Prince Modosa
Chapter 7

Farah rode her motorcycle in tears. Her stepmother's words were very painful. Cacian and makian often he got long ago from his stepmother. If her father is not at home, her stepmother always says rude.

" Fucking son of a bitch!! You should have died long ago! "

The words that his mother often uttered were too painful. Whether what causes Farah to always be reviled like that, which she knows after her mother's death, everything changes. His father became a quiet man, not caring and he felt wasted. Plus after marrying that woman, Farah's complete suffering was complete. Without the affection of his parents he tried to survive independently and out of the shadow of his family. Life that is too difficult makes Farah a strong girl, stubborn, unyielding even though on the one hand she sometimes feels fragile and can only cry in the room.

When he lost the direction of life and wanted to end his life, only his two sisters and best friend always gave him spirit.

# Flashback On#

When Farah was six years old, she lived like any other child who always played and laughed cheerfully. His mother was an elementary school teacher and his father was a private employee. He gets a lot of love from both his parents.

In a fairly dense settlement they contracted in a small house. Expensive property prices in Jekardah do not allow them to buy a house. Salaries from both parents can only live for a day.

Mommy Meli is a loving, disciplined and decisive person. Farah was always educated to do things according to the rules.

Every day, if his father and mother work Farah always entrusted to aunt Eri, the sister of Meli. His house is not far from where he lives, still a complex. Farah also gets affection from her tant. At that time Aunt Eri was married but she had not been given children to him so small Farah as a gift that God gave her, by taking care of the little Farah who was so beautiful and cute made Aunt Eri feel happy and not lonely. Farah was always showered with a lot of love and affection from everyone.

That afternoon, as usual the sun was so hot and the air was hot. Meri's mother didn't teach because she was sick. Little Farah was asleep on a fairly thick floor mattress. The narrow house did not allow them to use the bed because it would take up space.

Aunty Eri was returning to Bogor with her husband to visit his sick father-in-law. Farah who was so close to her aunt wanted to come to Bogor but her mother forbade because she was afraid that Farah would stay there. For a mother, being away from a child is a very painful thing. When Farah plays too long her mother will always look especially if Farah stays, her mother will definitely cry.

At that time, Ms. Meli felt nauseous and dizzy because she was two months pregnant. Morning sickness syndrome makes him sometimes lazy to work. He prefers to spend time at home to rest and play with Farah.

"Mother is crying, why?" ask little Farah. As she was about to take a nap, she saw her mother crying beside her.

"I don't know, I just want to cry." Mum Meli hugged her son tightly.

"Mother, Farah can't breathe.uhuk..." Farah coughed at the mother's close embrace.

"Oh, my goodness. I'm sorry your mother, son, Cup.. Cup... Mother's son." he hugged Farah back but this time a gentle hug.

"Mother loved Farah." she kissed her son's cheeks in a row

"Farah also loves mom" she replied

"Farah, be a good boy, son. I always pray you will always be happy, so successful and loving people like mom and dad."

"mmm.. Farah will always be a good child and dear father and mother." he said softly, he had started to sleepy when the mother stroked his back as usual.

" Farah should always be happy and cheerful, dear mother Farah."

" Mm.. Farah knows Farah's dear mother. Later when mom is healed we cook together, Mom? Next week take a look at the clinic? Farah wanted to see her sister on the television screen" Little Farah always called the USG monitor with a television screen.

" Yes, we'll cook together and look at this week's sister, Farah bobo, baby."

" Dear mother Farah, dear mother Farah, dear mother Farah.." the soft words that Farah always heard until she entered into the dream.

Ms. Meli who saw her son was asleep is now tidying up the messy television room. After that, he continued his work in the kitchen. His stomach was rumbling because since morning he did not eat breakfast. His nauseated stomach refused to put a little rice into his stomach. Usually he waits for noon and buys a pack of hodgepodge with lontong. Not to forget he bought fruit pickles that always make his saliva drip profusely.

"I'm hungry" she said, but she refused to leave Farah alone at home. Ms. Meli looked at her sleeping son then she went back into the kitchen, opened her refrigerator looking for something she could cook.

"Gegg stok's up, I forgot to shop." He closed the freezer and went into Farah's room. Take a jacket and some money to buy food.

He approached his sleeping son and kissed Farah's cheek again and again." Mother's son was so beautiful even while sleeping." he smiled to see his beloved daughter was asleep, reluctant to feel he left Farah even though he only briefly to go to the food stall.

"Mom go first, son, I'll go for a minute. I'll be back again, Farah bobo, good boy. Cup.. Cup..."

Ms. Meli went outside, not forgetting she locked the door to her house to be safe. The crime rate in Jekardah is quite high, even in broad daylight sometimes people dare to act by robbing and stealing at the target house.

In haste - gesa bu Meli bought hodgepodge and side dish for his family, he said, unexpectedly when he bought food he met some neighbors and chatted long enough to not realize some residents around ran and shouted.

"What's this?" ask one of the residents

"There was a fire in the alley, a huge fire has spread to the neighbors. Don't know what the cause is, just secure your valuables!! "

" Hurry and get out of here, save yourself!" yelled one of them

"Hurry up and call the fire department!" another scream

Meli's mother's head felt pulsating, she scattered and ran towards her house. "From...!!!" he remembered his son who was sleeping in the house locked from the outside.

He saw his house hit by fire.

"Don't go in ma'am, there the fire is growing. Mother's house must have been partially burned" said neighbor Bu Meli

"No! I have to save my son. He's sleeping there, Farah needs to be safe!" in haste - maeli moussek moussek from the crowd of citizens who were saving themselves each.

Some people prevent some residents who want to get closer like Meli ma'am.

" Don't get in the ma'am, the fire's too big. Some of the mother's house was hit by the fire." one of the residents held Meli's mother's body so as not to enter the house

"I have to go in, Farah is there. I have to save my son! Huhuhu.." he shouted loudly while crying loudly.

" But mom."

" Mrs Meli pushed the man and went inside her house. The smoke was so thick, the back door of the house was hit by the fire. The dense settlements and the blazing weather made a fast fire and devoured the homes of residents.

"Flood.. Farah...!!!" mamma shouted as she opened the lock of her house

"From, uhuk.. Uhuk.." his mother coughed - coughing up smoke.

"Mothers... Mothers... Huhuhuhoo...." Little Farah was crying in the corner of the room. He was so scared when the room was filled with smoke and did not see his mother.

"Mother.... Mothers... Huhuhuhoo...."

"Flood....!!!" mama held her son so tightly. " Don't be afraid, baby, there's a mother here. I'm sorry son, I neglected to leave you alone."

"Mom, I'm scared." Farah was so scared

"Don't be afraid, there's a mother here. Let's get out of this house, "mum Meli took off her jacket and put it on Farah.

"Farah, you can hold your breath right out of the house? Don't let this evil smoke in. Hold it out of the house, you can, kid, cover your nose."

"Yes mother." replied Farah immediately closing her nose.

"Mom's son is smart, Farah's dear mother." He held his son when his strength grew weaker, an empty stomach since morning made himself a little dazed, his head felt dizzy again plus the dense smoke that entered his house.

"Dear mother Farah, dear mother Farah, dear mother Farah." every step of Meli, she expressed her affection for the child. Farah could only nod because she had to cover her own nose.

However, when unexpected the fire blazed right before their eyes until the mother immediately turned her body and protected her child. He fell on Farah's body. His strength was not strong enough to hold his son again.

"Mom, I want to be with mom. Come on mom, get up!" Farah tried to shake her mother's body to get up quickly.

"Can't Farah, mom's not strong mom's stomach hurts. Quickly out!!" ms. Meli pushed her son hard one last time to get Farah away from him and to survive the blaze.

"Mother.....!!! farah shouted, she ran outside the house and cried loudly. As her mother protected herself from the rubble and flames, Farah's head hit the floor until her temple came out with fresh blood. He did not care if his body was injured and bleeding. Little Farah yelled at people to save her mother immediately.

"Uncle, help my mother. He's there, help him uncle!" Farah looked up at one of the people around. He asks for help from everyone who is gathered.

"Eh, that's Meli's snooker stuck in the house. Let's help."

" Come, let's try first about not being able to enter. The fire is so big!"

They tried to water the water with makeshift tools, trying to see the state of the mother Meli from outside the house. The distance not too far from the outside of the house makes it easier for his mother to be saved even with some burns.

" Mpok Meli profit in the living room, so kite easily transport him. Try you check, still no breath?" one of them tried to check the veins of Ms. Meli

"Mothers... Mothers... Wake up mom..." Farah's voice was so loud, she cried seeing her mother unconscious.

"Sighs, but weak. We need to call this ambulance."

"Pick you a phone." One of them called the emergency ambulance number

"Udah."

"Mother..huhu... Mothers... " Farah was still sobbing because her mother never opened her eyes

" Farah.." wirred by Meli, sayup sayup heard the sound of her son crying loudly.

"Mother..... Huhuhuhoo..."

"Alhamdulillah, already aware." said one resident.

"Farah my son" said Meli's mother, she touched her son's hand.

" Dear mother Farah. Farah has to be strong no matter what. I slept for a while, Farah, don't cry." Little Farah just nodded, she felt happy because her mother was already conscious.

Ms. Meli smiled, but her tears trickled down the corner. His breathing began to sting, as if enduring pain. His eyes closed again and it turned out to be the last time

" Eh, this is how it is. Ms. Meli did not breathe anymore" said one resident, she saw the last incident of Ms. Meli closed her eyes.

"Try you check Man, this is really no him." asked one of the residents to Maman, his friend

"Iye, this really is mah. There's no him."

"Innalillahhi wainnalillahi rojiun" they said simultaneously. Little Farah was confused by what happened, she thought her mother slept for a while but in fact fate said another Farah was left forever by the mother.

"Please Neng, Meli's voice is no more." Bang Maman as a neighbor looked down lethargic, he could not bear to see a child as small as Farah had left his mother

"Mother Farah was sleeping bang, was mom saying goodbye to Farah, wanted to bobo for a while" he said innocently

"Your mother is dead, she sleeps forever" said another resident

"No, I said, I just took a little nap. Bang Maman was horrified, I said that to Farah." he asked for a defense to bang Maman. But the man just looked down and just glazed over.

" Why did you wake up so long? He said a minute. Farah hungry wanted to be fed to her mother. "he said innocently, until an hour passed his father came running and covered in tears.

When he heard his wife was gone, Ilham had permission to go home. His feelings were devastated to see his wife lying outside their neighbor's house. Little Farah still did not understand the situation, she continued to wake her mother. Calling his mother's name tirelessly.

"Father, I'm sleeping but Farah called, she won't wake up sir" she told her father

"Mom said sleep for a while, but this hasn't been up for a long time either."

His father just hugged Farah, and looked at his wife's body from the side. "Mother is dead, she'll never wake up again."

"No, that's not possible sir. I must've woken up, I just said I wanted to sleep a little." Little Farah was still adamant that her mother was just asleep and hoping to wake up again.

"Take your mother, son!"

The next day, they buried her mother in a public cemetery not far from her home. Little Farah could only cry beside her mother's grave. Aunt Eri was so hysterical, she was very sorry because yesterday had returned to Bogor so she could not help her brother.

"I'm sorry brother, huhuhu...." Eri was so sorry, her only brother was now gone.

"I promise to care for and love Farah like my own son, I hope you are calm there." Eri stroked the tombstone that read her brother's name.

"Let's go get Farah home" she asked ponakan

" Farah wants to be here with mom." Farah refused to get up from her place. He still shed tears.

"Farah loves you, isn't she the same mother?"

Farah nodded her head quickly

"If you love me, let's go home. We pray that the mother at home, Farah the good son and the righteous mother will be happy to have a child like Farah." Eri stroked Farah's hair gently.

"Father, let's go home." take him to the father who is still pensive. His eyes were so puffy, occasionally he was seen shrinking his tears.

"You go first, you still want to be here" he said without looking at Farah and Eri

"I'm going home with Farah, our business isn't done yet bang, we need to talk." Eri took Farah's hand and passed away.

And until the death of his mother at that time, everything changed father did not care too much about him, Aunt Eri who wanted to bring Farah to live in Bogor was rejected by his father. Little Farah grew up with less affection but she still survives to this day.

Flashback Off

Farah was still riding with a feeling of dismay, she daydreamed to remember every event in the past. If his mother had not saved him, he would have been alive and dead.

"Mom, if only time could I repeat, let me die then rather than me living like this without you, huhuhu...." Farah was sobbing, her life was so heavy without a mother by her side.

At a crossroads Farah sped up and accidentally a car almost hit her. Farah lost his way and fell on the road with his bike.

" Cit.." The squeaking sound of the car stopped right in front of him. A young man got out of his car.
