My dear mother

In a village filled with rice fields there is a family that lives harmoniously. They have two daughters named Ita and Mita.

"Our children are already big, ma'am," said Mr. Sutomo, the father of this middle-aged man worked as a farmer in the village they lived in.
"Yes, our son is already big", Sahut Hartati smiled at her husband.

Not unexpectedly Hartati Mr. Sutomo's wife was angry, he often scolded his own son with a loud tone and said harshly, because emotions were unstable due to the young marriage he had experienced making him unable to think so that he often scolded his two children.



"Ma'am, why do you always scold us?" Asked Mita
"I'm not angry, Dek. Mom, how come we love us!" Said Ita gently to her 6 year old sister and 2 years old.

In contrast to the nature of his wife Sutomo a loving husband. This man was never angry at all about the behavior of his wife who sometimes scolded him if he did not go to the fields. Because Sutomo realized that the wife he had married for 10 years was too young to be a wife and mother of their two children.

In the morning before going to the fields to help her husband Hartati must first take care of household needs, but all the housework was not her work but relied on the energy of her oldest daughter Ita.

"Ita !!! Ita !!! Where the child is called is not answered ", with an angry tone Hartati kept shouting to call her eldest child. After opening the emotion room Hartati peaked again because her oldest child was still sleeping soundly.
"He lazy boy makes it easy for you to sleep already at this hour, you don't wake up." Hurriedly working on all the homework snapped Hartati in a high tone.

Because he still felt sleepy Ita returned to sleep, until her mother came again and again scolded her.
"Did you not want to wake up? Do I want to water with water? You are not good looking for money, usually just asking for this, but lazy, stupid you !! Get up quickly !! "while grabbing his daughter's hair.
"Yes, Ma'am, I'm sorry," said Ita in a soft tone.
"Sorry you said? Sorry, just keep getting it !! Hurry up and work on all this homework, if I come home from the paddy field it's still not right, don't expect you to eat today! "Went walking to the fields.

Ita cried holding back Amarah in his heart, he said, "Your mother my angel you are my role model but why are you scolding me every day like this, if I am wrong you should give me advice and tell me well not by scolding and taking your insults, Mother I love you very much! "

Even though the mother scolded him every day Ita never felt a grudge against his mother, he could only cry holding back anger just because he knew how much Mother was angry with him because of his fault. Her little sister Mita was often scolded by her mother, because of naughty behavior that never listened to her mother's words.

It was afternoon when the people in the fields had returned one by one to their respective homes, as were Mr. Sutomo and his wife, Ita who was assisted by her sister Mita was busy in the kitchen cooking food for her mother and father so she did not hear her mother calling them in outside of

"Ita ... !! Mita ... !! Where is the Child "Feeling upset.
"Patience, Mom, maybe they are busy in the kitchen," Mr replied.
"This father always defends them, the children are insolent, every time they are called to answer, if I want to die, the two children must have seen my body again" replied Hartati in a high tone.
"Mother, God ... you are outrageous, just like your own child" Go to the kitchen.

Sure enough what Sutomo had in mind with his two children, they were indeed busy cooking food so they did not hear his mother's voice calling out.
"Son, (said Sutomo) out there, your mother from before calling you two". With a soft tone, Sutomo told his two children to come out because they were too tired Sutomo finally lay down in the bed near the kitchen.
"Good sir" The two children answered in unison.

Before approaching his mother, Ita advised his sister not to be upset if they were scolded by the mother. Because Ita did not want until her little sister put a grudge against her own mother.
"Deck, don't be upset if you scold us", stroking his sister with love.
"Yes Ma'am," while taking a smile.
In his heart, Ita said "he must be able to withstand all the anger that is in him, however, who scolded him is their own mother, a mother who has conceived and fought for his birth in the world. Yes, God expands my heart and my sister's heart so that there is not the slightest grudge against my mother ".

Arriving in front of Mother, Ita ventured to start the conversation with a tone of trembling because there was a feeling of fear.
"Mother ... sorry, we did not hear you calling before," said Ita.
"Yes, Mrs. Maafin Mita and Mbak Ita huh ..." said little.
"You two are very often if you call for a long time to answer" While picking up the ears of his two children.
"Your ears must be cleaned so that they are not deaf like this again, if only your mother had asked for help, you long to answer and even long to see what was happening to your mother, do you have the heart to see your mother die? Hah ... !!! "With a loud tone while shedding tears.
"Mother really loves you, my children, but this angry Mother's nature causes you to be subject to daily scolding," said Hartati in a soft voice.
Seeing Mother crying Ita and Mita quickly hugged her.
"Mother don't cry Ita knows how I love both of us, Mother scolded us not because we didn't love but because of our own behavior," said Ita while sobbing because she was crying too.
"Yes ma'am, right said Ma'am Ita Ibu don't cry anymore." Asked sikecil Mita.

The tense atmosphere had slowly changed into a mood of emotion, Hartati's emotions had disappeared, finally the three of them embraced and loved each other as usually a mother's attitude towards her children.
"Never mind my child, you do not grieve again, Mother is not angry and I want to apologize to you two, because you often get angry even pick you up like that." While hugging his two children again.

"Have you cooked before?" Asked Hartati to restore the original touching atmosphere.
"How come Ma'am let's eat together" Mita replied with her face as happy as she was already able to feel the real love from her.
"Come on ..." Said Ita and Hartati in unison.

Cheerfully the three of them entered the house to the kitchen to have lunch together.
"Father, let's wake up, we eat together" Said Hartati to her husband who was asleep on the bed near the kitchen.
"Yes, my dear wife," said Sutomo as he got up from his bed and smiled at his wife.

Finally they all enjoyed lunch which their two children had presented with gratitude.
In his heart, Ita said again, "O God, thank you for giving perfection in my life, I have a loving and patient father who has a loving mother, even though I am often angry with her. Because they are my father, I can be present in this world. Thank you too, O God, you have given me a cute and clever sister like Mita, O God, thank you very much for all this, I feel my life feels perfect because of the presence of them by my side ".

"Ladies and Gentlemen, hopefully you will be healthy, I and Adik are very loving and respectful for you two" Said Ita breaking the atmosphere of silence because the family was enjoying lunch.
"Yes, my son, you two are indeed everything for you and your father," replied Hartati while throwing a smile at her husband.

They live in harmony where the nature of their different fathers and mothers clearly tests their feelings, especially the angry nature of their mother, sometimes leaving emotions that are suffocating. But even so, not a bit of Ita and Mita held a grudge against the mother, because they knew her mother loved them both and if her mother was angry because of their own mistakes.
