The Will of a Mate From Uncle

Pamit's gone

A week had passed and he had passed by the solitude of the house, and was also reminded of a message he had received from his late uncle.

Neta who was sitting in the middle room, her mind was not calm. In fact, to make breakfast alone feels lazy.

In fact, the sound of knocking on the door and also the sound of calling his name he did not hear at all.

"Meta, open the door, son. It's Mom, son." Call Mother Neta while knocking on the door.

Realizing from her daydream, Neta immediately got up from her sitting position and rushed to open the door.

"Mothers. Sorry, Neta wasn't heard, ma'am. Come on Mom, come on in." Say Neta who just opened the door, and also invite her into the house.

"Yes, son, it's okay. Here, I brought green bean porridge for you." Ibu Winda replied and went into the house after the bowl of porridge was received by Neta.

"Please sit down, Mom. Sorry, it's still a mess." Say Neta invite to sit down to Madam Winda.

"Yes, son." Replied Ms. Winda and sat while watching around the room.

'This house will be a memory of Neta, very sad for the journey of his life. Both of his dead parents, as well as his uncle who had now left him as well. Hopefully in the city later the Neta will find his happiness.' Inner Mother Winda while praying goodness for Neta whom she had considered her own child.

"Mom, how come you daydream? Mommy got a problem?"

Ms. Winda was immediately awoken from her daydream.

"No, Son. I'm just imagining that if you go into town, this house will be deserted." Replied Ms. Winda tried not to show her sadness, because the real one also did not want to separate.

"Eat it, Mom. Neta actually does not want to go to the city, but on the other hand, Neta is also unlikely to ignore the will of the uncle. Neta's confused, Mom." Neta's words felt lethargic, and also with her grieving expression.

The Winda Mother who could not bear to see Neta was sad, immediately changed position and sat next to her.

Then, Mommy Winda embraced and hugged her, like a mother herself who gave peace to her own daughter.

"Now it has been ten days since your late uncle left, and you have also been allowed to go to the city. If you are confused, there you will be many thoughts later. Besides, it's also dear to your health if you have a lot of thoughts." Reply Ibu Winda tried to calm the mind of Neta who felt tired.

"Yes, Mom. But, Neta was afraid that Neta's arrival would be ignored." The words of Neta were filled with fear, the more she would face were not people she knew, Neta thought.

"Let you take a bath first, after that eat the porridge. I'll help you pack. But, I want some houses first, all take a shower too. Later when I do, I'm here again." Answer Mother Winda.

"Thank you a lot, Mom. I'm sorry, if Neta's been bothering me a lot all this time. Forgive Neta too, who has not been able to repay Mother's kindness." Neta.

"You don't need to apologize, because I already considered you Mother's own daughter. Yes, yes, I want to go home first. Don't forget to eat the porridge, keep taking a shower."

"Yes, Mom. Thanks again, Mom."

After Ibu Winda left, Neta was now alone again in her house. Not wanting her time wasted, also having to clean up her house, Neta rushes to clean up. Then, he ate his porridge, and continued to clean the house.

While tidying up the room that her uncle occupied, Neta found a long-standing photo on the table.

He saw the photo while rubbing it.

"This is the only photo that still exists, a photo that holds memories for uncle. There's a father, a mother, an uncle, and an aunt, there's me too." He said softly while observing the photo, and did not realize if Neta shed tears.

Not wanting to lose a valuable item even if it was just a photo, Neta kept it in her bag. Then, proceed again to clean up his uncle's room.

Not long after, Ms. Winda came again to help Neta clean up her house before being left to go to the city.

Finished some, Neta felt relieved because the contents in the house were neatly arranged.

"So, your decision's been unanimous, isn't it, son?" ask Ms. Winda finished helping Neta clean up her house.

"Yes, Mom. Neta's decision is now unanimous, that Neta will go to the city. You are also curious about the contents of the message from the late uncle. It can't be just an arranged marriage, there may be something else." Reply Neta trying to think positive, even if somehow the reality later.

"Well, if so, I go home first. I also want to go to the fields, later this afternoon here again. All of you, accompany you to the house of Mr. Maman to come to the city. About the cost, later Mother will pay. Money you keep just in case, because we don't know later. Yes, yes, my mother came home. Don't mind a lot, keep thinking positive, just relax." Said Madam Winda, Neta also nodded, a sign of yes.

After Ibu Winda returned to his home, Neta who no longer works, also chose to rest so that his mind was a little calm. Until it did not feel the time was already afternoon, Ibu Winda came back and invited Neta to go to the place of Mr. Maman to be asked for a ride.

When I got the permit and Ms. Winda had paid the cost of Neta's trip to the city, Ms. Winda invited her to go to the food stall, enjoying the togetherness that might rarely meet. In fact, it could be months no longer meet.

Finished enjoying her dinner on the side of the road, Neta and Miss Winda return home to Neta. Togetherness between Ms. Winda and Neta for the last time she met, and stayed overnight.

The morning was busy, Neta assisted by Ms. Winda to get ready.

"This, I've brought provisions for you later on the journey. You will have a long journey to the city. So, when in the car you feel hungry, you can eat this stock. Never be ashamed, we will lose ourselves. One more thing, take good care of yourself. You want to be a strong child, don't be weak. You already have the stock of martial arts, use it to take good care of yourself, yes." Said the Winda Mother did not forget to give small advice and also a message for Neta.

"Yes, Mom. Thank you very much, Mom. Neta will remember her advice and messages from Mom, take good care of yourself. If there's free time, Neta's gonna go see Mom." Neta answered and hugged her tightly.
