Beautiful Tailor

Bitter Reality

It has been an hour more Fadly waiting on the front porch of the rented house in Tari, even now adzan maghrib has reverberated. But no one showed up in that house. Dance, his father or stepmother did not see his existence.

She had already decided on a video call to Mrs Shofia half an hour ago, Mrs Shofia was very angry when she found out Fadly was already in Indonesia and went to Pandanan Village where Tari lived. Of course Fadly's going to see Tari.

Fadly knew, Mrs Shofia must have told her men to look for her. But Fadly doesn't care about it.

Because it's been waiting a long time, and there doesn't seem to be anyone in the house. Fadly left. He walked towards the sewing kiosk owned by Tari.

He tried to ask the front neighbor of Tari who has a sembako shop. But the neighbors also do not know where the whereabouts of Tari and her family. But the owner of the shop told Fadly that Mr. Syabani was dead.

Fadly was surprised to hear that. It had been almost a year since he left the village. Without saying goodbye to Dance, of course there have been many changes that have occurred. But Fadly hopes that Dance's love for her won't change.

After Fadly arrived in front of the Dance sewing stall, he was no less surprised. Because the stall building which is only a few meters is no longer there and has been flattened to the ground.

Now Fadly is confused where to find Dance. Ask who. He was frustrated, eager to scream his frustration.

"Tariiii.. Where are you?" muttered alone.

Long enough Fadly looked at the empty land that was once a sewing stall owned by Tari. Suddenly someone patted his back. Fadly turned his head, his forehead shrinking. It seemed that he knew the person standing before him right now. The man smiled stiffly at her.

"Why, why are you thinking about empty land?" ask Dodi.

Fadly quietly did not immediately reply, Fadly observed Dodi from top to bottom. He used to think that Dari had a relationship with this man. Does he know where Dance is, Fadly thought.

Dodi waved her hand in front of Fadly's face, as Fadly looked dreamy.

"Yes..."

"Yes..."

"Oh, yeah," Fadly finally came to a realization.

Dodi smiled, "Why, why are you thinking about empty land? Want to buy land?" Dodi repeated the question again.

"Oh, no sir. Sa"

"Do I look old, why call me father anyway..."

"Eh.. That's not the case, what should I call?"

"Well, like the ajalah people, call Bang Dodi."

"Oh... Bang Dodi, ok. If you know me well, Fadly" said Fadly, extending his hand. Then they shake hands with each other.

"So Bang, actually I came here to see Tari, and I was very surprised to find that the stall was flat on the ground like this" said Fadly.

"Yes, Mas. It's all because of her in-laws Dance."

DUAAARR!!!

Like being struck by lightning it felt like Fadly's body heard it. Instantly his body was limp as if it was not boned.

"So... Dance is married, Bang?" ask Fadly not to believe it.

"Eh. Yes, Mom. Dance is married. At most one week he continued to be tortured by her husband, KDRT that," said Dodi explained.

"What's? KDRT?" Fadly's getting limp.

Dodi answered him just by nodding his head.

"Keep after the incident of the KDRT what is the state of Dance, Bang?"

"Tari was admitted to the Hospital, continuing after returning from the Hospital her father died."

Dodi saw disappointment in Fadly's face, then out of curiosity he asked, "Mas Fadly is his friend Dance huh?"

"Yes, Bang," replied Fadly briefly.

Dodi.

"If you may know, her husband Dance is a person from this village too?"

"Yes, Mas. The richest man in the village."

"Oh yeah?"

Fadly smiled wryly, it turns out that you are matre Tari. He said it only in his heart.

"Yes, Mas. Rich people, but too reckless with people who can't afford."

Dodi's not done with the story, Fadly knows it. Dodi took a deep breath, then Dodi sat on the side of the asphalt road facing the empty land that was once the place where the Dance kiosk stood. Fadly kept watching Dodi. Then Dodi tells the story of Dance from the beginning why Dance can marry Sandi. Dodi told him what he knew about Dance's life.

"So, Tari is married to the son of the landlord who occupied Tari and her family all this time?"

"Yes, Mum."

Suddenly Fadly remembered that the rented house that he had also occupied was the house owned by Mr. Irsyad. The butler who works at his house.

"That rented house doesn't belong to Mr. Irsyad, does it, Bang?"

"Yes, Mas. Right, it belonged to Mr. Irsyad but since Mr. Irsyad was working in the city, so the one who ran the rented houses was his wife. And for several months Mr. Irsyad has returned to this village, he said he had not worked in the city. Then he had a heart attack because Sandi was in prison for illegal powder and did KDRT to Tari." said Dodi.

"So, Mr Irsyad is also dead?"

"Yes, Mum."

"Innalillahiwainnailaihiraji'un."

It turns out that the world is really narrow, the person who married Tari turned out to be Sandi son of his butler in his house for many years. Fadly knew well Mr. Irsyad's family, he did not expect that Sandi to do KDRT to Tari. Because all this time he also knew Sandi as a good person. And Bu Hanifa, who Fadly knew all along very well turned out to be a mask.

Bu Hanifa is famous as a loan shark in this pandanan village and likes to be violent to anyone who cannot pay the money they borrow. Dance was one of the victims of Bu Hanifa's violence. Until the sewing kiosk owned by Tari was torn down by the men of Bu Hanifa's men.

"Can you take me to Ms. Hanifa's house, no, Bang?"

"Oh, can, Mas. For a moment let me take my bike first there," said Dodi while pointing the bike.

Not long after, Dodi returned with his duck bike.

"Come, Mas."

Fadly climbed into the duck's motorbike. Dodi also drove the bike slowly, because the bike was not able to go fast.

When Fadly opened her voice, "I used to think that Dance and Bang Dodi had a relationship, to make me jealous" Fadly said with a laugh.

Dodi laughed and heard it.

"That dance I've considered my own sister, Mas. Since he was a child, I have known him and his family. Even with her mother I know her. But when he's in trouble I can't help, that's what makes me sad."

"Don't be sad, Bang. Maybe this is all the way of life Dance. Later if I meet with Tari, I'll take her and make her happy."
