Mother Merry Only Belongs to Us

The Daris House

"Well, what's the hell you want to do with Daris?" mommy Tyas asked.

"Small little thanks for my sister Aunty, graduating high school!" answer Daris politely.

"Well, you got a sister?"

"Women Tan, I'm the first child!" Daris always answered Mommy Tyas's questions straightforwardly, while occasionally looking up at Merry.

"Dong's college is running out of this sister?"

"Alhamdulillah yes Tan!"

"How are your children?" Mommy Tyas immediately asked the news of Daris's children.

"Alhamdulillah good Tan!" There is a sense of disbelief for him to be able to chat directly like this with Mrs Shah. Well-guided as a guest in his luxury home.

"Excuse me, let's drink this sir!" Mbok Nah came with two glasses of orange juice and a pastry. "Would the lady like a drink too?" ask Mbok Well to Mommy Tyas.

"No need to go!"

"Come please drink Nak Daris, do not hesitate, do not rush right?" ask Mommy Tyas.

"No Tan!" answer Daris. They also talk a lot about work or family. This is enough to make Merry and Mommy Tyas know about Daris more deeply. Daris who feels the Shah's family welcomes him warmly also does not hesitate to tell stories or joke, although it is still in a natural realm.

Thirty minutes they spent chatting. Until finally, "I'm saying goodbye now, Tan!" Apparently Daris was preparing to take out Mommy Tyas' daughter.

"That's a hurry!" protest Mommy Tyas.

"Mom, you're going to have an event at his house!" merry Sahut.

"Yes, be careful! Titip's son Auntie!" mommy Tyas.

"Yes Aunt, thank you so much in advance!" said Daris. "Yes together, don't hesitate to play here again!"

Daris greets Mommy Tyas and is also followed by Merry.

*****

Silence, a proper word to describe the situation in Daris' car at this time. There was only Daris driving and Merry sitting next to him with all his thoughts.

Merry remembered very well this morning before Amar came home he said to Merry, the change in Merry is very fast. Amar who has been with Merry since childhood felt that Merry was in love with Daris. Even though Merry said it wasn't true.

There was no love for Daris, all he did was just to get to know his children.

Merry also wondered why most people easily claim love on something that if rethought is not necessarily love. For example, Merry just knew Daris that means Merry love to Daris, why should think about love? Why not think first if all is just normal, just a relationship as fellow creatures of His creation.

Speaking of love, of course Merry never felt the name of love. Even if it's just monkey love. Merry is a normal human being.

But right now, Merry is judging that love is complicated. He did not want to get into the noise of love that might be able to tear his heart apart.

His deepest heart always gave an alarm whenever it began to be close to that which was called love. There is no such thing as a traumatizing dark experience called love.

Trauma is not a good thing either. Because if in fact we are able to stop all the fear we feel, why do we prefer to be it as a boomerang to scare ourselves?

During the 24 years present on this earth, Merry learned a lot about what life really means. Mery learned a lot from previous mistakes, other people's mistakes, or even the possibility of mistakes that are ready to wait for him in the future.

The burden of life that squeezes him mercilessly makes him realize that this self is actually just a dwarf, especially in the presence of his Rabb.

Especially considering the absence of parents who make themselves a human being in this world, making him feel more dwarfed.

That's why Mery wanted to make this life easy. He does not want to complicate a life that is actually already complicated. Don't want to create a riot if it can't be created.

Remembering that self is just a stick of kara, it is amazing, it is incredible to be able to remain steadfast in the midst of the hustle and bustle of worldly life that is only temporary in nature.

Amidst the silence Merry immersed himself in, Daris began to open up a conversation for the two of them.

"You used to say you were a bodyguard?" ask Daris who makes Merry immediately understand what is really confused by Daris. This is not the first time people who know him are confused by the life he is living right now.

"The Shah's family is my adoptive family! They took care of me from childhood! I'm an orphan, I don't have a Father and a Mother!" merry replied which made Daris gasp.

"From my teens I was determined to look after the Shah's family as much as I could, yes maybe the way by being the bodyguard of Madam Shah, the person I called Mommy!" continued Merry.

Daris mangosteen understood Merry's words. His life path was also steep.

If anyone says "But it's good to have no parents but still live luxuriously with a rich family!" Yes, of course, who is not happy can live with a rich family.

But, in the depths of his heart, if he may choose he wants to feel what it is like to live with biological parents. How it feels to be loved by them, how it feels to feel the Eid with them, laugh with them, even just feel how scolded by them even Merry was not given a chance at all! Not at all!

And maybe they say again, "Well, Mer tastes the same, even eat you!" Hufft, that's an ordinary sentence that Merry has never known what it's like.

But again, thankfully, his life should always be based on gratitude. Thank God his life did not suffer.

Daris no longer wants to talk about it, afraid that Merry's heart is actually sensitive to discuss it. Yeah, even though Merry never had a problem.

"What about being a bodyguard?" ask Daris who from yesterday-yesterday interested in asking how Merry is a bodyguard, Daris always knows that Merry is kind and gentle to his children.

Merry chuckled at it, apparently Mr. Daris did not know that the Merry he had known all along was Merry in the best version, the version of the fairy godmother.

No really, Merry is not evil, you guys misjudge that the bodyguard is evil. Ooww, or maybe you guys judged that evil for seeing them beat people up so often? BIG NO guys, it depends on their boss, if the boss is evil, their existence could be misused. But if the boss is as good as Mommy Tyas, his existence will be a good thing, it can even be useful to be around.

And that as a reminder also for us, as humans must be smart in choosing a job, not just because the important thing is money.

Must think halal or not the money, so that the blessing for yourself and family.

Especially for those who are married, yes time every day the family is given an illegal intake.

So, we should never judge a job from one point of view. "Yesterday I saw that guy whose profession as it was arrogant, he was a snobs!" Hmm wrong guys, not everyone is like that.

Maybe he is like that because it is innate to his bad nature, so do not ever generalize something.

"Yes protecting my Mommy, does Mr Daris not have a bodyguard?" merry replied, asking.

"Have it, it's just that I was wondering how you were a bodyguard!" daris said with a laugh.

"Hopefully one day I can see how I became a bodyguard!" exclaim Merry.
