My Mother's Sadness



That afternoon mira went home, she was allowed 2 days off and after two days she had to go back to work immediately.


Mira recalled her father's message back then.


At that time, Mira did not know the meaning of the father, why did you order like that.


flashbacks


"Mother.Take care of your mother, you're the only son you can count on. Your brother has worked in Jakarta, but until now has not been able to send news, your uncle/your mother's sister where your brother works is also difficult to contact..


Order me, Take care of your mother, be happy with her, help your mother as best you can.


Sentence after sentence was thrown out just like that, somehow Miranda's father advised so.


"Where are you going?I'm okay, right?" Miranda asked her father.


Back


"Miranda understands now, Mira murmured inwardly."


"Bu Mira remembered, at that time my father had advised mira to take care of my mother, love my mother and make me happy.


"What did your father say Mir?"ask the curious mother.


"At that time mira did not understand what I meant to say like that, but now mira tau ma'am" said mira sure.


Hearing Miranda's story, the look of Malika's face changed, her heart is now mixed between being disappointed because she was betrayed, sad, angry and hated to mix into one. Clear thread flowing on the cheeks of Malika, her face lowered to hold the water that had fallen.


Seeing the sadness of the mother, Miranda promised in her heart to be a child who would not dispute her mother's words of origin happy.


After the conversation, Malika put Isna to sleep, while Miranda rested in the room she shared the meaning.


The more days Pak kuseno increasingly changed, with the reason of working overtime more time spent outside the house without caring for his family.


Ms. Malika has repeatedly rebuked Mr. Kuseno to stop doing it for the sake of the family, but her husband always gave up and did not want to admit his affair.


Until one day the Family Card and KTP bu Malika which is always placed in the closet put the television missing. Ms. Malika was not aware of this because she never saw or brought a ID card while traveling, except for the assistance in the village.


Mr. Kuseno took KTP Bu Malika and KK on the advice of his sister who lived 20 houses from his home. Miranda's aunt has always justified her brother's every act even though she knows it's wrong.


For Miranda's mother being lied to her husband and sister-in-law is common, even in-laws and neighbors also always assume Miranda's father is never wrong in making decisions even though the reality is not the case.


"Just use your family card and Malika ID card, don't tell me. He also won't know if he's taken" Narni's aunt told Miranda's father.


Mr. Kuseno always obeyed his sister's advice, because they did have the same nature and compact in such matters.


Ms. Malika is a patient wife and always receives every treatment from her family and neighbors, she hopes that someday her husband will change better and their family will be happy. But the hopes and dreams of Ms. Malika never materialized and Mr. Kuseno never changed for good.
