MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 140: SORRY
Mr. Ratno also has no answer to the confusion experienced by Mr. Salihun.
“I don't know either, Hun. Who returned the same to you? Oh yes, you also mistakenly thought that I was the same Minul. No, Hun! I did try to get close to Minul, but honestly I don't seem to be worthy of him. I've ignored his own safety. He deserves someone better than me. Who can take care of him and also love his son. As for me, it seems like I still cannot escape the shadows of the past,” replied Mr. Ratno in a serious tone.
“Are you honest with what you said just now, Rat?” asked Mr. Salihun did not believe the words of his best friend.
“I tell you the truth, Hun. Why would I lie to you, Hun. I thought you were not just a friend, but more than a brother. For a while I'd like to rest my heart first, Hun. Who knows later I can meet the woman who will really be my soul mate,” replied Mr. Ratno.
“Aamiiin .. Then I want to leave first, yes? I am very grateful to you for forgiving my mistakes,” said Mr. Salihun.
“Sama-Sama .. I also want to take a shower. After that I want to take a short walk to remove the chopsticks,” replied Mr. Ratno.
Mr. Salihun went home after getting an apology from his best friend. Along the way he kept thinking about Mr. Ratno saying that he had nothing to do with Minul. I don't know why Mr. Salihun was happy to hear that.

Minul just finished cleaning his house. He continued his activities that accompanied his son to play in his house. His mind at that time was in turmoil due to a dispute with his best friend, Jamila. I don't know how he would face his days ahead if he didn't get along with Jamila. Because Jamila is the best friend to be invited to anything. Understand his age and the age of Jamila is still sepantaran.
“Asalamualaikum ...,” voice of someone surprised the mother of one child.
“Waalaikumsalam .. Eh, you, M-mil?” answer Minul in disbelief.
Minul was really stammered when he saw Jamila who was on his mind all day, suddenly standing at the door of his house.
“S-please enter, Mil!” said Minul with still stammering.
Instead of directly looking for a seat, Jamila actually immediately embraced the body of her best friend.
“I'm sorry for my outrageous attitude to you huh, Nul? I was feeling and emotional. I'm sorry, Nul!” jamila said with a glass.
“No, Miles. You're not the wrong one! I was wrong. I've gone too far to do that to you! You deserve to be so much the same as me!” sahut Minul was sad.
The two of them hugged each other tightly and apologized to each other. The tears of both of them flooded at that moment. The two women were powerless to antagonize each other for a longer time.
After minutes of shedding emotions and feelings between them, finally the hearts of the two women became calmer than before.
“Sit, Mil!” minul.
“Iya, Nul. Thank you,” replied Jamila.
“I'll get you a drink first, yeah?” minul said as he walked towards the back.
“Still yes, Mil. You have forgiven me,” said Minul.
“I also thank you, Nul. For your concern for Gio,” replied Jamila.
“Wah, Si Bun-Bun who does not love him. His son is smart and funny,” said Minul.
“Nul, actually my arrival here there is something I want to tell you about the incident that night at Mr. Ratno's house,” said Jamila started the conversation with another topic.
“Which when is it?” ask Minul.
“That's the time you restore that fast,” replied Jamila.
“Oh ... Which one is it? Why else, Mil?” ask Minul.
“The man who received your date that night was not Mr. Ratno, Nul,” replied Jamila.
“Not Mr Ratno? Continue who?” minul asked curiously because he still remembered those moments of happiness when his finger was touched by the man he thought was Mr. Ratno.
“That man is Mr. Salihun, Nul. Last morning Mr. Salihun came to my house to apologize to me because he also thought that the woman he met that night was me.” replied Jamila.
“You're not kidding, are you, Mil? Duh, I'm sorry, Mil. I didn't mean to disturb your relationship with Mr. Salihun because I was looking for Mr. Ratno at the time. You know that, right?” minul said pleading. Though when he heard that the man who touched his finger was Mr. Salihun, Minul's heart became flowery. But he tried to cover up his feelings because he knew that Jamila was close to Mr. Salihun.
Jamila looked into Minul's eyes and said.
“Nul, I have nothing to do with Mr. Salihun. We tried to get close to each other, but there was no match between us. You like Mr. Salihun, right? I know that night you were jealous to see me and Mr. Salihun coming home together, right? And you need to know, at that time he thought more of you than I was on the road with him. You know what, don't you? He's mad at me because he's chasing a ghost disguised as you. I warned him to keep chasing that ghost. Even I am the one who is called because I think I do not care about you,” replied Jamila in a serious tone.
“You sure there is no connection with Mr Salihun?” ask Minul again.
“Yakin, Nul. And I am sure in Mr. Salihun's heart there is you,” replied Jamila.
Minul could only gape at Jamila's words. His mind floated with the words of his friend. He really did not expect the owner of the burly hand that touched his hand that night was Mr. Salihun. So lifted Minul until he did not realize that Jamila had come out of his house. Jamila did not go straight to her house. He's heading in the other direction. There was a business that he had to finish that day. Not Jamila's name if it doesn't work on set. It is reactive to everything. But, behind it all he is a person who does not like to procrastinate work. “Mumpung remember and mumpung briefly”it is his inspirational sentence. Because if the work is not immediately completed it will be stacked with new jobs. And eventually, nothing will be solved.
