Jaka Someh's

Chapters 12. An unplanned marriage.

While Jaka Someh was actively practicing on the mountain Halimun, Mr. Rohadi was confused waiting for his only daughter who had not returned home. It was so late at night but Asih still did not see the trunk of his nose. Restless and full of worry, Mr. Rohadi kept waiting for him to come home. For a few days, Asih has often come home at night. Mr. Rohadi had actually reminded him to go home before the magrib, but it turns out his advice was never reviewed by Asih.

At eleven o'clock in the evening Asih had just come to his house in between by four of his friends, one woman and three men. Nyi Asih was walking around, worried that her father would know that she was coming home late at night. He did not know that his father was waiting for him. Slowly open the door of the house. Just as he stepped into the house, suddenly his father's voice sounded,

“Where's Nyai ?” said mr. Rohadi.

Asih was surprised his father was still not asleep, with a stutter he replied, “Aanu, Ba Pak, Aa ha bis watch wa the golek, Father has not slept?”

Mr. Rohadi looks upset to see his son come home late at night like that. I wanted him to scold his son right then and there. He only realized, it was midnight. He also understands the character of his son who easily becomes mutung when scolded. Finally, despite being upset with his daughter, Mr. Rohadi still tried to say softly to his daughter,

“Ya stop! but Nyai can't repeat anymore! actually Mr. Tea is upset if you come home late at night like this, it's nothing because you are worried, afraid of anything happening to you Nyai, Nyai is a woman ! “

Asih, who was not willing to argue with his father, said,

“Good sir, Asih ask maap, Asih promise will not repeat the act of asih again”

Asih went straight into his room.

In the morning, Mr. Rohadi prepared breakfast for his beloved daughter. After breakfast is ready, Mr. Rohadi headed to his room Asih, to wake his beloved daughter. Not until Mr. Rohadi to his room Asih, suddenly the door of Asih's room opened. He saw Asih coming out of his room in a hurry while putting his left palm in his mouth. He walked hurriedly towards the courtyard of the house. In that yard he vomited. Mr. Rohadi who saw his son vomit, his heart became worried, afraid his son experienced severe pain.

“Why Nyai, are you sick?” said mr. Rohadi.

Asih answered his father's question, though,

“Do not know sir, suddenly Asih feel nauseous to vomit, maybe Asih catch a cold, sir “

Mr. Rohadi then carried his daughter, so that he would return to his room to rest there.

“Nyai, you rest first! briefly make wedang ginger” said Mr. Rohadi.

Mr. Rohadi immediately went to the kitchen to make ginger wedang for his favorite daughter. When she was ready, she went back to her son's room,

“ini Nyai!  you drink first wedang gaheya!  “ Asih assented his father,

” well father, Asih drink wedang gahenya first yes ? “.

Not long after drinking ginger wedang made by his father, his body already looks fit again.

The next day, Asih vomited again. Seeing his son often experience vomiting in the morning, Mr. Rohadi became worried about his son why-why. He also returned to make ginger wedang for his son. Asih body was back in shape after drinking ginger wedang made by his father. The following days it turned out Asih was still vomiting, even increased frequency. Not just in the morning, but in the day and night. Mr. Rohadi became suspicious when he saw the condition of his daughter like that. Especially when observed, the Asih body is like experiencing changes, namely the stomach is bloated. Mr. Rohadi said in his heart,

“don't-don't she get pregnant?  wah wretched that she was pregnant out of wedlock “.

Want it felt Mr. Rohadi asked directly his suspicions to Asih, but because of his arrogance he also volunteered to delay his curiosity. After a week, Mr. Rohadi got the right time to talk with Asih.  Finally he asked his curiosity to Asih. With the language set as smooth as possible so that his son does not offend Mr. Rohadi began his discussion,

“Nyai please prepare the father, please Nyai be honest to the father, is Nyai tea.ha... “

Mr. Rohadi did not continue his question. Asih knew the meaning of his father's question, he also answered casually,

“I mean father asih tea pregnant so?”

Mr. Rohadi got nervous,

“Oh, well not Nyai, I asked if I offended Nyai, no intention of my father offending Nyai, I'm just worried because I saw you vomit often, and your stomach is like bloated,  like a pregnant person “

Asih was only able to keep quiet, she felt confused what to say to her father, she felt like she was indeed pregnant by her lover, pennant. And he said to his father,

“Why did Father tea accuse the non-no to Asih?  Asih can not be pregnant or Mr, Asih vomit because of the cold just“

Mr. Rohadi was a little relieved to hear his daughter's answer,

“Ooh so Nyai, Alhamdulillah if that's the case, I'm relieved now”.

Fortunately his father no longer questioned him, so for a while Asih felt calm.

He pretended to sleep in his room.

Although Asih tried to hide her pregnancy, but over time, after turning 3 months she often experienced nausea and vomiting. Her pregnancy was already so obvious, it was no longer possible for her to refute. His stomach is now swollen. Confused not knowing how. People have also begun to shake the state of Asih.

Mr. Rohadi can now confirm that his son is indeed pregnant. With courage, finally Mr. Rohadi asked his son directly,

“Truth be to you or Nyai! who's got you impregnated? what is the pennant?”

Asih was unable to hold back her tears, she finally admitted that she was indeed impregnated by Panji. Mr. Rohadi immediately felt weak after hearing his daughter's confession, but he tried to spread himself,

“Yes already Nyai, now you will hold him accountable, so that the pennant will marry you, wait here!  dad wants to go to the house of the panji “

Mr. Rohadi immediately went to Panji's house. There he only met with the two pennant parents, Mr. Sumanta and Bu Yuyun.

Mr. Rohadi opened the conversation,

“Excuse me Mr. Manta, I mean my arrival here tea to meet the father, son Panji, I want to hold the father accountable ! “

“That's Mr Rohadi what responsibility? What has the banner done?”

Mr. Rohadi then told about his daughter who had been pregnant by the banner. After hearing Mr. Rohadi's story, Mr. Manta looked confused, then he said, saying,

“I ask you to please Mr Rohadi, how is this? I am so confused, not that I do not want my son to be responsible for his actions, but the problem is that the tea pennant has been running away from home this week sir, I don't know where this child is?  a week ago, I had an emotion, I was too hard to scold my son the banner, I was angry after he stole my clove money, And the money was used for gambling. So I kebablasan expel him, I ask maap Sir, Do not know if there is this incident “

Mr. Rohadi heard Mr. Manta's words his face turned pale, his body also became limp and looked very difficult.

There's no way he's forcing Manta again, to hold him accountable. Finally, after a little pleasantry, He decided to leave before Mr. Manta. He thought it was useless to linger there, because it did not produce any solution to his problem.

Mr. Rohadi continued to think that he hoped to find a solution to his daughter's pregnancy problem, but he was still unable to find it.

Stomach Asih increasingly growing increasingly distended, even though the existence of Panji is still unknown. Mr. Rohadi muttered in his heart,

“Wah wretched like this! I can't keep waiting for the banner that is not clear whereabouts, I have to find a husband for Nyai, but who is the man who wants to marry my son?”

Mr. Rohadi continued to think about finding a man who if he wanted to marry his daughter. Suddenly he remembered with Jaka Someh,

“Duh why don't I ask Jang Someh please huh? hopefully he will help me, want to marry Asih “

The next day, after the dawn prayer Mr. Rohadi went to the house of Jaka Someh on the slopes of Mount Halimun. Just before Jaka Someh left for his farm, Mr. Rohadi met with Jaka Someh. Jaka Someh was surprised by the sudden arrival of Mr. Rohadi to his hut, smiling kindly he greeted Mr. Rohadi,

“Bapak ? Assalamualaikum, how are you? koq tumben, did you come to my hut? what's up Sir ?”

Jaka Someh asked Mr. Rohadi. Mr. Rohadi looked hard to answer Jaka Someh's question. Slowly, he also told about the problems his family was experiencing. At the end of the story he said to Jaka Someh,

“I mean you come here tea want help testing, duh hopefully try to help the father and Asih, please oruh jang!  “

Jaka Someh was a little surprised to hear the word ‘tolong’ from Mr. Rohadi, he also tried to clarify the suspicion that was in his heart, he said,

“I mean my father should help how oruh Pak ?”

Mr. Rohadi replied,

“Please nak Someh to marry my son!  Asih “

Deg, Jaka Someh felt his heart would be dislodged, even though he had thought about it, but still he felt surprised. Jaka Someh was silent a thousand languages because he was confused to answer the APA. Although Jaka someh has a love for Asih, but he realizes that Asih does not like him, he only likes Panji, his lover.

She is now pregnant out of wedlock. Seeing Jaka Someh's attitude like that, Mr. Rohadi felt bad, but he still insisted on asking directly to Jaka someh, he said,

“Do nak Someh mind? Not willing to help me and Asih? If you really object, it's okay, you can also understand nak”.

Jaka Someh was aghast, with spontaneity he replied

“Oh not so father, yes, yes I am willing to marry Nyi Asih Pak!  “

It was hard for Jaka Someh to say those words. He was confused and felt shocked to have said that sentence. But Jaka Someh's answer actually made a relieved and happy Mr. Rohadi, as if he had been released from the heavy burden that squeezed him.

Jaka Someh was unaware he had made a big decision in his life. His overly large sense of arrogance had defeated his thinking ratio.

Facing a big problem should be through careful consideration and thought. It is not just lust or indulging in the feelings of the heart. Especially based on feelings for others. He was not aware that the decision to marry a woman like Asih, might have a negative impact on his life.

One week later the wedding ceremony between Jaka Someh and Asih was held. Jaka Someh actually still feels disbelief with this marriage. Between conscious and not, Jaka Someh has now become Asih's husband. It was a marriage she had never imagined before. All because of his great admiration and respect for Mr. Rohadi who has been kind to him.

Jaka Someh actually felt strange about his marriage. Something was stirring in his heart. But he did not understand where the faults or flaws lay. The forerunner exists, the marriage guardian also exists, the marriage witness exists and the dowry is also available. The schedule is also pretty good and smooth. Where does the error lie? is there anything that makes her heart feel uncomfortable? Jaka Someh was confused.

The fault may lie with the woman whom Jaka Someh married herself. Asih is in a state of pregnancy, the fruit of free association with her lover. If only she was pregnant because of the victim of rape, maybe it could be tolerated but Asih became pregnant because of her sinful actions with Panji. Or if he has truly repented, regretted his actions, maybe it can still be tolerated. But Asih did not seem to feel guilty about his actions. He blamed the bad luck for the disaster that had befallen him.

A good man should choose a good woman as well.

In the room, on the first night, Jaka someh felt uncomfortable with Asih. Jaka Someh just stood at the door while Asih sat on his bed. He just bowed. Feeling confused and confused. With doubtful steps, Jaka Someh approached Asih.

Nyi Asih looked her face towards Jaka someh, looking there was a little fear of Jaka someh. Then Asih said,

“Kang Someh, I thank you to someone who has been willing to marry me, I know I married because I was forced, just to respect my father, I did too, I did, I was forced to marry with akang because currently there is no other choice, Please do not have any kind of thoughts about me Because actually my love only for kang panji “

Jaka Someh was surprised to hear Asih's words, with a feeling of sadness and shame he assured Asih, that he would not do something that hurt Asih, asih,

“Nyai not to worry, I will not do anything about Nyai, I promise nyai “

With a forced smile mixed with embarrassment, Jaka Someh picked up a mat and held it under the bed, then he said to Asih,

“Nyai, I sleep here, please Nyai rest there!  Don't be afraid of Akang!  akang not a bad guy “

Jaka Someh laid himself on the mat, which soon fell asleep. Nyi Asih just looked at him from the top of the bed.
