Rudi is my Love
RAC 24: Last Test for Puang

*Rudi is My Love (RAC)*

On the day of death, the deceased's extended family shared the task.

Daeng Marakka's wife and his wife Herman went to look after Kamsiah in the hospital and took care of all the business there. Herman as the eldest son of Daeng Tanri must always be near the corpse until later after the father is buried, until after. Because, the fishermen who just returned from the sea or auction by noon, will come takziah rather unfortunate.

Daeng Marakka and Muttaqin as two parents, became a place where Herman often asked to do something about the management of the body and various small things.

Rudi Handrak was locked up in his room. His drunken condition was not too severe after he was forced to drink a lot of water to vomit.

While Barada became a beautiful mourner who much stolen her beauty, but without reducing her beauty. The plan is, he's just gonna get to the end of the funeral. Both of his parents will stay for a week.

Before the Zuhr, the body was taken to Al-Fatah Mosque to be crucified. It turns out that many mourners who helped crucify the deceased, including there are women pilgrims.

Meanwhile, when the people go to the mosque, Aziz and Sandro do not go to the mosque, they are more to keep Rudi in his room.

Suddenly a beautiful creature named Barada, not an angel, appears at the door of the room.

“Bang Aziz and Bang Sandro did not participate in the funeral prayer?” barada asked like a familiar person, when only this time he spoke to the two friends of his cousin.

Aziz and Sandro gasp, because Barada apparently knows their names, but they do not know the name of the yellow-veiled girl.

“Eh, anu, what is its name ...”

At once Sandro answered in confusion like a fisherman had no boat.

“We want to take care of Rudi,” replied Aziz who first found a reasonable reason.

“Heavier every night to pick up Rudi at the cafe than to join the Puang Haji. Moreover, this is for the last time and Puang Haji is your father's best friend,” said Barada.

The words of Barada were so striking into the hearts and heads of Aziz and Sandro. However, their wits justify what the rich-looking woman said.

“But Rudi how?” asked Aziz, whose sign he could agree with.

“Bring it up, let's pray while still drunk. Consider it the last service for Puang Haji,” said Barada. “Ayuk!”

“Iya yes!” said Sandro suddenly excited. Maybe because that invites a pretty girl, so her mind feels suggestive. Same with Aziz.

“Heeh! Chameleon girl!” shouted Rudi who had been struggling to look properly at Barada. Mention “women chameleon” once Rudi addressed to Barada when he first met her at Londo Cafe.

“Don't carelessly tell women that. He's your cousin, Rudi!” hardik Sandro's. “Come, I carried to the mosque.”

“Why in the mosque?” asked Rudi with a drunken accent.

“We follow the prayer Puang Haji,” replied Aziz.

“Puaaang!” raung Rudi again and cried, but he wanted to hug the neck of Sandro who gave his back on the edge of the bed.

So Aziz and Sandro went to take Rudi to the mosque. They could feel proud because Barada was walking with them. It was as if they were luckier than other men.

“Who is namata?” tanya Aziz ventured with Bugis accent.

“Barada, Bang,” replied Barada while smiling sweetly again friendly.

“Her husband didn't follow?” ask Aziz again. The real diplomatic question is whether Barada has a husband or not.

“Hahaha!” barada's laughter was a bit loud hearing the question because she understood the meaning.

Aziz and Sandro were a bit surprised to hear Barada who could not help but laugh loudly.

“My husband is waiting in the future,” Barada said with a smile, as she saw Aziz and Sandro showing incomprehensible faces.

Finally they arrived at the mosque at the time Muttaqin was giving an apology to the congregation, if the deceased during his life had a deliberate mistake or not, especially about the case of debt receivable. All the affairs of the world of the deceased that still need to be completed will be left to the heirs and families.

Aziz and Sandro hurriedly wudu. They even sat Rudi down, so it looked funny. After that, they joined in the saf behind the men.

However, he became the center of attention of the prayer congregation of mothers who were behind.

Muttaqin as the deceased's younger brother, became a priest.

“Allahuakbar!” takbir Rudi is quite tight with a drunken accent that is so thick, when imam takbiratul ihram.

“Allahuakbar!” The priest is devoted to the second.

However, Rudi actually made a movement of the ruku and his head hit the buttocks of the congregation in front of him. Saf salat corpses that do not use prostration make saf distance close to each other from front to back.

When the worshipers who were gored were surprised in the heart, but continued to follow the prayer, Rudi actually fell backward.

However, with a wave of movement, Rudi immediately got up to stand, but his standing position was more backward, out of the saf formation.

“Allahuakbar!”

When the priest returned to the takbir, Rudi immediately fell prostrate, even though the priest and the congregation did not bow down.

“Allahuakbar!”

The sound of takbir made Rudi wake up from his prostration and sit down.

“Assalamu ‘alaikum warahmatullahi wa barakatuhu!” salam Muttaqin as the priest in a standing position.

“Wa ‘alaikum salaaam, Puaaang!” rudi replied loudly.

Then the men heard their greetings and answered. After all the greetings, they immediately looked back and the atmosphere turned quite rowdy.

“Hahaha!”

The women in the back laughed low. Because, since then they had held laughter in prayer because they saw the behavior of Rudi's prayers from behind. Barada couldn't help but laugh.

“Why was Rudi brought here, Ziz?!” snapped Haji Suharja to Aziz and Sandro, though only Aziz was called.

“It's okay, Ji!” sahut Muttaqin quickly interceded, before Aziz and Sandro quibbled.

“Alhamdulillahi hamdan ..”

Ustaz Barzanji immediately led a prayer so that the congregation did not take care of Rudi.

While praying, Aziz and Sandro escape with Rudi. It made some women hold back laughter because it was like a comedy scene.

After being crucified, the coffins carried by the men of the deceased's family are taken at a rapid pace to the funeral. The burial position is on the mountain, but not too high, still included in the residential area.

Sandro faithfully carried Rudi, so that his best friend could take his father to his last resting place. When Sandro was tired, it was Aziz's turn to carry the uphill route.

However, Aziz was not long. He's exhausted too.

“Let me help, Ziz,” said a young athletic in T-Shirt.

The young man was a mature skin. He was named Abdussalam, son of Ustaz Barzanji who was a silat teacher.

Abdussalam was walking with two veiled women. The elder was his mother, whose name was Hamidah. While the beautiful young veiled woman is her sister named Kulsum, a beautiful girl who is much glanced and interested in young people, but no one dared to shoot her because of the toughness of her father who is an ustaz.

“Iya, yes, thank you, Sal,” said Aziz.

So, Rudi was diverted to Abdussalam's back. The young fighter then carried Rudi up to the funeral.

In the sling, Rudi occasionally chattered incoherently, which sometimes actually made those who walked with him laugh. Kulsum is among those who like to laugh at Rudi's behavior and speech, because it affects his brother who was exposed to his sap.

Like when Rudi demonstrated riding a horse while singing “kudaku gallant gallant gallant gallant”. It was even hitting Abdussalam on the head, just like when Rudi hit his father on the head one night. (BH)
