LOVE BLOWS FROM REUNION
Episode 179: FEAR

    Prayer delivery for the late Hamdan has reached the seventh night. Last day of prayer together at Rini's house. Neighbors and relatives all prayed together. Rini's big house is pretty crowded. Starting from the living room filled with brothers from the Rini and Hamdan families, it was already full. The living room is full too. The terrace is also crowded. Even in the tent set up in the yard is also full of guests who pray together. The seventh night, usually all come to send prayers.

    Mak Mun in the kitchen is assisted by the Rini brothers, preparing dishes. Have been cooking various types of snacks since this afternoon. Of course to entertain and as a treat for guests. While in the garage to the terrace next to the kitchen, there are already catering people who prepare a large meal for guests. Yes, Rini ordered satay and goat gulai, to the caterer. Two male goats. The first purpose is to be with her husband, while the other goal is to be a seven-day celebration of Hamdan's death, so that with this salvation the sins of Hamdan are forgiven by God. In the custom of the Rini and Hamdan families, one form of petition for forgiveness of all sins and mistakes, then in addition to offering prayers must also offer sacrifices. As on the seven-day anniversary of Hamdan's death, in addition to climbing prayers, Rini's family also cut goats. At least, that was the thanksgiving and prayerful plea for the remission of sins that her husband had committed. After the climbing of the prayers is completed, the guests eat with the menu that has been provided by the Rini family.

    Rini sat in the living room with her brothers. Silvy was there. Rini wore a white robe and a white hood. With those white clothes, Rini looked more graceful, prettier and younger. There was an aura brighter than before. Likewise Silvy, who also wore a white-warranted robe and a long pasmina-like veil, which was covered with hair, then the rest was looped around the neck. Silvy looks beautiful too. The child and mother who sat side by side, looked equally beautiful.

    Several times Yayan, Silvy's husband, took photos of the event sending prayers using his HP. Not spared from the snap of Yayan, of course the mother-in-law and his wife. Yayan himself wore a white cocoa shirt and peci was also white. Then Yayan sat down with a group of men in the front. Starting from the living room to the terrace and home page.

    The reading of the scriptures flowed like the rhythm of a verse that pierced the heart. Everyone present at the house of Rini, incites the incantation of the holy verses, which are believed to be heard by the Most Merciful, to grant forgiveness to the one who is prayed for. The echoes of prayer memorization continued to reverberate, shaking the walls of the house, which seemed to say that man was only a weak creature who could not do anything, and only to Him alone man asked for help and forgiveness.

    Until the night, the prayers were prayed. And finally, the people finished reading the scriptures, the books of all books. And furthermore, as medicine reached, they enjoyed the dishes and ate together while chatting.

    Rini was able to accept the reality of fate that must be experienced. That is the loss of a husband, which has been the backbone of all the needs and fulfillment of household life. That is the life to be lived. Of course he began to think about how later to take care of his household.

    After Hamdan's brother and Rini's relatives return home, Rini's house becomes deserted. Moreover, Silvy and Yayan also left for work. The house is completely deserted. Not like before, when her husband was around. Although her husband goes to work, Rini is also just with Mak Mun who is busy in the kitchen, as well as Mang Udel who is busy in the garden, but the atmosphere of her home is still a crowd. However, a week after the death of her husband, after his brother returned to their respective homes, after in his house there was no one else, Rini's house was completely deserted. No jokes, no laughter. Rini's house was completely quiet.

    There was another taste in Rini's heart. Especially every time I go into her room. The room bears silent witness to the events that destroyed his family. The incident that killed her husband. It was not easy for Rini to enter her own room. There was a sense of tightness in his chest, every time he saw his bed mattress. Yach .... The bed no longer belongs to him. The bed was already stained by the bastard. And finally, Rini did not want to sleep in her own room. He chose to move to sleep in the front room, which is usually used if there are guests.

    "Mr Mun ...!" Rini calls her maid, who is now considered a friend at her house.

    "Yes, Mommy .... What's up, Mommy?" asked Mak Mun who was interested in meeting his master in the family room.

    "Mak Mun don't be far from me, yeah .... I'm afraid, Mak Mun ..." Rini told Mak Mun.

    "Halah .., it's okay, Mother .... Don't be afraid. Later if the female actor comes here again, I will expel" said Mak Mun who is a brave ass.

    "Not that, Mak Mun .... I just feel uncomfortable every time I enter the room" Rini explained.

    "Ah, Mother .... Nothing, Mother .... It was just a hallucination .... Hehe ..." said the pretentious Mak Mun.

    "Not that, Mak Mun .... Not a ghost or a memoirs .... But my feelings every time I entered the room, as if I witnessed the incident of the quarrel of the Father with the woman, Mak Mun .... I get irritated, so emotional, want to be angry .... I see, Mak Mun ..." explained Rini to her maid.

    "Ooo .... I guess .... Yes, I slept in the front room. Let's not be emotional .... Hehe ..." - Mak Mun.

    "Yes, Mak Mun .... I just want to sleep in the outside room. Closer to the living room and family room. Let's not be lonely, Mak Mun .." said Rini.

    "God, Mommy .... Let's not be lonely on TV .... Or karaokean .... Hehe ..." proposed Mak Mun who is happy if asked to sing dangdut.

    "Don't karaoke first .... We are still mourning, Mak Mun ..., it is not good to hear the neighbor." Rini reminded her maid.

    "Lhah, then WA-nan alone .... Kan friend Ibu Rini a lot .., invited by WA-nan, surely Ibu Rini is not lonely." proposed Mak Mun who is common today. To eliminate the quiet usually mothers like WA-nan.

    "Yes, yeah .... It is also true Mak Mun's proposal." said Rini.

*******

    That afternoon, Silvy was still home to her mother. Although it has been a week since the death of his father, Silvy sleeps at his mother's house, but he still wants to accompany his mother who is alone. It's a pity that her mother is lonely. Likewise, Yayan, Silvy's husband who is quite socialist, certainly also feel sorry if his mother in the big house alone. He was the same as the thought of his wife, at least more often accompany his mother-in-law.

    Of course Rini is happy to be accompanied by her son and daughter-in-law. At least someone was spoken to, chatting while telling a story of sorts. Whether it's the situation in his son's office, or the news that is seen on television. At the very least, at dinner, Rini was there to accompany. Not just eating alone.

    "Mah ..., has there been any news about Mis Yuna yet?" suddenly Silvy asked the news about Yuna.

    "Not asked yet ...?! Poor Papah Yudi, Mah ..." - Silvy.

    "Not good, Honey .... We are still in a state of grief." replied Rini.

    "We don't rush lust, it's not good for people." said her husband.

    "If for example Mas Bagas ngabari, we do not matter .... It is possible to reply or even add stories or questions. But if there is no news from Mas Bagas, do not rush to ask. After all, if Yudi has returned to Jogja, already told by Bagas, will definitely contact us." added his mother.

    "But if for example it has been a long time since Mas Bagas did not bother us?" ask Silvy again.

    "Later .... Wait until Papah's funeral is forty days. If it is past forty days kok Mas Bagas does not tell you, we call him." said his mother.

    "Why wait forty days, Mah? I was very worried about Mis Yuna ..." asked Silvy who did not know the custom.

    "Yes .., that's the belief of the Javanese .... He said the spirits of the dead were calm in the waiting world if the funeral was forty days. It's trust, don't protest." explained her husband.

    "Yes, I believe .... But Mas Bagas why yes, why not tell us ...?!" silvy said who was still worried.

    "Maybe Mas Bagas is busy dealing with tourist attractions .... If there is no Papah Yudi and Mis Yuna, all the work is done by Mas Bagas ..." said his mother.

    "Yes, yes .., Mah ...." Silvy who realized that Bagas was a confidant of Yudi.

    "We should just pray that Mis Yuna does not happen anything ..." said her husband to calm his wife's heart.

    This kind of atmosphere is what you want to always be in Rini's house. You can eat together while talking. It will certainly add intimacy and share stories. At least, if there is a problem can be solved immediately.

    "Ee ..., Silvy, Yayan .... This is Mamah sleeping in the front room, you know .... So later if you find Mamah, it's in the front room near the living room" Rini told her children before ending dinner.

    "Why, Mah ...? Scared, yeah ...?!" silvy asked mocking his mother.

    "Not .... It's just that if Mamah enters your Papah's room, somehow Mamah's emotions immediately increase. I feel angry." replied Rini.

    "Whoa .... At most Mamah was afraid, if the nights suddenly Papah came .... Hehehe ..." Silvy's god mocked his mother.

    "Bc ...! You are that ...!" refute Rini who felt ridiculed her son.

    "What is the feeling, anyway ..., Mah ...?" ask Yayan.

    "That's .... In that room there was something .... I imagined Papah at the stabbing of the naughty woman ..." Rini's story.

    "Oh .., that .... It's called a hallucination .... The shadows that occur because of Mamah's mind are haunted by unbecoming feelings. It could be out of annoyance, resentment at other feelings." explains Yayan, his daughter-in-law.

    "It could also be out of fear, Mas ..." - Silvy.

    "Bc ...! Again seductive Mamanya." said Rini who immediately pinched her son.

    "Yes .... It could be out of fear ..." yayan's timpal was also teasing.

    Fearful. Yach, of course Rini has fear. Because in that room, her husband's blood had been drenched, and resulted in death. Surely, Rini thought that her husband in the middle of the night would come to see her. Fear ...!
