"Sir!" El called Mr. Bagong because his sentence was in pause, making him curious to hear what the man with the age of over 40 years old wanted to say.
"Did I have the heart to say all this to El." In his heart Mr. Bagong was so restless because of a request from his daughter. He was afraid, afraid that El would reject him and thought that all this had something to do with him that had been helped a few months ago.
"El, I'm sorry that you haven't had enough money to charge you home. You will try to collect the wages that you will receive so much so that you can go home," said Mr. Bagong trying to find another direction of conversation, because it is not hearty if you have to say it to El, even so it will be said if his heart is ready.
"No sir, I apologize for causing trouble and for feeding me. However, it is not a reply that you get because of a situation that makes me unable to move.
A few months ago, El was found stranded on the edge of the sea where there are many fishermen who depend on how to find fish. For example, Mr. Bagong because when it is quiet, the only way is to sail with his friends. Until the figure of El with legs crushed by the trunk of the tree and unconscious they came to bring El away from the sea.
It took a long time to treat the deep wounds experienced by El, so without feeling if he was now in a village with a majority of the population farming and fishing.
"No El, all this is done and fellow people help each other." Mr. Bagong smiled at El, it is undeniable that the man with the stout eyebrows thick nose bangir, all that is the dream of women because El is the perfect male figure.
"I will repay your kindness if I have become a capable person." El did not say who he was because it felt impossible to make people believe. In addition to all the goods he had melted without rest and lucky, God still pity by letting himself live.
"Father doesn't need it El, if there's a rich and kind person. Wanting for road access to be made feasible, the suspension bridge is made of cast material. Unfortunately, all that was wishful thinking because until this moment. There is no change at all in the village that you now live in," said Mr. Bagong revealed a dream that has not yet become real.
After speaking at length, things were a little quiet. Maybe Mr. Bagong should say the desire of Lastri, where his daughter has fallen in love with the near-perfect man.
"El, can you say something?" El turned his head and thought that the middle-aged man had not said much? What he wanted to say to her again.
"Please." El also responds well when Mr. Bagong wants to say something, whether what makes it continue to convoluted and not immediately to say it.
"Do you have someone you love in this village, El?" hesitantly, Bagong asked, though he did not know what kind of answer he would receive.
"No sir, why?" el answered lightly because there was no woman, who he liked even though he often met the girls who were in the village.
"Thank God" said Mr. Bagong by stroking his chest. Which made El wonder.
"There is no El, just a sense of relief because you are not in love with the girl in this village."
For El it is impossible because there is a heart that he always guards. Even now the circumstances keep him far apart.
"Do you want to marry Lastri?"
Uhuk.
Uhuk.
At once El choked on his own salivation, being so shocked when a sentence made him glare perfectly.
"El, you're okay, right?" with mixed feelings, Mr. Bagong was forced to say all this. So that the problem of love the child immediately ends with the man who has been given the trust to care for and given a responsibility if El becomes part of it.
“It's okay Sir, this is natural to happen because accidentally,” timpal El.
“Begini El, I intend to marry you to Lastri, because my father has fallen in love with you. Since the beginning of your existence in this house,” said Mr. Bagong explained what has been said by Lastri to him.
“Pak, do you believe that I already have another woman, but not from this village,”, said El, which is time to be honest to say if he already has someone and does not want to make things misunderstood.
“El, didn't you say if you don't have another woman, then now what!” exclaimed Mr. Bagong who felt deceived by the statement given by El.
“Pak, long before I was in this place. I already have a special relationship with a woman and is my wife,”, said El to reveal who he is so as not to misunderstand.
“If you are already married, then where is the proof? You don't wear it!” grunting Pak Bagong felt fooled by El.
“In fact there is no evidence that you gave me El, it means you are lying and rejecting my request.” With a face full of disappointment, Mr. Bagong said
“Pak, I do not lie and dare to swear if I have been married since two years ago.” Either way what else will be used by El to convince Mr. Bagong, that he already has a family that has now separated, because of an accident.
“Father did not force you, it's just that I was a little disappointed because you were not honest.” After speaking, Bagong stood up and left El, who was now feeling guilty. Intentions want to be honest in fact all of it is considered a liar because there is no evidence shown.
“Yes Allah, now what should I do with such a situation. If I didn't have a family maybe I could still consider, as a form of my budding revenge.” In between his troubled heart, El tries to share his grievances with the Creator.
Without realizing that Lastri had heard everything El said, as well as his last sentence where there was still a chance for the woman to mourn El in the future.
Somewhere with a long distance.
Anisa is cradling her child with a soft song, it is also seen if Susi mom came with food and drinks for her daughter-in-law who is now standing since. Somehow from the morning Akbar fussed and continued to cry, strangely not fever or something happened to the tiny baby.
“An, let mama replace ya. You eat so that your Asi can overflow,” said Susi who now wants to take over Akbar, so that Anisa can eat and drink.
“Iya Ma, I do not know with Akbar because it is usually not like this.” A little worried about Akbar's situation because since morning, this is the first fussy Akbar.
“Do not worry, the baby is used to experiencing like this and remember .. you never think of something that is not important because it could be, the fuss is Akbar because you have a lot of thoughts.” Hearing the words from Susi, making Anisa immediately bowed because it was true. At this time Anisa was thinking about something that suddenly her husband's figure was present in her mind.
“Am I wrong to think of Mas Sam Ma? For some reason suddenly the shadow was present filled my head,” said Anisa who chose to be honest when the shadow of Samuel was disturbing him.
“An, it's just a feeling of longing that you've saved, but not conveyed. Mama was sure that Samuel had calmed down in God's paradise. You do not think of the things that have become the past in the form of memories, but remember his name when you pray at every finish prostrate.”
Anisa was silent, when Susi gave her advice and when she wanted to eat a mouthful of rice that had been prepared by Susi, suddenly the sound of a bell filled the room.
“Who is Ma, even if brother and Arum want to come here. Will definitely give you news first,” said Anisa who is now standing to see guests in front.
“Try me see,” tell me Susi.
Arriving in front of Anisa frowned when she found a young man with a backpack in his hand, so forced to call Susi's mother.
“Ma—.”
“This look, what is true.” The man also politely gave a paper to Anisa and she, read carefully to make sure if the man had no evil intentions.
“This home address is true and sorry, you who are ya?”
The man did not have time to answer, a sight that made him more confused, because it looks there is a figure that he is very familiar, namely Judah.
“An, we'd better get in. So you can chat!” take Yuda without being accompanied by Arumi.
“Kak, at least give me a little explanation, who is he?” said Anisa who still questioned the young man with a strange look and also looks, his tired face more adorning.
“Later to discuss.”
By force, Anisa invites Judah and the foreign man in. Who would have thought that by the time the young man entered, his net continued to surround the entire room, occasionally frowning.
“Means right what he said that he already had a family,” muttered in his heart with occasionally settling down one after another picture frame Samuel.
“Kak, now explain. Who is this young man!” anisa urged Judah because of the strange smell of the young man.
