The Fortitude of a Mother

The Fortitude of a Mother
mirah decided to return to live in the house of disah


Rain fell soaking the earth, providing coolness and giving off a distinctive and soothing aroma of earth, to all directions.However, all that does not apply to beautiful women who are now very grieving,there was no coolness let alone calmness in him.


Because the flow of the river is not strong this afternoon the bodies of amir and pak cardi have been successfully evacuated, not too difficult indeed.Their bodies are squeezed and trapped in the car, the body of their bodies are trapped in the car,only the body of the amir alone came out half a part, musa even to unconsciousness, seeing the condition of the corpse of the amir is very sad, how not? the concrete iron is still faithfully stuck in the chest of the sister.


However, pak bambang had to give up his truck.Because the equipment is inadequate truck was not yet successfully evacuated, and.either will be continued or not.


......................


Amir's body has arrived at his residence, according to the plan this afternoon will be buried immediately no matter though the rain still falls.


The process of bathing and pronunciation of the corpse is complete, musa and soni who bathed and then gave it to him, assisted by the local ustadz and pak bambang.Mirah did not participate in the procession, because even though he was his wife, he was not involved in the procession,but there is a rule that the bodies of men by men, while women by women also, added rubah several times unconscious.


After all was done, the body was in sholati in the nearest mosque, then after all the neighbors, relatives and mirah and their children read al-Qur'an sacred verse while waiting for the tomb excavation to be completed.


Melt tears still faithfully down the cheek smooth mirah, the woman still can not believe the husband has returned to the lap of the ALMIGHTY.


"Akang..why would you leave me and my children? not that kang amir has promised to pick me up from home kak disah,lantas...why did I even go to a place that I can not follow?" beside her sobs, she spoke weakly and wistfully.


"Mom..why our father ninggalin, even though nana is always a good child.Nana still wants to play with her father," nana looked up at the mother with tears flowing down her cheeks.


"Oh, my dear, this is indeed the destiny of the ALMIGHTY, nana and brother soni remain a good child, always pray for the father to get the most beautiful place on the side of God," he said he was trying to give strength to his children, but his own heart was not that strong.Mirah was so fragile and sad.


"O Allah.is my destiny always this? abandoned husband.Although the way is different?" lament in the heart.


Before long, the gravediggers also reported that the burrow was ready because the time had entered the time of Maghrib, they decided to perform the maghrib prayer first.


Finished their prayers went straight to the cemetery, with accompaniment that delivered the body to the rest of the last so much.According to him there, the body of the amir was lowered.


After the deadzakan everything returned to the top and began to cover the burrow with soil, followed by do'a talqin mayit led by pak ustadz.


......................


After all the funeral procession was completed everyone returned to their respective homes.Including mirah and her family, separated and moses stayed overnight to accompany mirah.


"Thus, don't keep on crumbling like this.Seekly glare amir, so that he is calm there.Think of your children too, if you continue to pity them," gently and affectionately disah tries to revive the spirit of mirah.


Disah so sad to see the mirah that was slumped, his sister was clearly very very very fragile.Constructing it and giving spirit is his one way for now.


Mirah nodded, then she also invited nana to perform congregation prayers, with worshiped as her imam, because soni and moses had done it in the mosque.


...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...


Time continued to pass, not felt now has passed forty days since the death of Amir, the day of the mirah passed with his two children.Of course with the emptiness of his heart that wracked him,mirah always tried to be strong and strong in front of her two children, she did not want to look sad.


One day I made a decision...


"Soni, nana.keh, mother wants to talk something," said mirah that afternoon.


"Why mother? what's up?" curious, that's what nana and soni had in mind.There was no way the mother called them both.


"Look son.today the mother has made a decision, the mother wants to go back to live in your mother's house in the waterfall taneuh" he said sad


A moment of soni was stunned, then a question shot out of his mouth.


"Why is mom? are you leaving soni? is it because you're not around, and then you want to throw soni?" with glassy eyes soni asked, she felt excited to throw it away and no longer loved him.


Mirah and Nana who heard that also reflexively shook her head, then hugged soni.


"Soni don't talk like that, and mom loves you very much" said Nana Lirih.


Mirah nodded, Mirah let go of her embrace then held onto soni's soft shoulder she stared into soni's eyes.


"No, don't ever think like that, son," mirah shook her head "mother loves you very much soni, mother has no intention at all to throw you away, it's precisely mother will take you with us to the waterfall taneuh,soni lives with mom 'yes," he persuaded.


'Haaahhh.' I don't know ma'am,soni is still confused.One side of soni does not want to part with mother and sister, the other side in this house is soni growing up with his father, soni growing up with his father.So,many good memories we passed here." soni sighed, her eyes glared wistfully.
