THE MOUNTAINEER'S STRUGGLE
Epsz.19

Ayu walked over with a look of wonder. What's wrong with his appearance. Why did the host stare as if he wanted to swallow roundly. Perhaps the wrong decision to follow Yudishthira, but if not then where to spend the night? Ayu sat down clumsily. Their eyes are scary.

"Sorry, what's up, huh?"

"No boy, there's nothing, you look like mama Judis, the deceased.we're so moved."

"Sorry sir, I was told to wear this shirt with Mak Inah. I've been sassy."

"Oh, not at all. I told him, Mother gave Judis her clothes. Sit down Nak, we eat," said Om Wijaya invited his guests to sit in the dining room

"When can I go to the tea house? "

Om Wijaya looked at Judis. As if to say, let's answer! Responsibilities.

"Sorry, Yu, Utari is out of town. He left this afternoon. You stay here only. God is safe."

Judis was confused. The lie is torturous. So it bears the wrong word. Safe. Why should I say that. His house is not a predator's nest. Hadeuhwas. Finally got the stone.

"Oh my God, I'm sorry to trouble you. I'm interrupting."

"No, son, do not hesitate to consider your own home, " said Om Wijaya. Started to be amazed by Ayu's polite nature. His face was so peaceful when looked at.

They talked. Exchange news in the village. The night was late when it all started. Lose a tired body after a day of activity.

\*\*\*\*\*

Morning greet. Long before the sun shone on the earth, Ayu was awake. Help Mak Inah cook in the kitchen after performing evening prayers.

"No need, Neng, just rest," prevent Mak Inah when Ayu helps.

"I'm used to cooking in the furnace at dawn. It's not unusual to sit still. We cook together, Mom."

Mak Inah is silent. Lightly hands this girl. Very good at improving and flexible in homework. Mak Inah loves this friendly and beautiful girl.

The dishes are available. Everyone gathered for breakfast together, including Mak Inah. Rules in this house there are no barriers between the maid or the employer. All equally. Any food enjoyed together.

"What a meal Mak this time" praised Om Wijaya.

"The prospective father-in-law who cooks, not me, " Mak replied glancing at Ayu.

Ayu who was drinking choked. Shocked by the old man's words. Wrestling. I don't know what this face looks like. Surely his face was like a boiled crab, a morning meal in front of his face. Blushed.

Judis swiftly patted Ayu on the nape, neutralizing Ayu by giving him another glass of water. Grogotinya. Ayu you make me happy. We keep the same taste.

"Aamiin ya rabbal alamiin, hopefully come true, Mommy. That's what I expected" raptor Om Hadi Wijaya.

Ayu is getting clumsy. It feels like you're in a trap hole. Being a bully victim. Non-polytic. Want to go under the table or take a tablecloth to cover his face.

"You agree that Ayu is a ghost?"

ask Judis.

"Well, when do we go to propose?" ask Mak Ijah.

"As soon as possible, yes, right, Dis," teased Om Hadiwijaya.

"God willing." answered Judis. His eyes glanced at the sweet girl who looked so awkward.

Ayu just shut up. Stop please stop. Don't make me a game. You guys think it's funny, but not to me. Don't know if it's an old dream. I can only dream. Fear if after waking up all turned out to be just wishful thinking and dreams. Be ill.

"I'm sorry, if I'm being rude to ask for help. Can I get to the nearest terminal? I have to go home soon."

"I'll take you home. Afraid to ask why the father's daughter went missing one night. I will be responsible." Judis replied.

Dah, as if he had done what. Be accountable. Whether your father or mother will hold a hearing. Judis lebay's. Just say you want to drive. Om Hadiwijaya smiled. There's a reason for this, boy.

"No, thank you. I can go home by myself. Later troublesome," reject Ayu smooth.

"I'm on leave today, no activities. I want to talk to the villagers. Haven't seen them in a long time."

Ayu quiet. Cook should reject kindness. Judis's service cannot be reciprocated either. There is no reason to refuse.

"We finish breakfast and go home, Ayu"

Ayu continued to eat breakfast with no taste. Already lost hungry because of the bully rame. Moreover, the occasional gaze of a friend makes him uncomfortable.

\*\*\*\*\*

Bandung-Sumedang trip is not a moment. Ayu sat in the front seat quietly. Clunky. His heart was always beating abnormally.

Kece creatures on the side are also confused what to do. It's over bully just glancing and don't want to tease anymore.

Tensional. What if there is Yoga in Ayu's heart. In vain is his struggle. Should lose that sweet girl. Ayu looks so beautiful. His face has changed. Natural white skin and simple appearance it will be more beautiful if the professional makeup polish.

The car is running at medium speed. The occupants are silent. As if there is no topic to talk about. The heart is a million words. Chirping like a bird nonstop. However, the mouth is locked.

The hotmik road has changed. Simple asphalt is now slowing down the pace of luxury cars. Ayu already told me if the car can get in easily. The road is on asphalt. So Judis brought his favorite luxury car.

"Quick change, the road is on tidy asphalt now. Electricity is also installed. Wow great. Panglings. I haven't been here for five years. A lot has changed" said Judis, opening his voice.

"Alhamdulillah, now the construction has stopped in our village. Hopefully the title of the village left behind will soon be lost"

"Hopefully so, Alhamdulillah is finally almost there. That's not a Yoga car ?" yudis asked to see a car parked in Ayu's yard.

Waduh, the lecturer has come first. Hopefully not have expressed the intention to propose. Judis was a little scared. A really tough competitor. Weight class.

Ayu get off the car. Just set foot. Sisil's welcome has come. The girl ran over to greet and called Mama.

Ayu carried the tiny body. Kissing her cheekbones. The atmosphere of competition is getting stronger. Yoga and Judis stared at each other with a look of dislike.

They entered the house to greet the father and mother who were confused.

"Sir, these two are like they're ready for war. My mother was confused if they had the same intention. Especially if you go to a virgin's house if you don't propose. Confused which one to choose. Both are of the same quality"

"Stt, don't be noisy. Quiescent. They'll hear. Take a drink with food," he elbowed.

They finally sat down to talk. There's no end. Ayu entered the room. Do not listen to the Brotherhood speak. Choose to lay yourself on the bed.

Sisil was engrossed in playing with Ayu's sisters. They are familiar even though they have met for the first time.

Judis. Remember the words of his father. Forward, Dis. Good things do not delay. Don't be a coward. Show me you inherited the blood of the general. Don't just shut up. Fight for Ayu and take her home as a ghost.

Judis took a breath. True must say the intention of arrival or not at all and be a loser.

"Sorry sir, actually the intention of coming here in addition to bringing Ayu safely to the house is ... "

Cringggg

The voice of the cell phone interfered with Judis' speech. Incoming call. Judis shut.

Jingggg.

Again, the second call arrived. Judis.

Third, the call was not bored.

Yudis was about to turn it off again but Utari's name now made her stare at the monitor screen in confusion. It should interfere in the moment of life and death. For you to disturb concentration.

"Thank you first, doc, who knows the emergency call, "yoga advice

Judis remained silent. Happy you, lecturer. I almost said I wanted to ask. Distraction comes.

I hope it's an emergency call. You have to come back and I can ask Ayu. Yoga please.

Call passed. Judis took a breath to continue the delayed speech

Cringggg

The fourth call finally managed to make him press the phone handle image, a sign of the call received.

Judis walked to the side of the house.

"Yes, wa'alaikum greetings. What's the matter Dance?"

"It needs to go back now. There was a consecutive accident in Bandung. All the doctors have intervened. We're short on surgeons. There are some patients who need to be operated on immediately."

"Oh my God, you can't change another doctor. I'm on Dance leave, please. I'm absent once."

" All has intervened, Doctor Judis, we are short of medical personnel. I know you're at Ayu's house, but your patient is waiting here. They're dying. His life is in your hands. So back, now ! Their threshold lasted for at least three hours before their wound was infected. Now back to the now !" cut Utari across there.

"Today is also about my dead life, today want to propose Ayu to his parents. If not, I will die. Dying. Please, there may be other solutions. It concerns my future, Dance."

The voice of Judis was. Why eat the fruit of the malakama. A very difficult decision to make. Judis wanted to scream for a little while so that his affairs would run out.

"I'm like people don't have faith, Dis. Your soul mate, Allah has arranged. Inget promise profession. Oath of your department. Human life is more precious. If Ayu is for you. He's not gonna run where. Eventually it will be a couple. But, lives here will fall. You will regret it all your life. Whatever. That's your life. You who lived. I'm just telling you as a professional friend." Utari hung up the phone rudely.

Judis limp. I'm sorry, God. Dance correct. The lives of some people are waiting to be saved. But Judis is a war with the heart. Forgetting the profession vows. Sorry melatiku. I gotta go home. I leave you to God. If you are made for me, I will take you with the army as a bride.

Ayu eavesdropped behind the bamboo wall. Sobbed. Our love is the same. Honey, at the last moment instead had to separate because of the call of duty. Sis, your words the other day want to make a candidate not a joke. Why does destiny separate. Destiny is not on our side.

Judis must finally be ready. Leaving the Father who still asked continued his words.

Judis leaves with the jasmine left to fate. Hoping if the pujaan is a woman created from her ribs. I will be a soul mate one day. They will be united in halal ties.

Yoga expressed the intention to propose Ayu, after the death of Judis. Want to crochet a day together. Requesting permission to take Ayu to pelaminan. Father did not answer. Ask for ten days to take a bath.

The decision will be made in the next ten days. Ayu must be istikharah first. Asking for clues about his future.

Yoga is asked to come without being accompanied by family first. If yes, then one day in later bring troops, officially proposed.

Sumringah yoga face. Hope will be real. The shadow is already a shadow ahead. Mother for Sisil will be present soon.

\*\*\*\*\*

Ayu pensively herself under the banyan tree. Empty look. Occasionally see the path that snaking down there. A very beautiful display.

Ayu wanted to scream loudly. Today we have to make a decision. Want to run as far as possible. Waiting for Judis to come and become the second choice to ask for help also not to be present.

I don't know where you are, brother Judis. Have you given up knowing Yoga came to ask. At least, if you come to father I can discuss your name in my istikharah.

I feel alone. There used to be a place to share. Now they're somehow doing it. Long time no see.

"Guys, I miss you guys. I need you guys. Help me in this difficult time."

"Well, we're here, " said Irniaty clutched her best friend tightly.

"You guys, when's it coming? How do I know I'm here?" ask Ayu.

"Your letter is late, I immediately call all. We had some free time today so we came. Sorry late. He told me you were here. We came straight here, " replied Nurasiah.

"We are there for you, hopefully the decision you make is the right one. Don't beat the feelings. What is good in our opinion is not necessarily good according to God. Believe me, the best." Eva stroked Ayu's shoulder.

"How's the result of your Istikharah, Yu?" Ask Thien.

"Everything is still vague. I was confused, " said Ayu while cupping her palms in her face. Closing his eyes and letting the cry erode some of his load.

His four best friends drifted away. Judis suddenly came and squatted down in front of Ayu who was sitting at the root. They let the two lovebirds solve their problems.

"Juice!" the Call of Judis.

The cry of Ayu became even more, even so longing that her voice now sounded so close. Can you forget, Judis.

"Come, I came for you. Is there still a chance? Sorry to keep you waiting."

Ayu looked up her face. Judis was standing before. Engraving a sweet smile was only a few centimeters away.

"Sister Judis, is this really you?"

Ayu stared in disbelief.

Judis nodded and smiled. Happy to see you, Ayu. Sorry I can't come soon.

"Sister is too late. Decisions must be made today. Pak Yoga has asked Ayu to Father. Ayu has made her decision today. Brother can't be an option. I just told Ayu to choose yoga or not. There is no reason to refuse yoga. Sorry, sister, I have to choose yoga as you wish." Ayu crying.

"Father advised, Ayu should choose between yoga and Yudishthira. Which of us is in our hearts. You support all Ayu's decisions."

Ayu was flabbergasted by the words of Judis. Since when did Judis enter the list. Didn't you stress last night receiving Yoga advice.

"Before coming to this place, I met you. He can't decide anything. Just, try asking directly to the concerned, he said. When I said I wanted to propose"

"Is that really what you said ?" Ayu assured her hearing.

Judis nodded. His hand reached into something in his leather jacket. A ring and a bunch of edelweiss flowers with a pink ribbon on hand.

"Well, will you be my makmum and companion in life? If yes, please take flowers. Wear this ring too."

Judis knelt down and stretched out the two things. Ayu Nilar's eyes. Edelweis flowers. The ideals in the lamar with the flower symbol of love are now so real. Ayu sobbing. Is this just a dream or is it really happening.

Ayu's best friend nodded his head. Signs agree ayu receive. All smiles in their cries. Ayu's dream on the sermon with edelweiss flowers came true. So sweet's.

Ayu's hands were trembling. Slowly he took the ring and the edelweiss flower, without touching the hand of Judis. Run towards his best friend. Crying with laughter at the same time.

Judis stroked the chest. Just pass it by. Though ngarep the hug will be given to him. Judis smiled. It's Ayu, Dis. Not an ordinary girl. Where to touch before halal.

A pair of eyes behind the wheel looked at the scene from afar. His hand hit the wheel hard. Angry, angry, sad mixed into one. His net became a witness to the happiness of Ayu and Yudhishthira.

It should have retreated. His eyes bore witness to the twinkle of love between Judis and Ayu. But ego rules. Unwilling to admit. Now the message of destiny is also the answer to all questions.

Congratulations, I did infiltrate between your pending stories. May you be happy and end the story with marriage.

Yoga goes with carrying wounds. The wings of hope are broken. A bouquet of red roses was thrown away with anger. Destroying the hope of giving mother to a beloved child. I'm sorry, son, it's not time for you to get your mother's love. Someday the best mother will come for you. I hope that.
