My Second Marriage

Happy Road Mama

The ambulance that will carry Mama's body is ready. Administration has been taken care of. Mama finally went home to her beloved home, but came home lifeless. Just this morning a bright smile Mama adorned and warmed the house. But now Mama is gone forever.

Papa and Nesia came with the ambulance to accompany Mama's body. Nia goes with Ronald, while Kak Nay is with her husband. The sound of sirens adds to the heart of the abandoned family.

Nia was still crying. With empty eyes while the head rests on the windshield. The tears just kept flowing without stopping. Ronald rubbed his shoulders to give him some strength.

"Ma, how will Nia be without Mama? Who will advise Nia, where else Nia take refuge when all fatigue and problems come Ma. "glued the heart of Nia at this time. It was as if his world had collapsed. The mother who had raised him lovingly and lovingly was gone forever. I think Nia wants to go with Mama.

"Yes, baby, don't cry. Please let Mama go, so you can go quietly. Do you love Mama?" Nia nodded weakly. "Well if you love Mama you are sincere."

"Mama's gone... Mama's not coming back..." Nia's crying broke again.

"Cup.cup..cup..maybe God loves Mama more than we do so God took her. My mom is not sick anymore. You must be strong yes" Nia digested Ronald's words. It's true, maybe God really loves Mama more than her. My mom is not feeling any more pain.

Nia wiped away the tears on her face. He took a long breath and breathed it out. He did it many times to calm himself.

"I have to be strong. I have to be sincere. I have to prepare a funeral for Mama. This is the last thing I can do for Mama" Nia said in her heart.

An ambulance, Ronald and Nay's car finally arrived at Mama's house. Ambulance sirens were sounded to be given a way to pass. Looks like Mama's house is filled with many people who want to worship. Mama and Papa's relatives have arrived. Om, Auntie, and cousin have come too. Likewise, Nia's in-law, Mama Sri and Rena's sister-in-law also came accompanied by Om Dino.

Nia and her family got out of the car, then Mama's body was taken down as well and placed on a small mattress that had been prepared by om and aunt Nia. One by one the neighbors, relatives and families took turns to give prayers to Mama. Nia was moved to see so many people who loved and loved her mother. Obviously, your whole life is a kind person who loves to help without favoritism. Many paid their last respects to him. Nia is proud to have Mama Asih, as her name Asih.

Change the mourners came. Like inexhaustible many who come to pray for Mama. Nia, Sister Nay and Nesia have changed into all-black clothes.

The funeral was conducted solemnly and fully. Papa who looks tough but still there is a sad murat on his face to take Mama to her final resting place. After being buried, the flowers were sprinkled on top of Mama's grave.

"Congratulations Ma....."

"Dear eat first yuks. You haven't eaten since morning. You were just infused when you fainted and didn't eat anything. Yes eat. It's been the night we still haven't eaten" Ronald persuades Nia to eat. Nia nodded refusing to eat.

"I'm still full Mas" Nia was still sitting in the living room with an empty eye view. Her water is drained today. I don't think he hasn't eaten anything all day. There is no hunger in it.

"Come. aa... open her mouth.aaa.." Ronald persuades Nia to eat like persuading a child. "Let's open dong's mouth.I'm pegel nih's hand" Nia finally opened her mouth and ate a bribe from Ronald. Food tasted bland on his tongue.

One by one the mourners went home and left Mama's house. The atmosphere felt quiet and quiet. Nia walked over to her Papa.

"Pa, papa hasn't eaten either. Eat first yes Nia get it" Papa according to it because there is nothing he can do to drive away the lonely. Nia took the rice and side dishes for Papa and handed them to Papa. Like Nia, Papa also eats no lust. Nia then walked over and sat back next to Ronald, then ate her food.

Nia looked at Nesia who was sitting quietly on the floor. "Nes, have you eaten yet? let's eat first let's not get sick" Nesia obeyed her brother's orders.

After finishing food Nia busied herself with doing the usual homework Mama did. The dishes were collected and then washed. Seen on the kitchen table there are vegetables that have been cleaned Mama but have not been cooked. Tears came down again, Nia crouched down and hid her crying voice....

*****

The house is empty and it is already night. Papa went back into his room. Breathing out heavy breath. No one else accompanied him to sleep. No one prepares their clothes for work. No one welcomes him after work. Half his soul is gone. Now only half the heart must be strong to face tomorrow. There are still three daughters to protect. There is still the responsibility of sending Nesia who is still in college. There was still an obligation to guide the new Nia to the household. Still have to wait for the first grandchild that Nay will be born.

He stared at the picture frame when he and his beloved wife took pictures together while traveling to Bali. His wife's smile was so happy. Hugged the picture frame while holding back the cry so that no one heard.

****

Nesia also returned to her room. He put his body on the bed. He covered his face with a pillow and he cried. Her pillow was soaked with tears, it was fine as long as no one heard her cry.

*****

Nay's sister has returned to her house. Her 8 months pregnant condition made her tired. He sat in the living room of his house. His crying broke again powerless to contain it.

"Ma... Why did you leave without seeing your first grandchild??? Mama don't want to see your granddaughter first? Another month Nay lahiran Ma... Who will accompany Nay in the delivery room later if not Mama??"

Brother Nay cried while stroking his stomach, as if hugging the baby he was about to be born. The husband could only hug her to give her a bit of strength.

Happy path Mama Asih... We all love you... May God put you in the most beautiful heaven. We love you Mama....
