Friend, Only You.

Marry Flower!

At dawn, from the direction of Masjib sound Adzan reverberate. Beni awoke when he heard the sound of Muadzim from a mosque not far from his house. When he opened his eyes, Ega was looking at him happily. She smiled sweetly, as if describing her current mood.

“Again, Brother! Thank God we are still given the opportunity to breathe again,” he said warmly.

“Iya, Thank God.” Beni grabs Ega's body then lands a kiss on her forehead.

“I am grateful to be able to see you back after what happened last night,” he continued after enjoying the intimacy they embraced together.

“Yes, although now this body still feels sore and my throat feels sore, at least we managed to get through a terrible danger and almost hurt us both. Of course all this is because of God's help so we are safe.” Ega spilled his gratitude. Unceasingly said hamdalah until Beni realized it to immediately pay two rakaat.

Before that, the two first went to holy, after a few minutes later, Beni and Ega finished with their bathing ritual.

Beni stepped towards the mosque to perform congregational prayers, while Ega performed his prayers at home.

After finishing carrying out two rakaat and other sunnah worship, Beni walked back to Home. When crossing several Mothers who were chatting in one of Berugak. Beni heard one of them mention the name Kembang. That made him stop his steps. He pretended to take the call to know the contents of their chat.

“What Inaq Har? Sick flower? How can? Last night feeling he was fine, while shopping to Warung.” Tanya repeatedly was ejected from the Owner of Warung that visited Beni last night.

“Iya, I am a close neighbor. I heard the Flower was sick, which is why I immediately visited it. The pain is severe! He was in pain, his whole body was bruised as if he had been beaten. It looks like in the same wooden hammer, visible wounds on his arms and back. Cross that!” The woman told me about the condition of the flower. Listening to it at once the Inaq-Inaq looked at each other with a look of astonishment and relief.

“What might be last night The wandering flower keeps bothering people. The person knows his weak side,’ said a woman with a frown thinking. He guessed but his conjecture seemed unreasonable.

“About who was targeted and attacked by Kembang?” tanyanya.

Beni was more interested and eavesdropped on the conversation because of curiosity about the story. This has something to do with the figure of the Woman who attacked him.

“Mas, new from Masjid, yes?” The owner greeted when he saw Beni standing not far from Berugak where they had gathered.

“Nggih,” sahut Beni Brief.

The owner of the shop noticed Beni, his face looking different to what he saw last night. The face was bruised and on his arm there were also cuts. Of course it sparked the curiosity of the Baya Beak Woman. What happened to Mamiq Angga's daughter-in-law? The question appeared in his head.

“Mas, last night's feeling was saucy, but now it's bruising? What's the fight with Mbak Ega, yes?” his question then relieved his curiosity.

“No Saiq, this was a fall last night when I came home from Warung. Don't see the hole, mired!” beni replied flatly while displaying a friendly smile.

“Oh so, kirain attacked by Beings so-genesis.”

“What is he? I just saw, handsome once like a rich man on TV?” ask an Inaq.

“She's Her Husband Mbak Ega, her son Mamiq Angga,” replied Warung Owner told.

“Ooh.” All the Inaqs were looking at Beni who always showed her smile.

“Tabek, Inaq-Inaq I'll excuse you first. Assalamu’alaikum.” Beni. He rushed to leave the crowd of Inaq-Inaqs.

“Don't Kembang like this guy and then attack his wife. Because it did not succeed in luring the Man earlier he continued to be angry so attack them,” said an Inaq who was nod by all of them by saying “Could be”

“Wallahu a'lam,” further they then do not want to be prejudiced.

They know who the Flower is, and so do the Youths here so that no one dares to approach it. In the past, Kembang was a Village Flower and certainly contested by the Youth in this Village and other Villages. But after they knew who the real Flower was, they did not dare to approach it except those who did not know who he was. After the villagers found out, no one dared to tease. They hung out as usual as if they knew nothing. The flower also hangs out as usual, like a normal human. But there was something different about him and something different that all the Lobe Villagers knew. And it's a secret they never talk about if nothing happens.

Beni has arrived at his house. In see Ega put two Fried Rice Plates on the dining table available in the Kitchen.

‘Scent once the aroma, really uploading taste,” said Beni walking towards the dining table. He shifted the chair and sat himself right in front of Ega.

They then enjoyed breakfast by occasionally discussing things lightly. After breakfast, Ega rushed to wash the cooking utensils he used. Beni went out to clean the yard. He tried to sweep even though his hand still hurt from slamming last night. He found his hands hard to move. Despite the pain, he tried to move slowly so as not to stiffen and hope to recover quickly.

After a long effort, Beni finally gave up. He left the leaves scattered in the courtyard. He sighed deeply then slowly let go, repeating a few times until it felt light.

When he was engrossed in looking at the clear water while recording the beauty.

“Son, may I speak for a while,” said the Baya Half Lady who came out of nowhere.Beni only realized when the Woman was already beside her.

Beni frowned full of questions. He did not know this Part Baya Woman and what her purpose was to get her to talk.

"By Saiq, please sit there." Beni allowed the middle-aged Woman to chat with herself, though in her heart was overwhelmed with questions. Somehow there is a concern felt, it may be the incident last night that makes him aware.

Beni and the Beak Baya Woman were seated on a chair made of a large tree trunk. The two of them sat side by side staring at the beauty of the spring.

For a moment there was no talk, only breaths were heard. Beni waited with what she wanted to talk about by the middle-aged woman she did not know so she did not start the conversation.

"Marry the Flower."

Lirih said but clearly heard by Beni's hearing. The handsome man gasped in shock at what the unknown Woman had said. He was overwhelmed with astonishment, because they did not know each other and what was revealed was like ruling him.

Beni looked at the Baya Beak Woman with a dislike look. There is anger that is overruling but being held back. He does not want to be rude to parents, however, must still be respected.

"I beg you son, at this time the Flower is very sick, he is dying. The only way she can survive is for you to marry her. He'll heal if you marry him, he's in love with you because that love makes him sick." The middle-aged woman said with a mouth-watering sobbing. He tried to melt Beni's heart with the unbearable feeling that the young man had.

"No, once again I reiterate I cannot marry Kembang. I love my wife and will not hurt her" Beni refused.

"I beg you, Son, save the Flower. Inaq knows in your heart you have actually fallen in love with the Flower. All Men who see the Flower will definitely fall in love with him including you. Just because you're married and trying to cover up, right?" The middle-aged woman spoke with her floor. He believed this City Youth had been enamored with Flower Charm. No one can resist the Charm that emanates from the body of the Flower including Beni. That's what the lady believed.

Beni paused for a moment with a straight look in front, then said firmly that she would not marry the flower and had no interest in the Girl.

"You refused the Flower? Can't you make her your second wife? After all, the Flower is more beautiful and attractive than your Wife. I think the Flower fits you better, he'll be hotter on the Bed." Again, the Midlife Woman said by comparing her Girl Child to Beni's Wife. His tone contained a vexation not to be denied.

The words made Beni even more angry but trying to be controlled.

"Beauty Flower is not able to make my heart rustle so do not force. Something that is forced especially to be taken from others will potentially make your daughter suffer and hurt. Better to suffer now than to suffer all the time." Beni gave understanding to the middle-aged woman, that all desires must not be fulfilled let alone force the will to others.

"So you still refuse? What can make you accept the Flower?" the woman asked with sharp eyes piercing Beni's eyes.

Beni tries to control the anger. Honestly, he didn't like anyone else to force him, let alone pressure him.

"What your wife should be eliminated first or make it unattractive and lose her sanity so that you are fascinated with the Flower. I can make you leave your wife and choose to marry Kembang." The middle-aged woman was furious and rained down on Beni with a terrifying sounding threat.

Beni realized, what this woman said was not a figment but a seriousness. He took a deep interest and then continued with a prayer to fortify himself from unseen evil.

Ega who faithfully listened to their talk, when his knees were weak, unable to stand. He held on to the wall to support his helpless body.

Unknowingly tears seeped from between her two beautiful eyes. Not pain but haru because Beni did not waver his loyalty. Her husband loved her very much and was not enamored with the charm of Village Flower. But still the fear of the threat made him crumble. What if the Mother of the Flower manages to separate her from Beni. What if he loses his sanity as he says. Of course it makes Beni will be tormented and that loyalty will not last.

Ega did not want to think about all this, he chose to pray to avoid what is thought now. Only to God is there to give up all the affairs of life and the nation of his household. Only prayer is offered to God to always get protection from one's bad intentions.

As they were in silence, there were steps approaching and greetings from someone who came.

Beni returned the greeting, he got up from his seat to greet the person.

"Mommy." Beni grabbed the hands of the Baya Beak Man with reverence. He felt free from the gripping atmosphere with the presence of his In-laws.

"Ma - Mamiq Angga." Stuttering the Baya Beak Woman called Angga.

Angga glanced at the Woman with a sharp gaze, at that instant the Beak Baya Woman looked down in fear. In his mind was wondering, who this Youth was and what it had to do with Angga. Why this young man knew him.

When there was no sound, Ega walked over to them.

"Mamiq has come?" welcome Ega directly grabbed his father's hand to kiss.

"Are you all right, he said you were attacked?" ask Angga. There was concern for his aging look. He scanned Ega's body, because it was covered with hijab so that it did not look bruised.

Angga touched his daughter's arm, and at that moment Ega grimaced in pain.

"Alhamdulillah we are fine. Thanks to God's help so we're safe." Beni replied after no reply from his wife.

Angga turned his gaze to his son-in-law. There were claw wounds imprinted on Beni's face, Bruises on his arms and also his legs. Several times he slammed into the wall and the grappling rocks arranged neatly in the front yard. He also hit the Wood buffer that made his body feel crumpled.

I don't know what strength the figure has that managed to paralyze Beni's dexterity. Also Beni strength from nowhere so stay afloat and fight to save Ega.

Of course it is from God, because in fact Man has no power and effort but Help from God.

After he confirmed the state of the child and his Son-in-law in good condition, now his attention was diverted to the Baya Half-Woman who was in their midst. His presence caused suspicion.

"Inaq Kake, what are you doing here?" asked Angga with a look of astonishment.

"In-this, I was about to go to the shower and continue to see someone here I finally greeted and invited him to chat," replied the woman stammeringly. There was a nervousness on his old face.

That answer made Beni again gasp in shock. She didn't think this woman was good at lying. Beni looked at the Baya Beak Woman asking for an explanation. Instead of explaining instead he got a threatening look and also a cynical smile.

"Yes, this Saiq invited me to chat, he ordered me to marry Kembang and I refused him firmly." Beni revealed the contents of the conversation between them. He doesn't want to cover up what's really going on. Her father-in-law must know the threat to be addressed to her and Ega.

The story of his son-in-law made Angga surprised. He looked at the woman for an explanation.

"No, this guy is lying. I just told you about the local wisdom in this village. Since she's a guest, it makes me obligated to explain," the woman replied smoothly. He directed his smile at Beni. Smiling is like a picture of victory.

"Or don't you like Kembang and want to marry her. Don't be shy if you like, why should you turn the word around. Come home, you'll be happy with your arrival." The Baya Beak woman said with a pleased face. He dispels the fear by turning the word around to trap Beni.

Beni, again shocked. He shook his head in denial.

Seriate.
