Episode 46: Removing Wounds and Lifting Dignity
Not only the kenduri blessing that became the staple of the wedding ceremony, the safety of Raswin family, along with the Fina thanksgiving family who will move to Jakarta, Jakarta, because a one-sack rice contains twenty-five kilo grams, one dus of instant noodles, two kilo grams of eggs, complete with soy sauce and bottle sauce, it was also given to each family head who came to the ceremony at Fina's house.
A truck carrying all the groceries had just left Fina's courtyard. While on the terrace of the house Fina who was not so spacious, sacks of rice piled neatly filled there. And the instant noodle dus-dus that there were a hundred, also filled the living room. Not yet the eggs following soy sauce and sauce are stacked next to it. Rina and Pure who had just come out from inside the house, stared at that crazy reality.
Sembako in a fairly fantastic amount was deliberately Rafael prepared. Not only part of the thanksgiving or the salutation, but part of the evidence, that the relationship between Fina and Raphael did exist. So that Fina and family are not constantly looked at one eye let alone until they are humbled again.
Rina and Pure until the drums saw all that.
“Mas Rafael really, yes, Mom? No responsibility if you want to do something?” lirih Rina's.
Pure who until stroked his chest using both hands, so unreliable by the decision of the son-in-law, gradually nodded. “Mas Rafael must have been angry with the people here, so he arrived to share this sembako for free.”
Up ahead there, looks Fina and Rafael who are still deliberating. The two faced each other, while Otoy and Didin were unceasingly awake around the two with a distance of about three meters.
“There are not a hundred heads of families, you know. Did I also give the amount data?” said Fina who was still sweating despite her back hair was already a high midget.
“Fin, one's degree will be more viewed when we also provide proof. One more thing, if you want love, do not have to bear. Later will definitely make more sustenance ngalir.” Rafael reassured before finally deciding to observe the atmosphere around.
Fina's house is in a village that is not so beautiful because the heat there almost beat the heat in Jakarta. As for the water, both PAM and irrigation there have not gone well. To the extent, many residents around still use wells, or even ponds and dams around the house that are often residents call blumbang.
With both hands back on the side of the pants pocket since the departure of the sembako transport truck, because earlier, Rafael also lifted sembako even though it was limited to instant noodle dus following the egg, the man said, saying, “your impression is black. The atmosphere here is like this very.”
Fina reflexively frowned following her lips before her gaze looked seriously at Rafael's face. The man wasn't so serious, there was a hint of a jaily smile that drew both corners of his filled lips.
“If you're here a little long, a week, only. Surely you too will be blacker than me even the people here. Tuh, look, ... Your face alone is striped,” sneer Fina.
As long as Fina retorted, Rafael became a smile of his own. The smile that made the man look even more disheveled in the middle of reality that did not look at Fina even just glancing. Because Raphael was so busy observing around or even deliberately busying himself?
“It's okay if I'm black. After all, from the first my ambitions also want to have black skin,” replied Rafael with his leisure.
“Thank you, Raf. What a joke dalem!” reply Fina who immediately shuddered in horror.
Fina hurried to leave Rafael, if only, Rafael did not suddenly hold a hand.
“What else?” fina complained that she turned her head and made her look at Rafael.
Fina found the look on Rafael's face that seemed to be holding amused even afraid. The man looked ahead carry it. And when Fina ascertained what was stealing her husband's attention, it turned out that there was a shovel of lizards crawling closer.
“Nih people are afraid of lizards? Hahaha!” inner Fina who became busy was holding back laughter. And for the sake of trying and reciprocating the husband, Fina actually pushed the man with all her might.
“Fi-fina, ticklish!” rafael screams that second as well and immediately holds back one hand of Fina who almost escaped.
Rafael decided to enter the house to avoid lizards that make him ticklish and horrified. Not to forget, in order to be completely spared, he also closed the door, in the midst of reality that is still afraid. And out there, Otoy and Didin are still busy holding back laughter. Laughter that broke out by itself because of their boss' fear of lizards.
“Same lizard alone scared?” fina said softly while staring inexhaustibly Rafael thought.
Rafael again shuddered in horror and hurriedly turned Fina's body to back him. He led the woman to sit on one of the sofas there, before finally, he also sat on a different sofa.
When Rafael seemed to dampen his fear while sighing softly and occasionally glancing at Fina who was still busy with smiles, apart from Fina who was unceasingly dismissing Rafael's gaze, he looked back, from the outside it sounded crying roaring and very loud.
The cry accompanied by the sound of the motorbike successfully disturbed the togetherness of Rafael and Fina even everyone. Without exception those who are fretting or helping to cook in the kitchen Fina.
Funa and Rafael move compactly and both make sure through the window next to the door that Fina initially behind. The two who stood in front of the window, a small laughing reflex, when they found Ipul as a troublemaker from crying roaring.
“Yes, Pul ... Pul ... kirain really there is death, you until cry so like a barren cat who wants to mate!”
“Bikin geger only, you are this!”
“Iya, .. don't cry like that, why? There are many old ones here. Our hearts are so sad! It's heart to dagdigdug like to be dislodged!”
The pulse that stopped the motorbike whose bed was still piggybacking on the goat bed, in the front yard of Fina's house, immediately became the months of mothers who were initially helping cook for thanksgiving at Fina's house.
“Pul ... Pul, when did you heal him? Poor you. Look, tuh, ... Fina actually married a rich man. So rich, actually. Nih, the rice sacks will be distributed to every one who comes to Thanksgiving later. Hayo, what do you want again?”
“Yes, what else do you want? All the news you've been spreading all this time, lies, right?”
“Iya! Even you also had time to say, Fina woman is not right and is pregnant with your child! Huh basic is not clear, you Pul!”
“Pantes only you until prison. Your people just like that, yes Fina's husband does not accept!”
“Ya already, yuk, mothers, we continue to cook so quickly settle.”
When the mothers who judged Ipul while pointing at the face of Ipul with a knife, the centong, as well as the spatula they held, gradually dispersed, returning to the back of the house Fina, through the side door, passed by, that makes Otoy and Didin curious, not Ipul who is silent reflex. Except the goat in the bed that continues to be closed but also to the point of blood.
But for the sake of looking safe, Otoy and Didin who got to hold the nose and mouth very tightly, chose to follow the mothers. Because they were afraid, the iul that*** was just a crazy recess, suddenly raging at them.
All the judgments against Ipul also made Fina and Rafael sad. Even Fina who returned felt very sick from remembering all the wounds in her past, to tears.
“If I wasn't in your life, what would you do to get everything done? Removing wounds and lifting dignity, is not an easy matter, right?” rafael said without looking at Fina who was standing right in front of him. But Rafael realized, the woman had reached tears.
Rafael's question made the pain that Fina felt become many times over. Fina to feel very crowded, even she also became a binge. And without answering, Fina turned back, making her face Rafael.
While sobbing, Fina gradually tightened her body on the body field before her. He clenched the body very tightly without being able to speak. Only God knows how much Fina is so grateful to Raphael. How Fina felt so indebted to that man. Even because of it, ... Fina to the point of not knowing, how to repay all the kindness of Rafael who had tried to remove the following wounds raised the dignity of Fina and her family.
“Fina's hug suddenly like this, why am I so tense, huh?” rafael clasped his back and Fina's head.
“Cry if it makes you more relieved. But after this, you should not cry again,” whispered Rafael who then landed a kiss on the top of Fina's head.
Rafael who accidentally saw Ipul, apparently observing his togetherness and Fina, deliberately increasingly routinely kissed Fina's head.
***
What Rafael did successfully made the sadness of Ipul even more so. The back-crying pulse thrashed, immediately turning on the engine motor. The man drove the bike at full speed, in the middle of the road atmosphere there which is still steep. But shortly after, the cheers of the children sounded so boisterous.
The cheers were heard mocking Ipul which in fact up to the mental of the motor and then into the dam containing dumbo catfish, owned by residents.
“Ya Alloh, Pul .. Why did you get in there? Duh ... die all my pet dumbo catfish!” said a man as the owner of the dam who immediately ran fast from inside the house. “Quickly exit! Later on my catfish on dead!”
While washing his face, Ipul said, “ya gosh, Uwa .. instead of worrying to me, even to catfish! Tuh, right, I was bitten by the catfish.”
“Not likely. The one with my cat got poisoned because of your bite! Quickly exit, no!” threaten the man who reached thrust the stick so that Ipul immediately moved from the pool that is in the chest of the deckil man.
“Apes really me this ... just watch out you Kafur .. wait for my revenge!” inner Ipul while pulling over and out of the catfish pond.
“If my release until someone dies, you have to compensate, you know, Pul!”
“Tai, lah .. indemnity indemnity ...”
“Hus! Kid's bloated! By the way parents are even *** ... ***!”
The Ipul really does not care about the reprimand of the owner of the dam. It was only when a catfish that was stuck on his shirt, fell and then stepped on, that reflexes screamed in pain while jumping up and lifting one of his legs. Feet that stepped on the catfish, but the patil to the soles of the feet of Ipul.
“Hahaha .. guramin! Kapok!” exclaim the owner of the dam with his arid.
“Uwa ... I sent you to the police, yes!” threaten Ipul while grinning in pain.
Once again, the children who had been cheering on Ipul and had been playing marbles in the courtyard of the next house, returned to arrive while running. Those who numbered more than seven people again cheered Ipul.
“Semprul well, you guys!”
“Hahaha .. hence the shower! Let's not shower with catfish!”
Ipul tried to chase after the boys. But what power, they actually pelted Ipul with marbles, without stopping.
“Bue ... Pae .. help me!” the cry of the Ipul broke apart, as the man who had huddled in the steep streets because of the defeat of the war.
