Rudi is my Love
RAC 32: A Serious Talk with Two Men

*Rudi is My Love (RAC)*

“Alhamdulillah!” said Rudi after sips of the dessert drink is exhausted and successfully made his stomach cradle a few milliseconds.

“Alhamdulillah!” vina said as she smiled and glanced at Rudi, as if her words were deliberately asking for attention. Not riya, but more to ask for more loved.

Vina's words made her father and mother look at her. Vina was just smiling at her parents.

“Loh, how very little, son? Plus, this is still a lot of beef rendangnya,” said Suharja whose rice is still half a plate.

“Alhamdulillah, thank you, Daeng. Had enough. I've eaten a lot,” refuse Rudi manners.

“Then, smoke first. I'll have an important talk with you later,” said Suharja.

Indeed, among the delicious side dishes there are piles of two boxes of cigarettes that have been silent since.

“Sorry, Daeng. I've quit smoking,” said Rudi.

“Oh!” suharja's shock, his hand movement reflex stopped, even though he had grasped the rice.

Actually Vina was also surprised, but quite her father was screeching.

“It's great that it can stop smoking. I just found out,” said Suharja enthusiastically, until he forgot he bribed again. “As long as I live in this village, only Mr. Paleppe can stop smoking, even because he has a lung.”

“Pak Paleppe who made the boat, Daeng?” ask Rudi.

“Iya. But can you get away from cigarettes?” ask Suharja.

“Struggle and determination strong, Daeng. Moreover, I change the candy,” replied Rudi.

“Iya yes. I like this kid. We as descendants of the ancestors of sailors ..”

Suharja stopped his words. He handed his plate to his wife.

“Save it first, I'll spend it again. I want to chat first with Rudi,” he said to his wife.

Suharja drank water as a cover for his meal. The water he drank was water that was glassed, not the one that was chopped.

“We talk in front, Son!” take Suharja while getting up first. He also took two boxes of cigarettes complete with gas matches.

“Iya, Daeng,” said Rudi obediently.

The two men went to the front room and sat across from the table on the sofa.

“Vina, make sweet tea first!” Suharja somewhat shouted to the woman inside.

“Iya, Sir!” vina Sahut.

After that, Suharja took out a cigarette first from his box and ignited it. After sucking with one long pull, he placed the match with the cigarette stuck on his finger. Smoke without fire billowed thickly from the cleft of his lips and nostrils. Nothing comes out of his ear.

“Before, Haji (me) apologized to you, Son. Because I separated you from Vina three years ago,” Suharja said in a heavy tone, as if the speech was many grams in weight.

“Iya, Daeng. It's nothing. It is true Daeng Haji's decision to save Vina's honor and the family. Maybe at that time, I was too carried away by the feeling to make a lot of trouble. Understandably, Daeng, still young,” said Rudi anyway.

“It's old now?” suharja asked with a look that wanted to laugh.

“Hahaha!” rudi's laughter was immediately accompanied by Suharja's laughter.

“However, whatever the reason was back then, I was still wrong, son. Alhamdulillah, now that bastard Dendi has been punished. Well, maybe you disagree if I ask for help Daeng Ambo Upe to make Dendi suffer. And it is proven that what Daeng Ambo sent was successful. If not in such a supernatural way, it is difficult to punish the damn child,” said Suharja, recounting his efforts in revenge against Dendi who he said had raped Vina three years ago.

“Iya, Daeng,” said Rudi while mangosteen, even though he actually knew about what really happened to Dendi.

“My family and I really like to see your change, even if it happens after Puang Daeng Tanri has left. Moreover, we are both neighbors of the Auctioneer. Indeed, what I want to say has to do with Vina. Vina is now home and she is still alone, has no boyfriend and is not married anyway. Now he already has his own company in Jakarta, so already has the security and capital to live. You also, have inherited all your money business and also have a shoe store business in Pasar Inpres, of course, there is no problem for wedding costs. Well, my mother and Vina are also self-conscious that now you are close to other girls. Maybe which parent isn't happy when he's beating you, son. So, we just hope, your relationship with Vina who used to be able to continue to the marriage stage. Do you still want to receive Vina?” said Suharja is quite long which has been guessed by Rudi.

Although I had guessed, still Rudi ended up being confused. His first reaction was to give a smile, while thinking.

Rudi actually admitted. If calculated and weighed from the point of view of a responsible man, Rudi should have no reason to refuse. Because, for five years he “used” Vina almost like a wife, just not “ out in” only. Rudi should be responsible for marrying Vina.

However, now Rudi has more insight and knowledge. He must choose a wife candidate who is of course of quality according to religious benchmarks.

Can be true said Sandro, do not let the fate of Rudi like himself who ended in divorce after having a newlywed status of only three days.

Rudi also does not want if the personality that he has built and shaped in recent years, becomes damaged just because he has a golden-haired wife who likes to wear shorts.

Seeing that Rudi was thinking for a long time, Suharja concluded that Rudi was heavy-hearted and likely to refuse. Therefore, Suharja immediately followed up the sentences for Rudi to consider.

“Indeed, if Vina is juxtaposed with you now, surely Vina is not suitable. But you already know Vina very well ..”

Suharja's words were interrupted as Vina came carrying two glasses of tea. Just tea without cake. He's still full. In such an appearance, Vina looked truly godly.

For a moment Suharja smoked his cigarette smoke.

“Vina, would you like to be guided to change by Rudi? In order to get closer to religion,” asked Suharja to Vina who had put drinks on the glass table.

“Eh, i-iya,” replied Vina rather stammered, but a small smile that made her embarrassed. He meant a small shy smile.

“Rudi, you already have the knowledge, have more mature control of emotions. Surely you can guide Vina to be more worthy of being the wife of an ustaz. Indeed today Vina still wears shorts everywhere ...”

Widened her beautiful eyes Vina called like that in front of Rudi. He immediately left and sat on the floor leaning against the wall, precisely in the doorway of the middle room. He wanted to hear clearly the conversation between his father and Rudi. Certainly, he wanted to hear what Rudi's answer was.

“Receive, Rudi. Accept, Rudi!” rapal Vina in the heart is like reading a spell.

“Today Vina is still what you see, like a stealth child whose hair is yellow. But, if you are a wife, it is mandatory to obey the husband. Isn't that right, Son?” said Suharja, then herded justification.

“Iya, Daeng,” said Rudi.

“So what's your answer, son?” ask Suharja.

After that, the next seconds became a very thrilling time for Vina and her parents. Sunirah also listened from the middle room. (BH)
