Love Anton And Mela
Fourthly
Mr. Salim Wiharja and his wife Aryani Wiharja were sitting on the back porch of their house that afternoon.
Aryani looks uneasy considering her son will be serving in Cirebon.
He remembers 7 years ago his son in a motorcycle accident and hit people to death in that city.
Anton his son came home from Semarang, when he was far away from Bandung to Semarang to meet his lover.
Intentions want to surprise her lover, who is even surprised to find her lover is making love with another man.
The intense anger at seeing himself betrayed made him drunk and speed on the streets outside the city until the accident occurred.
his 5-month-old son was in a coma in the hospital, and what caused the most pain in his heart was that his left leg had to be amputated because his leg bone was crushed to smash into a big tree so it could not be repaired.
Crumpled leg bones can not be repaired, and if not amputated later will damage the underlying tissue is still good.
Currently his left foot uses a prosthetic leg or in medicine the term prosthetic leg.
And for almost 1 year more his son locked himself in the room no longer want to continue his medical studies.
For him the world is dark, there is no future.
He felt useless and meaningless.
Until finally he realized himself, he who rose again to change and want to continue his studies.
At that time he accidentally heard a lecture from one of the famous oustads on television.
The Ustad said that how sinful a man was to take away the opportunity of his youth in vain. We fall for God's permission. What has happened to our lives because of God's permission, we should never not believe because God must have a plan for our lives.
Since then he became diligent again to pray, he also saw on the channel you tube the testimony of people who are disabled one-legged but still perform worship.
And he also saw that it was not only him who became a disabled person. Even in some other countries whose political conditions are chaotic, there is a war between religions. Many Muslim doctors are disabled but still provide services to others who are injured due to war.
He didn't live in a state of war, he lived much better, and he wasted 1 year on something meaningless.
Since then Anton has changed, becoming more religious and also more social work.
Even though sometimes they do not want to be paid if there are people who seek treatment and are unable to.
His only weakness is that he still does not want to open his heart to women.
Next month he is 32 years old.
"Have not much thought, just let him do his duty there. There must be good things that he will get," said Mr. Salim Wiharja to his wife.
"Yes pah, actually mamah also hope Anton can get good. If you can get a soul mate. Poor he is that age, we are also getting older, not necessarily our age until when. Mamah wants to have a granddaughter from Anton pah".
Sighing, Salim said again, "We pray that God opens the way, Anton is given his best mate".
While talking, the front door opened, Anton came home.
"Assalamualaikum, ma'am!!! Papahs!!! Where's it?" Call Anton.
"Walaikumsalam, it's behind here" replied his mama.
Then Anton approached his parents and he greeted them both.
" Pah, Mah, Anton's leave tomorrow until Friday. Plan tomorrow to Cirebon see the workplace and see the contract".
"The place that Harsono's doctor used to be said to be empty. So want to know what it looks like. Mama same papah want to join all the streets," asked Anton to both parents.
"Anton's the same chauffeur Anita ngga nak?" ask mother.
"That's it, I'm the one driving. Casually. Close by now it's on the toll road".
"Well, this pensioner is unemployed. Free dong. All Cirebon food culinary delicious loh".
"Yes but what if Anton is tired, later if his legs are tired. Poor Anton mending bring his driver Anita cici ".
"Yaelah Mama, dong engga. Automatically transport the transmission. So not tired. If it is tired papah can replace nyetir".
" Yes it's up to you, you're just worried Anton's tired".
"Relax me, just trust me everything will be fine. So tomorrow at 7 am we leave well" Anton said.
Both of his parents agreed.
Directions indicate they must exit the Palimanan toll.
And they follow the directions.
Until also in front of the Jamblang packing, and Antonpun down to look for someone named Pak Tarmidi the head of the pusket.
After meeting Anton introduced himself, and he also said that he was on leave so he used to know his work location first.
Mr. Tarmidi warmly welcomed and was introduced to other colleagues.
"Doctor iku jalane indigen ya, weird temen, rich sikile lara bae," whispered Pure to Jaya his friend.
(\=Doctor's the way why well, weird, maybe his legs hurt)
"Yes, yes, we have nakoni" Jaya replied.
Soon Antonpun farewell, and he said next Monday is already active in the puskesmas.
Afterwards, Anton contacted Mela to see the pavilion she was going to rent.
She shares the location with him, and Anton follows the instructions.
"Tock the iron shop well," Anton said.
" But it's pointed out to be the correct location here".
" Try you call again, afraid he's wrong" said the papa.
" Hello, Mela's mom, I'm on the spot as directed. But what about the iron shop?"ask Anton.
"Oh yeah, black car huh. Right sir, the place is next to the iron shop. It's in front of that brown house. You enter from the gate of the courtyard and turn directly into the pavilion. I'll be there later,"Mela explained in detail.
Anton followed his directions.
After parking in front of the brown building, they all went down.
"Duh Anton, the heat of the kieu pisan," said mamah with rage.
(Sundanese\= Duh Anton, very hot well)
"Puguh pan Cirebon ieu teh Mah, must have been hot pisan," Anton explained.
(\=Clearly this is Cirebon, of course it is very hot)
A girl soon approached them. He was about 25 years old, and he looked very energetic wrapped in a light blue veil
"Good day, I'm Mela" he said, introducing himself by simply sticking his hands together in front of his chest.
"Anton," answered Anton briefly while replying that the same was simply sticking his hand also in front of his chest.
So did Mela to Mr. Salim Wiharja, but she greeted Aryani's mother.
Then Mela with manners
let everyone enter the pavilion to take a look.
And he explained that the lease of this pavilion was already following its contents. There are 2 bedrooms complete with beds and cabinets, 1 bathroom, there is a kitchen and also a living room.
Mela initially delivered 9 million, then negotiated and finally agreed with 7.5 million per year.
And Antonpun planned to occupy starting on Sunday afternoon.
Declare the ability to clean again and so on.
"Mom Mela, if for example washing and ironing clothes here already include the facilities or pay again by yourself?"ask Anton.
"Pay again yourself sir, later can pass me. Oh yes, this is an electric token system, for the first month get a free credit of 100 thousand and then if you finish the contents yourself. For refills can contact me as well," Mela explained at length.
"Well and for the lease agreement letter rent him how to bu, because I have to submit as evidence to the office".
"Later Sunday when my father came I prepared everything".
"Sorry sir, I asked for a copy of the ID card".
"I haven't photocopied ma'am, how well...?".
"The time is now sir, just send a photo to my chat," Mela replied with a smile.
Antonpun blushed, felt the girl was cute as well as his style of speech and Deg.kok sweet also smile inner Anton.
"Well, then thank you Mela, I'll call again if I have transferred".
"Neng, I'm sorry I asked you what about the security here?"ask Aryani.
"Don't worry ma'am, 24-hour security, because there's a night watchman here for the store too" Mela explained.
"The iron shop has neng too yah?"ask Aryani again.
"No ma'am, I'm just an employee here".
In the heart of Aryani is pleased with the girl, her person is agile, intelligent and looks deft.
While in his heart Mela also said, it seemed to have seen his parents the doctor, but where well.
The doctor was not very young, and the path was strange, after all it seemed that they were ethnic Chinese.
I don't know let it matter that this person will pay immediately so that the money can be immediately paid to the school of Revelation.
Anton then continues the journey using instructions from his cell.
Looking for culinary one of Cirebon's typical foods is empal gentong, then also tour the famous Trusmi batik center.
After buying souvenirs for her sister Anita, they returned to Bandung.
But along the way Aryani felt very close to the girl. Somehow there is in the deepest recesses of the heart arise either affection, either pity or whatever is not clear. What is certain in his subconscious Aryani hopes that the girl can be his son's soul mate.
