A cool morning atmosphere in the village of Indah Cihurip. Anyone must have lingered here. The view is still beautiful. So far, the villagers are busy with their activities. Cooking utensils, footsteps, greetings are always heard. The people did not throw smiles. It is so different from life in the city.
"Damnya, the vegetable tea has been washed?" Bibik's call resuscitated Jihan.
"Yes Bik is in a minute." Jihan's quick movement is draining water on a container of fresh vegetables.
"It's a Bik."
"Bring here Jihan!"
Jihan's wide steps towards Pandu's mother. Jihan was fixated with the shrewd movements of Pandu's mother stirring the cooking.
"It sure tastes good." Jihan tried to start a conversation.
"If the cooking uses the heart, insyaallah delicious. Can you cook?"
Jihan was embarrassed to answer. He acknowledged his weakness in cooking.
"Women are obliged to cook. If you can't, what would you like to eat, Mother's child? The rocks? The grass? Skinny dry or Ibuk child later. You should also get used to waking up in the morning. Kudu morning prayer, beberes, quick shower, cook a good meal. So that the husband of tea is at home."
Jihan can't say anything. He could only hear all the messages from Pandu's mother.
"Where did you meet Pandu? Have you known a guide for a long time?"
Pandu's mother's question confused Jihan to answer what. Yes, he had to explain the beginning of his meeting in a bar. Maybe his bad disgrace is exposed. This family is too perfect to accept Jihan's bad disgrace.
"At Raska's wedding, Buk. From there we knew us. Coincidentally, Jihan's cousin Alya. So, we introduce each other, familiar and. God willing forever together."
Warm swish in Jihan's heart. Jihan's eyes looked at Pandu's cold face. And Pandu's sweet smile towards Jihan was able to make her float.
"Too short of your approach. Too soon to decide. I don't want you guys to regret it at the end."
Again and again Jihan snorted and lowered her head. Pandu knows, at this time his mother always corner Jihan. Therefore, he joined and helped Jihan to feel comfortable.
"guides have told Ibuk, the soul mate does not want to be fast but right. Before, we didn't care about each other either. Just just friends. But over time the heartfelt feelings grew. Maybe, it is like that God meets a soul mate for Pandu. Through this woman."
The direction of the view of Pandu is right in both of Jihan's eyeballs. Again and again Pandu reviews his smile. Jihan stopped breathing.
Sadarkah Pandu, that he managed to make Jihan Fall in Love.
"Basic tea young man. If you've fallen in love with the talk of a hot tea. Quickly or we transport this food to the front room. We'll eat together."
"Haha.... I used to be the same Abah was also young or Buk."
Jihan also laughs with Pandu's ignorant teasing.
Their breakfast was so simple. Get together and lesehan. Every meal is always interspersed with chatter and laughter. Why Jihan must be born in the city, if you know the atmosphere and traditions of the villagers are so pleasant.
"We've all been negotiating tea. Before you get married, your mother wants to hold a study first Pandu. Ask for blessings to the villagers."
"Yes, Pandu. Let all the people know. And not cause slander. Ibuk long enough to hold the talk of people who are not about you in the city. Ibuk Teh wants your home life Sakinah Mawaddah Warohmah."
Pandu's mother's proposal was approved by Pandu and Jihan. Because he was born in this village, the villagers deserve to know this good news.
The plan is Pandu will take Jihan around the village. Showing, introducing his homeland. All of you want to invite the citizens to study tomorrow. Not to forget also Raska, Alya and Mamang accompanied.
"The village was not so beautiful like this. It's still very hard to get through."
"Alhamdulillah.... All thanks to you, Pandu. Our village is starting to prosper."
"Hahaha. All there's citizen interference too."
"Oh yeah.... Ndu, Ndu-s. It always comes down to being praised. This guide is indeed a good man. If there's no palanquin, there's no way I can eat."
"You're too much Raska."
Their laughter is always loud.
"A' Pandu!!" The soft voice of the women stopped their steps.
Pandu realizes it's Sulis. A voice he knew and missed. Alya, Raska and Jihan are confused.
"Aa' tea how are you?"
"Alhamdulillah good. Sulis how are you?"
"Well atuh A'. That's tea... who?"
Jihan realized the meaning of the question the woman in front of her. Pandu glanced at Jihan. He knows the direction of Sulis.
"Name Jihan. Nominee.... Aa'."
"So, is that tea true? That Aa' is getting married?"
"Yes. Aa'.. soon to be married. Aa' listen.... You too right?"
Pandu asked back. In Jihan's mind, that this woman was the one that Pandu's mother talked about the other day. He still remembers the name thrown by Pandu's mother.
Pandu's mom adored him. The veiled woman was full of her meekness. Jihan felt a sense of unwillingness in Pandu's eyes. Does he love this woman too much?
"Sulis still doesn't believe in this end A'. The end we both have to leave and forget."
"It has to be like that Sulis."
"Waaahh.... Guide it!! Is this really you Pandu?"
Mr. Broto. Tea bellows. The character of the villagers who are very powerful in this Cihurip Indah village. His pride never disappeared.
"It has succeeded you now Guide. What are you doing in the city? So tea boy? Haha...."
Mr. Broto and his two men from the past until now still look down on Pandu. Sulis was ashamed.
"Change.... Don't be like that, orah!"
Pandu smiled gently. Very patient.
"Sir Broto, thank God I work halal in the city of urang. God willing what I always do is a blessing. Hmm... It just so happens that there is Sulis and Mr. Broto here. I have tea for my studies tomorrow at home. If you are ready, Sulis and Broto come or go to the house. Please pray blessing for my intention to marry the woman of my choice sir." While looking in the shade towards Jihan beside him.
Mr. Broto glanced intensely at Jihan's figure. Still those eyes glanced arrogantly.
"At last there are also those who want to accept you Pandu. Yes, the soul is a reflection of themselves. Which dirty woman are you flirting with?"
Jihan was surprised by the words of the bangkotan fathers did not know themselves. His brutal soul came back out.
"HEY....! you mean what?! Why am I a dirty woman?! You don't realize your mouth is dirtier than me!!!"
All overwhelmed with holding back Jihan's emotions.
"Jihan already, istighfar!" Pandu tries to calm Jihan down.
"Hihan already, istighfar!! We're just gonna get out of here."
The dispute was witnessed by several farm workers Mr. Broto. Sulis was very embarrassed to see his brother who was again looking for trouble. He did not realize his brother, that all this time he continued to be ostracized because of his brother's actions towards people. From afar, Sulis did not take his eyes off the hand of Pandu who continued to hold tightly the hand of the woman next to him. Once upon a time, he was in that woman's position.
Along the way, Jihan continued to mengedumel. To the extent that Mamang was astonished by the actual behavior of Jihan. He thought, Jihan is a graceful female figure.
"Don't be too dizzy, Jihan. Juragan Broto was like that. From the beginning, it never changed. Moreover, our same family. There's just his behavior."
"Gue is upset. A lot of old behavior. I am very pleased with his son. Didn't know I was, my father's son was far apart."
Pandu can only always smile at his unwillingness to hear the ramblings of Jihan. Until they arrived at a rice-rice storage warehouse that was ready to be transported to various cities. Their arrival was immediately greeted by the excitement of the farmers who confused Jihan and Alya. Only Raska and Mamang saw it was common.
"If you two are confused, I'll tell you. The pilot is a rice paddler in this village. Not even that. Pandu also has a fish pond which he leaves the responsibility to Mamang."
The two of them were stunned to hear Raska's words. Jihan did not expect Pandu to be so successful.
"The guide is a kind-spirited and generous tea. Although it has been successful, Pandu Teh never forgets the citizens here. He always gives blessings and funds the things needed in this village. One of them is tea schools, mosques, damaged streets, houses of residents who reok and others. Alhamdulillah Pandu has been able to prove to the citizens that the insults and insults he received first can motivate him to be successful as now."
Jihan really could already start admiring the figure of Pandu. With its simple look stored a million beautiful stories that will amaze anyone. The daydream ended when Pandu clasped his hand and pulled himself closer to the workers.
"I ask for his blessing to the Fathers, Ibuk-buk, mamang Ujang, Ellis tea and others for my intention to marry this heavenly angel beside me."
"Eleh, eleh. the casep and the geulis. God willing.our best prayers are for Nak Pandu and neng geulis."
"Amen.... Don't forget to come oruh Kang, Mang, Bik, Tea, Busy Mothers, Gentlemen to the study tomorrow nyak."
"Ready it mah, Pandu!!" Sorcerer everyone.
"Hatur nohun pisan. Then, I want to take them around the village first."
"Yes Pandu. The happy nyak."
The scenery is so beautiful to spoil the soul of Jihan. He breathed fresh air. Sitting sweetly on the rocks of the River while looking at Alya, Raska and Mamang who were playing water. His smooth legs flapped in the clear waters of the River. Pandu was happy if Jihan smiled. That means, Jihan no longer feels depressed and awkward.
Slow steps Pandu stopped and took a sitting position to the right of Jihan.
"This is not all I have pointed to you. There are still many beautiful places that will amaze you."
Jihan looked towards Pandu. He did not know that Pandu was at his side.
"Oh, huh? If so, you should often take me home to your village. I'm happy here. Comfortable."
"Hahaha... ready or Neng!"
Their laughter sounded boisterous.
Jihan remembered something.
"guide."
"Yes?"
"Your relationship with the hijab woman was what the hell?"
"Write?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Ooo. Why?"
"Hmm. Pengin knows. He doesn't want us to get married."
Pandu is eager to tell who Sulis is. But, he did not want to remember the past anymore. After all, he wanted to appreciate Jihan at this moment.
"It's hard not to like me. Too jutek. Hihi...."
"That's ordinary Jihan. A mother will always be overprotective of her child. My mom just knew you. Still the process of adapting to the prospective ghost."
Jihan feels intrigued by her new nickname. 'Prospective mantu.'
"Lo is great. You deserve a good woman too. I would not limit you if you want to be close to other women. And if you want to finish our scenario, you can contest my divorce. Next, I'm the one who's looking for an excuse so that Papa and Mama will understand."
Jihan stood up quickly and took part in their excitement playing water. Pandu did not really understand the purpose of Jihan's slow talk. Their excitement ended before Asar's time.
...🍁~🍁...
Their time in the village of Pandu's birth is over. Last night's lecture also went on solemnly. Now, they both have been known as brides. It is enough to introduce to the villagers that Jihan will accompany him later.
Traveling Pandu, Jihan, Raska, Alya, Pandu, Ranti, Mamang, Bibik and Uwak were escorted by residents until their cars disappeared from view. The sweetest impression Jihan had in this village she will always remember.
4 Hours of travel. Pandu took his family to his house first. Just finally drove Jihan home. While Raska and Alya were escorted by Jihan's driver.
"Assynolt...."
"Waalaikum.... Wahhh. Where is your family Pandu?"
Papa Jihan was excited to welcome them.
"Get in first dong Pa! Must be tired, huh?"
Jihan who had begun to sleepy walked straight and hugged her mother.
"Go straight home Om, Auntie. It's the night."
"Ooo. Waiting for you and your family to arrive. Hehe...."
"Okay Om, insyaallah."
Jihan could only wave her hand. His tiredness and sleepiness cannot be compromised.
...🍁~🍁...
Baper isn't? How can I admire Pandu too?
How do you think?
I like the character, right?
Give advice yes, what is lacking and wrong in my writing.
