When Kimy was a child every night after reading bedtime stories, her mother always gave wise advice. Kimy still remembers a lot of advice from her mother and some she writes in her diary. However, her mother's advice that made Kimy a tough person was, "A person who often goes through rainstorms, he will not be afraid just by a drizzle," said her mother first. The little Kimy asked, "Kimy doesn't understand what that means, mother?" his mother replied, "Maybe I gave you advice too soon like this. But I'm sure one day you will understand what all my advice means. Now it's time to sleep, honey. Tomorrow you go to school"
So many years passed. Kimy is now 25 years old and works as a script editor at a book publishing house. For Kimy it is not easy being an adult. His mother is now old. His hair was gray and he had been in the hospital for a long time because of cancer. Kimy also never felt affectionate attention from a father, because his father died when Kimy was still in the womb.
Life's destiny is sometimes brutal. But, by flowing Kimy goes through every process of life and always believes that every problem that comes is always one package with a solution. "It's true what mom said that someone who often goes through rainstorms, won't be afraid just by drizzling rain. It's only now that I understand what mom's advice means," said Kimy
In the past, it was her mother who read fairy tales to Kimy, now Kimy herself reads life journey stories to her mother every night until she falls asleep. "Even though she's old and has a lot of gray hair, mom is still beautiful and her smile is still sweet." Kimy said to lighten the mood a little.
On Tuesday the 28th December. The morning after, Kimy cleans the house, it is her duty as a child first to visit and feed her mother before going to work to the office.
It was a very cloudy morning. The sky looks gloomy and unhappy. The weather is also cold, so Kimy, who is not used to wearing sweaters, has to wear it. From a distance, you can hear the screams of bats swarming around a large banyan tree. The farmers who used to pass through the road in front of the house were also nowhere to be seen.
"Looking at the sky it looks like it's going to rain heavily this morning" Kimy's heart murmured
Kimy went to the hospital to visit and feed her mother first. Arriving at the hospital, her mother's face grew paler and her body grew thinner. It really made Kimy's heart helpless and for Kimy the feeling that morning.
was a little different from the previous morning. While he was busy feeding his mother, his mother said in a stuttering voice, "You are growing up and beautiful, dear."
"Who used to be, his mother was also beautiful and tough," replied Kimy with a cheerful tone
"It's time for you to find a life partner, son. I'm old and sickly like this, maybe it won't be long before I can see this beautiful face of yours" said mother while rubbing Kimy's cheek
"After mother returns to health, Kimy promises to find a life partner. That's why mother gets well soon, okay?" Kimy replied, hiding the sadness in her heart
Finally, after Kimy finished feeding her mother, Kimy went to work by not forgetting to kiss her mother's forehead. For the past few weeks, Kimy's work has not been very focused, but her colleagues and superiors are very understanding seeing Kimy's condition, who lives alone taking care of her mother who has been sick for a long time.
On that cloudy morning all kinds of different feelings from the previous days were answered when Kimy was at work receiving a phone call from the hospital that her mother had died.
Kimy cried, unable to hold back the tears she had been trying to hold back. Finally, without much thought and without asking for permission, Kimy went straight to the hospital to see her mother who had died.
One week passed, after Kimy received several guests from colleagues and some distant relatives to visit and offer their condolences. In memory of his mother, Kimy re-opens her tattered diary which is full of her mother's collection of advice when Kimy was a child.
Slowly, Kimy opened and read every piece of advice from her mother that Kimy wrote herself and found advice from her former mother like this, "Goodbye and feeling lost is only for those who love him with their eyes, but for those who love him with sincerity there will be no separation for him"
After opening and reading a collection of advice from his mother, with a half-hearted tone and slightly smiling lips Kimy said, "See you again in Heaven, my Angel"
The End
