Pickup Transportation
Section 482: Nyebrang 14
“Yes, but .. ah, come on, you eat first, my wife has prepared food for us, let's eat at my house.” Eman invites Aep to eat at his house, the usual thing they do if Eman is at home, eating with their family.
As they were walking to Eman's house, they came across some mothers who had finished shopping from the market, saw Eman and Aep, instead of greeting, they were whispering, laugh without being friendly.
Is there any more of this?
Just as Eman stepped into the house, he saw his wife was crying, Aep did not go into the house, he did not want to enter into the realm of one's household problems. So he waited and sat in the courtyard of Eman's house.
“Why, Mom?” Eman asked.
“Sir, you didn't hear the neighbors say anything about me and ... Kang Aep?” His wife was sitting on the living room bench.
“You and Aep? No, I didn't hear, what's the matter?”
“They said that Aep flirted with me, when you went out of town, Aep often stayed at home, they said I, I .. I'm disgusted to say it! They said me and Aep .. cheated!” The woman was in tears, she felt so humbled by the people of this village, that many of them knew, even when Aep fixed something in this house, he always asked some people to help him, so that there is no slander.
But now, as if everyone believed in the rumor, they even said, that Aep and his wife Eman were just playing a show when Aep came to help out with some neighbors, he said, just pretend like they're people who are obedient to religion and norms.
I don't know where the rumor got out of.
“Astagfirullah!” Eman sat down, limp on hearing that.
“You believe in that gossip?” His wife asked, seeing Eman's reaction, he became a bit scared.
“Of course not, I just feel sorry for Aep, Mom. There is no stopping everyone trying to drop it.”
“You don't feel sorry for me! I'm also ashamed of all that gossip!”
“You don't need to prove your purity to anyone, you just need my trust, because I'm your husband, I will be responsible for all your sins in the future. But Aep? She's alone Mom, whoever spread the rumor, they must want us to stay away from her.”
Eman then remembered that Aep was still in front of his house.
Eman rushes outside to talk to Aep, when he's already outside, Eman knows, Aep hears everything.
“I've been keeping a very careful lookout when visiting your house but you're not home, only if your wife is really in an emergency and always calls some people to come in, just so there is no such slander.
But they still believed after what I was trying to keep. The imbeciles in this village are the same as those shamans! they don't know thank you, a lot of things I did in this village for them, but I only got dirt thrown in my face, just because of the incitement of the person who really wants me to fall.
So right now, if I hunt them down one by one, it's not my fault, they've made you and your family both difficult and embarrassed.
I don't deserve to be friends with anyone.”
“Ep, I beg you, don't do this. I trust you and my wife, it's cheap gossip.”
“If everyone were like Eman, my kind friend. Man ... Sorry, we're just gonna be friends up here.
I forbid you come to my house again, nor will I accept any help from you. Don't come to my house, I won't come to your house either.
Tell your villagers they will regret treating me like this!”
Aep is going home.
“Ep, I know you're angry, but never lose your good side just because you're angry. I beg Ep.”
“No Man, sorry. This is the last time we talked.”
Aep then left the house.
Aep no longer wants Eman to be difficult, he wants Eman and his family to live a quieter life without having to bear the consequences of befriending him.
The witch doctor had to be made ax, his father died suddenly, died without cause, it was certainly one of the shamans and now, Aep must also feel bombarded by supernatural attacks, he said, slander attacks and lastly attacks on the wage earns sought.
Since then, Eman has never been able to meet Aep again, he has been completely shut down. But on certain nights, Eman often heard explosions, from the roof of our house.
Apparently, the shamans not only attacked Aep, but also attacked Eman who still believed in him, Eman also knew that Aep was guarding him and his family without saying.
For a month, every time Eman's wife would go to the market, there would be many people whispering behind her, laughing and looking disgusted at her, she would often come home in tears, Eman is very disappointed in himself, why Eman can not do something, even Aep can still help him and his family after he closed himself, Aep continues to look after Eamn every night, and even Aep can continue to help her, Eman knows clearly, he shunned Eman for fear that he and his family were suffering by becoming Aep's comrade.
So this is all Eman can do, he asked Mr. RT to hold a meeting, he felt this slander increasingly made his family into a mess, his wife did not want to go to the market, Eman worked, he said, so it's hard to help her, while her children are in school and they are also bullied, humiliated, she said.
Because it's this bad, I ask Mr. RT to help, I want Mr. RT to gather the citizens, Eman asked Mr. RT to tell the residents, he said, that Eman will hold Aep accountable for this slander.
Within an hour, all the villagers were flocking. These humans are very happy if there are people who will be harmed, even though this person is not necessarily wrong.
After the residents gathered, they waited for Aep's arrival.
Eman stood at the front, he and his wife stood there, along with Mr. RT and Mr. RW and Mr. Police who participated in the order, if there will be citizens who defy, can be immediately cracked down.
“My goal of coming here is to hold Aep accountable, but one thing I have to make sure first, is, can you ask people who have come to my wife's house to help my wife if difficulties at home, please come forward?” Eman started saying, he waited a while ago there were 4 people who came forward.
“You are our neighbor yes, his son mother Watinah, if you help Aep to my house, does Aep ever enter your room as you see it?” Eman asked one of the young men who came forward.
“No, Mang Aep always ask us nearby if he goes into Mang Eman's house, he said afraid that if there is anything he needs, we are always nearby.” Answer the young man.
“Then what about my wife? Where is he?”
“Mother? Where is it? hmm ... mother in ...”
“Never seen euy, if again at Mang Eman's house with Mang Aep, we have never seen mother at home.” The other young man replied, he remembered that.
“Well, have you not seen my wife either?” Eman asked the rest of the youth, they nodded.
“Then it's clear right?”
