Sunburst looks embarrassed to bring themselves up, only emerging from behind the cracks of the leaves that are still wet. The sound of birds chirping sounding melodious warm the atmosphere with fresh air that began to penetrate the smell, the sound of people's activity in the morning seemed to be heard back and forth with their vehicles greeting each other kindly.
Ajeng was silent in his sitting position while serving the buyer, occasionally he fumbled carefully the amount of money given by the buyer and returned him trying not to disappoint the buyer.
“Yang strong yes Jeng.”
“Lagian you Jeng, already know Pandji his son kayak so still you accept his invitation to marry because what the hell?”
“Because of treasure times bu!” timpal someone's tucking.
“Hus Bu Yanti!” the other warned.
“This is so how much Jeng?”
“Mother buy 5 so the total is 25 thousand.”
“This yes Jeng his money pas.”
“Iya Bu.”
The silent atmosphere came back, the hordes of mothers left after gossiping. Ajeng was silent, it had been a few days since the incident at the house of Atmajaya, some people seemed to pity themselves and give advice. He could only smile, there was not much he could do.
Some of them justify Ajeng's actions, but some of them also look down on Ajeng who wants to accept Pandji because the family property of Atmajaya such as Yanti ma'am, for example, is common for Ajeng.
But, his thoughts were on Si Mbok who also had to bear the shame, the old woman who raised a blind daughter who was left behind by her parents because of her shortcomings.
Sweating and flooded with tears, with a smile and a prayer Si Mbok always give his affection, and advice for her to be a strong girl like today.
The Mbok always said, ‘Do not until you are enslaved by the words of others, sometimes you can hear the input of others, but if you lose your identity, you lose your identity, then you must be firm with your stance, you do not ask for food from them, do not stay with them, do not live from their money, so take good his bad waste.’
“Sabar yes nduk, the talk of mothers here do not need you to be horrified, anyway what they are talking about is not necessarily true.”
“Matur suwun pakde.”
The man smiled then rubbed Ajeng's head like his own child, “Pakde knows you are a strong child, keep looking after the Mbok ya.”
Ajeng nodded, it had already become his duty, keeping someone very meaningful in his life.
“Pakde please take me to the next village.”
“Why Pak Wahyu?”
“I want to learn Lele business, there is Lele business is already famous, its enthusiasts even from outside the city, I heard also have even been imported because the quality is not kidding.”
“Wih I did not expect youh, the owner I denger is still young, graduates of vocational school kampung here.”
“Proud of me if that is so,” Ajeng just silent listening to what two men are talking about who are not far from him, he knows who they mean, he said, but again not many know about Pandji who is successful as a breeder Lele, yes that is.
“Cah ayu, Pakde ngojek first yes. If you want to go home wait for Pakde, let Pakde anter.”
“No need Pakde ngerepotin, anyways jerk go home kok.”
“Yaudah, greetings to Si Mbok from Pakde ya.”
“Iya Pakde.”
The sound of the motor engine that is turned on is heard, Ajeng can only smile to greet behind the greetings of the man with the gear motor, “Loh Rum, why are you out of the house?” ask the passenger of Pakde.
“A-arum would like to meet you Ajeng Pak Wahyu.”
“You can meet Ajeng, but never talk about Pandji in front of Ajeng!” persemat Pakde before passing away.
Arum just nodded awkwardly then saw the two men with the gear motor slowly move away and go towards the destination.
“Rum?” sapa Ajeng smiled.
“Sorry Jeng.”
“M-sorry? Make what?”
“Sorry on behalf of Mas Pandji, it should have been from the beginning you did not receive strange requests Mas Pandji Jeng.”
“Why is it?”
“Lu is too good for him.”
“You know why the other day Mas Pandji was disappointed Rum? You who even Mas Pandji's siblings always think negatively about him.”
“What do you see of him Jeng? I'm sure you're not like the village bitch who's tempted by Atmajaya.”
Ajeng smiled, then rubbed the back of Arum's hand, “If you can already understand and know Mas Pandji on a different side, you will surely understand Rum.”
“You mean? I swear I don't understand.”
“Mas Pandji is not what people think, not an unemployed man whose work raises his hands for money,” Ajeng explained.
“The reality is that so many times, her work was never clear, tell college not to, continue the family business as well moreover, her work is only motor-motor and go outside the village continue to play women.”
Again and again Ajeng just smiled making the line on Arum's forehead more and more created.
“Oath Jeng gw really confused, you nyimpen what secret between you and Mas Pandji?”
“Ajeng has no right to tell, it is a secret, which is entitled only Mas Pandji.”
“Like you gw dizzy!”
“The bride-to-be can't mind much Rum,” Arum nodded what Ajeng said was right, but the problem this time he can't ignore it.
Deep breathing is done by Arum before spilling his grievances against his friend, “After the incident the other day Mas Pandji said Jeng, Mamah fell ill, Papah was especially confused, Papah was confused, not to mention Jalang Kampung every day come to the house for accountability, I'm ashamed of Mas Wisnu Jeng.”
“Rum?” gentle grip given by Ajeng trying to remove the fear felt by his friend, “If indeed Mas Vishnu your soul mate, he will certainly continue to be beside you to give strength and spirit. Maybe this is God's way to give you a test before you are ready to go further with Mas Vishnu.”
Arum was speechless, which Ajeng said was his right. Right now he must be strong for his Mamah and strive to seek the truth.
“Lu believes that the bitch is actually pregnant with Mas Pandji's child.”
“Grey Rum, both parties say different things, we can't be sure which one is real and which one is wrong.”
“If suppose the bitch was lying about her pregnant Mas Pandji's child you would come back for Mas Pandji?”
Ajeng fell silent not answering, leaving Arum with all his curiosity.
...✎ . ....
The noise was heard even though a few more steps Ajeng reached the simple hut of Si Mbok, with a quick step Ajeng shortened the distance to immediately arrive and find out what was happening until Si Mbok raised his voice.
“MAU MOREOVER YOU ARE HERE! UNTIL WHENEVER I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET INTO MY HUT!”
“Mbok, Dika want to talk to Si Mbok.”
“APAGAIN? ONCE NO YES NO!”
“Mbok me Niken, fiance Dika, can we talk for a minute?”
The grieving Mbok looked at the woman in front of him, “I don't care if you are engaged Dika though, want to ask for blessing? I will not menjawab, why do I deal with boys who do not know are lucky, have been enlarged even make disappointed.”
“Mbok, sorry Papih.”
“HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I SAID! DON'T EVER APOLOGIZE ON BEHALF OF THAT JERK! SAME BOY FATHER ALAMA AJA!”
“Mbok?” who there then looked at the source of the voice found a girl standing still while trying to digest the sentence she had just heard.
“T-but Mbok?”
“Since when did you cast Jeng?”
“I-iya Mbok.”
“WHAT ELSE ARE YOU WAITING FOR? GET OUT OF HERE!”
“Mbok I will not leave before Mbok wants to talk to Dika.”
“As far as you are, want you to die does not change everything.”
Dika speechless to hear the speech of the middle-aged woman who is now turning her back to Niken, “So hate her Mbok same Dika?”
“I think your S1 and your brain are still working, Bratajaya!”
Dika's body squeezed that very second, her limb falling over greeting the surface of the dried up Red ground, seeing that Niken was panicking tremendously and resuscitating Dika not to lose her consciousness.
“Dik, let's not stay here!”
“GO KEN! GO AWAYL! LET GW EVIDENIN TO THE MBOK, GW CAN! IF EVEN GW HAS TO DIE HERE GW CAN BE!”
“LU SAY WHAT THE HELL? CONSCIOUS DIK!”
“GO!”
With a heavy heart and a little hesitation Niken stepped away observing Dika from inside the car.
The man stood in the middle of the spacious courtyard belonging to Si Mbok, standing in the blazing sunlight but his body still stood firm despite several times had fallen. Niken can't just sit still. But Dika would stare at her sharply if the woman opened the car door.
“Gw do not think the same you Dik, you have no wrong, all this is not your fault, why should you fight desperately to apologize? Why is man always selfish, fool!” niken's lips drowned her face in the steering wheel of the car.
Dika's lips paled even more a few times the man seemed to grimace withstanding the pain that attacked his body part, while in the car with anxious feelings mixed with worry Niken prayed that Dika would be fine.
Now the sun is dimming its rays, along with a gray cloud that is ready to spill millions of cubic feet of water into the earth. Niken was afraid if the rain flushed, and sure enough soon after the spatter began to fall soaking the earth.
Dika looked up to let the rain water wet his body that had been sunburnt by the sun a few hours ago, the fresh sensation he got but over time the cold began to graze his bone piercing made the man clench his hands.
Niken can't stay still, though, moreover, seeing Dika who fell down made the woman take the phone Dika placed on the dashboard of the car and contact the last number that was not even Niken recognize so panic.
“Halo, can you please help gw?”
“Who? Girl?”
“Help gw please, Dika, Dika—”
“What is clear Njir! You're the same where?”
“Front of his house Ajeng!”
“Wait gw!”
The phone connection was cut off, Niken passed out of the car while opening her umbrella to see Dika's body had fallen to the wet Red ground.
“DIKA!”
The woman tried to wake Dika, but her efforts were in vain, The man closed his eyes tightly with his pale lips, Niken cried while gently grasping her fiance's hand.
“DIKA! WAKE DIK! YOU STRONG! WAKEUP!”
“WAKE! DIKA! DIKA!”
Want as loud as it screams Niken is not able to build a man lying on his thighs, his voice even buried in the swift rain that flushed, the rain, Niken did not care about his condition that had been soaked plus splashes of red soil.
Niken unceasingly offered prayers with his eyes closed and clasped the hands of Dika who began to cool, at least this is better.
Long enough Niken waited, until someone came through the rain and immediately ran towards him with a look of surprise.
“Lu both doing in front of Ajeng house?”
“The story is long, cepet take Dika to puskesmas!”
The man was grieving while holding Dika's body on his back, “The story will not be long if he is not reckless here!”
“Why are you talking like you are wrong Dika?!”
“Denger yes, all will be well if this jerk guy does not return to a place that does not accept the arrival of the Bratajaya family.”
“When not wrong!”
The man smiled then looked tilted at Niken, “Belain him later, you don't want him to die? My back is holding him, heavy! Move you!”
Niken really does not believe in the human she is facing right now, the woman fell silent while restoring her wet hair.
“LU BEAUTIFUL BUT DARLING HER BEGO!”
“WHAT DO YOU MEAN!” ask Niken not to accept.
“YOU THINK, IF THE CAR DOOR IS IN THE KEY GW WANT TO BRING IN HOW?!”
Niken who realized his stupidity immediately ran and opened the door for the songong man who had helped him, he was forced, on the phone Dika there was only the name of the man who was last contacted.
After landing Dika's body in the middle seat of the man immediately went down and closed the car door.
“Wait!”
“What else? I don't need payment, let alone a thank you note!”
“Not it!”
“Terus?”
Niken tried to be patient then took a deep breath and exhaled her, “Puskesmas where?”
The man almost cursed then looked at Niken's face while holding back emotions and exposed to the increasingly heavy rain, “Ikutin gw from behind!”
Niken nodded letting the man walk up the motor and then plugging his gas through the rain curtain and his wind was tight, as much as possible the man kept his balance. While in the car Niken was quite amazed by the persistence of the man.
His wide, sturdy back seemed to call Niken to lean back and spill his sigh there, but his mind was dissolved when Dika's moaning voice sounded, in a panic Niken preceded the man's motor when the puskesmas plang he could already see.
Niken hopes that Dika is okay, even though it feels quite impossible.
