MENTALLY
UNCAPABLE



The video call connection with Bima is still ongoing, his youngest sister whines more precisely forcing the brother to go home. He said the house was quiet, Radit often basketball practice until home at night, the mother was busy seminars outside the city.


"Come on, Miss Al!" the light again. But Almira was unmoved, not real, but he still wanted to explore his potential. Almira had already planned when she returned home she would determine her next move. For sure he will be out of medicine, he will take other disciplines according to his passion.


"Or you go to the cottage" Almira bargained, though somewhat silly. Of course Bima rejected, what about the school.


"That's right, Ma'am. What kind of school, a week of lonely houses."


"Yes I don't want to go home first, Dek. There are a lot of things that are being done!"


"Do what? is it healed?" as old as Bima there must be a childish side whose speech is too honest.


"She's healed, a lot of things you've learned here."


"What's? it's not monotonous, it's not going anywhere and it's just those people."


Almira shook her head, indeed she slept in her own room, but she was rarely alone. Almira chose to gather with the cottage child, Bu Puguh, even with the workers at Lapak, he just remembered slowly his emotions were somewhat stable because it was close to many people with many stories and experiences. "How many, precisely the life of Mbak more colorful here than at home first. Later if Mbak it's time to go home, Mbak will change our house more colorful."


"Yes now," Bima still persuaded but Almira shook her head.


"Bak's not ready to see mom, Dek!" almira said softly, every discussion about her mother suddenly wanted to cry, wanted to hug her and wanted to be angry too.


"Why? Ma'am Al is really traumatized ya meet mama, what letter from mama yesterday can not treat the trauma Mbak Al?"


Almira began to cry, but soon she removed it. He's near the volleyball court, don't want any other cabin boy to know the problem. "Mbak Al is still scared, Dek. It feels like remembering your mom, just tears and tiredness that you feel."


Bima was silent, he stared fixedly at his sister with pity. His heart actually does not like when Almira is kept away from the family, but how else, papa and his mother are more listening to the advice of doctors who recommend Almira healing in different environments, and blend with nature, and nature, thank God you have found results. Almira has been more stable, has been strong think about the steps to be taken in the future even though the anxiety, fear and trauma are still there.


Little by little, Almira had unconsciously learned to become an adult who did not depend on the word of the mother. "Bak knows, but his name is heart, no one knows. Mama's heart does not know, nor does my heart, change if Mbak has been born mentally healed, Mbak will go home. Ma'am promised me any story with Bima."


"Mbak," call Bima by staring intensely at the face of the sister's ayu. " Don't hate mama yeah, no matter what your attitude first please forgive mama."


Almira's heart melos at once, wanting to feel like he was crying as hard as he could, yelling into the wild and saying his mother was not wrong just his heart was weak to depression like this. "Mom's not wrong, Dek!" lirih Almira with quivering lips held back her sobs, "Every parent will do their best for their child, including mama for us. But please give your mother time to calm her heart, mind, emotions to become a better Almira again. Bima believes that Mbak Al will be a better person?"


Bima looked down, hiding her tears. He loves his sister, but he can't do anything, he can only be a matchmaker for children and mothers who still have a separation wall. "Bak just needs prayers and support from you, Radit, papa, and mama."


Bima nodded, unable to hear the request of the brother. Bima is just afraid, the trauma experienced by Almira can be carried away until when, although he also heard the development of the brother is getting better. "Jaga mama, give my greetings to mama yes, sorry can not meet."


Bima nodded strongly, and before long Almira said hello and disconnected the video call connection earlier. As soon as the phone screen darkened, Bima's body was tightly embraced by someone who had been sitting sweetly in front of her, Madam Anggraini listened to the conversation of her two children, and during that time tears kept dripping. Bima deliberately lied to Almira so that the mother could hear Almira's voice.


The current condition of Almira certainly never thought and predicted, the trauma of Almira is so strong as if ingrained.


"Don't force your mother again, Bim. Let him live as his heart desires, let him enjoy the happiness that mama has taken." Madam Anggraini was getting stronger hugging Bima, her youngest child was the one who strengthened her at this time. Only Bima and sometimes Radit still care about his presence. The husband did not continue the separation but his cold attitude was inevitable. The words of Mr. Muhtar are still tight and reluctant to talk to him, even he prefers to sleep in the room Almira rather than with Mrs Anggraini.


"I feel sorry for Mama!" this is what Bima felt as well, seeing her mother who was more silent and not as busy as before, making Bima want to know the contents of her true heart. Every time he spoke to her, he saw in his eyes a longing for his daughter, and he struggled to be knocked down. Bima knows her mother holds it all herself, not wanting her child and family to know how she feels. After all, if you complain of longing, the papa immediately insinuates Gak not to miss, Almira is like this because of your actions.


"Bima know mama kangen same Mbak Al, Bima know mama hurt because of the attitude of papa ketus. Mama said same Bima, Ma. Don't be so strong!"


Madam Anggraini unraveled the embrace on the youngest, getting rid of Bima's little hair that dangled slightly over her forehead, "Mama's pain because papa's attitude can still be ignored, but the longing for Mbak Al really makes mama slump."


Madam Anggraini came back crying, even her body was shed near the table. "Mama misses Almira a lot. No day without remembering his face, mama regrets Bim, really. If you finally divorce your mom, it's okay. Husband and wife relationship can break up because there is no keihklasan in living it, but not for the relationship of mother and child, do not let the mother cut off for a long time. Mama can't stand it, Bim!"
