When Kalbu Tells a Story

28. Delayed

Don't know why? The atmosphere tonight is so restless, my heart is so unfazed. It feels like my heart wants to cry over something you still don't know, what is it?

"Why am I so nervous? May this restlessness I'm experiencing, just a passing feeling for a moment."

To relieve my anxiety, I must take ablution and perform Isha's prayer. I was going to wake my mother from her sleep. But I felt I could not wake him up.

Finally I decided to pray alone, it did not take long for me to pray. When my last greeting came, I heard the voice of my mother coughing.

Uhuk.... Uhuk.... Uhuk...

Three times the voice I gave, I went straight to my mother's room. I hurried to open the face that was in my body.

"Mother, what's going on? Is mom okay?"

"Mother, fine, son!" my mother answered while enduring the pain. When I looked at my mother, it seemed like she was hiding something from me. Looks like mom's trying so I don't know what you're hiding.

Yet..

Mother had misjudged me, the more you whistled loudly to do that. The more loud whistling I have understood the character of the real mother.

"Mom, I know you're hiding something from me."

"Mother, don't hide anything from you! Already, there go to sleep, mother sleepy." said mother.

"I won't leave mom, I'll sleep with mom."

Not long ago the mother again coughed, and the mother's cough had spilled blood.

"Mother, let me see your hand!"

"No, boy! Don't you look. "

I grabbed Mom's hand, "Here, I see!"

I managed to see my mother's palm, and it turned out that my vision was not wrong. Mother had hidden this great pain.

"Mother, why hide such a big thing from me? We better go to the hospital. "

"Mom won't go to the hospital!" mom's firm.

"No, I have to go to the hospital. I'll take mom!" I was firm with Mom.

I went to the room to change clothes, I didn't want to go out wearing a short shirt. Moreover, the day is getting night, the clock has shown 20:57 pm.

"Mother, let's go!" ask me, "Mom don't turn me down, if you want to see me happy-mom should be healed and healthy."

"But... Mom, don't want to go to the hospital. "

I put on a sad face, and resignedly, "Mom, Kalbu please! Once the mother followed Kalbu's will, she said she likes to take sand in the river. But why can't you take care of your health? If you can't do that, you have to stop you from taking sand back to the river. "

"Well, I'm going to the hospital! But... Do we have money?"

"If it's a problem, I'll take it easy! I have money."

"That money, isn't it...?"

I cut my mother's words, "Of course, don't think! The important thing is healthy mother, Kalbu happy. If it's business, take it easy!"

I picked up a thick jacket in my closet so it could warm my shivering mother's body. We went on our ontel bike, he said after we wanted to run his ontel bike. My bike has damage to the tires.

"Oh my God, my bicycle tires are flat! How'this?"

"Have you said, don't go!"

I left with confidence, I knocked on all the neighbors' doors in the middle of the night. Some neighbors were angry because of my arrival in the middle of the night, some were very thin to let out harsh words.

One of the neighbors opened the door, and the mother answered my greetings, "Wa'alaikumsalam, what are you doing here? Just interrupt!"

"Sorry, mom! I'd like to ask permission, so I can borrow my mother's motorcycle. To take my mother to the hospital, is it okay?"

"No, I'm not going to lend my bike to the poor like you!" emphatically.

"Mom, I beg you! Help me, and my mother too, "I plead with her, but please do not accept.

"Me, reiterate it again! If I'm never going to loan you a bike, after all I know you're poor, you're going to a big hospital!" push it on me, I fall to the ground.

"AstagfiraAllah,"

The mother immediately went inside, and closed the door tightly. Now I'm conscious and I can learn, from all the events tonight. I learned that not all humans want to help us, not all humans are good to us, and not all humans are concerned with us.

I learned from that mother, I learned that helping life is heeding, and living without helping is not beautiful when she is capable. As long as we can help others, we should be able to help them. Except, we are not able to help a little, at least never let out a harsh word. So that hurting people who ask for help, it is something that must be avoided.

I walked back to find someone who really wanted to help me,

"To whom else do I ask for help, O Allah show me."

Not long ago I saw one house that I had not yet knocked on, which was a simple house.

"Do I have to go there? Because it's just that house I haven't been to. "

I ventured to go to that house, if I didn't hurry-mom would get worse. For sure now mom is waiting for me at home with a hope, her daughter can find a vehicle loan.

The occupants of the house opened the door and answered my greetings very kindly.

"Wa'alaikumsalam, Kalbu! Why are you going home all night, Udin?"

Udin was his name, my childhood friend and who often helped my mother carry sand.

"Din, I want to ask you a favor, "

"What help?"

"My mother is sick, now she has to be taken to the hospital. But I don't have a vehicle, because my bike tires are flat, do you want to lend me your cart?"

I knew that Udin had no motorbike or bicycle, he only had a cart that he used to transport sand. I had no choice but to take my mother's body to the hospital.

"You sure.... Will take your mother with it?"

"How else, I have to take you to the hospital."

"You, you wear it, and I'll come with you. I'll help you, take your mother to the hospital."

"Thank you, Din! You're gonna help me,"

"Together, "
