Tsunami Wedding
53. Story with Wak Santi

Three days later Paktua Kodir had returned to Sukawin village without taking Khadijah and Riska. During these three days also Khadija and Malik relations like Abang-sister or like friendship between male and female. Malik only returns home during the day, while at night he must return to Adelia.

This afternoon Malik came home lethargic, Khadija did not cook because Malik did not give him money.

"Not cooked, Jah?"

"Went waiting for Brother to come home, want to ask for money but if there is nothing to be colonized by instant noodle debt at the Wak Santi stall."

"Study is still a long time, Jah. Eating no noodles pa-pa, right?"

"Yes already, Bang." Khadijah went to the Wak Santi stall, until there it turned out that Wak Santi had just come from the city.

Yes, Wak Santi is often in the city, especially if there are children who are still in school there. While the husband stayed in the kebon because of work.

"Assalamualaikum, Wak Lanang ..." Khadijah called the husband of Wak Santi because he thought it was the youth who guarded the stall.

"Waalaikumsalam" said Wak Santi.

"Well, Wak! Wak Lanang apparently Wak Wedok is also here. When's coming?" Khadijah immediately hugged him because he already considered Wak Santi as his mother in this kebon.

"So! Eh, that should be Uwak. when did you come? Masya Allah, Uwak glad you returned, Jah. Your choice is right, do not want to lose with the Pelakor, Masa' pioneered it the same we, the same difficulty we eh people just enjoy it."

Khadijah smiled, "Recommissioned also because of Riska, Wak. Only Risk is the only reason Colonized survives. Colored had wanted to smart people to escape Bang Malik, uh there was a hitch. Seized sense is not destined to lupain Bang Malik yes, Wak."

"Astaghfirullah, Jah ... Jah ... Why 'believe the same."

"That's, Wak. Sejah desperate nian, there instead can escape Bang Malik even keep remembering. Maybe God is angry just as Colored huh, Wak."

"Do not believe the truth, you pray at night, pour out your heart to God. You prayed and dhikr up to a thousand times, in your heart intend for your husband to open his eyes. Uwak saw that he never prayed in the mosque again, maghrib-maghrib he could buy cigarettes here."

"That means there's that demon," Wak Santi said with a chuckle.

"Indeed yes, I do not pray."

"So that woman's been living?"

"Wear it still, Wak! The day she came home, the same night the woman. Sometimes I think, how rich Bang Malik is so great."

"Patience to you, Jah! God does not sleep, we will see where they endure. God has destined the best for you."

"Yes, Wak. Honestly aja Sejah already feel bodo very same Bang Malik. He wants to be there, go! He wants to come here, it's up to him. What matters is that payday is earned. Sejah is not tired of eating him, wash his clothes. The one who was taken care of was Riska doang."

"So what do you guys have for lunch?"

"Usually Seized with Bang Imran, Wak. But now --- Oh my God! Sejah forgot, Colored here want bon noodles first even ngota (story)."

Wak Santi chuckled at her, "Yowes! What noodles do you want?"

"It's hard to boil, Wak."

Wak Santi took Khadijah's order and gave it to the woman. "You're young, still beautiful. Mumpung no lakik straight, you should take care of yourself. If you're a pretty rich artist, Wak is sure your husband won't turn away. Don't turn away, look the other way not."

Khadijah laughed, "Wak can do it."

Although Khadijah said that, he also thought about Wak Santi's speech. Maybe Wak Santi was right, he thought.
