MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 139: TWO MEN
Mr. Salihun returned home happy. Although this morning he was disappointed because Jamila did not admit that the woman who handed him a date that night was him. But, his meeting with Minul was enough to treat his disappointment. Because as a man Mr. Salihun feels happy if his energy and mind are useful for others.
“Maybe it is true people say that regret comes later. Because at the beginning of the registration. Yes, if only I had not been chasing Jamila too much, maybe I could have been close to Minul. But, it's too late. Minul already belongs to Ratno. I can't take any more of the woman my best friend likes. I don't want the second thing to happen. I've done Ratno wrong by seizing his chance close to Jamila, there's no way I'm doing the same thing a second time. Oh yeah, I've apologized to Jamila, but I'm not relieved that I haven't apologized to Ratno. Well, even though that doesn't mean anything to Ratno anymore because he's now the same Minul. But, there is no harm in me still apologizing to Ratno so that in the future I am more careful and do not make the same mistake. So now that I no longer have busyness, I better go to Ratno's house just to tell the truth.” Mr. Salihun really wanted to start everything from scratch.
Mr. Salihun walked towards Mr. Ratno's house. It turns out that Mr. Ratno just came home from Bu Reni's house. Looks like he just helped peel the coconuts at the flower widow's house. In the hands of Mr. Rato still carrying the usual badik he used for various purposes.
“Assalamualaikum .. How are you, Rat?” asked Mr. Salihun sengaa clarifying the movement of his mouth so that it can be read by his friend who is somewhat less auditory.
“Waalaikumsalam .. Alhamdulillah healthy, Hun. Where have you been all day? How can you help at Miss Reni's house?” asked Mr. Ratno while putting his body on the table that was on the porch of his house.
After that Mr. Ratno was seen twirling his neck to reduce fatigue due to too much peeling coconuts while hanging out at Bu Reni's house. Usually Mr. Ratno is always accompanied by Mr. Salihun when it comes to coconut peeling. But, because Mr. Salihun did not come, he had to do everything himself.
“I was this morning to the next village, Rat. I ordered the scythe to Kang Yatno's house because two more days of rice fields in the east will want to harvest. My sickle supply is not there at all. Forced I have to go to Kang Yatno's house to order a sickle,” replied Mr. Salihun with a bad feeling for not helping at Bu Reni's house.
“Why not order via Mobile only? After all, your scythe can't exist at all? Where to?” timpal Mr. Ratno with a frown.
“Already. Kang Yatno asked to be paid in full at the front. Yes, I had to go there. If my scythe problem goes anywhere. Hm .. borrowed brother not back and forth. When it was collected, he said it was gone. I don't know! At most it's been sold to my brother. By the way tired too huh, chat while standing? We chat while sitting down, yuk!” reprimand Mr. Salihun by throwing a smile.
“Eh yes, Hun. Sorry, forgot to offer a seat. Please sit down, yeah! But, don't ask for a drink, will you? The sugar supply at home is running out. Unless you want to wait for me to go to the store first,” replied Mr. Ratno.
“Neither drink. I just need to talk to you for a second, kok!” sahut Pak Salihun while sitting on a chair on the porch of Mr. Ratno's house.
“What do you need to do kayak is very important, Hun?” mr. Ratno asked later, after they both sat on the chair face to face.
“Rat, I want to say something to you. Yes, the point is I want to apologize to you for the mistakes I made first with you,” replied Mr. Salihun began serious talks.
“Serious once you, Hun? What error, anyway?” asked Mr. Ratno became curious about his best friend because his best friend had never invited him to speak so seriously.
“Iya, Rat. This time I'm serious. I have made a mistake with you and you never seem to know about it. I can not calm down if I have not spoken frankly with you and apologized to you,” replied Mr. Salihun with a flat face.
Furthermore, Mr. Salihun looked tense and regulated his breathing. There was still doubt in the man's heart. But, he had already made up his mind to tell Mr. Ratno honestly.
“Rat, you still remember the time Jamila promised to return kencah to you?” ask Mr. Salihun to start his story.
“Iya. Why?” ask Mr. Ratno.
“That night I secretly went into your house without your knowledge. Then, after a distance I saw Jamila coming with a fast, I turned off the lights of your house and I disguised myself as you,” said Mr. Salihun.
“But, Hun!” cut Mr. Ratno.
“Jamila did not realize that what was in your house was not you, but me. Moreover, I deliberately changed my voice to look like you. And, as a result Jamila also thrust her fast through the door leaf and I stuck out your hand. However, out of sheer grogginess, I accidentally touched Jamila's hand. Maybe because of shame, Jamila went straight away,” continued the story of Mr. Salihun without caring about his talk that was interrupted by Mr. Ratno.
“Already, Hun?” mr. Ratno asked after Mr. Salihun had stopped talking for almost half a minute.
“Iya, Rat. I apologize to you for trying to grab your closeness with Jamila. Although, in fact, you are currently not close to Jamila anymore. Instead, you've started getting serious with Minul. But, if I do not convey this to you, all my life will continue to be pursued guilt,” continued the speech of Mr. Salihun.
“OK, I'm sorry for your mistake, Hun. But, you need to know that that night I accidentally met Jamila in musholla. At that time I found Jamila was running away from the fork towards musholla. After meeting with me he said that he had been disturbed by ghosts under the bamboo grove in the T-junction. And he also apologized to me because he had removed his fast when he was frightened by being disturbed by the ghost,” said Mr. Ratno in a clear and firm voice.
“Loh, you mean the one who handed me that date is not Jamila? I told Jamila about this and she said it was like that to me. Then, if it wasn't Jamila who returned the fast, what ghost is it, who returned the fast to me? Hiiiiii ...,” said Mr. Salihun slowly but clearly.
