Sharing Love: My Preferred Husband

Voting

Continuing the ritual, Adwi also dwells on the bench in front of his door. He laid two eggs on the ground and sat down accompanied by Abah. They are allowed to chat or eat as long as they remain seated there.

If only silent for hours it feels bored, especially they should not turn their attention to the surrounding scenery. Adwi lit his cigarette and gave Abah a pack as well. Abah was a smoker, so Anjani did not bother if Adwi smoked too.

There was still the sound of TV and chatter in the house. The atmosphere was warm, they were neither too lonely nor frightened. Looking at the clock on the phone, it feels slow. It turns out that it is still a few hours away, Adwi feels bad to bring Abah to stay up with him.

Towards midnight, Adwi suddenly saw something white in a short distance hovering before him. Sebat Adwi was shocked and panicked, what object just passed by? He spoke to Abah.

"Sir, that was in front of a white object that flew by!"

"Where ah? You didn't see." Abah spread his gaze around, he saw neither the thing nor the trace of it. Though at that time he was also on standby to glance there and here.

'Ahh. maybe it's just my hallucination.' Thought Adwi.

While smoking and chatting casually, Adwi and Abah finally arrived at 12 pm. Adwi also took 2 eggs and brought them into the house.

Everyone in the house seemed to have fallen asleep, including my grandfather. So Adwi also kept the 2 eggs and went to go to rest.

At dawn, many people came home. They are the mothers of experts in cooking catering services that come from the village itself. That morning they were busy cooking with the help of relatives and other neighbors.

Like at the wedding, if Adwi wins the election later, then Adwi must entertain the residents of his village with buffet dishes.

"Wi, how was malem? Which egg?" Ask Grandpa that morning.

"It's Cake. Mmm. Last night it felt like someone was passing by, like that white cloth." Adwi thinks it has to do with the ritual.

"Well, it's good that you've seen. That's a sign you're going to win. Let's eat that egg with your wife."

It turns out that what Adwi saw last night was indeed true. But Grandpa did not explain what flying object was that night, he just obeyed Grandpa's orders and ate the boiled egg with Anjani.

Already seen neat and well-established, Adwi also left for the poll held in front of the field of an elementary school.

There are two paslons in that place, and Adwi is a paslon of sequence number 2. Adwi felt very nervous, thinking about how he would have to speak in front of everyone. While paslon number 1, he looks very haughty as showing the attitude of believing that he will win.

On the other side:

The grown Laila went alone to the garden to pick up the cloves that had fallen from the tree. That month is indeed clove season, the garden he came to is still in the area of the houses and the distance is not too far from his home.

"Hey, Lalie! Your father is again a candidate why are you even here?"

When Laila was busy putting one by one clove grains into her container, suddenly a boy her age shouted from a distance. Laila who saw him immediately ran to the house regardless of the words of the boy.

"My band?" Arriving home, Laila realized that she had lost the bando she had previously worn.

"What's wrong? This is Nyari, right?" Said the boy who had previously shouted to Laila.

"Yes, here, it's mine." Laila tried to grab the bando but the boy didn't let it go.

"Hmm. If you want this back, pay first. I've helped you find her." Said the boy still holding Laila's bando.

"How much?" Laila instantly accepted it without resisting.

"Two thousand."

"I'll go home first to get the money."

"Well, I'll wait here."

Laila rushed to her house. At home, he gouged out the contents of his piggy bank and took money of two thousand rupiah according to what the child wanted.

Laila returned to the place but she did not find the boy. Laila had no idea what the boy's name was, she had never played together before. But he knew where the boy lived because he always saw the boy in the stalls he frequented.

Then he tried to go to the stall, and sure enough, the boy was there. The stall was fused with a house, and in front of the house, the boy was seen sitting with one of his male friends.

"It." Laila handed over the money in shame. He got his bando back and immediately went home.

Unfortunately, the selection of the village chief was finished and it was announced who the winner was. Suddenly Laila was surprised by the crowds of people who came in droves to her house.

He was playing outside, playing sand on a large land where Adwi had stored his building materials. Laila saw the boy she had met earlier also coming with her other friends. He also hid, playing behind a mountain of sand so as not to be seen by people.

In that small and simple house, they ate a delicious buffet. As it turned out, the result of the vote had been won by Adwi. And now, Adwi officially became a village head (lurah).

My family doesn't believe it, but it's true. In fact, the difference in votes between the two pairs was very much different. Of the hundreds of villagers, the number 1 candidate pair only got dozens of votes. And the rest, of course, is obtained by the number 2 paslon, Adwi.

"Father did not understand, was pengloblosan Mr why even nyoblos number one?"

His father Adwi was astonished, when he wanted to choose and mencoblos his son, but already his hand moved mencoblos number one. Even so, still, one vote from the Father will not change who wins.

"Ah, I want nyoblos number one time" said Mom joking.

"Kok the Aa can win, huh? Is this because of the semalem?" Anjani found it strange why the citizens chose her husband who likes to wander it to be a lurah.

"Ahh, maybe they don't like Mr. Karim, he's old, it's gray." Said one of the relatives.

"Normally those people want a young leader, said Adwi, who is still a seger." Further.
