Girl For The Widow

105

"Any Keynand?"

Rizqia stood still in disbelief at what she heard and saw. The girl did not believe her still clear and bright vision.

"Sister Qia?" call Raski look happy to see Rizqia who is still standing before them.

Rizqia still could not believe what she heard and saw. On top of Berugak he saw Keynand was looking at him with an inexplicable gesture. There is also Riski who also directs his eyes towards him. All pairs of eyes were centered on her self, which was sculpted with a medium-sized Kresek in her hand.

"Dec why are you standing there? This is there guests want to meet you lo, Dek," said Habibah sounding enthusiastic. He came down from Berugak then stepped towards Rizqia who was still unmoved. The touch of a hand on her shoulder made Rizqia return in her consciousness. He felt like he was on Mars, alone in silence. Apparently, the evidence of oxygen is very difficult to penetrate his lungs.

"Astaghfirullah." Rizqia is concerned with awakening from momentary attitudes.

"Sir Keynand, Mr. Hamiz, Dadek Raski" he said later. For a moment he managed to return to Earth after a few minutes he felt he was on Mars.

"Sister Qia?" Again, Raski called out while watching the girl standing before her.

"Daddy's the one standing there, Kak Qia, right?" raski asked Keynand.

"Yes that's Kak Qia, apparently Dadek Raski still remembers," Keynand replied enthusiastically.

"Yes Daddy, still remember dong" said Raski. The boy was excited to meet Rizqia again. Seen his smile expands with happy twinkles in his eyes. While Rizqia was still riveted within the residence. He did not believe in his sight and hearing at all.

"Dec from anywhere?" habibah asked looking at Rizqia's messy appearance.

"This is my sister, I am from the Forest. I met the Kesambik Tree and the fruit was ripe, I continued climbing so it became a mess of gini," replied Rizqia in the end realized. He smiled awkwardly making Raski unable to hold back her laughter watching the funny look

As for Keynand, the handsome Duda only smiled clumsily

"Belcome fruit? Where do I want, dong!" said Riski while thrusting her hand. The bujang was not affected at all by the awkward atmosphere that bound the two people. He was more interested in the Kesambik fruit brought by Rizqia.

"Mamiq Rari, what's the fruit of Kesambik, anyway? Is it good, huh?" tanya Renia was curious about the contents of Kresek given by Rizqia. Keynand was also curious about the fruit that had just heard his name, seen him approaching to see it.

"Eh there is this fruit too, what the hell is its name?" Tanya Riski showed a bright red fruit.

Rizqia shook her head not knowing the name of the forest fruit. He found the fruit before he found the Kesambik Tree. He tried the red fruit which was sweet and slightly sour.

Habibah grabbed one seed of the fruit and watched it closely. His forehead shriveled like trying to remember.

"This fruit has been found again, this is rare. If people here call it Kelak fruit if we do not know the Indonesian language," replied Habibah later after remembering the fruit.

In the past when he was a child, he and his friends often hunted fruits that grew wild in the forest and on the farm. There are Mureng fruit (small size cantaloupe), samplokan, Kesambik, Gol or Bidara fruit and the fruit of Emptiness. Now these fruits are rarely found seems to have begun to be rare.

"This fruit is like Kelenkeng, but it tastes a bit asem and there is a sweet taste. As a matter of fact," said Keynand commenting on the taste of the Kesambik fruit that is being eaten.

Renia and Raski are seen trying both fruits. Seen they like the two rare fruits, proved they snatch each other to get a thick stalk of content.

"Earlier when we were children, we added Sugar to the fruit Kesambik already peeled so as not to be too asem," said Habibah recounting his childhood experience.

Next they enjoy the fruits interspersed with chatter and laughter full of familiarity.

"Dek, take Brother Renia and Dadk Raski to the room, gih! Looks like they need a break" Habibah said after their chat was not heard again.

Rizqia nodded. He obediently led Renia and Raski to his room. There was a laugh that sounded as their steps entered the house. While Habibah bids farewell to prepare their lunch.

"It's cold water, Ki!" keynand sank both of his legs in Gumbang Lake.

Buaaaar

Not waiting for comments from Keynand first, Riski immediately threw himself and swam into the middle of the lake.

"Can we shower here? Keep it safe, right? There's no Crocodile?" Keynand asked slightly hardened his voice because Riski was already in the middle of the Lake.

"Aman, really? The water was so fast," cried Riski answering the question of Keynand who was still sitting on the shores of the Lake with his feet submerged into the water.

"Let's take a shower, Bang!" Take Riski to see Keynand not getting up from his seat. Keynand answered with a slit. Not do not want to enjoy the fresh water of this lake, only there is a sense of unease. He had not met with Rizqi of course it made him hold back, it was disrespectful to play straight away.

As they were engrossed in playing water, there was a roar of cars entering Habibah's home yard. It was confirmed that the car belonged to Rizqy.

Keynand hurried up from his seat and walked towards Habibah's house which was not too far away.

"Assalamu'alaikum." I heard greetings echoing.

Habibah stops activities in the Kitchen. She approached her husband after returning his greetings. The hand of his Imam then kissed his back with reverence.

"Say we have guests, where are they?" said Rizqy asked while stroking the head of Habibah.

"Yes Mas, Mr. Keynand, his Lecturer Qia continues to be the same as his son Mr. Keynand. He said Mr. Keynand came here to review the Shrimp Farm in Madayin Village, it belongs to Mr. Rian," Habibah replied telling the intention of the arrival of Keynand.

"So Mr. Keynand and his Lecturer Qia named Riski were going to the Lake while the children were resting in Qia's room." Habibah explained.

"Oh that? I don't think Keynand came to propose to Qia. Or maybe he misses you. Swim in the lake while drinking the water" said Rizqy flat. Habibah pouted in response to her husband's comments.

"Jealous?" ask Habibah. There was a sense of unease when her husband talked about this.

"Of course, it could have been Keynand coming as Ravana or Arjuna looking for Qia. We don't know the real purpose of this work visit yet" said Rizqy seriously. A moment later pinched the pointed nose. Rizqy knew that his wife did not like his words. It was all just a guess as a husband. There is no way Keynand did not hesitate when he met Habibah. There must be a sense of it because he had fallen in love with Habibah.

"Serious, I was joking! I believe in you and I also believe in Keynand. He couldn't possibly drink water while diving, slovenly ah!" Rizqy reconciles his wife's heart with jokes. There was a ruckus echoing as Habibah's hand landed on his arm.

Habibah hit the arm gently and they both entered the house. The chatter continued as the burly hand clasped Habibah's waist possessively.

"Mas not angry with Mr. Keynand's presence here?" ask Habibah. There was a worry in his heart if it turned out that Rizqy still held his anger.

Seriate.
