Mom, Let Me Be Happy

CHAPTER 22. Amazing Place

Denny Drove a motorcycle to his destination along with Mariam, and Shaka. It seems he is still cool to keep the place a secret even though Mariam keeps asking. "Where are we going, Mas?" ask Mariam repeatedly.

"Patience a little more, Mariam" replied Denny. "Relax, Mother... Dad must have given us a nice surprise" Shaka said. "Yes, it's up to you" Mariam let out a sigh of resignation.

The road is so foreign to Mariam, and also to Shaka. As quiet and quite far from the settlement residents. There was fear and sometimes worry in Mariam's heart.

"Mas, where are we going? Why do all the streets look like forests? " ask Mariam. "Is your fear greater, Mariam? I think your comfort is beyond your fear!" denny said it was like regretting Mariam's attitude.

"It's not so, Mas ... I just feel alien to this place" said Mariam. "I'm sorry if I offended Mas" continued Mariam. Denny just kept quiet and didn't respond.

Suddenly Denny pulls off his motorcycle and invites Mariam, and Shaka to get off. Mariam hid doubts at every step of her foot. Worried that her husband would feel offended again if she said so.

"Shaka, come here Daddy will carry you" Denny said. "Well, Dad "that boy just rushed into Denny's sling. Mariam smiled looking at that, her heart flattered and lulled by Denny's treatment of Shaka.

"Honey, come here and grab my hand" Denny told Mariam. Mariam then linked her fingers to Denny. Miraculously, Mariam's worries and fears have now turned into feelings of pleasure.

Denny's touch and attention brought down the walls of doubt in Mariam's heart room. How wishful to soar and soar high in the clouds. That's just the beginning of a Denny's seriousness.

"Well this is the place, come in we have arrived" said Denny. A flower garden with a simple saung in the middle. In an amazing forest.

Again Mariam was amazed by him. Without warning he immediately approached the flowers that spread blooming. The distinctive and fresh fragrance of the smell spoils his sense of smell.

Mariam seems to have forgotten herself there with Shaka, and Denny. It is fun to surround flowers that grow in different colors and shapes. He turned his body to smile while breathing his fresh.

Denny's hands, and Shaka's, stick together. The two men did not seem to be amazed at the sight and the flowers. But it is enchanted to see Mariam's charming face with a hue of happiness that radiates through the glare of the eyes and smile.

"Thank you, Dad" Shaka said softly as he looked up at Denny. "Is Shaka feeling happy dear?" asked Denny who was staring slightly down towards Shaka. "More than that, Dad. Shaka hasn't seen Mom this much in a long time" Shaka replied.

A few minutes later, it seemed like Mariam's consciousness had returned. He flinched then stepped towards the direction where Shaka was, and Denny stood. However, his footsteps came to a halt as Denny shouted.

"No, Mariam! Stay there we will catch up with you" said Denny. Mariam then smiled welcoming the two men who were running towards her. Then Shaka was in the middle with both hands held one by Denny and the other by Mariam.

"Tell us, Dad. Why is there such a heavenly place in the middle of the forest," said Mariam who made Denny's heart beat fast because it was called 'Father'. "Ehem, of course, all this because there is yourself as handsome as an angel here, Mother" replied Denny calling Mariam 'Mother'.

Now the situation turned around, Mariam's heart was beating fast hearing Denny's words. They forget there are minors who inevitably listen to their conversation. "Are Mom and Dad saying a poem?" mummified plain Shaka.

"When you decide to marry Santana. I felt heartbroken and frustrated and went to this place. My intention is to let go of my adversity by moving away from the crowd."

"Then I saw some flowers that were scattered with different types. Then I gathered them together and it made me feel close to you" Denny recalled with a smile and turned to Mariam.

"Then? is it that way Dad comes here every day and makes saung as beautiful as this palace?" mariam asked once again to call Denny 'Dad. "That's right, Mom ...I helped Umar when setting up this saung," replied Denny no less make Mariam meet face.

"So, we're not the first to be brought here?" mariam. "It's true, but you're the first and only woman I've brought here" Denny replied, breaking Mariam's prejudice. Two men who are playing with poetic words like a poet.

I don't think the sun is starting to lean west. They know there are obligations they have to fulfill. Denny then invites Mariam, and also Shaka to go home and fulfill a form of servitude to God.

"Let's love, here there are no prayer mats and other prayer equipment" said Denny. "Maybe next time we can take him, Dad" Shaka said. "Good idea, Shaka" Denny replied briefly.

They came home with a million happy feelings. Although not denied, Mariam is actually still linger there. All the heartache and gloom of the soul is paid for by the flowery feeling.

"How was your day? is it very fun? " ask Denny's mother after they get home. "Of course, Grandma! Father and Mother until they do not stop replying to each other's poems," said Shaka invited laughter. "Be quiet, young man" Denny joked as he pinched Shaka's gaunt cheek.

"Thank God, then, immediately pray after that you eat," Mother ordered. "Thank you, Mother" said Denny and Mariam. "Together, Son" Mother replied.

All activities they run with heart and happy feelings. There were hardly any defects that incited sorrow and grief on that day. Only a glimmer of hope began to grow and bloom in the semblance of heart.

In Santana's room....

Today Asih silent not much to say, talk was just as necessary. Dicky was busy playing with the ball and some of his toy cars. I don't know what was in the boy's mind, every time he felt upset then he would slam his toys to pieces.

Santana was worried about that. There was a sense of pity on the boy even though his head was painful to deal with his actions. "Current! pay attention to Dicky play do not just attach importance to your ego," said Santana who saw Asih was cool carving his own fingernails.

Seriate....
