Sharing Love: My Preferred Husband

The Achieved Results

The dawn of prints is approaching the rising of the sun. After the dawn prayer, Anjani came to the house of his neighbor in front to invite him to worship together. While Anjani went to serve, Adwi who had not gone to work was on duty to guard Laila.

Towards the family home of the deceased, Anjani and her neighbor chatted while walking on a dark day. That morning, there were already a lot of people mourning giving off an atmosphere of sorrow.

After visiting the family of the deceased, Anjani and her neighbors stopped by the stall first to shop. While picking the vegetables on the table, Anjani becomes uncomfortable as the neighbor carries her husband's name.

"Neng, do not you fear what is left behind every mallem the same as Adwi? Especially in the decket of your house there is a new cemetery loh." Said Miss Elah in the crowded shop.

"No ma'am, the same time I was afraid" said Anjani did not reveal the truth. She did not want her husband's name to be ugly in the eyes of others.

Actually he was afraid because Laila suddenly just cried incessantly. But it is useless to beg Adwi, Anjani is tired, no longer want to get the same answer from Adwi.

"How dangerous is there? Adwi also kejengerannya like to go home in the middle of the mall." Ms. Elah knows from the noise of Adwi's motor.

"What time is Mom? That Adwi likes to hang out on the sidewalk, right? Neng, did Adwi again why until the middle of the mall so? The place was once raided by the police because the people were drunk with gambling." Another person who was also shopping.

"Yes, Neng, when are you not banned?" Said Miss Elah.

"Ah, A Adwi mah is not that time Mom, right said Mother was also the place has been raided, so they must have not cheated it again." Anjani said casually. Even though he was surprised because he just knew that the place likes to be used as a place of worship.

"Neng does not know, the place is still safe, the police are also bribed."

From that chat, Anjani did not say much. Bad prejudices about her husband trying to get out of his mind. Where maybe Adwi likes to gamble or drunk. If it really happened, then now surely their lives are already destitute.

Arriving at home, Anjani felt a little annoyed to Miss Elah who had triggered the unpleasant chat. Anjani goes into the room and sees Adwi reading her notebook, while Laila seems to be asleep.

"A, someone said, where Aa was hanging out was where drunk people were gambling?" Anjani asked me nicely.

"Yes, but I'm not following along, I'm just playing the same copier card." Adwi paused his reading.

Adwi never told Anjani about it, but Anjani continued to believe in her husband. The intricacies of other people's stories to Adwi never once made Anjani spark the fire of her quarrel.

Slowly, Anjani's annoyance with her neighbors passed. Anjani knows that it is not good to alienate his own neighbors, neighbors are the second family he has. If there is anything, before the arrival of the family, it must be the close neighbors who will first come to him.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat. Mom, it's me making balls. Still anget, try it one time."

During the day, Anjani delivers snacks to her neighbor, Miss Elah. The family was seen sitting quietly in front of the terrace. With Laila, Anjani mingles with the family. He was very familiar with Miss Elah because the distance of his house was very close.

"Mmm. yummy Neng. It's sugar with brown sugar, huh?" Miss Elah tucked one piece of sponge.

"Yes ma'am, if it's still a good one ma'am."

"Mother also wants to make ah, the sugar pesen is like normal."

Ms. Elah and her family were busy eating the snack. It was the first sponge Anjani made himself, he made a sponge while asking Mom the recipe over the phone. Anjani felt happy if his artificial sponge was liked by many people.

"Yes ma'am, tomorrow morning I'm anterin, if there's no more ma'am now."

"Wahh.. whereas you make sugar like a lot, but how come cepet abisnya? Where do you sell it?"

"Obiasa ma'am, same grandmother in the village next door. She likes to sell sugar that she bought from me. And. there are also those who pay for sugar that fails to print, he said he wants to be made into syrup for business." Anjani is at length.

His neighbors were amazed, they were only farmers and farm workers who like to be asked to help the work of people's fields.

Compared to its neighbors, Anjani's source of income is much more profitable and does not need to spend a lot of energy.

***

One month passed, the harvest that had become the right of Anjani because the pawnshop agreement at that time he had received. Dozens of rice sacks that have been dry and free of grain are stored in the kitchen with cement floor.

Their lives are prosperous, rice they no longer need to buy. Although the money that Anjani mortgaged has not been returned, but he deliberately did not collect it for his purposes later in the future.

During that time, Adwi and Anjani's relationship went well. No quarrels between them. Teh Wiwit who was a credit worker was no longer traveling around the village with Laras, he replaced Laras with other relatives.

Until one time, there are things that require Anjani to re-force Adwi not to play too late.

That night Anjani was startled by the sound of a concussion from outside his house. He peeked at the quiet, dark area from behind the window. The light of the flashlight brought by the residents highlighted clearly.

He thought someone had died again, and they rushed to dig a grave near his house. But Anjani was astonished that he did not hear the announcement of the dead, and why were the citizens seen running around?

Anjani is curious and comes out of her house to wonder. Apparently, it was the residents who were patrolling and were chasing a thief who ran past Anjani's house.

From the incident Anjani was increasingly afraid of being left at night at home, he tried to tell Adwi when Adwi came home.

"A, semalem there's a burglar passing through here. I'm afraid of A. Aa don't play for long." Anjani said carefully.

"Yes, I know." Adwi just got home at 2am. Such info is easy for him to get because he plays in an open area with people who commute at all times.

"Yes, I'm home at 11." Adwi said without emotion.

His words made Anjani doubt. Is Adwi aware that criminals are always wandering everywhere especially in the middle of darkness? Or will he just ban his words in one night?
