"Are you ready yet, Rum?" the king shouted from the front porch of the house. But there's no word from someone he just called.
The king looks very neat by wearing a short-sleeved cocoa dress in black and white plain gloves. As planned, tonight he and his sister will study at Sania's house.
The King's heart is actually currently very troubled. Because he knew that tonight at the house Sania will be the arrival of an important guest whose purpose is very special. The King's heart grew more restless when Sania told him that the woman was also confused because this concerned the good relationship between Abah Mudin and the guest who was none other than Kyai Bahar.
Not denied, the King is also actually very eager to ask ta'arufan with with Sania. But the man was self-conscious, how much Sania's attitude was like building a high wall in his heart. Moreover, the King had done something that fostered hatred in Sania's heart, so that he was increasingly not brave if he was straight about his feelings.
"Rumi!" shouted the King loudly.
"Yes, yes" said the sister as she walked quickly to the door.
"Very long," King and Rumi murmured only his smile.
"Mom, we go first" said the King to the mother who was also sitting on the terrace seat.
"Yes, good at learning. Greetings to Abah Mudin and Umi Sarah, Ja" said the mother.
The king nodded and after saying his greetings, they rushed towards the matic motor that Rumi used to use. A moment later the motor drove through the streets.
It did not take long, now the motor driven by the King has arrived in the courtyard of Sania's house. Seen there Abah Mudin was sitting casually with one hand holding a prayer bracelet.
"Assalamu'alaikum, Bah." greet the King and Rumi as soon as their feet step on the terrace towards Abah Mudin.
"Wa'alaikum greetings, sit Ja, Rum," replied Abah.
"Where are the Sanianas, Bah?" ask Rumi.
"Oh, can I come in, Bah? Rather than bengong here, mending will help help," Pinta Rumi.
"Yes, just come in. Let the King here be with Abah until Maghrib,"
Rumi quickly nodded and rushed into Abah Mudin's house.
Sure enough, in the kitchen room Sania and Umi Sarah were busy preparing some food. So focused, the mother and child were a little surprised when Rumi said hello. Umi and Sania also simultaneously return Rumi's greetings and throw some questions about his arrival.
"Can I help you, Umi?" rumi asked while looking at Sania who was frying a banana.
"Well done, Rum. Just cook a little," replied Umi.
Rumi is also a mangosteen. He already knew from the sister, that tonight there would be a guest at Sania's house. Actually, he felt concerned and did not have the time when the brother said that tonight Sania would be betrothed. As a sister and as a girl, Rumi knew very well the feelings of the King in the woman who was busy frying it. Rumi wanted to help but she was confused as to what kind of help she would give.
On the porch of the house, the King also looked seriously was chatting with Abah Mudin. Many things they talked about, including the advice Abah had given to the young man in front of her. So excited they chatted, did not feel adzan maghrib was heard reverberating. Abah invited the King in and they prayed together at Abah Mudin's house.
After finishing the prayer, Raja and Rumi returned to study with Sania. They looked serious until a few minutes later, they heard someone say hello from the main door. Want to not learn to teach them also stopped. They know who the guests are. Sania rushed to the living room. And Raja and Rumi followed him.
Seen in the living room, three people they knew were already sitting with Abah and Umi. Seen from the gaze of the two men among the three guests were staring intently at the King and Sania were. I don't know what they're thinking. What is certain is that at this time the King's heart is increasingly agitated to be in this state.
"O Lord, may what I fear, tonight not happen, I beg the Lord," the inner King prayed.
