Last Mate

24. The Warmth that is felt

"Mom, I'm going to the clinic first. Check my contents." said Arumi. He kissed his mother's hand before leaving.

Today Arumi intends to check the content, because until now he does not know the age of the womb and also whether the baby is healthy in the stomach.

"Uhukis.. Be careful, son. Mommy's medicine that has run out do not forget to buy, yes."

"Yes, Mom. I'm leaving now."

After saying goodbye, Arumi immediately left. Fortunately, the clinic is not too far from his home, only about 200 meters away. Riding on a neighbor's metic motorcycle that he had borrowed earlier, Arumi arrived at his destination.

In the clinic that Arumi came to was not crowded. There was a midwife and there were three female nurses. After registering, Arumi was invited to enter the room of a midwife named, Anis. Because there was no queue so he went straight in.

"Good morning, midwife." said Arumi. He sat down in the chair provided.

"Good morning, mom. Want a consultation or check the content?" ask Anis' midwife kindly.

"I want to check the content."

"Oh. Let's go ahead, get on the bed and lie there, I'll check."

Like the instructions of Anis' midwife, Arumi climbed up and lay on the bed. After that, Anis' midwife carried out an examination of her stomach. Before long the examination was completed and Arumi immediately went down, then returned to sit in the chair before.

"How's my fetus, midwife? Is it healthy?" ask Arumi.

"The mother had also seen when I did the ultrasound, the fetal development of the mother is very good and also healthy condition. Fetal age has entered 4 months."

Arumi smiled happily and stroked her stomach. He continues to listen to all instructions and tips to maintain the health of his fetus.

"Later I will prescribe vitamins to strengthen your content. Oh yeah, don't stress too much and think too much because it also affects the development of your fetus."

"Well I'll do what you advise. Thank you, midwife."

"Ah, yes, yes."

Arumi left immediately after he made up for the medicine for his mother and the vitamins he had prescribed. He returned to his metic motorbike and immediately went home.

After arriving home, Arumi immediately looked for her mother to inform her of the results of her examination earlier. "Sir.!" call Arumi. But there's no answer. He went to his mother's room, but nothing. Then he went to the kitchen and there was none. Arumi was worried about not finding her mother, either at home or outside the house.

However, his concern grew when he saw that his familiar feet were stuck in the bathroom door. Arumi immediately ran into the bathroom. How surprised he was, when he saw his mother lying weak there and unconscious.

Arumi calmed down and raised her mother's head. "Huhuhoo.. I'm up, Mom."

His tears were already unstoppable when he saw his mother's old body. He was very afraid that anything would happen to him and was very afraid of what he thought happened. Arumi tried to raise his mother alone but with his power that is not powerful he always failed.

"Hiks.hiks.. I'll wait here, I'll get help first." said Arumi. He immediately ran out and asked the neighbors for help.

Tok.dok..

"Sir Rahman, sir?"

Several times Arumi knocked on the door of her neighbor's house and finally opened. "Eh. Son Arumi, what's the cry like?" ask Mr. Rahman his neighbor. He was a little surprised to see Arumi's tears flowing continuously

"Hiks.. Mr. Rahman please help my mother, sir. Hicks.hiks."

"Mother fell in the bathroom, sir. I can't move mom, so I'm asking you for help."

"Yes God. Come on, let's go to your house now."

Arumi took Mr. Rahman to his house immediately. While on the road they meet neighbors who are passing by and ask for their help as well.

There were some people that Arumi had brought home. Arumi was endlessly crying like a child, as she watched her mother's body being lifted up and taken to the room.

Ningrum's body was already extremely cold. Arumi clasped her hands tightly and cried beside her. "Mom's up, Mom. Hix.. I've come home from checking my womb. Do you want to hear how it turned out? Get up quickly, Mom. Hicks.hiks.."

Arumi was very afraid of what would happen. Seeing the condition of his mother's body that was stiff and cold, he still did not want to believe it.

Mr. Rahman and some of the people who participated earlier, felt very concerned for Arumi who continued to roar beside her mother. His father had left him for a long time and now his mother had left him for good.

"Son Arumi, who's stoic huh. Ikhlaskan his mother's departure, so that the mother is calm." said Mr. Rahman.

Arumi shook her head trying not to believe what she had just heard. "No, Mr. Rahman. Mom is alive. Huhuhoo.. Mom just fainted. Isn't that right, Mom? Mom must have woken up, right? Huhuhoo.."

"Son Arumi, I hope you believe that your mother is dead."

"No, Sir. How could my mother die? Clearly, it was healthy. I just fainted."

Arumi clutched her mother's cold body and continued to cry. Mr. Rahman bingun had to say what else, finally he just instructed the neighbors to prepare a funeral. Seeing Arumi's condition, of course he took the initiative to help prepare the funeral.

Maybe because tired of crying to make Arumi fall unconscious. Fortunately, Mr. Rahman had called his wife and told her to accompany Arumi who looked very weak.

Mr. Rahman is Arumi's closest neighbor and is considered a brother. Mr. Rahman's family was very kind to his mother and often helped them in times of distress. So Mr. Rahman represents Arumi gathering the people around to bury his mother.

I don't know how long Arumi fainted and she finally woke up. Nearby is Ms. Hana, Mr. Rahman's wife. He was fanning Arumi with a fan made of rattan woven. Seeing that Arumi had opened her eyes, Ms. Hana felt very grateful.

"Sir Arumi, this is a drink first" said Ms. Hana. He held out a glass of water to Arumi.

Arumi received the glass and slowly drank it. After that, he saw his house so crowded by many people. He was confused why his house was so crowded, then he remembered his mother. His tears fell back unstoppably.

Ms. Hana hugged Arumi and cried too. It was as if she felt the sadness that Arumi felt. "Sirty Arumi is patient. Hix.. Give me my mother, pray that she will have her grave covered and be given a proper place there."

"Hiks.hiks.. I can't leave Arumi, Mom. Arumi will be alone in this world if you leave. Didn't you love Arumi so you left me too? Arumi was wrong, Arumi was wrong. Maybe because Arumi is always troublesome and troublesome mother so mother also goes right. Huhuhuhuhu."

"No dear your mother loves you very much. I know you're very fond of her too but God loves her more. Arumi must be patient, this is a test from God. Refresh your heart, dear. Remember all the creatures that exist in this world will surely die and return to His side."

All who came to serve also felt sad and sympathetic to the condition of Arumi who now no longer has parents. Pitying wait. After all the process is ready, then the body is brought to its final rest. Arumi also brought her mother to her final resting place.

Not wanting to believe all this, but what was happening before his eyes was the reality. So Arumi must how to reject that destiny. Of course he will not be able to, inevitably he must accept everything and mengikhlaskan the departure of his mother.

"Why? Why does all the sadness come in turn? Why do the people I love and love one by one have to leave me? I haven't even had a chance to make my parents happy, and now I've been left. Mother, truly forgive your child who has not thanked you for your sacrifice and struggle so far. I'm sorry to make you shed tears and always bother you. Mother though your body is buried but your soul is always in my heart. Hopefully with this you will no longer feel pain and feel the rigors of life today. Mom thanks. I love you mother."
