"Ibuku hanya punya satu mata Aku benci dia .... Dia begitu memalukan.
Dia memasak untuk murid dan guru untuk menopang keluarga. Pada suatu
hari saat di sekolah dasar, ibuku datang untuk menyapaku.
Aku sangat malu. Bagaimana dia bisa melakukan ini padaku?
Aku mengacuhkannya, membuang muka dan berlari keluar.
Keesokan harinya di sekolah salah seorang teman saya berkata, "Eeee, ibumu
hanya punya satu mata!"
Aku ingin mengubur diriku sendiri. Saya juga ingin ibuku menghilang.
Jadi
saya dihadapkan pada hari itu dan berkata, "Jika Anda hanya ingin aku
menjadi bahan tertawaan, kenapa kau tidak mati saja ?!!!"
Ibuku tidak menjawab ...
Aku
bahkan tidak berhenti untuk berpikir sejenak tentang apa yang saya
katakan, karena saya penuh dengan kemarahan. Aku tidak menyadari
perasaan-perasaannya. Aku ingin keluar dari rumah itu, dan tidak
berhubungan lagi dengannya.
Jadi aku tekun belajar, mendapat kesempatan untuk pergi ke Singapura untuk
belajar.
Kemudian, aku menikah. Aku membeli rumah sendiri. Aku mempunyai anak.Saya
senang dengan hidup saya, anak-anak dan kenyamanan.
Kemudian
suatu hari, ibu saya datang mengunjungi saya. Dia tidak melihat saya
beberapa tahun dan ia bahkan tidak bertemu cucu-cucunya. Ketika dia
berdiri di depan pintu, anak-anak saya tertawa padanya, dan aku
berteriak padanya karena datang tanpa diundang.
Aku berteriak padanya, "Beraninya kau datang ke rumahku dan menakut-nakuti
anak-anakku! PERGI DARI SINI! SEKARANG!"
Dan ibuku dengan tenang menjawab, "Oh, aku sangat menyesal. Aku mungkin salah
alamat," dan ia menghilang dari pandangan.
Suatu
hari, sepucuk surat undangan reuni sekolah datang ke rumah saya di
Singapura. Jadi aku berbohong pada istriku bahwa aku akan melakukan
perjalanan bisnis.
Setelah reuni, aku pergi ke gubuk tua hanya karena penasaran. Tetangga saya
mengatakan bahwa dia sudah meninggal.
Aku tidak menitikkan setetespun air mata. Mereka menyerahkan sepucuk surat
untukku. "
Surat Ibu:
Anakku
tersayang, aku memikirkanmu setiap waktu. Aku menyesal, bahwa Aku
datang ke Singapura dan menakuti anak-anakmu. Aku begitu senang ketika
mendengar engkau datang pada acara reuni. Tapi aku bahkan tidak dapat
keluar dari tempat tidur untuk melihatmu. Aku menyesal bahwa aku
membuatmu malu saat kau tumbuh dewasa.
Ingatkah, ketika kamu
mengalami kecelakaan saat masih sangat kecil dan kehilangan matamu?
Sebagai seorang ibu, aku tidak tahan melihat engkau akan tumbuh dengan
satu mata. Jadi aku memberikanmu milikku.
Aku sangat bangga
anakku dapat melihat seluruh dunia untukku, di tempatku, dengan mata
itu. Dengan cinta saya kepadamu, Ibu tidak pernah marah atas apa pun
yang kamu lakukan. Beberapa kali kamu marah padaku. Aku berpikir, 'itu
karena dia mencintaiaku. " Aku rindu saat-saat kau masih kecil, berada
di sekitar saya.
Aku sangat merindukanmu. Aku mencintaimu. Kamu adalah dunia bagi saya.
Duniaku hancur!!! Lalu aku menangis untuk orang yang memberikan aku
kehidupan... Ibuku...

"My
mom only had one eye. I hated her... she was such an embarrassment. She
cooked for students & teachers to support the family. There was
this one day during elementary school where my mom came to say hello to
me.
I was so embarrassed. How could she do this to me?
I ignored her, threw her a hateful look and ran out.
The next day at school one of my classmates said, "EEEE, your mom only has one
eye!"
I wanted to bury myself. I also wanted my mom to just disappear.
So I confronted her that day and said, " If you're only gonna make me a
laughing stock, why don't you just die?!!!"
My mom did not respond...
I
didn't even stop to think for a second about what I had said, because I
was full of anger. I was oblivious to her feelings. I wanted out of
that house, and have nothing to do with her.
So I studied real hard, got a chance to go to Singapore to study.
Then, I got married.
I bought a house of my own.
I had kids of my own.
I was happy with my life, my kids and the comforts
Then
one day, my mother came to visit me. She hadn't seen me in years and
she didn't even meet her grandchildren. When she stood by the door, my
children laughed at her, and I yelled at her for coming over uninvited.
I screamed at her, "How dare you come to my house and scare my children! GET
OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!"
And to this, my mother quietly answered, "Oh, I'm so sorry. I may have
gotten the wrong address," and she disappeared out of sight.
One
day, a letter regarding a school reunion came to my house in Singapore.
So I lied to my wife that I was going on a business trip.
After the reunion, I went to the old shack just out of curiosity. My neighbors
said that she died.
I did not shed a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to
have. "
Mom's Letter:
My
dearest son, I think of you all the time. I'm sorry that I came to
Singapore and scared your children. I was so glad when I heard you were
coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to
see you. I'm sorry that I was a constant embarrassment to you when you
were growing up.
You see, when you were very little, you got into
an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn't stand watching
you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine.
I was so
proud of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place,
with that eye. With my love to you,I was never upset at you for anything
you did. The couple times that you were angry with me. I thought to
myself, 'it's because he loves me.' I miss the times when you were still
young around me.
I miss you so much. I love you. You mean the world to me.
My world shattered!!!
