GOODBYE

24. koe lanang

Later that night, after Isya's prayer from the mosque, Akas chatted with some of his friends at the fence...

“He, eagle cacune! Here you!” call Sutomo, from inside the house.

I grimaced, resigned from his friends, then went in to fulfill the police call of the soldier. There was Rani also in the living room, smiling sweetly as usual.

“What, Mas?” ask the sister.

“Sit!” sutomo said, his voice dragged. “This is the guy, Ran? Who claimed to be eagle cacune?” he asked his wife.

Rani laughed softly, Akas nyerdeleh.

Sutomo looked at his sister, wearing the usual glaring style.

“Where is the eagle? There's no one, ah. Who like gini near emprit,” said the lieutenant, then ngakak.

Rani laughed again, a little loudly. Akas. Damnit....

After retaliating for a moment, finally these emprites reached the point. What else if it's not about the dear Asih.

“I don't mean to ban,” said Sutomo. “Free, maybe it's good you weigh-in again, but not too far away. Asih Kiai Sanusi's son, we both know who he is. It's nothing, your mother's a Christian. It will be there.”

Akas sighed. Rani's a little down.

“Where?” Sutomo asked, a moment later.

I'm still silent, frankly it's hard to answer. What her sister's husband said just now, could be true. There is still a possibility that one day stray to the question of Christianity Rani. His name is also the family of the Islamic leaders.

“But the one who fell in love with me, right? Not Madam Rani. What's problem? Am I not Islam? I went to the mosque, I prayed, I read al-Qur’an. What's again? If the problem is that I am Rani's sister, yes not fair. Who chooses and who determines? Why am I not Kang Idung's sister, hayo?” babble Akas in heart. Arguing with himself.

“When I choose your mother, frankly not easy business. Rani's family, safe. It was only Mas Yono who asked a little. Once I answer, it's done. Segan probably because I have a gun,” Sutomo nyerdeleh.

Rani mesem. Akas also grimaced a little.

“My family is running, Cash. Unfortunately, almost every day the threat continues. Kayak was shot by a machine gun. Aren't you, Ran?”

The wife nodded slowly.

“If I, don't work. No such threats. Anyway, Rani. Want Islam to be Christian, Rani still my choice to be a wife. But, it was me, the soldier. Obviously the same as your soft mama like gini. Crying continues every day,” Sutomo mangosteen, somewhat laughable.

Rani smiled thinly while twitching her eyes. Probably withstanding the pressure of tears.

“In short, Cash. The point is, not easy,” said Sutomo.

I sighed, “Terus, what should I do, Mas?”

“As far as you are, you want to live. I mean tell this story, so you have a picture. Not to be afraid. You're males. Make your own decisions, all the risk responsibility.”

Akas. “Yes, Mas, I understand. In the past, Mbah Bagyo also told stories. He said, the age of the same father mother is also not easy..”.

“Well, that you know,” Sutomo said.

“True about that. Everyone knows, but not everyone wants to know. The problem is yes, your mother is Christian. I think it will get there later. Thank goodness if not, but take the bad possibilities, don't be good.”

“Eem..., if you make Mbak it is okay. Mbak is common, wong has a reckless occurrence of marriage with Masmu who is Islamic. Now, he also lives in the middle of the village of Islam. For you, it seems that it is also not too much, wong you lanang like Masmu said earlier. But, How's Asih? If that was the case, he would have been pressured by his family. Don't forget, she's a girl. That rasane pain, Kas. Do you not pity” said Rani, a little sigh.

I was shocked to hear Rani's words. Frankly, he himself had not had the time to think up to it. Really subtle feeling mbaknya this, as her husband said earlier. Can be reviewed from the direction of Asih. Even though you know not yet. Salut Akas, knowing that his brother really thought of Asih. Not just a pleasantry. Her husband was overwhelmed, amazed as well as he seemed.

It was quiet a little after that.

“But, this is only about, Kas. Not necessarily the case. You don't whine, dong. Later more ugly,” chirped Rani, break the silence.

Sutomo laughed, Akas grimaced. You see, it's getting ugly. Duh....

“Already. Now, that should be done, yes. Which later, how later. Most importantly, you have a picture. Aren't you, Mas?” Rani asked for reinforcement from her husband.

Sutomo.

“Eem, if that later turns out to be exactly the case, how?” Akas muttered tanya. As his brother-in-law said, take the bad odds.

“Then, yes that is the case. Must be borne, wong now has read the risk. Yes, right?” Rani looked at her sister's darling.

Sutomo.

“Modal. If you don't have this stuff, back off now. It was likely ugly, like a wounded soldier who was alone besieged by the enemy. If he still has recklessness, surely move on. Although thin, if he goes forward there is still a hope of death life expectancy. If silent, yes already, dead on the spot,” he commented military style.

“Ah, this Tomo Mas. Dying all,” Rani protest.

“Lho? Life is about dying, Yu? Yes, no?”

“Nggak ah, soldiers sing senenge just desperately. Ready to die, what?”

“Ya should already dong. Officers...”

“Totally?” Rani plays her “maut” style.

Sutomo. “But ding, hehehe.... Come on, sometime. It's hard for me to see you.”

Next, they looked at each other, smiling. For a moment, Akas seemed to be a little. Where is far away.

“Mbak...,” he said, kind of hard.

“What, Cash?” rani's face looks a little red.

“What's up, Cash? How is this?” Akas tickled the mesem.

“Hahaha..,” Sutomo laughs. “The story, find it yourself.”

Akas added to mendelik. Rani mesem. Sutomo continued chuckling.
