Mistakes & Selfishness Behind Happiness
Chapter 49

**return to**

One Year later.

After a few months ago I went back to Lampung and returned to work again in Jakarta. This month I decided to go back to the place of sobering, which is my hometown. Maybe this year I will also celebrate the Feast Day there. My plan will stay there for a long time.

I haven't been home for years. I miss them so much, sobah, kinsmen and the one I want to meet the most is him.

After asking for permission and already got permission to stop working. Pack up because I want to leave tomorrow.

I tell this good news, the news of my return to Mbak Yani.

" Hello mbak assalamu'alaikum."

" Wa'alaikumsalam Yu, what's wrong?"

" Mom tomorrow I come home, can you pick me up in Jogja?"

" I didn't hear wrong, did I? you really want to go home?"

" Yes, we'll see you. I miss you."

" You finally remember coming home too. Kirain has forgotten your hometown."

" Where can be so mbak, I miss you so much. yesterday did not dare to go home alone, if now mah has been brave, hehehe."

" Ah, thank goodness, I also miss you, often you come home when and I happen to work in Jogja so I can pick you up."

" What a coincidence, hehehe."

" yes. All right, tomorrow I'll pick you up, where and what time? Oh, who are you here with?"

" Himself mbak. I'm leaving from Jakarta."

" O kirain is the same family. Have you worked in Jakarta for a long time?"

" It's been a long time, it's been a year."

" Why just got home?"

" The matter of my work is not much holiday mbak, yesterday after the holiday I returned to Lampung. Because I wanted to go back there so I quit my job."

" That means you're planning on staying here long?"

" Yes, if anyone wants to find a job there too."

" There's a lot of mah here if it's just a job, tomorrow won't help you find."

" really?"

" Yes it is."

" Thank you, mbak."

" Yes, have you heard about where he will be picked up and what time?"

" Okay ma'am, I'll tell you again, yes, assalamu'alaikum."

" Na'alaikumsalam."

After calling Mbak Yani. I then called my mother.

" Assalamu'alaikum nduk."

" Wa'alaikumsalam buk."

" So what are you going to do tomorrow?"

" But buk. Take the train."

" How are you feeling?"

" It's been pretty good buk."

" Thank God, I'm glad to hear that. Are you sure you want to go back there? while there is full of your memories with him. It'll make you remember it and bring your pain back."

" Let's calm buk, I've prepared for it, I'll be fine. Believe it."

" Yes I believe, mother's girl is strong. If there is anything - what is the same story mother, do not in the pendam himself yes nduk."

" Yes buk. Sorry Ayu can't take mom home yet."

" No papa nduk, later if mom is ready to go there surely mom can go there."

" Yes buk, maybe also I will be long there buk, plan to be lebaran there, want to find work there too."

" Yes no papa nduk, even the mother is calm there you who take care of the waste there.Yes already heart-heart on the road tomorrow if leaving, take care of yourself always yes son."

" Yes buk."

" Yes my beautiful mother. Ibuk well - well yes there take care of health, Ayu already can not be beside mother now. So I have to pinter - pinter take care of health."

" Yes nduk, sometimes I am sad if you inget, just yesterday like my mother you carry you where - where, now you are grown, have lived your own life, far from mother."

" Yes buk, and away from mother is the hardest thing for me. I want to always be by my mother's side, I don't want to be far away from my mother."

" Sooner or later you will be separated from your mother, someday you will be married and have children, you will have your own family. If you are married, your mother is no longer entitled to you, the more entitled is your husband, so you must obey the husband said. So do not divenya you will continue near mother, what else if tomorrow your husband far."

" It's still a long time, don't discuss it first make you sad to know."

" Yes yes, I have had enough rest. Let's not sleep tomorrow."

" Yes ibuk. I'll take a break, buk, assalamu'alaikum."

" Yes nduk. Wa'alaikumsalam."

After the call ends. I don't know why I thought about Afif. I ventured to send a message. I don't know if his phone number is still active.

📨I

Assalamu'alaikum.

Hay how are you? be healthy and happy always. Oh, tomorrow I go home. Where is it now?

Why are you still calling him?

What in all this time, haven't been able to forget?

The answer is:

Because honestly I still haven't given up completely. Going back to the drenched house, giving me great hope again. That maybe I could meet him if I go back there again.

As long as life is still in the body. That's how long I'll never forget him.

Tring, ting, ting!

The ringing of the incoming call broke my daydream. I was so shocked when I saw whose name was on my phone screen.

" Assalamu'alaikum deck."

" Na'alaikumsalam."

" How's the deck? where else is nongol?

It is not you who have thrown me away. When you are with another, I can continue to be by your side. It will always make me jealous and it will definitely further torment me.But I won't discuss it anymore. Let it pass.

" Good news. How are you doing yourself?"

" Good deck too. He said he was going home? when leaving? "

" Momorrow mas. Will we meet there, where we used to meet?"

" Wait for you to go home first, deck. Maybe lebaran is home."

" all right. I'll wait."

" Bet tomorrow heart. Yes, assalamu'alaikum."

" Wa'alaikumsalam's. "

So long no communication, why do you feel foreign mas? I can't feel the warmth I used to.

It's like I don't know you anymore.

This morning I was sitting in the car.

Enjoy the view along the way.

Sometimes I fall asleep, hoping when I wake up it is almost there. The long journey sucks for me. That's why often

I chose to sleep so that it didn't feel long.

Feeling impatient, wanting to get to the goal.

A sense of happiness enveloped my return trip this time.

After arriving at the station of my destination, I immediately got off the train.

I looked to the left right looking for Yani's whereabouts, looking carefully at everyone, hoping to see the person I was looking for.

When he waved his hand, I saw him. I immediately ran over and hugged her with joy and happiness.
