What's Wrong Pa
Camping 6



In the afternoon camp, all students who participated in the camping were carrying out the event on the second night, the evening reflection, to fill the next event.


All the students were asked to sit around a bonfire they had set up before, the bonfire lit up with its light and illuminated the entire camp.


"Our theme this time is 'Beloved by both parents', I ask you all to close your eyes, I will tell you a story I will never forget". Said a teacher named Martha.


"Good ma'am".


All the disciples there immediately closed their eyes using the slayer they had brought before, and tied it to their heads.


"And make this story a lesson to you, let no one keep silent away from this place before tonight's event is over, because you don't know, no one, that around us many are watching, mother does not intend to frighten you, but you must know, that this night is not only inhabited by creatures that we can see


but there are still many other creatures, I hope you can respect them if you do not want to be disturbed by them". Obviously, Martha's mom.


Once upon a time there lived a family so poor that eating rice was only a dream for them, they were only able to eat potluck like yam, green leaf leaves and fish in the river.


"Do you know? Parents will do anything for their children without caring for themselves". Said Ms. Martha.


Martha continued her story, one day the child dreamed of reaching for the sky, and wanted to make both parents happy.


"Mother, when I grow up, I want to take you to a big house and make your dream come true to go to the holy land". Say the child while imagining when it happens.


Tok tok tok tok


"Assynoga". Said the father who just came home from work.


"Vaalaikumussalam". Answer the mother.


"Dad's coming!!". The boy ran to greet his father.


The father came with a bag of yams to boil, the boy happily accepted it and took it inside.


Their lives are going well even though they are always lacking in everything, until the electricity of the house is revoked because they cannot afford to pay for it.


The father's job is only as a farm worker, only when there is a need he will do the rest he will spend his time looking for fish to sell and eat a day.


Until one day, because of the achievements of his son, his son was accepted at a school in the city and received a scholarship. The boy was so happy to hear that, he asked his parents for permission to go out of town.


With a heavy heart both parents allow the child to continue the education that his son dreamed so far.


Because the departure of the child entails such a small fee that the father borrows to his neighbors, the neighbor happily lends his money to the family.


After the departure of the child, without the child realizing that his father had sold his organs called kidneys just for the sake of the child's departure.


"Do you know? How is the pain when our limbs are slashed?" Ask Martha's mom.


3 Years later the child will immediately carry out graduation, but he does not want to tell his parents who are in the village, he said, he was ashamed to have parents who were shackles while the parents of his friends were rich.


Without the child knowing that the cost he has spent so far is the life of the father, a father can even sell all his valuable organs just for the education of the child he loves. Until finally the father died without the knowledge of his son, because all his organs have been exhausted.


"Why? The father did that? You need to reflect on how a father struggles only for the happiness of his son". Said Martha's mother with tears soaking her cheeks.


Some sobs can be heard on the quiet night in the camp, the atmosphere around it is so supportive of the story that Martha ma'am told.


"Nakkk, where are you? Some years you haven't told us, do you know? Your father's gone, come home son, I'm waiting for you to come". The mother who awaits the arrival of her child.


Until one day the mother went to the city to meet her son with clothes that were so seedy and tangled, when he arrived at the housing of his son, who owned her, the mother was soon expelled by her son for his clothes and he did not admit that it was his mother.


"Sorry, I don't have any money, you better get out of here". Say the child.


"But son, I am your mother, the one who conceived and raised you, how can you forget your mother so easily"


"I don't care, I don't know you, you better get out of here, before I call the security guard to kick you out".


With the sick day the mother immediately left the place before the harsh words were able to be spoken to the child, he did not want his words to be fulfilled.


Before the mother left the place, she threw a letter to the child, the mother just left the place. While the child was silent, and took the letter thrown by the woman.


In front of the letter was written a word stanza that read 'For my dear son, from my father'.


*Account contents*.


I ask your mother, before you lose her forever, she is the only person left in the world, she is the only door of heaven you can enter.


Do you remember your childhood, son? When you cry, who is the first person to come to calm down and hug you? That's your mother son, when you get hurt who first gets worried? She's your mother, son.


Happy your mother, son, I asked you never to hurt her, you know? Every birthday of yours? As long as you're in town, your mom always sings birthday songs in front of your pictures, she misses you so much.


I'd love to hug you and kiss you like I used to, and unfortunately when I'm done, I hope the money from my organs is useful for your future, my love from my father.


*Final letter*.


"Dad is gone? And the money that's been all this time is, no no no".


It was the letter that made him realize that his parents to sacrifice his life just for the sake of him who always wanted to live with luxury.


Brak!!!


From a distance came the sound of a collision that was so loud, making the entire nearby community from that location immediately come out and see what happened.


The boy immediately rushed to see him, remembering that his mother had just come out of the housing complex. From a distance there was a middle-aged woman sleeping on her back in the middle of the road.


Yes, the middle-aged woman is the mother of the child, in a hurry the child immediately approached the mother, who was, the boy's tangsi broke apart instantly when his only family was hit by a passing car.


"Mother!!". Shouted the child.


The boy immediately raised his blood-filled head and put it on his lap, the mother who felt someone was holding her made her open her eyes.


"Mom hang on, I'll take mom to the hospital". Said the child with tears.


"Son, it's not too long, I'm sorry". Said the mother while breaking.


"Don't tell me it's mom, I've lost dad I don't want to lose mom either".


"I'm sorry mom, let me sleep on your lap right now, that's more than enough for me".


"Mother".


The mother suddenly closed her eyes, blood continued to flow from her head to wet the clothes that her son was wearing at this time. Without her child knowing that the mother is gone, because God loves her more.


Back encampment.


"Now I ask you, what would you do if the child were you?". Ask Martha's mom.


The question was simply answered with tears soaking the slayer they used, without anyone daring to speak up in response to the story.


"For whoever you hold, you have to answer the questions of your mother".


Ms. Martha immediately walked around them, she stopped right in front of a girl, she held the girl's shoulder.


"What have you been giving to your parents all this time?". Ask Martha's mom to the girl.


Hearing the question, the girl could not answer it, indeed all this time she never gave anything to her parents, instead she often made mistakes to them.


"Can't answer? Whyyy?".


Ms. Martha continued to walk around the students who were around the campfire, she continued to step up while asking her students about what they had given to the parents, no one can answer that.


Now it was the turn of a man whose mother Martha held her shoulder, the man held it felt as if his body was trembling.


"What will you do to repay your parents' kindness? Is it only the answers you can give or the actions you will take?". Ask Martha's mom.


The man was just silent, unable to answer the question, indeed all this time he was always angry with his parents, just because his request was not granted by his parents.


"There are so many children in this place, why is no one able to answer mother's questions?". Ask Martha's mom.


Ms. Martha continued to surround the place, she was only able to hear sobs from her students but no one was able to answer every question she asked before.


"This child is your mother, come home son, mother is waiting for you at home, when your little mother is the one who takes you to school, accompanies you to study and always smiles at you


When the mother's hair is bleached, the mother is getting older, and can not get out of bed and even wet the bed in bed, please do not be angry mother son, mother does not want you to sin because of that". Martha said to her students.
