Mother
10. From Behind the Thick Mist

"Left Sir,"

Sasa asked the driver to stop the transportation when they had entered the area of the road Mawar,

The transport driver who has since left the terminal was completely silent and then stopped the transportation he brought, he said,

Sasa quickly took out the money from the wallet he took out of his backpack pocket,

"Take the change, sir,"

Sasa said as he put money on the dashboard, then opened the door of the transportation he was riding on, and then opened the door,

The transport driver was seen smiling with a blank look towards Sasa,

Sasa got off the transport, and did not look back because he was impatient to go to his old house,

"Be careful, kid... May you be safe yaaa..."

Said Mr. Driver and the figures in the transportation that Sasa had boarded, their voices were like echoing, along with the disappearance of the transportation, and the sound of their voices,

Sasa who was unaware of what was happening seemed to continue walking down the street towards his old house,

The streets that used to be always crowded now look very quiet,

Not only the houses of the neighbors who looked deserted, even the stalls, counter hp, until the small shops around there also seemed quiet as if there was no life, as well,

Sasa wobbly, he was actually a little surprised because since it was from the highway to his house he did not meet any human, at all,

Indeed, it has been a long time Sasa did not visit there, so it could have been different, everything was different,

But...

Does it make sense, just for a matter of a few months all immediately so this alien?

Maybe everyone moved from there?

Where did they move to?

"Why should they move?

Sasa continued to wonder, until then he saw like there was fog descending into the streets in front of Sasa,

Sasa momentarily stopped his steps, his mind was increasingly filled with many more questions, too,

Whatisthis?

Why was there suddenly a fog that descended and appeared blocking the view?

"Sasaaaa... Sasaaaa..."

The voice was so soft, the voice that it turned out to be so Sasa missed after he left,

Ah no, no,

Mother did not really go, she lived in one place and now Sasa was going to pick her up home,

"Sasa son... This is Mother dear... Come here naaak.. come here naaak..."

The sound of Mother's voice calling back,

Sasa wanderlust, looking for the origin of the sound of his mother,

The moment where Sasa was looking for the origin of his Mother's voice, suddenly seen his hands outstretched from behind the thick fog that blocked the view, he said,

Sasa seemed to look at the hand outstretched from behind the fog, the long-seen figure of Mother appeared from there, and,

That hand, the hand of the Mother now grabbed Sasa's face, then rubbed it gently, she said,

His eyes were glazed, it was still difficult for him to believe he could see the figure of his Mother again in front of him,

Mommy now looks smiling towards Sasa, her hand is now reaching for Sasa's hand,

"Let's go home, Mother will cook your favorite foods,"

Said Mother, Mother,

Sasa also nodded, he then joined hands with Mother walking through the thick fog,

Mother's hand felt so cold as ice, just like the air today, that once Sasa entered the thick fog it felt like the air around Sasa had become so cold, so cold,

"From now on stay with Mother, Sasa, stay with Mother, we are together forever, we are together forever..."

Mother said as she walked and joined hands with Sasa,

Sasa who still feels difficult to believe but at the same time also happy seems to continue to look at his Mother who walks next to him,

"Mother, Sasa will really be a good child for Mother, Sasa promised..."

Sasa said, making Mommy turn to him, then smile with a strange smile.
