The Choice of Mama

Funeral

During the journey Adel was silent, he stared out with a blank look. I can't wait to go to Papa's grave. When he got married, he never visited his father's grave.

Even before marriage he could every day or 2 days to the tomb of his father.

After waiting for almost 45 minutes finally the car they were riding in front of the tomb gate.

Slowly Adel began to set foot in front of the tomb gate, they walked together while carrying a plastic bag containing flowers.

Grind by foot, getting closer to a mound. And they came to a tomb that looked clean. Adel stared at the nano at the tombstone. His papa's name has faded.

Adel approached and squatted. “Dad, Kaka came” wirih Adel by wiping his papa headstone. “But Adel did not come alone pa. Adel brought papa's son-in-law, opa's future grandchildren and Adel's two sisters pa” murmured Adel in heart.

Tests

Adel could not hold back his tears. His shoulders started shaking tears were shed already.

“Assalamu”alaykum pa, This is Adel” Adel said by forcing a smile.

“And this next to Adel is the first son-in-law of papa his name is Mas Kevin pa” Adel began to introduce.

“Assalamu’alaykum papa-in-law” greet Kevin

Axel and Aqila approached beside her empty Papa's tomb and crouched down.

“Halo pa. This is Axel and this is Aqila pa” Axel said with teary eyes

“Is papa happy there?” ask Axel in your heart

“Axel always doain papa happy there pa, papa there also doain us here ya pa. We love you very much papa. Sorry we just saw papa because the last few months brother Adel in difficult times pa. Papa must know right, surely now papa again play the same granddaughter opa there well. Pray for the second opa granddaughter to be stomach Adel healthy yes pa” muttered Axel in the heart.

Aqila herself? He was silent with a flat face and his gaze fixed on the gravestone in front of him. His eyes stared at the headstone of the papa.

“Assalamu’alaykum papa. Maybe from Aqila born until now Aqila never saw papa. Aqila has never felt papa's embrace, Aqila has never been able to kiss papa. But Qila was sure that papa was very fond of Qila pa. Aqila knows Papa's there must be happy. Qila loved papa very much. Pray for a healthy mom and we are dad's kids too. Relax there pa” shrieked Qila with tears.

Adel was in the arms of her husband he sobbed. A painful longing, a longing that cannot meet must be felt. He remembered when his Papa died he was the backbone of the family. Schools rely on scholarships and assistance. Eat him work part-time. I don't know where and when he's using it as much as possible.

“I miss papa mas” shrewd Adel in Kevin's arms

His voice was slow but Kevin could still hear. Kevin tightened his arms. Maybe he has never felt it but he understands the meaning of loss is very painful.

“Sabar darling inget papa already happy there” said Kevin

Adel loosened his arms, he wiped his tears and looked back at the grave of the father.

“Papa Adel promises this the last time Adel cried when visiting papa. Adel needain when here again Adel will not cry anymore pa. Papa can definitely see us from up there right, hope papa happy there pa. We are here to be happy too. We love papa.” Swiping papa's headstone.

Then the four of them began to close their eyes to pray after they finished sprinkling flowers. Until the flowers run out they immediately stand up and slowly leave the tomb of the father.

Adel is still walking while hugging the husband, Axel was holding the younger brother. He understood that his sister missed him very much. From childhood he also never tasted the affection of the father. For God loves the father more and takes him first.

After entering the car they immediately left the tomb to return home. Because the vehicles began to solidify at last nearly an hour they just arrived at home.

“You change clothes and then breakfast yah” Adel said to his two younger siblings.

Axel and Aqila nodded then Adel walked towards the mama's room.

Chequelek

It looks like my mom is sitting in bed. Mama Angel also stared at the sound of the door opening, her smile was even raised when she saw her son enter.

“Assalamu’alaykum ma” said Adel then kissed the mother's forehead

“Wa’alaykumsalam darling” Mama Angel replied

“Why baby?” ask Mama Angel

“Mama must promise to heal yah” said Adel by holding both hands of the mother.

“God willing, dear. If god loves mama health insya god mama will be back healthy” said Mama Angel with a smile.

“Mama must be well-healed, remember there is a granddaughter here” brought the hand of the mother to touch her stomach. “Mama's grandson here wants to play with omanya” Adel continued

“Iya dear mama promise will be cured” said the spirit of Mama Angel. He slowly rubbed the child's stomach. “Hallo prospective grandchildren oma, healthy stomach mommy yah” said Mama Angel soft.

“Each oma” Adel imitates the voice of a small child

Then the two laughed together, that afternoon they spent joking in Mama Angel's room. Until the sound of knocking disperse them.

Tok tok tok tok

“Masuk” shouted Adel

Chequelek

“Sayang” call Kevin

“Oh for Kevin. What's up baby?” adel asked and slowly got out of bed

“You haven't had breakfast lo” Kevin chose to whisper he was afraid of making his mother-in-law worried.

Adel flinched and then smiled a little.

“Sorry yes mas, Adel forgot hehe" small smile

“Come now” take Kevin

Adel nodded and said goodbye to her mother before leaving her room.

Adel walked towards the dining table with his hand still held tightly by Kevin. Start taking a seat then drop himself on the available chair.

Adel starts picking up the plate but the plate flies right into Kevin's hand.

“Mas who tookin”

“But don't” shakes Adel

“Sayang” woo Kevin

“Baik”

Adel could only give in if faced with her husband. Her husband is very self-determining.

He cannot be confused if there is a husband. His sharp gaze was indeed beautiful but made Adel's guts shrink. A scary look and a terrible grin always crossed Adel's mind. But he always brushed it off because Kevin had never been rude to Adel. Especially hitting even though they used to be forced or arranged but a detail of Kevin never hit him.
