My Family's Gift

My Family's Gift
Elected


"Liam woke up. join mamah yuk" asked my mother while bowing.


"where's mah?" ask me who is still so sleepy.


"mamah wants to know liam the same temen mamah". he said while holding my right hand.


At that time I was 7 years old, when I was sleeping, suddenly my mother took me away. At that time I was very happy when my mother invited me, because it was very rare for mother to come out of her room anything else to want to play with me.


"your mom.. Who do we meet?" ask me back.


"it's quiet come along. later liam also know" he replied with a smile.


"dark mah.. liam was afraid".


"there will be mamah.. liam just calm down.


Though it was at 12:30 p.m., he led me to the backyard of the house, the back yard of our house was quite spacious with tall trees towering around every corner, and there was a banyan tree in the middle that was wrapped in black cloth with a sprinkling of broken flowers around it, our maid every day always watered around the tree and would replace the flower with a new one, no matter what its purpose and purpose, at that time I was just a boy who was so innocent.


Mother invited me to go near the banyan tree with a lantern that she brought, after arriving in front of the tree, suddenly my hair had great goosebumps, even my legs could not stop stumbling, but mother seemed to understand my fear, she also showed her hand grip. Then he put a lantern on the ground, and asked me to sit with my legs folded, and mom took her hands and rubbed her, as if she were praying. I could only be confused to see what he was doing at that time, I who was sitting next to him could only be silent without saying anything with the body that was getting harder not to tremble, she said, I wanted to cry at the time, because to be honest, I felt we were being watched by many people, even though there was only my mother and I were there.


Mom continued to rub her hands while continuing to say a speech that I did not understand at that time, she was like speaking in Arabic, but sometimes I hear he also speaks Javanese, I don't know what he means. Then not long after that, the air that was already cold, suddenly felt increasingly cold and continued to cool, the twigs and leaves around began to sway, I did not feel the wind at all. Mother's sound is also getting louder and firmer, for so many times I really want to cry. Till....


"IRANA...".


Suddenly with the voice of a man who was so loud camping above me by calling my mother's name, I immediately stood up and immediately wanted to run away because I was so scared, but my mother immediately grabbed my body and gestured for me to be quiet with her hands.


"The noblest, the great, the loving... I took my son to my two, now he is 7 years old.


"IRANAS... TAKE CARE OF HIM, BE TAUGHT HIM, GUIDE HIM, LIKE WHEN YOUR MOTHER DID HER TO YOU" A voice that camping out of nowhere its source.


Then I saw a scene that was really, even until now I was still traumatized if I remembered her, that is, mother's smile, so creepy. Very different from the smile he showed me just a moment ago. A sneaky smile was very clearly drawn on his face back then, as if he had managed to grab onto something he had long been waiting for.


"Well". said the mother while bowing her head.


After that the cold air that I felt like it was piercing my bones before it began to fade, and the branches of the tree were no longer shaking.


"You heard it was Liam.... She chose you, ahhh mother is proud of you".


While hugging me he said that, at that time I did not understand his words, because what was in my head was about the smile earlier, which I still could not get out of my mind. I was just silent and did not respond to his words, then mom with her happy face she again invited me to go back inside while stroking my head occasionally. When we were in the room, he told me to sleep, while accompanying me to sleep he kept stroking my head.


"Liam, now you are the mother's successor, the blood successor of our family"


That was the last word I heard before I fell asleep, because the incident was so mentally and mentally draining.

"Liam's... Liam...".


"Where's this?".


I was so confused where I was, I was on the water, and as far as I could see I could see nothing but water, like I was in the middle of the ocean, with such a beautiful view of the night sky, several times I saw the stars falling up there.


"Liam.". call a woman .


"ka..kid you who?" ask me in panic.


Looked like a woman with a face so beautiful, even to this day to me she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, wearing a white dress that covers her legs, he slowly approached me, then extended his hand to help me stand up.


"You can call me whatever you want.


"m.that means? and... Where are we?". I asked back.


"This is the world I created.. It's beautiful isn't it?". she replied as she looked up at the sky.


I just kept quiet and didn't respond, because I didn't know what to say anymore.


"Liam's... What do you think the world is today, how.


I again did not respond to his words, because once again at that time I was just a 7-year-old boy who did not understand anything.


"sorry sorry... like my question is excessive.... how about I ask, what world do you want?" . his question back.


"What do I want?.... I want to be close to both my parents and my brother.


"that's it?". she asked.


"A. I don't know what else I want, but. If I'm allowed to ask for something, I want a world where everyone can be happy". reply me so innocently.


"hmmm happy.. if I. I want to make a button, which if I press. then the world will reset, return to the original". say it with a big smile


"why is that?". I asked back.


"sorry. don't think about it.


I was so curious about this woman in front of me, who was she? what did he mean to bring me here?.. But I didn't lie to my feelings, I felt so comfortable to be able to talk to her at this moment.


"Liam.. from now on. I'll take care of you".


After saying that, he approached me, then he poked his forehead with my forehead.


"sleep"


It was the last word he said before I suddenly felt so sleepy that my vision faded and darkened.
