Stitches
Lovely Mothers
"Daniella, Daniella, don't bother your sister, she's doing her job." He was silent for a moment, his attention turned to the beautiful woman with a sharp nose on the left side, "Rosie, Rosie, stop bothering your father who is working," cried the mother to her children who ran here and there.
Mom always seemed busy sitting facing her old sewing machine for sale in her boutique.
The Vasily family is a simple family, consisting of four children and both parents, it can be said that this family is very perfect. Mother has a hobby of drawing clothes designs, mother actually has aspirations to become a famous designer, he said, unfortunately, he failed to achieve that goal because the entrance fee to a special designer school here is very expensive. Mothers can only afford old sewing machines from the used market because the economic conditions of grandmothers and grandparents were very risky.
Dad left his son and his wife to travel to find a job in the other country, unfortunately he never came back again until now.
Dad, how are you doing there?
Remembering that today was the father's birthday, the children of the family went around in a circle looking down to pray followed by his wheelchair-bound mother.
"God is all-good, thank You for giving us both excellent parents, loving us so much and faithfully guiding us to become more mature human beings."
"Father, on this day, our Father is the forty-third birthday. A few years ago, You made it a part of Your universe. Thank you for your guidance and participation all this time."
"O Father, guide and guide our Father always. May in the days that follow, our Father may live the activity under Your auspices with gratitude."
"O Lord, blessed holy spirit, we long for our Father, return him to our arms again, I can only complain to You. Amen"

"Good morning," Mary said to the cashier of the place of guidance.
"Good morning too, miss. Is there anything I can help you with?" ask the tall man in front of him.
"Can I follow the registration of this designer's guidance?" ask Mary politely.
"Yes, you can be a miss," the cashier replied with a smile and wrote something to explain the other requirements that Mary had to meet such as clothes, tools to be carried, etc, and others.
"really?" Maria smiled, "If I may know, how much do I have to spend in order to take a class, sir?" Maria asked again.
"Seventy thousand rubles for one meeting for three hours, miss," the cashier replied with a smile.
Mary who initially smiled, immediately paled her face, she did not have that much money, the money she had was only forty thousand rubles.
After the man finished writing all the necessary requirements for registration, Mary took the paper and went home to show it to her mother.
Once home, "What is Mary?" ask Maria's mother while jerking violently. The look on his face turned ghastly with glaring eyes.
Mary lowered her face afraid to look into her mother's eyes, she did not dare to talk about all this because the mother would forbid it.
Sreth! The paper was taken out of Mary's hand by her mother.
His mother began to smile, over time laughing as condescendingly, "so this, the reason you left earlier? answer me!" His mother said in a high tone.
"I-iya Ma'am, I just want to pursue my ideals," Mary replied quivering.
"No!" His mother immediately jerked.
"Why are you always so mean to me!" shouted Maria.
Maria chose to go into the room and slammed her body right on the mattress while covering her face with a pillow and crying bitterly.
■■■FLASHBACK■■■
"Mariaaa hold my hand, let's come here, never give up, even if you fall, you have to get up again," the advice of his father Rudolf Vasily while encouraging little Mary who fell off her bicycle.
"Let's Maria, you must be tired after cycling with your father, right, eat this sandwich" ordered Luna, Maria's mother.
Maria was then six years old, and was a very jolly little girl, also adorable. Make anyone who saw it stop to just pinch his cheek.
One day, his father is sentenced by a doctor to a stage four brain tumor, the last stage of which is very terrible.
Many times undergoing chemotherapy did not produce results for him, he died on January 31, 1970.
This left a very deep wound for the mother, she was always silent in the house daydreaming, her gaze was empty when he was noticed, always seemed sad in the look of her face.
From that day on, the mother became a tempramental person, sometimes angry with no apparent cause. Maria felt this was one of the effects of her great loss of the man she loved most.
At that time his mother was sitting on her rocking chair while knitting, occasionally seen tears slip through the collar of his clothes, he still looks very hit, unable to release the father who had calmed there.
A year after the death of her husband Rudolf Vasily, Luna plans to follow Rudolf to heaven. All the ways Luna could live again with Rudolf. Luna once tied the rope and tried to hang herself, but failed. Luna also tried to downing insect repellent drugs, but failed also because he was successfully treated quickly by doctors.
One day, Luna is seen by Maria sharpening a sharp knife in the kitchen while talking to herself.
At that time, he had met a man like a priest and had a long conversation. Maria did not hear what they were talking about, but from that day on her mother got better, she was grateful and hoped that she would quickly recover from her deep loss, Maria tried to find again the man her mother had met in the city's central cathedral, but he was never seen again.
Luna who had sharpened her knife and rambled herself then turned to look at Maria who was silent to see it, Luna grinned like a hungry demon by holding the knife tightly and then tried to chase after Maria.
"Well, uh, uh." Ngos ngosan Maria ran out of the house, Luna who saw Maria from the second floor room window waved her hand, then from her shadow saw Luna stick the knife itself to her body.
"Nooo!! Ibu!!!" Maria screamed as she ran and cried towards the room.
"Mom!! Mom!! Awake it!!" Maria saw her mother covered in blood with a knife stuck in her chest. Maria called an ambulance to get help.
Upon reaching the ambulance, her mother was quickly taken to the hospital for an immediate autopsy. His mother could no longer be helped.
On the way to the hospital, the ambulance arrived right and left, "I did nothing!!" the ambulance driver looked confused.
The ambulance driver and one of the nurses managed to jump from the moving car on their own, but the ill-fated person who was in the back of the ambulance could not be helped, the ambulance fell slipping into the abyss.
The SAR had combed the site but did not find the bodies of Luna and Maria, but one body was found inside the ambulance. She was a nurse.

Ughh dizzy, "Please!! Help!!" maria shouted in a brick voice, she suffered a severe wound, torn in the skin of the thigh. When Mary's eyes were closed she saw her mother's body being carried by three men in black robes all, and another man in black robes as if sticking out his hand to help Mary, but Mary's eyes were already closed.
