Young Fitri 20 years old, young girl according to her name. The girl who came from the island of Java, Sundanese tribe who happened to her parents migrated to the island of Sumatra, precisely South Sumatra. She grew up as an innocent, beautiful, quiet, and diligent girl. Because of his good temper, many neighbors liked him. Especially parents who have single children, interested in wanting Belia to be his daughter-in-law. Is Mak Susi, a neighbor of some hallway from the house of her parents, who is lucky to ask Belia to be her daughter-in-law.
Mak Susi, who knew her parents 10 years ago, since her parents moved from the city of Prabumulih to the city of Pempek, Palembang. It used to be the parents of the Youth, a successful as a rubber farmer in Prabumulih. After the land was out of contract and taken over by the relevant parties, Bu Enok and Pak Deden, the parents moved their families to the city of Palembang and bought a house in a public square in the city of Palembang.
"Amboiii, Bi Cik would love it if I'm a daughter-in-law You, it's diligent, beautiful anyway," Mak Susi praised Bu Enok who she called Bi Cik, for thinking Bu Enok is younger than her.
"I'm happy for Wak Cek, but it all depends on our children" Ms. Enok replied one day.
Unexpectedly, since the conversation passed one year ago, Mak Susi's wish finally materialized after Belia received the proposal of both parents Muntaz. Actually Belia at that time wanted to refuse, but seeing the closeness of her parents with Mak Susi, she finally accepted. Especially seeing Muntaz when it agreed and asked Belia to be his lover.
"Will you, Dek, be Brother's wife?" The young man was surprised to hear Muntaz's statement at the time. Even though he and Muntaz never knew close, even when they met only ordinary greetings. Unlike the relationship of his parents, they seem thick, not infrequently they help each other.
"Belia, accept Brother's proposal" he replied at the time. The beautiful-eyed yellow girl smiled down in embarrassment shortly after she agreed to Muntaz's proposal.
"Alhamdulillah, finally valid also our two children. They are legal to be husband and wife." said Mr. Deny the husband of Mak Susi, at that time. Bu Enok and Mr. Deden are no less happy to see the children and children of his best friends together at the guarantee. After marriage, Muntaz and Belia occupy a new house.
Half a year running, the marriage that has been lived is not easy for the Youth. Muntaz, her husband from the beginning never treated Belia well, her character was hard, and her attitude was cold, making Belia sometimes want to go away from her side. But Youth are not restricted in hanging out or going out to work. Maybe because there is no love in Muntaz, so Muntaz does not care if he wants to go anywhere. The important thing for him, the morning before leaving for work, he was ready for breakfast and came home from work there was food that had been served at the dinner table. Muntaz apparently likes home-cooked food.
"Bang, Belia go first" said the young man that morning. Muntaz who play HP does not care about Belia. Feeling neglected, she went to work. Tumben, Muntaz hasn't gone to work today, usually before Belia leaves, Muntaz has gone first.
The place of work is not far from home. A distance of approximately 500 meters can be reached on foot. Ten minutes later, he arrived in front of the Buana Bookstore. Pretty sweaty, because Belia lives in the city of pempek which is quite hot weather. And this morning even though it was still eight o'clock less, sweat splashed on his forehead.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, he came home from the store. As usual, he went home from shop to house on foot. Coincidentally at that time he passed Mery his best friend and Ayuk for him, because Mery is very good and has been considered his own brother. He is six years older than himself.
"Bel, I go first ye, I want to pick up the child lanang balek Karate," he said as he passed because he could not bring the boys along with his motorbike.
Arriving at the turn, Belia did not realize there was a motorbike in the back that almost grazed her, Belia dodged by bending herself to the left of the road and Young fell.
"Brugg, awwww!" her screech endured the pain along with the sound of her fallen body. The motor that was about to graze him, paused for a moment. He saw Belia, Belia thought she was going down and wanted to help, but before the gas hit, the driver who was suspected by a woman even pointed his middle finger and passed. Instantly Belia beristighfar and rubbed the chest. "Astaghfirullah."
The metallic red scoope motor with BG** was passing quickly, but Belia had her number in her pocket. The youth slowly stood holding the guardrail of the road, the good fortune of the got hit by his body did not collapse, if the ambrol address of his body was mired in a fairly deep got. Still good for the young.
Wounds in the temple due to the shock of the guardrail, and bared on his calves, knees, and ankles, signify that his body hit the pavement so hard. Although the young use a long skirt with trousers as a frame in it, but the friction of iron and road pavement, able to leave a bare scar that bleeds.
The young man grimaced, two mothers and a middle-aged father helping him and helping him to his feet.
"Mano your home, Dek?"
"Perum Bi Cek, is close," replied Belia with the local language.
"You biso dewe road?" ask middle-aged father.
"Biso Mang Cek, a little more up," he said, dampening the concerns of the three middle-aged people who helped him.
Not long before he got home, even though he took pains to endure the pain in his legs and temples.
