SOULMATES

SOULMATES
Back to papi's house



I dreamt of being in a building, both with my son Jarel. He wants to go to the supermarket for shopping.


I entered the building, headed for the 3rd floor, but inside the building it was so dark that there were no lights on, I kept circling around the building looking for the supermarket, but I didn't find it either.


I kept looking for a way out, because the hallways of this building are very dark, and also filled with ruins of former buildings like this building has been hit by an earthquake. I saw the rubble of the building and also the road is very dirty like there is a water pipe in the building that leaked because of the ruins of the building.


My son Jarel is crying in fear.


"Where are we? " Jarel asked while holding my hand very tightly.


"You don't know a either, it looks like we're lost."


"Fear." Jarel closed his eyes and cried."


"We walk again yuk a. " I held my son's hand and walked.


I tried to keep going despite my fatigue, because it was going around in circles for too long inside this dark building.


Until I saw a very bright room, then I approached the room, I entered it turned out to be a mosque. Zara saw many people here performing congregational prayers.


Zara and Jarel looked at everyone in the mosque, but none of them had their faces. All of them glowed and used white cloth, whether it was mukena or what was clear was all white until I could not bear to see his face one by one.


zara ventured closer to the one person sitting on the pulpit. Like I was teaching. I ventured to approach her trembling while holding tightly onto my son's hand.


"May I ask? "


"The man raised his bowed head, looking at me who was approaching him. "


I could not recognize his face, for it was so very shining, that I covered my eyes with my own hands.


"Pa can I ask you a question? I'm looking for the exit of this building. I was going shopping, but my son and I were lost not knowing the way out of this building.


The man said nothing just raising his hand and pointing to a bright door that was right in front of him.


My heart is so happy because that man can show me the way.


"Thank you pa. "


The man remained silent not saying a word.


"Let's Jarel go there? "


My son is still trembling in fear.


I tried to get up and walk towards the door. Up to the door I saw from behind the glass door look a supermarket that can be said to be luxurious I have never seen her in this world for real.


Before long the glass door of this supermarket opened itself. I saw a very big piece of writing WELCOME.


Son smile.


"Well in. "I clasped my son's hand and set foot into this fancy supermarket."


I could not blink because there were so many people shopping here, little kids playing, running around. Ball shower and so on. Not to mention so many foods, ranging from fruits, vegetables, groceries, clothes, furniture are all there. I've never seen a super market like this before.


All the faces of the people here look happy, cheerful full of laughter. I looked back at the entrance of the dark building. Apparently disappeared.invisible building with the ruins that I had been through it.


"Well, let's play, let's take a ball bath. "


My son pulled my hand, and surprised me who was pensive at the thought of the entrance.


"Oh yes. Come onl. "


Suddenly I woke up, it was just a dream.


My heart is beating so hard. I'm trying to catch my breath. Zara looked at the Clock, it turned out to be 3 and a half hours.


I went to the bathroom to fetch water and pray.


After the prayer I asked God.


"God is the dream a sign from you. Is the dream a sign that my exam is over. Hope so. Now I have to step into the future with my son, and forget all the past, forget everything. Because the story series is over, Ditto, the car, and Rangga all just stay the story and I close my old book, now I open a new chapter in my life.


May my future be the same as the one I saw in that supermarket. Full of laughter, happiness and abundance of sustenance. Despite living alone with Jarel.


In the morning, as usual, I walked Jarel to school. Until school, I went back to school to pick her up.


"Make jarel here."


The teacher called me.


"Yes mom. " I walked over to Jarel's two teachers.


"Well, Jarel, I'm sorry, Jarel, he's bleeding. It was just after the break of the collision with his friend, got a tooth."


"Yes, it's nothing. Her teeth stuck in aa ga? " I asked my son.


"No".


"Sorry yes, I was taking care of the new kid who vomited, just out Jarel his forehead was bleeding. Collision with his friend, Run. " Say the teacher to me.


"Yes, it's nothing. Jarel can not be diem if healthy, very active sonknya. Diem means sick. "


"Yes, rich yesterday was the one that got sick a week. "


"Yes mom. "


"Jarel just rest, yes, fear later dizzy his head. "


"Yes mom is nothing. "


"Jarel said yes ma'am. " I say goodbye to the teacher.


My son doesn't want to wear a hat. Because his forehead hurts.


"You want to go to the house first? " I asked Jarel.


"No, go straight home. "


"Yes already. "


At home, Jarel took a nap. Tumben, maybe because the head is dizzy times yes, he usually never naps.


I went to the store, but I didn't shop. Because the money is used ice cream and snack first from the sales to the store.


My father told me.


"Zara there's an om. "


"Just let alone, ga pesen really, the responsibility of bathing Jarel also admitted. Wanna just maybe the om her."


"Oh yes. "


I've seen the om hang out in the store with my dad for a while. Maybe home goods from a neighbor wholesaler.


The next night when I was waiting for the shop while singing. Suddenly there was a man in front of my shop.


"Astagfirullah, Om shocked Zara swore. Dateng ain't saying. "I saw him suddenly standing in front of the store.


"He. he's... Very fun with his singing. " Say the om to me.


"Remain by Zara now. Sing, eat, sleep, write a novel, wait for the store. You know come out fat aja. ha. ha... "


"Huh. huh.. No such happy features. "


"Yes, but Zara's not spending today."


"Yes no, just want to buy a drink, same photocopy. When's shopping? Yesterday afternoon also om lama here Zara her no."


"Tomorrow at best, the money will be used for other shopping first. Yesterday afternoon again bathe Jarel Zara his o'm."


"Oh yes."


"This is a copy of KK."


"Far photocopies here, there are also many" Zara said with a laugh.


"Expensive, if here it is cheap, the same as the refillable gallon water in the Zara store that was purchased yesterday. If it's in that store decket that's expensive."


"Bas with om." Good thing I didn't give you that gallon of water. Let Rangga have stomach pain later when drinking that water. Ha.ha.. It can't be Zara you can't be evil with people.


"It's already." I gave the photocopy to the om.


"Good result too." Say the om while looking at the results of his KK photocopy.


"Yes dong, even if the engine is small. What matters is that the results are good."


"Yes." Yeah."


What the hell Zara can't do, whatever Zara can do on her own, let alone make money. Zara.


Most only conquered the heart of Rangga that Zara could not do all this time. Oops. .. go back there again.
