A Tale of Ary

22. Bede

After martial arts training, Ary was invited to stop by the restaurant owned by Bayu's parents. Bayu wants to introduce Ary to his mother. Because his mother was curious about Ary, the first woman who always adored Bayu in front of his mother.

Bayu always told Ary about his mother. All about Ary and the activities that Bayu did with Ary never escaped the story of Bayu to his mother.

For Bayu his mother is a hero, because her mother can act as a mother as well as a father and friend. Since her father died, Bayu has grown closer to her mother.

"Assalamu'alaikum." Bayu entered the restaurant through a side door near the cash register. Ary followed Bayu.

"Mom, where's Mom?" asked Bayu to one of his mother's employees who was sitting at the cashier's desk.

"Mother is cooking in the kitchen, Mas. There were old customers who asked for Mother's cooking." explained the employee named Wati.

"Oh, okay then! We're heading straight to the kitchen!" bayu said kindly, while smiling sweetly.

"Come, Dik. Let's go to the kitchen, and eat there. Mother's cooking is good." take Bayu to Ary.

Bayu and Ary also walked to the kitchen to meet Marinah's mother, Bayu. The restaurant was named "Mum Marinah's Restaurant".

"Assalamualaikum, Mother." say hello Bayu to his mother, currently his mother is cooking sweet sour fried squid at the request of customers.

"Wa'alaikum salam, you know the handsome Mother has returned tho. Mrene mrene luh kene dhisik." said Mom pointing at the seat behind Mom standing.

(Sit here first)

Behind her is a dining table with four chairs. The table is usually used to mix cooking ingredients that will be cooked. In addition, it is also commonly used by employees to eat.

"Kene you know Bay, koncone invited luh kene dhisik. I can't afford to cook iki sik!" mother's orders.

(Sini you know Bay, his friend was invited to sit first. I want to finish this cooking first)

Bayu and Ary walked to the chair in the kitchen. Ary shook Mother Bayu's hand and then kissed the back of her hand.

"Waahh, ayu tenan yo. Pantes Bayu kedanan ro kowe, mayu!" said Mother.

(Waahh, beautiful yes. Bayu is crazy about you, Beautiful.)

" Your genie is sopo, Cah Ayu? Jan, ayu tenan ngene iki gek anake sopo ngono." Anxious mother herself saw Ary's natural beauty.

(Whose name are you, beautiful? It's beautiful, this is his son who tried?)

Ary has a natural beauty, because she never dresses up. Every day he just wears baby powder. Lipglos (lips moisturizer) alone she does not wear, let alone lipstick.

***

Meanwhile, elsewhere, in a cafe on the top floor of the mall in the city of Ary. Alex is interrogating Enno.

Alex is so jealous at the closeness between Bayu and Ary. After breaking up with Alex, Ary gets closer to Bayu. Alex thinks that Ary and Bayu are already dating.

"Why are they (Wood and Ary) so sticky?" ask Alex to Enno.

"Where do I know, ask yourself sono!" answer Enno ketus. Enno starts to get caught up with Alex's attitude. Alex always wanted to know all about Ary, but didn't want to ask Ary directly.

"Yes, I'm 24 hours nongkrongi the Ary. I'm not her baby sister!" enno shouted, he was angry because Alex always urged him to tell her all about Ary's activities.

"Well, what you really don't know! Don't believe me!" Alex also began to get carried away with emotions, because Enno never gave an answer.

" The schedule of his activities is very good. Back to school, there's always OSIS. Whether it's just a meeting or sharing, whether it's a marching exercise, whether it's debriefing material or something. I don't know!"

"Three times a week he participated in the pulpit at Prima Gama, where he did not know. If there's no timetable he's helping Dad at the stall."

Finally inevitably Enno tells all the activities of Ary so far. He doesn't want Alex always chasing information about Ary.

"Certainly, if it is Sunday morning he participated in the Sunday morning study at the Grand Mosque. After going directly to GOR, practice pencak silat white swallow martial arts. Coming home from there is new, he can rest." added Enno.

"That means Ary every day is always the same person?" guess Alex.

"Who is that guy? There's a name, right? He has a name, say his real name. Don't tell that guy again! Ary can slit your neck!" enno.

"It hurts me, see Ary so close to other people" Alex said.

"Clearly deket it, clearly Kak Bayu invites Ary in kindness. The Ary section is the same Bayu is in the same direction, in line and one goal is the same" said Enno at length.

"If you're with Ary, it's all different. There are so many differences between loe and Ary." added Enno.

"different? What's different? Where is the difference?" alex asked confused at Enno's words.

"Conscious loe! Loe it to the Church, while Ary to the Mosque. Loe the son of a wealthy successful businessman, Ary's parents are just elementary school teachers. Like the word roughneck, loe is like the sky like the earth. Distant, dodol! Different directions, different roads and different destinations!" said Enno fieryly explaining to Alex.

Alex who heard Enno's words just now instantly went limp. He did not expect that difference would prevent him from being with Ary.

"Well, you're just as different as Ronal. But you guys keep going together. Date dating!" answer Alex.

"That's... I'm the same Ronal is just a courtship. Different from Ary, he does not want to date. She wants to date only once and get married. Ary's family doesn't know the term dating."

"My family is like Ary's family. My family, the soul of Pancasila. Importantly, the Godhead is all-round."

"If the Ary family, the ustadz family. Both of his brothers only went to school in the boarding school. Just Ary himself who does not go to school there, because he does not want to separate from his parents." Enno explains everything to Alex, so Alex stops chasing Ary.

Enno pityed to see Alex who was crazy about Ary, but Ary was just ignorant. There is not the least love from Ary for Alex. Because Ary buried deep in his love for Alex. In addition to the gap of differences, also because Ary still wants to pursue his goal of becoming a doctor.

Ary aspires to be a doctor from childhood. He always played doctor with his friends when he was a kid.

Ary always remembers one of the verses in Al Kafirun's short letter. Lakum dinukum wa liyadin (Al Kafirun verse six). That is to you your religion and to me my religion.

Ary as much as possible stayed away from Alex, so that he remained in the teachings of his religion. So does Alex, sticking to his own religious teachings.
