. I hope what he heard doesn't happen. This must not be true.
Ayu continued to wipe her tears throughout the journey. And the taxi driver saw it from the rearview mirror.
Ayu doesn't care, she just wants to go home soon and meet her mother.
When entering the yard, there are many people in the yard of his house. Some men were busy putting up trucks and mothers wearing black clothes gathered at his house.
"Mother....." Ayu shouted from outside and ran in through the crowd. Until in front of him shocked to see his mother was lying covered with white cloth. Only his face looked pale.
"Mother......" Ayu could not hold back her tears anymore. Seeing the person he loved so much now did not move anymore. Not looking at her with her smile, and not speaking gave her usual reassurance.
"Mother...." Ayu could only cry beside her mother's corpse. His father was devastated and is currently unconscious in his room.
"Dad..Where's dad?" ask Ayu.
"Your father, was with your uncle. She had been in shock and unconsciousness ever since" her aunt said.
"Mother...... How did it happen so quickly? You were okay.why did you suddenly leave.mom...." Ayu hugged her mother who could not hold her and calmed her down.
His mother who used to greet him with a smile on her lips is now gone. At the moment, she needs her mother. He still needs his advice and there is still much he wants to know about his life experience.
But now, his mother was no longer in this world.
"Said the doctor, your mother had a sudden heart attack" said her aunt.
"Mom has heart disease?" Ayu who had started to calm down, welcomed some guests who had come to see her mother one last time.
Ayu shook her head.
"No. Mother never said it," Ayu rubbed her tears again.
Her aunt hugged Ayu.
"That's what a mother looks like. She was afraid her son was worried and anxious. So they can't say what he's suffering. They chose to keep and not to worry everyone" said her aunt, who also kept her pain a secret from her children.
"Let's see a healthy and cheerful mother every day. Not once does it look sick," said Ayu.
"Because of your mother, try to keep smiling and cheerful so you don't get suspicious. You know, why did your mother find a mate so suddenly for you? Because he was worried about leaving you alone" said his aunt.
"Had Ayu known, Ayu would not be working today" Ayu said in her aunt's arms.
"If we all knew, then we would do our best for our families before we were gone, it would be fate. Life and death, God decides. So, we have to accept it sincerely, you're patient, son." said his aunt.
His father had come to his senses and was looking for Ayu.
"Your mother is gone for good." said her father hugged Ayu and they hugged each other.
Crying and not being able to say anything more.
At funerals.
Ayu was still sitting on the red earth where her mother was buried there.
Romi stood behind him with a black umbrella. Give him protection from the current heat of the sun.
I looked at Romi. Romi grabbed her shoulder and took her home.
"Come on, let's go home. You've been here hours. Look at your father, he's so anxious to see you like this" Romi told Ayu.
Ayu wakes up and Romi holds her hand.
"Let's go home, let your mother rest in peace. He'll be sad, seeing you like this. Remember everything that happened, you are patient" said Romi.
Finally Ayu wanted to go home after being persuaded by Romi.
A few days later. After the mourning period is over. Ayu returns to work and meets Siti.
"Well, we just got a little order today. If you want to rest, then let me finish this job," said Siti who still saw Ayu grieving.
"No. Just let me stay here. You know, at home, I always miss my mom. I can't stop crying looking at every corner of the house. Where the shadow of mother, is everywhere" said Ayu.
"Yes if so. Then you're just here. We'll solve this together" Siti said.
