Asa At The End of Lembayung

Dinners

In a very magnificent restaurant, it looks like two young people are enjoying a dish that is so luxurious, even both of them are in the VIP room and the two people are none other than Rena Wijaya Putri and the son of a famous businessman, Nicholas Bramono or commonly called Niko.

The two also ate the dish casually, chatting a few words, although most of the people who spoke first were Niko, while Rena only responded.

"So you're leaving tomorrow afternoon?" tanya Niko though somewhat disappointed because her plan to get closer to the Princess from the youngest son of Pak Wijaya was going to be a little hampered because of the distance.

"Yes, because tomorrow morning there is a posyandu activity in the village hall" replied Rena but her words hunted cut by the man in front of her.

"Do you feel at home serving in such a village, but if you want, you can be one of the leaders in a hospital that Mr. Wijaya manages, even if you want, you can be one of the leaders in the hospital, and it's definitely clear the level of career and success that you achieve someday," said Niko cut the explanation from Rena.

"I think Bang Niko underestimates success too much by defining success as simple as that, indeed I do not deny that I can go so far, he said, because both of my parents have excess property, even though I choose to be a midwife whose notes are slightly different from my three brothers, but according to my personal understanding it is the same, that is to serve well the patients who come to us, even though it is from the ordinary people though, and the origin of Bang Niko tau, there is pride when I am in the midst of a society that you consider ordinary, namely the feel of gotong royong which is still very high,"

Rena explained it at length, high times with a feeling of excitement, like a soldier of freedom fighters who do not want to treasure and his dignity trampled back by the Dutch, after the rising sun country surrendered unconditionally to the allies, after both cities in his country were bombed by the American army.

While Niko was only silent to hear the words of Rena, in her heart she felt astonished by the girl who was having dinner with her, why she had to bother being a midwife and serving in the village, when his parents had several elite hospitals and even a well-known medical university in the country.

" Waalaikumsalam, mango, please enter not in this key kok cu," replied the person inside who was none other than Aki Darja himself.

Rehan and Rijal also went up to the house on stage, to go inside, after putting a bag of crackles that turned out to contain food, because this afternoon after Ba'da magrib at his house Rehan held a small sashakuran event, because it had finished harvesting rice in his rice field, Rehan, by inviting ustadz and the neighbors to pray together to the Most Merciful for all His creatures.

Tonight Rehan and Rijal did not go directly to just hang out at Pos Ronda as usual, because they wanted to occasionally feel the night breeze at the end of the village, precisely at the house of Aki Darja.

"Hmw... The dry breeze has started to feel yes," said Rijal cupped his hands on the guitar he was carrying.

"Whoops.. Two years ago was nothing, Aki Mah never experienced drought for seven months, uh anyway, when did you do your marriage with the cowboy from the village next door? horrors yesterday said you've been engaged?" exclaiming Aki Darja join nimbrung while exhaling the smoke of his kretek cigarette, after he finished eating rice and side dishes brought by Rehan earlier.

"Yes it's true Ki this morning his fiancee's event, but if the marriage is at most out of Eid Eid al-Qurban," replied Rijal explained about his wedding plans with Maryati.

"Didn't you originally not want to be in a match with Si Yati?" rehan said a little teasing his friend.

"Hehey.. We didn't know each other at first, but after meeting her a few times I felt very good for each other, uh how do you keep your relationship with Midwife?"Clearly Rijal smiled and asked Rehan back.

"Hmma.. Ah used to be fine, prayer is fine" Rehan replied briefly, because he was still confused by the status of their relationship, despite having expressed his feelings and Rena accepted it, because she was still confused, but they are committed to not indulging in their relationship so much that they plan to take it more seriously.

"It turns out you still have not expressed your feelings to the beautiful Midwife," said Rijal sighs disappointed, because he thought his good friend had not revealed his heart to Rena, which made him somewhat disappointed.

Then Rijal played the guitar with his finger and tried to read a verse of poetry by Maestro Sapardi Djoko Damono, and accompanied by a gust of cool night breeze

"I want to love you simply, simply,

in a word that wood cannot speak to fire that makes it ash.

I want to love you simply, though,

with a signal that the cloud could not deliver to the rain that made it go away"

Aki Darja and Rehan were amazed by the chant of poetry brought by Rijal, amazed by the voice of his friend
