MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 96: WORRY
Piqued. That was how Jamilah felt that afternoon. How not? Mr. Salihun who he hoped could fill his heart that was already hurt by the relationship Minul and Mr. Ratno, was not sincerely loving him. The proof, last night when he came home with Mr. Salihun, he was instead yelled at by the old man just because he reminded that Mr. Salihun was wrong to see. Mr. Salihun was insistent with his stance that he actually saw Minul walking towards the grave. And sure enough, it turns out that what was seen by Mr. Salihun was not Minul, but a ghost. Fortunately, he still felt sorry for the old man by reporting it to Ustad Andi and other residents to save the man who was dressed so tacky.
During the help at the house of Miss Dewi earlier, Mr. Salihun tried to approach and apologize to Jamila for her treatment last night. Jamila said that she forgave Mr. Salihun's treatment, although in her heart she still harbored pain. Pak Salihun's attention during helping at the house of Bu Dewi was not touched by the woman. He prefers to concern himself with the cakes rather than having to repose Mr. Salihun. Mr. Salihun finally had to be disappointed because his attention was ignored by Jamila.
Meanwhile, Minul is also still very upset by the treatment of Mr. Ratno last night who did not take care of him properly so he had to meet a creepy ghost. During the day Mr. Ratno was trying to get close to Minul, but was ignored by Minul because he was still upset with the incident last night.
“My ex-husband used to be gentle at first, but after a long marriage his true nature began to appear. He began to say harsh words and even did KDRT against me. And Mr. Salihun had dared to yell at me last night when we still had no relationship. Especially if we are really married. Is it not getting worse Mr. Salihun's attitude towards me? Nah! I don't want to repeat my failure a second time. I need to start staying away from Mr. Salihun. Let me live alone for a while until I really meet my soul mate,” Jamila told herself.
“My ex-husband was originally a very caring person to me. Wherever I go, I am always escorted by my husband. I want this to be always filled by my husband. But, after the marriage went on for some time, my husband's attitude changed. Especially when my body gets fatter, he becomes a very indifferent person. So cool, to lift a gallon or a gas cylinder he did not want. I'm all working. Even the tile leaked out he was silent too. I should be the one to get on the roof. And, what was more painful was that after a long period of unemployment, he dumped me and ran off with a woman he said was rich and prettier than me. Mr. Ratno is handsome and cool, but how can at the beginning of our approach he not care about my safety? She didn't believe me when I screamed for help because of the danger. There's no way I'm repeating the same thing twice. I don't want to fail in the household for the second time. I didn't expect her sweet attitude when I delivered a date to her was much different from her attitude lately. I miss the figure of the man who cares for me and really loves me from the deepest heart. And that man is not Mr. Ratno,” Minul told himself.
“Thank you once Minul. He has a partner like Mr. Ratno. Everyone has been determined by the Lord YME. Hopefully this time Minul can be happy with Mr. Ratno,” said Jamila again.
“Thank you once Jamila. He can be close to Mr. Salihun. It seems that both are suitable. I hope they both can live happily. Mr. Salihun would be very sorry for Gio, Jamila's son. Hm .. I also want to be honest with Jamila that when was the day that I was the one who had disguised myself as a ghost and disturbed her in the T-junction near the house. I'll also tell Jamila that I did it so that I could steal the chance to get closer to Mr. Ratno. And it turns out I was wrong to have chosen Mr. Ratno for my liking. We both don't fit. Well, I have to be straightforward and apologize to Jamila. Hopefully he can still forgive me after I admit all my mistakes to him,” Minul said again.
Jamila came home from the house of Miss Dewi with Minul and also the other neighbors. But, all the way home they did not chat with each other because they were busy with their respective thoughts.
Meanwhile, after returning from tahlilan at the house of Mr. Dimas, Mr. Ratno could not sleep because he was anxious with his own thoughts.
“Nul, forgive me for not caring about you last night. I don't know why last night I thought you were just kidding. Not only that, I feel like I'm only close to you as an escape. I'm sorry, Minul. Honestly, my heart still can't forget Jamila. Although, I know now Jamila is close to Salihun. I still need time to forget Jamila. And I know, it takes a short time,” thought Mr. Ratno before going to bed.
Meanwhile Mr. Salihun is also restless with his mind.
The four people were both uneasy with their respective thoughts. Until midnight they do not fall asleep. They planned what they would do next. Jamila wanted to withdraw from her proximity to Mr. Salihun. Minul also wanted to withdraw from Mr. Ratno and apologized to Jamila. Mr. Ratno will withdraw from his proximity to Minul. And Mr. Salihun will also withdraw from his relationship with Jamila while apologizing to Mr. Ratno for his disguise some time ago.
“God, send me a smooth soul mate like his candidate Minul,” said Jamila.
“God, send me a caring soul mate like his candidate Jamila,” Minul said.
“God, happy Jamila with the person she loves,” said Mr. Ratno.
“God, please Minul along with his heart!” muttered Pak Salihun.
They can finally fall asleep.
