Rudi is my Love
RAC 38: Vina Trialed

*Rudi is My Love (RAC)*

No one knew about Grandbo who had just provoked the fury of Haji Suharja and those fishing villagers, except Vina. Therefore, Vina is obliged to explain to her family, local authorities and the community represented by a number of figures.

At that time, the living room of Suharja's house was full of people, even partially sitting and standing on the terrace to hear Vina's explanation directly.

The people inside are Haji Suharja, Pak RW Haji Rustam, Pak RT Jaruddin, Haji Goli, Obba Gantra, Satlinmas Head Andu Marokko, and a 70-year-old TNI retired woman named Dodi Sudaka.

While some residents form small groups out there talking about the tension that almost bloodshed.

“Grandbo is the son of a hotel and restaurant entrepreneur in Jakarta. Grandbo and I have been together. But I immediately decided to break up after knowing that she likes to play with women. He's a cruel man. He also cheated on my best friend in Jakarta, but then my best friend was beaten to the hospital for making him angry. Since then, I have never met Grandbo again. But a week ago she suddenly came to my aunt's house and proposed to me. Aunty Anti who is not very familiar with her nature is accepting, even though at that time I had run away from Auntie's house ...”

“But your aunt never told you on the phone if you run away,” cut Suharja with a riled expression.

“I don't know why Aunty didn't tell the Father,” said Vina whose story was cut. “Grandbo is always escorted by two bodyguards. But I never knew that his bodyguards had such a shot. I didn't think he would come here. Thought I, she would let me go if I disappeared and she would look for a new boyfriend, because she was easy to get a boyfriend.”

“I was really insulted by that bembe asu (dog goat). Thought of as a person with a lot of money, he could pay for all affairs. To just get my permission, he would pay me two hundred million regardless of whether I agreed or did not share Vina's relationship with him. Crazy boy!” suharja said it was still carried away by emotions.

“Begin only. Obviously we all don't want those people coming here anymore. We all know the car and its features. So, if he comes again, immediately report to Salinmas or to Pak Haji Rustam, or to RT,” said Dodi Sudaka who still likes to wear ABRI pattern pants even though not army uniforms. Even sometimes she wears a shirt with tights.

“That's right, Commander,” said Mr. RW Haji Rustam. Indeed, people like to call the retired person as “Komandan”.

“If he comes again, we can muster up all the men of this village!” said Andu Marokko who has a large body but fat pepper.

“I don't think he'll come again. If it comes, it is the same as looking for the disease itself,” said Dodi Sudaka.

Sunirah and Murni came to bring a lot of hot tea. Not only for those who sit in the living room, but also for those on the terrace.

“Means you don't want to go to Jakarta again, Vina?” ask Suharja to his daughter.

“Stay must be, Sir. If my company keeps me staying, it can be messy,” replied Vina.

“How about you meet that person again?” ask Suharja.

“Later I try to think how,” replied Vina again.

“Better just marry Vina. Just like the people close, do not be the same people far away. Indeed, the danger if beautiful children are left free without ties, instead of providing calm for parents, but it brings disaster,” said Haji Goli as Suharja's uncle who included grandfather for Vina as well.

“Iya, it's today I've been thinking about and waiting for the process. Daeng Ambo Upe has also explored the future of Vina. Daeng Ambo Upe said, Vina must be betrothed to the village ...”

“Sekampung? Meaning one village?” tanya RW Haji Rustam cut out Suharja's words.

“Iya one village, Mr. RW. But that is, married to the man who lives around the same Hajj family,” explained RT Jaruddin with a humble gesture as a subordinate.

“Oooh. Hahaha!” RW Haji Rustam's laughter was rather lola to his brain.

“Hahaha!” low laughter some people, making the atmosphere more fluid.

At that time, wet cake food pudding type should also come out with small plates. A few packs of cigarettes were also given. Cigarettes become one of the main menus for men in fishing villages if they are gathering. On average, they are active smokers who smoke strong, although still not strong smoke exhaust fumes.

“Allahuakbar allahuakbar!”

Suddenly the voice of azan magrib reverberated. However, the activity in the room continued. The plates containing the pudding are continuously circulated up to the terrace. The front lights of the house are also turned on.

“Hahaha!” Some people support the laughter of their neighborhood leaders.

“If I want to die. I am afraid, because it is old to the point that it cannot pass in the esophagus,” said Haji Goli as he got up from the chair.

“Hahaha!” laughter of some.

Haji Goli who walked bent over without a cane, broke through the crowd on the terrace.

People immediately gave way.

While others, including Suharja, were unmoved. Until the azan magrib was over, only Haji Goli and three other men on the terrace left the house.

“Pak, I'm permission to enter if I pray,” permission Vina to his father.

“Iya,” replied Suharja while nodding.

Vina left her seat and entered with a slight relief, but only a little because of her more feelings still harbored concerns regarding Grandbo.

“Vin, if Grandbo already likes you, you will not be released just like that. He better lose a lot of money than not get his target,” Grice said when visited by Vina in the hospital more than a week ago.

Grice is Vina's best friend who is forcefully cheated on by Grandbo. The guy is beautiful.

With a thoughtlessness, Vina entered her room. He was still thinking about Rudi. Therefore, the first thing he took was hp.

His feeling was a little excited when he saw that there was a trace of Rudi's number calling in his cellphone. Vina hurriedly called back.

Tuuut tuuut …!

However, again only the tone of the call came in without being lifted, making Vina feel like crying. Then he realized that it was the time of prayer.

“Oh yes, Rudi is praying magrib. Maybe after the prayer,” thought Vina. “I should pray too. Yes Allah help me from Grandbo.”

Vina put down her phone, then came back out of the room to fuss in the back.

While the men were still busy talking in the living room, Vina performed a magrib prayer in her room with her sister Vivi. Before the magrib he had come home from teaching at Rudi's house and secured by his aunt Marawe.

Although long time no salat, even failed to pray at the time of the noble, but this time Vina salat earnestly.

However, when it was after the greeting, instead of praying or reciting, the first thing he thought about was calling Rudi. He hoped that Rudi had come home from prayer.

However, the result was again the same as before. Okay. Vina chose to wait a few more minutes. Finally, he chose to call his best friend who was in Jakarta to just vent, while waiting for Rudi about to come home from the mosque.

“Sya, Grice. He came to bring six guards to my village. Almost banged up here. Grandbo survived because her bodyguards carried senpi,” Vina said on the phone with a face that still showed anxiety.

“Have guessed it anyway, Vin. You will be pursued. But you don't have to worry so, you'll be in your family environment. It must be safe,” Grice said at the other end of the line.

After a call of about twenty minutes with Grice, Vina again tried her luck to call Rudi. But again the result is like that. Rudi was really annoying, as if deliberately dodging by leaving his cellphone.

It feels like Vina went to Rudi's house right then and there, but her mother was eager for her not to go anywhere, especially after the incident this afternoon.

He finally decided to call Junita. So surprised Vina when she heard what Rudi's attitude from Junita's lips. There was a pain in his heart hearing that Rudi did not want to interfere.

The pain ended with a smooth cry. Finally he had no intention to meet Rudi that night, including not wanting to call again. (BH)
