Red Hooded Girl

Go home

After Haji Zaenudin's car driven by Sol drove to deliver Dewa and Jejed, not long after a car type city car black color stopped in front of the courtyard of Haji Zaenudin's house. A man got out of the car. That man is Haris. While Abah, Mami, Mimin and Opi are still standing in front of the terrace after releasing the return of God to the home of his parents.

"Assalamualaikum," said Haris.

"Waalaikum salam." Everything answered greetings.

"Look how are you?" ask Mami to Haris.

"Good Bi" replied Haris. That's how Haris, since childhood he did not want to change the call of Bibi to Mami. Bu Ratna or Mami is the younger cousin of his late mother Haris and Mimin. So, he called her aunty (tante). After the departure of Ms. Sarah (her mother Haris and Mimin) who died in an accident, she chose to live with her grandparents (abah's parents).

"You alone? Your wife isn't coming?" ask Mommy again.

"No, Bi" replied Haris briefly.

"Just came you Ris, Abah asked you to come here so you would apologize to your sister-in-law!" reproof Abah.

"Udah Abah! Kang Haris told me to come in first, just talk inside," interrupted Mimin to ease the tension between Abah and her brother. From the look of the eyes shown by Abah, Mimin understood very well that Abah was angry.

"Yes, let's go in Ris. Abah's in too!" exclaim Mami.

And they all came in. Haris and Abah sat on the living room sofa. While Mimin and Opi choose to enter their respective rooms.

"Haris eat first yes, Mami enter your favorite tangkil sambelan," said Mami.

"Before I've been here, Bi."

"Oh, yes, Mami has made coffee, yes" said Mami again. This time Haris answered with a nod.

"Will you have a coffee too?" ask Mami.

"Yes, I can."

Then Mami goes to the kitchen leaving Abah and Haris.

"Haris, why did you make your sister-in-law so battered?!" furious Abah.

"Why did Abah defend him anyway? It is not he who has ruined Mimin's good name" Haris said.

"Astagfirullah Haris's. So, you believe the vile accusations of those people? You believe Mimin and the Gods did as those people alleged?" Abah shook his head inexhaustibly as to why his son could believe the people's accusations about Mimin and the Gods.

"You're outrageous Ris, if you believe them!" abah said again.

"Someone told me that the man Mimin married was a jerk," Haris said with a bowed face.

"Who's the one who said that?" cecar Abah's.

Haris, who was bowed, raised his face to look at Abah. "Yusril, his friend Mimin," he said.

Yusril was the culprit of this problem. He who was disappointed did not even believe that Mimin was married. Then take the initiative to find out what happened to the girl. Scrubbing information from the residents of Cibening village which of course with stories of accusations in their style. Yusril inflamed until he met his brother Mimin named Haris and told him everything.

Haris had heard of her sister's impromptu marriage from Abah, but she did not know the story behind the impromptu marriage. Then when Yusril told him everything, making Haris very angry. Especially after Yusril said that the husband of Mimin is a man who is a prostitute and a jerk. So there was an incident of persecution to his sister-in-law, which he did consciously and planned.

*****

"Hey...! So you send flowers every day!" beaver God.

The batik-clothed man who stood his back to the God suddenly twisted his body when he heard the thundering cry of the God. "Yes, it's me. What do you want!" salak is none other than Yusril. 

Yes, it was Yusril who for two days sent flowers. He who has been friends with Mimin when sitting in the High School first, is very familiar with Mimin's favorite. He knew very well about Mimin who loved flowers. So he tried to take the heart of his beloved girl with flowers.

The god was so furious that he clenched his teeth, and his hands clenched to attack forward, but he even complained in pain because his body was still in pain due to the persecution by his brother-in-law last night.

"So this is the guy! Let me represent Wa, I haven't been beating people up in a long time!" jejed exclaimed as he rolled up his sleeve implying he was ready to fight.

"Heh, Sekebon's Acne! Gua ain't scared of you!" salak Yusril's.

"Wah sensation will be different if you can thud Mr. Lurah," seloroh Sol. One of his hands clenched and then hit slowly on the other palm.

"Here it is again, Pipi Cabi is following along!" yusril.

"Sorry, please don't make a fuss here!" exclaim Mother florist. "Please come out if you just want to make a fuss here!" hardik the Mother again.

"See if you dare send flowers to my wife!" threaten God.

"Free you want to send flowers to a sekebon as well, it will not work. Because Mina is so tired of me. You know!" god is full of confidence. After saying that, God and his two best friends passed by and continued his goal, returning home to his parents' house.

*****

Dewa and Jejed arrive at Terminal Rambutan during magrib time. When going down from the bus, someone hit them to make their body stagger forward.

"Woy, be careful dong!" tegor God.

"Sori Bang, hurry up" said the man who hit them then walked quickly past the two.

"Jed, pray first yuk," asked God after getting off the bus.

"Hayu," Jejed said.

Then they looked for the nearest mosque to perform Magrib prayer. After the prayer, Dewa intended to contact Mimin to inform him that he had arrived in Jakarta but he did not find his phone.

"Jed, hape I don't exist" said the god as he continued to search his cell phone.

"What the hell, Wa?"

"Yes, there's no. Duh, where are ya? What's left in the contract?" The god scratched his head trying to remember.

"Try Jed, borrow hape lo. I want to call Mina," said Dewa.

"Gue doesn't have Mina's number, Wa'" Jejed said.

"I can ask Sol."

"Oh, yes." Jejed reached into bags, pockets of clothes and pockets of pants. "Well, hape I don't exist either!" yells.

"Well, how come there's no phone?"

 "Don't take the guy who hit us on the bus."

"God. So, we're pickpocketed. Continue how I contact Mina," lamented the Lord.

"Later call Mina when you get home" suggested Dewa.

"The problem is I did not memorize the number Mina,” regretted God.

“Ya already lo phone Sol first, ask number Mina,” said Jejed.

“Bener Jed's. Doesn't it have Sol number?”

“Neg. Sol's changing a new number, so I don't memorize the number."

“Omegos.”

They then ordered a taxi to go home.

"Alhamdulillah," said the Lord shortly after getting off the taxi.

He looked at the homes of his parents who had been abandoned for two months. With a smile growing and all the longing especially to Mama, he swung his steps. Arriving at the door, he pressed the doorbell. For a few minutes waiting, until finally the door of the house was opened by Bi Siti.

"Den God...!" bi Siti exclaimed in surprise to the point that her eyes were round and her mouth was open gaping. "Is this really the God Den?!" hysterical shouting.

"Yes, Bi." The god threw his smile.

Bi Siti who had considered the Gods like her son immediately rushed to embrace the Gods. "Yes Gusti, thank God Den has returned," said Bi Siti accompanied by sobs of happiness.

"Bi Siti how are you?" asked the God in the middle of Bi Siti's embrace.

"Alhamdulillah Bibi mah healthy Den," Bi Siti replied after releasing her embrace.

"Ah, usual. His name is also a man," said the Lord.

"Come, Den, come in! We continue in the conversation," said Bi Siti. And they also went into the house.

"Sleepy kok? Where are Mom and Dad going, Bi?" asked God while swinging his steps into the house, walking hand in hand with Bi Siti.

"The same mom Papa came out, Den. Soon also go home," said Bi Siti.

"Mommy's healthy, isn't Bi?"

"Thank God be healthy, Den. But, Mama has been sad since Den Dewa left" said Bi Siti.

The god threw his body over the luxurious sofa, permeating its comfort. He smiled considering that for two months he had never felt sitting on a luxurious sofa. Usually sit on the floor tile of the rented floor. Or ever sit on the couch of Mimin's house. And the sofa in the living room of Mimin house is not as luxurious as the sofa in his house.

“Den God want to eat?” ask Bi Siti.

“Bby, Bi. Coincidentally already hungry,” said Dewa.

“Siap Den, Aunty prepare the meal first.” Bi Siti immediately went to the kitchen to prepare food.

The god ate the food, while accompanied by Bi Siti. Talk like someone who hasn't seen each other in a long time. Bi Siti who told more about the condition of the house after his departure. Tells about how longed Mother Goddess, mother God. About Mr. Satya, the God's papa. Michael Angelo the God's favorite turtle. Until then told me about Deka, her brother who also left this house.

After he finished eating, the god went to his room on the second floor. Before opening the door of his room, he stopped and turned his gaze to the door of the room in front of him, which was the door of the room Deka. The shadow of the incident two months ago about the betrayal of Clara and Deka, immediately flashed back in his memory.

He only realized that now, the shadow of the incident did not make him short of breath. He even gave and thanked her. Because the incident became a beginning of the author's way to bring together with his soul mate, the beautiful Red Hooded Girl.

“Bu, Den Dewa has returned,” explained Bi Siti shortly after opening the door for Bu Dewi and Pak Satya who just arrived.

“Hah, right Bi?” sahut Bu Dewi.

“Iya, Mom. Den Dewa is in his room.”

Eagerly, Madam Dewi swung her pace towards the room of the Gods. When he opened the door of the room of God, he saw that God was praying. The Goddess ma'am went inside, then sat on the bed waiting for the God to finish his prayers.

The god turns his head to the right and then to the left while saying greetings, as a sign that his prayer has ended. Next close with prayer after prayer.

“God...!” The Goddess embraced the gods.

“Mama..!” The god hugged his mother.

“Mama kangen you Darling.”

“God also miss Mama.”

After long enough to embrace to vent the longing between mother and child, then Miss Dewi let go of her embrace. And he was surprised when he found the face of his favorite son battered.

“Darling why your face is battered like this, Hah?!” The Goddess Ma'am looked anxiously at the face of the God.

“Who would dare to hit you like this?!” madam Bu Dewi's.

“Nothing Mah. His name is also a guy, it is common like this,” said Dewa.

“So far where have you been going Wa? How do you eat anyway? You will not get pocket money from Mama,” cecar Bu Dewi.

“God is fine, Ma. Even Gods are happy, now Gods can find their own money. Dewa is now working Ma, can already live independently, not become a spoiled child again,” said Dewa proudly.

That's what he feels right now. He who used to live in a luxurious house, initially felt difficulty when moving to a small and simple rented house, hot because there was no AC and many mosquitoes. But now he enjoys his simple life. Simple but happy.

“What do you work for? Work where?” ask the Goddess.

“Work in workshop, Ma. Same sing too,” bright Gods.

“Working in the workshop is his salary how much is the least also smaller than the pocket money that Mama loves,” Cibir Bu Dewi.

“Jit precisely there sticky enjoyment. Divide that little money so that it can be enough for the cost of living a month. Like the challenge of living to live life,” said Dewa.

“Simple is this Mama's child's life?”

“The true cause of life is very simple. It's just that we're used to making it complicated.”

“You're happy Wa?”

“Happy very much Ma. God is surrounded by good people. And there God finds true love, Ma. The gods are now married,” said Dewa.

“What? Be married? Who are you married to?”

“With the God's dream girl is Ma.”

“Who?”

“Name is Jasmina Zahra.”

“Jasmina Zahra, her name is beautiful. Her guy is beautiful ga?”

“Beuh, gorgeous Ma.”

“Where did your wife go? Why don't you bring it here?”

“Makanya Dewa came home because Dewa wanted to invite Mama with Papa to meet her family Mina, and officially proposed Mina to Dewa.”

“Loh, said you guys are married?”

“Iya, already. But just married siri.”

“Hah, marry siri??”

“So the story is like this Ma. There was a misunderstanding that eventually got us married. We were slandered, raided by villagers.”

“Jeez, you raided?!”

“Iya Ma. But it's okay, the gods are happy. Because God finally got married to Mina. Pretty Ma, the guy. Beautiful and salihah.”

“Ih, you are strange Wa. Raided even happy.”

The mother and son continued to talk and tell each other stories. Tell me everything as long as they are apart. Until then Mr. Satya went into the room.

“Wah, your hero is Ma. It was battered like that, just remembered home,” cynical Mr. Satya.

“Papa!!” exclaims Miss Dewi who does not like the welcome of her husband to the Gods.

“Good you go home. You can solve the complexity of the problem Papa,” said Mr. Satya.

“Papa! Please don't discuss that issue first!” My mother was getting angry with her husband's attitude.

“But Ma, this problem could affect Papa company. Papa company can..”.

“Enough Pah!” hardik Bu Dewi's.

“This is actually no problem what Mah, Pah??” ask God. A speck of anxiety riddled his heart.
