CIRCUMCISION

An unexpected meeting

As usual after being felt shopping and kitchen needs were enough Sulastri stopped by the Harjito trading yard. His footsteps stopped when he saw Harjito with Dirah sitting together while serving the buyers who were bidding. Sulastri approached while frowning and greeting them. "kang Jito.." heard his name called jito turned and approached Sulastri and took his hand to sit down. Dirah shook Sulastri's hand with a smile, but not with Lastri he was still confused by this kind of situation.

"Sit Lastri I will explain not to go into misunderstanding." explained Jito "This is Sundirah son of my mother's cousin" harjito's short story tells about who Sundirah and the baby in his womb.

Lastri listened to all the words of Jito, then looked at Dirah with a cold hand Dirah who had just lowered his head to feel the nelangsa with what had happened to him at this time. "just call my name lastri, please, braht.." Lastri identified himself.

"Dirah..we will help you unite, be patient to stay in the belief to fight for your love, keep the content of your love fruit, I know who Mahendra" lastri continued, which made Jito and Dirah look towards Lastri seriously.

"Yes Mahendra is the son of Atmosiman copra, he will not hesitate to take action if his desires are hindered." Lastri. "Mahendra is the future husband that my father has arranged for me." this time Sulastri lowered his head while covering his face and sobbed.

"We can be together to block my parents' will and Atmosiman's desire" Lastri spoke again.

" For almost entering these three months mas Mahendra even though he never had news, either where and how he was at all I do not know, Ndoro Siman would be angry if he knew this situation" He looked at Lastri.

"I'm sure den Hendra will not forget what he has done, maybe only your circumstances and situation are currently not supportive" said Jito.

Their discussions and plans were neatly arranged until they finally separated. Dokar who picked up Lastri had arrived.The sun had been leaning past the middle of the day, Jito and Dirah brought the rest of the merchandise and drove slowly towards the village of Settinggil.

The day before his arrival Suyud met with Atmosiman, to discuss the problems that had befallen his eldest daughter.Hardlessness led him to hold Mahendra accountable to Dirah. Suyud was aware of who he was in the face of Atmosiman but the problems had to be fixed.

the anger of the Atmosiman culminates when she learns she is pregnant. "What....! that never happened, I'm not willing to admit that their adultery baby in the womb is not my grandchild!" atmosiman cried after hearing Suyud's confession about the actions of their son.

Karmilah stroked the chest while approaching and then said slowly to Suyud about the real thing. "Suyud, is it true what you told us?" karmilah as if in disbelief.he suspected the familiarity of the two of them turned out to produce romance. "Betul Ndoro madam" Suyud replied as he looked towards the karmilah.

"Remove that content....! he is not Mahendra's son, my son cannot do such a despicable deed" Atmosiman's heavy voice. "Yes...! I disagree...! we wait for Hendra's explanation first. How can we abort the fetus if it is they did mas..! I refuse to let everything be negotiated without anyone making a more fatal mistake, the baby is innocent mas" said Karmila.

Suyud who was sitting in front of them stared at Atmosiman while saying "Ndoro Siman, but we only need recognition from den Mahendra for his actions even though it is based on mutual love, even if Ndoro is not willing to admit the baby in the womb Dirah as a grandson, I as Dirah's parents will still maintain her, Dirah my son who in the womb is my grandson" the voice of suyud full of emphasis.

"Suppose you Suyud...! where Dirah is now going to teach me how to keep the dignity of a woman, he must have seduced Mahendra until all this happened." Atmosiman looks furious.

"Suyud. as good as you go home first. we will find a good way by waiting for Mahendra's return as soon as possible." karmilah mediate two men who with their own will.

"Well my mistress please say goodbye, but I still wait for any news from den Mahendra, because the content of Dirah will be enlarged" Suyud clarified again on the responsibility of Mahendra's answer.

"I beg you to say goodbye to Ndoro".

When passing in the courtyard beside the copra drying place Suyud cross paths with a slamet, and tell all about Siman who insisted on wanting to abort the content of the dirah, even asking for the whereabouts of the present.

Slamet knew very well the compassionate nature of his karmilah, during his service in the extended family of the late Djoyo rebi.

Suyud then took his leave, on the way to the house the feeling of anxiety was clearly echoed in the words of Atmosiman when asking where he was. Which father wanted his son to get hurt?. arriving at the house Suyud told all to Yatemi.

"How is this sir? I don't want anything to happen with Dirah" Yatemi is very worried about what will happen with her child. "We can only pray Mak, may the baby in the womb with Dirah always in the protection of Allah" said Suyud.

While in the great house Atmosiman spoke of an opinion with karma. "I'll find out where Dirah is, I want the pregnancy to not happen any way, Mahendra still has to marry Lastri." murmured Atmosiman "Or by providing the fields with enough breadth to support them, on condition that the sundirah must go far from this region without Hendra's knowledge." continued the atmosphere set the bad thing to overcome the problem.

"I don't agree with your mind at all...! speak kindly with Hendra, cancel the matchmaking with the daughter of Lurah Djaelani" because it is as if siding with Suyud after knowing the pregnancy of Dirah.

"Will not be...! the matchmaking must continue, Dirah there are only two options, abort the content or go far to bring the bad luck, I will give the rubber plantation in the Sumatra region." said Atmosiman.

As usual in the morning Atmosiman will travel from field to field just to see the development and the workers who do the routine every day.

He did not usually go to the clitikan market on the border of the villages of Setinggil and Kawedusan where Harjito sells which today Dirah participates.from afar accidentally the eyes of Atmosiman are fixed on the figure of Dirah, Dirah, really anger back up considering the news brought by Suyud yesterday that Dirah was pregnant with Mahendra's child. Slamet as the accompanying coachman felt there would be anger, immediately diverting the conversation about the kwangwung pest and how to eradicate it.

Elsewhere, Dirah who saw Jito carrying a packet of rice that had been dikolekan to the bald little boy, very cheerfully approached and immediately ate with the already cold rice. then continue to serve the buyer who is bidding.

In contrast to Atmosiman he was furious with the loss of his traces of views towards Dirah because of the many market people who were passing by. eventually the dockar in Kendarai Atmosiman also led to leave the market.

***

While far away in Negri sebrang Mahendra was not calm for the last few weeks, because. every Sunday he took to write a piece of paper as a longing remedy that he felt to his soul mate Sundirah, but not one was reciprocated. what should?. while the stay in this country still has to live until the next few months.

"Dirah..What happened to you? not a single letter I gave you you replied to me." Hendra said as she sat alone.

"are you any other than me, after I've stayed away." Hendra himself had a dialogue in his heart.
