My Shoes My Love

23. Sleeping on Mom's Lap

"What if I am called by God, what is the fate of my son? Truly I have no heart, who will love him more than me" muttered the Goddess who began to tear up.

"Why mother? Are you thinking of something?" sheila asked who suddenly saw her mother speechless.

"Ah no son, mother does not think of anything mother just already feel full. Your homemade porridge is also delicious. Didn't expect it turns out that the mother's child has grown up, it can make its own porridge," explained Dewi.

"Mom can do it" said Sheila, who was embarrassed.

"Here son," call the Goddess.

Sheila, who had just returned from the kitchen after storing the bowl of porridge, was now approaching her mother. Suddenly Sheila wanted to lay her head on her mother's thigh.

Still sitting and leaning against the wall, Sheila slept on her mother's lap. The Goddess continued to rub Sheila's head. I don't know why it feels so sad when his son is in his lap right now.

Another case with Sheila who actually felt so calm and peaceful when in the lap of her mother. Sheila seemed to have forgotten her heartache yesterday. Sheila could completely forget everything while on her mother's lap.

"What is the current state of the mother?" sheila asked on the sidelines of her mother's rub.

His mother who had rubbed his son's head suddenly stopped his activities.

"Good mom son, mom's okay. Mother is healthy," said Dewi who still looks fine even though in her heart she feels it will not be long-lived.

Hearing that made Sheila feel relieved. Now he is not too worried anymore. Although it looks still pale but the condition of the mother at least has begun to improve. Sheila had been sleeping on her mother's lap for a long time.

"Son, the mother felt sore," said the Goddess who began to wake her child.

"Oiya ma'am" Sheila was shocked from her sleep.

Not felt because all day at home, now the day starts in the afternoon. Sheila's father had just returned home from work and was soon approaching his wife's situation.

"Where is the condition of my mother now? Is it okay?" ask husband.

"Yes well mom already feels healthy, but I want to go home first well. I want to stay for a few days there," Pinta Dewi who suddenly expressed her heart.

"What's? Stay at mom's house? But isn't it a long way away ma'am, are you strong?" ask Hermawan.

"Yes, God willing, the mother is strong. Mother please well," said the Goddess again.

"Yes, if indeed the mother wants it so, then the father will try to call the brother of the father who has a car to come to pick him up here" explained Hermawan.

"Yes well, thank you," said the Goddess who was happy.

Finally after the conversation, Hermawan immediately contacted his brother who was in the village to pick up the Goddess. He also explained about the condition of the Goddess.

After explaining what happened finally his brother who was the younger brother of Hermawan immediately agreed. And the plan is tomorrow Bambang who is the younger brother of Hermawan who will come to pick him up.

Almost overnight Hermawan began packing some clothes for his wife there. Sheila who had just come out of the room was confused as to why her father was packing clothes into the suitcase.

"Well what are you doing these nights?" sheila asked as she exited the room.

"Dad is cleaning your mother's clothes, son, he said tomorrow mother wants to go home first to the village," explained Hermawan who is still busy putting some clothes into a large bag.

"But you didn't say anything to me. How sudden?" ask Sheila again.

"Less know also son, maybe mother wants to rest first there," added Hermawan.

Sheila did not ask anymore. He immediately approached his mother's room and asked her directly. But when he arrived in his room it turns out that the Goddess has fallen asleep with a slumber.

Next day..

The goddess was already preparing to leave while waiting for the invitation to come. Sheila who since yesterday wanted to ask this question immediately asked her mother.

"So you're going to Grandma's house today?" sheila asked, who approached her mother.

"Yes son, I want to rest first at grandma's house. You're good at home yeah, studying good. Later if the new holiday can come to the grandmother's house to look at the mother," explained Dewi.

"Well then ma'am, Sunday I will come nengokin mom," Sheila said.

"Good!" the Goddess again.

Not long after Bambang finally came.

"Assamualaikum," said Bambang who was already on the porch of the house.

"Here come in first Bang, I make coffee first," Sheila bargained.

"Don't bother, brother, let me make my own coffee" said Bambang.

"That's okay, the guests who make their own drinks," said Dewi who immediately rushed to the kitchen to make drinks.

"Wait for coffee, you eat the cake first yes," said the Goddess.

On the table there are several cakes and snacks available.

"Yes, thank you."

"Together."

"Eh Sheila is already big," said Bambang when he saw his nephew who had grown up.

"Oh, how are you?" sheila asked who had just seen her arrival.

"Om good, if it's big it must have a boyfriend," said Bambang.

"Ah bngga om, I'm learning a good first," said Sheila who was actually embarrassed.

"Well, aren't you going to Grandma's house?" ask Bambang.

"Well, I have to go to school. At least later if the new holiday is followed there," replied Sheila.

"Oh yes, I forgot."

Finally, before long Dewi came to bring 2 cups of coffee for her sister-in-law and her husband. Sheila must get ready to go to school. Although today was a tough day, Sheila had to stay excited.

Before she goes to school, Sheila greets and hugs her mother first. Sheila was saddened by her mother's passing, but she couldn't do anything about it either.

After all, her mother had only been gone for a few days. His father also took his mother there. Sheila has to stay alone for the day. Throughout the journey Sheila kept thinking about her mother's condition.

"May the mother truly be well again, give my mother a long life, O God," murmured Sheila expectantly.

Sheila rushed to her school. He began to move his legs even though he felt heavy. Sheila feels lazy if she meets Agam at school. A few minutes later, Sheila arrived at school.

Slowly but surely Sheila began to enter the school gates. Sheila did not expect that when she entered the gate, she saw someone who surprised her.
