Mother's Advice

Yumna opened the bag of crackles that Ali put on the table. Removing a goat's stew in a quarter-sized plastic wrap of sweet oil. Then take out the white glutinous rice wrapped in banana leaves and handed it to the son.

"Nih eat sweetheart, mother was loved by the mother. It's good for you alone. Later the mother had also eaten it there," said Yumna while thrusting sticky rice to her son, who greeted the son with a sweet smile engraved on his lips.

"Thank you Mother" Ali really likes white glutinous rice. When they were still in the village, when the mother went to the place of the person who held a wedding or thanksgiving must always be brought the rice. It is with pleasure that Ali ate the fate of the white glutinous so voraciously.

There are several kinds of chili that Yumna brought from the place of marriage. Starting from goat gulai, chicken gulai and meat rendang. It's good for them to eat until tomorrow. No need to cook chili again, just cooking rice that was cooked through megicome. Very practical like never again who rely on firewood sought in the field or even forest.

"Many mothers also bring gulai," said Ali when he saw the goat gulai placed by the mother beside the crackle.

"Yes, it's good for us until tomorrow, baby." replied Yumna.

"Yes Bun, but very good, Mom is Bun. Usually if Mother goes to a wedding event never bring a cake," Ali recalled several times they lived in this city never the mother brought anything from the wedding venue.

Except when they're in the mother's hometown. Every wedding, circumcision and thanksgiving will bring rice and goat gulai. Yes even for two people to eat, but it is enough to eliminate the sense of wanting to gulai. The taste is very different from that sold in rice stalls. More fun at the wedding venue. The spice is very fitting and very taste makes the tongue will not stop eating it. Not what is sold is not tasty, delicious just different if it is felt on the tongue.

"Yes, Mom is good, honey. Actually, the mother had wanted to go home but was called again by the mother and told the mother to wait a while near the kitchen. Ehhh know-how the mother came back with this crackle and was given the same mother. He is very good, darling, even a lot of people who brought the cake earlier. Though the invited guests were numerous," Yumna told the son with a smile. Not to deny if Mom is a good person.

Ali nodded her head at the mother's words. "Oh yeah Bun, I met Dad at the satay shop we bought a few days ago" Ali looked at the mother. This is how Ali, whatever happens will be told to the mother. Except for something you shouldn't know.

Yumna who was still cool with her innate stopped her movement. Look at the son seriously. "What's he saying?" Yumna raised her eyebrows a sign she was very curious.

"Yes, I asked for a hug, Bun," said Ali, which was what his father wanted when they met.

"Then?"

"Why not ready? don't you want a father's hug, honey?" Yumna furrowed her brows deeper and deeper. After Yumna, his bachelor son craved a father's embrace. But something that the son wants is in sight, but his son is not ready.

"I want to hug Dad, Bun. Even very wanted. But my body wasn't ready to take a hug from him. It felt really heavy, but my heart really wanted to hug Dad, Bun," Ali looked at his mother.

Again Ali shivered at the face of his father. The look on his face was full of disappointment because he did not grant the father's wish that was just easy. A hug, a word that won't be hard to make happen. However, the reaction of his body that seemed to refuse a hug was very, very much desired.

Yumna looked gently at her son. Holding and gently rubbing the son's burly hand. If Yumna could be selfish, she wouldn't allow her son to talk to her ex-husband's family. Remember again Yumna of a sin that she will bear later. Prohibiting his flesh and blood to establish friendship with his biological father. If Yumna did not remember sin, she would never allow her son to forgive the wrongs they had given her and her son.

Living alone to raise a baby alone is not easy. Plus the work he has to do to meet the needs of himself and the baby. Given that it all feels like Yumna wants to hate her ex-husband's family. But remind Yumna again of a sin. That is what makes Yumna advise the son not to hate his ex-husband's family. Although deep in Yumna's heart she wants revenge for her ex-husband's family. Moreover, the mouth of his former father-in-law is very unforgivable. Always looking for Yumna's faults and slandering her here and there. What did Yumna do? shut up, just shut up. Yumna prefers to be deaf to all the unsubstantiated slander of her former in-laws. Not afraid to retaliate, just that Yumna did not want to argue with him. Lazy, tired is what Yumna felt when arguing with an old woman who did not repent. Yumna was sure that if she did not get a reply in the world, there would be an afterlife that would give her a reply that might even be more than Yumna imagined. The point is patience.

Maybe some people think Yumna is a woman. Let them say so. They will only comment according to what they think, without thinking about what will happen behind it. The ones who undergo it are Yumna, not those who only issue opinions. Need what Yumna with their opinion. There is no luck. There is even anger that will rub the recesses of his heart later. Therefore, Yumna prefers to be deaf to everything that happens nearby. It's for himself.

"Mother understand how you feel, dear. But try to accept it. Maybe you can't take it completely, so your body acts like that, baby. If you have received it well, then everything will feel easy. Believe in Mother." Yumna explained to the son.

Yumna did not want to instill anything bad in her son. Yumna only wanted to educate the son according to the teachings of the religion he professed. He did not want his son to go the wrong way just because of his heresy.

"Yes Bun, I'll try what mom suggested. Thank you Mother," said Ali.

"Sama-sama Darling. Maybe you still have anger or disappointment with them, so you are difficult to accept it, dear. Mother's hope is only one, you are able to forgive their mistakes. Whatever the form, be it small or big." Yumna explained to the son.

"Yes, Mother, I will end what you explained." Ali replied with a smile.
