DOWRY 33 THOUSAND

18

The door of the rented house was wide open. The pious and dignified figure of Baihaqi was already standing in the doorway and spreading his gaze to each and every one of the people who instantly fell silent in silence.

"What's this about? Early in the morning already in the storm?" baihaqi asked softly as he looked at the person who had already surrounded his rented house.

"You're sipa? Pgi-morning is already in the girl's rented house!! Lest it be true that rumors are circulating, if Rara is the mistress of a striped man!!" shouted one of the fathers from behind the people who stood surrounded Rara's rented house.

"okay ... Introduce my name Baihaqi, I am Rara's husband. We are married siri" Baihaqi said firmly and loudly.

Hearing Baihaqi's words many people snorted violently and whispered to each other boisterously.

"Is it still unclear?! I'm Baihaqi, Rara's husband. Then why are you still here?!" baihaqi said firmly and let the men go and return to their homes.

"No disbelief, but we need proof!! A few months ago, Rara lived with a foreign man who claimed to be her cousin's sister, then rumors blew that Rara was pregnant with her boss at the office. But now, you confess that you are the husband of Siri Rara!!" said the old man who is usually called Mr. RT.

Baihaqi nodded softly, understanding all the questions posed by the neighbors as all needed clarity and strong evidence.

"Awhile yeah. I'll give you authentic proof of siri's marriage certificate. There are no photos because it is privacy," said Baihaqi explained slowly and calmly.

Baihaqi went inside and opened the small bag he had brought, then took out a stuffed paper cup.

"Ra, sign this. Pretend we're married siri. If there are questions about our different religions, I hope you can answer them wisely. You know, the people out there have been provoked by cheap gossip" Baihaqi explained. One hand thrust a sheet of paper to be signed by Rara as proof .

Rara nodded slowly. Then take the pen and sign the affidavit.

Baihaqi came out again and showed the evidence to the many people in front. There were some who were satisfied with all the excretions along with the evidence provided by Baihaqi but there were also some who were still curious and wondering about the relationship of the two that seemed to be a bit of a mess.

"It's clear!! I proved it too!! So, right now everything is dispersed, don't ever bother Rara, my wife!! Understand!!" baihaqi said firmly and latang. Baihaqi's gaze was fixed and sharp to everyone in front of him.

"We're all right back home. We apologize for the commotion this morning. Please both of you immediately authorize the marriage of your series to be legal in the eyes of the law and the state, so as not to be impressed to play around" said Mr. RT.

"All right, I'll set the time to confirm our marriage. While we will stay here first, before moving to Ponpes my care is in Bogor. For all of you who want to enter your children to Pesantren please contact me, and enter my Ponpes in the Bogor area. Everything is free" said Baihaqi.

"You're a Kiyai?" asked Mr. RT quietly while staring in admiration at Baihaqi.

"Yes" Briefly Baihaqi replied.

"Alright Mr. Kiyai. Later we will inform you again, if there are our children who want to enter and attend school in Pesantren," said Mr. RT slowly.

"I wait for the good news," Baihaqi replied softly.

Everyone had disbanded on the orders of Mr. RT. one by one the people who drove Rara's rented house went home to recording.

Rara hugged her pillow tightly, anxiety and panic mixed into one. The fear of being kicked out of the rented house is also safe to control, although new reasons that arise will actually create new problems for both.

"You're nagging?" ask Baihaqi slowly to Rara.

Both of his eyes were already wet, since earlier his mind went to war on its own. It hurts so much, in blasphemy, in humiliation, in bully, in slander with things that are not true.

Rara lowered her head and drowned her face on the pillow she was holding.

"Hey, don't cry. Your problem is done. You better move the contract. There is me who is always there for you, Ra," said Baihaqi slowly trying to calm the inner Rara who re-shaken over gossip and neighbor's nyinyiran.

"Why never finish this problem.want to when, even I trouble you, gold," said Rara slowly.

"I don't think you're having trouble? I'm glad you're involved in this and I'll try my best to help you, Ra," Baihaqi said softly with sincerity.

"Where do I thirst to move? I want to go home to the village too. Oh my God, why is this trial so hard" said Rara with her own face.

"You focus on your return first. Tonight I take you home to the village" said Baihaqi slowly and took off the dishes and let Rara lay down her body that might need rest.

"I'm tired Mas. I can't think clearly" said Rara Lirih, trying to close her eyes. His stomach was very painful and bruised.

"Rest Ra. I will accompany you, but if I don't want to be accompanied, I will go" Baihaqi said softly. Now Baihaqi helped to tidy up Rara's clothes into the large suitcase.

"It's okay. Sorry if I took a break. My stomach is cramped, Mas," said Rara.

"Your stomach hurts, we go to the hospital. I'm afraid there's nothing going on with your womb" said Baihaqi, who panicked when Rara said her stomach was cramped.

"Just rest. No need for a hospital. Maybe I was thinking too much about the problem to have an effect on my womb," said Rara slowly.

Baihaqi nodded slowly. Rara's body was covered in a blanket, and Baihaqi began to help clear up all of Rara's belongings.

Baihaqi. This place is no longer perfect for Rara. Better Rara, live in a complex or in an apartment. It's better to stay in the Ponpes. Maybe there will be many positive activities that can help Rara forget all the problems she is facing.

Rara, who closed her eyes, could not sleep. His ears were sharp hearing Baihaqi's slow voice that was tidying up Rara's things.

Rara did not care, her mood was really not good since the incident.

This one day, Baihaqi had actually accompanied Rara. Finally, Rara fell asleep and snored softly because she was tired.

Pregnant women are like that, he will snore when asleep because there is pressure on the baby in his stomach.
