The Shy Duda
Come month

Evening arrived, after finishing teaching his wife various kinds of religious lessons, Fadlan was calm because Zidan slept in the dormitory son because of the task and memorization, until finally he studied with his friends. While Pipit, he had already stayed at Sarah's house, although there had previously been minor dramas because Pipit wanted to sleep with Rania again, fortunately Sarah gave understanding until finally Pipit according to to stay at his grandmother's house. Sarah persuades Pipit if he wants to have a baby sister, Pipit must want to stay at Sarah's house. And finally Pipit will with reason and thought if tomorrow he will get a baby brother.

Fadlan had been rendering at the end of the bed waiting for Rania to come out of the bathroom, but in fact the long-awaited had not come. Rania is still in the bathroom. The shy former Duda kept glancing at the bathroom door, not yet open, Rania had been almost 30 minutes, until finally Fadlan looked worried.

Fadlan approached the bathroom and knocked on the door.

Tok to tok.

"Rania what are you doing?"

"Before a while."

Fadlan thought his wife was on a nature call until she sat back on the bed.

Cekleeks.

The door opened but Rania only showed her head.

"Mas husband, can ask for help not." said Rania. Fadlan nodded and approached.

"Why?"

Rania tells Fadlan to do something.

"Buy me sanitary napkin, I'm coming for the moon."

Fadlan was already smiling bitterly.

"You're coming to the moon?"

"Hmmm, I'm sorry again. The second night, third to ninth we are cold first. Continue on the tenth night. We'll rap our show later." said Rania.

Fadlan nodded, although a little disappointed but understood.

"Buyin sanitary napkin ya mas." pinta Rania back until Fadlan frowned while scratching his neck.

"Buy where?"

"Diwarung Bi Ratna, or in the nearest shops in the pesantren region" said Rania.

Fadlan stared at the wall clock.

"But at this hour the stalls are closed."

"Then buy it in the mini market, I see near the boutique Aunt Anisa there is a mini market."

Fadlan recalled that near the boutique there is a mini market.

"Yes buy it, you wait here."

Fadlan resigned, but he was embarrassed if he had to go to the mini market to buy pads only.

"Don't you take it long."

Fadlan went to the mini market on foot. When he reached the security post, Fadlan was greeted by Yudi and Judah who were on the night watch.

"Assalamualaikum mas Fadlan."

"Waalaikumussalam om twins."

"Where are the nights like this?" ask Yudi.

"You go to the mini market."

"Mba Rania did not participate in the mas?, need no guard, fear Fadlan mas kidnapped, Fadlan mas will look adorable in the eyes of the widows." said Yuda. Fadlan was already smiling while shaking her head.

"No thanks to Yuda."

After making small talk, Fadlan finally continued his steps. The twins kept staring at his disappearance.

"Mas Fadlan and Mba Rania will host the next few days on earth, and we neighbors are only considered contracted by the newlyweds."

"Yes, maybe this is the fate of our old bride."

"Hmmm, lose to the newlyweds."

Arriving Fadlan in a mini market whose buyers are quite a lot of belonging to all mothers. Fadlan felt awkward and embarrassed, especially he was there just to buy pads. Fadlan had gone around looking around, and when he found it, he just stared at some pads with various brands. His hands seemed to wear iron and steel bracelets until it was difficult to lift to take pads. The shame mixed with shame he felt when many mothers nearby were choosing goods.

"Are they gonna laugh at me if I just come here to buy a tampon???" fadlan's inner self is now beginning to doubt.

Fadlan went back around to slow down the clock for the mothers to finish their new shopping and freely picked up the pads.

"O Allah, may the mothers be finished shopping soon so that I am not ashamed to take the pads. Aamiin aamiin yes rabbal alamin."

But in fact Fadlan's prayer has not been granted, mothers instead of going home even more and more come to shop. Fadlan was getting frustrated until finally he took whatever goods were nearby but not pads. Fadlan went straight to the cashier and paid for his groceries which were mostly snacks. After getting out of the mini market he slightly ran towards the security post.

Arriving at the security post, Fadlan immediately met Yudi and Yuda.

"Assalamualaik."

"Waalaikumussalam already bought Fadlan?" ask Yuda.

"Not yet."

"Not yet home, that's what's inside the crackle." point Yudi at the original groceries taken.

"It's for the twins, but I'm asking you to help."

Yudi and Yuda seemed happy when he was given a grocery that contained the snack.

"Thank you Fadlan, but what help?"

Fadlan whispered to Yudi.

"Oh ok, what size is it? Which S M L what's XL?" ask Yudi until Fadlan immediately fell silent.

"Is there a size, right?"

"Yes there is dong mas, it will be if the smallness can not be made" said Yudi.

Fadlan instantly twisted the brain.

"What size is Rania sais?"

"Maybe XL Om."

Yudi has gone.

"Si Pipit diaper size is very big."

"Ok mas I bought it, Fadlan's waiting here."

After Fadlan gave her money Yudi immediately slid into the mini market and bought Fadlan's order, after completion he returned to the security post and gave it to Fadlan wrapped in white plastic.

"Thank you, Om Yudi. I say goodbye, Rania is waiting at home. Assalamualaikum."

"Mosur."

Fadlan rushed home and gave it to Rania who was still in the bathroom.

"Thank you, husband."

Rania closed the door again. Fadlan was already waiting on the sofa of her room. Suddenly Rania shouted.

"MAS HUSBANDSIII."

Fadlan was surprised and approached.

"What's Rania?"

Rania opened the bathroom door with a frown and showed the pempes (baby diapers) size XL.

"Why did my husband buy baby diapers?" Rania grumbling. Fadlan was also surprised, he did not check first the groceries purchased by Yudi.

"Sorry Rania, I don't know if it's a baby diaper."

"You can't know, you bought it." Rania wonder.

"That's who bought om Yudi, mas shy if buying pads to the mini market. A lot of mothers are shopping." said Fadlan. Rania breathed a rough breath.

"I'm sorry, I tried to go to Umi's house, who knows if I have."

Rania just nodded.

Finally Fadlan went to Sarah's house. But it turns out Sarah has no stock of pads.

"Try into Silmi's house, who knows she's got" Sarah said. Fadlan nodded and immediately went to the house of his cousin's sister who is now staying at the house of Usman ustadz because Faris was going to the city of Y.

Tok to tok.

"Assalamualaik."

"Mosur."

Ustadz Usman opened the door, astonished to see his nephew coming night and night.

"What are the nights here. You didn't get kicked out of Rania your magical wife, did you?" ask ustadz Usman. Fadlan shook his head.

"I'm here no need to be with Silmi."

"Tumben you wanted to meet Mimi."

Shortly afterwards Silmi comes after Usman ustadz calls her.

"What are you saying, sister's tumben looking for me these nights" Silmi said.

Actually Fadlan was embarrassed to reveal it, but he ventured to whisper to Silmi afraid of being caught by her Om.

"Have no pads, Rania is coming by the moon. It was the wrong mini market to buy." said Fadlan.

"Oh wait a minute, I'll take it."

Ustadz Usman started kepo.

"What are you whispering to Mimi?"

"Sorry Om this is a male secret." replied Fadlan until Usman frowned.

"You think your Om is a sissy." Ustadz Usman grumbled. Silmi arrives and gives Fadlan three pads.

"It's brother."

"Thank you, Silmi."

Ustadz Usman had withstood his laughter seeing Silmi giving a bandage to his nephew, he knew for sure Rania was coming the moon.

"I'll say yes, Assalamualaikum."

"Mosur."

Ustadz Usman was already staring at Fadlan's departure.

"Pity my nephew, who just broke his fast after five years, now he has to fast again. Patience Fadlan, maybe it's a test. And it looks like you're being tested for patience."
