RUINED MY HOPE

40. The Painful Day

A few days later being at the grandmother's house made Bu Sofia's condition improve. Now Bu Sofia does not lie down much, even Bu Sofia today wants to take a bath using warm water.

It was not wasted by Arin. This time Sofia wants to be bathed by Arin.

"Don't help me take a shower, I'm asking you to rub the back of my mother's back" said Sofia, who was sitting on a desk chair while waiting for Arin to cook water.

"Yes ma'am" replied Arin happily. Although at the age of just 15 years but Arin looks so mature. Arin understood what he had to do.

A few minutes later the water was ready. Arin deftly immediately poured hot water from the pot into the bucket. After that Arin immediately cools the hot water with ordinary water.

In the bathroom, Sofia was waiting while sitting in a small chair. Slowly Arin poured the warm water to all parts of the body Bu Sofia. Arin immediately soaped Bu Sofia, especially the back that was not touched by Bu Sofia.

After that Arin gave shampoo to his mother's hair. Not long after, Sofia finally finished her bath. He immediately put on his clothes and sat down on a chair near the dining table.

Arin also took the initiative to comb her mother's long hair unraveled. Slowly Arin began to comb the long hair. From behind Arin just kept staring at his mother. Sometimes Arin thinks of the worst thing in his life, but he immediately brushes those bad thoughts out of his mind.

"Isn't it cold mom?" arin asked while combing her mother's long hair.

"No son, I feel fresher after a few days of not taking a shower" the mother replied.

Hearing that made Arin feel happy. Arin is happy because her mother now looks healthier.

"Hopefully the mother will be healthy always and live a long life," muttered Arin expectantly while combing his mother's long hair.

"After this mother ate yes, Arin bribe," Arin said again after he finished combing his mother's hair.

Bu Sofia just nodded like a child who obeyed her mother's words. From Arin's hand, Bu Sofia ate so much that she felt full.

"It's enough Rin, you're full" said Bu Sofia.

"Oh yes ma'am" replied Arin who immediately put his plate on the table.

"Mother's finger to the bed" said Bu Sofia who now holds Arin's hand.

"Let's go, ma'am" said Arin, who is now walking beside her mother.

They walk hand in hand. Arin immediately escorted his mother to the mattress located in the middle of the house. Arin lies down his mother and covers her.

"Now mamah rest yes," said Arin after enveloping his mother.

"Dear, thank you" said Ms. Sofia.

"Sama-sama mah" said Arin who kissed the head of his mother.

Seeing his mother asleep, Arin was relieved he finally fell asleep. Arin finally went to the room for a short break while checking his cell phone maybe there is an important message. Until finally Arin also worked his eyes for a moment.

"Tea, teteh.." Bi Marni's voice shouted.

"What is so noisy," said Arin who was aghast to hear the screams of Bi Marni. Spontaneous Arin was half running to see the state of Miss Marni.

"What's bi?" ask Arin who now sees Bi Marni crying near her mother's bed.

"Why mama bi?" asked Arin who was now staring at her mother still sleeping with her pulse.

"Why is bi?" asked Arin once again firmly.

"Mamah has left quietly Rin," said Bi Marni.

"What's? It can't be!" now Arin is crying. Arin still does not believe what he saw and in the fresh. Arin feels that his mother has been healthy since yesterday. Even Arin did not want to imagine it even for a moment.

As humans, we never know what will happen to our lives in the future. Arin felt that his mother's life would be healthy again, but unexpectedly it turned out that God had other wills.

Arin continued to cry lamenting the passing of her mother. Arin could not stop her crying. He kept sobbing watching his mother's departure. Dear arin, poor Arin.

Arin's mother's body is now bathed, then prayed, after which the body is brought to the TPU (Public Burial Place). All the families watched as Bu Sofia was buried. Arin's tears were unbearable when her mother was put into a burrow. Her tears are getting bigger.

Bi Marni who was standing next to Arin several times rubbed Arin's back as a sign of strengthening Arin.

"Patient boy, your mother's been quiet in nature. Now he will not feel pain anymore" said Bi Marni who now wiped the tears Arin had spilled since.

There was no answer from Arin's mouth other than a cry. In his life today was a very painful day. During his new life this time Arin felt a deep loss.

All the relatives watched as Bu Sofia was buried. Including some neighbors whose homes are not so far away, they took the time to come to Bu Sofia's hometown.

Almost everyone gave support to Arin to be patient in this disaster. But the words from them could not stop Arin's tears from flowing. Not felt after the funeral was closed with prayer.

Everyone broke up, but Arin still wanted to be in his mother's custody. Arin was still lamenting the passing of her mother. Arin still feels sad when she loses her mother.

"Don't leave Arin ma'am" said Arin, still crying.

"Have a child, don't cry" said Bi Marni who immediately took Arin to go home..

"But Arin still wants to be here bi" replied Arin who refused Bi Marni's invitation.

But Bi Marni still invited Arin

go home because it's getting dark.

Flashback Off

No tears were shed as Arin recalled her mother's departure. It took even a few years for Arin to get back on his feet. Arin used to be a jolly, cheerful and humorous child. Since her mother's departure, Arin has changed. Arin tends to be a quiet kid.

Even when he was growing up, Arin was still quiet.

Eaa..

Quenza's cry immediately disperse Arin's daydream.

"Darling, cup." said Arin, holding her baby. But Quenza's cries still didn't stop. Until finally Arin gave breast milk, after a while the baby fell asleep again. Maybe he's hungry.

Some time Arin breastfeeding Quenza finally Arin fell asleep beside Quenza. A day of care for Quenza makes Arin feel tired quickly.
