In My Hijrah
about pupu
...----------------...
Syila was surprised, why the alwan could know the cat with the name pupu.
" at that time, when Aby was about to buy detergent to wash. happened to be Amy's mother (bu Aidah), was cleaning a dull picture frame" explained alwan.
****
" asslammualikum ma'am?"
"Wa aleikumsalam, uh alwan, what would you like to buy wan ?" tanya Aidah who rushed to the alwan, carrying the dull frame while wiping the dust attached to the glass frame.
although the frame looks dull, but the frame and glass part of the frame is still good and looks sturdy. Because so long in stored food dull and dusty, the photo in the room is also still clearly visible.
"Alwan wants to buy detergent ma'am, same soap bath" said alwan.
"oh bentar yes, I take it first," said the mother of Aidah.
"Yes ma'am" said Alwan, smiling.
when I wanted to take the soap, I put the photo on the cashier's desk right in front of the alwan.
and alwan was curious what kind of photos are being cleaned up, without the need to peek. Alwan clearly saw the fose of an 11-year-old girl, with hair on the right left braid. As seen by him, the boy was hugging the white cat while smiling half with a happy laugh.
Alwan could see it, because the dust from the glass of the photo had been swept by the hand of the mother of Aidah earlier, alwan smiled because he recognized the face in the photo, which is in the photo, none other than Syila who was still sitting in 6th grade SD at that time.
"Why are you smiling wan,? Tegur bu Aidah while putting soap and detergent..
"hhh no ma'am, oh yes ma'am. Who's that in the photo.?" ask alwan. although he actually already knew that syila, but the curiosity alwan very big about syila, for that alwan pretend not to know the girl in the photo.
"Oh, this? This is a photo of Syila, the youngest child of the mother when she was still in SD" said the mother of Aidah.
"ko dull so be that ma'am? dirty again" alwan kept asking trying to dig up information about little syila, from his own mother.
"yes, this is because it has been stored in the warehouse, eating it dirty like this." explained Bu Aidah. Alwan was still curious the alwan did not stop asking.
"kok is stored in the warehouse of ma'am, why not put in the family room, or in the syila room.? Though the frame structure maih looks good and sturdy." asked Alwan.
"yes, mother also wanted it so. but syila always sulks and sad, if you look at this photo." said bu Aidah..
"why can you, then,?" ask alwan.
"it was my birthday, after my father worked. His father bought a kitten with white fur, as a gift for syila.
he was happy, syila felt he had a friend to play with. Although it was a cat, but Syila considered it was like her own sister, where it was taken, did not look for a moment in wondering. To the extent that sleep must be in the pupu cementin, if there is no pupu he can not sleep. Because the fluff is white with no other color, so syila give the cat's name pupu.
hemm.. Until one day? an incident occurred, at that time syila and pupu was engrossed in playing in the front yard, precisely there "ajar bu Aidah pointed towards the front of his stall.
"when they play.
she called Syila in for lunch.
***
"silk, what,?" call out to God from within
"iyah umi" sahut little syila
"ease you used to play lunch first, umi already masakin telor ceplok, may still be anget" said Bu Aidah.
Please hurry to sit at the table, greedily.
"there is in front of Umi" said syila who was eating.
"Who's pup isn't at the dinner,?" said bu Aidah
"So Syila has been hugged but her pupils jump, Kaya still kepengen play in front" said syila.
"ko in stay, later if the pup is missing, how does anyone bring it ?" abu aidah reminded.
"What umi is for a moment, abis eat syila also want to play billiards ahead" said syila.
soon Ibu Aidah heard a noise outside, while little Shila did not care and ignored him. IBu Aidah rushed out, worried that there was nothing with pupu, Syila's favorite cat. And sure enough, some people are crowding, because there is a cat that is run over by a car, namely pupu.
according to eyewitness accounts, the cat was seen running fast after the ball that was rolling down the middle of the road.
And at the same time there was a car passing fast and bulging the cat, to the point that the cat was staggering, and memorizing a ball that was brimmed across the road.
mother Aidah raised her pupu with both hands lying helplessly clutching the ball, when viewed from the physical, at first glance there was no visible wound.but saw his expression and helplessness, as seen by his physical appearance and powerlessness, Mother Aidah knows that the syila cat is feeling pain due to being run over by a car.
but Aidah's mother did not tell the incident to Shila, fearing that her son was sad, in the hope that there would be no fatal outcome.
***
but when the day changed in the morning..
"umiiii, umiiiii, umi.?"
Shouted syila as she cried bitterly
"why syila,?"
mother Aidah ran from the kitchen in shock, heard the cry of syila, and when Umi opened the door, umi saw that she was covered in tears while hugging her pupu, from there you know that your pupu no longer exists.
But the mother did not tell him at that time, fearing that Syila would be even more sad and guilty.
after the death of the pupu passed a few days, new umi tell what really happened with the pupu to syila and his father.so they know the reason for the death of the pupu, caused by what.
Since that time, she preferred to be moody and aloof, when her father brought another cat as a substitute, she still remained moody and did not want to take care of the new cat. There was a feeling of guilt because Syila left her alone at that time, without bringing her in.
"since then, this photo has been saved. Because syila always grieved when she saw this photo, but she also did not want if she threw it away, because this is also the only memory left.." said bu aidah to alwan.
***
Syila wiped the tears on her cheek, she smiled again at what she told me, from what she knew about the pupu.
"aby saw that photo..?" ask syila
"mmmmm say no" said alwan, with a small smile..
"ihh replied" said Syila while pinching alwan's arm
"Aw, awwww, Iya yes aby see amy. it turns out that amy from childhood is already beautiful and sweet well" said alawan seduce, making a slightly flushed syila face to hear it.
"continue to tell me what story to aby,?" ask syila
"Cie cie is there a kepo ni yeyyy?" ledek.
"Ih serieusan why" firmly syila with a frown
