The Bungsu fell silent. Then they went to the room because it was late at night. Since all the rooms are full, then she is forced to one room with Mei-mei. Fortunately, there were two beds in the room.
“Sleep Moy-moy. Tomorrow we look for your mother's family in Kampung china.” he said slowly
“Coko does not sleep?”
“Yes. I will also sleep. But I will pray first”
He then changed into a cloth sheath. Then to the bathroom. Mei-mei hasn't fallen asleep. He saw the young man praying. He saw the body of that young man. Soft-faced or more appropriately said moody. The light of his eyes is glaring. When the Bungsu finished praying Isa, when he turned to say hello he saw Mei-mei had not slept yet. Still staring at him. He smiled at the girl.
“Not sleeping Moy-moy?”
Mei-mei shaking. Then sit on the side of the bed. The Bungsu was still sitting on the floor with a mat. Mei-mei moved to sit down, sitting not far from the Bungsu.
“What prayer shop ?”
“Isa ..”
“Why should Muslims pray five times a day overnight ?”
“Because so God's man ..”
“Not tiring?”
Bungsu looked at Mei-mei. She smiles. Questions once filled his skull first. When his father always told him to pray. At that time he was not just asking, but even defying his father's orders. Not to pray. Do what you pray, he thought. The opportunity to
joy is youth. Later when it is old, then pray. After all, pray five times a day a night, how often. Why pray not once a week, or at least once a day. It might be lighter.
But when alone on Mount Sago, when he prostrated himself to worship God in the wilderness, he felt how serene his heart was and after the prayer. He felt how much God was protecting him. He felt a sense of peace every time he finished praying. He felt like he got energy and a new spirit finished praying. Yeah, that's the point. Finding peace and tranquility, finding new zeal and energy, after doing the Lord's commission. Slowly he answers Mei-mei's question, though,
“There is no tiring work, if the work is done with ihlas. Especially if we love the job Moy-moy”
Mei-mei looks at.
“You ever prayed Moy-moy?”
Mei-mei shaking.
“Timing time with my mother once prayed. But since my mother died, I have never done it again ..” said the girl while looking down.
But they had not had time to lay themselves on the bed, when there was a noise. The noise was followed by the sound of banging on the door of their room.
“Hei apex inside. Open this door fast”
A heavy voice sounded commanding. From the Minang-speaking voice, the Bungsu immediately knew that the person outside was the man from this area. She stared at Mei-mei who was bowed at the edge of the bed. Then take the samurais. Then step to the door.
“Just relax inside Moy-moy. Don't open the door if I told you to.”
“Koko ..” the girl ran hugging him.
“Tenace ..”
“Don't leave me koko ..”
“No. I'll be back ..”
“I will kill myself if koko leaves me.”
“Tenace. Well door lock ..”
He appeared in an alley outside his room. In front of the door, the rough-toothed man upright ruffled his waist. As soon as he appeared, the man blocked his arm. Then pull it in the middle. Push it until the Bungsu is lined up.
“This apex that waang say it Pudin?” the man of rough stature said.
The Bungsu looked at the man. And he immediately came back to recognize the five men who tried to rob him earlier. There is also a bus driver.
“True. He is Datuk ..” replied the Skinny.
The big man nodded. While the other residents of the inn did not dare to show their face. They feel more secure being in a meeting under the covers than meddling in the affairs of this one person.
“Waang has injured my men buyung. It can only be paid for with two things. First with the entire contents of the package that waang brought. Or if the waang objected, then it must be waang pay with life waang and body bini waang ..” and the big High was spit.
Almost got his sputum on the Bungsu's head. The Bungsu stood still. His boredom appeared to see this man. He recalled again the story of the two women who were the same one bus with him earlier.the story of the robbery committed by the Minang people against people who traveled by bus. He saw, other than this tall Great, there was still another friend of his. They now have nine people. Only to be astonished in his heart was the bravery of this banditry who had appeared in the middle of the city. It seems that they do not feel the slightest fear of the Japanese Kempetai.
SERIATE...
