Azriel moved her head telling Mita to join her in sitting cross-legged in the living room. Mita nervous. Where has his mind gone. Mita neutralizes her heartbeat first to join the two men. After feeling somewhat normal. Mita ventured closer and finally sat down cross-legged.
Mita sat down. He did not dare to be suave with om Restu who looked fierce. His face filled with open pores and the cigarette tucked between his fingers further added to the fierce impression on the middle-aged man's face. And also an intimidating look. Makes Mita goosebumps.
"What's your name." The sound of om Restu roll out mixed with the sound of rain. Mita said her name nervously. From how to sit Mita and how to stare at om Restu. Mita is like a defendant while Azriel looks relaxed by leaning her back against the wooden wall.
"Azriel, why did you bring a woman into this house. Do you not know the rules in this village?. asked Om Restu sharply. He looked at his nephew. Azriel seemed to be misbehaving by scratching her temple.
"We just stopped for a minute. The plan was to go straight back to the city but because of the rain. We have to postpone it and will ask for the help of one of our relatives to sleep in this house with us" Azriel replied. He didn't tell me what reason they were until they got to this house. Azriel purposely hides it and the status of Mita. He did not want to om Restu wrath because he brought women with the status of still wives.
"You're too small to travel together like this Azriel. Especially in this village, the rules and norms of the people here are still thick."
"Sorry om. I-i know. And there was no prior intention for me to stay here."
"slowly. There are residents who see you showering rain together and hugging in the yard. They'll be here soon to ask for your explanation. If there is any evidence you are doing beyond the limits. Then you must be married today."
Mita almost jumped to hear the words om Restu. They did shower rain together but they did not do anything beyond bounds. However, he also felt worried. Azriel hugged him because he almost slipped. That's not an element of intent. Pure Azriel just wanted to help her not to fall to the ground. Mita could not imagine if that would be the reason to marry them later.
"Explain what om. We took a rain shower together in the yard. If they see clearly. We don't do anything that crosses the line. Should help and defend us. Not impressed to corner us like this," said Azriel annoyed and did not accept if residents should ask for an explanation for the rain shower together. He becomes unkind to Mita. His intention to help the friend calm down turned out to make Mita more and more problems.
"Oms. Will not defend the wrong if you are wrong son. But I will defend you if you are right. I agree that you are married rather than sinning,"
"What do you mean?. We are purely friendly. Not dating."
"yes om. We are not going over the line. I'm an ist anyway...."
"Listen to yourself" Azriel quickly cut off Mita's words. Don't let Mita tell her status. You can get angry and hang it in the sky of the house.
"This is yours?" bestu asked cynically while showing the KB pill he found on the dashboard of the car to Mita. Mita was shocked and nervous. The pill was his that he bought this morning. He regretted the carelessness of the pill. Mita did not dare to nod or shake her head.
"That might have a mom. Last night you used this car" Azriel reasoned.
"Your mother couldn't have taken this pill. Your mother had the uterus removed five years ago" said Om Restu coldly. Azriel turned to Mita who was still lowered. Azriel feels guilty for wrongly answering Restu's question addressed to Mita.
"It belongs to me. But what I thought was not true. We are not doing anything beyond the limits" Mita replied softly and defended herself.
Mita moved from her seat. At first he was happy that Azriel was willing to help him. But after hearing the customary law and the arrival of Restu, Mita comes to realize that Azriel is taking her to the wrong place. He knew that Azriel had no intention at all to add trouble to himself.
Mita stepped into the kitchen. Linger sitting with om Restu and getting a lot of questions makes Mita lazy. Let Azriel answer every question of his om.
"Is she your boyfriend."
"not om. He's my best friend,"
"But I don't believe."
"Om up. If the rain falls. We're going back to town tonight."
"Don't be slippery and risky."
"Origin does not burden us. We'll stay tonight."
"Okay om will help you if there are citizens who come. They just sent a message if in this house there's a perverted partner."
"Judge us carelessly."
"But I can see if you're lying. You like your best friend, don't you?"
"Om since when do you like kepo like this."
"Since I saw this in your car."
Mita heard the talk of om and his nephew. He hoped that this afternoon would quickly pass by changing the night and then changing the morning. He did not want to meet the citizens and give any explanation. Because he thinks there is nothing to explain.
Mita turned her body towards the living room. She's surprised. Some residents are already sitting cross-legged like Om Restu and Azriel. Azriel also looked agitated. Realizing the arrival of the citizen to this house because he asked for an explanation. Mita Kembai finally sat down cross-legged.
