“ Please don't like this mas. It's already night, it's not nice to see “ with a whisper and a wail Ayu answered Azriel's hand.
“ Mas very muchlove you deck. I assure you that. For five years mas can only follow from far away, hoping that no other men will enter your life ” said Azriel.
“ Give me some time. I need time to rearrange my heart and for our family, have you thought about it ? ” lirih Ayu.
“ The family will support all the steps that lead to our happiness. I promise to convince your parents. I promise I will fight deck “ Azriel replied.
“ We'll talk tomorrow, it's night. Ayu drowsiness ” Ayu jerked when his hand was pulled Azriel, he was held tightly.
Azriel hugged Ayu tightly tonight.he was still reluctant to part, even though it was late at night. He really did express all the longings that he was craving. Inhaled, the scent of shampoo from Ayu's hair that was currently tied high, so that he was free to sniff. Ayu returned Azriel's embrace. He finally accepted Azriel's apology, and slightly opened up the space of his heart.
“ Tomorrow mas will go to Switzerland for a week, there is cooperation with publishers there. Mas hope to sleep peacefully there after hearing the contents of your heart tonight deck ” shrewd Azriel by closing her eyes in Ayu's arms.
“ I Love You Honey ” More Azriel.
“ Love You to ” Ayu answered by tightening her embrace. He could no longer lie to his heart. Pretty five years he's covered up and shied away from Azriel. A close hug ended their warmth tonight.
In the room, Azriel smiles smiling to herself, remembering a few minutes ago that she accepted her love. He closed his eyes still in disbelief. Trying to repeat today's events. His efforts to talk heart to heart in the dug, finally came to fruition. He was able to shake the heart of the lover who was officially held by Ayu. But there was still homework that Azriel had to decipher and the problem was their family. Azriel will start with what happened to Ayu's father. The accident that Ayu told me about was in the cave.
The Flashback
It appears a middle-aged man was arranging the parking of a motor vehicle by blowing a whistle. Hot weather and dust flying on the road did not dampen his spirit. He sat in a small chair while waiting for the motor to come. Calculated income today in the form of money pennies. His smile rose knowing the amount that was obtained today.
“ Tomorrow we can eat rice padang together nduk. You like to eat rice paddies ” he smiles considering his beloved daughter who is always missed in the city, high school. Princess pride and spirit of her life.
But his smile was gone when he saw the end of the parking lot, where he used to put the motor. The mainstay motorbike he used to scavenge fortune, became a motorcycle taxi driver when parking was quiet and waiting for parking to come, now no longer exists. A few days ago, the leasing party pulled the motor because he could not pay a deposit of several months.
“ Sorry yes nduk..motor that you gave lost. Later I buy again if you already have money ” unknowingly tears flowing on his cheeks that have been wrinkled and oily mixed with road dust.
Mr. Ayu, he is a figure who is now in the parking lot crying without anyone knowing because he closes with a romping hat that is always worn without change, because it is the only hat. He did not know that the motorbike he had was pulled leasing because it was someone who hated him so much.
“Mas it, motor have thugs village drawn wae mas. Wes how long do not pay deposit? Just pulled it. Believe me, it will not be paid even later it will be sold to a dark container. Wong's name is thug ya remain a thug. You will even risk it. Lost motor. Can't be pulled. Leasing loss ! ” a kyai sits on a chair while folding one leg, and gives an order to one of the leasing members whose boss is already familiar. While being spoken to, mangosteen mangosteen assies. Some months are not worth it. So according to the rules worth withdrawing the unit.
This afternoon Ayu was very happy, because he saw there were sandals of the father on the terrace. That means dad came. He misses very much. And surely he will get monthly money and book money that has been arrears for 3 months. Because I have no money. The money he made from the race and others he collected and he gave it to his father as a down payment to buy a motorcycle. He was very happy to be able to give his father money, even if only for a down payment to buy a motorbike credit. While the monthly deposit, the father who pays.
“ Why don't you bring a motor ? What bus did you take ? ” Ayu asked in heart. Now they are in a rice stall near kos. They're on foot. He said nothing about his bike.
“ Delicious nduk…? nambah. Dad has money. Eat a lot. To learn the spirit. Eating it every day is still the same rice omelet nduk ? ” I stroked Ayu's long hair with love.
“ Still sir. Money is enough for that. The important thing is Ayu can eat 3x yes sir. Could school. Already happy. Thank you sir. Already ngajak Ayu eat well every week ” replied Ayu while eating voraciously rice her favorite pasture. Actually he wanted to ask why the father's motorbike was not taken, and his father took the bus and public transportation here. It comes out a lot of money. But something's stuck. Ayu saw a look of sadness on the father's face. And he doesn't want his father to be sad. Let his father be comforted by his funny babble.
“ Uh sir. Yesterday I went to the same class teacher. He said my class rank can be lowered if you do not pay 3-volume English book money. But I'm not afraid sir. Class 1 was also once. I'm late paying the building money to go to school. It is said that later the value is reduced. But in fact Ayu still ranks 1. Rank 1 continues even up to third grade. Isn't it sir? So you do not need to be confused if you do not have money. Ayu's book money is paid next month only sir. I will not find another reason. Hand over all the same Ayu !” ayu babble deliberately he made to comfort the father.
“ He...he. You are the smartest when you talk. Don't like lying, you'll get caught. Just honest speaking. Dad doesn't have money. But now I want to take the money. I already have money. Lots of parking yesterday. Ojeknya also a day father can be many times between people. Enough money to pay for your book. So you do not need to lie again with the teacher nduk ” Mr. joking. He advised his son not to lie. But now he's lying. It had been a week he could not pull a motorcycle because the bike had been pulled leasing. Monthly money he used to deposit, he used it for tutoring money Ati. Which is now in 3rd grade Junior High. Lots of lessons and try outs followed. Mr. Ati wants to be the best graduate in order to enter a favorite High School like Ayu.
“ Waaah. It must be because of Ayu's prayer sir. Ayu every night prayer. In order to windfall mr buaaaaaaannnyyaaaaakkkk ” Ayu demonstrates a large circle forming a mountain. And his father laughed. It's great to have a princess like Ayu. Beautiful, smart, polite, diligent help parents, willing to be concerned and never demanding. Ayu hugged her father who was again sipping coffee from the side. He misses, even though his father smells of dust, street smoke, cigarettes and sometimes even the smell of alcohol, Ayu does not get tired of getting bored to hug his father. He always saw his father as a hero.
This week Mr. Ayu was very excited, he was very happy to get a new job. A new businessman from Jakarta who had just come to the village offered his father to collect eels in large numbers. The eel will be deposited to all rice restaurants in the provincial area. The businessman also assured of having a large restaurant in Jakarta. You have tried 1 month and he has made a good profit. More than parking and parking. You owe a lot to buy eels from farmers. He was drying the eel himself in front of the house. And hope this business will run long for the school fees of his children until college. He doesn't need to be a debt collector, parking, rickshaw and bus conductor out of town.
“ Nduk, bring here the dry eel in the room. Not drying it anymore to dry. Om Jok said if dry is more expensive “ Father asked Ati and Uma to help dry the eel that is stacked in the room.
“ Father of the eel a lot. This is buying from an expensive farmer, sir ? “ Ati from yesterday saw a lot of dry eels that were mounting in the room. And he thought his father must have spent a lot of capital to buy the eel.
“ Yes expensive, but will later return the capital. Even fortunate. Yesterday the first deposit of 500 thousand profit. It's good to send mbakmu kos. I bought a lot more. Tenfold. Yesterday's capital minjam-minh. If the count is like a deposit yesterday, we can profit up to 5 million more later. Want to father the tube for your entrance fee High School. Money building SMA in the expensive city nduk. Pray smoothly yes nduk. so that later you can visit to enter your lecture in the city. Listen, college costs a lot. So happy father can have this business ” smile their father explained to his second son, Ati. Ati who heard was silent. I don't know why there is a bad feeling every time you talk to Om jok who always comes home. Its sharp filling, made Ati's heart feel an unpleasant sign.
This afternoon there was a truck in front of Ayu's house. The truck will transport dry eels to the city. I was happy to see a big truck full of eels that he bought and looked for farmers in all corners. Even outside the village. He had already imagined the benefits to be gained.
“ Wow, this is a lot. You can profit many times this. It could be your rich man. No more riding a bicycle. You can buy a motorbike and even an old car. Cool you mas “ Om Jok patted the shoulder of Ayu. He's carrying a long shirt with shiny shoes.
A middle-aged man walks without direction. The man's eyes did not see the way.he was like hallucinating and his body was not managed. Shirt, messy hair and dark skin wrinkled. Judging from the way he walked, he seemed to have not eaten for days. That man is Ayu's father. It's been a while since he didn't come home. Not daring to go home because of the many threats to him and his family.
“ Piye ikiiii. My kids can go to school not this. it's all gone. My parking lot is on sale. Motor missing. I was fired from a cooperative that used to ask for debt, I had a lot of debt and my household was exhausted. My son hasn't paid for school. Lahhh. Never good. My children how to eat..” The man speaks for himself. Thought garbled. His hands were trembling without energy. The road is not straight to the right and to the left as you please.
Suddenly ….
BRAAAKKKK. JEDEEER'S. DUG
The man's body bounced up to 10 meters. A speeding car that crashed stopped for a moment.
“ Yi..this how.who was we hit yi. Take a look at yi. Poor is still alive what is not it. Astaghfirullloh..” Kyai Madun squeezes her hair. Shocked and confused because it hit something. And he's sure it's people. The atmosphere is still dawn. So deserted on the road there are no people or cars passing near the road of pematang rice fields.
“ Please don't. There's no one. Later we will have the same problem with all police. If you die, it all takes care of. Let it be yi. We don't even know if we're people or demons or animals. Still quiet at least yi” people said Kyai Parji.
“ Please just look at yi, please once. My feet cannot be moved. Gemeter this yi. Ask for help, if people are still alive we take them to the hospital. If our animals bury yi “ through Kyai Madun. The trembling and limp feet could not be moved. Kyai madun is still in shock. Kyai Parji down torture.
“ Sopo to iki..morning to Adzan dawn kok wander not to the mosque even in the rice fields!” seen the man who fell down. Kyai Parji looked at the head of the man covered in blood. The man who was hit hit hit a pile of building materials that will be used to build a village road in the rice field. His whole body was covered in blood.
“ Walaaahhhh. Rasakno. So that person is still alive do not destroy people's happiness. It's karma because you ruined my son's marriage through your son that you love. See my son is no longer Azriel's wife. Karmas. Go to hell you !!!” Kyai Parji kicked Ayu's father's leg lying down. There was no movement from Ayu. Just like a soft voice and fingers beating a little.
“ Turns out just a stray dog yi. Wes doesn't have to take care of it. Don't have to be buried either. Wong's name is a unclean yo-dog. We take care of her shit. Wes ayoo yi” kilah Kayi Parji.
“ Sure yi, it's animal ? not a yi guy ? nek animale belongs to the inhabitants how yi ? let's just take it to be buried or tomorrow the owner is looking for. We apologize yi and we take care of how well” Kyai Madun make sure.
“ Wong I saw with my own eyes kok yi. Let's go to the mosque. Selak adzan dawn. Meranggen villagers have been waiting for Kyai Madun tausiah ” persuaded Kyai Parji. Kyai Madun runs a slow car, with prayers and prayers. There was a disturbing feeling that he felt. Big mistake, no matter what.
