Red Hooded Girl

The arrival of Hana

The beautiful sunset sky has arrived, beautifying the beauty for anyone who sees it. Mimin is busy with watering flowers and various ornamental plants that are neatly perched on the terrace and yard of his house. Because he said, the best time to water the plants is in the morning or evening before the magrib, when the heat of the sun is no longer felt.

After picking up Mimin and going home together. God lay down for a moment to just straighten the tense muscles to be more relaxed. Rest his body because today's activity is not finished. Ba'da magrib later he had to leave for the Beretos Cafe to 'stammer'. The busking schedule is four nights a week.

After the magrib time of a few more minutes will arrive, he cleans himself, takes a shower and then ablaze. He planned to go to the mosque early. Following Rizal's message when two days ago they met at the mosque after performing dawn prayers.

"Was... If you can come to the mosque do not spend time. If you have time, before the time has come to the mosque, let you azan,” said Rizal at that time.

“Each Kang, insyaallah,” he replied at that time.

Such is the message from Rizal, a handsome man who later known is the superior of Mimin, his wife.

At first, he felt worried when he found out Mimin's boss was a handsome man. Although his narcissistic soul still states that he is more handsome and charming dong than Rizal. Fearing that Mimin is in love with his handsome boss, or his boss is in love with Mimin because of Mimin's undeniable beauty.

Then he breathed a sigh of relief when later found out that Rizal was a married man and had two children. And a few days ago he accidentally met Rizal and his wife and son were taking an afternoon walk around the village of Cibening.

He again breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Aya, his wife Rizal who also had a beautiful face. Really a compatible couple, just like her and Mina. So narcissistic.

His heart was even more relieved when he saw the two Rizal children who were so adorable, handsome and beautiful. Although he had only seen the togetherness of Rizal and his family, but he could already conclude that Rizal was a typical family loving man.

So, he immediately dispelled his concerns about the working relationship between Mimin and Rizal. And hope that one day his marriage with the idol will get such happiness. Amens.

After wearing his prayer clothes, the god opened the door of his house about to go to the mosque. He saw Mimin who was watering plants and flowers.

"Ehem... Assalamualaikum, Salihahku," said God.

Mimin who was focused on watering, while looking at the wonderfully colorful flowers that were blooming, turned his face towards the sound. And immediately he was amazed to look at a handsome man wearing modern koko navy color combined with a plaid motif holster with the basic color in line with the color of his clothes. Don't forget to wear a peci. Looks very handsome and charming.

"WA-waalaikum greetings." Mimin was shocked because he was amazed.

"It's pretty, it's pretty, just like it's beautiful," God's dragon accompanied by a charming smile. But, not dreadlocks, because the fact is that Mimin is indeed beautiful. So pretty.

Mimin smiled at a glance. "You want to go to the mosque?" tanyakanya.

"Yes," replied the God without letting go of a smile.

"Half alone? Sol where to?" ask Mimin pleasantries because he is also confused about what to talk about. It still felt awkward to talk loosely with the man.

"Ih... Minas. How come you're Sol anyway, I'm jealous nih.” The god put on a pouting face.

"Eh... Sneezing. Bu-not that I mean," refuted Mimin who felt bad. Worrying about the words coming from his lips was a mistake.

"Hehee... Kidding Mina. Sol hasn't come home yet, hardworking she mah. Want to make a capital to make a wedding invitation card he said." The god chuckled himself imagining Sol's face.

"Oh... Sol wants to get married?"

"You dong. That's why he wanted to make an invitation. If people will get the candidate first just make an invitation. Well, if he's any different. Make an invitation first and then the candidate follows. The name of his future wife has not been filled still dots. Haha...." The god chuckled remembering Sol's words just as he had said just now.

Mimin almost chuckled because of the God's joke, but he held him back. Only a faint smile was shown.

"I'm leaving first. Assalamualaikum," God's saying. Although he still wanted to linger with his halal lover, but was forced to bury his desire deeply because the orange sky began to dim, the sign of Magrib would soon arrive.

After the death of Dewa, Mimin continued his watering activities. Then proceed with wiping the leaves of ornamental plants so that dust does not interfere with the process of photosynthesis. Also prune the leaves that grow messy so that the plant looks beautiful and eye-pleasing.

Mimin had just finished caring for his plants when the echo of the sound of azan sound was heard in his ears. He refocused his sense of hearing to hear the sound of the azan carefully. Muazin's voice sounded strange in his ears. Like not the voice of Sarip the mosque marbot who used to persecute.

He recalled Rizal's words in the office.

“Min... Say the same God if you go to the mosque do not mepet-mepet time. If it can be before the time of Azan he has gone to the mosque."

“Let her the azan. Her voice is sweet. He should have been the Muazin, not the Sarip, his voice was cringy."

Is that ahan a god? Inner wonders.

*****

Mimin has just finished teaching, the routine he does every after the fardu prayer, especially the Magrib prayer. Sayup-sayup heard the roar of the motor that he believed was the sound of the motor belonging to God. Apparently their togetherness when going and going home from work these few days, has made him memorized with the roar of the motorbike.

Mimin immediately opened the face he was still wearing. Then exit the room, swinging a step towards the living room. He flicked the curtains carefully and peeked out from behind the curtain curtain. He saw that God was sitting on his motorcycle with his flagship look, denim jeans and black t-shirt and denim jacket. Typical child band display. Makes that handsome guy look even more stunning.

Where is he going these nights. Inner sighs.

"Dooorrr!!"

"Astagfirullahal enzyme!”

Opi who had been standing behind him was deliberately startling because he saw Mimin who was caught stalking someone.

“Opi makes Teteh surprised. Fortunately the heart Teteh ga until dislodged loh,” complained Mimin.

“If the heart Teteh until dislodged, calm there is a sour Brother Dewa,” sloroh Opi. His eyes gnawed at Mimin.

"Ciye... Who else is it? The husband?" Opi constantly teases Mimin.

"Ih... Who else is interested. People Teteh again make curtains nih... has not been closed perfectly," Klah Mimin. His hand touched the curtains, pretending to tidy them up.

"Yes... PER-CA-YA," said Opi by emphasizing the word believe, with the intention of teasing the tetahnya.

"Opi... It's really, really, not anymore!"

"Haha...." Opi laughed at Mimin's reaction that looked funny because he pretended to tidy up the curtains.

"Steak... Opi...! Let's go help Mommy get ready for dinner!" yelled Mami from the kitchen.

"Yes Mih...!!" the two brothers said together. The two walked around jokingly to the kitchen.

"Tea... Try Nak Dewa dikasih soto semangkok mah for dinner,” said Mami who just finished cooking soto as the dinner menu this evening.

"The person also has no Mih" replied Mimin. She helped Mama prepare dinner.

"Where is God going?" ask Mommy again.

Mimin spread his shoulders. "Don't know."

"It's Tea. His wife's. Opi watch this... The Tetuh husband often went out at night, just returned home at eleven, sometimes twelve if Sunday evening mah," said Opi who sat in a henchman at the dinner table.

"Ding Dagah once told Abah that he worked side by side," Sambar Abah who just nimbrung and immediately sat on the dining table chair.

"What side work is Bah, nights like this?" ask Mimin.

"The work...." Uncompletely Abah spoke to cut opi.

"That Teteh asked himself dong same Ka Dewa. It's his wife's, "cut Opi.

"Nah, actually said Opi. It's better to ask directly with Ding Gough." Abah supports Opi's remarks.

"Often have a conversation with Ding Gifted Tea. Let the heart of Teteh can more easily accept Ding Perky. He was lawful as a husband in the eyes of God, Teteh" continued Abah.

Mimin also sat his butt on the bench next to Opi. He stared at Abah's words.

"Why do you think Abah likes the same Ka Dewa?" ask Opi. Because he remembered Abah used to call the God Kisanak, now calling it Ding Gaga. And Abah has never done that to anyone else.

"So like this... Can I tell you a story?" Abah looked at the three beautiful woman's faces in turn.

"Can... Come on Bah story!” sahut Opi enthusiast.

“Mami same Teteh also want to hear the story Abah?” Abah looked at Mimin and Mami alternately.

“Iya... Abah,” says Mami.

Mimin answered Abah's question.

“So like... When Abah first saw God, Abah was looking in the mirror. It was like seeing Abah himself. He looks a lot like Abah,” said Abah.

“Hahaha... “ Everyone chuckled at Abah's words.

“How can, Abah see Ka Dewa like see yourself Abah himself. From an age it is different. Abah funny ih, Hahahaha..” said Opi with a curled laugh.

“Change nih heureuy wae,” say Mami.

“Means Abah. The god was like Abah when he was young.”

“Hahaha... “ Opi keeps laughing.

“That young time was handsome loh kaya Dewa. If Abah ain't handsome, where maybe Abah's children are beautiful like this.” Abah.

“Yes, Teteh mah believe Abah was handsome,” said Mimin.

“It is if it is not handsome, Mami will not want to marry Abah,” Abah said as she rolled her eyes glancing at Mami.

“Young time first, Abah's ideals became rocker,” said Abah continued the story.

“Hah really Bah? Then then... ” Opi looks the most enthusiastic.

“But Abah's parents never agreed Abah to be a rocker. They continue to urge Abah to continue Grandpa's efforts, because Abah is the only child. Abah failed to become a rocker deh.”

“Wah cool-cool,” sahut Opi.

“Kok Mami doesn't know Bah,” says Mami.

“Mami will meet Abah pas Abah already have three children. So Mami doesn't know how Abah was when she was young.”

“Pantesan the Opi style metal kitu, geningan nurun ti si Abah.”

“Hahahaha..”

After hearing Abah's story, Haji Zaenudin's family enjoyed a dinner interspersed with small talk.

The sky is darkening and getting closer. Although the thick can not fade the beauty. For the moon and the stars that faithfully decorate the sky are so beautiful.

Mimin was still unable to close his eyes when he heard the sound of a motorbike roar that was now beginning to be well memorized by his hearing senses. He glanced at the wall clock in his room which showed it at 23:15.

He woke up and opened the door carefully so as not to wake the other residents of the house. Just like when the magrib had been, he walked towards the living room and shook the curtains. True as he expected, the roar of the motorbike was indeed the sound of the God motor.

He saw the god had come down from the motor. However, instead of directly entering the house, God was seen busy with his cellphone, like typing a message for someone..

He was still watching the movements of the Gods through the window curtain when the phone in his grip vibrated because there was a message notification. He bit his lower lip because he blushed to read the incoming message.

The Man: Assalamualaikum, Salihahku. Thanks for waiting for me to come home. Instead of looking at your handsome husband from the window curtain, mending here to come out, look directly at it.

He immediately closed the curtains and swung a quick step back into his room. While outside the God laughed at his wife's behavior.

*****

The dawn of the shadiq has risen signifying that the dawn has come. The sound of azan reverberating awakens the people who are still asleep in their sleep.

After performing dawn prayers and teaching, Mimin prepared to sweep his yard. The late morning routine was never done again after a misunderstanding that night.

Just now he was about to start sweeping as his gaze caught the shadow of the three men wearing cocoa and sarongs and peci, walking closer towards his house. They are Abah, Sol, and the most stunning are none other than Gods.

The three men had already arrived in front of the rented porch. Mimin immediately approached Abah and grabbed his hand and kissed the back of his hand.

“Teteh ga salim also same husband,” scolded Abah when Mimin had turned around to continue his activities.

Mimin who was stunned by Abah's words then approached the god and grabbed his hand and kissed the back of his hand. For the first time. Making the smile of a God instantly expand as widely as possible.

“Sama I ga salim, Min,” chirps Sol.

“Enak... Can rabies my wife if kiss your hands!” sewot God. Then he turned his eyes back to Mimin.

“Still Mina. Later we go to work together again yes,” said Dewa. Mimin answered with a nod of his head.

 *****

The time shows at 07:20 when Mimin is neatly wearing his work clothes. He polished his face with a thin powder and then polished his ripe lips with a nude lipstick.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

Heard the door of his room was knocked by someone, but not accompanied by the voice of someone.

Mimin who was sitting in front of the dresser immediately woke up and opened the door of his room.

“Mimiiiiiin..!” a woman standing at the door of her room.

“Hanaaaa....!” reply Mimin called out the name of his best friend.
