Lembayung Dusk
Do'a Mother Joins..
Twilight
If anyone asks me how I feel right now.. My heart was sliced to see Lembayung pleading and asking to extend the besuk time to the warden.
I saw her eyes glazed over and as if begging me to hug for a moment.
"Waaahhh our party... " The cheer bang Aman saw me take out boxes containing many foods that had been given by Lembayung. After I gave one box full of food to several guards who were on guard..
"Come on sir.aa all.. Thank God I have sustenance with food...." I said, the renegade made everyone in the cell cheer.
Everyone sat together and started eating cheerfully as if they had just gotten a good meal like this for the first time.. But it is so, in the toilet, if you want to get a luxurious and delicious food, you have to take out the pocket and buy it.
"Lo family is very good Ja.. demen nih I am rich gini.. rarely do kite-kite eat delicious ye ngga? " Bang Aman nudged the prisoner sitting next to him and he nodded his head in agreement. "This is what? rich kale.. but use sambel nih! " Tanya bang Aman was curious.
"Pelecing bang. Lombok special food, be careful pedes! "
"Mantaaap.. hmm. yummy! " Bang Aman ate with a big feed and was very greedy. Although his stature like a wrestler, but he is good and nurturing just like Mr. Arya. He said he was a native Betawi who again visited a family in Bandung who worked in an elite housing, ill-fated the former boxer had to languish here because he was caught in a difficult situation. When he was about to help guard the house owned by his brother's employer, the herd of robbers dispelled and to defend himself, he injured one of them until paralyzed.
"Lo must be a rich man lo. lo family can make a lot of good food rich gini. when I am not in prison I rarely eat these foods... " Candaan bang Aman suddenly made everyone in the cell laugh, and managed to make a warden approach and hit the iron trali repeatedly.
"Punteun sir.. " Said Mr. Arya apologized, another thing with the Aman bang.just the case that befell Mr. Arya is very concerning. Desperate for economic needs, he was forced to steal valuables at work, even though he had worked in the factory for years. Because of his small salary makes Pak Arya often ask for kasbon and at that time he did not get. Though the situation is urgent because his children need a fee to pay the tuition of the school exam.also the debt to the loan shark that entangles him makes him khilaf and desperate to do anything.
It's ironic that Mr. Arya has been in law for years. And he said this year will hopefully be the last year he is here.
While the corruptors in cell B , although in custody, sleep on soft mattresses, can still feel the good food, never cold, never hot. In their room there is AC, TV.always there is entertainment.Even in the prison they can still rule by hiring prisoners in corve cells that need money to survive here.
The gap was very felt and visible even though we are both here in prison.

Mom Twilight
If indeed this is the destiny that I have to live, then I will always accept with full resignation.I am again faced with a terrible situation.
Although sadness is inherent in my life, as a mother who wants to learn to be a good mother, I must be strong and strong in front of my child.
Today I'm going to swipe my son in the washcloth. After yesterday Lembayung who swiped it and brought him a lot of food.
Because now I live alone in her apartment. From the morning he was busy cleaning the usual room occupied by Lembayung, which would be my room.
I planned to make a cake for him, and for my fellow prisoners.
After I finished making the cake, I cleaned myself and dressed up. I opened a closet containing a lot of dark night dresses.. Close it tightly, then take a loose suit of foreskin pants and a peach-colored floral blouse of brown combination. Long look at yourself in the mirror..
By itself my hands were guided by my brain and my heart, taking the black pasmina of the gift from my beautiful and kind daughter-in-law.
Bissmillah..
I tied a long mane and braided it. I began to put the pasmina on my head to cover my crown. I was stunned.This was the first time I wore a hijab from the heart because of my own desires.
Is this what you call your guide?
This is the time for me to carry out my duties as a Muslim.
Time shows at half 2 pm, and I decided I would take a taxi there only, because if you take public transportation, not so know and memorize fear later even lost.
after 15 minutes of travel, I finally arrived at the yard where my son was held.
Long wait in the waiting room, finally a warden invited me to enter a room.
Deg.
We immediately threw away our faces.
Not out of hate or dislike, but I was really embarrassed and didn't know what to do.
"Ehh. Mom Twilight.. Assalamu'alaykum's chat..How are you doing? " His reprimand, salute me while bowing my face.
"Ba-good.. Thank God, let's sir.I go inside first." I say goodbye and go into the room.
Haaah.. I breathed deeply. That handsome figure was sitting waiting and smiling at me. There is no sadness or worry at all.
"Mother met Mr. Sharif ga bu? he just got out of here.. " Task Dusk with his innocent face whenever it is close to me.
My son, he really grew up to be a handsome young man. Why am I really paying attention now..
"Mom..momu? "
"Ehh. i-iyah. I just met you in front. " I answered wrong.
Why must wrong behavior?
Akh's.. Indrawati, come on you are old! what did you expect?
Like a big new kid!
"Sorry, Mom.. " My son grabbed both my hands and grabbed them. "Mafin Dusk has become a badung child and is not devoted to mothers.. Dusk sorry mom. "
I just smiled, in contrast to my sudden mood of grief hearing my son apologize.
"It's all mom's fault.. " I held his head.
"But Dusk is confused.How about the former boss mom? She was afraid that she would do evil again to her mother.. " The two eyes were glazed over.
"All are equal to God.. If only I had to go back to Mataram, I would have.. "
"Jangaaan.. Twilight don't want you to deal again same waji*** that! Dusk will definitely think about this problem.Most importantly now, Dusk really need do'a from the mother. "
He was silent for a moment.
"Pak Syarif also always prayed for Dusk ma'am. he had considered like his own parents. all this time, however naughty Dusk. Pak Syarif never judged.. he is very kind and loving and wise. "
I was pensive and stunned.
"You're fine here, yes.this mom makes sponge cake, share also make all your friends yes!" I put some white boxes on the table.
The twilight shone and looked at me deeply. "Thank you ma'am.. "
I'm nodding.
"Time out... " A warden approached and told him that the big time had run out.
"Momuu. 2 weeks starting the trial ma'am.. Dusk go inside first.. " He was dragged forcibly by the warden, and I could only be stunned to see him pass by the door.
My son. do'a mother is always with you.
