Mom, Let Me Be Happy

CHAPTER 40. The Peaceful Morning

The afternoon switch sent all the atmosphere back to the contest. Worry, sadness, grief, and grief. Everything lodged in a recess of the soul shows a face with a tinge of disappointment that arises so real to the surface.

Asa who disappeared was hit by a wave of emptiness. Almost wiped out the remaining flavors that are still scattered. Brought him into a sea of a thousand turmoil.

Asih seemed to be still sitting in the same place when Dicky last saw him. Denny, along with his mother at that time had arrived at Asih's house. They were trailing behind Dicky to get into his house.

The woman with a blank look was shaking her legs at the edge of the bed. He hasn't moved since Dicky left him out. The boy approached his mother while carrying a serving of grilled chicken and rice bought by Denny.

With a dull step and a confused feeling. Dicky moved slowly and got closer. "Mother, eat first, Ma'am ... Dicky brought this for mom" he said, pointing out something he had in his hand.

Asih did not budge in the slightest. He only glanced at Dicky with his eyes on his tail without turning his head. Then, his eyes returned empty.

Dicky was already teary about to cry to see his mother's increasingly chaotic situation. Denny pulled the boy's hand slowly and led him into the deck. "Don't worry, Dicky, your mother will be fine" Denny's comfort calms Dicky down.

Now it's Denny's mother's turn to approach Asih. The middle-aged woman gently touched Asih's shoulder and rubbed her slowly. "Beauty, eat first, son. Look at! Dicky brought you some food," said Mother very gently.

Asih still remained silent however, this time her tears escaped to moisten her cheeks. He cried without a sound. The impression of being angry and very chatty on Asih quickly disappeared. It turned out to be very quiet and it made him seem strange.

It seemed like he was being gnawed at by disappointment as his focus of hope was being forcefully crushed. The maddening and chaotic spirit is now not in its body. Even his circumstances will pity all eyes that see him.

Denny's mother repeated her persuasion words again as she wiped the tears on the lethargic, tangled face. "Correct, look! God gave you a Dicky, to be a reason for you to stay strong" said Mother trying her best to guide the Asih consciousness. Frankly as a fellow woman, Mother can understand what she is feeling even though she does not fully understand.

The poor woman closed her eyes and made a clear, puffed-up feather now fall completely through the fall to her cheek. Isakan also began to sound from what was originally not the slightest sound. Denny's mother, carrying Asih leaning on her shoulder.

"Cry, Son! Let your feelings and heart be relieved" Denny's mother said. The message arrived and was well responded by Asih. The starkness of the outbreak of the Asih cry at that very moment.

Denny could not bear to see it, then he went out carrying Dicky who was still in his arms. The boy was crying in Denny's arms. While Denny can't do much about it, he just tries to calm Dicky down as much as he can.

***

Since that incident, with the help provided by the Denny family, and certainly not apart from the role of Mariam. Asih was taken to a rehabilitation center to get counseling or psychotherapy as an effort to recover his condition that was severely depressed.

Can you imagine? Mariam is now saving a child from a mother, who once destroyed her household. Not acting stupid. But that's how Mariam heals her wounds and how to win the situation.

Not discriminated! Dicky gets the same affection and treatment as Shaka. Now Dicky, and Shaka are like twins who live with the complete affection of Mariam, Denny, and also Mother. Inside the house, Dicky gets a good upbringing from a family once destroyed by his mother.

"Mother Mariam! Can Dicky ask for a hug?" said Dicky who at that time approached Mariam who was preparing breakfast for all of them. Mariam smiled and let the boy hold her for a long time. Until his longing for Asih far away there decays and subsides.

It must be admitted that all this time Dicky never get affection like a real child, from Asih. For one reason or another, Asih only accentuates his selfishness rather than being selfish and giving Dicky what he really needs from him.

"Thank you, Mariam's mother," he said, then ran back to Shaka, who was busy playing cars accompanied by Denny. The boy looked closely at Shaka. "Of course, everyone loves Shaka, and also Mariam's mother," Dicky said after learning how kind Mariam was, and so was Shaka.

"Dicky, come on over here! We're playing together" Shaka, who just realized Dicky was watching. Dicky smiled then stepped closer to Shaka. They play with their childlike world.

Dicky's life was more fun. Receiving many things that he had never felt before. The warmth and affection of the stranger who now cares about him the most.

Mariam has replaced Asih as Dicky's mother. However, not necessarily Mariam taught Dicky to forget Asih from his life. Quite the contrary, Mariam always reminded Dicky, to always pray for the good for Asih.

Mariam believes that every good and bad deed is done. It always comes back to whoever did it. By his cause, Mariam tries to continue to do good even though of course humans have limitations.

"Mom, is there still something to cook?" mariam asked the in-law who was cool with her embroidery hobby. "Nothing, dear. Just call them for breakfast at the dinner table" Mother said.

"Let's go, let's have breakfast first" exclaimed Mariam to the three men who were still busy with her world. Hearing Mariam's exclamation, they immediately scattered not forgetting to hug and kiss Mariam's cheek as she passed it towards the table.

Mariam shook her head while smiling. How peaceful the morning was. Beautiful as a seed of love that grows well in a fertile field.

"The good eye is the eye that always sees the good in others" (the ulama). Mariam is a picture of an unspoken sincerity, and of an endless patience. A heart that knows it will not be able to hold a hatred for it.
