Marlangens
CHAPTER 26

Actually I'm going to Semarang, where the mental hospital written on the photo of the mother alone. But I'm afraid something will happen if I'm alone like yesterday's peak. I finally decided to take Adit.

I went back to lying to Om Bagas that today I was going to go with a college friend out of town for college assignments.

Finally I set out with Adit by train, all the way I could not sit quietly. I wish Mom was still alive, but why was Mom put in a mental institution?

******

We arrived in Semarang at Twelve in the afternoon. Before going to the mental hospital we took the time to eat lunch so as not to limp. I am grateful to have a friend like Adit who would help me.

"Thank you, Ditudah want me to repotin every time," I said sincerely.

"No thanks, Langen. I am happy to help you" he replied with a smile.

Looking at the building in front of me somehow there is pain that plagues my heart, if it is true Mother is still alive why you have been hiding it from me by saying that Mother has died after giving birth to me.

"Is he ready?" adit asked while holding my hand.

I also nodded steadily while tightening my grip on Adit's hand.

Before entering the mental hospital, we asked first in the information section if there was a patient named Bu Wulan. It turns out that there was a patient named Bu Wulan, but we were not allowed to see a patient named Bu Wulan who I really hope is my mother. We have to meet with the doctor first to ask the patient's condition may or may not be visited .

******

We met a middle-aged male Doctor, he greeted us kindly.

"Good day, Doc." Sapaku is followed by Adit.

"Please, please sit down" the doctor said kindly.

"I'm here to see a patient named Ms. Wulan, Doc" I said.

"Hmm Ma'am Wulan yes, is this Mba named Marlangen the daughter of Pak Ageng?" ask the doctor in front of me with a serious face 

"Yes I'm Marlangen, sir. Is it true that the patient on behalf of Miss Wulan is my Mother Wulan?" I asked back with a voice that started to crackle.

"True, Mr. Ageng had advised if he had not visited Ms. Wulan for a long time. There will be a daughter named Marlangen. Because Mr. Ageng does not allow anyone to visit Ms. Wulan."

I couldn't speak anymore, I just cried. The fact that my mother is alive makes me both very happy and sad. Happy because I finally did not have to live life alone but I was also very sad to know you lied to me all this time.

The doctor took me to Mom's room, and the feeling of having enveloped me. Adit also never let go of his grasp on me which made a warm feeling in my heart. 

"This is Ms. Wulan's room, she rarely wants to go out. Please you can come in." The doctor allowed.

Before I opened the door of the locked room, I could hear Mom singing in a melodious voice, and I stopped my steps. I want to hear Mom's singing.

***My heart is broken in your memory

Now tears are falling

No more hope

Not as beautiful as that time

Beaming world

Night is as day as my heart

Hopeful with you

It's broken now

Sadness chained

The bud in my old heart I kept

It is destroyed before it develops

Why this should happen

In the midst of happiness

I want to feel it longer

Living with you***

I don't know why hearing my mother sing like that made me so moved. I opened the door slowly too.

I saw it for the first time since I was born.

"Mother, "my broom is hoarse because it cannot hold back my tears.

Mom just shook her eyes, and I approached her slowly. Mother's face that I've longed for, despite looking thin but Mother still looks beautiful with black hair and long like me.

"Who are you?" tanyanya's confused.

"I'm Marlangen, Mom. Mother's daughter," I replied with a sob.

For a moment I saw the rays of motherhood and happiness in Mom's eyes before she suddenly strangled my neck screaming.

"BASIC IBLIISS SON MATAI YOU !!!!"
