Mom, Let Me Be Happy

CHAPTER 7. Longs

After three days of illness, Shaka's condition has started to improve. He can play with his friends again. Although there are still friends who are ignorant to him, who again mention his father.

In a field in the middle of the village....

"Reyhan, don't get Shaka to play! he doesn't have a father" after a friend of Shaka's named Dicky.

"Dicky! you can't be like that! " reigh Reyhan.

"Yes Dicky, you can't make Shaka sad!" bela Ali's.

"But it's true, right? Shaka doesn't have a father, hahaha" Dicky repeated, constantly making fun of Shaka.

Shaka could only be silent with teary eyes. His heart returned to the nelangsa to hear the mockery Dicky threw against him. Shaka runs while crying regardless of the other friends, who continue to call and invite him to play.

Shaka continued running until he found a large shady tree, and he sat down below. Her tiny lips quivered accompanied by a roaring cry that sounded pain in the ears.

"Dad! why did you leave so long ago? hurrying home, Shaka misses Dad very much, "shaka raved in her tears.

Poor little boy. He did not understand at all that his father had gone to a distant place, somewhere? she left him, and also the mother who loved him the most.

Shaka spilled his tears under the big, shady tree all by himself. Until it sobs up if anyone hears his voice, it will certainly be carried away in the heartache. Longing for longs, that is the feeling that can be drawn in the heart of Shaka, to the Father.

Suddenly from a distance there was a faint sound of some people calling out to Shaka.

"Sheel... Shaka... Where are you?" the sound of the call kept being heard over and over again.

However, Shaka did not answer. Her tears were flowing down her cheeks. A few minutes later, the voice that called out to him was becoming more and more clearly heard nearby.

"Shaka..," said Mariam Lirih as she held back her tears.

Apparently Ali and Reyhan told Mariam, that Shaka ran very far after getting ridicule from Dicky who offended about his father. Without a second thought, Mariam, accompanied by the two boys, rushed Shaka towards Shaka until they found him.

"Shaka, baby, come here son," persuaded Mariam as she spread out her hands.

With a cry that still made her breath sting, Shaka ran into Mariam's arms. Like a pungguk who missed the moon, Shaka always dreamed of being able to play with his father like other children.

While tailing behind Mariam towards the way home, Shaka's friends try to comfort Shaka who is being carried by Mariam. They say that Shaka is the luckiest person, because his mother loves him very much.

At least the consolation given by his friend was able to shift Shaka's complaint into an immeasurable gratitude.

"Reyhan, Ali, thank you for inviting Shaka to play, ." said Mariam who had arrived at her home at the time.

Simultaneously, Denny arrives on his motorcycle and stops right in front of Shaka. He came to keep his promise to invite Shaka to play ball. The grim look on Shaka's face and the still bright scars, slowly cheerful knowing Denny who invited him to play.

Two of Shaka's friends who had taken Mariam to follow him also participated with Denny and Shaka. Denny carried the three boys on a motorcycle.

On a motorcycle, Denny deliberately invites them to sing while occasionally throwing silly words that make the boys laugh cheerfully.

***

The night welcomes the moonlight, which peeps spoiled from the branches of the trees. The dim light that coiled the sky, added to the longing in the heart of a servant.

It feels so bad he spoiled with the lover of grief erasers, solace. In the longing that dwells in his heart, leaving not even a little room for another taste.

Mariam longs to tell stories while struggling spoiled in the hands of Santana, for some reason? despite being hurt by Santana, little heart Mariam still hopes to raise Shaka together. Their baby who always longs for the presence of Santana at his side.

"Mom.o.," Shaka's voice broke the silence, breaking Mariam's wishful thinking.

Mariam smiled at Shaka, then led Shaka's hand into her lap. Shaka stared fixedly at her mother's face and asked in the typical voice of a sleepy boy.

"Did you miss Dad?" he threw a question.

Mariam smiled at Shaka. Shaka continued to ask questions that made Mariam repeatedly take a deep breath.

"Are adults always in love mom?" shaka continued that even his reasoning has not come to the meaning of the word love itself.

"Shaka will find out, once Shaka grows up," Mariam replied as she flashed a smile on her lips.

"No need ah, Mom... Shaka doesn't want to be an adult!" shaka toilet.

Mariam smiled then said that in this life, there are many things that come that cannot be denied and the departure cannot be prevented. Just like being an adult.

Shaka is still a boy. Despite the adventurous times explained, his understanding had not yet reached that stage.

"The grown-up is weird Mom, she's in love but won't tell you," she said again making Mariam laugh.

"Where does Shaka know?" mariam asked with a stifled laugh.

"From what Shaka saw Mom. Uncle Denny loved Mom, but Uncle Denny didn't want to say. Is Uncle Denny afraid of you?" the little boy said, Mariam was silent for a moment.

Mariam took a deep breath and advised her beloved son.

"Honey, we never know for sure the contents of someone's heart, so Shaka should not talk carelessly like that, yes!" mariam advised Shaka.

But the sleepy Shaka had apparently not heard what Mariam said anymore. Mariam, who realized her son had fallen asleep, could only shake her head and take Shaka to her room.

In a different house...

A man is in a state of anxiety and confusion. Wanting to express his taste however, he was still confused how. Who else if not Denny, a strong man harbors his love for Mariam who until now has not changed or decreased.

Denny also felt astonished at Santana, why a beautiful and impeccably kind Mariam was left behind by him.

Highlight Mariam's sharp eyes, her sweet smile, the simplicity that makes her look au natural, and her loving character. It seemed like it was enough to make one who had it grateful.

But not for Santana, he just had the heart to torture the inner Mariam and also her son Shaka.

"Not sleeping, son?" denny's mother asked him to surprise him.

"Eh, Mother.it seems like Denny's eyes can't be closed ma'am," she replied.

"The eyes will indeed be difficult to shut down. if his mind is remembering someone," led Mother as she passed.

"Yes, it's true Mom. Just tell me everything you know" Denny murmured.

Seriate....
