Getting Married Late
#41
A Man craves a perfect woman and so do women crave the figure of a perfect man, but they do not know that God has created them to perfect each other.(pearl)
After running aground his deal-deal with Faiz, now Lula began to open opportunities to his SMS friends again.
He claimed to be named Agus, from Rowokembu Village Wonopringgo Subdistrict, still in Pekalongan Regency as well, but when Lula asked if she knew her college friend named Dewi Aminah she replied she did not know.
Agus is a laborer in a stone-breaking factory, he is a one-child widower, a man is also the same as Faiz. And in his house he took care of the goats.
Agus never mentioned his age, Lula was shocked when he called, apparently his voice could not lie to his age.

As is customary in previous years every Ramadan ahead of the Eid Al-Fitr Day, in her sister's grocery store there is a lot of demand for Snacks and snacks. Lula always helped with pleasure. He changed the packaging of snacks from 3 to 5 kilograms was converted into packaging of 250 grams to 1000 grams. cling changed.
When Lula was busy struggling with the wheat flour-based snacks, suddenly Mak Kulsum approached and whispered something.
"Atif at his house Fauzi wants to see you, Lula." whispered Mak Kulsum told him something.
In this kind of situation? the sultry body of the morning was dry, a lot of flour and oil may have been a lot of sticking on Lula's face. Lula thought for a moment.
"Later at night just say the same he told me to come again, Mom. I'm not ready to meet now, my face must be kluwus." refused Lula.
The time is still fasting want to look at the same views of the opposite sex anyway.inner Lula
Mak Kulsum left that place.
Sister Izzah who saw the conversation between Lula and her mother-in-law became a kepo.
"What's up, Miss Lek?" Izzah asked Lula.
"Ehmm.that, the Atif that Corotan boy said he wanted to play, he was already at Fauzi's house" replied Lula.
"Why not find it, Miss Lek? Just stay your job, let it be handled by others." ordered Mbak Izzah.
Lula didn't stop her work either,
"It's okay, Ma'am. I'll tell you to come again tonight." said Lula.
Lula continued her work, occasionally stopping just to pray.
The night after the tarawih prayer, Lula wore a black long-sleeved knitting shirt with a white-based batik overalls exterior, while at home Lula was not yet hijabed, so he didn't wear a head covering even though he was about to receive guests, he just tucked his long, curly hair.
About half-nine, came two handsome young men, it turns out Atif brought his closest friend, Lula so confused which one is named Atif. both are equally handsome.
Lula watched the two young men.
Still brondong all, where is the name Atif? I just met them this time, but how come I've seen one of them, but where? Inner Lula.
Confused also want to start from where, fortunately Usnul brought warm tea and snacks. So that Lula can offer the two young men to enjoy.
"Monggo please enjoy tea and snacks, Mas-mas." Lula started to let.
The two young men took a glass of tea water on the table and drank it. Suddenly one of them stumbled.
"My wife drinks like a demon" he said.
Oh, he's got a wife, not Atif donk. Inner Lula again.
"You may see the devil, haha." said Lula with a laugh.
"Really, Mom. One bottle if drunk directly exhausted" he said. Though Lula knew that it was only her wits to melt the atmosphere.
It seemed that the other young man was still shy to speak. Suddenly the new Mak Kulsum sitting in the middle room asked.
"Where's the house, Mas?" yang Mak Kulsum.
"In Corotan, Mommy." replied Atif.
"Oo, Corotan. If Rahayu is the merchant of Brabatan where is he?" ask Mak Kulsum again.
"He's my Mummy, Mak. I am his sister who is the most mbontot." replied Atif again.
"How many brothers?" ask Mak Kulsum.
"There are five brothers, Mommy. Mbak Rahayu the first child." replied Atif.
"Well, I'm also five brothers." Lula chiming. "Oh yeah, you still work at Prajegan?" tanyanya.
"It's not anymore, two years I'm just at home, sobo rice field" replied Atif. "You're still teaching yourself in Gondorio?" tanyanya.
"Still." answered Lula briefly.
"That's SD or MI?" Ask Atif again.
"MI, the SD is in Prajegan." replied Lula.
"Where is MI? Maybe I know."
"In MI Mbelar, his name is Amin Fadholi. You familiar?"
"Oh, you're Amin Fadholi's sister. Like I've seen you before, but where. You look alike." said Lula. "Yes clearly know although not very familiar, we often meet at KKG." he added.
The conversation lasted until tenpm, the two guests finally said goodbye to go home.
Atif the last of five children, his mother had long died, while his father had remarried several times, and now lives with his last wife.
Now Lula is more confused, two people who come away from her criteria about age. In Lula's shadow, she wanted her husband to be a maximum of 5 years on her or at least equal to her age.
While two men came, one was far below him while the other was far above him.
Lula recalled her dream a few years ago about the jeans she had prepared. Then the old man who pointed to the southeast was probably the direction of the Corotan shaman where Atif lived.
While Mas Agus who lives in Wonopringgo District is going west. Ah, it might just be a coincidence, Lula brushed aside her own thoughts. Don't over-believe the dream, Lula, it's superstitious. Believe only in Allah, pray isthorohlah.
But God can also guide through dreams.
If you think about it, choose Atif who is young, if you choose Mas Agus later if you have children still small, still need fees for school, while his parents are no longer productive, if you have children, pity his son.

There are times when you fight and be fought by someone. Be patient and focus on strengthening yourself. Be assured that Allah will present and show you the perfectors of your religion at the right time. (Pearl words)
Sunset Ramadhan departs, changes the dawn of Shawwal in the morning, brings the light of peace at the end of Ramadan, spreads blessings on the day of victory, Eidzul Fitri.
The day was the same as the first day of Eidzul Fitri before, Lula just around the village with his friends. He only rested at home, while at night he joined the group of relatives to Gondorio.
After visiting relatives in the Gondorio dukuh, Lula got a phone call from Agus. Lula pressed the answer button.
"Assalamu'alaikum," Lula greeted with greetings.
"Wa'alaikumussalam, what else, Dek?" ask Agus on the other end of the phone.
"Give me a call, Mas." replied Lula.
"Call from whom?" ask Agus again.
"Phone from Mas Agus, hehe." said Lula.
"Who else do I think I'm getting a call from, I'm interrupting ya?" agus was not feeling well.
"No, my HP is the only one who receives a phone. I just returned home from my brother's house in the next village." explained Lula.
"Oh yeah, deck. You're home tomorrow? I want to play." asked Agus.
"Tomorrow at 9 am I and my brothers want to come to the place of the brother in Karanganyar District, Mas." replied Lula.
"If I come early, what about seven o'clock? I just want to see you." asked Agus again expectantly.
"May it be seven." said Lula.
"Thank you, Lula. Oh yes, I want to be honest again with you, please do not be angry, yes" Pinta Agus.
"Yes, I'm ready to hear it." said Lula
"Actually my name is not Agus, but Nahrowi. From now on you can call me Mas Rowi." he said.
"Oh.." That's just Lula's response.
Lula felt disappointed because he had been lied to, even though it was just a name, but it did not rule out the possibility of lying other things as well, right?
"It was night, Mas was sleepy" said Agus eh Rowi who sounded while yawning.
"Yaudah, until tomorrow, Mom. I'm sleepy too. Assalamu'alaikum." Lula ended the conversation with a greeting.
"Wa'alaikumussalam" replied Rowi.
Lula put her HP on the table then lay down next to Usnul and fell asleep.
The night was cold, today had passed, what was done was done. Embrace your dreams, all night. Tomorrow will come with a whole new light.
