The Story of the Children of the Juragan
207. A commitment
Salman went back into his room. He sat on the balcony and dialed his wife's phone number. It just so happened that Wulan was online, so a call from her husband was immediately picked up.
Wulan's voice when saying greetings sounded loud. So that made Salman who had just arrived in Surabaya, immediately kangen. Only a few hours later, the two separated.
The two expressed each other's longing. Salman deliberately delayed telling about it, because he did not want his wife to be anxious. When I get home, he thought.

After finishing Isya's prayer, Salman exited the room.
Some of the room doors that are along the hallway of the hotel, also open alternately. It turned out that the ones who came out of the room were Salman's comrades.
They walked to the restaurant at the hotel. They looked like teenagers of the same age playing together.
In fact, they are willing to come all the way to gather and discuss the development of their respective counter businesses.
One by one of them, sitting around the table that had been booked before. To enjoy dinner together.
The event at night was still quite relaxed. Because they only had dinner together while exchanging stories. While the core event, tomorrow morning at eight, is just about to start.
Most of them left this morning. In order to relax for a moment at the hotel, while preparing what will be discussed the next day.
From a distance, a beautiful young girl was looking for the man who helped her this morning.
The girl was peeking out from behind the door of her room. As Salman walked hand in hand with his friends, it flashed in front of his room.
Because he had not yet bathed, and his body still smelled of alcoholic beverages, so he was ashamed to block it.
The girl was interested in Salman. Because it was only him, the only man who was not tempted by the poignancy of his body. And out there, there are plenty of people waiting to get it.
After momentarily circulating his gaze, finally his gaze locked onto the figure he was looking for. A curved smile adorned his face. He rushed to her too.
"Hi." said with a friendly smile, when he was near Salman.
All the men surrounding the table turned to the girl. Including Salman. He showed no surprise at all. Despite knowing, if the woman in front of him was the one he helped this morning.
"Hi, thank you. It was helped."
'Why is his expression so flat? Like the notice board.' the inner girl.
While the other friends of Salman, began to beat loudly, while grinning. It seems to know what is going on between the two.
"Sorry, I'm interrupting your time with your friends. We can meet again. I already know your room." said the girl before leaving the entourage of handsome men, counter businessmen.
"Wow. Someone wants to be sandwiched into his room, brow." chirped one of the entourage.
"You too dong." reply the others. Salman, however, showed a much different reaction.
"I've married. Please don't bother me. I just happened to help you. Don't overdo it, by saying thank you while playing to my room. Appreciate yourself." Salman said.
Salman's comrades as well as the girl, rounded his eyes. They did not expect Salman to openly acknowledge his married status. At a time when most men say their status is still single when outside the home.
The girl was forced to display a faint smile, while passing away leaving the horde of counter businessmen. He really didn't think there was such a man.
She dressed up as beautiful and attractive as possible. But still Salman did not glance, let alone shake hands.
He was insulted by Salman's treatment. But there is also a sense of challenge. To find out to what extent Salman can strongly defend his heart.
"I wonder what his wife is like. To the point that she rejected my charm. Just watch out for you. I will definitely get you." he muttered as he slammed the door of his room. He then threw the bag in any direction. Then take off his shoes and throw them in any direction as well.
He took the drink that made him float, and forgot about Salman.
Meanwhile at the restaurant, Salman's colleagues praised him, for daring to acknowledge his status. But there were also some of them who sneered at him, for refusing to be approached by such a beautiful woman.
Salman did not bother with the words of his colleagues.
All are free to think, and to do as they please. But keep in mind, everything we do on earth will get its payoff.
Salman has a high level of commitment. He would not hurt a wife. Because the wife is the heart of the household. Good is bad in a household, depending on the way the husband behaves with his wife.
