SOLD ON THE FIRST NIGHT

chapter 55. INNKEEPING

After performing the prayer dzuhur now Bintang group was about to go to the Inn but their steps stopped because abah Sudin called them.

"Have you finished your prayers? " Said abah Sudin.

"It's the bah." Answer the Star then accompanied by a nod by another.

"So where are you going now?" ask Abah Sudin again.

"The plan is we want to go directly to the lodging bah, we want to rest first before tomorrow's event starts."Julian.

"Why go to the inn?just go to your house, not far from here."Abah Sudin.

"It's okay if we go to the inn, we don't want to listen to my brother and family."Syfa.

"Oh..ngak ngerepotin kok, it's just happy you want to stay at the abah place, even though I've told kiyai Somad that you just stay at home, did he say it?"Abah Sudin.

"Oh yes, abah has delivered a message abah, it's just that we want to stay at the inn, we feel bad if inconveniencing others." Star Saying.

"Alright.abah will not force." said Abah Sudin later.

"Thank you Bah, maybe next time we'll stay at my place." Say the stars again.

"It's with pleasure, son." Abah Sudin.

"Please excuse us, then, Assalamu'alaikum?"they say it in unison when they give their greetings.

"Getishalight."Abah Sudin replied, but this time he seemed to think when he noticed the woman behind the veil, he felt like he had known the woman before.

Shalu looks gerogi when abah Sudin watches himself carefully.

"Yes, I'm sorry, why did Sudin see me like that, did he suspect me."Say Shalu in heart.

" Sister.ayo we walk now."Syfa said which then made Syalu a little surprised.

"Astaghfirullah.eh..iya Syfa let's walk."Icap Shalu nervous.

When they were about to go outside suddenly abah Sudin stopped their steps back.

" Wait son!!!"Abah Sudin.

Then they all stopped and looked towards the source of the voice.

"What's the bah?"Confused stars.

"Sorry son, before you want to ask me, is this kid real here."Said Sudin politely pointing towards Shalu.

Instantly Shalu was surprised by the words of Sudin's brother, it was true that Sudin's brother was suspicious of him.The others were no less surprised, they did not expect that Sudin's brother would recognize Shalu.

"Mom.bu.kan bah, he's a real solo person."The stars lie.

"Astaghfirullah.yes Allah forgive your servant who lied to his parents." Say the stars in the heart.

"But.why do you feel like you've seen yourself, why do you feel familiar." Abah Sudin.

Before growing up Syalu was often taught with Sudin's brother, Sudin's brother was the second grandfather for Syalu, because in addition to the friendly and kind young people who always teach to always obey both parents and do good to others. So no wonder if abah Sudin recognized the figure of Shalu.

"Not Bah, he is not here.Even if there is no obstacle bang Bintang will ta'aruf with this sister Sya as soon as possible." Syfa interrupted.

Syfa deliberately said it so that Sudin abah no longer suspected, different things with Shalu and Bintang both equally surprised by Syfa's words.

"Astaghfirullah.why does Syfa talk like that." Say Shalu in heart.

"This boy.bener-yes yes..intentionally want to make me ashamed in front of Shalu." The stars in the heart.

Julian and Furqon heard Syfa's statement.

"Huh? i.iya bah." That is all the stars can say.

While Syalu looks wrong behavior because of the answer of the Star.

"Maybe I misidentified her, she couldn't be Shalu, she's married." Batin abah Sudin's.

"Okay, we'll excuse you" Syfa said.

"Oh yes please." Answer Abah Sudin.

"Assalamu'alaikum" they said in unison.

"Getishalight." Answer abah Sudin.

Then they exited the mosque to the car parked outside, when inside the car Syalu quickly opened his veil.

"Why opened? you're so pretty wearing that veil." Cirps Julian.

"Uluh..uluh..ada the mode." ledek Syfa.

"What the heck.the basics of a child.bwell."Julian Grunt.

" You are.inget wey age...Shalu won't be messing with your mode."The star doesn't seem to like Julian's praise.

"Idih...pas ustadz...lo why? jealous? envy says boss.hahaha" Spontan in the car so rame because Julian act, it's,

While Syalu seemed to smile at the words of Julian who said ustadz jealous star. Another thing with the Star he seemed speechless at the words of Julian who said he was jealous.

"Are I really jealous?" Say the stars in the heart.

Then their car drove slowly, only about five minutes their car was running suddenly Syalu shed tears, he saw a scene that made his heart moved and sad.

"Which sister's house?" ask Syfa when she sees Shalu crying.

"That was brown." Syalu said sadly.

"Oh..Who were the other fathers sitting down earlier? there are other mothers who flush flowers, right?" Syfa.

Syfa's words in Shalu's response with a nod, he was no longer able to speak.

"Mas Furqon, let's get the car back." Pinta Syfa's.

"Huh? back off?" Furqon was confused.

"Yes back off, let Brother Shalu stare at his parents from a distance, maybe he misses them a lot." Say Syfa repeating her words.

Then Furqon turned to ustadz Bintang, he deliberately wanted to ask for approval from Bintang so as not to make mistakes that are not in want.

The star quickly responded with a nod.

"I didn't expect my little brother to be so wise in thinking." Inner Star.

Then Furqon quickly rewind his vehicle, incidentally the fence of the house Shalu is not closed, so freely Shalu can see both his parents.

"Papa...Shalu misses papa so much..." Said Shalu in the middle of her sobs.

"Oh..so is it true that his papa brother Shalu? but why does he look so unwell, brother?" syfa.

Ever since knowing what happened to his son, Mr. Delon was more often sickly, difficult to sleep even did not want to eat, did not eat, his once burly body now looks thinner and frail.The black circle around the eyes was clearly visible, what a very heartbreaking sight.

"Papa...What happened? why does papa look so unwell?" Say Shalu again.

"Syalu...Do you want to see them? if yes.we are ready to accompany you." Star Saying.

"No ustadz, I'm not ready yet, I don't dare to meet them." Syalu.

Shalu was still really scared if he had to meet the mother, he was afraid if forced back to Rico, the man who had sold himself to other men.
