"Why doesn't Abah sell livestock anymore? fortunately, it was huge!" ranti's voice asked her father.

"Yes indeed! the sale of livestock is fortunately very tempting, but the danger is also very terrible" replied Ambu Yaah representing her husband.

"Yes too! if Ranti is a man, Ranti will sell around, replacing the old Abah. Sometimes Ranti feels sad, when the old Abah must work hard to support us." ranti said expressing her heart.

"Don't be like that! for Abah, boy or girl, it does not matter.most importantly you are patient with what happens to our family, do not add burden to the parents, so that you can not be more, who was at the bottom." advice Mbah Abun that night.

"Yes Abah! Forgive Ranti that Ranti has not been able to be the best for Abah and Ambu, has not been able to make you both happy." said Ranti while lowering her gaze, she felt sad about what happened to her family.

"Already! meningan we now sleep, gather energy back to make the matting tomorrow." invite Mbah abun.

"Yes abah. Ranti was also drowsy," replied Ranti as she covered her evaporating mouth.

Finally they went to their own rooms, to welcome beautiful dreams, because that is the only way they got happiness.

An hour passed, Bah Abun who was about to express his intention followed Mang sarpu's footsteps.he had not been able to close his eyes, he started to get up and then came out of his room, towards Ranti's room. after being in front of the door of the room he slowly approached the curtain covering the room. Looking at the dimly lit Ranti, she had already slept soundly.Sounds a subtle snoring coming out of her lips.Look at her child like that, a sense of sadness rippled in Bah Abun's heart. because his son is this mature, but he can not be the best for the Princess only wayangnya.

After feeling that his son was asleep, he returned to his room, slowly waking up Ambu Yayah who had fallen asleep.

"What's the matter Abah? is it old too?" Dengus ambu yayah was a little annoyed because he had just mengeleyep he had been disturbed.

"Yeeeeeey!" bah Abun replied who was amused when he heard his wife say that.

"Keep what nights are like this! Abah poking around ambu?" ask Abu Yayah slowly.

"Change to have a serious conversation with ambu."

"From now we've also talked, tomorrow! Ambu sleepy!" reject Ambu Yamah which is true he already feels very sleepy.

"Just a second, Ambu! this is important for our future." forced Mbah Abun while pulling his wife's hand, for her to sit down.

"IIiiiiiiihhh Abah what the hell!" Gerutu Ambu Yamah, but she still sat down to follow the wishes of her husband.

"So, have a serious conversation! if tomorrow, Abah think the time is not right, because there is our child." explained Bah Abun

"What did you say? Ambu dengerin!" answer Ambu Yamah while his eyes remain closed, even though he is sitting.

"Wash your face for a minute, so we can have a serious conversation."

"No need, Abah! You heard it!" said Ambu Yamah as he opened his eyes, then looked at the husband who looked dimly lit. Because their room did not use lights, only relying on the light rays they stored in the middle of his house.

"Seriously want to talk!" mbah Abun repeated his words.

Hearing the seriousness spoken by her husband, Abu Yayah got up from the seat and went to the kitchen, and took water with a dipper made of coconut shells, to wash his face first, to get him back fresh. Although it felt very lazy but Ambu Yamah did not want to disappoint her husband, who looked seriously wanted to talk to her. After finishing washing his face, she returned to the room, greeted by a happy-looking Mbah Abun smile.

"What are you talking about, Abah?" abu Yayah asked in a quiet voice, afraid to disturb his son's sleep.

"Continue?"

Mbah Abun began to retell, the story experienced when he sold to Sukaraja village. What is different now is that he tells as much detail as possible, without anyone being missed, so that people who hear his story can understand and understand the story he tells.

"So that's it, Ambu. the story!" bah Abun concluded his experience.

"So you want to follow in the footsteps of Mang sarpu? far from the creator. Stop, Abaaah! our lives have been hard, do not be made difficult anymore." advised Abu Yayah who did not agree with what was intended by her husband.

"Ambu Ambu is not sad, seeing our child who only wears that shirt.he only has a few clothes set.Ambu would let Abah was too late to sell, he just had to sell, just to collect money pennies.abah want to try his luck with shortcuts. because with the usual way, our lives are like this. there is no progress. there, only decline and decline." firmly Bah Abun who has made up his mind, from the beginning when chatting with Mang sarpu.

Asked like that, Ambu Yamah just took a breath. then he thought of repeating the memory of the bad memory that befell him.when he was about to owe in a neighboring stall. many people who sneered at him, he said, Not even a little insulting him, but the mind of Clear ambu yayah is still implied, so he does not rush to make a decision.

"Does Abah sacrifice our family just for temporary happiness?" Ambu Jayah asked.

"Sacrificing what, ambu? instead we will get a very abundant wealth, according to Mang Sarpu, when we are good at completing the agreement, then we will live long, full of luxury. not Ambu, not Ranti our son. Abah is! who will be responsible with all the risks.Who is it for? for the sake of you two! the woman Abah always loved! the woman Abah always wanted to be happy." Mbah Abun vigorously convinced his wife

"Don't be like that Abah! You can't live without Abah."

"The bitterness! like that, but remember that Abah said, when we can anticipate the agreement, then there are no casualties among our families." explained Bah Abun continues to convince his wife. Until the words issued are just that, even though it has been repeated several times.

"Is Abah okay! if one day Abah goes back to the stealth realm, not to the real realm?"

"The real nature is not necessarily Sure, because no one has returned from there yet, continuing to tell what really happened, after we were buried." explained Bah Abun who was already dark in the eyes, so that the lessons of religion that he learned since childhood, just disappeared. Even dare to express that.

"O Allah, Abah! don't be like that. Istighfar bah!" abu Yayah disagreed

"Sudah Ambu don't twist! agree what is not." asserted Bah Abun who did not want to mince words again.

Abu Yamah fell silent again, he thought to make the best decision because no matter how slowly the path they would choose, it would definitely backfire in his life. but she also could not guarantee the life of her husband, living with worldly pleasures.

"What if you agree! tomorrow morning I want to see Mang Sarpu back."

"Bung Abah! Ambu confused!" sis Ambu Yamah who had tears in his eyes.

"Mother do not need to be confused, Ambu's job is only to keep the fire, when Abah works.most importantly ambu Do not sleep. according to Mang sarpu, we work only one hour every night, we work only one hour every night, cook resist sleepiness for an hour, Ambu not strong." The Mbah Abun

"Don't Mbah! Meningan don't! it's okay to live like this, Ambu is happy, when Ambu can live with a man who is so responsible, like Abah!" refused Ambu Yamah revealed the contents of his deepest heart, he felt afraid when the incident that happened to mang sarpu, who was lost could not return to his original form.how shy he was, how humiliated he was, how sad he was, in the eyes of the neighbors who often gossiped, often called him a bankrupt person. When Mang sarpu happened to her husband.

"Mother! You believe the same! abah could not trouble Abah's wife. During his life Abah never asked anything from Ambu, just this time Abah asked! it was not asking for property, but asking for approval and cooperation.

Before answering her husband's words, Ambu Yamah looked deep in his breath.like he was about to bring out something heavy for her.

"Change! Abah sure! Abah will be nothing when one day, the path we take backfires against Abah himself?" tanya Abu Yayah assured her that it was true that her husband had been so good. Since marrying Mbah Abun never demanded anything. sometimes she also felt ashamed, because she could not give the appropriate, with what was given by her husband.
