Vengeful Tears
A Mother's Longing
Since returning from the funeral, Fatimah kept herself locked up in Amira's room.
He continued to wipe the pillow where Amira used to rest.
His eyes looked at the photo of Amira hanging on the wall of the room.
" Amira, you miss you" said Ms. Fatimah.
Tests..
Tears dripped from the corner of Fatimah's eyes. He misses the presence of his daughter who always bersamja.
He realized that his daughter was dead. But his heart was very hard to accept that fact.
" Amira, mother's son. Mommy misses nak " said Ms. Fatimah began to sob.
A mother's longing to be separated from her child feels like strangling her.
The daughter he was carefree when he was a child, the daughter who always made him laugh, the daughter who always adorned his days who did not have a partner, has now gone far from him.
His soft voice when calling her mother still ringed clearly in the ears. Her face was very cold in sight and the sweet smile on her tiny lips was still clearly visible in the eyes.
Now all that is gone. All that happiness has now become a memory that torments his heart.
His amira has gone. His daughter could no longer smile at him.
Make Ms. Fatimah's heart feel like it's sliced.
He still could not believe that his beloved daughter had long since gone far away from him.
" What mistake have you made until you have to go this way, Amira" said Ms Fatimah sadly.
He knows how kind Amira is. How could anyone kill a girl that good.
" I'm sorry, Mother Amira, you shouldn't have let you get out of here.
Now you must still be here with your dear mother ".
As Ms. Fatimah was lamenting her grief, Anita went into the room.
Anita's face looked very tired. He lost and was disappointed at the same time.
" Fatimah "call Anita slowly.
Anita sat down next to Fatimah, who was lying on her side in Amira's bed.
Fatimah was silent and did not answer Anita's call.
Her tears kept dripping.
" Fatimah, it's noon. You haven't eaten " said Anita.
" I'm not hungry" mbak ".
" But not hungry, you should eat. Your stomach can hurt if left empty "persuade Anita.
" Just leave it. That way I can more quickly meet my daughter" said Fatimah then re-wipe Amira's pillow full of longing.
" Fatimah, don't talk like that. You'll only make our daughter sad if it continues like this ".
Fatimah's cry finally broke after Anita reminded her earlier.
The crying she's been holding since Amira's funeral. The pain he endured when he saw his daughter's body covered in dirt, now he finally let go.
Anita who heard Fatimah's cry again shed her tears. Actually, he was very tired at this moment. She was tired of crying over her daughter and husband.
" I miss Amira so much, I miss her so much.
My chest hurts so much to remember all the memories with him. I can't afford to lose Amira ".
" Fatimah, we must take Amira. This has all been the fate of our daughter. He's already there now.
She will no longer feel sadness ", Anita said in tears.
His hands patted Fatimah's back.
" How can I let it go. Every day, every time I was with him. All the places are filled with memories of Amira.
It's very difficult for me, very difficult ".
" I know Fatimah that this is very difficult for you.
You raised him since childhood, all of this must have hurt your heart.
But Fatimah, we still have to give up Amira's departure so that she's calm there ".
" I've been trying to let him go.
But it's like choking me now. I'm so tormented, I'm not strong ".
The goddess cried in silence hearing all of that.
He doesn't know who Amira is. But she could sense that Amira was a very nice girl.
His departure made some such people lose their sanity.
" We'll just leave here Wi. Let Miss Fatimah and Aunt Anita calm their minds here " whispered Keanu.
The goddess nodded and wiped her tears. Before leaving, he stared at the two women who were still crying in the room.
" I'm sure you can, Fatimah. We'll both try to be sincere ".
Fatimah continued to cry at Anita's company beside her. He was trying to accept all of this.
Although it would feel very difficult, but he should be able to do it for the sake of his deceased daughter.
" Let's go out, you need to eat Fatimah "take Anita when she sees Fatimah is calm and not crying anymore.
" But I am not hungry" replied Fatimah.
" I know, I'm not hungry right now either.
But anyway there must be food that goes into our stomach.
Even though it's just a mouthful of "persuade Anita.
" Where's Brother Dave "??.
" He's resting in the guest room ".
" How is he "?? ask Fatimah.
Anita took a breath while helping Fatimah who wanted to sit down.
Since coming home from the funeral, Dave's like the man who lost his life.
He was still breathing, but his mind had gone nowhere.
" It seems that he deeply regrets what he did to Amira.
He's like an undead "Anita answered.
Fatimah was surprised to hear that. She did not expect Amira's father to be able to come like this after Amira died.
" I want to see Brother Dave, ma'am ".
" Alright ".
Anita and Fatimah came out of the room. They then approached Dave who was in the living room.
