Chapter 84 Pledge from Amanda with Sabrina and Jessy.

In the afternoon after the completion of Ashar Prayer, Andi and Nata's entourage separated, Andi and the group immediately returned to Bandung, while Nata will stop first to his childhood home in Tasikmalaya City. Andi subtly refused an offer from Nata to stop first at his childhood home on the grounds that, that day, he had to continue to leave for Jakarta. Nata then arrived at his childhood home and parked the vehicle after it was opened by Mang Sobri, who was watering plants that afternoon.

“Assalamualaikum Mang Sobri, this is my wife Sabrina and this is my friend when she was on campus first, Amanda.”

“Eleuh-eleuh sami-sami bule geuningan.” Said Mang Sobri innocently.

“Sumuhun mang, servant Bule ti Bandung.” Answer Sabrina.

“Har.. geuning tiasa nyarios Sunda.” Mang Sobri said in surprise.

They also left Mang Sobri who was still confused, Nata then helped Jessy who was lowering the package containing a frame or picture frame from inside the trunk. Jessy, Sabrina and Amanda also dropped the traveler bag that was stored in the trunk of the car.  Nata then re-attached all the picture frames on the wall of the family room in his childhood. The frame that has been refurbished by Jessy is now more beautiful attached to the wall of the family room.

“We want to stay here ?” Ask Amanda

“Iya last night, because it is night, do not let us fatigue later on the road, so we tonight rest in this house.” Answer Sabrina.

“Amanda please you occupy this room.”, Nata told Amanda, pointing to the guest bedroom which is always cleanly maintained.

“OK Nat's. Thank you.”  Amanda answered, she immediately entered the living room, while Sabrina and Jessy appeared to walk around every corner of the house, Sabrina, who just found out about her childhood home, Nata, seems very impressed by the old building, which is very well maintained and clean.

While walking around the house, Bi Endah and Bi Julaeha aka Bi Eha came over.

“Den Nata.” Bi Endah and Bi Eha. It appears Amanda also came out of her bedroom after putting a traveler bag into her house.

“This is Bi Eha and Bi Endah, these are the people who took care of this house when I was a child until now with her husband here.” Nata.

“Sabrina and Amanda Bi Endah this cuisine is very delicious, later you can taste it, guaranteed for sure you want to come back here again after tasting the cuisine.” Praise Jessy.

“Ahh Neng Jessy is very good at praising. Hehe.” Kekeh Bi Endah's.

“Mang Invite same Mang Dudung where Bi?” Tanya Nata to Bi Eha.

“That, they are fishing for dinner, we will already be told if aden and his wife want to come here, ehh which Aden's other wife is ?” Ask Bi Eha.

“I Bi, Sabrina.” Answer Sabrina.

“Eleuh meuni geulis pisan, yes Bi Endah.”

“Yes, canaan Den Nata mah montihnya. Hehehe.” Bi Endah replied with a chuckle. Simultaneously came Mang Dudung and Mang Invak who had just finished fishing. Jessy Sabrina and Amanda immediately want to greet them, but Mang Dudung and Mang Invuk try to avoid.

“Don't Neng hand Mamang all smell rancid, because just finished fishing and cleaning it.” Prevent Mang Dudung.

“It's okay Mang kang can be washed again with soap.” Sabrina forcefully grabbed the hands of Mang Dudung and Mang Invited followed by Jessy and Amanda.

“Aduh meuni smooth all hand anu geulis mah.” Said Mang Invite.

“Hehehe Mang Invite can aja.” Kekeh Jessy's.

“Den His car to be washed now ?” Ask Mang Sobri.

“No need Mang Sobri, bear Mahgrib soon, we will soon be going to the mosque.”

“Ohhh well.” Mang Sobri.

“Let the three of you pray at home with Bi Eha and Bi Endah. I now want to take ablution first, let's mang.” Take Nata to the three foster mamas.

“OK kang.” Sabrina and Jessy. Jessy invites Sabrina and Amanda to look into the kitchen and fish pond, then explains that later they will eat on the bale-bale above the fish pond.

“Clearly very water yes, until all the fish are clearly visible like this.” Sabrina.

“Iya, want to participate in swimming with these dikolam fish heheh.” Kekeh Amanda who was seen was amazed when she looked at the fish pond.

“The fish color is deliberately printed like this Bi ?” Ask Sabrina

“Iya Neng, so that large fish do not attack small fish, also to separate the types of fish. Here there are Lele, Mujair or Nila, Goldfish and Gurame.” Reply Bi Eha.

“Food for fish buy or make your own.” Ask Amanda.

“Sometimes we make frequent purchases that have already been made. Fish pellets.” Reply Bi Eha again.

“When where is the water from ? very clear flowing continue.” Ask Sabrina again.

“From the springs on the hill there neng, near the tea garden.” Bi Endah answered while pointing at a hill that began to look dark eaten by dusk.

“Partially go to the bathroom also dong his clean water ?” Ask Amanda again.

“True Neng.” Reply Bi Endah.

“It's worth the water is very cool, tends to be cold like the water in the refrigerator, hehe.”

They continued their steps until the flower garden is diverse, there are many flowers relics of the late mother Nata who is very fond of planting flowers in the backyard and front yard of her house. Sabrina and Amanda were again amazed by all the sights he saw.

“Come we take ablution yuk.” Take Sabrina as they are content to walk around every corner of the yard in the late afternoon.

“Nata until what time is it usually to the mosque ?” Ask Amanda.

“She usually comes home after the completion of Isya Prayer, or around eight o'clock in the evening.” Answer Jessy.

“Then in Bandung so is ?”

“Not yet, sometimes, if in Bandung, he always guided us to congregational prayer, also taught us to teach.” Answer Sabrina.

“How happy you two are.” Said Amanda who indirectly praised Nata sincerely.

“Thank God, Nata also has a companion who loves her very much. You two are so total as converts, different from me who was born a Muslimah.” Amanda said later.

“Do not be discouraged Amanda. Someday you will find someone who may be better than Nata.” Sabrina.

“Iya Amanda, you don't be sad dong.” Jessy hugged Amanda.

“Thank you, you two have made my life more meaningful.”

“Ehhhh how are you still on the chat ? Already done fetching water wudhunya ?” Said Bi Eha who just finished taking ablution water.

“Already dong Bi, we are all waiting for Bi Eha and Bi Endah for Maghrib prayer berjama’.”

“Ohh yes sorry, aunty was scraping rice that was being cooked in the kitchen.” Reply Bi Endah.

Then they started the Maghrib Prayer in the middle room. After the completion of the Mahgrib Bi Eha and Bi Endah prayers then excuse me from the middle room to prepare food in the kitchen that will be eaten that night.

“At the time Nata gave the wedding reception invitation, I did not believe you at first if it turns out Nata married you both.” Amanda said back in front of Sabrina and Jessy. The three of them were still wearing mukena, not taking off the clothes in the living room and the three of them were also still sitting on their prayer mats.

“Hmmm ago ?” grab Sabrina again.

“You don't say the same Nata yaa. Look out just the same you two I'm talking about.”

“Iya dong, trust us both.” Jessy then tries to convince Amanda.

“When I was in college in the USA, I had a big crush on Nata, but Nata still thinks of me as just a friend.”

“What is Amanda ?” Sabrina asked in great surprise.

“Yes, Really. But I don't swear. Fear of quality, hehehe.”

“Then how next ?”

“Some times I often give signals to Nata, but Nata more and more days to ignore me, in the end I give up, Nata and I then start working in different places, and I will not give up, the distance is very far, both of us are very time consuming. Eventually, I received an invitation from you. At first I would try to thwart him, but after I thought Nata was so good with me, he even helped me often as long as we were both still abroad, but still he did not realize the signal from me. Now I finally realize that you are alone in melting the iceberg of Nata, melting your hearts and sincerely loving you both. Congratulations to you both.” Amanda ended her outpouring of love towards Sabrina and Jessy by hugging Sabrina and Jessy very tightly. Her tears could no longer be blocked by Amanda. Sabrina and Jessy were silent and hugged Amanda no less tightly.

“Please take care of Nata yaa Sabrina and Jessy.”

“Iya Amanda, may we start to consider brother against you ?”

“Really ?” Amanda's question began to stretch out her arms then looked at Sabrina and Jessy's faces alternately.

“Really Sis Amanda.” Answer Jessy.

“I used to want to have a sister, only now it turns out to be granted.”

“So you want to be called teteh or sister ?” Ask Sabrina.

“Hehehe as you like, calling a name directly is also okay for me personally. But I was very touched when you called his wife Kang Andi with the name Teteh also to his wife Bang Arwan named Teh Maya. But I don't want to be called teteh, just call brother deh, hehehe.”

“Ok Brother Amanda darling.” Sabrina answered and hugged Amanda. Jessy also gets a turn hugged by Amanda.

Amanda even kissed the forehead of Jessy and Sabrina alternately. They began to break away from his embrace when Bi Eha and Bi Endah returned to the living room along with the sound of Isya's adhan from the mosque loudspeaker which was very close to the old house. Bi Endah then returned to be the priest of the people who were in the old house. After the completion of the Prayer Isya Bi Eha and Bi Endah invited Sabrina, Jessy and Amanda to go to the place to eat in the form of bale-bale saung which is just above the fish pond.

The gurgling water in the fish pond and the cool air near the mountains makes the mood of the women blasteran be very comfortable linger there. Plus the very sincere hospitality of Bi Endah and Bi Eha. Making Sabrina, Jessy and Amanda did not hesitate to help them in completing the processed cuisine from Bi Endah. The sound of footsteps from Nata, Mang Inv, Mang Dudung and Mang Sobri, forced Sabrina, Jessy and Amanda to turn their necks towards those who had just come from the mosque.

“Assalamualaikum, Hungry nih, done cooking ?” Nata said that his eyes were clean to check all the dishes that had been cooked by Bi Endah with the help of Bi Eha, Sabrina, Jessy and Amanda.

“Waalaikumsalam, already den.”

“Come we continue to congregate dinner here.”Bring Nata.

“If I may ask to just pack it with?” ask Mang Invite.

“Ga can mang, Mang Inv period will be wrapped with banana leaves, want to be pressed like a goldfish ?” Answer Nata. Everyone laughed when they heard it.

“Mamang means, the food is wrapped only, want to be taken as usual to the house. hehehe.” Errata Mang Invite while chuckling.

“Quiet mang has been prepared for Mang Invite family.” Answer Jessy who has begun to poult with the habits of the Mang Invite it.

“Thank you Neng.” Mang Inv replied and then began to step back to his home.

“Let's go, I haven't had the same greeting as mang Invite.” Nata said, then rushed into the room after that back to the Sobri mang.

“This is for children at home yes, tomorrow we before returning to Bandung will stop by the house of mang Invite first deh.” Say Nata while tucking the envelope into the palm of Mang Invite.

“Iya Den, Thank you Den.” Said Mang Invite while walking bent over while saying goodbye to everyone who was there.

Dinner was soon started, Nata as usual led do’a before dinner. After that, they started eating. At dinner, Nata secretly notices the three women, now between Sabrina and Jessy seems to be getting closer to Amanda. Especially when he saw between Amanda, Sabrina and Jessy was even seen sharing the side dishes he ate that night. Sabrina and Jessy are heard calling Amanda.

‘Good if they are getting familiar.’ The Guman Nata in his heart.

After finishing dinner and finished cleaning all the tableware, everyone started to enter their rooms. Nata who was in a room with Sabrina and Jessy began to ask the two wives.

“Sabrina and my dear Jessy, that was when I was in the Masjid talking to Amanda ?”

“Ohhh we agreed to raise each other as kang brothers, like me with Jessy.”

“Iya right kang, it turns out Amanda is very good you know the person.”

“Ohhhh I guess why.” Nata then began to close his eyes because he was getting tired and sleepy. His hands were as usual hugging Sabrina and Jessy. Sabrina then blinked her eyes at Jessy with a nod of Jessy's head. Sabrina and Jessy also ended up sleeping in her arms.
