Friend, Only You.

Chapters 20. The Story of Saik Aminah

Sunny afternoon, Saik Aminah is busy cleaning the Garden assisted by Ega. Sometimes I hear laughter from both of them. Their lips are busy throwing laughter along with their nimble hands working to clean the weeds that interfere with plant growth.

"Fine. Dong's story about his love story, something exciting?" tanya Ega interrupted busy mengabit weeds.

Saik Aminah just smiled without answering. His hands were busy working ignoring the question of the sweet girl accompanying him. It seems Saik Aminah is reluctant to tell her past.

"So you don't want to tell a story, do you? Saik Aminah is stingy, ah," said Ega occasionally wiping his sweat.

"Sweety cheapskate anyway! saik's love story is not special. In the past, mah used letters, there were no mobile phones, especially those called Medsos. There is no Bucin-bucinan." In the end Saik Aminah started telling stories. He stopped his past activities as if glaring at the past.

"Well Aminah know about bucin, Saik turns out to be slang too huh?" ask Ega.

"Hehehe. because of Sinetron so know the term Kid today." Saik Aminah began with her laughter.

"There used to be nothing like now if the kangen just stay on the phone or directly come to his house. We used to if you had to write a letter. Continue to get a happy letter for mercy, if you can not read we will ask for help people who can read to membacain letter." Saik Aminah continues her story.

"Woh dong caught with others about the contents of the letter, no privacy dong?"

"You know how else you have to have people read to know the contents. Especially if we become Mak Comblang, our satiety because whatever we ask for must be classified, we just sell the name directly estimated and money out," replied Saik Aminah reminiscing about her youth. He smiled, because it reminded of the funny thing he had in his life.

"The old age must have a big capital dong to be able to worship the heart."

Saik Aminah nodded her head to justify the statement Sweet girl who remained engrossed in cleaning the bully grass. But his ears remained active listening to the story of Saik Aminah. At that moment she remembered her late Husband who always sent her garden produce in the form of Bananas, Cassava and whatever the agricultural products. Every time he comes, he always carries a hand. Not necessarily in the form of food sometimes Saik Aminah gets a hand in the form of all Soap and powder sprinkles with flowers.

Aminah was a widow. Her husband died of illness and she also had no children. His job was a farm worker. After the death of her Husband, all this time she occupied an empty land. The owner of the vacant land was kind enough to let Aminah stay there while managing the land into a vegetable garden.

For a long time Aminah occupied her reot hut and to provide for life, she managed the land owned by others by planting some vegetables, fruits and also medicinal herbs. From the results of the garden that he can connect his life.

After the land was sold and bought by Ega, Aminah was allowed by Ega to settle there and even developed a room right next to the mother house. Ega also continued to let Aminah manage his Vegetable Garden because the land is quite large and some of the land was built a house for Ega and Aminah residence. Because Ega lived alone, Aminah was appointed by Ega as her second mother who accompanied and watched her.

"Yes like that, we communicate using letters that are poetic and romantic, some write poetry and some write Pantun. I don't know who is asked please make the letters clear when we receive it as if flying. Most Saik Inget about the love letters of the past that the pantun contains 'Four plus seven equals eleven, Sumat did not have to be reciprocated. There is also the inscription that there is a Well in the field we can ride a bath, if there is a long life we can meet again and lastly definitely the pantunnya Cenderawasih bird finches, Enough so and thank you." It was heard that Saik Aminah continued her story after a few minutes of silence given her past. Saik Aminah then smiled considering the romance of her time.

"Maha." Ega could not help but laugh and his laughter managed to drive away the sadness felt. Such a cute pantun that is able to melt the tense atmosphere becomes comfortable. Once they were rich in literature, they suddenly became the Pujangga of love when love knocked on the door of the heart and entered and reigned in someone's heart. Obviously, in love.

"Wah it turns out that the past is more bucolic and romantic than the present. If now their feelings are more transparent and there is no such thing as shame, if you like to immediately say, no matter who goes first. Their hearts are clearer and more straightforward," said Ega, who was troubled about the behavior of teenagers in his day. They are free to express their feelings. There is no such thing as Ilak-Ilak kelewe, ilak-ilak laguk mele (Shy but willing)." Ega continued his opinion while describing the situation of teenagers now who are the darkest of freedom. Many of them have to feel the bitterness. It is not yet time to bear the burden but to carry it because of kebablasan. Wanna say what? if there is no fortification within itself as a defense against that freedom. Faith seems difficult to hold even very easy regardless when the luxury and glitter of the world is displayed. Faith is a fortress, but it turns out that it is very easy to collapse. It should remain strong and firmly held, rather than let it be quickly crushed in combat by a free life. It should be our morals that should not change but our changing mindset to always keep up with the times. We must follow the times but do not let the times deceive us. We must hold fast to our faith as a bulwark to advance the path to a glorious future in the World and the Achaherat.

"Like Baiq and Hasan, both shy about expressing feelings. You both prefer to be quiet and keep it in your heart" said Saik Aminah carefully. He looked at Ega instantly and Ega's originally cheerful face turned cloudy.

"Sorry Saik, because he was sassy to talk about Hasan," said Saik Aminah felt guilty.

Ega smiled to exorcise the cloudy look on his face.

"Not what, I'm fine. Shame is greater than love itself. I am ashamed to show love in my heart because it may turn out that love is not welcome. As for making a sound, that hand must be welcomed with the other hand as well as love." Ega responded to Saik Aminah's comments with wise words. Even though he was currently upset but that did not mean allowing the sadness to control his heart. He still had to step forward with a blooming smile. Whatever happens later regarding the continuation of his relationship with Hasan, he must be ready.

Since Hasan's return there has been no news of the young man. He seemed to disappear even his Medsos were removed. Ega seemed to lose track, the phone number could not be contacted. Ega tried to contact him but his number was off. It seems San is not using his usual number to contact him. San may have changed the mobile number. That guess was in Ega's mind. The girl concludes, that San is forgetting her.

"What's Baiq, all right? Why does it sound so claustrophobic?" saik Aminah asked worriedly.

"There's nothing." Ega answered softly. He realized his chest was claustrophobic at this moment from thinking too much about the obscurity that was occurring. He doesn't want to be like this? living in obscurity makes him unable to continue his steps. If he continues the steps it turns out that San inging stepped in with him. It was the same as him leaving her. But if he just keeps quiet, and it turns out that San does not want to step together, it means that he allows time to be wasted and wasted. Of course the obscurity stopped his pace, it was the anxiety that pressed him down. He didn't want to live like this, he wanted to move in a more certain direction.

"Why didn't Baiq just ask Hasan why she had suddenly disappeared. It's not that Baiq knows the address," advised Saik Aminah. Saik Aminah looked at the sweet girl beside her. She was saddened by the girl's never-before-seen love story. His career is brilliant, he has a very good friend and attention but it turns out his love is not like his career. She once failed to get married, so moved on again she was hurt.

Ega shook his head.

"It's Saik, what's the reason I'm there? What his family said saw a girl come to a man's house just to ask for an explanation why suddenly the man was away from him. I have pride, maybe Hasan really wants to stay away from me and does not want to relate to me anymore" replied Ega rejecting the advice of Saik Aminah.

You are so sorry why you are so beautiful

Makes this feeling too hopeful

While the fact that reveals that about you always deceive.

I may have been deceived, and I do not want to be fooled again and again.

(The Heart Voice )

Ega once planned a meeting with Hasan. Accidental meeting in deliberate. Ega pretended to be somewhere and strayed there then stopped by just for a short break. When they meet they can speak from heart to heart explaining all things but undo that ridiculous idea.

Ega had thought of giving himself up, inevitably Hasan's family had to accept it but the crazy idea was dismissed. That embarrassment kicked back any absurd ideas that would only tear down her self-esteem as a Girl.

Ega thought logically alone, if the young man suddenly disappeared it meant that he did not want to come into contact with him anymore.

"Rise up and move on with your life" the inner Ega recalled the message from the man.

"Here is Baiq, are you patient? Love must be understood and do not let it rule us too much to do anything beyond reason. Place Love as flexible as possible and do not be too rigid because when we can not reach love itself then we will be fine." Saik Aminah gives a message to the sweet, kind-hearted girl who is willing to consider her family.

"Love to Man is sometimes painful because it is ephemeral and pseudo while love to God should be fought for because God never denies His Promise." Saik Aminah continued his advice after pausing for a few minutes, giving Ega space to think about it. Being silent does not mean not digesting what Saik Aminah said. He was thinking about it and justifying it. Reason, must be used not only to talk about wish but there is no power to make it real.

"Truly Saik Aminah, it is not appropriate that we continue to dissolve in sadness there is still much we have to do. Happiness is not just to be able to reach someone's heart and be with him but happiness is a spacious heart caused by sincerity and patience to accept all the destiny that happens of course with gratitude make us strong." Ega finally agreed with Saik Aminah. He also reminded himself to be grateful.

"Of course, there is wisdom from all things."

"Well, pray for me from the worst possible eventuality. I am an ordinary human being who has a fragile nature and is easily injured. As strong as humans if hurt will certainly be hurt, if left behind by people who are expected will definitely feel lost and injured. It's natural that we are heartbroken" said Ega poured out his sadness. Somehow he felt he would get hurt again, why his mind was heading in that direction that he was so hard to get away with. He didn't want to think about it, but from Hasan's predictable attitude the wound was getting clearer and more real. Just wait for time, the current him had already started to feel it and that time would come to smash his heart even worse.

"Origin don't go crazy" Saik Aminah said flatly.

"Let's go who's crazy?" someone said from behind surprised them both.

Seriate.
