The Voice of the Husband
Pilgrimage
Two-headed little boy shows up with bi Inul. The two old men immediately got up. Smile when he sees his healthy and fat grandson. It looks so cute and adorable.
"Darling, let's salim the same grandfather and grandmother." obediently, Yumna followed her daddy's orders. Kissing the hands of two parents who said his daddy was his grandfather and grandmother.
"Smart son." praise Fira's mother, the biological mother of Naren's first wife Shafira.
"Daddy, how come Yumna's got grandparents again? Kan grandpa and grandma are abroad rich opah same omah." with her cute face, Yumna asked her daddy after finishing kissing the hands of her grandparents from the path of mother.
Nara smiled, gently rubbing the top of Yumna's head. He sat the little boy on his lap. "Darling, do you remember mommy's story?" slowly, Nara began to remind her grandfather and grandmother of her daughter.
Yumna nodded her head. "Just as rich opah same omah that Yumna met yesterday. They are your mother's father. That's why you call them grandparents." she explained to Yumna.
Without asking much more, Yumna nodded. Understand what your mommy is explaining. "Where does mother matter? How come Grandpa's just two grandmas?" he asked his grandfather and grandmother who were now looking at him with a look of amazement. Her face resembles that of their daughter, Shafira. Which went missing seven years ago.
Fira's mother excitedly replied, "You miss your mother, huh? Grandpa and grandma here also want to invite you to meet your mother. You want one, baby?" take it to the grandson.
"Yes. But, Una wants to walk the same daddy same mommy." reply Yumna.
Naren recalled, if today they would go for a walk to the zoo. However, his in-laws' invitation to meet his late first wife, was much more important. Because, this was the first time Yumna and her grandparents made a pilgrimage. A rare moment.
"Honey, we'll meet your mother first. After that we take a walk. Yea?"
"Yes, that's it. Let's meet mom first. Later abis meet our mother to see the animal." reply Yumna who immediately made her grandparents smile.
They leave for TPU (Public Burial Place) which takes about ten minutes.
"Alhamdulillah. We finally arrived."
They all got out of the car. Walking together towards the cemetery with a bag of flowers they had just bought.
Because every Friday, Naren always took the time to make a pilgrimage. Sending his best prayers to women who have fought to be willing to stretch their lives for their children.
Yumna came down from her grandfather's sling. Squatting and rubbing a gravestone reading 'Shafira Nur Kafah'. "This is mom?" ask everyone.
Fira's mother crouched down. Gently rubbed his grandson's back. "Yes dear. She's your mother. Keep doing him yes." answered Fira's mother while also staring at her daughter's headstone.
His eyes welled up, the beautiful memory with his daughter vividly remembered in the heart. Moreover, seeing his granddaughter who was hugging a cold headstone bearing the name of his mother. Heart's full.
Naren who saw that could not hold back his tears. Not wanting to look sad by his daughter, Naren quickly rubbed the being feathers that flowed on his cheeks.
"Mother, Una will always doain mother. May you go to heaven. We meet in heaven. Wait for Una there. Una dear mother." the little boy tightly hugged his mother's tombstone. His sense of longing made him unable to escape even a bit from the tombstone bearing the name of his parents.
Want him to see the figure of his mother, his sweet smile and feel the tenderness of a mother.
But, with the figure of the mommy, making Yumna not sad anymore. Her mommy is her mother too.
"Una dear mother." afterwards, Yumna kissed the tombstone with longing.
