Waiting for Tomorrow

A Hunch

  That morning, Mother and Fera were busy cooking in the kitchen which was still on the ground floor.

  "Fera, last night Mother had a nightmare!" Say it while slicing chili.

  "What dream mom?" Fera asked while frying the tempe.

  "Dream of Day falling into the abyss, Fera!" Answer my mother while contemplating.

  "It was just a dream, Mom! Better forget that dream!" Her request.

  "But the dream was like reality, Fer! In the dream, Hari asked Mother for help! But Mom couldn't help him at all!" Both of my eyes were wet with tears.

  "Maybe last night you forgot to read the prayer! So you're bullied by the devil! Keep mom having nightmares!" Said.

  "Emak before going to bed God's insha never forgets to read the prayer, Fer! Now Mom's thinking about Hari again!" The reply.

  "Emak don't have to think about Mas Hari! Later..." Fera had not been able to continue his words, suddenly a loud voice sounded from the direction of the family room.

  Ppprraaaan.....!!!

  "Innaliki! What's that sound Fer?" Ask mom surprised.

  "No idea, Mom!" The reply.

  "Let's see first!" She got up and walked towards the source of the voice.

  When Mom reached the family room, her body suddenly stiff like being struck by lightning in the morning. Using her own two eyes, she saw a photo hanging on the wall falling onto the tile floor. With her body shaking violently, her mother slowly walked over to the photo whose frame was broken in two, while her glass was smashed into pieces.

  When he was about a meter from the photo on the floor, his mother again felt very shocked, when she saw a piece of photo that fell. At the top of the photo the mother saw a very clear picture of a man who was none other than Hari, her eldest child. Mom screamed loudly calling her son's name.

  "Hariy.....!!!" Shouted mom as hard as she could. Instantly her tears flooded her already wrinkled face. Both of her knees were shaking violently, finally unable to be held back anymore. My mother's body fell on the floor.

  Meanwhile, as soon as he heard the yelling sound of his mother, Fera rushed to drain the tempe that he had finished frying. Then he immediately turned off the kerosene stove. Fera ran over to his mother.

  "Have you gone home?" Ask Fera in my heart. But his guess was wrong. As soon as he arrived at the living room, he saw his mother sitting on the floor crying hysterically in front of a picture of her brother falling on a tile floor.

  "O Allah, O Rabbi!!! Why did she fall???" Fera asked as she approached her mother's body.

  "Gold is okay!!! But Hari! Day photos fall for no reason!!!" His shouting.

  "Maybe it's a photo of Mas Hari getting wind, Mommy! That's why it can fall!" Fera sat down on the right side of his mother. Both of her hands held the fingers of her mother's right hand.

  "No way Fera!!! Your photo cannot fall because of the wind! But this is a sign that something bad has happened on the Day! Mom's hunch said that Hari was hit by a disaster! The photo of the day that fell has something to do with Mom's dream last night, Fera!!!" Shouting mom. Her tears were getting wet on both of her cheeks.

  "Istighfar Mother!!! You can't talk like that!!! Insha Allah Mas Hari well, Mommy!" Fera still did not believe his mother's words.

  "You don't understand how Mom feels, Fera!!! You do not know the inner bond between Mother and Day!!! A Mother's inner bond with her child is very strong!!!" Answer mom loudly.

  "Fera apologizes to Mom! Not that Fera does not understand and understand the feelings of Mother in Mas Hari, but Fera wants to see Mother is not sad continue! Fera doesn't want you to think badly of Mas Hari!" Fera said with tears in her eyes.

  "That's the name You don't understand how Mom feels about Hari!" He said while crying.

  "Didn't Mas Hari have sent a letter to Mom yesterday? And it says that Mas Hari is in good condition! Isn't that right, Mom?" Ask Fera.

  "But Mom's feelings aren't what they used to be! Mum has not fully felt relieved, if you have not seen the face of Hari directly!" The answer.

  "Hopefully Hari can go home soon Mother! Let's have breakfast, Mom!"

  "Emak so no appetite, Fer! I'm going to go to my room!" Slowly my mother stood up. Fera quickly helped my mother stand up and walk towards her room.

  "If you don't want breakfast yet, let Fera get you some warm tea with Mom!" Her speech.

  "Yes Fer." Slowly reply. Fera walks into the kitchen to get her mother's glass of warm tea, and goes back into her mother's room. He gave the glass in his hand to his mother. Slowly, my mother drank a warm tea made by Fera.

  "It's okay, Mom! My mother is not wrong! Fera is not yet a mother. Hence Fera had not been able to feel everything that was felt by Mother!" The reply.

  "Mother's feelings have actually not calmed down, since Day said goodbye to Mother! Farewell time, it doesn't feel like before! Mom felt so sad and heavy to part with Hari!" Said.

  "Yes, it's better now Mom rest first! Hope you have a good day!" Her speech.

  "Aamiinu. Yesterday's letter you replied, didn't you, Fer?" Ask mom.

  "Mak already!" Reply to Fera with a little nervousness.

  "May Mas Hari be able to reply to his letter immediately, Mother! Because actually Mas Hari until now has not sent a letter! But I can't tell Mom everything yet! I'm sorry, Mommy!" Fera said in his heart.

  "May Masmu quickly reply to the letter!" Her speech.

  "Aamiinu. Fera to the kitchen first Mak!" The reply. Fera came out of my mother's room.

  That night, Mr. Teddy came out of his room with a suitcase containing Rp.100 million. As a warning in a letter from someone who kidnapped Yos, that Mr. Teddy should not report the incident to the police, with Mr. Teddy forced to obey his will. For him, Josh's salvation was paramount.

  "Sir, are you leaving now?" Bi Ginah asked when she saw Mr. Teddy coming out of her room.

  "Yes Bi. Aunt take care of the house! Don't forget all the doors are locked! If I'm not home yet, don't open the door!" Her request.

  "Yes sir." Bi Ginah replied with anxious feelings. Not yet had Mr. Teddy to speak again, suddenly the sound of greetings was heard.

  "Assalamu'alaikum!"

  "Wa'alaikumsalam!" Replied Mr. Teddy and Bi Ginah together.

  "I'm straight in! The front door is open!" The woman who appeared before the two of them.

  "It just so happens that you're here, Vanya! You accompany Bi Ginah at home!" Her request.

  "Where is Teddy going?" Ask a woman who is none other than the cute one or Vanya.

  "Oh yeah, you don't know yet?" Said Mr. Teddy.

  "Know what Om?" Vanya looked worried.

  "Yos was kidnapped last night! And the kidnappers are asking for ransom! Now I'm going to get Yos!" Answer with force.

  "O Allah, my Lord!!! How did Yos get kidnapped?" Vanya doesn't believe.

  "It happened last night while everyone was asleep, including Yos." The reply.

  "I'm coming with Om!" Exclaims.

  "Don't! Too dangerous! You better accompany Bi Ginah at home! Poor Aunt alone!" Her request.

  "Yes mut! You're with Auntie ya!" Bi Ginah has it.

  "Yes Bi!"

  "Did Teddy not report this kidnapping to the police?" Ask.

  "No, the kidnapper threatened me not to go to the police! Yes, I'm leaving now! Assalamu'alaikum!" Mr. Teddy took his foot to his car in the carport.

  "Wa'alaikumsalam." Bi Ginah and Vanya answered together.

  Mr. Teddy rushed up to his car. The suitcase with money was placed in the left seat. He immediately started the engine and stepped on the gas pedal firmly. The car quickly drove away from his house.
