Remember Me, Dear

CHAPTER 48. BEREFT.

"Mother!" zelda shouted in a dream.

After shouting Zelda opened her eyes that felt wet from crying, she did not remember if she had fainted and was currently lying down. He wiped away the tears dripping from his cheeks while looking around him.

"Why are you here? Where's my bundle?" asked Zelda to some maids who were beside her.

"Mrs .. big mistress -"

"Where's my bundle?"

"Mrs .. The big lady -." The maids there looked at each other, they didn't know what to answer, no, because what Zelda is looking for now is gone even buried when Zelda collapsed for a long time.

Intrigued by the look on the faces of his maids, Zelda tried to get up and stand but when she wanted to stand she fell back as if her feet were not strong to support her weight.

"Mrs please don't push yourself, pay attention to your health" said one of the oldest maids.

"No, I have to meet you, please take me to meet her." pinta Zelda pleaded.

As the people around looked at each other, they all felt sorry for the wife of the master.

"Why ... Why are you just silent?? Please take me!" snapped Zelda in annoyance.

Instantly, a nurse appeared who was taking care of Aisyah.

"Sus .. you happen to come, please take me to your place. Mother was still in the room, right?" zelda asked as she looked at Sister Renata with pushy eyes.

Before answering Zelda's question, sister Renata looked cynically at Zelda's face.

"I'll take you there on condition."

"Condition?" ask Zelda in wonder.

"Yes, promise to accept."

"meaning?"

Renata deliberately did not answer Zelda's question, because he was upset and considered Zelda weak and did not accept the reality. Now Renata immediately walked to a wheel beside the bed and helped Zelda get out of bed to sit in a wheelchair.

Now Renata pushed Zelda who was sitting in a wheelchair to get out of the room. But when he came out of the room and entered his room, the room where his mother was lying, he saw nothing. Very nice room.

"Why empty? Wasn't there a heart-shocking machine even mother was lying here." Zelda asked Renata.

"Sus, did you get taken to the hospital?"

Renata remained silent and did not answer.

"What's this about? Why don't you answer?"

Upset with Renata, Zelda immediately pushed the wheel beside her to walk out and looked up at the stairs in wonder, seeing many people coming in all black clothes.

"What's this about? Why so many?" ask Zelda in wonder.

Renata who followed and heard remained indifferent, and did not press Zelda's question.

Knowing that there was someone beside her, Zelda tried to ask back.

"What's this about? Why are so many people here even why are the clothes they wear like that?"

Renata remained silent while staring intently at Zelda.

"Why do you just shut up and look at me!" snapped Zelda.

Zelda's loud voice made Yugo who had just come from the cemetery hear, he immediately entered the elevator to go up to the top floor where his wife was.

"Where's Mother?" zelda asked, staring intently at Yugo. Zelda's eyes look glassy when she sees Yugo's clothes are all black and look dirty because the soil is still attached.

The asked Yugo tries to get close to his frail-looking wife.

"Jawab, why is everyone I asked silent? Is it hard to answer my mother's whereabouts?"

Yugo tries to get close to Zelda and crouches down in front of Zelda who is sitting in a wheelchair. The ex-husband and wife looked at each other, and now Yugo wiped the tears of Zelda that almost spilled.

"Say where's mom? Don't make me mad!" asked Zelda softly while glazed.

"I'm not gonna make you angry, I'm just apologizing for everything I did."

"Right now is not the time to apologize, I want to see you instead of apologizing. Where's mommy?" zelda shouted while crying.

"Be aware, mother is gone and I just drove your body to the funeral."

"What???? No way! Mother's in the hospital, right? Mother is being treated, right?"

"No, mother is really gone and I just came from the tomb."

Not knowing what to say, as if not believing in the words of Yugo, Zelda tried to deny the facts she saw, as if she did not believe, yugo's clothes are dirty and many people come in black clothes including some garlands that look a beautiful name writing from his mother.

"No way! This is impossible. Mommy's healthy, wasn't she in that room?" point Zelda.

"You must be strong and I apologize for burying your mother while you were still unconscious."

Zelda's cry grew louder, while covering her face with both hands.

Yugo who sees looks pity while Renata looks cynical to see Zelda who is considered her crybaby.

"Every living person dies and returns to the creator.

Please don't be like this. Pity your mother there to see you slump like this."

"No! There's no way Mother's gone. Obviously his malignant disease was removed and he was declared cured. How could my mother die?" said Zelda who still does not accept the death of her mother.

"Zelda, relax! Mother is gone." said Yugo while shaking both shoulders Zelda.

Not accepting the truth, though, Zelda who had gathered strength began to reject the two hands of Yugo who held his shoulder and tried to stand and run and get into the elevator to go to the car garage.

I don't know what power he had to make him able to stand up and now in the car to go to the cemetery.

***

Zelda who was currently in the car was trying to strengthen herself, her body that still felt weak and her fragile heart made her cry not to stop.

Long enough to be in the car now he came out of the car garage to the front yard.

Tin ...

Tin ...

The sound of a car horn was sounded by Zelda as a sign to security to open the turnstile.

Seeing Zelda's car passing through the fence opened, now Zelda has been on the road to drive the car alone and go to a tomb. Despite rejecting the fact that his mother was gone, he tried to ascertain his fears by visiting the tomb.

I have to go there, make sure that there's only the names of my brother and father.

When he was driving suddenly he remembered a sentence tahlil uttered by his mother earlier to make his heart feel unwary, the sentence ringed in his ears.

"No .. impossible." shouted Zelda while stopping her car suddenly to make her tires squeak.

Ciiiit .......

Zelda stopped right by the side of the road in front of a house.

Long enough his car stopped in front of the house to make the homeowner try to knock on the window glass.

Gts ...

Gts ...

There was no answer, instead he saw a woman was burrowing her head on the steering wheel like she was sleeping.

Who is this guy? Why didn't he answer my knock?

Is she sleeping or has anything happened to her?

With the windshield window open for the umpteenth time, Zelda who knew that if someone was knocking on her glass window, she began to raise her head and stare at the glass at the push of a button.

"Are you okay?" ask the owner of the house to Zelda.

"Yes, I'm fine" Zelda said in a raucous voice and opened her car door.

Knowing who the woman was in the car, the owner greeted Zelda kindly.

"You're Zelda, aren't you, Imam's son?"

"Yes" said Zelda, nodding and smiling.

"I'm so sorry, son, for your mother's passing."

Hearing the condolences from her neighbors made Zelda involuntarily shed tears.

"You are strong, son, you are a good family, I believe heaven is where your family gathers."

As Zelda's tears stopped, she wiped her tears with both hands.

"You look unhealthy, you better not drive. Park your car there." show Ms. Siti to a house.

After parking the car Zelda approached Bu Siti who was none other than the wife of the RT sir.

"A-what's the mother in ma-kam-kan near a-yah?" zelda said with a stammer.

"Yes" he replied in surprise.

"Then I will go to the mother's grave." said Zelda as she passed.

"I take ya." said Bu Siti but saw Zelda no longer exist.

"Maybe Zelda wants to go alone to her mother's grave. But .., why does he look like .. Ah that's ..."

***

At a funeral

Zelda walked into the tomb gate in bitter steps. He didn't think this was the place where his beloved family was buried. He saw many gravestones beside him, and there were only a few steps left a gravestone bearing the name of his father and brother written and true a name of his mother had been engraved on the tombstone that looked new.

"Assalamualaikum, father ...

Assalamualaikum ...

I came .." said Zelda as she sat and held her mother's headstone.

"How are you, brother?

How's dad doing?"

Zelda still couldn't say hello to her mother even though she had seen a gravestone bearing her mother's name.

"Aren't you guys showing me?

Right now I'm a fragile father, do you know why? Does brother know???

Mother ... Mother has left, mother went to see you." said Zelda crying.

After crying he was silent for a moment while looking at his mother's still-wet grave.

"You know, this is mom's grave, Dad.

This is Mother's grave, brother.

Where's my grave? Why don't you guys take me too??" asked Zelda with a sobbing cry.

"Do you not love me and leave me alone.

Mother ..., it was only mother I had but now who do I have? I have no one, Mom.

Does your mother not love me?"

Zelda now hugged her mother's headstone while rubbing the name written there. He was silent for a moment and wiped his tears. Take a deep breath to regulate your breath and speech.

"Oh my God, why did you take all the people I love! First brother Hugo, second father and now mother!

Why do you not allow me to be happy!

Even the happiness that had just approached me was now gone! What's wrong?!" zelda said as she looked at the three mounds of earth in front of her crying.

When his cry came out loud, the wind blew to make dry leaves fall from the tree.

At once Zelda looked up her head to see the tree whose leaves had fallen.

"Are you there watching and hearing me?" he said naively, while still looking up.

As he looked up, a hand was holding his shoulder.
