The Holy Marriage Storm
spirit woman
Suci woke up early in the morning, before the chickens crowed and before the mosque was crowded with worshippers who performed the morning prayers he had ended his sleep dream.
"Thank you very much sir for allowing me to spend the night here." Suci expressed his gratitude to the Burhan takmir mosque which was then after performing dawn prayers.
"Sama-sama. It's our duty to help each other." for a moment Mr. Burhan looked at Saints. "Holy Ring if you can know, where are you going?. If neng is still tangent, for a while neng can stay in this mosque first."
Sacred fell silent, he was really lucky to meet someone as good as Mr. Burhan.
"No sir. thank you for your attention before." Sacred smiled, a very beautiful smile was looked at. "I'll find a rented house. I don't want to trouble the citizens here sir."
"Alhamdulillah..." Burhan rubbed his face. "But..do the Saints have money?"
"for now not yet, sir. But I have jewelry, I plan to sell it."
"oh. alhamdulillah then. I'm sorry you can't help much."
"it's okay sir. For me this is more than enough."
"I pray that neng is always given strength and health."
"Thank you for your prayers sir." Once again the Holy one smiled beautifully.

at about half-time 8am, Suci decided to go to the jewelry store. There was no other way, he had to earn money. And the only way right now is to sell a gold necklace that has been attached to her neck for years.
A beautiful necklace given his beloved husband 7 years ago was forced to sell for his survival.
It was not just the jewelry she was wearing. There was still a single piece of pure gold ring on his ring finger, but the ring was not an indiscriminate ring. It was a wedding ring given by Adi.
"How much practice is this?" Holy asked one of the shop employees.
"I'll check first. Is the letter mbak?"
"If I don't bring his letters."
"oh. yes already then I check first yes mbak"
the shopkeeper left the Saints. A moment of Sacred thought returned to the past. She remembers how her beloved husband gave her a surprise birthday by giving her the necklace. There are initials A and S in the locket.
At that time his household with Adi was still fine. Before the arrival of the third person.
"Mbak.., mbak.., hello mbak.." the store clerk called the saint many times without any response.when the cute-faced employee was right in front of the Holy.
The voice of the store clerk blurted out the holy daydream. "oh yes mbak"
"We can only buy this for 5 million mbak. How's it? so what is not for sale?" ask the officer to Saints. " It's a pity that mbak, this is your step jewelry, we can not take it at a high price because there is no letter. If there's a letter we can buy over 5 million."
Actually Saints were reluctant to sell the necklace. But there is no other way, he can be odd jobs, but he may not have to stay in the mosque all the time. He had to find a contract or at least a boarding room.
"Yes, 5 million." Holy words with a flat tone.
Quickly the clerk took the money and gave it to the Saints.
"it's 5 million. Calculated first yes mbak. because later if there is a mistake outside the store, our side does not want to accept." The officer said with a sweet smile.
"Good." The saint nodded his head.
After exiting the shop, Suci walked in search of the angkot. Not knowing where to go, all he thought about was the village where he spent the night. There are a lot of good people there. But in that village there was absolutely no empty and contracted house. There is no cos.
A few minutes later Suci stopped an angkot. The cargo stopped right in front of him.
Saints quickly climbed into that green-colored angkot. There were no passengers. He sat alone in the back.
mr. driver who looks dusk. his face has been wrinkled. his clothes look worn. for a moment there is a sense of pity in the mind of Saints see the angkot driver.
"Where are you going neng?" Ask the driver.
"god..." The saint did not know what to answer.
"Neng bungung?" the driver asked as if he could read Sacred's heart.
"Actually I want to find a rented house sir. I think you know where the house is contracted."
"wow if the house is contracted there are many neng in my place. If you want you can take neng there."
"May sir, I'm very grateful that you'll take me."
"Sama-sama"
About 30 minutes angkot it down the road. passing high buildings, then into the village road and ended in front of a small alley.
The saint sees the left right. The atmosphere in the village was not too crowded, there were only a few mothers who passed by to the vegetable maker.
"Had arrived neng. We're the entrance to that little alley. about 20 meters there's some tenement house that's contracted."
"Good sir" Suci came down from the angkot. Walk behind the angkot driver.
20 Meters from the street, there are several tenement houses that are of the same design and color. The house, which measures about 4 x 6 meters, is not too small for one person to live in.
"This is a new house, there are still many empty. Who has my neighbor."
"The house is good sir."
"His name is also a new home. How does neng like it?. If I like it I'll tell the one who has a house now."
"Like it sir."
"The problem is easy price, later I can negotiate with the person." angkot grimaced. "It is important that you do not forget the percent fulus".
Suci smiled at the behavior of the old angkot driver. "The matter is calm sir".
"Look around first. I'll pick up who owns this house." The angkot driver left Suci.
"Wait sir"
"What's the matter?"
"Ehm... What's father's name?".
"Sir Shodiq."
Suci smiled.., from the first meeting in the angkot, Suci had not asked what the name of the Father was. Suci walked slowly down the terrace of the tenement.there are about 10 houses facing each other.
Of the ten houses, only three were newly inhabited. Suci knew the money he held would not be able to pay for 1 year. But he'll pay for the next half a year.
About 20 minutes Mr. Shodiq was back with a middle-aged mother.
the conversation continues. Saints are willing to occupy the house at a price of 3 million per half year. For a while his chest could breathe a sigh of relief. He's giving a little tip money to Shodiq sir.
"Thank you, neng." Mr. Shodiq put 2 pieces of red money in his pocket.
"Together sir." Sacred smiled faintly. "I should be the one to thank you.
Small minimalist house, there is one living room measuring 2 meters, one bedroom room measuring 2.5 × 3 meters and the rest of the bathroom is quite spacious.
Sacred looked into the room, there was a fairly soft mattress and a small cupboard beside him.
Saints sat on the bed, her mind remembered her husband. She misses Adi so much, this is not the first time she has lived without her husband. In the past, her husband often went out of town leaving her at home with her in-laws and Laras. Of course that was the usual thing, he could still communicate with Adi with a mobile phone.
Everything is 100 percent different now. Suci does not carry a cell phone, let alone carry a cell phone. The clothes are only attached to his body.
Saints began to get frustrated with his loneliness, there was a feeling of sadness that he could not describe. It was as if he was in a room without doors. Don't know which way to go.
Her tears slowly, though,
"No," Saints shook their heads. "I mustn't despair." his right side wiped the tears on his smooth cheek. "I must be strong, I must be strong."
Suci felt a stifling sensation in his body, since yesterday afternoon he has not changed clothes. "Do I have to go home first to get my clothes." Sacred remembered the harsh treatment of Laras. Remembering her husband who just kept quiet without defending her yesterday. "I'm not going back to that house, the money from the sale of the necklace is still there. "It's better to buy some clothes from this money. And after that I'll try to find a job."
