I'm The One You Throw Out

Mother Prayer

Things get better and quiet, the days of Seira and family are no longer haunted by fear. Naina and Lita are more cheerful to live life despite being just two, and Zafran has peace in his heart. Khusyuk prayed for ridho and maghfirah from Yang Esa.

There, in another part of the city, an elderly woman was holding her hand on her wheelchair. The lonely night there was no sound other than the night animals that enlivened, he cried softly.

Calling for an unbridled longing for the baby who has long not visited his eyes.

Dear God, please take care of my son wherever he is. Lift the disease, give him happiness. Open the hearts of those who have been hurt by him to sincerely forgive. Forgive my son's sins, O God. Forgive sins.

She cried alone in her room. Almost every night, he never went through it without respecting God. Mother has perfected her faith and Islam, by closing the aurat perfectly.

Outside, nurse Ida who accidentally passed in front of her room stopped her steps when she heard Mom's shrill cry. He brought his ears closer to the door to make sure his hearing was not wrong.

"Why are you crying? Is he sick, huh?" muttered worriedly.

He opened the door to Mom's room quietly, gawking in to make sure she was okay. Because he didn't look sick this afternoon. Nurse Ida looked down at the old woman in the wheelchair, she was praying fervently.

I don't know what only he knows. Ida entered Mother's room moments after the elderly woman rubbed her hands against her face despite shaking and difficult to do.

He stood behind Mom's wheelchair, rubbing both of her frail shoulders attentively. Ida walked to the side, crouching in front of Mother who was still crying.

"What's up, Mom? I'm fine, aren't I?" ask her gently.

It's lucky, on the beach mommy got Ida as her nurse. She is a kind and caring woman. Understanding, and never raise his voice in front of Mother or other parents.

Mother shook her head, her lips twitched wanting to talk, but was unable to. Can only fold it while continuing to tear. His trembling hand raised gave Ida a photograph to look at.

Ida received the paper and turned it over. He smiled when he saw a picture of a handsome man with strong stature, but not the man who drove Mom yesterday to the place.

"Is this Mom's son?" tanyakanya.

Mom nodded her head slowly.

"Mother misses, yes, same mother?"

Mother nodded back answering her question.

"Want to see your son?"

Again, nodding my head answered.

"Do you know where your son is now, maybe I can get you to meet him," he asked again giving hope to the old heart of Mother who had been dead for a long time.

Mother nodded with a smile, her heart pleased that the kind nurse was going to take her to Zafran.

"Mmm ... a minute, yeah."

Ida came out confused where the address of the child's whereabouts. Ask Mom for nothing, because the old woman won't be able to answer. Before long, the woman returned to Mom's room with a piece of paper in hand.

That's map.

Ida stretched the map over the mother's bed, a map of the city they lived in. Ask your mother to indicate where the child's address is after briefly explaining the location on the map.

"Now show me where's Mom's son's house?"

Mom's shaking hands began to lift and touch the surface of the paper. Upon reaching a building resembling a hospital, Mom's hand stopped.

"Hospital?" Ida looked at Mom confused, but Mom's nod of the head answered her question.

"Working mom's son in the hospital?" ask again.

I shook my head this time. The two ends of Ida's bushy eyebrows clashed until there was no distance separating.

"Don't you mean she works there?"

Mother nodded. His tongue itching to speak, his lips kept twitching incessantly. It felt like telling the woman about Zafran's current condition.

"So she doesn't work there what she does ...." Ida's words hung down followed by her lips which she bit strongly.

His face looked up at Mother, the old woman nodded as she broke into tears.

"I'm sorry, but I don't want to make you sad, I really don't know about this. I'm sorry, Mom. Don't cry, tomorrow I'll have the same permission from the head of the parlour to take Mom to the hospital. Now you should go to bed immediately so that tomorrow looks fresher," he said to calm Mother's heart.

Mother nodded in agreement, her heart was happy not to play. The smile on the lips continued to be etched, impatiently waiting for the next day to arrive. He lay obediently, for the sake of meeting his son, that night Mother slept faster.

Ida covers Mom's body, stroking her all-white hair before leaving Mom's room.

"Yes!" A voice rebuked him.

Ida turned around and found a middle-aged woman who was none other than the head of the parlour.

"Mother, why are you here? Don't you have to sleep?" say Ida gently.

The woman smiled, taking a step closer to her diligent and non-complaining worker. He was new to the parlor, but was already a role model for other workers. A good example for all the colleagues who work there.

"I've been horrified by your chat, you can take the mother to meet her son. It'll be a reward farm for you, son. Happy for someone let alone a mother her reward is very large. Do not delay the good if it has come. Do it as soon as possible before the regret comes," said the woman as she clasped Ida's hand and patted him.

Ida smiled, nodding surely after hearing his advice. They split up, Ida went back into the room and thought about tomorrow's plans.

*****

On the same night, in a different place, Seira was gathering with her little family. There was also Bi Sari and Ibu who came to visit to make sure that Rayan was okay.

"Rayan's happy to see Dad, huh?" tanya Biya teases.

The boy nodded his head without turning his face away from the toy.

"How about Papah?" Biya pouted sadly. He looked at his brother who was talking to the parents.

"Isn't he? Yeah, not how, Aunty. Papah will remain Rayan's papa, dong. Only now Rayan so have two papah. One Father, one more Papah" the boy replied with a big smile.

Biya snorted, turning her face away from Rayan in annoyance.

"Well, Sunday can't Rayan play with Dad? Same Papah too? It must be exciting to play ball together," shouted Rayan to make all heads turned towards him.

Seira was stunned, glancing at Fatih unwell. Worried that the man was uncomfortable with Rayan's request.

"Ok, who's afraid! But Mamah remained at home" Fatih said as she glanced at Seira and smiled strangely at her.

"Horay!"

Joyful of Rayan's heart, Seira smiled. He will obey Fatih's orders to stay home.
