When That Day Arrives

When That Day Arrives
GOODBYE



04:30 Mai Hwa wakes up in the morning . It was his habit to wake up early at that hour.


Then he saw again the only daughter who was still sound asleep . He seemed to fix the position of the child's blanket just the wayangnya, which looks to be curled cold . Then he kissed her forehead . After that, he came out of his room.


As always , it will water all its plants . Mai Hwa is a Flower loving woman . Various types of flowers exist in the yard of his house.


Not long after Mai Hwa woke up, Meilin woke up . But the woman pulled back her blanket . He was still trying to find warmth in the blanket, from the cold morning weather that was quite tickling the skin . His eyes were wide open perfectly .


The teenage woman was seen looking at the Wall of the room, as if there was a very exciting Barby film there.


Yep....Meilin is a child Animation Film enthusiast . Why, but that is it . Even all the Shin Chan Movie Episodes, none of which he missed, hhhhhhha.


Krekkkk. "sounds the door to the room opened.


Mell..wake up baby !" exclaim Mama


Yes Mih...has woken up ." Meilin answered lazily.


Come on baby wake up, take a bath and absorb ." ask Mama again, while passing to the bathroom.


Meilin woke up lazily, then made the bed . He then rushed to his room to take a shower.


Half an hour later, at the Dining Table there were already three of them . Mai Hwa, Meilin, and also Mbak Yanti.


Mel..Here you take Mbak Yanti to the Airport ?" ask Mommy.


Meilin spontaneously looked at Mbak Yanti, while raising her eyebrows.


What's up ?" ask Mbak Yanti wonder.


Isn't it the next week it's gone ?" meilin asked a little grumpy.


Ma'am Yanti has to go home early dear, because there will be taken care of her marriage ." Her mother explained, as if - would understand the look on her son's face.


Meilinpun silent and chopped - milk obok that he would drink.


Meilin want Fried Rice or Bread ?" ask Mbak Yanti.


Meilin drink Milk only Mommy, blom laper." Meilin answer.


Yes already ..ini mbak make diwadah only yes, who knows later on the road Meilinnya hungry khan ." said Mbak Yanti with heart - heart, so as not to offend the child.


Ma'am Yanti understood, if Meilin had acted like that already, it was because she was very sad . He knew very well about the girl.


Finish their absorption packed - pack to the airport . Meilin also helped raise goods - goods Mbak Yanti into the car.


If you have arrived in Surabaya, do you know me ?" said Mai Hwa, a few hours later, when they had arrived at Soekarno Hatta Airport.


Yes Ma'am." said Ms. Yanti.


The three of them waved each other . Meilin looked wryly looking at Mbak Yanti who entered the Chek in 'room, and still kept looking at her 'until Mbak Yanti lost her sight . This is the first time he's away from that woman . And whether there was still time to meet again, Meilin was unable to answer him . Instantly the daydream went out somewhere.Why is SEPARATION so very painful ?


Come on baby ..." take her Mama.


He Mi , ayokk ." Meilin's answer was shocked.


Honey.." said Mama opened the conversation, when they were already in Car , but still parked.


Yes Mi.." Meilin answer, look towards the woman of his love.


Do you not mind dear , if you extend your school in the village together with your Grandma ?" mai Hwa asked very carefully to her daughter.


meilin was silent.


Forgive my dear Mami, Mami can't bear to leave you alone at home . While Mami had to be in Singapore to accompany Papi." said Mai Hwa again, slightly pressing her tone.


It's okay Mi ." answer Meilin , with a straight look ahead.


Forgive Mami dear .." ask Mami again, with a gagging-like esophagus.


And Meilin went back into silence.


For him the same at home or at his Grandmother's house, that's also his Parents never with him.


Three days later Meilin and her mother left for Singapore.


But before leaving they first send goods Meilin kekampung his Grandmother through shipping goods.


Meilin opened the door of the room where her Papi was being treated . Slowly stepping her feet closer at her Papi, and then holding the Hand of the Man of her first love.


Pi...." - Shimmy , with eyes that have glazed - glass.


Why doesn't Papi want to wake up?Am I too naughty, so Papi is lazy to wake up because he saw my mischief ?" smirking again.


All night Meilin just held her Papi's hand and looked at her face.


He remembered the shared memory of that fallen asleep Face .


Will we do that again ?" the murmur is in the heart .


Three days Meilin was in Singapore , she had to return to Indonesia immediately . But not to Tangerang, but to Medan . to his Grandmother's place. Continuing his vocational school there .


The previous night, when his Grandmother and Mami were on Call, his Mommy and Grandmother agreed Meilin will continue the middle Vocational Third class in her Grandmother's village, which is in one of the cities in North Sumatra . Her grandmother had already prepared everything, regarding Meilin's transfer with her.


Love ..


your grandmother will be waiting for you at the airport, right ?" mami said, when they were in the taxi to the airport.


Meilin just shut up . He just looked straight ahead of the road.


Forgive my dear mom !" look at her mamm again, while gently stroking Meilin hair that looks already waist-long.


And back to look meilin was just silent.


Mihhh, Meilin go yes." ucab Meilin say goodbye to her Mommy, while hugging her Mama . Shortly after they arrived at the airport.


Yes dear ." said the Semampai woman.


Meilin flew from Singapore directly to the airport in Medan where her grandmother was waiting for her.


Mai Hwa took off her daughter.


He looked at his daughter's back until it disappeared, because it entered the Chek in room.


***


It has been One Month Meilin accommodated and doing school activities.


Meilin and Mai Hwa just exchanged news through her grandmother's mobile phone.


the village is indeed much different . he had to walk to school just like his other friends.


The distance from his home school was about One KM, but it was not felt because he did it together with his schoolmates.


Meilin also has a friend who is quite familiar, namely one of the neighboring girls of his house named Yuyun . But Yuyun is no longer in school . He has graduated.


Meilin activities are still as usual keep playing Piano . Piano belonging to his Papa who has been there for a long time . Maybe the piano is about the age of Meilin, or even more.


Sometimes Meilin spends her time teaching her new best friend Yuyun to play Piano.


Nek..." said Meilin, when they were at the door of their house after school.


Usually his Grandmother immediately replied to him, but this time the house was very quiet, there was no word from her Grandmother . The front main door was wide open.


Meilin then took off the shoes she was still wearing, and headed straight for her Grandma's room.


Coincidentally, the door to her Grandma's room opened, and she saw her Grandma crying as she pleased.


Grandma.." say hello to Meilin again.


His grandmother was shocked to see Meilin who was already at door , and immediately immediately embraced the only grandson.


Meilin's grandmother had only one child, Albert, Meilin's Pap.


Meilin's grandfather died when Albert was two years old . And her grandmother Meilin chose not to marry again and decided to fight for only her only child .


Grandma why are you crying ?" ask Meilin gusar.


Your daddy son, your daddy's dead, your mom just told Grandma '" answered Grandma with even firmer tears.


Five days ago Meilin seemed very excited, because her mother told her that her Papi had been conscious, and had made much progress on the recovery of the Papi.


And yesterday afternoon , Meilin also spoke to her Papi , even if only briefly . Hearing her Papi's voice alone seemed to have exceeded the boundless happiness . So this morning when Meilin went to school with her spirit . He hoped that soon his Papi would recover and be able to return to Indonesia soon, and they gathered again as before.


But....


His chest felt tight, his legs were trembling, his mouth was as if it was locked tightly, there were no words capable of being spoken.


Meilin sat on the icy floor, with the bag still on her back . It seems he was silent . No matter what he saw, his tears also seemed - if he did not want to come out.


At his grandmother's house there were already many people waiting for the arrival of Albert .


The next day At Three o'clock in the afternoon the sound of ambulance sirens roared - roars from a distance . In the house also already looked very many relatives, neighbors, and also the people in the village gathered.


That was the custom in the village of his grandmother Meilin if anyone died.


Papinya Meilin's funeral plans are tomorrow afternoon, at three in the afternoon.


There was nothing the young girl could do . Meilin also looked at her Papi's face, which was stiffened, which she would not see again in her lifetime.


Pi...Where will we meet again ?" whispered Meilin, who is the same, while looking at the face of the man who looks asleep.


When will I hear your voice again ?" whispered again.


WHY IS SEPARATION SO PAINFUL ?


Beside Meilin was her Mama, her Grandmother and other relatives, who were still roaring - roaring crying over her Papi.


"The room was too crowded and noisy.


And they were very wasteful in inhaling the air, so I was only a little.


I see a lot of distant brothers.


We usually gather only on certain days . Because we are so far apart . There are even different countries.


There were also many friends of mine, and many whom I did not know.


In the corner of the room ...


At the place where we gather usually before going to bed, I faintly saw my little daughter Meilin playing the Piano . The piano that shimmered in the corner of the room, the Russian-made istrumen piano.


His fingers slowly pressed the duct for the sake of the Piano duct, and faintly I heard the piano's tone.


Hmmmmm.it seems familiar to my ears .


I have heard his tone many times.


Thread - the water droplets dripping from the soft eyes of my little Angel . And slowly I heard my little princess singing with her sobs.


"Molo saut ma ho borhat tu tadao, holan Jesus baen dongan mi . ToguonNa ho ramotan, sai tiur sude na lakka.


Nang landit porhot sidalanan mi , nang haccit ngotngot.


Dang boi ganggu, dang boi lilu ho,


molo Jesus mandongani.


Naloja ho nang holsoan ho,


Jesus ma totong dongan.


UrupanNa ho, akkupanNa ho, sonang do totong in the noodles.


Nang dao tahe situjuon,


nang tolhas tu.


In paima ho, tomuon Na ho,


tung sonang do on Na ho's hull"


Ahhh how sweet my little angel's voice is, so that I am really sleepy made her, and I want to fall asleep soundly ."
