Black Ink For Mother

Already this late, mother still struggling with her work. Dozens of cardboard snacks have piled on the dining table. Mother always works hard. Almost never heard a word of complaint from the mother. Perhaps in the living dictionary of the mother there is no word tired. Perhaps also the mother was too concerned about the survival of his children. True, since five years ago, exactly when the father was called by the Divine. Mother's duty increases. Not only educate their children. But it must also be the backbone of the family.

Akila can only pay attention to her mother from behind the curtain door of her room. For a long time, Akila often did the same. Can only pay attention to her mother from a distance. It's not that Akila's intentions are impolite, but since five years ago, her mother has become colder with her children. So communication is rare. A warm and loving mother is no longer present. Akila hates her mother. Probably not with his mother, but his mother's attitude.

Still dawn but Akila was ready with a gray-white uniform wrapped in pink sweater. After the prayer, Akila goes outdoors without saying goodbye to her mother. Though obviously seen by Akila, his mother was cooking in the kitchen. Akila wonders where to stop for a moment. It is impossible to go straight to school. The school gates must still be tightly closed. Akila thought of someone. He picked up the phone in his gray skirt pocket. Pressing the contact button and selecting the call menu. Not long.
"Yes?" Answers from the others.
"Anterin me yuk." Invite Akila.
"Where?"
"Somewhere, I wait at the kamling post near the house alley."
"Ok, eh wait?"
"What?" Akila almost turned off his cell phone.
"I bathe first what not?" He asked.
"Do not have to over time," said Akila.
"Okay, but do not get me wrong, if there are any scents."
"Yes." Akila replied and then turned off his cell phone.

The air gets colder. The wind was blowing harder. The sky was cloudy. Looks like it's going to rain today. Akila pressed her body together. The sweater she wore did not warm enough. Five minutes later Azzam came. He was wearing knee-length pants and a shirt wrapped in a maroon red jacket.

"It's still time to go to school?" Azzam asked as soon as he saw Akila ready with the school uniform.
Akila glances at the tiny object on her wrist. It's fifteen minutes to five.
"No," Akila replied.
"But somewhere." He continued.
Azzan just follow Akila's instructions.

Soon after about ten minutes they had reached the destination. Azzam was surprised by Akila's destination.
"Maybe Akila is missing her father," Azzam thought.
Akila asked Azzam to lead the prayer, then asked him to stay away for a moment. Visible from a distance Akila was crying beside her father's tomb. Azzam just noticed from a distance. Azzam felt sorry for his little friend. Unconsciously Akila was already in front of Azzam. Azzam was dreamily.
"Udah." Azzam asked.
Akila just nodded.

They rode along the capital streets filled with skyscrapers. Along the way Akila spoke something.
"Zam, lo feel there are no smells not tasty?" Akila asked to release silence since last. Her voice sounded buzzing as Akila clamped her nose with her two fingers.
"What smell?" Azzam asked back, pretending not to know.
"Comberan." Akila replied casually.
They laughed together. Unconsciously the school was in sight. The gate is already wide open. But that looks just pack bun alone. Azzam went straight to the bathroom before the other kids knew, his reputation would fall. While Akila went to class and read her favorite novel.

After school Azzam promised to take Akila to the bookstore. Akila waits for Azzam in front of the school gate. Soon Azzam came.
"Good afternoon neng, bang Azzam ready to take neng Akila wherever neng want." Azzam chatter.
"Jayus." Akila replied coolly, he did not respond to Azzam's jokes.
There is a bit of disappointment, but yes never mind Azzam still have a lot more natural jokes.

They immediately set off for the destination, but suddenly in the middle of the journey, Azzam stopped his bike beside the sidewalk.
"Why is he?" Asked Azzam to clarify Akila's words just now that Azzam suddenly stopped the bike.
"I already bored alive," Akila replied clearly.
Azzam's mind was not good. Incidentally they stopped in front of the restaurant. Azzam brought Akila into the restaurant yard. Maybe Akila is having Azzam's problem.
Azzam offers a menu after finding a seat. Akila just replied.
"It's up to you."
Azzam ordered Akila's favorite avocado juice and his favorite capucinno ice.

"I hate the same nyokap." Akila continue his story without command. Azzam just listened. Now he knows Akila's subject matter.
"I lost a mother Zam, a warm mother, a caring mother now no longer exists. There is only a cool mother. I hate Zam's mother. "Akila's tears streamed down her cheeks.
"I know the mother lost half her soul, but what do you forget is still there, Nazana mba and mba Risma who need mother affection."
Azzam remembered something.
"Hey, it's just right."
"What?" Asked Akila curious.
"Now the 21st date means tomorrow the 22nd." Azzam replied.
"Kindergarten boy also knows Zam kalo out date 21 must be on the 22nd." Akila slightly upset at Azzam.
Azzam smacked Akila's head with his capuccino ice spoon.
"That's not what I mean."
Akila understood with Azzam's words. He immediately took his cell phone in his pocket and away from Azzam. But soon he was back soon.
"Risma mba is being PPL outside the island while Nazwa mba is not active," said Akila.
"Calm me help."

Before dawn Akila had to get up before the mother first. Akila prepares something that he and Azzam have planned. She placed a brownis of capuccino on the dining table and a blue letter beside her.
Uhukk
Akila went straight to her room when she heard her mother cough. He peeked through the curtains. She saw the mother was surprised by the brownis on the dining table. Then the mother's eyes were fixed on a blue letter. Mother opened it.

For the beloved mother.
Long time we do not face to face each other.
Long time we do not talk to each other.
Still remember mother with brownis taste capuccino.
We used to make it together.
Then enjoy it with a cup of coffee.
Mother Kila missed those moments.
Kila know mother lost half of soul mother.
But.
Mother should also know there are still Kila, Nazana mba and Risma mba.
Mother's children.
Still remember mum on us?
Warm greetings from the mother.

That's the letter Akila wrote all night. Akila gasped when she knew her mother was in front of her. Mother immediately embraced Akila.
"Forgive my mother."
Akila just nodded. Tears of both can not be dammed again.
