Last Letter to Mom
4

His heart was misty for sadness.

"Mom. But Sani beg you! Don't do this mom! hik hik hik." Sani sagged hugging her mother's legs tightly. He has no power to shed tears.

"If you don't want to, do you want your mother to go?" Mei snapped and stomped her feet so Sani let go of the hug from her mother's feet, slamming.

Sani sat down. "Sani please ma'am...Sani wants to study well and will try to work for mom. But Sani please.we don't part ma'am! hik hik.. Sani cried and his shoulders trembled withstanding the sadness he had been afraid of all this time.

"worked? What do you want to be? Can you make billions and lift your life in no time. Huh uh?" his mother snorted away an annoyed face.

"Sani please ma'am... " With her body shaking Sani looked up and tried to plead with Mei.

"Mom only asks one thing of you if you want you and mom to be safe. Put these clothes on and decorate and then follow the person who will pick you up!"

Mei says firmly so that Sani will follow her orders.

"But ma'am.. Sani doesn't want to be separated from mom. Sani also.. hik hik hik" He again cried unable to express his heart. She didn't want to be a prostitute who was sold to Mama Banyu.

"One more time you deny mother, mother who will leave and will never see you again!" Mei stomped her leg back to escape from Sani's hand. And walking towards the door left Sani crying inside her room.

Ira who had already woken up stood in the middle room. Listen to what just happened. He was silent, not daring to speak a word.

"Dress her!" Mei orders Ira to dress Sani. Mei went to the bathroom to clean herself up.

With the move evicted due to a sprain, Ira brought the makeup equipment to Sani's room.

Ira grimaced with the pain of walking limped to sit on Sani's bedside. He looked at Sani who was still crying. His heart was so painful to see the girl so sad. From yesterday Ira had suspected that May had made a transaction with Mama Banyu. He deliberately fished for Mei to talk, but the result was Mei so tightly shut her mouth. Until this morning, his conjecture became reality.

"Come here, baby!' Ira patted the mattress beside her, for Sani to get closer.

Sani approached with a sigh and sat down next to Ira. His eyes were puffy and his tears kept melting.

Ira's fingers wiped the tears that fell on Sani's cheeks.

"Darling your mother knows better what's best for you. Don't be sad! We're not going to split up. You just need to meet someone who will take care of you for the rest of your life. Don't be like us!" Ira gently rubbed Sani's hair that was half-waist.

"Sani. Can't refuse?" Sani said shrewdly.

"Sani just follow your mother!" Ira turned to the door to make sure Mei wasn't there. Then he whispered in Sani's ear.

Sani listened to what Ira whispered. He knitted his eyebrows together looking at Ira. Ira just nodded.

Sani was silent thinking about what Ira whispered to him.

"Sani we hurry. Your mother will be angry." Ira invites Sani to change clothes.

"But mbak. I don't usually wear open clothes." Sani Protests against Ira.

"Remember what Ira said!"

Sani nodded slowly.

"Yuk wear clothes first" Later mbak magic you become the princess mbak." Ira comforts Sani so that she will no longer cry.

Though his heart was very sick to have to part with the child who from the red baby was already in his care. Sani is like his own son

Ira began to decorate the 17-year-old girl with thin makeup. His heart felt sliced while he was ceaselessly applying Sani. His eyes began to glaze over. He didn't want to look sad in the boy's eyes.

Ira took the round glass and thrust it at Sani.

"Look at the princess she's so pretty." Ira looked in admiration for Sani's beauty.

Sam looked at his face in the mirror. She feels like a grown woman with a make up look.

"Let's stand! Let me take a photo first!" Ira pulled Sani to his feet.

"No need to mbak. I'm ashamed not to close the aurat." Sani protests are accustomed to closing the aurat.

"Make memories. Let me keep it later." Ira's light immediately pressed the camera button quickly.

The sound of a car horn was clearly heard in front of the house.

"Sani put on her shoes. Your mother will be angry." Ira thrust a pair of silver shoes scattered with beads is very suitable to wear with a dress that has been worn Sani. Pretty elegant.

"Mbak.her feet are as swollen as blue." Sani saw Ira's feet turning blue.

"Yes, soon I will take Bejo's mas to the masseur. Remember the word mbak! Pray first!" Sani nods.

Ira hugged Sani one last time tightly. He hoped Sani would be lucky.

"Go! Your mother's been waiting." Ira rubbed Sani's shoulder.

Sani's move was so shaky. The feeling cannot be properly expressed. He just followed Mei's orders. Sani glanced back at Ira who was still sitting on her bed. Ira waved her hand her tears had gathered at the end of her eyelids. As hard as he wanted to hold the circle did not fall he ended up crying as well.

Sani walked into the living room, where Mei was waiting for him. He pretends to open the phone and doesn't care about Sani's gaze on him.

Sani approached his mother.

"Mom.. Sani say goodbye first!" Sani reached out her hand wanting to kiss Mei's palm as a final farewell with Mei.

Mei was so cold, not a single glance at Sani. His eyes still look at the phone screen.

Sani pulled back his hand. A sad look on his face. She forced a smile so that her mother would not see her grieving.

"Mom take good care of yourself! Keep health! Sani has made herbs in glass jars and mother's favorite mustopa in the closet. Sani say yes ma'am! Assalamu'alaikum." Sani stepped out and didn't look back.

He saw a black sedan parked in front of his house

Someone opened the door for Sani and quickly closed it. He walked forward to the driver's seat. After pairing the safetybelt he pressed the car's auto key and forwarded his car according to his employer's orders.

Sani could only look ahead without knowing where to take her and who to meet.

Sani only hoped that what he planned would work.
