SERUNI
CHAPTER 32 Remuk
Hearing Seruni's voice, Sayaka was without guilt and instead calmly stood up while holding a cat in her arms. "Pity him. His feet are like stepping on people. The road is not straight. Good thing I saw."
Seruni stroked her own chest. No matter where you are. Apparently the fairy of Sayaka's astonishment is still awake. "Yes, we're in, yuk!" bring him.
"Yeah!" timpal.
"Yes, come on." Sayaka is following. However, Seruni was again made amazed because his chosen lover did not release the cat in his arms earlier.
"Bang, the cat," remembers Seruni.
"Let me take her inside, Nduk. Pity him for his own path. His feet have not recovered properly. Itung-itung kangen drugs same mpus."
Sayaka's spontaneous answer made Seruni and Shakala exchange views. When it comes to animals, Sayaka is second to none. All the worries and feelings of carut marut that accumulate in the chest during being at the Seruni house earlier, as if melted with just one hug. The mpus hug.
Although it is not actually so. The cat was actually just an impingement and a momentary diversion. At every step, Sayaka was still thinking about what else would happen. Even until when he was here, it also crossed his mind.
"Bang, you must not bring an animal from the outside inside. Let go of the cat. It must also be a stray cat" whispered Seruni as they approached the entrance counter for a ticket check.
"It's a zoo, right? Why can't mpus?" ask Sayaka.
"Yes because inside it is devoted to certain animals that have been treated with the same manager, Ka. If there are other animals from the outside, it is feared that the animal is not sterile and even carries the virus for other animals" explained Shakala. Like explaining something to a schoolboy.
Seruni wanted to be upset, but what power, before him at this time was indeed Sayaka. His tender heart, even to an animal. Grateful for the loving soul and the help of his lover, it's just that sometimes he feels Sayaka's attitude has also been excessive when it comes to animals.
Finally the poor cat was also released by Sayaka. After washing his hands. He also took Seruni's hand. What an unexpected thing, because before, Serunilah took the initiative to do it. Again, Shakala had to refrain from seeing the intimacy.
Sayaka looked even more excited as they entered the area of the ferocious beasts. The man was so painstakingly reading every explanation board about the animals in the cage. Shakala and Seruni could only smile. At least, they have made sweet memories for Sayaka while in Surabaya. With hope, the man could one day feel at home in the city of Seruni's birth.
Satisfied around the first zoo in East Java, Seruni, Sayaka and Shakala decided to eat typical Surabaya food in one of the parks in the city center. Although the building is only made of tents, stalls with the name of rawon calculator stalls are very crowded with visitors.
"We go straight home or where else? Come out so all of you. Do you want to buy souvenirs for Mr. Sajad and Ms. Sajad?" shakala asked in the middle of their meal.
Sayaka wants to buy souvenirs. This was his first time away from his hometown. But what power, the money he has is really limited. The problem is, he also does not know what will be in the form and how much it will cost. Not a calculation, but Sayaka is always realistic. He is not a salary worker every month. He is only a farmer and a rancher who earns money at the earliest three months after the harvest has arrived, or when his cattle are already qualified enough to be sold.
The three continued their afternoon meal without any more chatter. Seruni and Shakala looked so greedy to finish the food in front of her. Not so with Sayaka, the man's tongue is still very foreign to rawon. The black sauce laden with spices made Sayaka pray in her heart. Wish her stomach was fine after finishing it.

They had just arrived back at the Seruni house when the time was approaching Maghrib. Subroto was apparently preparing to perform the three rakaat obligatory prayers. Sadewa is also still there. Both parents were compact to wear a sarong combined with matching colored takwa clothes.
"Ser, give the same glove to Shakala and Sayaka. I wait in the mushola. Bathe fast, no one catches. I don't want to be late for a minute." Maghrib." Subroto pointed at the pile of cloth on the middle room table.
"Yes, Dad." Seruni answered while taking the object in question, then distributed it one by one to Shakala and Sayaka.
The two men immediately followed in the footsteps of Seruni who wanted to show the bathroom they wanted to use. The gaze of investigating Sadewa cannot be separated from the figure of Sayaka. Considered a rival of his son, so far he has not found anything special that can make him understand why Seruni can prefer Sayaka rather than his son.
***
On time Adhan, all had gathered in the Mushola Seruni house. The awkward atmosphere was so obvious that Sayaka felt. Being in the midst of people of social status and highly educated, again forced him to question the speed of his assistance Seruni.
"Prinet the prayer, Ka."
A subtle command-pitched voice came out from Subroto's mouth with a pat on his shoulder, not only disperse Sayaka's daydream, but also managed to make the man stutter. "Sa-my, sir?" tanyanya pointed at herself.
"There's another Sayaka?" Subroto asked back.
Sayaka of course immediately shook her head. After taking a deep breath. He immediately took the front position himself.
"Bismil was bornrahmanirrahim .. I certainly can," Sayaka murmured inwardly. Encouraging himself.
The three rakaat obligatory prayers were started. Sayaka drugged worshippers with her excellent surah readings as well as her melodious voice. Prayer this time, feels more shahdu and also khusyu. Especially for Seruni. At least, those there should realize, Sayaka is not a mediocre young man. Behind his attitude that often looks trivial in the eyes of others, there are actually so many advantages possessed. It's just that, Sayaka herself also still confine herself with a dominant inferiority.
"Ka, I want to talk to you together after praying Isya later. Shakala wants to take her father to his Buddhist home. Tonight, you accompany me" Subroto said shortly after shaking hands with each other after praying.
