Love Anton And Mela

seventh

Sunday should be Mela's schedule home to see her mother.

After last week did not go home because they had to monitor the Didi mang repainting the pavilion.

Today this week he was no longer able to go home because he had to wait for the person who rented the pavilion to come.

It means that for about 2 weeks he has not returned to his village in Sindang Laut.

Sindang Laut is still Cirebon district but to the north, from where he lives now travel about 1 hour by car. He used to go home in an Elf public transport car.

Mela's mother, Marsinah, who is commonly called mimi Sinah by the surrounding community, is a tofu pepes maker or commonly called tofu peep.

One of the typical food cirebon in the form of tofu in a fine mash then mixed eggs, mushrooms and spices, then seasoned is usually rather spicy taste. Then wrapped with banana leaves and after steaming for a while then burned on the grill. It smells good and tastes delicious.

As usual, the iron shop closed on Sundays, usually Wak Haji Darma family since the morning went to school and then the afternoon continued to the house of his eldest son Hilman to look at their grandchildren.

The afternoon was hungry, then he thought of foraging on the road ahead. Because it was Sunday he did not get food rations from his Wawakya.

As he locked the door of his room, he was suddenly startled at being summoned by Wiwit.

"Loh Wiwit doesn't go with Daddy and Mommy?" ask Mela.

" Yes Mela.I'm not coming. Uh.. Mela but I want to ask for your help" Wiwit told Mela.

"Solicit what please?"ask Mela.

"I want to go with Surya, he will come soon. We met at the end of the road there. But later if Daddy or Mommy asks you, I go with whom, you answer go with a girl friend well. Call it Lina or whoever".

"Well why is that Wit, why don't you honestly say go with Surya".

" You don't know how mommy is, you're gonna be pissed if you know I'm going with Surya".

" Yes, Wit, but if there's anything on the road how about".

" Anything is that. I want to go now Surya is waiting .. daaahhhh".

Wiwitpun running around small want to immediately meet Surya at the end of the road there.

Mela can only shake her head.

Surya is an employee of a paint factory, he often goes to the store to offer new products, or send goods.

Because Wiwit also helps to become a cashier in the store, then it is certain to often meet Surya.

And maybe they're in love right now.

Then Mela continued looking for a food seller and there happened to be a ketoprak seller.

When he was ordering a ketoprak, it was seen that a car turned into the courtyard of the house and then turned towards the pavilion.

Apparently, Anton's doctor came, but yesterday he said it was coming in the afternoon. It's only 10:00 in the morning but it's coming.

After receiving the package of ketoprak and pay him he also immediately met Anton.

"Well, the doctor has arrived? He said it would be a new afternoon" asked Mela to Anton's doctor.

"It was going to be late in the afternoon, but I think it's better in the morning to know the environment around here first" he replied.

"You know, I'll take the key in my room for a minute".

Mela walked to her room which was behind the pavilion.

He took the key, while putting his armpit on the plate. Then he went back to the front to give Anton the pavilion key.

"Here's the key doctor, sir," while handing Anton the key.

"Yes thank you mom,..Uh. I just call mbak yeah".

"Let's be free, calling names is fine. Harsono's doctor used to call only Mela".

"Hmm then I call Mela is fine too".

" Sip just relax, Doc, this morning the pavilion has been cleaned and tidied. If there's anything, call me in the back. But it has to turn the way. There's no sign from inside here".

"OK ready, Eh. by the way, like a package of food. Buy what? Sorry I'm hungry too" Anton suddenly felt hungry.

" Oh ketoprak in front. Want to know?".

" May dong, I ask you to please be ordered so that later the mamangnya bring here".

"OK ready to wait a minute, spicy or not".

"Ehm.don't be too spicy, just be moderate".

"Ready.wait yeah".

Then Mela ordered ketoprak while telling the seller to transfer to the front pavilion and drinking water.

And he went back to his room.

After eating Anton entered the pavilion. He put his suitcase into one of the smaller rooms for him to make a dressing room and prayer room.

While the next room was more spacious he made for his resting room.

Because Cirebon air is very hot, so after eating earlier he was very angry.

He intended to exchange clothes, but he had previously tried to turn on the fan in the room.

And it didn't turn on when he pressed the button. Then he tried to turn on the lights, as well as not turn on. In his heart he asked if he was running electricity.

Then he exited the pavilion and tried to go behind looking for Mela. But all he saw was a spacious courtyard containing building materials and behind it the pavilion from a distance only looked like a building like a large warehouse.

He tried to move forward slowly.

Maybe Mela's in the shed she thinks. When he approached the warehouse.

"Where's the doctor going?"suddenly someone asked him. Anton turned his head towards the voice and he was surprised. Right between the back wall of the pavilion and the warehouse is tucked into a room adjacent to the bathroom. Everything is super minimalist.

"Oh you're here anyway" Anton said, frowning.

" Are there any doctors I can help?" ask Mela again.

"That's Mela, the electricity in the pavilion isn't on, is there a blackout?" ask Anton.

"No, the time is not on, I'll check".

Then Mela and Anton immediately stepped towards the pavilion.

Mela tried to check and it did not light up. Then Mela checked the electrical panel box in front and she understood. Then he climbed onto the chair and moved the electric panel hooks as soon as the electricity lit up.

"Oh sorry well, I didn't know that the hook hasn't been moved".

" It's okay, doctor. Oh yes the token pulse I filled this morning 100 thousand rupiah, it is free from the owner. Later if for example the token pulse runs out must be filled alone later contact me".

"Alright," Anton said as if understanding.

"Eh Mela, if washing iron and cleaning the house how well. He said I have to pay for it myself, is there an officer?"ask Anton again.

"Oh, how much do I have to pay per month?"ask Anton again.

Shamefully Mela mentioned her nominal, while in her heart she was a bit afraid also that it was an omnipotence.

"Hmmm..300 thousand just how the doctor, washing and ironing also mop and other cleaning," Mela replied.

However, Anton's doctor agreed and he asked what the mechanism was like.

According to Mela later she prepared a basket in front of Anton's room. Later dirty clothes stored there later every morning will be taken Mela and tidy up the pavilion, then after finishing the iron will be stored in the same place.

To clean up, Mela will do after the doctor leaves for work, so in the afternoon or evening home from work is neat.

Mela says there is a spare key so for all Anton's needs she will prepare by using the key.

Antonpun agreed with all that Mela explained.

"Oh yeah Mela, if qibla in which direction huh?"anton asked back.

Mela showed me the direction of the Qibla, and then she had a good time.

"When using a device can also find the direction of qibla," he said again with a smile.

Anton blushed again and again felt his heartbeat become tight every look at Mela's smile.

Then Mela returned to her room and before long she returned to the pavilion to store the basket of clothes.

While Anton is in his room preparing to clean up because soon it will enter the time of Dzuhur.

He undressed and removed his prosthetic leg, from his bag he picked up a foldable metal stick.

He opened the fold of the stick, and he stood up and stepped into the bathroom. He walked with only one of his right legs.

In the afternoon after the Ashar prayer, Anton tried to re-use his fake legs and he planned to go around in circles to find out what was around his residence while looking for food for the night.

As he was about to head towards the car there appeared to be a pair of middle-aged men and women approaching.

Then they introduced as the owner of the pavilion and also the shop there.

"Sorry where you work?" ask Haji Darma.

"Oh I am in the medical field, I am serving in the Jamblang packaging" Anton said.

" The doctor also well apparently, wah coincidentally dong," suddenly Wak Atin snatched.

"Yes, ma'am" said Anton with a smile.

"Where are you going now, doctor?"Haji Darma asked.

"You're going around, sir, finding out the neighborhood".

"Oh please then, later if there is need anything can contact us or to Mela well".

And Antonpun asserted, then he got in the car and drove his vehicle around the neighborhood there.

Towards Maghrib he returned with a pack of food.

Then he entered the pavilion and as usual took off his prosthetic leg and put on a stick to the bathroom.

After the Maghrib prayer always Anton use for dhikr and teaching.

"God!!!! Mela !!!!"wak Atin yells at Mela from her kitchen door.

"Dalem Wak, be careful!!," replied Mela while shouting as well.

(\=Iya Wak, wait a minute)

Then he ran out of the room and approached Wak Atin.

"Father kaken ning doctor, gage!! Watch out for maning yah!".

(\=This give to the doctor, quick!! Watch out for you don't flirt anymore!)

With a frown Mela picked up the dish of cucumber cake that was in Wak Atin's hand.

Then he walked towards the pavilion. On his way to the door he knocked.

Before long the door opened and Mela looked surprised. He sees Anton's doctor wearing a cocoa shirt and a sarong but using a cane and only one leg.

His eyes were rounded in shock but his tongue was stuck not daring to speak.

"Why Mela?"ask Anton.

"Ehm.lw...ehm.. This doctor has a cake from Wak Atin" Mela replied.

"Wow Atin? Who's she?"anton asked, letting Mela sit down.

But Mela chose to just stand in front of the door.

"The mother of the owner of the house, her name is Ms. Atin but I call her Wak Atin" Mela replied again.

Antonpun nodded his head and received the cake plate.

"Thank you to Atin's mom".

Anton asked again,

"Are you his brother? Why call Wak? Uwak or Wawak, right?".

"Yes, I am the nephew of Haji Darma, his sister is my mother" Mela replied.

And Anton nodded his head.

"Doctor...sorry...I can you?" Mela nervously asked.

"Ask what Mela?".

" Doctor's foot where's the other one?"

Hearing that Anton laughed amusedly at the way Mela asked while like a frightened person.

"Keren hgga..my legs.must be cool dong... I have 1 foot, everyone else 2 is common.hahahaha".

And Mela became even more confused to see Anton laughing as she asked about his legs.

Then he was alone, and Anton again continued to teach until waiting for the Adhan Isya.

The next morning Mela saw Anton walking on two legs. He wondered if it was a fake leg. Anton's move was a little strange.

He provided the lease letter Anton requested for administrative purposes in his office.

While sweeping he looked silently at Anton, and in his heart said, if he appeared with two legs is rather decent also the appearance of a doctor.

Then he continued to sweep it, while inwardly wondering the person with one leg how to pray well..
