The dawn prayer rang out as their feet stepped on the paved streets of the city they were about to live in. Hustle and bustle of humans filled the dawn universe in the city. It was very different from the village where they used to live. If it is dawn, people walk to the mosque to perform morning worship.
While in the city, even though the Adhan has been completed, they do not visit the place of worship tucked between the shophouse buildings.
The god turned his head as he felt a pull on the end of his shirt. He looked at Bima who focused on human traffic in the terminal. The boy looked up at the bead the father would ask.
"Not surprisingly, here laen ma at home first. The people are on cuek ma worship, but we must have strong faith. Don't, bye, follow them." The god smiled, his hand rubbed Bima's head which gave a nod of the head to the statement he heard.
"First prayer first, nyok! Noh, sono's mushola!" He pointed to a small building that was squeezed into another building. The three brought a step closer to the building that was deserted by the visitor.
Only a few people could be seen sitting there. There were three travelers who had just set foot on the ground. Worship fervently despite their unapologetic appearance.
"Beh, where are we going this abis?" bima asked after completing the worship of two raka'at in the mosque. The three waited at a stall selling rice.
"Wait for Babeh, he wants to pick her up here" he said.
"Where are you guys from? Looks like you guys are new here," asked the shop owner from inside his stall.
The god gulped, from his language alone was already very different. How he should answer. Confused themselves were worried that the people in the city could not accept their presence.
"We just got here, Mom. We're from the village and waiting for an invitation."
Bima and Dewa both gawked at the straightforward answer with the official language from the female oral language sitting between them.
"Tina?"
"Scan?"
Tina smilingly glanced at her son and husband who were staring in amazement at her. They did not expect that the woman could speak the people's spoken language.
"Oh .. I deserve to have just seen this morning. Well then, welcome to our city!" he said it was friendly. He reached out his hand to shake Tina.
The amazing and surprising woman smiled and welcomed her hand.
"thank you. Mmm... Can we rest here for a while until our invitation comes?" He took his hand gently. Even though it felt rough skin of his palm, still the softness of his heart was not disguised by him.
"Oh .. please! Anyone can sit here including you guys, but sorry I have to go back," she said, who was quickly taken by Tina by the head.
"Scan?" Bima and the Gods were still staring at him in disbelief. Their eyes flickered looking at the other side of the woman who was saying rudely every day with that shrill high tone.
"Tin ... lu ...?" There is no word spoken from the word of God. He really did not expect that his wife had something special that he had been hiding from her all this time.
"Why, Bang? Shocked, huh?" The grin revealed a row of teeth that looked white shining. God and Bima nodded exactly at the hypnotized person.
Tina flicked her hair, like models advertising shampoo on television. She's gorgeous her charming smile is really charming.
"It's not maen bini cave! Lu emang full of surprises, proud cave so your man. Sometimes we teach you how to talk rich, yeah." The god played his eyebrows on Bima. The boy nodded without changing the admiration on his face.
"It looks like the child Bima helped, he said richly, Nyak. Different ma us," chirped Bima after a moment of amazement at the woman.
"Oh ..really? Why didn't you tell me?" Bima and the Gods again gawked, while Tina laughed amusedly.
"Great shit! Not maen. Rich Indonesian teacher Bima at school." He laughed happily. Again Tina flicked her tangled hair showing the artists in shampoo commercials.
"Eh .. By the way you learn where the rich language is? I've never heard of a cave you say that," asked the God who was curious about the ability of Tina, his wife.
The woman commented a smile, she played her head mocking the husband who was waiting for his answer. The god snorted, his curiosity making him a little impatient.
"Eh .. replied you! Even the grin was not obvious so," the God's murmur began to be annoyed.
"Patience, Beh! Be patient! Patient people loved by Him!" Bima rubbed the chest of the God who puffed up. Hearing Bima's words, he did not even accept.
"Eh ... What do you say? Only Babeh I love Nyak Lu, no one else can! Watch out for you, yeah!" The god pointed at Tina who was laughing a little at the debate of her son and husband.
"Ups! Sorry, Beh. Milky wrong!" The boy chuckled while glaring.
"God, Bang. Bima is just kale. No need to be considered, Tina just love brother God one and our son Bima. No one is laen. The oath!" Tina raised her two sworn fingers.
The god sighed, easing the resentment in his heart. He smiled again as Tina and Bima both hugged.
The sun began to crawl up, but their invitation never came. Bima who was tired lay down on the bale-bale with the head that she placed on Tina's lap.
"Bang, where's the brother who wants to pick up? Very long, anyway?" tina's grumbling is getting bored. He wanted to immediately lay down on the floor. Loosening stiff muscles due to almost overnight sitting in the bus.
"Some know the cave. Where hp the cave died, batrenya lobet." The gods grumbled in annoyance. He felt sorry for Bima and Tina who looked tired. Both faces are lethargic, crumpled, and dirty.
He spread his eyes across the terminal. A car approached, the black sedan type car looks shiny when exposed to sunlight. The god frowned, silently waiting for the driver of the car to come down.
"God! How you doing, man?" He stretched out his hands high and hugged his friend.
"Well .. lu, Dar, it's changed a lot, yeah." God welcomes his best friend's embrace. Both of them pat each other on the back to let go of the long miss that did not meet.
"This is a cave guy, Tina. That's Bima's cave boy." The gods introduced Tina and Bima. His friend looked down at the faces of the two, his forehead frowning. Glancing at Bima and Dewa alternated.
"Your son is very handsome. He will definitely be the wrestler of the girls when he grows up. Hello, Mistress. I'm Darma, your husband's old best friend." He stuck his hand on Tina.
"Tina." Just short. No longer making small talk, he took them immediately to the contract that would be their residence while in the city. Smaller contracts than their homes in the village, but that's okay. Most importantly they are protected from heat and rain.
