“Bapak himself who fussed. Same kid himself just don't want to give.”
“Yes, Allah ... Ma! Istighfar!”
“Father whose horse has many istighfar!”
“Astaghfirullahal’adzim! Well, that's .. I already. Now it's Mom's turn.”
“Au, ah!” timpal Emak Sari rushed to the room, leaving her husband pensively alone in the living room.
Mbah Jarwo increasingly upset, but trying to resist the emotional turmoil that suddenly jerked behind the chest. ‘There-there's just this commotion material, ah! Where my business with my own citizens has not been settled, now even my own wife who takes care of. Astaghfirullah ..’.
Not long after leaving Emak Sari, someone gave a greeting from outside the house.
“Assalaamu’alaikum, Mbaaahhh!”
“Wa’alaikumussalaam!” mbah Jarwo hurriedly came out to greet. “Eh, Sarcoma. So apparently you came, Kim.”
“He-he .. ‘kan The rumored Mbah. Yes, I must dong dateng,” reply to the figure who just came. Sarkim. “About what you need, Mbah Jarwo sampe have me come to mari.”
“Huusss! Go straight to the core if you say, Kim,” said Mbah Jarwo while giving the index code attached to his old lips. For a moment he looked back or precisely into the house. “Chat elsewhere aja yuk, Kim.”
“Lho, why, Mbah?” ask Sarkim astonished.
“At home again there is chaos,” replied the old man in a voice almost whispering.
“Huru-hara? Meaning ... Mak Sari again marahan with Mbah Jarwo?”
“Well, that's you understand. Come on, let's go somewhere else.”
“Where, Mbah?”
“Yaaa .. We go first while looking for the place.”
“No coffee, Mbah?”
“Astaghfirullahal’adziim ..” Mbah Jarwo stroked the chest several times. It was upset because there was a commotion with his wife, now even added a new bias. “Ya, Allah .. Please spread this heart!”
“Why else, Mbah?”
“Street!” mbah Jarwo's snapping was suddenly fierce.
“I-yes, M-mbah! A-ayo .. we walk!” said Sarkim was frightened to see the old eyeballs of the figure in front of him.
“Astaghfirullah ..”
...------- o0o---------...
“What?!”
The old eyes of Mbah Jarwo again widened in shock after hearing the speech from Sarkim about Asih.
The young man stared intently at the figure of the elder in front of him with a feeling of fear. “Iya, Mbah, Ceu Asih went from Juanda's Juragan house. He was no longer seen there since yesterday morning,” said back Sarkim repeated his story a few moments ago.
Mbah Jarwo snorts. There was a grouchy look from the bias of the old face. Then say while setting foot on the ground, “Aneh .. Why does Juanda not tell me? Usually every time there is something, he will immediately call to come to his house.” Many times he shook his head as if he had not fully believed what he had just known. “Terus .. where did you know that Asih ran away?”
“Not blurred, Mbah. But go without saying goodbye,” timpal Sarkim tries to justify.
"What difference does it make, stupid!?" Mbah Jarwo again glared fiercely. “Go without saying goodbye or without permission it's name is blurred. Understand you?”
“Ooohh, so yes, Mbah?”
“Indeed!” The old figure was annoyed. “Continue, what do you know about the news, Kim?”
“About Ceu Asih?”
The young man was stunned for a moment with the jakun moving down and up like he was sipping his own saliva. Then followed by a rubbing movement of the neck.
“Later after you tell me, we'll find a coffee shop. Want?” tanya Mbah Jarwo immediately understood and greeted biased eyes of Sarkim flowery. “Serious, Mbah?” tanyanya grinning.
“It. That's why the hunt says!”
“Ah, alright, Mbah,” said Sarkim semringah. “Begini ...” He started telling me, “pm yesterday, I accidentally met Kang Aat in the field, Mbah.”
“Terus?”
“Then I was with Kang Aat chatting for a while and without being asked ... Kang Aat told me about Ceu Asih, Mbah.”
“Iya. Continues?” Mbah Jarwo is still trying to be patient listening to Sarkim's words that are considered slow and long-winded. “News continue, Kim, without having to I ration further ‘gitu. Okay?”
“Good, Mbah,” replied Sarkim accompanied by a movement of mangosteen.
“Hhmmm ...” The old figure swallowed. Dry and annoying.
“According to Kang Aat yesterday, Ceu Asih left Juragan Juanda's house quietly .. without anyone knowing.”
Gluey!
“You know the reason why Asih went from there, Kim?”
“Because, I don't know, Mbah.”
“Terus?”
“After Kang Aat's follow-up yesterday, I found out why Ceu Asih ran away from there. I see, Mbah.”
Gluey!
“What?”
“He ran away from Juragan Juanda's house for leaving without saying goodbye, Mbah.”
“Astaghfirullahal’adzim!” Mbah Jarwo's voice half screamed and asked Sarkim to recede back to avoid. “Couldn't you speak directly without me muter-muter continue like that, Sarkim?!”
“Can, Mbah! I can!”
“Aarrrgghhh!”
“Sabar, Mbah ...”
“Hih!”
DUK!
The heel tip of the old foot hit the ground hard and left a rounded mark like a squeeze of half an egg shell inside.
“Yes, Allah!” muttered Sarkim surprised instead of playing. Then without asking him to go back to continue his expression earlier. “ ... What I heard from Kang Aat yesterday, previously Ceu Asih told Kang Aat and Ceu Elim that Ceu Asih one night talking to both of them in a state of crying.”
“Crying?” Mbah Jarwo's eyelids narrowed small. “What happened? What because of time events ..”
“Oh, not because of that, Mbah!”
“Then?”
Sarkim dyed to all corners around before answering, then brought his face closer to Mbah Jarwo's ears and said slowly. “This has to do with ... Juanda Scouts, Mbah.”
“Hah? You mean?”
“According to Kang Aat that ...” Back Sarkim whispered a certain sentence near Mbah Jarwo's ear with great caution. It was as if he was worried if there was someone who had listened to the chat between the two of them at the place.
“Serious of you, Sarkim? You didn't hear wrong?”
“I'm still young, Mbah. Just married not yet. My cup must still be healthy wal’afiat,” replied Sarkim affirming accompanied by a pouting face, “tbut .. I was in doubt, Mbah, Mbah, is it possible that Juragan Juanda could go that far doing bad things as Ceu Asih? While Juragan Sumiarsih, his wife, is ill.”
Mbah Jarwo snorts. He refused to answer. His gaze was then deliberately diverted from the look of Sarkim's eyes. Benak Kampung Chairman began to be filled with various questions. ‘Don't know, I was confused myself, Kim. For as long as I've known, Juanda was famous for his distress. It is impossible for him to act that far if he is in need of a wife figure back,’ he said to make his own. ‘If he really wants Asih, why is the woman involved with the Sadam? Ah, so many problems that I have not been able to reveal in this village.’
