Melati At The End of Hope

Chia went home

Episode 13's

"I can what? your presence is only the beginning of your departure.

I can what? when the heart I keep tight

it turns out I had to let go of the grasp.

I can what? when harsh reality must wake me up from my beautiful dreams."

Chia was washed away in her fracture, eight hours drive to her hometown was taken with a floating feeling.

Arrive at Chia's house.

I greeted him, impatiently.

Seeing his favorite daughter transformed into a beautiful girl nan Ayu who he had long missed, mother could not stem his crying.

"Mother's son." she said as she hugged Chia and kissed her favorite daughter's cheeks and forehead.

"Mothers...Chia kangen" Chia spilled her longing on the figure of the woman who had given birth, cared for and raised her.

After being satisfied to hug each other, the mother also invited Chia to enter the house.

Chia swept her eyes across the room while reminiscing about the times she had missed in that simple, very comfortable home.

"Where's Dad, Mom? it doesn't look..." Chia.

Mom was busy putting Chia's luggage away.

"Sit down, son, or Chia wants to eat first? I've cooked Chia's favorite meal." Said mom diverting the conversation.

"Well ma'am, Chia's really laper" while stroking her belly.

"Yes, let's go, kid, eat a lot of ya" Mom took the food to Chia's plate.

"Hehe must be dong bu, Chia kangen really mother's cooking" Chia then prayed and immediately devoured the dishes prepared by her mother.

"Alhamdulillah full." said Chia after finishing her meal.

"Where's son? like the chicken soup and the fried tempeh?" ask mother.

"Both the cuisine of the champion mother, chicken soup, fried tempeh is equally tasty as well as delicious dech" while lifting two thumbs.

"Thank God that Chia likes it, mom is the spirit of Chia masakin. Mama is happy.

Realizing that her father has not been seen, Chia asks her mother again.

"Mother, where the hell is dad? Chia kangen daddy is also mom," Chia whined.

"A..dad was admitted to the hospital son, it's been one week" said the mother as she stammered.

"It's been a week? how are you not telling me about Chia ma'am? if you tell me Chia can go home early ma'am" This time Chia's tears broke.

His heart was again broken by circumstances.

"Patience son, mother was willing to tell Chia at that time.but the father held the mother, he said afraid Chia was worried" explained the mother to Chia.

Chiaun was crying in her mother's arms!

"What's sick dad mom? who's keeping you in whose hospital?" While chia asked.

"At home from picking coconuts in the garden, Dad suddenly fell unconscious, the doctor said his tension was very high and had to be treated. Thankful that there are ustadz Hasan and son Jamal there, we take turns to look after each other's father, they are very good" said Chia's mother.

"Then Chia wants to follow you there, ma'am." Chia wiped her tears and was intending to see Dad in the hospital.

"Don't kid, Jamal's son told me before you came, he said you can take him home" said the mother.

"Alhamdulillah..." Chia breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oya ma'am, Chia bought me something" Chia grabbed the clothes bag and unpacked it.

"Well, here she is" Chia said after discovering something in question.

"It's for dad and it's for mom" Chia said as she gave it to her mother.

"What is this, son?..." Mom curious.

"Open dong mom..." Reply Chia chuckled.

Mom opened...

"Maa, God, that's great. Thank you dear" Mother's face sparkled with pleasure.

"Sama-sama ma'am, will be worn yes" Chia said with a smile.

"Of course mom wears, surely this will be the favorite clothes of mothers throughout the time" said the mother. They laugh too.

Apparently Chia took the time to stop by the Muslim clothing store to buy Koko's father and mother clothes and a dress while still in the city. Clothes with the same color.

"So what time are you home?" ask Chia again.

"Already on the road, son, maybe soon will be there. I'm grateful to have relatives like the good Ustadz Hasan family..." Mom smiled.

"Yes mom! I'm sorry Chia, Chia should be there when you and mom need her..." Chia feels guilty.

"If so Chia shower yes ma'am, Chia's body is sticky.ihh the smell of asem" said Chia while kissing her own armpits teasing mother.

"Ah this you.have taken a bath there ckckck hiss mother.

Chia rushed to take a shower. When he finished, he entered the most comfortable place in the world besides the arms of his father and mother.

Especially if it is not the room and bed.

While slamming her body into bed, Chia jumps up to cheer like a child who is excited when given candy or toys.

Finally after a long time, he could again feel the bedroom full of these memories.

Moreover, the room still looks clean and neat because the mother diligently takes care of it.

As long as Chia is not home, whenever mom misses Chia, mom comes to Chia's room to just look at Chia's stuff. For mother, all that was enough to comfort her heart and feel that Chia was always close to her.

Tired on the way home also paid off with his comfortable position on the bed.

and Chia was fast asleep.

Not long after, Dad came to usher Jamal. Ustadz Hasan had gone home first and could not accompany him, because there was still business to be resolved.

Dad now looks fresher after a week of treatment, he is now healthier and fitter.

"Dad rest yes" said Mother lead.

"Where's my son ma'am? is that silly girl sleeping now?" Said father guessing while laughing.

"Ah dad could have, Yes well Chia slept after the shower earlier, like tired" replied the mother.

While Jamal just sat quietly watching the babbling of both parents Chia.

for some reason hearing Chia's name, her heart started to move with a very strong beat.

"Dag dig dug dag..ser" Jamal's blood rippled.

"Son Jamal thank you very much yes, I do not know how to divide myself this one mother, if no one helped the mother to take turns looking after her father Chia.

"Hehehe must have never bathed at home because you can't go home, right ma'am" ledek Chia's father.

They laugh...

"Sama-sama mom. It is our duty to help each other and help each other as much as possible. There's not much we can do, that's all" Jamal said humbly.

"That's more than enough" amazed Chia's father at Jamal.

Vaguely the sound of their chatter rang out to Chia's room and made her wake up. Chia realized that she heard the voice of the father there, without thinking that Chiapun immediately ran towards the father.

"Dad...." He said he ran like a child.

He threw himself into his father's arms.

Chia was only wearing home sleepwear and not wearing a hijab, because Chia had not previously known that Jamal was there.

realizing that she was not wearing a hijab, she shouted loudly.

"Yahaaaaaaa! crocodile" Chia said as she ran back to her room to pick up the veil.

Jamal who saw it immediately bowed, between the shame of having seen Chia without a hijab, he was also intrigued by the laughter of watching Chia's behavior that turned out to be still like before, although maybe a lot has changed.

"Lho you know, ma'am, look at that silly girl has started again" said the father pointing towards Chia's room.

"Sorry son Jamal, it seems Chia forgot that the one who drove her father home was son Jamal Maklum earlier he was crying worried about his father, maybe he became unfocused." Chia's mother explained.

"It's okay ma'am, it's normal" Jamal said.

"Lho ma'am.got wrong again right, Jamal was used to the attitude of his future wife" sambar Chia's father made Jamal blushed even more.

Chia who had finished changing clothes and wearing a hijab was shocked because she accidentally heard the words of her father.

"Wife candidate who is it?" chia asked with a confused face.

not yet had time to answer Chia suddenly Jamal cut the conversation.

"Oya ma'am, sir if so Jamal said yes, soon have to teach the children to teach" Jamal greeted Chia's father and mother and folded both hands while bowing to Chia.

Chia who felt that something was strange was astonished.

Despite having known each other before, Jamal and Chia somehow felt that something was different this time, like being unable to speak.

To throw away his gnarly sense Jamal immediately rushed home after saying goodbye.

"Assalamu'analykum...." Jamal.

"Wa'alaykumsalam. Oya this is a little souvenir from Chia, please tell your mother and father." Chia's mother said.

"Well ma'am..then Jamal say..." Answer Jamal.

And Ngeeeng...Jamal direct gas.

Jamal's breathing is no longer regular.
