My Sacrifice for Mother

Home part 2

The quiet atmosphere and fragrant smell of roses and frangipani flowers typical of a funeral welcome steps Anes a little trembling not because of fear but because of a sense of loss that is very very very.

A clean funeral of a beautiful weed weed could not reduce the sadness that Anes felt in his heart. But as his father said that entering the cemetery was not to shed tears, especially if the tears were tears of sadness, because it will only burden the mayor in the barzah realm. Our tears will only be the burden of their journey in the barzah realm, or rather is burdensome for them to go to a better place.

The sound of pleci birds squealing around the tomb also enlivened the atmosphere of the morning accompanied by the rest of the dew in the morning, also the sunlight that began to rise to the surface illuminated the burial red soil that was half wet due to the dew, also making the rest of the dew on the surface of the leaves begin to slowly evaporate upwards.

This beautiful atmosphere is one example of an atmosphere that is very desirable by photographers and videographers. But unlike Ghanes and his father who instead headed to the cemetery to visit family members.

After putting a motorbike on the edge of the gate to enter the cemetery, Anes also followed Mr. Alan's step into the tomb after previously saying a prayer to enter the tomb :

السَّلامُ عَلَيْكُمْ دَارَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنينَ وَأتاكُمْ ما تُوعَدُونَ غَداً مُؤَجَّلُونَ وَإنَّا إنْ شاءَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ لاحقُونَ

Assalatmu qaumin mu’min wa atkum ma tua ghadan muajjalu, wa inna insy-Allahu bikum lhiqn.

Meaning: Assalamu’alaikum, o place of residence of the believers. The promise of the Lord has come to you that is suspended tomorrow, and we God willing will follow you.

it is slowly being recited. It doesn't have to be harsh, does it? Because this is not a prayer or a prayer.

Then set the left foot three times as a marker for the arrival of us (humans) who are still alive visit our brothers who are in the tomb. And do not forget to take off his footwear and placed on a long chair in the saung beside the entrance which is also next to it there is a shower where washing hands and feet or even ablution for those who he willed to wudhu first before entering the tomb.

"You still remember, don't you, that these two tombs are the tombs of your great-grandfathers?" Mr. Alan asked slowly to Anes as he passed two tombs lined up right by the side of the driveway near the main door.

This tomb looks outdated but the size of the tombstone is slightly larger than the tombstone in general indicates that this tomb is a tomb that already exists maybe 50 years more.

But indeed the head of our Village is a very good person even to people who have died though, because the tomb of this Village is so very well kept clean. Because every 4 months there will be a clean pickle of the village that moves its citizens to cooperate to clean the village road including the tomb. They are not paid, only in the love of consumption . Mr. Lurah said this is to foster a sense of belonging and responsibility in the assets of the village and mutual respect for fellow humans even to those who have died and their families.

"Remember this sir." Answer Anes slowly.

"We go to Masmu first, then we come here briefly, all while the way home."

Anes did not answer anything, just continued to walk slowly following the footsteps of Mr. Alan who seemed to have been very upset with the location of this tomb. Yes understand too, because he said Mr. Alan almost 1 week 1x or 2 weeks 1x Mr. Alan always routinely came to visit his son, Susan.

Not long after that his father stopped at a tomb whose headstone position is slightly inclined ga straight line neatly like other headstones.

"Read the writing." Mr. Alan said then pulled out a small tree of grass with his fingers.

On top of the tombstone it says :

Susandhatna bin Alan Sutoro 

Died: 12 June 2012 

"Sir, why wasn't his date written sir?" Ask Anes for wonder.

"Oh, it's actually better so An, to avoid things that you don't want. You know that sometimes there are some people who seek knowledge who often look for the shroud from the tomb of people born on a certain day." Mr. Alan explained.

"oh, yes sir, Anes forgot."

"Yes, we read the prayer first, then after that just sprinkle the flowers and pour the water as much as 3x from the position of the head to the bottom."

Alan turned his hands up and Anes followed him.

Alan said a slow prayer :

First, say hello to the grave expert, continue with the reading of Istighfar, then read alphatihah surah, and be carried out with the reading of surah al ikhlas, al-fallaq and an-nas.

Then read tahlil : 

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهَ

“Laailaaha Illallah.”

Meaning:

"There is no God but Allah."

read it 33x.

And the last one reads the funeral prayer:

اَللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ وَارْحَمْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَاعْفُ عَنْهُ، وَأَكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ، وَوَسِّعْ مَدْخَلَهُ، وَاغْسِلْهُ بِالْمَاءِ وَالثَّلْجِ وَالْبَرَدِ، وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ

والْخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنَقَّى الثَّوْبُ الْأَبْيَضُ مِنَ

الدَّنَسِ، وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ، وَزَوْجًا خَيْرًا مِنْ زَوْجِهِ، وَأَدْخِلْهُ الْجَنَّةَ، وَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَمِنْ عَذَابِ النَّار, وَافْسَحْ

لَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ، ونَوِّرْ لَهُ فِيهِ

“Allahummaghfinrlahu war hamhu wa ‘aaf yes w’fu anhu, wa akrism nuzuulahu wawassin’ madholahu, waghsinhu binaghu’a watssalji walbarad, wa naqqni, minnaddzzunubni wal khathaya kamaa yunaqatsaubul abyadhu mni anda.”

Meaning:

"O Allah, forgive him and have mercy on him. Give him salvation and apologize to him. Give honor to him, expand his entrance. Bathe him with water, ice, and dew. Cleanse him from wrongdoing as You clean white clothes from dirt."

"Step for him a better house than his house, a better wife than his wife. Put him into heaven, give him refuge from the torment of the grave and the torment of hell. Lay him in his grave and light him in it." 

"Aamiin's." Mr. Alan and Anes simultaneously rubbed both palms of his hands in their faces each sign of praying was finished.

Then they sprinkled the flowers in their respective baskets and poured water as already exemplified Mr. Alan at the beginning.

"Nes, leave a little for the tomb of your grandfather and grandmother and the grave of your great-grandfather in front of you, do not spend, all of us come here. Still hunting for the shopping ."

"Oh okay sir, good thing to tell you, if you haven't spent all this, anyway I might as well take it home right?"

"Yes, shift position." Said Mr. Alan had Anes shift his sitting position to slightly move to the side.

If this tomb Anes still remember, because the funeral time of his grandfather Anes joined nganterin, which was Anes 2nd grade Junior High.

Anes also recalled that his grandfather's grave was next to the tomb of his grandmother who died when Anes was still PAUD.

It didn't take long for Anes and Mr. Alan to wash his feet and hands in the saung . Then Anes starts his bike to take his father home before he goes out to shop at the morning market according to the notes he disabled last night along with Candra.

Until home, Anes immediately shower shampooing and change his clothes with a still clean then immediately he took two sacks of rice 25kg man and put in the motorcycle seat maroonnya.

"An,,, heart heart..." Shouted Santi from inside the house before Anes slid away.

"Ready boss." Anes answered in a noisy esla the sound of the motor being climbed even though it had not been inserted in the gear of the screw.

He is still sitting on his favorite motorcycle that he bought a few years ago in maroon red.

By wearing hem long sleeves small polkadot color tosca, windproof jacket beige color, as well as black fabric pants. On his head is a pasmina pasmina color that matches the color of the hem he wears, as well as a cream color snail whose color is slightly more doof than his windproof jacket.

Sitting on a motorbike he bought in his own sweat while paying attention to the small notes he recorded last night along with Candra.

Anes remembered where back when he wanted to have a motorcycle like his friend, he could only have it through a dream, let alone have a motorcycle that cost millions, he said, buying a new phone that costs only 200 thousand aja his parents never able to give him money.

He was very grateful that his parents were able to send their children to graduate SLTA all despite being accompanied by debt here and there and the insults of the left right.

Anes still feels that Anes is a very lucky person because he has a family that is very happy despite being in a very fit condition. It can even be said to be very lacking.

The ideals of his parents are so high, that they do not have more money to just build a house to be habitable.

Btw, Anes is not a type of girl alay who likes to hang out on the road while carrying a matic, but he is a child who is a little tomboy and night like the motorbike that has the gear of the screw. Motor according to Anes itself is a type of motor that is slim, strong, and nebguasai all terrain. So more precisely this Anes does love everything that is all in one. So more useful and also more efficient, right one for all. Heheheh

The morning road is still quite quiet, there are only a few public transport cars passing by that can transport school children, or people who want to go to the market, he said, also several motors that cross opposite are climbed by children who wear white ash uniforms.

Along the way accompanied by the green color of the leaves in the sun that began to warm up reminded Anes with his excitement along with Susan first when he was still there.

Although Susan was ignorant not to play, but even that is what makes Anes often miss him when long time does not meet.

She remembered how Susan used to always take her asphalt muter in the morning after dawn or the afternoon after ashar. Remember how Susan always taught her new things, especially what boys do. Therefore Anes until now easier to get along with men than women, because Anes felt so familiar with male characters because of his habit of being with Susan and Candra when Candra was growing up.

Ghanes recalled that while smiling his own smile on the bike. How beautiful that day was.

"Ghaaanneess!!!!!!!!" Suddenly someone shouted at him from the top of the motorbike that had just passed him.

But Anes didn't know who he was.

"hhhhmmmmmggghh,,,,,,, (while stroking his chest) Good thing the cave was not bellowing." Anes was grateful when he realized that he had just daydreamed on the bike.

"Nes, Ghanes don't daydream dong bego ! oh my god !" Said Anes to himself who felt dizzy because of daydreaming while driving. Although it is not at high speed, but when it arrives hit by a tree instead turn on the devil, he said in belokin kunti, in gendruwo or alibi in the entrance to other realms.

At the market Anes immediately went to the most important butcher's place, and after he got it Anes immediately went to the place of some salesman who sold all the necessities written in the diatribe he carried.

40 Minutes later, Anes was back home, carrying two sacks of groceries that contained beef, eggs, tofu tempeh, and, several kilograms of potatoes and several other printouts ranging from onion chickpeas to 6 packs of thiwul rice complete with side dishes.

And the other sack is filled with 5 kinds of cakes that each cake amounted to 72 seeds.

And it turns out, Miss Warni was also at home chatting with her mother and father.

"Sorry, I waited a long time, Mom?" Anes asked Ms Warni after getting off her bike and dropping off all her groceries.

"Nez, it's only been 5 minutes. How are you doing? healthy, son?"

"Alhamdulilah healthy Buk, for today please help ya buk, sorry to say suddenly."

"oh, it's okay, son, I'm not busy anyway, so I can understand it, if I'm busy, I'm sure I refuse."

"Thank you Buk."

"Yes, do not hesitate, herein your groceries, oh yes you also remove other needs rich blender bowl a large bowl along with a rather large pot. Let cepet. Later all the spices in blender aja, because if you have to be in ulek not enough time kasian you also later. " Said Bu Warni next.

"Oh yes Buk, I call Ma'am Sri ya Buk, let someone help ibuk. How's it?" Anes asked Ms. Warni to offer reinforcements.

"Okay aja anyway Nes as long as it does not interfere with Sri time yes, ask first he was busy or not, if busy ya do not pa pa kok, ga good also if ngerepotin people. But if he's not busy, I'm even very happy to help."

"Hehehee is ready Buk, after my equipment is out, I call Sister Sri Dech immediately."

Without much more mouth anes immediately remove all equipment and needs that if needed later. Let's not panic if it's needed, or let's not have to run again.

Shortly afterwards Anes had again walked into the house along with Mbak Sri, who is none other than his front neighbor Anes who has been helping the family of Mr. Alan while in trouble.

"Asalamualaikum Bu Warni, how are you?"

The greeting of mother's style while cipika cipiki ga clear. Next palagi if not ghibah.

And now the gibahin are before them . The other one is Anes himself.

"Lha yes lo Buk, Anes came home at any time I did not know you buk, even though our house was facing. Emang Anes was from a long time ago if you go home never news of the news of the hype of the rich people usually lo."

Said Ma'am Si splashy while peeling onion one tray along with Anes.

"Sir, mbak, you are strange, you are not happy people directly in front of the person , hahahhahahaa fortunately that I hold now is not the same chili ."

Anes said he was talking about himself.

"If the same chili why emang? I'm happy instead, stay fried chicken added hot rice, the world belongs to me already, there's no one else."

Ma'am Sri replied with a mocking smile.

"Sri Huuuu base is crazy." Anes's taunts to this neighbor.

Basically, Anes is the same as Mbak Sri was familiar since Mbak Sri married Mas Yudi his neighbor Anes and then built a house just across the street in front of his house Anes. And coincidentally again, this Sri Ma'am is an Anes class kaka back in Junior High. So their age is not far away. Only 2 years.

so understand if Anes and Sri Mbak about joking on connecting just connect.

The three of them were busy in their respective places, while Bu Santi was sitting while watching them and indeed Anes did not allow Bu SAnti to follow the busy support of them. For Anes to overcome 60 people is not a difficult thing. Because Anes himself was used to it.

Even in the past when still abroad Anes was alone every day cooking for 35 people with a variety of dishes that every hour the tomb is limited to at least there should be 8 kinds of cuisine menu for 30 human heads. And it was done alone without anyone helping.

So if there are now 60 people and in the three and the menu of the cuisine there are only a few, at most four , 5 with the rice, is not a difficult thing.

They also talked to each other asking something or just reciprocating ridicule between Anes and Mbak Sri of course. While Miss Warni just smiles just listening to their babble, occasionally she laughs when they both make a little exaggeration that can be said to be more similar to a child.

..........................................................

17:38

The kitchen was all done perfectly.

Beef is cooked seasoning rujak, masakn is similar to bali seasoning but slightly pale because it is not as spicy as bali seasoning and uses a fairly large amount of kencur.

There is another balado egg for people who do not consume red meat. Sauteed chickpeas with carrots. Orek tempe's. And fried sambal tofu potatoes.

Everything is ready to stay put in cardboard boxes and arrange it on a plate. But this one work will be done when the congregation has come, so the food that will be eaten is still in warm condition.

As for the drinks, Anes had provided bottled tea for all of them. Candra bought it after work.

The three of them took a short break to take a bath to clean themselves up before the war back with the contents of the kitchen.

"Finally, a,,,,,,, the back can be straight too, hehehehehe..." Said Anes stuck out his legs on the long bench .ndelosoor next to Mbak Sri and BU Warni who had sat there first.

"Rest break, shower turn yes, after that continue to enter the cake into the cardboard and this food will be brought home the congregation later." Command BU Warni.

"hehehehe,,, okay ma'am, ready."

"Sir, Ma'am Sri take a bath here mbak, do not need to go home." Anes told Mbak Sri.

"Come home, people live a blink aja nyampek really. There's no Lu Nes. If Miss Warni must have taken a shower here, wouldn't you BU?!"

"Yes, I take a shower here. If you want to go home first. Your kasian will be troubled."

Bu Warni explained.

....................................

Maghrib's prayer was heard 15 minutes ago.

The congregation had already begun to arrive at Mr. Alan's house.

While Anes, Bu Santi, Mbak Sri and Bu Warni of course in the kitchen.

Anes and Mbak Sri lifted a large skillet of beef spice rujak on the stove under which there was charcoal leftover combustion earlier, he said, the point is that this dish remains warm when served and does not make the cuisine so charred. These tips have been done since the days of human ancestors in prehistoric jamn. While now it has been replaced with electrical technology that requires greater costs of course. And the difference again is there will be no smooky smookynya.

.........................

21.30

"akkkhhhh.h......" Anes said after his house was quiet again because the pilgrims had already gone home. Also Madam Sri and Bu Warni have been home since.

"Tomorrow in the next clean, now rest first, the important leftover food in the kitchen was brought to the front of everything, if not exhausted in eating cats." Said Bu Santi to Anes who laid his body on the mat in front of the television.

While Candra is busy stacking dishes used cake and put the rest into a larger container and safe from the tantrums mikey mouse.

"cats can still get in the buk?" Ask Anes .

"You can, do not think the cat can not enter yes, the food you do not bring it forward, tomorrow morning you will only be in the other place doank the same him."

Mr. Alan answered Anes' question.

it is so the condition, old school house that is still a lot of holes that can be entered by cats from the outside. This one creature that is famous has 9 lives also because of its very flexible body. He can enter through any hole as long as his head fits, then his body as fat as anything will still be able to enter.
