MARANTI (FOOD OF THE DEAD)
EPISODE 141: FINALLY
It turned out that Jamila was leaving for Mr. Salihun's house.
“Assalamualaikum ..,”
“Waalaikumsalam. Oh you, Mil? What's the matter with the tumben coming to my house?”
“Can sit, no?”
“Eh yes, Sorry forgetfulness. Please sit down, Mil! What do you want to drink?”
“Not done, Sir. I'm only here for a minute, kok!”
“Loh, how are you hunting so? Where are you going, anyway?”
“I want to help at Bu Reni's house, Sir!”
“Oh yes ... Okay, what do you need here?”
Jamila took a deep breath.
“Pak, this morning after Mr. Salihun to the house, before long Minul also came to rumah”
“Minul? What's the need for him to come to your house? What does this have to do with me?”
“Iya. So, Mr. Salihun did tell me earlier that it was Mr. Salihun who disguised himself as Mr. Ratno and received a date from the person who thought I was with Mr. Ratno, right?”
“He's right, Mil. But, right, you deny it? You said that it was not you and you admitted that you did not return the date because you met a ghost and your date fell while trying to run from the ghost?”
“Iya. It wasn't me who returned the date. And Mr Salihun know who returned the date to Mr Salihun?”
“Who, Mil?” Mr. Salihun is getting curious.
“Tadi, Minul who came to the house he came to apologize to me for scaring me by becoming ghosts and snatch kencah from me,.”
“What? So, you mean Minul was the one who handed the date over to me?” Mr. Salihun was shocked to hear that fact.
“Iya, Sir. That night Mr. Salihun received a date not from me, but from Minul,” replied Jamila firmly.
“Yes Lord!” pekik Pak Salihun's.
“Why, Sir?” ask Jamila.
“Nothing, Mil!” replied Mr. Salihun pretending.
Though in the heart of Mr. Salihun is not care. How not? The incident of touching his hands and women's hands accidentally that night was one of the reasons Pak Salihun's nights were difficult to sleep. The man was disappointed because when he initially approached Jamila, it turned out that his deg deg ser sense was not felt like that night. In fact, it was his own heart that spoke that he was very comfortable being at Minul's side. But, Minul he thought was not the owner of a soft hand that had made him drunk to love that night. And it turns out that at this time he only found out that the owner of the soft hand that was always in the shadow of Mr. Salihun was the same person whose attitude he admired. He is Minul.
“Loh, why am I left daydreaming, sir?” jamila Tegur.
“Eh, sorry, Mil!” answer Mr. Salihun.
“Pak, I'm home first, huh? Want to rent at home Bu Reni.”
“Oh, yes already. Thanks a lot for the information.”
“Sama-Sama. Gud Lak, yes?”
“Gud Lak?”
Jamila did not bother to talk about Mr. Salihun anymore. He went straight to Bu Reni's house. Gio's mother did not realize that there were a pair of eyes peeking at what he was discussing with Mr. Salihun.

This is the seventh night of the celebration at Bu Reni's house. Minul and Jamila that night were left in Bu Reni's house. As soon as the event was over, Mr. Salihun tried to get close to Minul. Jamila smiled at Minul.
“Nul, I go home first, yes?”
“Loh, wait for me, Mil!”
But Minul's voice was deliberately not heard by Jamila. The woman deliberately gave the opportunity so that Minul could be close to Mr. Salihun.
“A-pa bo-leh me an-tar you, Nul?” Mr. Salihun volunteered to Minul stammering.
“I-iya, Sir,” replied Minul timidly.
Finally, the two of them walked together down the lonely hallway of Pomegranate hamlet. There was no concern for the ghosts in their hearts back then. They were worried about the state of their hearts. Not a single word was said from both of their mouths at that moment. Shame rules their hearts more. When Minul got to his house, the woman dared to say.
“M-thank you very much yes, sir!” said Minul while looking down.
“Sama-Sama, Nul!” replied Mr. Salihun timidly.
“I stay inside huh, Sir?”
“Wait, Nul!”
“What's up, Sir?”
Mr. Salihun gathered all his courage.
“I-iya. It was Jamila who told me this. I also apologize because I have disguised myself as Jamila and made Mr. Salihun disappointed,” Minul said with a stumbling because of embarrassment.
“No, Nul! I'm not disappointed. I was happy when I found out it was you. I think you are disappointed, yes, because the one you met was not Ratno, but me?” timpal Pak Salihun's.
“Ti-no, Sir! Nothing ...” replied Minul with a red face.
“Nul ... I can say honestly with you?” ask Mr. Salihun.
“What, Sir?” ask Minul denan deg-degan.
“Honestly, since that night, I can't forget the owner of that padded hand? And, I can not lie to myself if I have the same feelings as you,” said Mr. Salihun with courage.
Minul just kept quiet because he was surprised that the man he admired was secretly harboring the same feelings for him.
“Nul, would you like to be my wife and mother of my children?” The sentence just slid from Mr. Salihun's mouth.
“P-pak?” Minul stuttered to hear Mr. Salihun's speech.
“Why, Nul? Do you have another man in your heart?” asked Mr. Salihun curiously.
“It's not so, sir? I did not expect it turned out that Mr. Salihun also had the same feelings as me.”
“You mean? You ready?”
Minul nodded with a smile.
“Alhamdulillah!!!” screeched Mr. Salihun very loudly while jumping high into the air.
Fortunately, his voice did not reach the ears of Minul's neighbors.

Meanwhile, Jamila who walked ahead of Minul was not walking alone. There was Mr. Ratno trailing behind him.
“Mil, wait!” shouted Mr. Ratno.
Jamila. He was surprised because behind him there was a man who was always there in his dreams.
“Kok alone, Mil? Where's Minul?”
“Iya, Sir. Hm .. Minul again same someone.”
“Salihun?”
“Iya. How know?”
“I'm Salihun's best friend, Mil. I know everything about him. Including your relationship turned out to be unsuccessful, right?”
“Not successful, but not matchmaking. Mr Ratno and Minul are also not successful, right?”
Mr. Ratno smiled wryly.
“How to succeed, Mil. In our hearts each of us already has someone else.”
Turn Jamila who fell silent.
When Jamila was almost at her house, Mr. Ratno pulled Jamila's arm.
“Mi, I want to talk seriously with you.”
“What by the way, Sir?”
“Mil .. I cannot accept the presence of others in my heart because there are others I always hope to fill my heart with. And you know who that guy is?”
“Who, Sir?”
“You ...,” replied Mr. Ratno with a smile towards Jamila.
“Yakin? Not wrong people?” ask Jamila.
“I'm sure, Mil! Are you willing to be my makmum?” ask Mr. Ratno ala-ala Romeo.
“No. ..” Reply Jamila.
The look on Mr. Ratno's face flushed instantly.
“Not want to refuse!” jamila replied with a sweet smile towards her Romeo.
