FATE AND DESTINY
2. TEARS OF ALIKA

Today is the seventh day of alika's marriage to tajudin. But it has been a week alika status as a wife but still a virgin. I don't know what happens every night the two of them do not do a relationship like a husband and wife. Today tajudin will bring alika to his village in the city of banyumas central java. At first, Alika refused, but because she always advised him, she finally obeyed her husband's orders. All had gathered at Alika's house to take the bride taken by her husband. Who ushered in alika, among others, Om Firhan brother of zhali cousin ema. Right left neighbor. Anindia's sister from alika and fajri's husband Anindia who already has a car also helped drive alika. They were all on their way to the city of Banyumas. Ema did not know what to bring for the tajudin family there. But because of the meager cost of ema, a widow only relies on the mercy of her brother. I can still eat for you, I am so grateful. Only the house still looks luxurious.

"Mrs. What should I buy for the Tajudin family there? We didn't bring anything?" Ask ema who joined one car with nindia not one car with alika.

"I don't know mah either!" Reply to Nindia who is sitting in the front seat next to her husband.

"Do we bring basic necessities?" Ask someone who doesn't have much money.

"Yes, that's good too. Later the cost I add in order to be more complete." Nindia who understands her mother's finances.

"Well, shall we stop by the Market Shop? To buy everything!" Said ema while leaning in the passenger seat with her friend Eva.

Alika does not know the ema plan that brings souvenirs for the family of Tajudin because there is not one car with ema. Alika was silent during the car ride. He only occasionally answered questions from neighbors who came to one car with a simple smile.

"Mahs. We've reached the market." Nindia tells ema to come down.

"Yeah nin let's go down!" Tell Ema to open the car door.

Now they both shop at the grocery store. They shop among others. A kilo's up. Instant noodles one dus. Two-pack large laundry soap. Three kilo sand sugar. Tubruk tea and five pack teabag etc. Anindia who paid for everything used her own money without her husband's knowledge. And give a little money just to hold ema as long as there is no alika. Now they have returned to drive his car following a car that was boarded alika for fear of being left behind further. Fajri drives his car at high speed looking for a car that is riding alika in front. During the trip, Alika could not close her eyes. Her mind drifted thinking of how her life was without ema. Because only ema understands alika one hundred percent. Alika the spoiled but independent category of children. Alika just wants to be understood. Because it's natural that all women just want to be understood.

During the long journey they finally arrived at the village of Semedo in the city of banyumas. Semedo village is an uphill village and the streets are full of twists and turns with the ravine on its left right. If you want to go to the market must use an ojek to go down and go to the market must use public transportation. The cool atmosphere of the village is full of trees and terraced rice fields make the eyes feel cool. There are many beautiful locations to take pictures there. They were welcomed by the Tajudin family with a friendly. Starting from the typical food of the village of hawker and fruits have been presented neatly. Ema also handed over souvenirs in the form of basic necessities to the tajudin family. When everything is gathered, only tajudin and fajri are not in place. It turned out that the two of them went to the rice field with a location not far from the tajudin house.

"Mah! Where did tajudin go?" Ask alika who did not see the tajudin from the beginning he came.

"He said to go downstairs for a while with fajri!" Sahut ema who heard from one of the tajudin family.

"Oooh, I have!" Said alika resigned because he did not know the location around.

"Tajuddin! Don't trust Alika too much. She's a cunning and intelligent girl!" Fajri said brainwashing tajudin who did not really recognize alika.

"Why is it? She's my wife! I definitely have to trust him!" Tajudin who does not believe in Fajri.

"You don't know who he is yet! He worked hard to meet the needs of his mother. Alika is like an ATM running for her mother. Don't you ever give her too much money to your wife. So that he can't give his mother money." Fajri brainwashed tajudin into denouncing alika's name.

"Well my wife is like that? I don't think it's possible for him to be like that! And his mother is also kind not to put too much pressure on alika!" Tajudin replied as if he did not believe his mother-in-law who relied on money from alika.

"Prove my words! Not long your mother-in-law will definitely call alika to ask her son for money!" Fajri said with a defiant tone.

The two of them talked for a long time downstairs so as not to be heard by others. Fajri has a grudge against his wife's parents who do not approve of his relationship with Nindia. And fajri also did not accept the wedding alika celebrated with festive. But the marriage of himself and Nindia only held a thanksgiving only. That's the cost of the fajri itself. Not long after that day was already afternoon. Alika's family said goodbye to go home after delivering alika in her husband's village. Just the atmosphere of haru and the crying to part with alika. Ema did not expect alika to get a soul mate far from her city. They are all on their way home now. Only Alika remained at the tajudin house. Alika who had been told the room she would occupy with the tajudin just went into her room and remained silent in her room. When alika in the room there was a commotion outside.

"What-What-is-this! We've spent a lot of money to marry that city girl! Even our savings have also been drained out just to marry that city girl! Then what did they bring? They only carry basic necessities! This is not worth the cost we have already incurred! What is this basic for! If this is all we can still buy more than they give!" Shouted tajudin's father named Darun. His voice echoed throughout the room of his house and was heard by alika.

"Sir! Don't you mess this up! Alika's mother is a widow! Even the cost of our marriage was all brothers who donated. Because alika is the favorite child in the family.!" Tajudin defended his wife so that she would not be hated by her family.

"Can't be so dong! You know how much you spend to get the girl you like!" Shouted with breath going up and down.

"This has happened. They can only give as much as they can! You can't press them like this, sir!" Sahut Tajudin defended his wife whom he loved.

The commotion continues. Alika who was cleaning her clothes into the closet did not feel shed tears. Alika did not think that only the case of the tajudin family could be this angry. Alika doesn't know what to do. He did not dare to come out of the room afraid of being hit by a target. The atmosphere in the tajudin house is still very crowded because the tajudin brothers are all gathered in the house. They tried to calm his father who did not accept by giving from the alika family. Since then Darun the father-in-law never again want to consider alika as his son-in-law.
