“I don't know what you mean? What's the matter, anyway?”
Once again Aat again swept the view to all corners of the surau room. There were some residents who were still sitting around zikr there, so it made him hesitate to tell the whole thing.
“We'd better find a safe place to talk, sir,” said the old man finally. “I promise, this morning ... I will meet Mbah at home.”
Mbah Jarwo.
“Alright if that's what Mr. Aat wants. I'm waiting for the arrival of the Father this morning.”
“Thank you, Mbah,” said Aat before saying goodbye. “Now I have to go back to Juragan Juanda's house and will soon come to Mbah Jarwo.”'s house
Justright. When dawn broke, Aat kept his promise. Coincidentally the road that passed to Mbah Jarwo's house had to pass through the direction of Sarkim's house. It was there that the two parents finally met again.
“ ... I think, my wife has been involved in this circle of problems, Mbah,” said Aat at the end of his speech later. “Entah, what he's been doing to Juragan Sumiarsih. I was thinking, maybe this has something to do with the plan that Sadam is working on. I don't know what kind of plan. To be sure, there is a triangle love story between Juanda, Asih and Sadam. Actually, I don't know yet. Especially to what extent is my wife's involvement in this matter.”
Mbah Jarwo and Sarkim simultaneously muttered and both thought after listening to the words of Aat just now.
“How according to Mbah Jarwo?” ask Aat later. “Mbah as the Village Elder can certainly help solve this problem, ‘kan?”
Mbah Jarwo glanced at Sarkim. Then said slowly, “Begini, Mr. Aat .. honestly ... about the relationship Asih with Sadam, I have known about it for a long time.”
“What?”
“Iya, Sir,” reply Mbah Jarwo back. “But so far, I also have not been able to ascertain fully the extent of their relationship. It's just that, about Juanda himself .. precisely this time I know it. That was from the Father, just now.”
“Keep, what has Mbah Jarwo been doing all this time?”
The village elder took a deep breath, then continued saying, “Yaaa .. I cannot do much, because this is about one's personal affairs.”
“But also endanger Juanda's position, Mbah!” urge Aat with a facial expression that depicts worry.
“It also includes Juragan Juanda's own personal affairs. Household problems she.”
“Certainly, what good is it then that I am tired of meeting Mbah if the results are only like this?”
“Please, Sir,” Mbah Jarwo said as he patted Aat's shoulder. “Regarding Sadam, I myself was investigating that person a long time ago. It's beyond the issue of his relationship with Asih, huh? It's different again.”
“What problems?”
Mbah Jarwo glanced at Sarkim for a moment.
“It looks like he was involved in another problem related to the case of the demolition of the Sukaesih grave a few months ago.”
“Meanway? I'm so confused.”
“If the matter of confusion, I was much more confused, sir,” timbal Mbah Jarwo. “Some irregularities I have found in the description after the information that Sadam had said before. Because the facts are even a lot of contrary. That is, there is a secret deliberately hidden by Sadam related to the case of the demolition of the grave of the late Sukaesih.”
Then Mbah Jarwo told about the discovery of evidence that was deliberately removed by Sadam, in the form of lantern lights found in the tomb of Sukaesih. It turned out that the lamp in question still exists and is stored in another place, a hut in one of the remote gardens owned by Juanda Juragan.
“O, yes, Mbah,” added Aat back like just reminded. “As for Asih, the woman was once caught by us, me and my wife, crying hysterically one night. He said, Juragan Juanda has been immoral to him.”
Mbah Jarwo's old eyebrows suddenly rose high. The same is true of the reaction shown by Sarkim.
“What? When is it?”
“A few weeks ago. It's been over a month, Mbah.”
“I never even knew it, Sir,” said Mbah Jarwo.
“I too,” timpal Sarkim both feel surprised.
Aat mangut-mangut-butt.
“Ya, indeed. The problem was deliberately stored and do not want other residents to know it, Mbah.”
“Then?”
“We still want to keep our master marwah, until last night .. Asih story is like contrary to the reality.” Then Aat said the results of his observation of the behavior of both of them last night, Juanda and Asih. “It is very impossible if there is a woman who has ever been tainted by a man, continues to decide to leave, then come back again with an annoying attitude that exceeds the behavior of a cheap classy woman.”
“Means Mr Aat?” tanya Mbah Jarwo and Sarkim in unison.
“Every night .. I saw, Asihlah actually who had tried to tempt Juragan Juanda, until finally .. the action also happened when Juragan Sumiarsih was lying sickly.”
Mbah Jarwo and Sarkim listened carefully.
Aat continued to say, “Blogically, if it is true that Juanda still loves Juragan Sumiarsih, it is certain that he will never want to betray his own wife by loving other women. In his own house. ‘Kan, weird huh, Mbah?”
“How long did Asih go to leave Juragan Juanda's house after claiming to have been treated inhumanely, Mbah?”
“Less kore ...” Aat thought-about for a moment, “ ... about biweekly, Mbah.”
“Father knows where Asih went for those two weeks?”
“I don't know, Mbah.”
“Is it possible to go back to his hometown?”
“If he does go back there, it is very unlikely that he will want to go back to see Juragan Juanda, especially with his sickening behavior.”
Mbah Jarwo thought for a moment. But suddenly Sarkim interrupted, “Maybe looking for a shaman, Mbah.”
“Do what ask a shaman for help, Kim?” ask Aat.
Sarkim replied lightly, “Yaaa, perhaps to use Juragan Juanda so that he fell in love and was infatuated with Asih.”
“Create what? Juragan Juanda ‘kan is getting old. While Asih itself already has a special relationship with Sadam.”
“Teoriya ‘kan like that, Sir,” reply Sarkim fierce. “Don't be seen from the age of his Jurag, dong, but also think about the wealth that Juragan Juanda has now. Which woman would refuse to marry a rich man? Moreover, the target target is a lonely husband who married a sickly woman.”
“Dragon your mouth .. hey, Young Man! You are so rude to insult my employer!” sentak Aat growled.
