The Dancer
#Minds#
until a few days later, I was still working, as usual, I came at the same hour and went home too, but during my time at work there were no distractions that meant just the screams of men who were mad at seeing my erotic dance, and the curves of the body that were only wrapped in thin silk cloth, she said, I no longer use lingerie.
until there was a handsome young man who dared to go up and dance with me, that man might only be two years different above me, until the screams of the audience grew even more crazy because of that young man, he said, it turns out good at dancing with a flexible body and athletic, very tempting.
this time the audience was not only from among men but also women, merged into one, until suddenly someone stopped his music and immediately pulled me away.
I continued to follow her wide steps, because my hand was held by her so tightly, that she threw me onto the soft sofa, right in the VVIP room she used to stop by.
"Ahhhhhh" my cry felt really sick, getting that treatment.
"I've let you, for a few days, but you dare to make me, upset by your attitude, if you want to dance then dance in front of me" Marvin said.
I just kept silent while staring fixedly at the face of the handsome man who had all this time, disappeared from my sight, I guess he was like another man who would leave after getting bored of getting nothing, I guess, but this guy is so different.
"I didn't mean it, he came suddenly there was no way I could stop my work immediately" I said as I fixed my seat, and took out his suit which he still wore, I ventured to let go of it, because my body was so cold.
if I was sweating it was because I was dancing, but when I was silent it was very cold coupled with the sharp eyes of her.
"I'm cold" I said again.
"stop from this job" he said firmly.
"I'll quit after my contract is done" I said.
"I'm not asking but I'm ordering you, if you don't want your legs broken" he said.
"Don't threaten me anymore, I can't go out, I don't have much money to pay the fine" I said honestly.
the man immediately threw the grayish-black card at me, and I just fell silent.
"Use that, to pay and finance your living needs, then finish your college" the man said.
"I am not a beggar, nor a woman who likes to use men, I work hard to support myself and my family, whatever they want to say this is illegal money, at least I don't trouble anyone else" he said.
"Go home and take the card, end the contract" the man said sternly as he walked away without asking for his oversized suit, returned.
"I don't know who you are? I hope this is the best" I said softly.
I walked into my room and Doni followed me, asking, if you go out, now there's no change that's as good as you" said Doni, who waited for me to get out of the dressing room.
"I just want to prove his point, but if he's just playing around, I won't hesitate to make him regret" I replied.
"Reverse there are you who regret" said Doni.
"I'm not the kind of woman who laments my fate, I can get up when I'm down and I can run when I want" she said.
our conversation ended when two bodyguards came to us he wanted to pick me up, as Marvin had ordered.
the man, never denied though, was the best for me.
I came home early tonight as usual I'll clean myself up first before I finally meet Mami.
and when I met Mami, it turned out that my angel was sick, even I panicked when I saw that there was a blood stain attached to the knitting scarf, which he was currently using.
"Mam.I started to cry, but she always tried to stop my crying, it turns out that all this time, she often hid her pain on me, she was always trying to stop my crying.Mam, the woman who was so noble had secretly been hiding her pain all this time I thought it was just heart disease that she suffered, until the surgery was done but it turned out not only that.
another illness he hid with the help of a doctor, so that I wouldn't panic.
I immediately ran to my room, I took the cardigan because at this time, I only use the tangtop and hotpants, I just grabbed my bag not to forget also my phone, I ran down the stairs, I ,go to mami's room.
I immediately contacted Doni, who was still at the club that night because the man was looking after his foster child.
until Doni heard the sound of my crying and screaming calling for help because mommy was getting more and more fresh blood from her mouth and nose.
I ran out of the house but no one heard me shout, until Doni came to me, he ran as hard as he could towards the direction I was pointing, there my mother was unconscious.
doni and I raised the slender body of my mother who had been suffering from internal medicine.
until I got to the car I held my mother's head which I kept calling so that she would wake up again.
when they arrived at the hospital, they immediately helped my mother, and my mother was treated by a doctor in the IGD room, the hospital.
I cried while hugging Doni, even I did not care about the people who were staring at me, my cry broke, until Doni also hugged my body that was almost full of weakness.
"The fire is gone, how can I be strong Doni, I even willing to work in that place just for the healing of mami but, mami instead hide all this"it hurt a lot when I saw my mother's face in pain.
a few minutes later, the doctor came out, with his face down.
🌸...................🌸
"Everything, it's too late, your mother can no longer follow up, because her breast cancer, has spread to her lungs and heart now all we have to do is pray for her"said the doctor who seemed sorry for not being able to help him.
I entered accompanied by Doni, because my body was really weak even I felt like I wanted to die, right now so that I could be with my mother but God did not allow that.
I looked at my mother, who was currently using oxygen because her breathing was choking, she tried to smile at me, then said"Mami is no longer strong enough to hold all this back,mami hopes you can live better, after mommy is gone later, stop working baby, the job is very dangerous, mami still save a little money leftover papi, all mami keep meetings, mami keep, all for your future, use all that well, Mami is no longer strong" he said while trying to reach the top of my head.
I approached and hugged her tightly as well as the mother who kissed my forehead, while blessing" Mami, deeply in love and affectionate with you my beloved little daughter, take good care of your sister, take good care of your sister, to Papi" she said, and finally she left quietly and a face full of smiles.
"Mommy!! my screams, after which I remember nothing more, until I woke up in the morning, the sound of the middle man reading the holy verse of the Quran so echoed in my ears, suddenly I saw someone sitting next to my bed.
Doni, who could never be away from me, was then due to his pity perhaps.
"Wake up and clean yourself up immediately, you have to take your mom to her final resting place" said Doni, I'm like a man with no soul, I walk to the bathroom, I walk to the bathroom, and I took a bath to clean my body, I also took ablution and changed my clothes with my black robe, not forgetting the black pashmina scarf, I walked over to Doni, I walked over to Doni, while carrying my Quran.
I descended still with nothingness to the living room, when I got there I could not see the body of the mother who had been wrapped in a shroud and covered with a long cloth.
"Mami. hiks hiks hiks mami.."my crying broke again some mothers immediately approached me, giving advice so that I was strong I had tried to strengthen my heart, I opened my Quran, and I read it in front of the body of the deceased mami, with sobs that kept coming out of my lips, interjected by the reading, until I finished reading it.
mr. Ustadz asked me if there was anything to wait for or not, but I said nothing, because my mother was a kara and Papi's family, no one cares anymore except for Reyhan's brother who is in America, right now.
until finally Doni helped lift the body of the mother towards the ambulance, someone suddenly embraced my waist, while whispering.
"Sorry, I'm late, last night I was out of town, and I rushed here when I heard this news" said the man who turned out to be Marvin.
"It's okay" I replied softly.
I also went in Marvin's car with him and his driver.
until I arrived at the funeral, I came down with shaky steps, but the burly hands, immediately holding my body, my cries broke again when the body of the mother was put into a burrow.
"Mami!. hiks hiks hiks mami, I almost fell if Marvin did not hold my body tightly.
"This heart is so painful to see your departure, but I can't do anything either, my efforts are in vain I've failed to be a good boy, as expected, I'm sorry my mom" until I'm unconscious again.
I don't even know when the funeral was over, but I woke up again when I heard the sound of tahlil echoing in my house, I came down after washing my face, I saw Marvin and Doni, I saw, sitting next to Mr. Ustadz, the man I often met was reading tahlil like what Mr. ustadz did, I sat at the end of the lowest rung with tears, I read tahlil to the deceased mami, she is a prayer woman during her life, a woman who is even willing to accept all the provisions available.
still remembered in his mind, when his Papi asked for help because his second wife was sick, Mami even took care of women who now did not even Sudi present on the last day of Mami.
not only that, whenever Papi, a sick Mami, was the first to faithfully take care of her, and the woman would only look for face, but Mami, never protest or complain, never complained, These tears I could not bear anymore, the pain was very painful if remembered with great difficulty Mami prepared breakfast, with halal money, as she had given all this time, while the illegal money instead I used to pay for my mother's hospital biyaya .
until Marvin approached and stroked the top of my head.
"Don't be sad anymore, you should pray, that your mother is happy, because you have got a perfect daughter like you, your mother must be proud because she knows her daughter is the best" Marvin said.
"Thank you but I'm not that good, I'm covered in sin" said my spirit who now buried my face in the chest of his field.
Marvin lifted my body and took me up to the sofa still in the room below because the room was without a bulkhead.
I fell down next to Marvin.
"This afternoon I'm going back out of town, please don't do anything stupid, and wait for me to come back" she said softly.
"I'll just stay here, besides being eaten by my mother" I replied.
"Don't visit alone, I don't want you to go and go with my driver, from now on, when I'm not around, you can only go if you're escorted by him, this is for your safety"marvin.
not without reason Marvin said that, because Marvin's fiance is not a random person, if he knows Marvin close to Ariana, the woman will be angry, even though Marvin, Marvin, is not a random person, just wanted to play around with her.
I just nodded resignedly anyway, if Marvin wasn't there I was free, even after this I still have a lot of duties to raise my sister Liliana, who is now in her mother's house.
until the next day I went on living my life, I went to college and went to work, even though this time my work was behind the scenes, I trained them, in the place that Doni was , provide more like a theater building, which lectures so far.
and my job is not just to wear sexy clothes, now I am free to express myself, and my tutoring students are not from among dancers, clubs only, I also teach dance to children according to age, because of the talent I have, it's a derivative of Mami.
