The Elbow of Life
everything is improving

ira and I woke up in the morning out of the room to my mother's room to see that my father had woken up first and helped my mother to walk into the living room I approached them sitting next to my mother

'' morning beautiful son''' father greet us both

'' morning Father answered me to my father

'' morning om'' replied Aira

'' morning is also my beautiful mother does mother still feel sick ? ask my mother

'' mommy is getting a little light, dear'' replied mom to me

we talked on this sunny morning while Dad made breakfast in the kitchen

' tok tok' the sound of the front door being knocked I went out to open the door and saw that father and mother came to visit

'' good morning Anna''

'' good morning om, Auntie, let's go in

Father and Mother Aira went straight in and sat down in the living room Mother Aira brought the cake from her house and opened the cake she brought to be moved to the plate and said to me

'' Please Anna take the plate''

I went to the kitchen and took the dishes and said to Dad that Father and Mother Aira came and brought the cake .

after Dad finished making breakfast he came up to us in your living room and invited us all to breakfast together

Father and Mother Aira could not refuse Dad's request

my father helped my mother to get into the kitchen and sit in a chair to eat together

'' wow it turns out Anna's father can cook too huh'' said Aira's father with a wry smile

' oh of course dong let's put it this way we as men can not continue to depend on the wife's cooking replied Dad

'' ah yes you Memeng is always right about whatever I always lose to you'' said Aira's father back

'' right, from the past until now I always win' replied Dad with a laugh

my father and Aira's father grew up in the same village and they have been friends from childhood like me and Aira

'' Father ''Call me'' Daddy like us like a child'' I said as I looked at Dad but father just looked at me with a cheerful laugh

'' yes, let's eat said the mother in a limp voice

we ate at the same table and enjoyed the potluck even though Dad ate while feeding my mother I was still happy because everything was gradually improving.

finished breakfast I Aira and her mother cleaned my kitchen and Aira who lifted dirty dishes and glasses to the dishwasher while Aira's mother washed it

after all we finished talking again in the living room while enjoying the cake under Aira's mother and the tea that has been prepared by Dad

how happy my heart is to see this simplicity even though I remain happy and pray that we will always be happy and healthy so that all will return to what it was

when the clock shows ten o'clock Father, mother, and Aira saying goodbye to go home

after a few days, my mother improved and I went back to school when the bell came home from school and the teacher said to me

'' Anna how is your mother doing ? can the teacher visit her ?''

'' the situation has started well, ma'am, of course you can visit her, I replied to the teacher

'' then the teacher came home with you ''

'' well ma'am '' well '

I went home with my teacher and Aira was on foot because Dad still couldn't drive me like he used to because he was still keeping Mom at home

when I got home I gave my regards

'' assalamualaikum''

and my father answered my greetings from home

'' waalaikumsalam''

I let the teacher come in and sit in the living room chair and come in to call Dad in the mother's room

Dad helped mom to walk out into the living room and sit her in a chair in the living room

'' good afternoon my mother said the teacher

' lunch is also the teacher' ' said the father with a smile greeting my teacher

'' how are you asking the teacher to my mother

' Thank God my teacher's mother can walk even if only limited inside the house because Anna's father still forbid me to leave the house''' while glancing at my mother's father smiling

while my mother and the teacher were talking, Dad went to the kitchen to get tea to serve to the teacher's mother and I went into the room to change clothes.

My teacher's mother is indeed very good whenever there is nothing against her students or her parents The teacher's mother will definitely come to her house to visit

I am grateful to have a good teacher and grateful to be in a good environment with good friends.

after some time the teacher's mother told the father and mother to go home

and I invited her and thanked her for coming to visit Anna's mother

after the mother was out of the hospital, the neighbors came to visit the house to visit the mother, because that's how the residents in this neighborhood

day by day the condition of the mother has improved Mother can do homework even though the father forbid it but the mother still did it said the mother if she did not practice to move then her recovery will be long my mother indeed the guy who is stubborn to the point with his stance yet he is very kind

I let whatever my mother wanted to do

Dad has started going to the fields again

before Dad left for the paddy field Dad would first clean the house so that mom does not do it that's my dad's way to maintain the health of mom

Mom just worked preparing breakfast on the table because before leaving Dad had cooked her

it just so happened that today was Sunday so Dad could go to the fields and fields early because I didn't go to school so there was me accompanying Mom at home

finished breakfast with mom I helped mom to lift the dirty dishes and together wash her after that we were in the guest room

I sat next to my mother, stomping her feet

'' tok tok'' the sound of the door on the tap

'' assalamualaikum''

'' waalaikumsalam'' I replied

''it looks like it is the voice of Aira Bu. I said to my mother

'' yes baby try to open the door'' mother ordered me

I walked to the door and opened it it was true Aira I let her in

' hi Anna' said Aira

' I came to take you outside to play with dolls' he said again

I entered while walking towards where mom was sitting and pulled Aira's hand to sit down as well

'' sorry Aira I can't play outside ''

'' why Anna ''

'' I have to accompany my mother at home''

'' if it's so okay'

'' how about we play dolls at home just take me to Aira

'' it's okay baby come out and play with your friends said mother

'' ma'am no Me and Aira can play at home '' answered my mother ''ayakan aira''

'' yes Aunt ''
