Waiting for Tomorrow
Back Home
Arriving at the side of the highway, Fera and mother again wait for the passing bajaj. It only took about 10 minutes, finally a bajaj appeared on their right. Fera waved his hand. As soon as the bajaj stopped, Fera and mother rushed up to the top of the bajaj. After getting the address he was referring to, the bajaj driver went back to running his bajaj.
After a journey of about 25 minutes, they finally arrived in front of a large and spacious automotive company. The two of them rushed down from the top. Not to forget, Fera paid for his services. Then they walked towards the security guard post that was behind the factory gate.
"Excuse me Sir. I'd like to ask, can we meet my older brother? His full name is Ahmad Hariyanto. He works here sir." Fera asked one of the guards who was on guard.
"Sorry, Mba and Mother, what is the interest, with her? Now all employees are working. So can't see Mba and Mom now! Better wait until work!" The answer.
"What time's work, sir?" Ask Fera.
"A half hour five. But if you come home late at seven, some even come home at nine!" The answer.
"But we came all the way from the village, sir! We're looking for my son's Day! There has been no news of him for a long time! We'd love to see him soon, sir!" Mother welds with tears.
"Not found in her home, Mom?" Ask.
"Already Sir! We just went to Mother's house for Hari's boarding house. But he said Hari had long been invisible! That's why we came here! We would love to meet Hari, sir! Just one second!" Mom begs.
"Yes, let's come with me to the HRD room. Let your child be called to meet his Mother and Mother." Her speech.
"Thank you very much Sir." Mom and Fera smiled happily. The hope that had been destroyed, now the hope grew in their hearts again. The two of them also walked following the security guard, towards the HRD room.
Tokkkp...Tokkkp...Tokkkp...
"Lake in!" A man shouted from inside the room. Hearing his words, the security guard slowly opened the door of the HRD room.
"Excuse me sir, there are two women from the village who are looking for their children who work here. Said they'd lost contact with their son." Her speech.
"Send them in!" His order.
"Well Sir!" The reply. The security guard came back out of the room.
"Mba and her mother were told to come in!" Said.
"Thank you very much Sir!" Mommy. Slowly, Mama and Fera entered the room.
"Assalamu'alaikum!" Greetings mom.
"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Please sit down." Answer the man in his 40s.
"Thank you sir." Mom and Fera were sitting on a chair in front of the table.
"Sorry before, who are you and where are you from?" Ask.
"My name is Bu Khulsum and this is my son's name is Fera. We came from Sukoharjo. We came here to meet with my son, whose full name is Ahmad Hariyanto. Working here has been more than five years, sir! But since Hari returned home about a month ago, until now there was no news from him at all! That's why we came to Jakarta. Because we'd love to meet him!" Mom's story.
"Oh so the story! Mom, Mom, I'll get you a piece of Mom's son working!" Her speech.
"Yes sir." Reply with gratitude. The man also searched the Day data on the computer. After successfully finding the section Hari work, the man also called the office person in the section Hari work.
"Hello Mr. Warman! Please call the employees in the welding section of YL8 on behalf of Ahmad Hariyanto! Please send them to the HRD room!" His order.
"Well Mr. Surya!" Answer the man on the phone.
"Thank you Sir!" A man named Mr. Surya hung up his phone call.
"Mother's son is being called to come here, Mom!" He said with a smile. Hearing his words, his mother and Fera immediately looked at each other. A wide smile emanated from their faces.
"Thank you very much Sir! Thank you for allowing us to meet Hari, my son!" Said the mother while looking at the clothes worn by Mr. Surya on the right chest, where it was written the full name of Mr. Surya, namely Suryanata.
"Sama-sama Ma! I can't bear to see a mother who has longed to meet her child! I'm so sad to remember my dead mother!" Reply Mr. Surya while wiping his tears that fell on his cheek.
"Wish the house of Mr. Suryanata's mother after every prayer! Because what is needed by the late mother of Mr. Suryanata now is the prayer of the shaleh child!" His advice.
"God's Insha, Mom!" The reply. Not long after, someone knocked on the door of the room. Hearing the sound of knocking on the door behind him, Mom immediately stood up.
Tokkkp...Tokkkp...Tokkkp...
"Day...!!!" My mother cried with a very happy feeling. But that feeling instantly turned into a feeling of disappointment, when he saw the face of the man who entered the room.
"Solar Sir Afternoon!" Say hello to that mustachioed man.
"Sore Mr Sarwono! Sorry sir, I told Mr. Warman to call an employee named Ahmad Hariyanto! Because his mother wanted to meet him!" The reply.
"I know what Mr. Surya means. Mr. Warman told me to call Hari, but Hari hasn't been at work for a long time, sir! That's why I came here!" Her speech. Hearing the words of the middle-aged man named Pak Sarwono, his mother and Fera were very shocked. Their bodies were silent in a thousand languages. They never thought they would get the bad news.
"Oh God!!! So my son's day hasn't gone to work in a long time?" Ask her mother as if she still does not believe her words.
"Yes Mom. Days not going to work, if not wrong it has been more than a month! Last time to go to work as I recall before holidays to go home!" The answer.
"My son's day!!!" Shouted mom as hard as she could. Her tears flooded her face. His thin body suddenly seemed to lose its power. My mother fell unconscious on the ceramic floor.
"S......!!!" Shouted Fera hysterically. Her tears that fell on her face were not inferior to her mother.
As soon as he found out his mother had fainted, Fera rushed over to his mother's body. Mr. Surya and Mr. Sarwono also directly approached the body of the mother who drooped helplessly.
"Please take it to the infirmary, sir!" Pinta Pak Surya's. Hearing his words, Mr. Sarwono immediately lifted his mother's body and brought her into the health room. While Mr. Surya and Fera walked quickly behind him.
After waiting for about 30 minutes, her eyes slowly opened. Fera, who had been waiting for him, immediately moved from his seat and approached his mother's body.
"Alhamdulillah, my mother has awakened!" Exclaims.
"Emak where's Fer?" Ask slowly.
"Emak is in the infirmary at Mas Hari's factory!" The answer. Hearing the name of her son who was so missed, tears flowed back on both of her cheeks.
"Day...! Where exactly are you, son? I really want to meet you! I miss you Har!" Said my mother while crying.
"Strong and patient friend! There is still Fera who will accompany Mother! May God always protect Mashari wherever He may be!" The reply.
"Aamiinu. But if Day is dead, how's Fer? I can't afford to lose Hari!" Her speech.
"Don't say that, Mom! If Mas Hari is indeed an accident victim as his boarding mother said this morning, there must be a police officer who came to Mother's house in the village! Fera sure, Mas Hari is alive, Mak!" The reply.
"Where else are we looking for Hari? Do we have to search all the hospitals in Jakarta that are very large?" Ask mom.
"Whatever Mom! But it's afternoon now! Tomorrow morning Fera is also at work, Mak!" The answer.
"We'll just go back to the village, Fer!" Pinta mom while getting off the bed.
Fera and mother came out of the health room. Before leaving the factory where Hari works, do not forget they both say goodbye to Mr. Surya and the security guard.
Arriving at the side of the road, the two of them took a ride back to Pasar Senen station. After buying a train ticket for Solo, Fera and her mother sat in the waiting room. My mother stopped shedding her tears. In his mind constantly shadowed the face of Hari whom he missed so much.
"Emak, Fera bought souvenirs first!" Her speech.
"Yes." Yeah." Answer's flat. Both eyes stared blankly at the front. Fera also walked towards one of the stalls selling various souvenirs. After paying for the souvenirs he bought, Fera came back to his mother. Fera saw that her mother was still silent.
After waiting for about 20 minutes, finally a train appeared to the west. Knowing the train was a train he ordered, Fera also took his mother up on the train, after the train stopped right in front of them.
On the way home, my mother kept quiet. His mouth seemed to be locked. Fera several times invited her mother to chat but did not hear the voice of the answer from her mother's mouth. Even when Fera offered food and drinks, her mother had no voice at all.
By the time they got home, my mother's behavior was changing from before. Mother prefers to sleep on the bed that is in her room. Seeing all that, Fera also felt the deep sadness felt by her mother. Fera knew and understood so much, his mother's longing for her brother. Fera also already knows the magnitude of the love of her mother to her biological brother is so big, so the mother's longing for Hari will never be finished like the mother's longing for her late father.
