The Tarnished Pearl

The Tarnished Pearl
Go to mama's funeral


Pearl continued to run and run as far as possible, she did not care about the pain in her feet because it did not use footwear at all. Even the cries of papa who kept asking her to stop.


"Sadduuuh.this is very sakiiit."


Suddenly he felt a cramp in his stomach that was very, very, but Pearl was still trying to stop the vehicle that passed in front of him with a face covered in sweat and breath that was gnawing.


"Why deck?"


"Sir please, I'm being chased" said Pearl trying to control her breathing which was still hunting, seeing the honest expression that emanated from the eyes of the girl who was grimacing in pain, the driver immediately asked him to come in.


"Well, deck. I'll help and protect you." replied the driver.


"Thank you sir."


Pearl sat next to the driver while breathing a sigh of relief, at least for now he can dodge and save the baby in his stomach. Occasionally Pearl turned his head back, hoping papa did not catch up with him.


"Where do you want the deck, and who's been chasing you?" ask the driver to wonder.


"My own father, for a while please take me to the public funeral."


"Cemetery?"


"Yes, I want to complain all my suffering to mama hick..." The pearl again rebuked, unconsciously she told me a little about her problems.


At first glance the driver immediately thought, if Pearl was in a deep depression.he understood the condition of the girl who he thought was still very unstable.


Along the way, Pearl dissolved in his mind, so he did not realize that the car that delivered him was already in front of the entrance gate of a public cemetery.


"Sir, we've arrived. Is this really your mother's burial place ?"


"True sir, sorry sir I don't have the money." said Pearl confused.


"No need to deck, I sincerely help you." replied the driver passed away.


"Thank you again, sir."


After the car passed in front of him, Mutia immediately went inside. she was used to visiting the house to this cemetery if she was sad.


Pearls immediately gathered together menagis while hugging a tombstone bearing the name of the beloved mother.


"Mama...your son is not strong anymore, I want to join my mother.my life is ruined and my honor is taken away, papa forced to abort my womb. I don't want to add to and sin anymore, these babies are innocent ma. I'm the one who deserves the punishment not them." Pearls kept coming back longer until he woke up when he heard the sound of the chanting of the Adhan, for the call of prayer.


"O Allah, only to you will I complain of all my sufferings, give the servant the best way out." said the Pearl as she rose to the nearest musholla.


After praying and praying, Pearl felt a sense of tranquility.


"To save my children, I have to go as far as possible.to be in a place where no one will recognize and scorn my life later." bathin Pearl was a little relieved.


"I'll go home and ask Papa for permission, if I'm going to move out and live alone outside the city, so they don't have to bear the shame of my pregnancy, papa would agree that mama Dian and Angela would also be happy to be able to live quietly after my departure from my mother's own house."
