The Sound of Tears

Drizzle struck

It has been two months that the mother lay in the hospital, you also began to be overwhelmed looking for the cost of maternal treatment.

"Sister...mom when will my sister come home?" Ask me while crying.

"We pray'a aja yu, hopefully my mother ceoat cured😭" I said while hugging the little girl.

To help ease the burden of the Father, armed with the skills I have. I make artwork from pimpong balls that have been decorated in such a way. At first I tried the market test, selling some ornamental chimps, where one ornamental pimpong for 2 thousand rupiah, Alhamdulillah until sold a lot and the results can be for the cost of daily needs.

That afternoon I was cleaning up the textbooks, while Ayu was looking after her in the hospital. Suddenly came Salomah, the sister of my mother.

"Ella" Assalamualaikum Ella"

"Waalaikumsalam ma'am, please enter ma'am"

"Shella" Salomah's mom's face looked sad and shed tears, then she hugged me tightly.

"why mom crying mom?" I was surprised by his attitude

"Ella... You have to be patient, son. I'm sure you're a strong child". bu salomah's behavior makes me even more surprised and wonder what is going on?

"La. you have to be strong to deal with all this, I know you love your mother."

"Mom.why mother? ela doesn't understand? what's up mom? why are you crying?"

"Shella...your mother.." He hugged me back tightly.

"iya ma'am.. ela's mother why mom? ela's mother is healed? can you go home, Mom? but.. why did you cry? ela's mom is healed, huh ma'am?"

"Yes, son. but your mother came home"

"home? when can you go home, Mom?"

"that's not what shella's mother meant.Your mother can go home, but go home to her" ma'am Salomah's cries unstoppable.

"mommy mean?" ask me to make sure what exactly happened.

"your mother is dead, son, now her body is on its way here".

I could no longer say anything, and the world was dark to me.

After waking up, I daoati myself was in the room. From the outside there was a sound of crying. I still couldn't believe what I saw, my mother was gone for ever, I immediately looked for my sister and hugged her tightly.Till mother's funeral was over, tears were unceasingly flowing.

Now we can only accept the situation.

That night was just the two of us, while dad hadn't been seen since mom's funeral.

"Sister, Ayu kangen sister"

"Patience deck, we have to be strong.. God loves you more.we will pray mother calm there. Now Ayu sleep first yes, tomorrow we go to mother's grave" persuade me to calm ayu.

'Mom..shella promised to make mom always smile, even though mom is far away, I will try to achieve my dream mother' murmured in my heart.

*morning

Today felt different for me, where when I woke up I usually found my mother sitting on a chair while reading the holy verses, after which my mother made us breakfast.

I really feel lost.

'a month has passed you mother, it feels empty this world without your presence.plus since your departure father did not go home, no matter where father is. My heart is completely broken ma'am' my murmuring to the point of no tears has flooded this cheek.

Now it's just me and Ayu, no more of our brothers living here. Be it the brother of the mother or the sadara of the father, they generally live far away in the city. As for Ms. Salomah's sister from my mother, she is currently in her son's house because a few days after the departure of her mother, the granddaughter of Bu Salomah entered the Hospital because of DHF.

There was nothing more I could hope for, the food supply had been exhausted, lucky that the rice fields that my mother had been working on before long would harvest. That means temporarily I have to leave school, because I have to prepare the equipment for the harvest.

From a distance I saw Ayu running to the house in conjunction with a group of teachers and school friends.

"Sister.sister..there are friends and teacher ayu come, he said they want to see our situation sister" said the little girl with a breath that was boring.

"Yes, you don't run, you fall"

"yes sister" reply ayu.
