When Kalbu Tells a Story

25. Irrespective

Right on this day, all my problems regarding defamation have been resolved. The man's wife and son finally believed all the evidence I and my friends showed, they apologized to me and my mother. They regretted their hurtful words to me, they also taught the man a lesson. His wife has filed a divorce papers, she no longer trusts her husband.

When I heard such news I felt a little guilty, I did not intend to destroy their family. Since all the decisions were on their side, I could do nothing to prevent the divorce.

Perhaps it had been a new journey for the man because of his own actions, and because of his crimes, he finally got what he had planted all along.

" Mom, Thank God now my honor has returned" hugged my mother.

I'm so grateful to my friends, because they I've been free, "Once again, I want to thank you guys. "

"Together, we are glad that all your problems are slowly being resolved. And we're also glad to be able to help you, " Maryam said as she approached me.

"It looks like we have to stay away, because it's getting late!"

"Okay, all of you be careful. Say hello to everything, "

"God willing, we say."

All my friends went home, except for Mahesa.

"Why are you still here? Why don't you go home with the others?"

"Kalbu, you can't be like that" said my mother.

"That's it... Your mother didn't tell me to leave, why did you tell me to go?"

"Haha... Your face is so serious, just calm I'm just kidding."

"Don't like to joke with me, later you fall in love with new taste." said Mahesa confidently.

"Haha.. Of love? I don't think that's possible, we're just destined to be friends no more."

"You guys, let's go in! Mom's cooking, we're eating together. "

...🥀...

The night has come, I am very happy and grateful that God has made my way easier. Slowly my problems were resolved, though not all of them. Even so I will still be grateful, because I know if we are still living in this world the problem will continue to exist and will never be avoided, even if we try.

Today's matter is finished, there will definitely be another new problem coming. I just don't know what the problem is? What was it like? And in what way did he come? It is still God's secret.

As time continues to change, I will continue to prepare this heart to face the new problem. So that my heart would not be so shocked after knowing it.

Right at 12:00 p.m. I heard sobs coming from my mother's room, I wanted to go up to her but-I couldn't afford to go up to her.

"It seems like you're crying!"

Even if I repeatedly begged my mother to answer all my questions about her pain, she would keep quiet.

I know and understand why you kept her health a secret from me? Because mom didn't want me to worry about her any deeper, and I would have known that I would forbid you from going to the river. And I'm the one who's going to decide to work, I'm definitely avoiding that. Therefore, the mother did not want her daughter to stop school midway.

After morning comes I will vent about mother's cries last night. I'll never put it off again to ask you everything you've ever refused. This morning my answer must be met, I do not want the health of the mother to decline due to soy sauce. I'll be facing my final semester soon anyway, so I'm going to seduce mom to stop working. After graduation I will work while in college.

I will achieve my goals as a doctor as well as a writer. All this time I've been making stories in the ledgers I buy, I put every story in them. Someday my story will be pinned by a famous publisher, and it will always be my belief.

...🥀...

While mom was preparing breakfast, I started the conversation in a slow way. I asked about last night.

"Mother, "

"Yes, son!"

"Mother, may you not sit for a moment! I want to ask you something."

Mother followed me, mother sat on the floor with me-watched the morning meal.

I turned my body towards mom, "Mom, did you cry last night?"

"No, I'm not crying." I thought Mom must be lying.

"Mother, Kalbu please! Mom don't lie anymore, mom cried last night why? Look, mom's eyes are puffy. So you can't dodge me anymore." I held my mother's hand.

Mother put her hand on my hand, "Daughter, do you want an answer from me?"

"Sure, I want to know your answer! This once I was honest with my mother. "

"Night, I cried because-mom is missing your father" answered my mother.

"Is that all? Is there anything else you're hiding?"

"No, boy! It's just that, do you doubt your mother?" ask mommy back.

"No, I'll never doubt you. "

Now I understand that I am the shadow of my mother. When my mother tried to hide something from me, I felt that it was coming down to me.

I'm almost the same as mom, I don't want anyone else to know about the problems I often face. Maybe I'm the one who'll be able to hide it all until the end of my life if I want to. It's just that I'm an ordinary person who should share my feelings with God and with those I trust.

I remember Maryam saying, "Sometimes we have to share our feelings with people we trust, to reduce the burden that is in the heart. Because our heart has the capacity to store all burdens, if our heart is not able to store them, then the burden will be detrimental to our health. But, do not fully also we tell - because there is a God who is waiting for us to tell a story. If you want to talk, you have to be picky. What to tell man, and what to tell God." That's the word I remember to this day.
