The Story Of Goddess Anjani
CHAPTER 6
They both reached Ratna's house, the distance they need to travel about 10 minutes from home.
"Assalamualaikum, Ratna's mother."
"Waalaikumsalam, you two, let's sit down first." replied Ms. Ratna as she told them to sit down.
"Mom get the money first yes," and Ms. Ratna went into the house to take the money.
Anjani and her sister sit on the porch of Ratna's house, not long ago Ratna came out while carrying money to pay for the cake in her message.
"Sorry mom, isn't this mostly?" Ask Anjani while counting the sheets that were loved by Ms. Ratna.
"It's okay, especially for you and your sister." Ratna is indeed a rich and respected person in the village, but she is not arrogant and not stingy.
"Thank you very much ma'am, then we excuse us, want to go home" said Anjani and they also say goodbye to go home.
On the road, they accidentally met Wanda who was out of nowhere, he rode the bike from the opposite direction and Wanda stopped the speed of the bike.
"Anjani...!!" Shouted Wanda from across the street.
Anjani stops her bike and Wanda approaches.
"Where are you from?" Ask Wanda.
"From Ratna's house, bring cake." replied Anjani.
"Where are you from? Long time no see." Anjani asked back.
"The whole story."
"The bottom line, I was forced by my father to go to college, actually I was tired of school, had been lazy to think about lessons." grumbled Wanda.
"You should be grateful, can go to college, try to see me, Boro-boro lectures, as long as every day can eat it thank God very much." said Anjani a little advise his best friend.
"I want to ask you something."
"Ask what?"
"Are you really going to lammar ustadz Malik?"
"You know where it came from?" Anjani asked back.
"The rumors have spread all over the surau." ledek Wanda.
The last few days Anjani did not go to Surau because the moon was coming.
Anjani bowed to hear the question from her best friend, followed by a sigh. He's riled up, worried.
"I..," Anjani hung up her sentence.
"Have, don't be upset, one moment you will definitely be able to accept it with all your heart." Wanda tried to shake her best friend's heart.
"I went home first yes, fear nyariin mother, the reason was that I left unselfish." said Wanda.
They finally stop the conversation and Anjani continues to pedal his bike.
"Sister, is it true that you want to marry ustadz Malik?" Tanya Vania who had been a listener since then, all her brother talked to Wanda.
"Not knowing Van, I'm still confused, I don't have a suitable answer" replied Anjani lethargic.
They both continued on their way to his home.

The clouds look so black with strong winds, it looks like it will rain soon. Mr. Tarno who was still in the rice field, rushed to go home, because the weather was so bad, he was afraid of heavy rain and could not go home.
"Jo,ayo came home, it looks like it will rain," Mr. Tarno called Bejo, his neighbor who was also in the rice field.
"Yes sir, wind is also too tight." Bejo decided to go home with Tarno.
On the way home, they both passed through a slippery rice field due to rain last night, the weather now can not be predicted. Sometimes the hot heat stings for weeks, and then a few days in the future there is very heavy rain along with strong winds.
"Yes Jo, wind is also very strong, I want to flood," said Mr. Tarno while holding the caping (head cover) using his hands.
They both staggered because they were hit by a strong wind. The drizzle began to fall when they were still in the middle of the rice field.
"Jo, how's this? The wind is getting stronger and the rain is already starting to fall?" Mr. Tarno started to panic.
"How about we take shelter in the cave first sir, while waiting for the rain to subside." Bejo's proposal was asserted by Mr. Tarno. The two of them walked towards the gubug not too far from where they were walking.
"We take shelter here first sir," Bejo advised as he put his hoe down.
"Yes really, rather than later we are rained, the distance of our homes is also still far."
Heavy rain mixed with the wind in together with the sound of thunder booming in the sky, making anyone who heard it must be goosebumps in fear. Plus, time has gone by afternoon.
At home, Mirna was seen from earlier in and out of the house, he was worried about Mr. Tarno who still did not come home too, heavy rain made Mirna increasingly riled up.
'O Allah, may nothing bad happen to the husband of the servant, protect him, O Allah'
Say Miss Mirna in heart, while constantly pacing hoping her husband comes.
The sound of a tree falling, seems to be befalling the houses of the people around. But Miss Mirna did not dare to come out because the rain was still heavy with strong winds.
"Mother why? From in and out?" Vania asked with curiosity.
"Your father, he's not home yet" said Mirna nervously.
"Where are you going to mom?" Ask Vania again.
"Go to the rice fields, heavy rain like this has not come home, so the mother thought,"
"O Lord, may it not happen to you, ma'am" Vania hugged her mother, who was standing by the window.
"Yes, may Allah always protect your father and may the rain stop soon,"
"Amiinn..," replied Vania.
In the cave where Pak Tarno and Bejo pack shelter, wind hit very fast, making the rubber shaken violently, until almost collapsed.
"Sir Tarno, what is this? It's raining more and more" Mr. Bejo began to panic.
"Yes Jo, I'm also panicking, the night will also come soon, if we go home now is also not possible, the wind is still tight, the rain is also getting heavy,"
"How about we spend the night here?"
"It is impossible that Jo we spend the night here, our wife's children at home must be thinking. We just wait for the rain to subside, then we go home," said Mr. Tarno and Mr. Bejo agreed.
They both started to feel cold, the rain had started to subside a little, wind was also not like before.
"Pak Tarno, already want to enter magrib, the rain also slightly subsided, we better go home now," asked Mr. Bejo.
"Yes already, we go home, hoe do not forget to take it, fear no one takes it if you miss it," Mr. Tarno reminded.
Finally, the two of them went home with hoes and walked back through the muddly and slippery rice field.
They also reached the village residents, and Mr. Bejo saw there was a house of one of the residents hit by a jackfruit tree, but only the terrace of his house and Alhamdulillah there were no casualties.
Many residents flocked to help the house mbok Ijah.
Fortunately the rain has subsided, so residents can take royong to help get rid of jackfruit tree wood.
Adzan Maghrib reverberated, Pak Rt said the same mbok Ijah, "Mbok Ijah, it's night, we will continue to help clean the house mbok Ijah tomorrow yes,"
And mbok Ijah agreed, "Yes Mr. Rt, thank you very much for the help,"
"Yes mbok, same-sama, we excuse you first, want to go to the surau for congregational prayer," Mr. Rt and also all residents say goodbye to mbok Ijah.
Mr. Tarno and Mr. Bejo also joined the farewell, they both went home and rushed to bathe to perform maghrib prayers.
