Samurai Mats - 15
That night he explained his case to Datuk
Maruhun and his friends. But is there any point in all that? He knows that people
this village considers him a person who ”pointed horn”. The grandfather was
he has not been happy with her for a long time either. That's since he didn't care
his engagement to his girl named Renobulan. That's why he
choose to remain silent despite being cursed and cursed by the people of his village.
Now he's lying wounded. After feeling enough power he did not try
to rise. But he twisted his body while still lying down.
His head now faces the mansion where he was born and
raised. In the courtyard he saw the bodies of his father and mother lying still. Him
gathering energy. Crawl near them. Near his father's corpse
stop over. Get up and sit down. He looked at his father's open eyes
staring sky. He closed his father's eyes.
He felt ashamed for a long time being near his father's corpse. Shame about the difference
what a distance between him and his father. His father was a Penghulu
residents respected. A silat teacher who is rarely a match. But arriving at
he only brought disgrace to the good name of his father and family.
He remembered his father's words when he came down from the house. That is when he
calling mother. Mom, dad and brother were stunned on the stairs.
”You were born to be a mermaid. I'm sorry
having a child like you. You sold this country and its inhabitants
Japan is solely for money so you can gamble. Why don't you
all right now you're taking our heads for you to sell?”
His father's voice echoed again. He flinched in shock. His father must have been
heard it also from Datuk Maruhun or from others, about the encounter
they're on that secret target. Surely his father also guessed as expected
Datuk Maruhun and his friends, that he was the one who leaked the secrets of the target
that's for Japan. His heart was so hard hit.
Slowly he moved near his mother's corpse.
His mother's face was calm. His heart is broken. His head turned to the house.
At the window he saw the body of his brother still drooping. She wants to cry. However
he doesn't know how to cry for such a terrible catastrophe.
If one of his family dies, maybe he can cry.
But now their third. He is just a kara now. How he
have to cry over this accident? What kind of misfortune has
hit him, so to cry he doesn't know how?
Suddenly his mother's hand moved slowly. Very slowly. Yet he
see it clearly.
“Mother .” call her slowly while raising the head of a middle-aged woman
Heart's pounding. Long time no answer. But after that, the female eyelids
it opens. The woman licked the water on her lips. His hands slowly
uplifted. Swiping his son's cheek.
“Mother ..”
“Bungsu. . You now live alone son. Carefully take care of yourself. .”
The woman stopped. Back to licking the water on her lips. Then sounded
again his voice sighed.
“Your father wants you to be a good son .”
The woman stopped again. It was like gathering the last energy.
It seems that he did delay the arrival of death to be able to talk to children
this flower.
“Bungsu .. my son. Said the man you leaked the secret of the target to the Japanese
to get money to gamble.. . But I don't believe it. Mom doesn't believe me
you did that. I'm sure you're still a good child.
Bungsu. ... that you have never betrayed your father and your people .”
The woman stopped. His eyes closed again. The breath is one-one.
But he tried to open his eyes, to see the face of his son. To see
and heard his son's answer.
The Bungsu wants to talk. There is so much he wants to say. But
his throat is clogged. He was only able to shake and hold
his mother's hand, kissed him. Her cheeks were wet with tears.
The mother seemed to be able to read the implied in her son's mind. Although his son
not saying a word, just shaking, but a mother's instincts can read
what was in his son's heart. The woman was like smiling. Her eyes
harshest. Head droops. And he breathed his last breath
in the growing rain.
A real mother is dead. Mother who does not distinguish love from
her children. Among his clever and foolish children, among
his sons are valiant and deformed, among his virtuous children and
the bastard, a mother still shares the same great love. A mother
they want the same happiness for all their children.
And that afternoon the Bungsu felt how much he really needed affection
a mother. He felt it after his mother died. He needs
guidance and love of a father. Just after his father died. Him
I need the love of a sister. She felt it after her sister
died! How tragic is the fate of this man. It is true that people say, that
every child will not realize how much he really needs the love of his mother
and his father, when the mother and father were alive.
