Waiting for Tomorrow

The awaited letter

...Two Weeks Later...

  "Fer, Masmu why yes, have not sent a letter! I've long wanted to hear from her! It's been two weeks, you have no news! Every day Mom really wishes she wanted to get a letter from Hari!" My mother looked up on the sofa in the living room.

  "Maybe Mas Hari hasn't had time to send a letter, Mom! So, Mom don't think about Mas Hari every day! Later Mom even hurt because of most thoughts!" Pinta Fera while putting warm tea on the table in front of mom.

  "But Mom's feelings aren't calm if you haven't received a letter from Hari, Fer! Mom is afraid of something unwanted happening with herself Hari!" Said my mother with a blank look.

  "We better leave everything to God! May God protect Mashari wherever he may be! It's better now that you have breakfast and drink your tea, it's still warm!" Fera Advice.

  "Emak hasn't eaten breakfast yet!" Her speech.

  "When did you think about Mas Hari? If this continues, Mom becomes lazy to eat! Fera doesn't want you to get sick!"

  "Until Masmu tells Mom! It makes you happy!"

  "It's up to Mom! Fera left first, Mak!" Fera extended his right hand to his mother.

  "Be careful on the road, Fer!"

  "Yes Mak. Assalamu'alaikum." Fera walked up to his bike on the front porch.

  "Wa'alaikumsalam." The reply.

  "Mother's Love! Every day always think of Mas Hari! Oh my God, what happened to Mas Hari? Protect Him wherever He is! Aamiin's." Fera said in his heart. His feet kept pedaling his mini bike.

  "Yes, my mom is not wrong! If Mas Hari is busy working, it is impossible all this time He did not send a letter! While the mother became lazy to eat, because every day waiting for a letter from Mas Hari that never came! I can't let Mom get sick! I have to do something!" Added.

  Arriving at the Kindergarten where Fera taught, he rushed out a piece of paper and a pen, when he was sitting in the chair behind his desk.

  "Emak, I'm sorry. Fera didn't mean to lie to Mom! But all this Fera did for the good of Mom! Fera wants Mum to live her days again! Fera does not want because of most thoughts, stomach acid Mommy relapses again!" He said, writing a letter on a piece of paper that he had torn from his book.

  That afternoon, a motorbike stopped right in front of Hari's mother's house. A woman took off the helmet that was above her head. As soon as the helmet had been removed, it looked her naturally beautiful face. He is none other than Fatimah. Hari's future wife, whom he had recently proposed to.

  Tokkk...

  "Assalamu'alaikum." Greetings when he stands at the door.

  "Wa'alaikumsalam." Answer my mother from inside the house.

  "Oh, Fatima! Kirain who! Let's go in first!" Pinta mother so see the figure of Fatimah who stood in front of the door.

  "No, Mom! I want to go to work!" Reply Fatimah who wears a white work uniform.

  "Oh, go to work! Kirain's mom just got home from work!" The reply.

  "Sir, this is my greetings!" Fatimah gave the black plastic containing food, to the mother.

  "Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Tell your mother, Mom thank you so much! You often bother to bring food here, Fatimah! You're not good with your mom!" The reply.

  "It's okay Mom! It is precisely Mother who told Fatimah to give food to Mother! Oh yes Mak, is there a letter from Mas Hari?" Fatimah asked with hope.

  "Not Fatimah! That's what every day you think! Until you feel bad to eat, not sleep well! Mom had a hunch, something had happened with Hari!" Her speech.

  "Hopefully Mas Hari is always in good health, Mom!" Fatimah looked lethargic.

  "Aamiin's."

  "Yes, Mother, Fatimah wants to go to work first! I was scared too late!" Fatimah shakes hands with Mom. Not to forget he attached the back of his right palm, to his forehead.

  "Be careful on the road!" Her request.

  "Yes Mak! If you have a letter from Mas Hari, please tell me, Mak! Her speech.

  "Yes. Insha Allah, if there is a letter from Hari, Mother will tell Fatimah!" The reply.

  "Assalamu'alaikum." Fatimah walked back to her bike.

  "Wa'alaikumsalam." The answer.

  "Pity Fatimah! He must have missed Hari so much." He said in his heart, looking at Fatimah's departure. After his figure disappeared from his view, his mother went back into the house. When Mother, was putting food given by her mother Fatimah on the dining table, suddenly heard the sound of people saying greetings.

  "Assalamu'alaikum!"

  "Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. A minute!" The reply. Not yet had time to return to the front door of his house, suddenly Fera appeared from the direction of the living room.

  "Why are you doing it again?" Ask.

  "This again put the same vegetable side dish on the plate!" You're home, Fer?" Ask my mother back.

  "It's my mom." The answer.

  "Your train was Fatimah, come back here again!" Said.

  "Well, did Fatimah come here, Mommy?" Fera was a little surprised.

  "Yes! He came here before he left for work! Yes, this is food from his mother!" The reply.

  "Oh yes Mak, there is very happy news!!!" Exclaimed Fera who was trying to cover his grooves.

  "What good news, Fer?" Ask mom flatly.

  "Mas Hari has sent you a letter, Mother! His letter was delivered this morning to Kindergarten, while Fera was teaching!" Exclaims.

  "Masha God! Are you right, Fer? Usually the letter is sent directly to the house, same day! Tumben is now being sent to your Kindergarten!" My mother is confused.

  "Not knowing Mama! Maybe Mas Hari meant, let the post office attendant deliver the mail quickly! The important thing is that there has been news from Mas Hari, Mak!" Fera took out a white envelope from her bag and gave it to her.

  "Fera! I am so glad to receive this letter! O God, thank You for granting the prayers of the Servant!" My mother greeted the fake letter with tears. He was very happy when he opened the envelope wrapping the letter. As soon as Mom managed to open the envelope, with her hands shaking, she began to read the contents of the letter from her eldest son.

Assalamu'alaikum

Moms...

How's things? May you always be in good health, wal-afiat. Aamiins.

Forgive Mother's Day. New day can send this letter. You busy working day, Mom! Only now Day entered the night, so only now Hari can send a letter to Mother. Once again, a day of great apology to Mother. The day has made Mom worried and the thought of Hari continues.

Alhamdulillah Hari in Jakarta in good health, Mom! So you don't have to keep thinking about Hari! Mother if you eat regularly! Let the acid not recur.

When Hari has time, Hari will send another letter to Mama! It was old, Mom!

Wassalamu'alaikum

Your child

  Day

  She read the letter with her tears flowing down her cheeks until she finished reading the letter. Her tears were dripping over the letter she was holding. While Fera looked at her mother's face with a feeling of guilt.

  "I'm sorry Fera, Mommy! Fera did all of this solely for the good of Mom!" Say it in the heart.

  "God, thank You for protecting my son's Day!" Mom was crying.

  "Alhamdulillah Mas Hari well, Mommy! Yes, my mother, with what Fera said yesterday! The day is busy! So I haven't sent a letter yet!" Said.

  "Yes Fera. Mom was too worried about the state of the day! Mom thinks too bad! Forgive the Mother who did not listen to Fera's words!" Her speech.

  "More doesn't have to apologize! Fera knows a mother's love and affection for her child! That's why I'm so worried about Mas Hari!" Fera immediately hugged her mother's body tightly. Her tears instantly wet her cheeks.

  "It should be Fera apologizing to Mom! Because Fera has lied to Mom!" It's in the heart.

  "Tomorrow as soon as you reply to the letter, Fer!" Her request.

  "Yes Mak. From now on Mother eats regularly huh! His mind is calm! Don't think about Mas Hari, keep going! Fera doesn't want to see you sad anymore!" Her request.

  "Yes, Fera." The reply.
