The Story of the Mother of the Bodyguard
Mak Ijah

In the morning in the village of Sugihdadi, the sound of an announcement was heard in the village mosque, the sound spread throughout the village.

A woman in her fifties was cleaning the back garden of her house which was located at the end of the village.

"Assalamualaikum Mak Ijah, I want to pick up Mak because someone died Mak," said a man who appeared to be in a hurry.

"Wa'alaikumussalam le, indeed who died, sorry Mak did not hear the sound in the mosque because it is less clear," said Mak Ijah.

"Anu Mak, it's Maya's mother, please mak, I wait," Agus said in a panicked voice.

"Yes le yes, wait for Mak to change clothes first yes," Mak Ijah said in a soft voice.

The woman came back out with a polite appearance with a long headscarf delivered on the shoulder like Javanese women in general.

Not to forget he brought the usual bag containing all the equipment that might be needed to take care of the corpse.

"Let's go, but don't worry" said Mak Ijah who climbed into the seat of the legendary Honda motorcycle.

The motorcycle was headed to the house of Shohibul calamity which saw a yellow flag in pairs in front of the house.

When Ijah got off the motorcycle, all the residents immediately greeted the woman with respect.

"Mak," called one of the women who used to help Mak Ijah.

"Loh Nur, you have been here it turns out, have asked some relatives to prepare to bathe the corpse," said Mak Ijah.

"That's the problem" said Nur who immediately approached towards Nak Ijah and whispered something.

The look on Mak Ijah's face was changed and like a shocked person, "why did you say, O Allah call her brother's husband to help Mak,"

The woman rushed in and forbade everyone from approaching, it turned out that the woman's condition had turned blue with bulging eyes and a bulging mouth.

"Nur did you touch him?" ask Mak Ijah.

"No doubt Mak, I don't dare people Maya's mother's condition like this" said Nur who almost wanted to cry.

mr. Jono and Farid come, both of whom are the husband and sister of Maya's mother.

"Actually why can this be, and please if there is not finished completed, the love of the corpse and why can not be lifted from the bed," asked Mak Ijah.

"I have to start from where Mak, my wife is God." said Mr. Jono trembling.

Bu Maya can be known as a very good woman in the village by often lending money to the residents.

But what the residents do not know and understand, this woman has a fake foundation that she founded on behalf of orphans.

He raised funds and wealth from the foundation, even to convince donors.

The woman had a foster child of ten but no one was treated properly.

Everything was treated cruelly, Mr. Jono had reminded his wife but the woman did not want to hear it.

"Enough Mom, don't do this again, I know if this is wrong and then you can get a punishment from

Gusti Allah ma'am,ileng." said Mr. Jono who felt sad.

"Halah.. mr. This is what, as you can meet the needs of the mother, have not disturbed the business of the mother," said Bu Maya who left her husband just like that.

Mr. Jono could only slowly watch everything, but unexpectedly that afternoon all the orphans in the foundation were helped to escape by Farid.

Because they are often hungry and asked to work odd jobs.

"Based on the stupid guard, why can run," said Bu Maya on the two tiles that she asked to keep watch in that place.

"I'm sorry ma'am, it's not really my fault either, because they ran away to help the man wearing the Cepot Bu mask" said one of the men in pain.

"That's nonsense, you two are useless," angry Miss Maya who decided to leave.

But unexpectedly the stone also came out of the bodong's parlor, he fell a mango tree that collapsed suddenly.

And after that, Maya's condition was paralyzed and could not do anything more.

Until finally died in bed and although initially sad sakaratul death very difficult.

Mak Ijah could only nod and start reciting prayers and started to close Bu Maya's glaring eyes.

And then Mak Ijah also closed Bu Maya's mouth so as not to open the song, "close yes ma'am, let it look beautiful,"

Finally, the condition of Bu Maya's body can be a little better, "it has been made a closed corpse bath, and ask one of the families to help but make sure he does not reveal the disgrace of the corpse," mak Ijah.

"Yes Mak" answered Nur who found Bu Maya's biggest anaj was a girl.

Finally the body of Bu Maya was brought to the bathhouse for sacred right, but only also placed in a place that has been in the banana garden bed.

Suddenly the sound of a cow was so loud, Mak Ijah also immediately approached the two men.

"Please slow down" said Mak Ijah.

Finally, Mr. Jono waited and watched his wife in the bath, while Farid looking for another sister of Bu Maya.

"Pak if you want to touch and say goodbye to Monggo, before the corpse in wudhukan," said Mak Ijah.

Actually, when Mak Ijah poured soapy water, suddenly there were some maggots who fell.

But the old woman did not react and seemed silent, because it was not good to talk about such things.

Mr. Jono approached and gave his wife a final kiss, and whispered something.

After that, Ijah mengudhukan body slowly, and then three younger brothers from Bu Maya came to lift the body of the woman.

Now when it will be in the caravan too, Mak Ijah can only sigh because the shroud is shortened

"Nur how many times I have said, please do more than enough, Why not now even fit," said Mak Ijah.

"Loh Mak this is not Nur who was cut, but this is the shroud of the family of the corpse,"

"Oh Allah, please bring a new one because it is not good like this,"

"I'm sorry Mak, it seems like it's my fault, later let me change the shroud belonging to Mak," said Mr. Jono who was sitting watching his wife's body.

Because the man did not want to go far from Bu Maya, but suddenly a shout surprised everyone.

"Mother killed dad!! mom killed dad, mom drank milk mixed with white powder!!" shouted a ten-year-old child outside the house.

"What's wrong, why did Andi act again" said Mr. Jono who immediately approached his son.

Everyone does not think it because the boy has a nervous disorder so often considered a strange boy.

Finally the body was finished and immediately departed to the village tomb.

Mak Ijah and nur sighed because this heart is quite difficult to bathe a corpse, but somehow it has become the work of Mak Ijah who has been occupied for a long time.
