The morning was bright, the sun was so warm that it overshadowed the village of Sukadami. The cheerful faces of the farmers waltzed the kale excitedly towards their respective fields. Conical hat, Hoe attached to the shoulder, right hand carrying a pot of drinking water stepped with full staring at their future expectations.
"Assalamualaikum.." said someone in front of Mahmud's house.
"Wa alaikumsalam.." Mahmud said and several voices returned greetings simultaneously.
Mahmud who was chatting lightly with Abah Dul, Gus Harun, Basyari and Baharudin while enjoying a cup of coffee and fried cassava immediately left the guest chair.
"Monggo, monggo mang Bakri, want to go to the kebon?" welcome Mahmud to the 50-year-old man standing in front of Mahmud's house, complete with farming equipment.
"Yes Mud, today I want to spray, I want to take fertilizer," said mang Bakri.
"So the cab when to start harvesting mang?" ask Mahmud.
"A little more weekly again Mud, yes it's easy - hopefully the weather is not as bad as yesterday-past day," replied mang Bakri.
"Permaine... I'll take the fertilizer for a while. Let's go next to the mang," Mahmud asked and then stepped to the side of the house.
"Yes Mud" said mang Bakri.
Mang Bakri is the person whom Mahmud trusted to take care of his caboose garden. He has worked for Mahmud for quite a long time since Mahmud Mangalih functioned his farm which was originally only in the cassava plant into a chili garden.
"Who is Mas?" tanya Dewi looked up from the kitchen window to see Mahmud walking with mang Bakri.
"That mang Bakri want to take Wi fertilizer," said Mahmud.
"Oh," muttered Dewi then continued cooking for breakfast for his guests.
Mahmud then took a fertilizer packed in a sack that was lying in the corner near the kitchen window assisted by mang Bakri.
"Do you bring everything or half a mang?" ask Mahmud.
"Half aja Mud, just keep it from being infested by pests before harvest" said mang Bakri.
"Oh yes already mang, this is the fertilizer mang," said Mahmud gave half a sack of fertilizer on the mang Bakri.
Mang Bakri also received it with a little hassle because of the equipment he brought. Hoe on the shoulder, left hand carrying a kettle of drinking water.
"Can't you take him mang?" ask Mahmud.
"Can, can Mud. Not this heavy," reply mang Bakri carrying sack filled with fertilizer with his right hand.
"Mang Bakri's! Mang Bakri's...!" the Goddess exclaimed from the kitchen and then came out.
"Ya Wi," said mang Bakri stopped his steps and turned his body.
"This is a cassava fritters, good enough for a snack in kebon," said Dewi gave a bag of fried crackles with cassava on mang Bakri.
"Chess suwun Wi, let's Mud" said mang Bakri and then continued his steps to leave Mahmud's house.
After the mang Bakri was no longer visible back, Mahmud returned to the living room to gather again with Abah Dul, Gus Harun, Basyari and Baharudin.
"Dul, Gus because the condition is safe, Bahar and I will go home this afternoon" said Basyari.
Mahmud, Abah Dul and Gus Harun were a little surprised to hear that. Especially Abah Dul and Gus Harun, both felt hard to part with friends of one struggle at the same time in the boarding school.
"Loh, loh... We just met Bus a day, Har kok cepet-cepet mua go home," said Abah Dul.
"Yes Bas, Har, stay in one day for two more days" Gus Harun said.
"It just so happened that in the pesantren in three days there would be a haul Gus event, so we had to go home" Basyari said.
"Hehehe.., happened to be Basyari asked me to fill out the tausiyah at the Dul ceremony. Yes Bas?" baharudin replied, looking at Basyari.
“Iya Dul, Gus, so we took the time to come here all you want to invite you also to come to the haul event in my pesantren. Kang Mahmud also joined ya,” said Basyari.
“Inysa allah kang Bas, that too if Gus Harun da Abah Dul wants to invite me, hehehe..” said Mahmud a smile knot.
“Then we leave together from here. All the friends of Basyari and Baharudin are taking care of the collection of goods that were robbed,” said Abah Dul.
“Lah, yes yes. How about Mahmud kang?” ask Gus Aaron.
“Mm, god willing can Gus. But this is not what this house in all stay?” Mahmud looks gamang, he just thought there was no man in the rumannya.
“God willing safe kang Mahmud. The situation is back to normal, isn't it Dul?” sahut Gus Harun's.
“Iya Mud, I don't think there will be anything else,” timpal Abah Dul.
“Oh yes, which Kosim kang? How come it doesn't look like kang?” ask Gus Aaron.
“From dawn Kosim has not been out-of-room Gus,” replied Mahmud.
“Did kang Kosim already go yes. But if he has left why not say goodbye to us,” said Gus Harun.
“What is possible Kosim slumber?” mahmud asked guess.
“Waduh!” gus Aaron has arrived.
“Why Gus?!” ask Abah Dul.
“Danger! Danger Dul!” sergeant Gus Harun.
“Danger?!” sahut Mahmud, Abah Dul, Basyari and Baharudin.
“We forgot to remind kang Kosim,” said Gus Aaron.
“Reveal what Gus?” asked Abah Dul curiously.
“Iya this will be a horrendous event again if kang Kosim and mbak Arin to have sex,” said Gus Harun.
Mahmud, Abah Dul, Basyari and Baharudin immediately gasped in shock. It did not cross their minds in the slightest until they thought that far. Because last night everything dissolved in the joy of each, so do not think of Kosim who was in the room with his wife and child.
“Punten, let's have breakfast first..” said Dewi suddenly nongol in the living room.
Chat about Kosim was immediately stopped to see the appearance of the Goddess who invited them to breakfast.
“Mm, Wi.... Arin is awake yet?” mahmud asked the Goddess to stop her steps from going back in.
“Have you, she's taking a shower, why mas?” the Goddess asked.
“Oh, no. No matter what..” reply Mahmud.
“Let's have breakfast first,” continued Mahmud invites Gus Harun and others.
Hearing the answer of the Goddess who said Arin was bathing, made the thoughts of Gus Harun, Abah Dul, Mahmud, Basyari and Baharudin immediately look at each other in turn. It seems that they have the same prejudice in their minds that Kosim and Arin have had a husband and wife relationship.
And if that happens and Arin becomes pregnant, it will certainly cause prejudice to Arin. For everyone knew that Arin was a widow whose husband had died. Not to mention Gus Harun's worries
growing up if Arin really got pregnant and gave birth to a child from his relationship with Kosim whose form is only a spirit, there would certainly be an impact on the baby.** CONNECTED
