Mika and Ali walked towards the door of the house with mixed feelings. Fear, anxiety mixed into one. The eyes outside the house stared at them with a sad and concerned look.
The door of the house that was open made Ali and Mika just enter their residence with their whole body shaking and sweat that had come out as big as corn seeds.
"Mother..," Ali's eyes heated up to see a woman lying stiff in the middle of the house. The entire body is covered with a long brown batik cloth.
Ali's feet seemed to be sticky on his footing. Tears are shedding smoothly. Staring at the woman who had given birth to him with blurred eyes because of the tears that had been flowing. The tongue feels too faint to say a single word.
"A-branch, Mother-mother," Broken tears Mika saw the condition of her mother-in-law who was no longer alive. Stiff in the middle of the house.
Mika pulled her husband's hand towards Yumna because her husband did not walk towards the cold body.
"A-abi this isn't Mommy, is it?" Ali could hardly believe that the one who was lying was Yumna, the mother. This morning before they left for work, they were still talking to each other. The mother looked healthy no sign of anything happening to the mother.
"Say me if this isn't true. Tell me if Mommy just imprank all of us . Don't tell me if Mommy's gone we're all Abi. Tell me if this isn't Mother Abi, say it!!!" Ali looked at Andi with a wet face full of tears. Denying that lying down is not Yumna the mother.
"Abi says if Mommy only plays hide and seek with us. Abi Mommy will not leave us, right? Abi, Mother of a strong woman who will not leave her children when she still needs her? Abi said just once this is not Mother, tell this is Abi's lie," Ali's tears flooded the firm face.
"Sabar Al, we must remind Mother to let Mother calm us all. Don't be like this, Mother will definitely be sad to see her prince fragile like this. Mother will not calm us down if the prince is not strong to accept his destiny. Abi asked for Mother's permission, Al. Let Mother be calm in nature. Let Mother smile to see her children happy even without her. Please let Mother so that she does not feel pain there Al. You are the only power for Abi and your brothers. You must be strong especially for the sake of Mother, then Abi and your sisters, Al. Don't forget there's also your wife, Al" Andi hugging her fragile son's body tightly.
"Abi why did Mother leave Al? Why is Mother so clingy to go when Mother has not felt holding her grandson? Abi why do Mother have to leave Al alone? Abi why do Mommy want to be an orphan? Abi, Al fragile? This chest felt crowded Abi," Ali clenched Andi's body tightly. Seeking strength from his stepfather.
His love has gone first. Leaving himself without offering to come with him. The love of the heart that always gives color at all times will no longer exist. The woman has gone for ever to the lap of God. God loves his love more so that it is taken first. As hard as Andi felt on his chest, it was as if there were thousands of daggers piercing his chest nonstop. Squeezing firmly so as to leave pain and tightness very intense. Single-minded? Can Andi ever give up her love forever?
Wh why? Why did not his love bring him so that they would unite there? Why should he be left alone?

The event of holing Yumna's body and even burying Yumna was also over. One by one the people who went to eat Yumna had started to go home one by one. Now only the nuclear family. Andi, Ali and Mika because, Mika's parents have not arrived in Jakarta.
Ali gently rubbed the wet soil that had been sprinkled with various flower petals. Drooping with clear droplets that have not dried. His chest felt on a large rock. Didn't expect if he started today already has the status of an orphan.
"Mother..., is Mother already happy in there? Mother..., why did you leave Al so quickly? Why did Mother not give the opportunity to Al to give Mother a grandchild? Mother.., Al did not expect that this morning was the last time we spoke. If only Al knew, Al would not enter work just for Mother. Even to watch Mother close her eyes for the last time Al did not witness, to help Mother recite the shahadah for the last time Al also did not exist. Mother..., can Mother forgive Al that is not in the last moments of Mother? Can Mother forgive all the mistakes Al made while Mother was alive? Mother.., it feels so sick in here Mother. It seems Al can not be left Mother, but what can Al for Mother? Can Al be strong for Abi, his brothers and wife, Al? Can that be Al doing Mommy?" Ali swiped Yumna with his palm. Even Ali hugged the wet tomb tightly. Letting his clothes dirty because the wet ground eats the mother.
"Mother.., thank you for being an angel in Al's life, thank you for making Al a king in Mother's life. Thank you for educating Al to be a strong man and husband. Thank you for all the abundance of affection that until anytime will not be replaceable. Mother.., Al loves Mother more than anything. Mother of the angel without wings that Al had. Mother of the strongest woman that Al has, from Mother Al learned a lot what is called patience and sincerity. From Mother Al learn to accept every destiny of God. Now, now Al will try to mengikhlaskan Mommy, may Mommy calm there," Ali rubbed his eyes that continue to flow clear circles. Even those eyes already looked puffy with a red nose.
"Mother.., thank you for being present in Mas's originally dark life. Thank you for giving me so many colors in my life, thank you for being the star to shine every night that I go through. Thank you for being the figure of the wife of Sholehah for Mas, thank you for giving Mas a son and daughter who are so beautiful and handsome . Mother, if only Mas could choose Mas also want to come with Mother. However, God is more affectionate with Mother so that Mother is taken first. Mother, Mas really loves Mother born and inner. Mother the strongest wife that Mas has, the patient wife that Mas has. Mas besgurankih was once a part of Mother's life, Mas happily Mother brought love Mas until the end of life. You will do the same thing as you do. Only Mother beloved woman that Mas have other than Mama, only Mother the bidder woman in every tired that Mas feel. I love you, Mother," Andi kissed his old wife's tombstone. Fondling if it's the face of the wife he kissed last night non-stop.
