The Sky Never Had a Mother

Episode 1 : A Father’s Final Goodbye

In a quiet, remote village, there lived a father with two sons and two daughters, the youngest only five years old.

The father was a well-educated teacher, a man of knowledge and kindness.

They lived a simple life, yet their home was full of warmth and sweetness.

He loved all his children equally, without showing any favoritism.

As the years passed, things began to change.

The father fell ill and could no longer teach.

At the young age of 38, he was diagnosed with heart disease.

His once cheerful children now wore sorrow on their faces, especially his youngest daughter, who often cried silently, helplessly watching her father suffer, unable to do anything.

One day, the family ran out of food and had no idea where their next meal would come from.

Luckily, the father’s older sibling — his brother — would often help, bringing food for the family when they were struggling the most.

The third child, a daughter, was named Rosmawati, but everyone called her Rosma.

The youngest daughter was Darita, or simply Rita.

The eldest son was Mustofa, known as Tafa,

and the second son was named Ungso, called the same — Ungso.

Two years went by, filled with pain and uncertainty.

Eventually, the father’s body could no longer endure the illness.

At just 40 years old, still considered a young age, he passed away — leaving his children behind with a broken heart and a memory of unconditional love.
