THE FORGOTTEN MOTHER'S

RENATA HEMSWORTH

The clear circles touched Renata's smooth white face. The blue netra looks sad. Renata is currently in the room where her mother is being treated, lying weakly on top of a patient's bed in a third-grade room of the hospital in a Toronto suburb.

Jemari Renata clasped Sophia's hand tightly. Some time ago Renata was contacted by the hospital, conveying the state of Sophia who again experienced anfal and doctors suggested that Sophia immediately undergo heart bypass surgery. Heart surgery that does not work optimally anymore.

Actually today there is happy news for him because the house conveys the condition Sophia can be operated . But again Renata had to hold back because he had to pay half the cost of surgery in advance. It was a fantastic cost for Renata and Renata not to have that kind of money.

"R-jam..."

There was a soft sound of Renata's daydreaming. The lowered Renata did not dare to raise his face. While Sophia, the middle-aged woman forced herself to smile seeing her beloved daughter by the bedside.

Renata was shocked, he quickly rubbed his face. Of course Renata did not want his mother to see him cry because he was sad.

"Hm..mah, is your mom awake? Hm, briefly...

Quickly Renata got up from her seat, picked up a drink for Sophia at the table in the corner of the room. Renata tries to avoid looking at Sophia. Don't let her mother know that she's crying. "Huhh", Renata took a deep breath while staring out the window. Then he turned his body back towards Sophia.

"Mama should drink first because it has been sleeping a long time. How's mom feeling now?"

"Good mom baby. Better take Mama home with you, Rena. Mama can rest at home, mama is okay son" said Sophia while drinking water given Renata.

"The cost of this hospital must be expensive, Rena. You're just working so it's best to have the money in the canister"

Renata tried to decorate her face with her best smile even though in reality her heart was crying at Sophia's words.

"R-came...Uhukk"

Sophia pressed against her chest, unable to continue with her words. Only a gentle look was emitted from his face.

"Mama, relax. Don't talk much, mama's claustrophobic. Anyway Renata will try to make sure that mom can be in surgery soon. Renata will meet the owner of the cafe where Rena works, hopefully with a home certificate our boss Rena wants to lend some money. Rena can repay it with a pay cut and add a part-time job" said Renata sound optimistic while holding Sophia's fingers tightly.

"Darling...

"There was nothing Rena wanted other than to see a healthy mama with a better heart condition. Mama must be eager to recover, while Rena will continue to try to find costs so that mama will be operated on immediately"

"Darling..."

Sophia was unable to continue her words, the clear crystal coming out by itself touching her face. The woman was moved to hear the words of her only daughter who had sacrificed too much for her. Even Renata gave up her teenage years by working part-time to earn extra income for her recovery.

Renata embraces Sophia's body. "I will work hard so that my mother can be healthy again. I don't want to lose my mom. Just the mama I have in this world", said Renata sobbing while wiping her tears.
