"Mom.... Mother..??"

Erna patted her mother's cheek softly as she called out to her but the middle-aged woman was already unconscious. Erna took her mother to her room and laid her on the bed.

He smeared eucalyptus oil all over his mother's body, hoping her mother would wake up.

"Mom, wake up ma'am, she said while crying.

It turns out his mother was abandoned by his father. All this time he never showed his sadness like this. But maybe this was the height of his heartache.

"Father is very unheard of, how could he come only to hurt mother, Erna's inner self.

That night, he decided to sleep with his mother. He hugged the mother's body tightly and his face was stared at which was still deathly pale. The girl came back crying looking at her weak mother like that. It was heartless to let her mother endure all her own heartache. Erna had to make her mother happy no matter what.

In the morning, the girl woke up at 4am. He immediately woke up and immediately checked his mother's forehead which turned out to be feverish. Erna picked up the blanket and covered her body.

"Better today I'll let you not go to work. There's no way I'm leaving mom alone in this sick state.

Erna rushed to the kitchen and made porridge for her mother. He also heats up leftovers overnight to make breakfast. While waiting for the porridge to ripen, Erna went to the room to check on her mother again.

The mother's eyes were still tightly closed, but she was crying. The girl was really worried about her mother's current condition.

"Mom, '' he said slowly to wake her up.

He did not respond to his call and stayed asleep.Erna tried several times but still his mother did not wake up.

Erna decided to go back to the kitchen to check the cooked porridge. After maturing, the cooker is immediately turned off. Erna was still very worried because her mother never woke up and just kept crying.

The day was starting to light up, Erna opened the window curtain and turned off the lights. Don't forget to feed the chickens in the cage. He went back to his room and his mother woke up. He was sitting on the bed but his eyes were empty. Erna approached and touched him slowly so as not to be surprised.

"Mother,'' call her.

He did not reply and just looked at him. His eyes are so soft and so sad. The girl's heart could not see her usually cheerful and chatty mother changed like that due to the arrival of her father.

"Mom ate ya.'' she said.

He shook his head again at the sign of unwillingness.

"Mom should eat, Erna has prepared porridge and warm tea. Mother's stomach must be filled so as not to hurt.'' persuaded Erna.

Without waiting for approval from her mother, Erna went straight behind to pick up food for her mother.

"Erna bribe yes, ma'am.''

The first bribe he did not receive, his mother turned her face away.

"Mom, I have to eat so I don't get sick. Remember mom, for years we lived alone but mom never complained. But why after meeting my father became weak like this?'' said Erna saw her mother.

"Father of our same heart Ern.'' said Idah slowly.

"Yes, I know, Mom. But it is free to lament such heartless humans. Where is that cheerful and chatty mother?''

"Ern, don't you love your father?''

"Son, Erna just love mom.'' she replied.

His mother breathed heavily and then exhaled.

"Eat ya ma'am'' he said as he fed her.

Finally his mother took a bribe after a bribe until the porridge in the bowl was gone. Not forgetting after eating Erna gave him medicine and told him to rest to recover.

"Ern, you don't work, son?''

"Udah allowed?'' ask her mother again.

"Well, I don't have to worry, she replied. "Jaudah mom break.''
