34. Losing Mom

Sukma did not feel asleep in his mother's lap. Sukma felt sore and immediately woke up. But when Sukma awoke, he witnessed his mother who was asleep. His face was so calm and peaceful.

"Mother fell asleep too" said Sukma, holding her mother's cheek with a smile.

But at the same time his mother fell to the side. Spontaneous sukma called her mother in a panic.

"Mom, mother! I woke up mom," cried Sukma who felt so panicked.

But still no response. Her mother's skin is cold. There was no warmth as he stroked Sukma earlier. Sukma felt increasingly afraid until finally he asked the neighbors for help.

"Please! Help me!" yelled Sukma who was now shouting outside his house.

"What's up, son?" ask one of the neighbors who happened to be not far from Sukma's house.

"Please look at my mother sir, my mother has been asleep since not waking up," said Sukma who began to tear up. The feeling was increasingly felt, Sukma felt afraid if he would lose his mother.

The man immediately rushed into Sukma's house. He then checked Sinta's pulse, with a heavy heart he said, "your mother is gone."

"What's? No way! Mom, wake up mom!" sukma who shakes her mother's body. Sukma hoped that this was just a nightmare. Several times he tried to convince himself.

Sukma never expected that his mother would leave so soon. His feelings that since yesterday were not good turned out to be reality. Sukma had to lose his mother when he was like this.

His father left Sukma and his mother, but now his mother has also left for good.

"Patient boy, we'd better get your mother's body buried soon. Pity him" said Sukma's neighbor.

"Patient Sukma, your mother is calm in nature there," said another neighbor when entering his mother's service.

Sukma can only cry, cry and keep crying. No relatives came that day, because Sukma did not think about it. He was really hit and could not think clearly.

A few moments later the eater was done. One by one the neighbors who went to the cemetery have now returned home.

"Patient Sukma, we go first," said Bu Rani Sukma neighbor as he rubbed his shoulder.

"Let's go home, son," take the other mothers.

"I still want to be here" replied Sukma who was still crying at his mother's grave.

Without saying anything else, all the neighbors left Sukma alone. Not long after came a woman wearing glasses. She is Helen's aunt, Sinta's sister.

"Sukma," call Helen while opening her glasses.

"Tante, mother.." shriek Sukma who returned to tears in Helen's arms.

"I know, but this is Sukma's destiny. We have to accept all of this reality. Auntie knows you're a strong boy. You can definitely get through this," added Helen who now returned Sukma's embrace.

He tried to calm his nephew. Lucky for the whole family, Helen was the one who came to accompany Sukma. Helen, who was going to meet her sister, had to accept the harsh reality if her brother had died.

Helen never thought she would ever see her sister again.
