Set of Hope

eps. 35

The morning sky was so dark that it accompanied the funeral procession of a beakbaya woman. They mourn the passing of the woman back to the side of the creator. Although still do not believe in his sudden departure, but that's the reality. The fact that all living things that live will feel dead. That's true.

A crying girl hugged the mother's grave. He still could not believe that his mother had left him. It felt like the girl was whining asking to be carried by her mother. Ask to be hugged when he heard the sound of thunder booming, wearing his mother's clothes secretly in the end the mother punished him or just ask to be awakened early if going to the campus. Oh.. it's heartbreaking to remember all that.

And until the girl disappeared for three months due to coma, after realizing it he did not tell his condition so that the mother did not suffer from severe depression. The girl felt so guilty and so sorry. She blames herself for the passing of her mother.

"Mami..why go so fast? Mami..why stayin me mih.I want to join mami. Mami forgot mom's promise to Hana? Mommy danced me if I married later but why did mommy go .. mam..."

"Darling..please stop crying..If you're like this mami will be sad there, is that what you want?" Ridwan tries to take off his daughter's arms from her mother's grave but Hana brushes her father's hand away.

"Take me off.pih. Hana wants mami pih.why she went so far pih...Hana should be how pih.."

Everyone in the cemetery shed tears. After the funeral procession was completed, one by one the closest relatives and friends left the final resting place. Only Hana and her father remained.

Nay! There was one more person not far away. With a bouquet of white rose in his grasp. The man stared at the new tomb with black glasses perched right in his nose.

"Let's go home baby" Ridwan pinta told her daughter who was still crying.

"Let me briefly accompany my mother longer, please" Ridwan could not bear to leave his daughter like that.

"alright. Here's your phone. Call papi if you want to go home later you will pick me up" Hana nodded.

"Or papi will wait in the car dear"

"No need for pi. Papi just go home. Hana knows papi is tired and needs to rest. Please follow my request...Hana doesn't want papi to get sick. Enough mama's gone, papi don't..." Hana was crying again in her father's arms. Ridwan returned his daughter's embrace. Mournfully. Piteously. Feel lost. That's what they both feel.

"Mona.hopefully you're happy there if it's your choice to leave us this soon. Help me take care of our daughter, my wife..."

"It's gonna be raining soon, baby. Before that, go home. Papi doesn't want to see Papi's daughter sick either. You understand" Ridwan kissed his daughter's forehead and left his wife's belly button.

After Ridwan's departure, Hana looked back at her mother's headstone until the baritone's voice broke her daydream.

"I'm so sorry for your mother" said someone who had been watching from a distance and placed a white rose there.

"Mits...Mitchel, you know that" Hana and Mitchel asked, opening their sunglasses. Mitchell circled the tomb and squatted next to Hana.

"May I call her Mommy. I'm also missing my mommy" Mitchel's net began to tear up. Hana stared sadly as Mitchel's face turned soft, she hugged him. Trying to calm each other down. What happened to Mitchel now happened to Hana.

"Yes, you can call her mommy" said Hana.

"Mom..forgive me.." Mitchel's apology made Hana look at Mitchel who was wiping Mona's headstone. "Sorry for taking your daughter away in critical condition without your permission, mom. I'm really sorry for my selfishness at the time that made you___"

"It's not your fault Mitchel__mami must be thanking you for saving her daughter" Mitchel turned to look at Hana's forced smile. Mitchel kissed Hana's head, "excuse me___" said Mitchel regretfully. Hana nodded.

"We'd better go home, if you still want to be here, that's not a good idea. Because I don't have an umbrella in my car. So let's go home" said Mitchel clutching Hana's body to stand.

Style to quickly get to his car, Hana occasionally turned to the direction of his mother's navel.

"Mommy, may you calm down there. May God give you a beautiful place by His side. My prayer mom is always with you. Mommy I love you..."

"What's wrong with him, Eric. He was not usually drunk like that" asked Sarah who was surprised to see her son come home drunk.

"That's just oma, I don't know either. Uncle called me to pick him up at the club. Is he having a lot of oma thoughts?" bright Eric laid his uncle's body on his king size mattress.

"He..do not care.again..to me..huk" rambled Reymond unconsciously.

"Papa had advised him to rely when there was a problem do not approach the drink. See now?" That voice belongs to Norman, Papa Reymond.

"Have papa talked to Reymond when he realized, it's late at night we should sleep. Eric you better spend the night not good driving at this hour" said Sarah.

"Good oma"

"Come on Mitchel, this is my childhood home before mom and dad moved to Sidney.

Mitchel observed every room that was dimly lit.

"Maybe papi's asleep. Sit down what do you want to drink?"

"No need to bother Hana." replied Mitchel as he put his black suit on the sofa and rolled his shirt arm up to the elbow. "Which toilet is it?" Mitchel asked Hana who was boiling hot water.

Since there was no response from the girl, Mitchel repeated his question. "Oh to your left" after answering that Hana again struggled with her teacup.

In a room with minimal lighting, someone was hugging the family album. His body swung in rhythm with the rocking chair that the man was sitting on.

His gaze stared outside the balcony which he deliberately opened wide. The cold of the night wind he didn't care.

"I miss you, Mona. And I remember once after I said that, you cried happily in my arms, Mona"

Ridwan opened the next sheet.

"Your happiness is my life Mona. Look at you being happy when your beloved daughter manages to persuade you not to get angry"

Ridwan wiped his tears. "I miss you dear" said Ridwan hugging the memory album with his eyes closed. "I love you my wife"
