The Charm Behind the Mist

Mudguardism

~Happy Reading~

After finishing sewing the satin material, Miss Nancy showed her how to make a ribbon of satin and tile. Carren took a serious look at what his mother had taught him.

Miss Nancy knows, her daughter is looking for busyness to eliminate her heartbreak. Therefore, he let Carren help him.

"Let's do what you can, Mama's cooking for our dinner. If you feel cape' leave it or take a pillow in the living room to sit." Said Miss Nancy, then left Carren alone in her sewing room.

Carren did as his mother taught him. When he starts mastering it, he makes it as he likes. He made a new creation, but not much different from what his mother taught him.

It did not take long, Mama's workspace was full of various forms of tile and satin ribbons. She makes it in a variety of beautiful shapes.

Carren separates all the ready-made ribbons, so it can be easier to see what has not been done. He lifted up all the ready-made ribbons, and placed them on the living room chair.

Then he finished the unworked and moved everything that was done to the living room chair. Then he cleaned the room and tidied up the unfinished stitches of his mother.

Her mama's sewing room was very messy, as there was no one to help her to tidy up. Because Miss Nancy when it's cape' sewing, do not have time and energy to clean the workspace.

While Carren when he came home from school only helped clean the house, because his mother's work space continues to be used for sewing. Until he just saw it, his mother's workspace was very messy.

When Ms. Nancy finished cooking and returned to her sewing room, she was very surprised to see a pile of ribbons in the living room chair.

"Ara, you make it really fast and the ribbon shape is better than Mama's." Said Miss Nancy, amazed to see what Carren has done is not as he imagined.

"Really, Ma...?" Carren asked delightedly, looking at her cheerful Mama's face.

"Yeah, Arra. You make better and the shape of the ribbon is very beautiful. Aunt Florens would love to see this." Miss Nancy said happily, without being able to hide her admiration.

"Ma, does the bride's family ask for an all-white room decor?" Carren asked, wondering. Because the satin and tile made into a ribbon are only white.

"It doesn't seem like all white. Later H will be added with other colored flowers. Why are you asking that?" Mom asked Nancy to look at Carren's face.

"Ngga, Mom. Just ask, Arra thinks everything is white. Will H, Arra's day help Mama and Aunt Florens decorate the room?" Carren asked, wanting to see the ribbons he had made attached to his place.

"Let's ask Aunt Florens. He would be very happy if Arra could help. Now Arra takes a shower first, before we eat. The hot water bucket is already Mama put in the bathroom. Mama wants us to eat early, so you can rest early too." Miss Nancy explained, and Carren nodded in understanding.

She knew her mother was still worried about her condition. Because even though he has been strengthened, he still looks not recovered as before.

While Carren was in the shower, Miss Nancy contacted Ms. Florens to talk about Carren's wishes that would help them with the decorations.

When she heard what Miss Nancy said, Ms. Florens agreed and was very happy, if Carren would help them decorate. Ms. Nancy was also happy to hear what Ms. Florens said.

"Arra, let's sit here with Mama. Mama spoke to Aunt Florens." Said Miss Nancy, pointing at the dining table chair.

"How, Ma. Does Aunt Florens allow Arra to help?" Carren asked, after sitting in the front seat of his Mama, because she wanted to know.

"Yes, Aunt Florens let you help. So Arra can help Mama and Aunt Florens if Arra does not have a busy life. But Arra doesn't try to force it, yeah." Said Miss Nancy, so Carren wouldn't be burdened.

"Yes, Ma. Arra understood Mama's intentions. Later Arra noticed the others as well, in addition to helping Mama and Aunt Florens." Said Carren, understanding his mother's intentions. Because maybe Carren still wants to find a place to go to college.

"Now, Arra rest first. Mama still wants to finish the stitching of unfinished clothes. Because who has to take it tomorrow." Miss Nancy, explain.

"Good, Ma. If the ribbon is for decoration, Arra will help you finish it tomorrow. So Mama just leave what's left." Said Carren, and Miss Nancy nodded in understanding.

After she finished talking to her mother, Carren went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and then to the room to rest. Given what her mother had told her that Ms. Florens allowed her to help, her heart was relieved. It was a little comforting to his heart, because he would have busy as long as he could not go to college.

Because he could not determine yet, what he would do if he really could not go to college. He could not decide what was good for him. Because what he was thinking at this time, helping his mother and how to go to college.

Therefore, in addition to helping her mother, Carren tried to find a way to go to college. There may be other Universities offering scholarships for prospective new students.

After searching, he did not find the University that gave the scholarship still opening admission. All have closed admissions and have conducted entrance exams.

Due to the concentration for the entrance exam in the House, Carren paid no attention to the other Universities. By the time he needed it, it was too late to sign up. All have closed admissions and have done entrance exams. Realizing that, she stopped looking and started thinking about how to help her Mama's work.

Carren avoids conversations in WA groups with his friends. Because there was only a conversation about the college entrance exam. Jokes of laughter and fun because they have taken the entrance exam at the University they want. It doesn't suit Carren's mood. Therefore, he does not listen or read all the posts in the group. Because it would add to the wound in his heart.

Carren hasn't been able to rest yet, as it may be that his afternoon break is too long. He saw and studied tetorial decorating the Church or reception building. He had to look for busyness before deciding what to do after not being able to go to college this year.

He was thinking of helping his Mama and Aunt Florens decorate, while looking for work for SMU graduate children. When he thought about that, his heart became very sad. 'Could there be a good job for people who are just SMU graduates?' Carren sat in with a sad and anxious heart.

Previously he had not thought about being able to go to college, which was important to be able to complete his High School. But now thinking about working, he realized there were not many job options for people who were just SMU graduates. It made his eyes dewy. In his grief, he saw and read a writing that was very touching and also encouraging him.

*When the rain hits, keep moving and keep praying. In front there is a bright sky waiting for you, there is even a tinge of rainbow 🌈 to complement your fortitude and prayer.*

The quote was as intended for him. Carren read it again and again. He raised his face that had been alkaline by tears. Then he prayed as he clenched his rumbling chest, moved.

"Pity me, O Lord, for I am claustrophobic; I know not what is before me."
