I'M NOT YOUR DREAM
CHAPTER 08 Father

The semester break has arrived. I took revenge on myself. I spend more time on rest. The daily journey that is far enough to make me often get sick. Arrive at some point. Mas Ab, my first brother called in a hoarse voice.

“Dek tomorrow go home. Mother same Mr ailing”.

My heart seemed to suddenly fall, my pulse no longer pulsating.

“Dek You are horrified right? ”.

“Eh yes Mas, how can you be sick at the same time? What pain is it? ”.

“Udah seasonnya Khof, home yes tomorrow. Poor Ma'am you keep it alone. Tomorrow Mas pick up early in the morning.

“What if now? ”.

“Don't now, tomorrow morning after dawn”.

“Then Mas close first yes, do not forget tomorrow morning banget”.

“Siap”

That night I immediately cleaned up the things I was going to bring home. I kept awake unable to close my eyes at all. Remembering both my parents. Still thinking hard wondering why the same Father Mom can be sick at the same time? keep hurting what? how bad until I was told to go home?.

Arriving early in the morning after dawn, Mas Ab really kept his promise. Pick me up still afternoon. After all this time I did not return to my hometown, now I am coming home with a heart full of anxiety. Along the way I imagined things I didn't want as my tears trickled. I remember the thinner body of Father and Mother who was not as weak as usual when sent a picture of Mas Ab last night. I'm the last kid, I don't want to be left behind by my parents before I'm fully grown. To face life on their own. I've always been spoiled Father, though I rarely speak directly with Him. If I ask for anything always tell Mom. You are not the type of person who talks a lot. But very authoritative. Sober. Even though you rarely invite me to talk, but I know. My father loved me more without words. Because the true affection can not be expressed but proven.

Arriving at home I immediately embraced the Father and Mother who slept side by side. I wept. Can't bear to see parents who are in a weakened state both. This is something that no overseas child ever wants. Long time no see parents, suddenly there are families who tell png or give news of their parents have been called God. That's very painful. But I am still lucky to be able to see the faces of Father and Mother despite being in such a weak state it is more than enough.

I hope that after I'm in the house my parents are given healing. To be lifted up by the almighty. I'm happy to take care of them both. Father coughed in. made me not bear to grieve him. Especially while enduring the deep pain.

Father, I love you even though I dare not begin to speak. I'm the only one close to Mom. But you are the protector of this family. Source of family life. Thou hast smashed a bone to support Us.

Father, I may be your only son who never speaks. But your affection I can't repay with anything. Even if it were to be paid with money, I would never be able to pay for that Sweetheart.
