Muara Kasih Single Mother
Love is Guarding
Tinkling drizzling sound, combined with the wind that blows incandescent spread a wet feeling. The two people who were still chilling sat together at the Pendopo, seemingly still circling with their chatter.
"Ehm, Mas Pandu has been single for a long time?" ask Ervita then.
Pandu nodded his head, "Yes .. five years maybe," he replied.
Ervita looked into her eyes. Five years is a long span of time for a young man to be able to be single. What really happened until Pandu was so comfortable in so long a time? Are you not interested in women in recent times?
"Five years old? Very long ... heartache or how Mas?"
Ervita asked and was also curious about what made Pandu so as to antipathy with women. There must be a reason for the moses. It is impossible for a person to experience a single event and there is no cause at all.
"The story is long, Vi ...."
"If Mas Pandu wants to tell me it's okay, I'm horrified" replied Ervita.
"Nothing long?" ask Pandu again.
Ervita nodded her head, "Yes, it's okay" he replied.
"I was betrayed more precisely, Vi .. at that time my ex-boyfriend was precisely my own best friend. More tragically, I know it directly, they 'play' together in the tent, when we both climb Mount Andong" Pandu story.

Five Years Ago ....
Pandu, along with his friends plan to climb Mount Andong. Mount Andong itself is a small mountain located in Magelang Regency, Central Java. The height of this mountain is about 1,726 meters above sea level. In this area, many climbers are camping, setting up camps, and enjoying the sunrise because the sunrise on this mountain is very beautiful.
Today, Pandu and his friends Roni and Hardi put up a tent there. There was Pandu's girlfriend at that time who also climbed Lina with other friends Nina and Tita. Pandu and the others, were as close to camping there for one night, and the six people would both enjoy Sunrise before getting off the climb and getting off to return home.
Morning blind, when it was still dark. Pandu woke up because he wanted to find a toilet around the camp, the young man woke up with a flashlight in his hand because it was still dark in the morning today, plus the cold air in the mountains makes Pandu also wear a thick jacket.
When Pandu came out of his tent which he did occupy himself, a blind morning without sound, if anything it was just the rustling of the wind from the tree around the mountain and some birds chirping, if there was just the rustling of the wind, Pandu heard the de-Sahan of two human children. Even so softly, but Pandu's ears are sure that it is the de-suppression of the voice of the human child.
"Hhhh, Roni ... Roni."
Honestly, when he heard the voice Pandu thought, his friend Roni was making fun of one of the girl friends who were there. Curious, Pandu approached the tent and a little peek with whom Roni did that.
"Cin ... Lina .. favors Lin, so stupid guide never touched you. You're delicious, Lin."
The deg!
"I'm lucky to be first, Lin ... Lina," raved Roni again.
Such is Pandu, he does not want to touch his lover, because he thinks that love is protective. Love is not destructive. However, what is happening now in the camp, on the slopes of Mount Andong, Pandu feels betrayal from his lover and his own friend.
That morning also when the sun turned up, Pandu did not bother anymore, he decided Lina there, and then Pandu chose to go down first from there. The guide left with a wound and it was as if his heart was broken there.

"That's my story, Vi. After that I lost faith with girls and friends. I'm reluctant to see Roni again. Why is he so strong enough to eat his own friend," Pandu told with a full chest sigh there.
"Maybe I'm a colot. It's just that for me love is taking care of each other, taking care of each other, and we grow together because of it. Not just chasing satisfaction. If so, it is not love" Pandu said again.
Ervita is stunned by the sense of Pandu looking at a relationship. When Ervita feels that all men are assholes and are only looking for their own benefit, there seems to be a man who values relationships so much. It is even said that love is caring, caring, and growing together.
"Udah .. so a lot of talk," said Pandu later.
Ervita smiled there, "Cool Mas Pandu, Mas .. I'm sure at that time the Universe may have a way to show who Lina really is. Rather than getting late in living it, Mas Pandu will be more injured," replied Ervita.
Just like her, even though she was hurt. However, the Khalik always had a way of showing things to humans. Demonstrate what is happening, and also encourage His people to make decisions and choices in this life.
"That's right .. If I hadn't been that blind morning, I might have been blind forever. I looked after her, not touching her out of love, but I wanted to touch her after she was lawful to me. Therefore, now ... I if ready to just get married," replied Pandu later.
"Yes Mas .. courtship of his many sins. Just like I used to be, sinful," he replied with a sigh and lowered his face.
It is not easy to confess our sins before others. However, according to his previous experience, Ervita admitted that when dating first Ervita had fallen into a deep sin to many things that he had to live and bear alone.
"It's okay, Vi ... Allah is forgiving, He will forgive and purify your sins" Pandu said.
"Amin .. hopefully," replied Ervita.
"You don't want to get married again, Vi?" ask Pandu later.
Ervita shook her head faintly, "No Mas .. getting married is probably the only thing that is not yet in my head. I don't want to get a husband who only ends up hurting. Better, I live alone with Indi," he replied.
"Not all men are like that, Vi .. There are also good and not hurt men, too" Pandu replied.
Ervita smiled bitterly, "It is not easy for a good man from a good family to accept this sinful me and bring this disgrace, Mas. I'm not a widow, I'm pregnant and I give birth out of wedlock. I'm more despicable, Mas," Ervita replied.
Widows are much more noble because they have at least been married. As for Ervita, married was not, but she had children outside of marriage. There was no disgrace and reproach so great, from the reproach and disgrace that Ervita had endured all this time.
