Meeting with Hasan

"Assallammualaikum." Rudi raised his greetings when he arrived at the house of Pak Lurah.

" wa'alaikumsallam" Mr. Lurah returned his greetings and came out to welcome Rudi. "monggo monggo sir" Rudi and his family entered as well as Laras who did not see his smile at all.

" is this your child?"

" yes." "yes."

" Abaras Assallammualikum?" Suddenly there was a male voice greeting Laras but Laras did not hear it at all.

" Sir, the barrel is you called" Baras's mother's nudge is right on Laras' arm.

" Ah, yes ma'am" Laras who realized immediately saw the figure that had greeted him.

"Assallammualikum." repeated the man gently.

" Mas Hasan." he cried.

" Do you remember me?"

" yes, my mas"

" you know each other already."

" The barrel is Hasan's younger brother in Junior High" explained Hasan.

" It's good that being so mean won't be too hard." Rudi smiled as well as Mr. Lurah.

" Laras let's talk outside, let the inside be our parents' business."

Laras followed Hasan's step out and was tempted to talk to Hasan, but Hasan was also forced to make this match.

Laras really hopes Hasan will refuse this match. Now Laras and Hasan are sitting on the front porch of Hasan's house.

" Mas Hasan."

" Hm"

" I'm sorry before, did you accept this match?"

" Of course Laras, I've been since Junior High fell in love with you, only I was afraid to reveal my heart, even I often saw you from afar to treat my longing for you."

Laras was unable to say what he had to say to reply to Hasan. The confused barrel of his mind started to mess up again.

" Mommy,"

"yes"

Hasan smiled. " Laras, Laras.why do you keep apologizing to me?"

The barrel is silent, clumsy. " I'm actually. . actually I. . ." Baras was nervous to speak.

" I what?"

" I love others."

Hasan was silent to Baras's statement. Laras also dag dig dug waiting for a response from Hasan. But some time Hasan was silent so the atmosphere was silent.

" Gold" called Laras to break the silence. " I'm sorry, I can't accept this matchmaking." Slowly follow.

" I know Laras, I know you've fallen in love with that stranger, even when I wanted to see you from afar I saw you with that stranger."

"I'm sorry, Laras Hasan."

" The man has departed from this village Laras, and you will do a foolish thing to wait for him."

" He'll be back, I'm sure of it."

" If you don't want to start everything with me?"

Laras was silent not expecting Hasan to file the celebration after he rejected it. But Laras was unable to answer.

' If I am not pregnant, I am pregnant with Hasan. But I'm sure Johan will come back to me.'

...****************...

" What should I do?" Saras repeatedly asked Sigit the same thing.

Sigit was confused, he himself did not know what to do. The address that Johan has given is lost somewhere and from the story Saras uncle Aji did not know the address of Johan's house.

" You're too careless" said Sigit.

" why is sigit talking like that?"

" Let's recall where you last kept Johan's address"

" I've been trying to find you."

Saras wept cursing her own stupidity, then she hugged her husband. " How will my sister's fate be, I'm really afraid to think about it, what if my parents knew for sure they'd never forgive Laras. It's all because of me, because of me." Saras continued to criticize his stupidity.

...SERIATE...
