The Tears Of Wedding
Chapter 64 A1

Day by day, it keeps changing. Not feeling 3 days ahead of the choice or the day of the election for our village. 3 full months I and Guntur mas spend at night to travel from house to house. There was no house we passed. Both muslim and non-Muslim. Because by chance in our village there are 5 religions that live and coexist. Ziyah even I often leave it to Tika who is pregnant.

Even the candidate's house we entered, the intention of the silahturahim. Including Mr. Marhen's house. We just got there one week ago. There was no warm welcome at Mr. Marhen's residence. Chat is so stiff. Mas Guntur has every intention of entering the house of our citizens not to demonize other candidates, nor ask to be chosen. Kyai Damar who advised that the intention of the silahturahim to ask for blessing, not asking to be chosen. Let the people choose with heart not because we ask.

Toh giprah mas Guntur in the community so far can not be said cans. From the affairs of death, marriage, difficult people and some affairs of the stomach of neighbors who do not have rice was sometimes the Thunder mas took from in a bucket of paint, where I used to store rice.

Today my body is a little bit not fit. Because it's been two nights my house is crowded by supporters of Thunder mas who come to melek an or stay up late. I was this morning looking at the basic food that I prepared for the sagging event. Sugar and oil are few. I also saw the money that was saved.

"Oh Allah, it is not enough to be sagged. Not for the chicken, and the vegetables are also seasonings." I muttered as I looked at the money in the account only 7 million. We already have no money anymore, guntur mas even ready to owe later in the stall if it is less basic needs. I prefer the path of the heavens by asking Allah to suffice our sustenance.

So when H-2 I was made moved. When the money is 5 million, that's just enough to buy chicken for a side dish in the pitcher tomorrow night. People are flocking to my house. Some carry one kilo of sugar, some carry sweet potatoes, some carry bananas, some carry rice and some give some cardboard vegetable oil and mineral water that is almost 20 dus. But when I ask from whom, so that later I can return when the giving has a wish. No one has confessed. Even in the afternoon came some mothers who used motorcycles. They brought sacks. There's rice, sugar, there's vegetable oil.

"This is from our mothers who support the Thunder Kang. We can only descend like this. And there are some residents who may not dare to come here because they keep the feelings of their brothers who are also realistic but they support Mas Guntur." Said Ms. Reni who is none other than the head of the study every Sunday.

I cried today, really Help from various parties proves that the hoak that has been built to drop my husband's figure has not succeeded. My house is so crowded. Guntur deliberately did not invite anyone. He only relies on trust, for those who want to come to help monggo, if not okay. Arriving before the choice was a little worried, because the sense of anxiety was getting higher. And worry is like that too. Kyai Damar and Umi Ayu did not come to my residence, his reason for keeping the feelings of other candidates.

Tonight Guntur deliberately invited the worship of Rotib who had been for 7 years Istikomah followed where the assembly was taken care of by Kyai Damar. Some supporters of Guntur protested to my husband when the bakib assembly was over.

"Kang, why didn't you ask for support? What's the point of inviting the congregation if you don't ask for support." Said Cak Yassin who was a little disappointed because there was no Thunder mas session said his welcome and implored his support. There is only the usual momentum in the middle of the assembly Kyai Damar will utter.

'May all those present here qobul hajatnya, may be given health for all his family, and special wabil for qobul hajat Kang Guntur on this night. Al Fatihah's."

For Cak Yassin this is an important moment because many rotib pilgrims are not the basis of Suaara mas Guntur. My husband finally gave me an explanation.

"Kyai Damar is among the scholars who glorify science. And also assembly. The assembly of the rotab or shalawatan will not be made Kyai Damar a political event. A class of the House yesterday asked for a stage in this assembly, Kyai Damar refused it even though the envelope offered was quite tempting to build a new santri room. But Kyai Damar did not want to, let alone me who incidentally his student. Then I was always taught to honor this assembly." Mas Guntur.

I know that Guntur mas is indeed Istikomah in every assembly he follows, no matter if it rains or lightning. He will still leave because of Kyai Damar who always reminds me of Istikomah. The next morning was the time of the crash. I sent a message to Umi Ayu, asking what I should read, and whether we should fast as the parents said.

{Ndon't have to fast Ma'am, same with Mas Guntur tomorrow's party. Anyway prayer alone during on stage.And the intention remains for the benefit of citizens, the intention of worship }

"Yes Allah Kang... How did ndak say. Change clothes first. The other candidates were all already on the kang necis. Wear a kebaya, suit... I'm wearing that shirt." Protea Cak Yassin saw the batik couple shirt we were wearing. I've asked about the clothes to wear while sitting on stage on the day of choice. But Guntur was a relaxed comment.

"Make it easy we are helped by the citizens, you want to buy clothes just to sit on the stage.not to obey people. We are we. It's important to be clean, comfortable and appropriate." Mas Guntur.

Our batik clothes are indeed the mainstay clothes when going to meet. So the ranking often we use the color is no longer too bright. I kissed Ziyah. I leave it to Tika and Yadi, mother is still bothered to take care of the father who has 3 months of light receipts. Mak Ziyah I leave it to Yadi and his wife.

When we were on the stage all sat there, we came last. We sit in the number 5 sequence according to the Thunder mas sequence number on the sound paper. Only shalawat I chanted in my heart. All the candidates glanced at the Thunder mas who had been smoking also ate the snacks and bread that were on our table. I see all that is a candidate like fasting. There was no food or drink on their table. Cak Yassin even had time to rile because Mas Guntur did not fast on the day of the election. We just manut Kyai Damar and Umi Siti. Because he is our spiritual teacher.

And when the election was completed, I and Guntur mas also all candidates were asked to go home because they would count the votes. Me and Guntur prefer to sit inside the mosque. My thoughts were towards Ziyah. One day he didn't see me, I'm afraid he's fussing or looking for me. In the mosque we do a lot of misgiving. Not hoping to win, but hoping whoever gets elected he can bring our village even better.

Suddenly from the outside either the voice of who was shouting loudly.

"Yeahong! Positive Kang. A1 Kang's!"

"Hust! Mlebu. Kang Guntur jek wiridan."

{Do not enter, kang Guntur again wiridan.}

Instantly I and Mas Guntur hugged each other and I kissed the back of his hand. Not because we won. But there is a sense of happiness because we prove our abased teacher, our teacher who is always despised. Now prove if this is the result of the upbringing of Kyai Damar, Mas Guntur and Kyai Damar who during the campaign even in the words as animals from the start of piggy bank to Asu. It is now elected by 1800 citizens. Guntur won absolutely.

"Maturnuwun yai.." the sound of the weeping of Thunder was heard. This proves to the teams who from yesterday were busy asking for the Thunder mas to ask for help from shamans. Mas Guntur remained determined to stick to Kyai Damar. Although yesterday Kyai Damar actually asked Mas Guntur to come to sepuh poro which is considered shaman. And accept all their gifts. Not the intention of believing but the intention of respecting and appreciating the village elders. But one news made me and Guntur mas just immediately to the puskesmas.

"Umi Ayu fainted. Reportedly she hasn't slept all night and is pregnant young." Mas Yono.

We don't mind the hustle and bustle of the house. We put it on the times. We immediately visited Umi Ayu who was treated at Puskesmas.
