Bakoh Shoulder

Chapter 35. Stubborn Story

News of Vera and Teguh's closeness is heating up. Without Teguh knowing, Vera even took advantage of the confusing news. Every time people ask, does he or she have a special relationship? He timidly replied 'Do'ain aja.'

The more the news unfolds. Until it was heard to the ears of Teguh and Ayu. Ayu is not a child who knows nothing, at her age.. He knows what his neighbors are talking about. Yang Ayu felt after hearing the news of the closeness of his father and the Vera bullek, he hurt. A feeling of unwillingness if his father married a woman who was never even friendly to him.

"Why why? From the morning it was very sad.. Scolded by the teacher at school? Is your PR a lot?" Tanya Teguh curious.

"No sir.." Said while shaking.

"Then what is Yu? Same with your friends?" Guess Steady again. This time it was Ayu's head who answered.

"Bech hmmm.. Ayu kangen ibuk?" This time the eyes of the father and son met.

"Sir.. Ayu wanted to ask," Finally the lips were open.

"Sir.. Would you like to marry again like a Vera?" Ayu. Firmly understand now, his daughter moping durja from morning because of the news of his proximity to Vera which is actually the news is not true.

"So this father is jealous? Haha.. Yu Yu, don't pout. Ugly! Yes Yu, I tell you.. Whatever Ayu heard was not really nduk. Father will not marry again, let alone the same kunti that makes Ayu afraid every look at her figure."

"In this world there are three women who until now make the father can not turn away, can not change their position, because of the affection of the father who besaaar with them!" Strong hands stretched out as wide as possible.

"You know who?" He asked Ayu. Ayu shook her head again. But this time, the cloudy look on Ayu's face changed the hue of happiness. He was happy to hear an answer from his father if his father would not marry Vera.

"One Mbah uti, the woman who became his father's mother. Mbah uti is Yu's father's first love. You want a story.. In the past, I wanted to go to school. Rained out. Umbrellas don't have, let alone coats. Don't ask, the vehicle doesn't have a coat, what's it for?" Remembering his past. Ayu carefully heard the story.

"With a banana leaf, Mbah uti carried the father at that time.. At first I refused, ashamed of Yu! School, far away, carried by his mother.. You're afraid of being harassed by friends later if they find out." Take a pause. Firmly take a breath.

"But the shame turned into a sense of awe, when he saw the body of Mbah uti soaked in the front. Mbah uti deliberately does not wear head protection so that the father is not wet because of rain. Smile mbah uti clearly you remember when wiping your hair, making sure you are not exposed to rain water."

"Good eight years, the father often sickly Yu. Due to the heat of fever, get a fever, get cold dust. Haha.. Now it's immune to everything."

"Mbah uti willingly do not eat all day for the sake of seeing you can eat corn rice. Long ago expensive rice Yu. Mbah uti sama Mbah kung can not afford, yes as a result the father is often processed corn rice as mbah uti."

"Corn rice is also good sir. Ayu likes." Smile expands.

"Yes yu yummy. I like it too, but it's the same as it feels." Both giggle.

"And you know the second woman whom you have loved until now, after Mbah uti? Yes mother.. Nur. Your mother's name is like a light in your heart, although it has been lost but the glow is still there until now. Your mother is a strong woman, sholehah, kind, friendly, funny, aah.. I think all the good is with your mother. The mbah uti. Your mother never complained, I still remember your mother Yu's words. Why complain, why continue to mengedumel with envy and compare our lives with others.. We better try, pray. Our mouth was not created to constantly complain about the circumstances, raise our hands.. Ikhtiar, don't be lazy, don't be ashamed to do anything to find the fortune he didhoi His. As long as we seek fortune in the halal way, the slightest will be a benefit and goodness to ourselves while enjoying the results. No matter how poor we are, never think of doing evil and doing harm to people."

"Good mother, sir.." Ayu's heart trembled feeling a longing for her mother's figure.

"Yes. Your mother was a good person, so God called her home first. God loves your mother more, God does not want your mother to continue to feel pain in this world. So do not be sad if you remember your mother. Read Al-Fatihah, pray with Allah that the mother may have the best place at HER side, accepted her Islamic faith, expanded her grave, and kept away from the torment of the grave.. Yea?" Pinta Teguh while rubbing the shoulder of Ayu who began to feel sadness.

"And.. Third, eeeemm who is it? Who is Yu?" Firmly trying to remove the sadness in Ayu.

"Who sir?" Ayu started to get excited again.

"You know nothing.. Hahaha, your face is Yu Yu, don't frown at that! The third one is definitely... You are! Father, the trust that God gives to father and mother. Beloved father, a little baby who is now a little boy and this smart. Which makes you strong, which makes you try to give your best, even though you know if all that is far from okay. Be a son of sholehah ya nduk, father never maksa you become a child who is always a champion in school, but I want you to be a son of sholehah, a grounded child, simple, as it is, do not be arrogant, do not be arrogant, even though I know you're not a bad boy. You are the reason you can be strong without your mother. Don't leave prayers, that's your message."

With a quick movement, that small hand grabbed onto Teguh's body. He hugged the great man. Firmly tipped a glimpse of the tip of Ayu's head.

"Mr.. Ayu dear father.."
