THE WOUNDED EARTH

LOOKING FOR YOUR SHADOW

***

YATI POV

I ran after your shadow

But as much as I try like her is just in vain

The more I chase the more your shadow moves away

Until I'm tired

***

"Sister, sister.wake up early.."

"Ah again a dream that I can never understand."in my heart.

"Come brother, keep the door of his room first.." cried Bani again from outside.

"Yes jerk off." answered me as I gradually got out of bed.

Because not being able to sleep last night made me wake up late.

"Why Tires...?"ask me by popping my head from behind the door.

"Not going to work today...?"

"Yes work but enter the day shift." I answered lazily.

"But yesterday brother entered the morning shift...?"

"Yesterday there was a friend who asked for change help because there was a family problem." my light.

"Oo that.."

"Sir, there's a bang Ronald came...?"

"Now..?"ask me wonder.

"However, it was my sister earlier.."

"What's...?"

"She's no sister, I said still not awake..."

"Keep...?"

"Yes keep bang his Ronald home."

"No message...?"

"No."

"Well, I'm going to work first, brother."

"Eh my mother is ready for breakfast...?"

"So Brother.."so Bani who then passed away.

Drupal.dreet....

A watshapp message notification came in on my phone.

"Well, where is ..?"a message from Ririn.

"At home.."I replied.

"I'm going to your house right now, there's something I want to tell you.."

I reply with thumb emoticons sign agree.

"I'd better take a bath first.."my inner.

I grabbed a towel on the clothes hanger and rushed to the bathroom.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, I went to the dinner table for breakfast.

I open the food hood at the dining table.Available fried rice and omelet that still feels warm.

Although male and young, Bani can indeed be relied on.Homework to kitchen affairs she can replace me.

Mother did educate us well, boys and girls should be able to do homework in order to be able to be independent, said the mother.

"Assalamualaikum.."ririn's voice called from outside.

"Wa alaikum salam." answered me as I walked and then opened the door for him.

"Look Rin.."tawar me.

"Why did you...?"

"You have breakfast, yuk skalian breakfast together."suggest me.

"Wah, nenak nih." he answered while filling an empty plate with fried rice.

"Hmmm so good, you make...?"

"No, Bani." answered me by continuing to bribe spoon by spoon.

"Great, Bani, very dream.."praise Ririn.

"Well, you have a boyfriend yet...?"

"I want to list as a candidate."

"Eh do not be a prospective boyfriend immediately a prospective wife if possible." he said.

"Uhuk.uhuk.." I also choked on hearing it.

"Other sister-in-law, slowly dong eat her.." said Ririn by thrusting a glass of water towards me.

"I'm not married yet." answered me with a frown.

"Ha.ha.ha.ha .."laughter Ririn heard my answer just now.

After finishing breakfast and cleaning up, we moved to my room.

"Said there was something you wanted to say to me, Rin.." I opened the conversation.

"Oh yes, here is Yat." he told me to sit in front of him.

"Yesterday night I went to the hospital with my mom, to get to the sick family."

"When I picked up the bike in the parking lot, passed a car."

"I didn't pay much attention to the person in the car before, but just as I was walking, from behind the rear view I saw Ridwan coming down from the car."

"I quickly turned around to make sure it wasn't really Ridwan.But I can't find it anymore."

"But I'm sure that's exactly Yat, if it's Ridwan's brother." - Bright Ririn at length.

I could only keep listening to all of Ririn's stories.

"The way she dressed was a bit

different the hell Yat, more classy and elegant."

"But I'm still convinced that it's Ridwan's brother." he assured me.

"Well, did you hear me...?"

"Eh yes, yes, I heard Rin.." answered me with an uncertain feeling.

"Where if tomorrow we come to the hospital, who knows later we can meet directly with Ridwan." followed Ririn.

"Well, at least we can find information when there is a hospital officer who knows Ridwan, right...?"

"Oh son, dream of it.."

"No Rin, I just thought what you saw was true, Ridwan..."

"That's Rin, my heart is still doubtful." I explained.

"That's it, tomorrow we get there .."cut Ririn fast.

"But tomorrow we're still in Rin's day shift." I hesitated.

"Take it easy, then we permit the same shift change bang Ronald must be allowed.."reply with a wink.

"Yes, I agree with Rin." I replied.

"You must be sure Yat, don't worry, I'm always there to help you."

"Let's get excited, we'll chase your love until we get it.."

"It was only after that that you helped me win Bani's heart huh.."timpalnya again with a whimper.

"Huuu.."ledek me.

We also laughed.

After Ririn's return, I went into my mother's room.

"Who's here, Yat...?"

"Ririn, mak." answered me slowly sitting next to my mother's bed.

My mother held my hand.

"How's Ridwan doing...?"ask the mother who glimpsed at the ring on my ring finger.

"Sister Ridwan is fine, mak."

"Only now more work in the warehouse should be on his hands." I obviously tried to cover up everything that happened.

"If there is already readiness and seriousness between the two of you and the blessing of his parents Ridwan, why not son."

"Faster would be better."

"Emak wants to see you hanging out at the pelaminan happily.." continued the mother.

"When are you going back to the village to visit wa Tinah...?"ask mom to remind.

"It's Allah early next month mak, after payday..."

"Don't forget it'll look good, no matter how he's your brother."

"Express your filial attitude to him despite Abah's many faults that hurt our hearts."mom's message.

"Yati tried to forget all our painful past first because of Abah, and also tried to forgive Abah's mistakes."

"But to meet Abah, it seems that Yati has not been able to, mak." said I watered down while laying my head on my mother's lap.

Mom rubbed my head slowly lovingly.

I feel the peace of the soul when it's in your mother's lap.

"Learn all things son, we can only live.... It is Allah Who wills everything that happens to us."

"Remember, never be too loving or affectionate on something tangible.."

"Either wish on a creature other than Him.

Because if all does not match your expectations will cause a deep heartache.." said the mother who then kissed me gently.

We also hugged each other.

A mother's love is a strength to her child.
