Erkan had parked the car in a large Mall in the city of Jember. Erkan was seen letting out a long sigh after his ears were hot enough to hear Aylin's chattering that was so excited and enthusiastic going along also talking to Chessy along the way, now Erkan was relieved and only followed the two women in front of him safely because he was lazy to listen to the women's conversation.
"Kak .. really fun it turns out in Indonesia as well, anyway later if already in Turkey, I will take Kak Chessy for a walk as well. Certainly without him," said Aylin turning to Erkan.
"There is a walk and a honeymoon without you" said Erkan avenged Aylin's insinuation.
"Sister, look .. Erkan emang judges very if the same me. But Brother Chessy is calm, if he can be mean to Kak Chessy, say it with Mami. He's not gonna fuck around." Aylin was still cynical and occasionally turned to Erkan.
"Basic of the sniffler." Sahut Erkan was no less cynical.
"Udah .. don't fight. We eat yuk meatballs? In Turkey no one is sure to sell meatballs," said Chessy broke the debate between her husband and cousin.
"Huh? Eating again?" Erkan shook his head a few times and got a cynical look from Chessy and Aylin. "Yes yes .. hungry women." Erkan kept quiet and gave up.
"Hm. Yes there is Kak, there is also a shop that sells Indonesian food. The sales are also the average Indonesian, "Aylin replied now pampered to Chessy.
"Oh yeah? But I'm sure the meat's not as good here." Chessy Sahut.
"Yes anyway .. em Kak know, Er does not like spicy food, later we give sabel a lot in his meatballs huh? Let her have a stomachache, because she can't possibly ignore the food in front of her. So he must have eaten." Aylin.
"What are you boys talking about?" Erkan was suspicious of Aylin.
"Sstt .. can't do that, kasian." Answer Chessy. They finally ate meatballs together.
Chessy was really happy and happy with her new brother. Chessy is also very enthusiastic to enjoy the opportunity to walk after a full week messed with the national exam. No matter how many rides they have tried and whether or not how much food the two women have eaten, Erkan just obeyed all the will of the two even Erkan just according to him when asked to bring a bag of groceries, Erkan said, by Maghrib's time, they had gone home.
Erkan planned to stay at his grandmother's house that night, and Chessy agreed because the two had never stayed there after marriage. Chessy himself also understands that Erkan needs time with his grandmother because soon he will return to Turkey. Of course Chessy did not forget to tell Mamah and Papah not to worry.
Arriving at Grandma's house, Aylin and Chessy stopped her laughter before entering the house due to hearing the sound of crying from inside. The two looked at each other in astonishment and were still standing at the door waiting for Erkan to get off the car with the item they had bought at the Mall earlier.
"Why not go in?" Erkan asked astonished to see Chessy and Aylin dumbstruck at the door.
"There was a sound of crying" Chessy replied softly.
"Open up, you'll know who's crying, so it's hard." Erkan said casually.
"Totally, why are we bengong here, brother?" Aylin who hit his own soul lamented his folly. They finally entered after greeting.
"Sylia …?" Chessy's voice rose so surprised to see Sylia sitting on a wooden chair facing Grandma and Grandpa. Sylia herself was no less surprised to see Chessy and Erkan.
"Chessy?" Sylia said with a face that could not be described with words.
"Ches .. I want to talk to you. Please ... just a moment," Sylia cupped her hands together indicating that she was begging.
"Mas ... justin Sylia talk first." Said Chessy holding Erkan's hand.
"Gue let you say, but diem's there. Never touch Chessy even a strand of her hair." Erkan was still in front of Chessy to guard her.
"Ches, I want to apologize to you Ches. I want to kiss your feet Ches. I was wrong with you. I admit I'm mean to you, I'm wrong Ches, please excuse me …." Sylia rested in front of Erkan and Chessy, while Aylin and Grandma and Grandpa just quietly looked at the dramatic atmosphere. "Gue sinned envied the life of Lu Ches. I am evil .. I have done evil and now I am sorry. I'm broken now Ches .. I need forgiveness from you …. I'm sorry, I'm sorry .. I'm sorry Ches." Now Sylia is prostrating herself to ask for the forgiveness of Chessy and Erkan.
"Silvia …." Chessy breaks through Erkan's body to get to Sylia and grabs her shoulder and immediately wakes up Sylia who is prostrating. Chessy scooped up both of Sylia's cheeks and looked at her with pity. "I'm sorry about you, Syl. You don't have to apologize, I'm sorry you. Do not ask forgiveness from me, but ask forgiveness from God. You must repent earnestly. Get used to?" Chessy said softly and the helpless teardrops saw the wounds on parts of Sylia's body especially her face that was exposed to hard water the other day.
Erkan did not stay still and immediately grabbed Chessy's hand to immediately move away from Sylia. "Don't believe this woman, honey. Conscious Chessy ..conscious …. Don't be so good with him. You have to remember what he did in those days. Because of him you also lost Rara, Ches .. inget, do not immediately believe the words of a sinner." Erkan ignited emotions and even his speech style was very different from before. Erkan pulled Chessy and completely kept his distance from Sylia.
"Astaghfirullah, Mas. What you say is not the attitude of a Muslim. Sylia did make a lot of mistakes, but you have to take care of what you say." Chessy resuscitates Erkan who has almost lost control. "You sit down. Read istighfar .. remember not to let demons rule your emotions." Chessy forced Erkan to sit on the chair and that very second Chessy heard Erkan blurting out a sigh.
"Ono opo to Cah Ayu? Ono opo problem Iki?" Grandma spoke up to see the more dramatic atmosphere. Before continuing to speak, Chessy closed the door first to ensure the atmosphere was safe and no residents knew of Sylia's whereabouts for fear that something might happen to her again.
"The problem cannot be explained just like Mbah Uti. The problem is very complicated. Syl, let's get up. You're also sitting in a chair." Chessy leads Sylia to a chair and Ches sits by her side. "How did you get here? Last afternoon I saw you being stripped naked by the same citizen Devan . They said you'd be stoned." Chessy's words made grandmother, grandfather and Aylin so surprised.
"What's? Stoning off?" Compact three.
"Sylia Mbah. Sylia had indeed escaped from the rampage of the citizens and happened to meet Mbah in the garden earlier naked." Sylia is back. Chessy immediately took Sylia water to calm her mood and could go back to telling stories.
"Where did you escape?" Chessy was a loyal listener and a friend of Sylia.
"When they were discussing my exile with Brother Devan, I pretended to defecate. It just so happened that I had the chance to run like crazy. Finally I ran to the plantation and met Mbah Uti." Obviously Sylia doesn't make Erkan as sympathetic as Chessy. "Ches, help me. I beg you to help me. Hide me, I'm afraid, I don't want to go back to uncle's house and I don't want to be here because of course the people will know. Please Ches, I swear I'll spend as much of your life as I do if you want to help me." Sylia pleads with both hands cupped to her chest and tears.
"No way." Erkan opened his voice even with a high enough tone. "Ches, don't trust him Ches. Now he's beating up, he's trying, he's fighting our fate, and tomorrow he's stabbing you again Ches. Anyway I don't agree you let him. Let him be punished according to the punishment." Erkan also threw his face away after speaking tightly.
"Ches, I beg you. You're the only person who can help me Ches. I beg you this time. I promise, I swear I'll be your servant my whole life as long as I can get out of this sufferer. Please Ches, do you see how I look? Moreover, my face is Ches, who do you call me Ches? You're the only one who can Ches." Sylia was truly begging with a dramatic fullness.
"Mas, let's talk about this first, shall we?" Chessy looked at Erkan.
"No! I hate him so much. Don't expect anything." Erkan left and went into the room.
"Bah, saying! Is there another empty room for Sylia to rest? It's time to pray magrib, let Sylia rest in the room and we'll talk about this again later." Please Chessy to Grandma.
"One room is the same I did not pa-pa Kak, there is no room anymore because the other already made a warehouse." Aylin and Chessy nodded and escorted Sylia to the room followed by Aylin.
