Love of the Past

Be happy

Latitude POV

Where am I?

A huge flower garden lay before me. As far as the eye could see, there were only beautiful colorful flowers.

I started walking. I touched those pretty flowers, I enjoyed this beauty myself.

"Ma ...."

Who'sis that?

I look back immediately. A little girl in a white dress stood behind me with her very sweet smile.

"You ... that girl back then, right?" I remember her beautiful eyes and her smile.

He just smiled. He held out his hand to hold mine.

"Come on!" bring him.

"Where?"

"Come here."

I just followed him. We ran around and admired what we saw. Sometimes joking while laughing. I don't know him, but we feel very close.

I don't know how long we've been here. We've been running around and playing, joking too, but time doesn't seem to move at all. There is no morning, day or night. Tiredness never greeted our bodies.

The girl circled around, dancing among the flowers, befriending the butterflies flying around her. Suddenly he stopped his movement. He just stood up without moving a bit.

"Kok quit?" ask me while approaching towards him.

He looked at me and smiled.

"It looks like we have to deal with all of this, Ma," he said.

"Why?"

"My father and little sister need Mama more than I do."

"What are you talking about, anyway? Papa who? Whose little sister?" I frowned not understanding.

She placed a finger in front of her tiny lips, asking me not to make a sound.

"Darling, wake up. I miss hugging you."

Whose voice is that?

The voice continued to tell cheerfully, occasionally sounding a small ruckus.

I seem to know that voice.

"Honey, the eagle is getting bigger, you know. You don't want to carry? The doctor said, Your embrace is more effective than an incubator. Your hug is the most comfortable place for our son, also for me."

The hawk? Who's Eagle?

Our kid?

The word?

"That's ...," it felt like my throat was clogged with something.

"That's Papa," he said with a smile. "He loves you so much, Ma. And I know he loves me a lot too. Tell him I love him too. Thank you for your affection. Thanks for all the kisses. Thank you for all the stories too. I really like the story. If I'm given the chance once again, I'd be happy to be Mama and Papa's son."

I still don't understand what this girl is saying.

"Man, the lark continues, won't stop."

That's a vote ... Mama!

I looked to the right and to the left. Where is the owner of the voice?

"Ma! Mama! The word!" i'm yelling.

No one's saying.

"Go, Ma."

"Where should I go?" many confused.

The girl just smiled a little.

All the beautiful scenery in front of me instantly disappeared, including the beautiful Little Girl. Change the dark, without a single light. I was terrified of a great deal of fear. I try to walk in the dark. Suddenly my body felt pulled and thrown somewhere. My body felt stiff and could not be moved at all. I try to hold onto anything I can hold.

"Lin?" I heard the Word muttering.

"Man!" I'd love to answer, but I can't.

Everything's still dark. I couldn't open my eyes, it felt so heavy.

"Ma! Latitude reacts!" The Word screamed again.

"meaning?"

"Stars hold my hand, Ma!"

I can hear the talk of those who talk about me. But I can't do anything.

"Darling ... Honey, you hear me?" I felt his hand grab my hand.

"The cry goes on, dear. She needs you. Awake up!"

"Ma, please call the doctor, Ma," I still hear the Word.

Before long, there were many voices around me. I don't know what they're talking about, I can't hear it clearly.

Suddenly a baby's voice cries.

"Darling, did you hear? That's the voice of the Eagle, our son. Awake, Honey. Cassian she is."

The hawk?

Our kid?

My memories came back. I remember Angela torturing me and I was bleeding.

I think my chest almost exploded. I survived, and so did my baby. Yeah, baby!

Thank you God!

I have to get up! I have to get up!

I gave up all the energy I had, but it was hard to open my eyes. I tried to move my hand which felt to be tens of times heavier. Fail.

The baby's crying is getting louder.

"Mama's here, honey. Mama's here!" I shouted in my heart.

I tried my hardest to open my eyelids. I want to see my son.

"Yes, Honey. Open your eyes. The eagle is right here, next to you. Awake, Honey! Wake up!" the voice of the Word injected me with spirit.

With all the energy I had, I opened my eyes.

I heard my hysterical scream Mama. Also Mother's cry. The Word says hamdallah many times. He held my face and landed a lot of kisses there.

"Never leave me again, Lin. I can't live without you" she cried with tears in her eyes.

Word immediately pressed the call button again. Some doctors came. I don't know what they did to me. I can only surrender.

Long enough they examined me until finally the doctor said something to the Word that made his face sparkle.

I want to talk to him. But my throat hurt, plus the food hose coming in from my nose closed my esophagus.

"Man ...," my voice was barely audible.

"Yes, honey," The Word immediately grabbed my hand.

"A-nak ki-ta," I said with full struggle.

The nurse who had managed to calm her down pushed the incubator to my bedside.

I saw that little baby. My tears just flowed. A handsome little baby, with thick jet-black hair. His face is very similar to the Word. But the food hose and ventilator stuck to his body sliced my heart.

"The name is Eagle, honey. The Firmansyah Space Eagle. He looks like me, doesn't he?" The Word looks very happy.

"He was born with a weight of 2.1 kg, but he is healthy. Now he is a little bigger. He just needs to adapt to the circumstances out here."

I'd love to carry it. But what power, just raise my hand I can't. As if to understand my fear, the Word kissed my forehead to calm me down.

"I'll always be by your side, baby. Watch you, our son too. Don't worry," he rubbed my cheek lovingly.

...

Five years later.

"Assalamu 'alaikum," a voice sounded from the direction of the door.

"Father!" The eagle ran into the arms of his father who had just returned to work.

"Greetings Papa first, champ," said Firman while raising the Eagle aloft.

"Wa 'alaikum salam" he replied with a small laugh.

The Word carried the child with one hand. And I stood in front of them with two arms crossed in front of my chest.

"So, what's going on? What are you doing until your Mama is usually as good as the fairy godmother until she shows her horns?" whispered the Word to the Eagle, but still loud enough for me to hear.

"Elang just ...."

"Just knock down a shelf in the library" as I. "That's lucky he ran away, didn't hit the shelf."

Instead of being angry, the Word laughed out loud. The hair of our son. Yes, the Eagle grows very fast. She grew up to be a healthy, active and intelligent child. Even smarter than his peers.

"Kok even laughed anyway, Pa," I protested. "Dinasehatin cake his son."

"What matters is that you're okay, dear," he kissed the Eagle's cheek with anxiety.

"Papa said that, because it's not a shelf in Papa's den that's been knocked down."

The Word laughed again. The Eagle from his carrier.

"It seems like Mama needs to cool down" Word blinked one eye at the Eagle. "You're ready for your birthday souvenir tomorrow, yeah, sweetie."

As it understood, the Eagle immediately ran to his room. The Word led me to our room.

"Here, honey," he patted her on the thigh so I could sit there.

I also according. He hugged me from behind. I kissed my shoulder gently.

"Still angry?" tanyakanya.

"No, just a sprain. Your son, my goodness .. is very active. Last afternoon I went home to school for her birthday invitation, and there I could not talk at all about Mother Shinta. He can't be diem. He's just got to go home, sleep in the car" I said at length.

Word smile.

He held my cheek so I could face him.

"But baby, isn't it the Eagle?" tanyakanya.

"Yes dear dong. He's my son, he's my life" I replied with certainty.

"How do you feel about his request?"

"request especially? It's bought everything it wants."

"She said to me, make her birthday gift tomorrow, she doesn't want anything. He just wants a baby brother" said Firman, eroding the distance between us until our noses touched.

"Continue?"

"We make, yuk," kissed my lips lovingly.

...

"Om Adi!" The eagle immediately ran across the courtyard, welcoming Adi who had just got off her car.

Adi immediately stretched out his hand, catching the small body of the Eagle that jumped into his embrace. I just shake my head.

"You are already big, yes," said Adi while holding the Eagle.

"Yes, dong. Today's eagle is five years old, so it's big" he said, showing his five fingers.

"Yes, today the Eagle is five years old" a woman came out of the car door holding a beautiful little baby.

"Hello, Sister Nina. I'm sorry, until Dede Cantika has to be brought here," I immediately helped Sister Nina carry the beautiful baby.

Sister Nina was the nurse who had been caring for the Eagle since the hospital. And now, she is Setiadi's wife. So often Adi looked at the Eagle, they became closer. Finally Adi put his heart on Sister Nina two years ago. They also had a baby girl named Cantika.

"Eh, Sir! This is his wife bantuin, even maen the same son of people," I cried.

Adi just smiled while holding the Eagle in his hand, and one of his hands again holding his wife.

The sound of a horn was heard from the car that just entered the gate. The car stopped not far from us.

"Of Hendy!" shouted Eagle.

Sure enough, Hendy got out of the car followed by two small boys and a woman.

"Sister Latitude!" the woman waved her hand at me.

"Hi, Yes!" kubalas.

The eagle asked to come down from Adi's sling. He soon approached two little men who were the twins of Hendy and Tasya. The cold Hendy was conquered by the jolly Tasya. And they got married three years ago. Hendy returned to Bandung and is now one of the patio officials at the bank where he works.

"Whose baby is this?" tasya asked when he saw me holding a baby.

"The baby is Mr. Adi" I replied.

"Kirain her sister Eagle, I was not caught pregnant," Tasya said again.

"His brother the Eagle soon followed, Shay," suddenly Word was already beside me and wrapped his hands around my waist.

Kupelototti him.

"Let's go in first, Cantika's kasian. It's hot out here," take Firman.

We all went inside the house, except for the little guys running around the courtyard who had been transformed into a ground party for the fifth Eagle's birthday.

I'm very happy. I can't believe we can all gather here to celebrate my son's birthday.

Firman, Adi and Hendy have been friends since the birth of the Eagle. Adi finds her love for Sister Nina, as does Hendy who is happy with Tasya.

It felt like my life was perfect, surrounded by people I loved and loved.

I looked at Firman who was having a warm conversation with Adi and Hendy. He is the source of my happiness now. Yeah, him and the Eagle.

She accidentally looked at me who was chatting with Tasya and Sister Nina. He smiled broadly, throwing me a kiss.

"I love you," her lips moved.

"I love you too" I said.
