MENTALLY

HEALTHY COMMUNICATION

After experiencing a long heart debate, Almira finally decided to okay the time to improve the relationship with the mother. Mumpung his two younger siblings are already in the school breeze, after taking a shower and breakfast Almira to the back garden carrying a laptop he said Aqil is loose, and the man will accompany Almira via zoom. WhatsApp Web and zoom are already on, Almira seems ready to open communication with the mother. He started sending messages even though it was just a greeting.

Assalamualaikum

Almira glanced at her watch, still at 7:30 maybe the mother is still riweh with morning activities in her clinic.

"Udah wa?" tanya Aqil who has been hanging in the zoom saw the beautiful face of Almira.

The beautiful girl nodded and pouted a little as her message was not reciprocated. Aqil who could only see through the laptop screen held a smile from anxiety. If only Almira near him would have ruffled the head of the girl.

"Patience, your mother must be busy. Career women too!" as soon as Aqil tried to shift Almira's focus on the message.

"Yes, it's just that I'm his son. Should have been more concerned with replying to my message dong."

"Hayo began to think negatively. What budhe said yes..," Aqil reminded Almira again of the advice and advice of Budhe Puguh when negative thoughts began to poison the minds of Almira.

Back Almira pouting. "Not everyone that morning was holding a cell phone, probably still sleeping or on the road again. Just patience. You can see your mom online what time it is."

Almira immediately picked up the phone and saw the jelly when the mother was last online and why she did not think there, hufhhhh.

"Yes, last time it was online at 4am."

"Well.kan, still not hold a cell phone. Wait, let's talk about our future." Aqil deliberately teases Almira who lately does look often misbehaved and shy when Aqil teases her. Naturally, a girl if it has been made comfortable, the ego does not want to play heart turns out to be nil.

A message that could avert Almira's shy face, he glared perfectly and was all captured clearly by Aqil. "Why?" ask the young man impatiently. However, Almira did not bother him. He focused on his phone.

Waalaikumsalam wr... Almira. How are you, son?

Apparently the mother replied to Almira's message, and she tried to provoke a longer conversation.

"Al?!" tegur Aqil was curious.

"Mama reply wa me, Kang. I should what?" almira suddenly lost her mind. Meanwhile, Aqil only smiled.

"Reply dong!" Aqil is encouraging, mentally ill people just need support, so that their confidence increases.

"What answer?"

"The answer fits the question. And one more so that your chat is not monotonous you have to take the initiative to provoke a conversation."

"Should ya?"

"Should. A good relationship between both parties must be active. Not only did one of the parties seem to be fighting on their own."

"Not so, I was rejected from the beginning."

Almira nodded, "But I'm comfortable with you, Kang. Comfortable as a vent."

Aqil just nodded. He believes that someday what is expected of Almira will get an answer. And indeed he is self-conscious, no need to force if indeed Almira is not his license. His heart will but if Almira refuses, what can she do. Forcing? It would be fatal.

"Your mother's reply, we will connect again. Congratulations on fighting, girl," said Aqil encouragingly before ending his virtual meeting.

Almira turned off the laptop and immediately went to the room, in his shadow he needed a comfortable place. While lying down he will serve the reply of the mother. It is time to throw away negative thoughts and improve his life.

*Good, Mom. Mama how are you?

Fine, Son. Mama is so happy you chat mama. Mama is so guilty of your attitude first*.

Almira had fallen asleep in bed, let out a short sigh and typed in a reply for the mother.

*All has passed, Ma. Almira also apologizes if Almira's attitude and pain make our family messy. Where does mom live?

She lives in the clinic with her assistants. You want to go to the clinic?

Want. Wait for Bima and Radit to go home from school, Ma.

May darling. Mama wait. What are you now?

Again in the room, same mom.

Dong himself? Papa where to?

Papa doesn't know that maybe I'm back home.

How can you, darling? Papa's not home?

No, Ma.

Yes it's possible papa in Kalimantan. Waiting at the clinic, baby. I love you, my dear mom is with you. All mommy's kids are my best friend*.

Almira did not reply directly to the mother's last message. Just reading his tears suddenly came out, he really felt his mother loved him very much even though it was just a writing.

Al also love mom, I love you ma.

As soon as Almira ended the conversation that morning. While holding tightness in the chest, Almira sent a message to Radit and Bima so that noon would take Almira somewhere. Intentionally Almira did not tell his goal worried Bima and Radit worried while at school. Let them learn in peace. Their learning focus has been much seized for the benefit of Almira.
