Sincerity of Love JONATHAN
143. Let one family cry
A few minutes rubbing the wind oil, finally Abi Hamdan siuman. He opened his eyes slowly, then looked at the worried face of his wife looking at him.
"Well, is it okay? Is anyone sick?" Umi Maryam immediately cupped her husband's cheeks, looking at him fixedly.
"Drink first, Ustad." Ustad Jonah held out a bottle of mineral water towards Abi Hamdan, whom he had already uncapped.
Mr. RT and the others helped Abi Hamdan to sit down, then the man downed the water.
"Tell me, Umi" Abi Hamdan replied with a sigh. Then he covered the rest of the water on his lips.
"Cock can faint? Fainting time is no cause." Umi Maryam looked astonished.
"Abi was just shocked, the same price of 6 camels. So much as it seems. Abi kira .. The price of camels is not that expensive, Umi."
"Yes, Umi was shocked too." Umi Maryam nodded her head. "Joe should buy one tail is enough, yes, Bi, Umi is worried that his wallet is broken."
"Yes, Abi was worried too. But Abi's gonna miss Jojon, yeah, Mi."
"Why miss Joe? He's in Korea with Syifa."
"Yes, but yesterday he said he wanted to join the Hajj Eid, Mi. Robert also talked about wanting to eat camel meat together on his feast day .. but how come they have not come home, huh? What's in Korea?"
"Try Abi call Syifa or Joe later. But just ask for news, do not ask when to go home. I'm afraid they're having fun there. So don't be disturbed."
"Come on the phone now." Abi Hamdan reached into the pocket of his drawstring pants behind a holster, then tried to call Joe.

"Father! We're totally outmatched, Pa!" Ms. Hajah Dijah rushed into her house, then approached her husband who was sitting on the living room sofa. Playing online slots on his phone.
"How competitive are you, Ma?" Mr. Haji Samsul glanced at his wife for a moment, who was now sitting next to him.
"DiRT next door, it's a real shock, Pa!"
"Crackle what?"
"There were 6 camels sacrificed, which were bought from the Arabs."
"WHAT?!" Pak Haji Samsul was surprised with bulging eyes. He also ended his game. Then pocket his phone into the bag of material pants that he is currently wearing. "Who? Who can rival us who sacrifice cows, Ma?"
"You hear from Arisan mothers, he said Ustad Hamdan, Pa."
"No way ah." Haji Samsul shook his head in disbelief. "Poor men like him where can camel sacrifice? Last year was just a goat, that's why he rarely sacrificed every year."
"The Jojon? That brash guy?" Mr. Haji Samsul was seen groaning, recalling the man. The man who made his son go in the foam.
"Yes." Yeah." Bu Hajah Dijah nodded. "Well, we just cancel the cow sacrifice, Pa, we change the camel. When we lost competitiveness as the ex-Ustad who converted? We're the hajj family."
"Where can it be. The hajj lebaran will be tomorrow, Ma." Haji Samsul seemed to disagree. It is not a matter of money to buy it, but if in a tight state it is very difficult to find sacrificial animals. Especially a camel that is rarely in Indonesia.
"But Mama's shy, Pa, same neighbors and moms complex."
"Are they talking about Mama?"
"No direct talk to Mama, but fitting arisan gathering ... Mama Denger they all talked Ustad Hamdan. He said he was lucky to have a son-in-law Jojon, so it was not wrong to choose because he used to reject his proposal Fahmi. That's how they discussed the problem of Fahmi being put in prison because of Jojon again. Mama's face feels like it's taken away, tau, Pa! Overall and shame!" Bu Hajah Sejah looks anxious on his own with both hands firmly clenched. His chest went up and down because of his burning emotions.
"Mama diem, did they say that? It should be against dong!" Mr. Haji Samsul was also anxious and equally clenched both hands.
If anyone insulted his family what else Fahmi, he who would intervene came on the front guard.
"Your mother is against. But they are not diem, but even nyerocoh added. Even nambah muji-muji the Jojon who is said to be handsome and not arrogant. It's getting sprained!"
"Papa want to see the camels first, want mastiin." Mr. Haji Samsul stood up from his seat, then stepped out of the house without saying his greetings.
Seeing that, Bu Hajah Dijah also immediately ran after. Then get in the car when the husband has entered first there.
"If later Papa has seen the camel .. continue Papa want to do what?"
"What do I do, what?" ask Pak Haji Samsul who looks clueless. He's already driving his car.
The distance between his house and Abi Hamdan's house is close. Only one RT. But it is mandatory for him to ride in a car, so that his wife is not lost to become a rich man.
"Well, when Papa was born, knowing Ustad Hamdan the sacrifice of camels? Surely the mothers who get camel meat more rampant flattering him, Pa. The more we look there is no self-worth."
"Yes too, anyway." Haji Samsul nodded, agreeing with his wife's opinion.
Honestly, during Fahmi's imprisonment, his friends like to stay away from him. But fortunately no one ever commented on Fahmi that until heard into his ear.
"Keep, how are we supposed to, Ma? What was Mama's idea?" added Mr. Haji Samsul who asked for an opinion.
"Toxin the camels, Pa. Let one family cry because it doesn't sacrifice." An evil idea immediately Bu Hajah Sejah uttered, smiling with a grin. He won't let that one family be flattered by people.
...Can not be evil, will get its own stone 🤣...
...----------------...
Reminds me that this story is fiction. But in the real world there are many like the family of Pak Haji Samsul. So here the author has no intention to allude to his title that has become a hajj. Because back again, all men are places of sin. There are no good people, there are bad people.
Afraid there is a misunderstanding again rich yesterday~
