Suffering Becomes Happiness
chapter 28
Then Sumarni's mother and Joko answered the question from Sumiatun's mother simultaneously.....
"We're ready for deck.!!"
Then after that they all immediately disbanded. Mr. Joko and Sumarni's mother returned to his room, while Mr. Hartono and Sumiatun's mother moved into the middle room while watching TV they sat back down.
Then Sumiatun's mother reminded her husband to immediately give news about the 100th anniversary of Farida's mother's death to Icha.
Sumiatun's mother said....
"So how is mas.!? We have finished telling this to Yu and Joko.!! So now there is Icha that we have not yet told.... So according to Mom, Icha's best phone now, and tell her everything.!!"
Said the mother to her husband....
Then Mr. Hartono replied....
"All right then, ma'am.!! I'll call Icha soon.!! But we made it clear together, ma'am, so that Icha feels satisfied.!!"
Then Sumiatun's mother replied....
"All right, mas.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono immediately called Icha.... And after the phone is connected, then Icha immediately say hello to Mr. Hartono and Sumiatun's mother....
"Hello... "Assynolod.!! Papa, Mom.!!"
Then Mr. Hartono and Sumiatun's mother replied.... "Goddessalam.!! Icha.!!"
Then Icha asked the two of them....
"What is Papah and Mom calling Icha.??"
Then Mr. Hartono answered and explained his point....
"Look Icha... Papa and your mother called you on purpose, because there is something very important that we need to talk about with Icha.!! It happened to be about the 100th anniversary of Farida's mother's death. So it just so happens that day is less than a week away from now.!! Because it's nothing, we don't mean to send Icha back to Indonesia... But Icha just know, because after all this must be according to Icha very important.!! Because we feel how Icha feels about the late, even though he is not there. So this is despite the only warning about his death, which is 100 days.... Then We feel Icha must know.!! Yes hope both of us even though Icha is not with us, it means together commemorating it, but at least we hope to Icha, in order to help prayer to the deceased, and wish this event good luck.!! Because we plan a memorial event for the 100 days is different from the one yesterday, which is the 40th anniversary of the death of Farida's mother. So in this case the 100th anniversary today, your mother and I plan to celebrate it rather hilariously.!! So pray for it.!! Hopefully this event will be successful and there are no obstacles.!!"
"Oh yes definitely papa.!! Icha will pray for him always and always until anytime.!! Because for Icha, even though Mother Farida is no longer there and is not with us anymore, but for Icha she remains close to Icha's heart, and will not be devoured by time.!! But Icha is very grateful to Papa and Mother, for telling Icha such important things.!! So Icha was so happy to hear it.!! Thanks again very much pah.!!"
Icha said to her papa....
Then Sumiatun's mother "the Mother" added....
"Yes must be Icha.!! Cook something as important as this Ica is not told.!! But don't forget the Icha.!! Don't just forget Farida's mother who Ica prayed for.!! me and your father are also prayed dong.!! Don't think we don't love Icha.!! Is it not mas.??"
Said Sumiatun's mother to Mr. Hartono in a sulking tone seeking attention from Icha...
Then Mr. Hartono replied....
"Lohs... Yes dong.!! So it must be.!! You are the heart of our heart.!! Who do we say, dear.!! Yes the proof is now Icha is in America.!! That don't think Ica was exiled or banished by us.!! That is precisely for the future of Icha herself.!! Because we wish we had to be successful people.!! It is not that we do not love continue Icha assume Icha in alienated so.... Wrong that.!! And if there is a comparison between our affection for Icha, suppose Icha feels that we do not love Icha.... So I especially if it is considered to be a bet between my affection for Icha or not... Then I am ready to walk to America to pick up Icha....!! Isn't it Mom.??
Said Mr. Hartono to his wife also with sulking words, and also sought the attention of Icha.
Icha who heard the words of Mr. Hartono and Sumiatun's mother, then Icha responded and said....
"Ah.... Dad, Mom... Don't talk about it.!! Ixha is crying out for her.!! Not that Icha differentiates Icha's affection between you and Farida's late mother, but that Icha's words are merely a sign of Icha's devotion to the late house.!! Because after all, Icha still remember as a child when Icha dropped out of school in grade 3 of elementary school.!! How did Mother Farida struggle to Icha.!! Even then it was not only Icha, Mother was helped by him.!! Yes, although the intention of Mother Farida's help at that time with papa's approval, but at that time who jumped directly to persuade Icha and Mother to continue school and work on Mother at home almarhumah, that what sounded in Icha's ears was Mother Farida's voice.!! So Icha remembered that well.!! Especially now that he no longer exists. So how could an Icha just forget about it.!! And again is it appropriate for an Icha to be ungodly to the deceased.!? Because Icha remembers well.... There is a saying" lest the beans forget the skin.!!" So that's what makes Icha can't just forget about him. So again, do not take the wrong view of Icha and Icha feelings to the deceased.!! For Icha "Papa" "Mother" and "Almarhumah" is a very very dear Icha until anytime.!! Moreover, Mother who has struggled in containing Icha for 9 months in the womb.!! Of course Icha is very inappropriate if the affection of Icha, Bhakti Icha to Mother just fade.!! And what you and I need to know.!! There is nothing in the Icha dictionary that compares the affection of the two of you in this world more than anything.!! Catch that.!!"
Say Icha while crying....
Hearing Icha say like that and sound very sad, then Mr. Hartono and Sumiatun's mother became panicked instantly.... Because the two of them did not think that his words had made Icha sad. For a moment they both fell silent and looked at each other and blamed each other, because they felt an overwhelming panic. Then the two of them told each other to persuade Icha, while giving each other his phone.
After a while, the phone held both of them. And they talked together and took turns with each other through the phone, in a tone of persuading Icha...
"Icha darling... Kok Icha is sad.... Don't cry dong son.!! We were just kidding.!! Swear to.!! It is not our intention to doubt Icha's affection for us.!! We know that.!! Never mind son.!! if Icha is sad, we are also sad dong.!! We swear it.... There is not the slightest bit in the hearts of papa and Mother to doubt Icha's affection for us.!! Yes we are sorry, if our words made Icha sad.!! But I swear... We do not doubt at all Ica's love for us.!! That was just us kidding.!! we are very sorry about Icha... And as far as Icha knows, let alone now Icha is in America..... Icha with us too, can Icha feel how our affection for Icha.!! So nothing and there is no way we doubt Icha's love for us.!! kan Icha knew Papa himself from a long time ago since he married the late, from young until he died had no children or offspring.!! So who else dong that Papa loves.. kan Icha.!! So there is no reason if Papa doubts Ica's love to papa, because Icha was before the status of being Papa's child, it was raised by the late mother Farida to be an adopted child.!! Especially now, right.!?"
Then Sumiatun's mother added....
"cha... Denger Mom son.!! Your papa's words were.!! Icha do not misinterpret dong.... We said such words just now, just because we missed you.!! Masa Icha can't catch our language anyway... Try Icha remember, long ago when Icha and Mother were abandoned by your father.!! How miserable we used to be.!! Even before your father divorced Mother, we already felt the suffering, or misery of lack.!! Even if Icha remembers... As a result of these problems, I often fight with your father.!! And even the quarrel took place in front of Icha himself back then.!! If Icha can feel what's in Mom's feelings.... Icha will not be strong.!! Because I know very well.... Mother's quarrel with your father that happened in front of Icha, especially Ica when it was a child, it was not good.!! Try to remember that.!! The problem was to make Icha traumatized, Icha to be insecure, and always frightened when seeing or watching Icha friends fight.!! Because of the quarrels Icha witnessed among those Icha friends, it was commonplace every day in our family environment.!! Icha remember that.!! But the struggle of a mother may not despair just like that, because if we remember when your father divorced Mother first, how Icha to drop out of school due to lack of costs, because, and even for daily meals Mother was willing to be a washing worker to the neighbors.!! And it was not paid for with money, but only with a plate of rice.... That's all I did for the sake of living you, son.!! Because what was in Mom's mind at that time was only one, namely Icha can still eat.!! So I memorized the history of Icha from the past until now, because Mother is the one who conceived and gave birth to you, and who fought for you.!! And one more thing Ica needs to know.... Icha from childhood until now never hurt Mom, and never make Mom disappointed let alone make Mom mall.!! So there is no reason for Mom to doubt Ica's love for Mom.!! So that's the real thing that's in Mom's feelings.!! So if any of Mother's words made Icha sad, it was just a joke.!! And as I said before, it just diverts Mom's longing to Icha.!! Once again I'm sorry son.!!"
Said Sumiatun's mother to her son....
