Mama's Delivery Man
Mama's Tomb
This morning on May 28, 2020 is the anniversary of the departure of Mama Ken. For ten years Ken was separated from his mother. At first it was hard for Ken, but as time went on Ken began to let go of his mother.
*Living Room
Mother Tama, Om Putra, and Andre had gathered at the dining table, they were wearing white matching clothes. Ken's coming down after them. His face did not show sadness or happiness. As usual they had a quiet breakfast, this time there was no usual joke about Ken and Andre.
After finishing breakfast, they immediately entered the car leaving the courtyard of the house. Mother of one car with Om Putra and Andre with Ken. Along the way Ken just kept quiet and looked out the car window.
*Cemetery
After arriving at the public cemetery, the driver who delivered Tama and Om Putra immediately parked his car as well as Andre. After that they walked towards the final resting place of Mama Ken. There was already seen the figure of a middle-aged man who was none other than Papa Ken. His father, who is still abroad, is forced to return home by Ken because the child is on a pilgrimage to his mother's grave. Ken went straight to his papa and gave him a hug.
They recite prayers and sow flowers in turn. One by one they left the tomb to return to the car. Ken was still beside his mother's grave, his tears could no longer be contained. Andre who realizes Ken is not around accidentally waits for Ken in the car. While the others leave him.
Let Ken today be another, shedding all his longings that he longed for.
the flashback
That night Ken was still sitting on a park bench waiting for his mother. Suddenly a middle-aged man approached her in a hurry. His face was full of sweat and the worry was drawn so clearly. Ken who saw it stood up.
"Papa.." said K1en approaching his papa.
"Honey, let's see your mama" said papa Ken who tried to stay calm.
"Where's mom? From earlier the number of mama is not active." asked Ken while stepping following his papa.
His father continued to walk in haste without answering Ken's question. They boarded the car quickly until they stopped at a hospital. They entered the hospital with a small run. Ken's mind started floating around somewhere. Curiosity, anxiety and bad shadows begin to haunt Ken and his Papa.
Finally they arrived at the room that had been informed. They stood in front of the room full of anxiety. A doctor was followed by two sisters out of the room.
"How's my wife doing, Doc?" ask Papa Ken to approach the doctor.
"The patient is still in a critical state, his heartbeat is very weak. The patient lost a lot of blood but was treated. You have to be patient and pray a lot." explained the doctor.
"Thank you doc" said Papa Ken. The doctor immediately left them.
Ken and his father went into the room where his mother was being treated. Ken's mother's face looked pale lying helplessly on the bed. Ken who saw his mother was no different, crying without a sound while kissing one of his mother's hands. His mind began to fill with guilt. The surprise of her mother on her birthday was shocking. 'If I hadn't asked you to celebrate my birthday in the park, it wouldn't have ended like this!' he murmured in the heart.
The clock has shown at 05:15 AM local time, but Ken and his father are still awake. Ken went out of the room for a while to go to the bathroom because his stomach was a little mules due to staying up late. Before returning to Ken's room, wash his face to keep it fresh. After that Ken returned to the room, Ken saw his father talking to the doctor from a distance with his head down.
"Your mom.... Mama you go son." said papa stammering.
Ken's body immediately stiffened, hearing the news from his papa made him very shocked as if in disbelief. It was only a few minutes that she left her mother's room, but her mother left her forever. Ken ran to his mother's room and cried. Papa Ken, who was once strong, now withered crying over the departure of his wife.
flashback off
Two hours passed, but Ken didn't come back. Andre who was starting to worry immediately followed him to the tomb. And it turns out that it was true what he was presenting. Andre saw Ken lying on top of his mother's grave, and immediately ran over to Ken. Andre held Ken and put him to sleep in the passenger seat. There was a worried look on Andre's face. He drove his car to the nearest hospital. It took 30 minutes to get to the hospital because the streets were quite crowded.
* Hospital
Andre ran small while holding Ken, two sisters came to him by pushing the bed. The nurse asks Ken to do the administration and Ken has been taken to the ER.
Andre immediately did the administration and informed his parents.
The doctor had already checked Ken's condition, Ken was just exhausted and lacking fluids. Andre sat with Ken while waiting for his family to come. Suddenly the door of the room opened. A man approached Ken who was asleep.
"Why can I sift this? Is she okay?" asked the man who was none other than Rava. His eyes still looked at Ken with anxiety.
"He didn't have any soy sauce." Andre was flat. "Sit down" said Andre.
Rava sat next to Andre, They kept quiet. Because they are quiet people. Finally Andre's family came with Ken's father. They enter the room and ask Ken. After learning of Ken's condition, they breathed a sigh of relief. Moreover, Papa Ken who had never heard the news of Ken being sick, suddenly now got the news his son was sick to make him shocked.
Rava stood up from his seat and let the Andre Family sit down. Mother and Papa Andre immediately sat next to them. Papa Ken is sitting next to Ken. Mother still did not take her eyes off Rava.
"What's your name, son?" ask banda Tama kindly.
"Aunty rava. Rava Aditya Sudibjo." answered Rava.
"Oww.. You're Haris Sudibjo's son!" exclaim papa Andre who knows his father Rava because Haris Sudibjo is a business partner of his father Andre.
"Yes." bowing his head politely.
"You know Ken?" look at your mother, but you want to know her relationship with Ken.
"Yes aunt. I won Ken." replied Rava. Replied nod by mother Tama.
Papa Ken who heard him smiled faintly, because all this time he did not know that his son had a male friend. Even he always offered Ken to meet his friend's son. Seeing Rava's face was like no stranger to Papa Ken. Papa Ken recollects where he saw Rava but his memory has erased time which makes him old and forgetful.
