I'm Fragile, Lord

Anna's Mother's Funeral

In the morning all the surrounding residents flocked to visit Mother Anna Talita's mother. All said condolences for the passing of Anna's mother.

Do not forget to put the money in a jar covered with white cloth. This is done for the sympathy and condolences of the local community.

Only sobs came out of Talita's mouth. She was confused as to how she would be if her mother were no longer in this world. Only his mother is the source of his power.

Talita strengthened her heart, but she couldn't. She was crying, her tears would not stop.

"Oh my God, I can't stand your trials. I know I have to be patient, but my patience is not as great as the Prophet Job who was given trials repeatedly can still be patient" isak Talita held back his sorrow.

Everyone at Talita's house came and gave Talita strength and support. They hugged and asked Talita to be patient.

They hug him and some even give an envelope for Talita so that it can be used for Talita later.

Talita was so sad to see her mother bathed, in the cafeteria and taken to the grave next to her father.

Talita is now an orphan. All the citizens mourned so touched his heart to see a child of Talita's age who struggled alone at a very young age.

Talita resigned to her circumstances, this is the destiny she must accept. In the future he thought he would never stay in this house again. But Talita has a responsibility with the chay fruit that will soon be harvested.

Inevitably he had to wait until the harvest time of the chay fruit was done then he would leave this house.

His mother's body was buried next to his father's tomb.

Talita prayed to her father and mother's salvation. He hoped that his Father and Mother would be spared the torment of the grave even in the light of his grave.

Talita read Alfatihah and guaranteed it. Talita has not moved from her mother's grave. He could only pray and continue to pray.

Ma'am Mey who saw him so pity, Bu Mey invited him to his house.

"Come, Son. The day is getting late, please let your mother go hopefully the road will be smooth and there are no obstacles"

"Mom, Talita still wants to be here ma'am. Talita will go to Bu Mey's house later" Talita said lethargicly.

"But son, it's late afternoon. Better pray Ashar and pray for your mother and father"

"Good Mom"

"Mom, Talita go first. Tomorrow Talita will come back to see Father and Mother"

Talita and Ma'am Mey leave the grave and Ma'am Mey invites him to live with her. Ms. Mey doesn't want Talita alone, Om Felix to come bothering her again.

"You while living with Mom yes, Auntie is afraid that if you live alone it will be dangerous to come to Om Felix later Nak"

"Yes Ma'am, Talita wants to temporarily stay at Bu Mey's house"

Ms. Mey already thinks of Talita as her child. Moreover, she had no daughter, it was better to regard Talita as her daughter.

Talita and Ms. Mey walk towards Ms. Mey's house. On the way, Om Felix sees Talita entering Bu Mey's house.

"Why did the boy go to Mr. Sobry's house? Is not enough of a lesson I gave Mr. Sobry that he still wants to interfere with Talita's life"

"One Mosquito has been removed there are still other mosquitoes that interfere" said Om Felix

The Flasback

That night when Om Felix saw Talita to the house of Mr. Mantri. Felix came straight to Anna's mother's house.

"How sick" said Om Felix grabbed the hair of Anna's mother Talita.

"You'd better die and I'll sell your son to my Aunt Ira"

Anna's mother was just crying and her lips were locked tightly

"Evil you Felix, how evil you are to us, what is our fault" said Mother Anna.

"Hurry you die, so that my wish is achieved" said Om Felix with a sly grin on his lips.

Anna's convulsing mother was increasingly unable to breathe. Just 5 minutes his body had stiffened and was no longer breathing.

"Whuahahaha, finally"

Om Felix came out of the house with a bright face. His desire to earn money is one step away.

Om Felix leaves Anna's lifeless mother.

Off Flasback.

"What should I do to get Talita away from Mother Mey's house huh" muttered Om Felix while thinking about her evil plan.

Om Felix immediately went to Mr. Sobry's house. He doesn't want his wishes blocked anymore. Tomorrow he has to get money to pay his judiciary.

Om Felix knocked on Mr. Sobry's door.

Tok. tok...

"What are you doing here Felix" said Ms. Mey.

Talita who heard Om Felix coming to Bu Mey's house immediately went into hiding for fear of Om Felix's behavior.

"I want Talita to stay in our house, you don't interfere. Otherwise, you will lose your home. I'm going to burn it" said Om Felix, showing him a gasoline engine.

"You're not in your right mind, Felix, I'll report you to Mr. RT if you're desperate to burn down our house"

"Before you reach Mr. RT's house, your house will run out with your husband and Talita inside"

"Talita, get out!!" Shouted Om Felix.

"Don't kid, Om please don't come out" said Mr. Sobry with tears on his cheeks. Mr. Sobry can't do anything. His feet were still unable to walk perfectly, his feet were still weak.

"But Om, later Om Felix will recklessly burn his house Om later and that Talita does not want to happen"

"It's better Talita goes with Om Felix alone, no problem Om. Don't worry Talita"

"Talita out you, otherwise don't blame Om if this house burns out" cried Om Felix.

"You're out of your mind, Felix, stop it" Ms. Mey tried to hold her hand that held onto a pinch of gasoline.

"Talita has to come out Om, thank you for inviting Talita to stay here"

Talita walks slowly towards Om Felix and Bu Mey.

"Stop Om, Talita will come with Om Felix as long as you don't bother Bu Mey and Mr. Sobry"

"Well, that's a smart girl. If you are obedient then everything will be safe" said Om Felix with a smile.

"You evil Felix, you've tortured orphans. You'll get the reward later"

"The lecture is in the mosque only, ma'am. Comeing! you're coming with me" snapped Om Felix.

Om Felix dragged Talita by force. Talita can't do anything like Mey's mom.

"I'm sorry, Son. Forgive us" said Mr. Sobry and Mr. Mey together with the roar of tears on the cheeks.

It's sad to see a child become a slave to an irresponsible person like Felix.

Only Allah can repay them, and they are so weak to see the powerlessness of Talita.

Talita is resigned to her life and her destiny now.
