THE MOUNTAINEER'S STRUGGLE
Epsz.16

Cindy woke up, her head spinning seven rounds. His stomach hurts, wrapped around. A glass of water and milk is available at the table. Mbok Darmi must have prepared for him.

"Mhc ...!" call Cindy

"Wake up, Nope. Thank God, the Mbok is very grateful, Mas Yudis last night who drove home. If others are afraid to do evil the same Non. Judis was a good man in contrast to the rest of his friends. Mr. Mbok please, Non, don't drink alcohol anymore. It's not good for health. Fear of nothing if you are drunk. Not all friends are good. How about ... "

Mbok Darmi could not continue his speech. Afraid to imagine that Cindy will become a victim of crime. Even rape.

"God .... Mbok, my friend is all good, why is Mbok the same old Judis all? You guys are so pretentious to organize. I know all my friends. So don't mind my life. My parents never took care of who they were friends with. The party was ordinary. A little drink is okay. Not every day."

Mbok Darmi was silent. His good intentions were not positive. Mbok loves Cindy. Fear of bad things happening to the beautiful girl. That's why it's always chatty.

"We care about you. Not to set you up."

The voice of Judis made Mbok happy. Hope that young man can change Cindy's attitude. Complaining to her parents. After all, those who teach what a party is. Not even the support that will be obtained.

"Mbok is old-fashioned. Let it. We live in the modern age. Must be able to keep up with the times."

Mira only sneered when Mbok Darmi complained about Cindy's hoby party attitude. Not advising his son instead support his son to be a party enthusiast.

Judis sat in Cindy's bed. No need to excuse me anymore. This house is like his second home. Judis easily came in and out.

"Why has my sister changed? There was never anything wrong with my lifestyle. Everything's fine. Big brother's thinking took a step back now. They all said wrong. What's the tattle, brother?" ask Cindy pout.

"Have you ever had a hard time when you wanted to go to school? Just imagine that your stomach is hungry due to lack of food. Your feet hurt when you have to go to school barefoot. Got to fight over food with more than one of your brothers."

Cindy scrunched her forehead. Baffled. I don't know where her boyfriend's saying is going.

"There's a girl your age. He just has to fight for school. Naked feet and wounds when going to school. Your life is too perfect. Are you thankful?Your academic grades are ruined. Your life is only in use for hurrah, party here and there. While there are many out there who are not as lucky as you. What are the benefits if you drink alcohol and party here and there?"

"Sir, why is it so pretentious to rule my life now?"

"Because I love you. Can you hope that my life companion is a shaleha woman?Closing aurat. Good at taking care of himself. I want an exclusive companion just for me. Don't want everyone to touch, just me. Just be mine whole. Hijablah, Dy. I want to see you in a covered dress and stop in the world of modeling."

"Hahhhh, hijab? Me? Wear alien clothes? Brother wants me to leave the world that raised my name? Never, if you don't like it. You please leave. Leave me alone. Don't disturb my life anymore. Ok!"

"Ok, That is your choice. I hope our relationship will continue to the bottom. Ok. Your age is not enough for us to get married. But, I hope that if you mature later we can get married and you've changed better."

"Married? No kidding. I don't want to live on anyone's order. Please leave. From now on we're breaking up."

"OK, deal. I have one last gift for you. May one day, you will knock on the door of your heart. If that day comes. Wear this for good without ever letting go again. Make your life choice until the end of life, "said Yudis put a paper bag in Cindy's closet. A box with a green wrap and a pink ribbon as accessories.

Cindy refused to see let alone open up. So Judis kept. In the hope that one day it will be opened by Cindy.

Judis leaves behind an emotional Cindy. His steps are so light. No hurt, sadness or tears accompany the separation. Heart relieved. The burden that was squeezing seemed to disappear instantly.

I've been trying to change. But, it's all your choice Dy. May one day come. I left because you made me retreat. I let go because you wanted to throw.

Not without fighting, but you're not worth fighting for. For you the world of showbiz is more important than reaching a mutual despair. Marriage is not a dream but a bondage that will keep you in check. May you be happy with your choice. Finally, God's destiny also requires us to separate at a crossroads.

Cindy slammed her body. I want to see how long you've been gone, Judis. My charm will bring you back soon. You'll get to your knees asking for it back. A cynical smile was drawn on her sensual lips. Convinced that Judis was only bluffing and would return in a moment.

Ayu paced in front of the glass. Appearance is plenary. Looks beautiful with a light blue color kebaya. The side cloth is already in the as neat as possible. The matching color veil is also arranged in such a way.

Today, school farewell. I hope to be able to arrive on time. Should have come from earlier ojeg order. Fifteen minutes have not arrived. Today is so special.

It is not good if the misfortune on the last day is present at school. Hopefully the nickname of late queen is not pinned on the day of farewell.

"Sorry, sir, my bike broke down. It seems like you can't drive Ayu. Punten. Teu intentionally."

Samar Maman's voice came saying sorry. I could be heard talking in the courtyard and my voice could be heard in the room.

Ayu pulled out with a difficult step. Highheel and side shoes worn troublesome step. The barefooted man laboriously reached the courtyard of the house.

"Oh, sir, how do you keep Ayu?"

"We're looking for another ojeg, Neng. Patience first. Hopefully soon," entertain the real father is also confused.

Ayu just shut up, resigned. What else to do. Screaming is useless too. Though it can be counted with the finger ojeg who stopped by in this silent village. There's no way to walk around in clothes like this. Let alone kilo meters of mileage. Some steps are difficult.

"Sir lecturer! Yes, sir, it's Ayu." Ayu replied slightly blushing. Maybe the make up on her face was too excessive. Not a professional make up. Only simple makeup by Bi Sumi polishes itself.

"Pangling, it's so pretty." she praised. Not insulting or being taunted. That mountain girl looked different. So graceful and beautiful.

"thank you. Thank goodness."

"Where are you going?"

"School farewell, lecturer sir. But, ojeg order broke down. It's again confused looking for a vehicle," samber Emak kayak fire licked gasoline. Lightning.

"Yes already, I just take it, I happen to have to go to Sumedang. Isn't Ayu a school there? Let all go." The handsome lecturer named Yoga Haditama offered his services.

"Alhamdulillah. Thank you, Mr. Lecturer. Come on, kid, up! Finally you get a ride." again replied Mother encouraged Ayu to join Yoga.

Ayu had to agree. There's no choice. This is the only solution. If you refuse, then of course bad luck.

Motor running at medium speed. Leaving a smiling mother. Hoping if the lecturer becomes Ayu's soul mate. The dragon dragon young widower the one boy, put his heart on the princess. Hope you fool them.

Ayu bumbling. Stiff. Tensional. Sometimes clinging to iron. Long dodged. Why this day should even coincide with Yoga.

Ayu knew from the gaze of the student guidance lecturer who was in the middle of KKN was storing flavor. Ayu is always looking to help all work programs while in the village. It makes Yoga know Ayu close.

Slowly began to admire the personality of the white ash. See if Ayu is any different. The row of students who seek a stage in the heart is no longer interesting. Lose with the charm OF THE MOUNTAIN CHILD.

"Fresh hold! Sitting on the side is very risky. Just hold on to my shirt," Yoga pinta. Occasionally stealing glances in the rearview mirror. Funny to see Ayu looking at her face stiff.

Ayu did not answer. Just shaking his head.

The streets are starting to be friendly. It's been a year on the asphalt. Travel time can now be cut a few minutes faster than usual. Ayu also did not see dust flying when the drought arrived. The muddy and slippery soil when it rains is no more.

"Yes, sir, in Shea Allah is safe. I'm a regular." Ayu replied.

Reply late because it even imagines someone who is still enthroned even though how long has passed the time. Yudistira Hadi Wijaya. The shadow of togetherness as it is huddled in the middle of the rinai dances in memory.

"Yes, if it's uncomfortable please say. Don't hold on to the handle."

Yoga was a little disappointed. Maybe a hug will be obtained, he hoped. Yoga smiled wryly. This is Ayu who even if asked subdues the view. Dream if you hope to get a hug.

Ayu. The shadow drove by in the bell of Judis as the speck of rain danced in the eyes. I don't know when I can forget the young doctor's face. Still reluctant to move. Always disturbing the mind.

Asphalt village has changed hotmik road. Ayu is speeding on the protocol road now. The motor starts slowly.

Yoga is careful because Ayu is not wearing a helmet. I also don't want to get to the destination. Want to get close and steal the sweet girl's eyes.

\*\*\*\*\*

A red BMW is driving at a moderate speed. A handsome young man inside. Engraved a smile full of hope. He was about to find a white rose from the mountain slope.

Hoping not yet in the pick of people and become a decoration of the pot. Hopefully it's not too late. It takes a little time to convince yourself of his feelings. Trying also to play with destiny because it does not want to ignore the human nature in itself.

After breaking up with Cindy and trying to invite her to hijrah, but rejected raw. It's destiny's answer. I have to find the white ash that always haunts my mind and mind.

Judis saw clearly the gaze of love also from the eyes of Ayu's son. Mountain girl's first love on the opposite sex. Doesn't first love ever disappear? Hope that still boils down. I'm coming for you, Ayu. May destiny bring us together. Yudistira muttered while busy driving an iron train.

Car speeds are slowing, lethargic. Loose as the driver. Right in front of Ayu's eyes was being screwed by a man. Handsome, charismatic, also looks highly educated. Attractive appearance with gallant structure.

Ayu looked as clumsy and tense as before. His face was still terrified close to the Brotherhood. Maybe it was the choice of his parents. It is no secret that in the village of matchmaking is commonplace.

The man looked happy and carved a relentless smile. Seen to invite Ayu to talk. Ayu replied despite looking reluctant.

O God, my roses are in the hands of men. Though today it looks so beautiful with kebaya and simple make up. It was completely different from the white ash without footwear.

Judis turned his car around. Fear and hope are lost. True regret came later. If you had no doubt, you might be right next to me. The broken wing of hope is brought back.

Papa .. sorry I couldn't keep the promise of bringing home the dream daughter-in-law. The car is traveling at high speed. Bringing hope that has died.

To be continue~
