Black Sign.
3 - Black Peci


"You still keep it?" tanyanya.


I could only be silent stiff, fingering the black peci that covered his head, while looking beautifully at his downcast face in embarrassment.


"Absolutely, did I throw it away?" my answer is trying to drive away the breath that arrived hit.


He smiled slightly as he turned his face away, as the afternoon sunlight hit him.


"Regardless of ajalah, do not use force" he said while smiling again.


"How have you been all this time?there is no good food, right?" tanyakanya.


"Many, why do you ask like that?" I'm astonished.


"I don't think there's any good food, I see you're still thin like that" he said with a crisp smile.


Well yeah...That smile is always playing in my eyes.


"Hmmm.." I took a deep breath.pressing the sudden wild heartbeat.


Laila.For five years since that moment, when you gave me this black peci, also the moment you got engaged.I've decided to go.leave the birthplace, leave the birthplace, the place where I grew up and grew up with loved ones.for what??


Just to forget your smile.


But I think I'm wrong.apparently a faraway place can never bury everything about you.


"Why are you just silent??"


Laila's question made me realize.


"If it's not so important, I'd better go home. it's not nice to see people.I'm not the old Laila anymore, I've become someone's wife" she said again with a friendly smile.


"Oh yes.sorry!" i'm ambush.


I looked at his face and as much as possible behaved naturally.


the void came back to my heart.


"I'm sorry if I interrupt your time, nothing more I just want to see you, maybe after this I'll try my hardest to get over you. Even if I know, it's the most annoying job for me." I said slowly spilling the wave of fatigue that had been languishing in the recesses of the soul.


"We are not a match, I am sure you can forget me" said Laila.


"I'm sorry mam.I don't have the fuss to upset you" he said.


I could only smile bitterly at his back which with quick steps passed.


After a week I felt the place where I grew up. After I found out Laila was engaged, while Laila could not do anything, just against the will of her parents. Then I decided to leave, and then I decided to go,wander to Jakarta to leave my village, a small village at the east end of the island of Madura.


I remember that afternoon. Laila wept.His beautiful eyes glittered with tears in tears.With the mita I met her behind a school.


the place was quiet because it was a bit far from the settlement.just morning until noon the place was crowded.on a long bench I sat together.


"Laila, are you engaged?"ask slowly.


He looked down, not answering.


"Laila.answer..!" I said again.the real question does not mean, because I am also sure about the truth of the story.


"Laila.honestly I love you.I love you.do you Laila.how happy I was when you accepted my feelings back then.."I stuck.trying to calm my own feelings.


"but why did this happen..."?i said again.


I lifted her chin, how her beautiful face was so wet with tears.


I couldn't see it. I wanted to hold her, put her head in my lap.


"Do you think I would dare to oppose my parents?"he said slowly stammered while looking at me.


"Yes.don't you.even I don't dare to face your father" I murmured.


And I don't know who started.at that time we hugged.I kissed your forehead.With mita, still busy with candy candy.


"Priest, I'm like you too, I can't possibly deny my own feelings.love, longing.but,." her voice was cut off.


I still hugged him.


and let him cry all over my lap.


and it turns out, time was so easy to throw away a grain of happiness that it left a black peci who still faithfully accompanied me. and became a witness that our hearts were once one in taste.


"Hi Imam.wah cool you now yes!" suddenly a voice snapped at my daydream.


"What are you doing here, mam??, Bengong is alone?"


I was really wrongly made. Hori and Fendi while grinning came to me.


"Ah just look at nature, my friend" I said, trying to laugh.


"Waduuh..see nature what see Laila,nih.." said Fendi while glancing at me.


I'm shocked..


is it possible that they found out about my whereabouts with Laila here.


"Eh, but I suspect, the reason is that we crossed paths with Laila on the road earlier, and the direction is also right from here!" said fendi slowly while pressing the index finger on her lips.


"Ah don't be silly so, I don't see who is here.lagain I also have no relation what is the same name Laila" I said began to get upset.


"Hahaha.semenjak migrated to Jakarta, home you turned into sentimental like this, mam!" said Hori while breaking her shoulders.


"Who said it" I said


"Ohya, where are you going?"ask me to divert the conversation.


"Why not..why talk about everything else!?"said Fendi again while glancing at me.


"Huh.don't look for because of me!" I said sewot.


"Hehehe.."fendi chuckles.


"We want the spaciousness of mam, watch football.again there is a friendship against the sub-district next door" said Fendi


"Let's go with mam!, instead of you bengong here, there is a sambet waiting here you.hahaha..!" said Hori who was still hahahihi from earlier.


"Come ah!"I said.


All the way my heart was worried, why..
