The eyes of the twilight had perfectly sunk, the dark began to creep over the earth.
Adhan magribpun began to be echoed in every mosque and Musholla.
Maymunah is getting ready to go to the toilet.
Others were seen still joking in front of the camp and starting a bonfire.
" Sir, excuse me first, you go wudu and pray." He told the Sultan.
The Sultan smiled and nodded.
" Oh yes, sir. You want me and the lady's friends to stay here, right?, then why only four camps, where will we sleep?" Maymunah asked the Sultan, he actually felt a little afraid, but he still talked about it because he could not sleep with the Sultan in a camp.
Hearing Maymunah's question, Afina and the others laughed at Maymunah.
" Mae, you are so cute. We'll sleep with each other, the three of us with them, you with the Sultan." Afina greeted the laughter of her friends.
Degs...
It felt like a sledgehammer hit Maymunah's chest hearing the words of his Friend.
"Astagfirullah, this is what is it?, we are not married couples, why do we want to sleep with them, and just now..Astagfirullah" Maymunah looks furious with his friend and neighbor.
" Ha-ha-ha. gini day still talking your norm, don't be tacky ah. If you do not want to sleep with the Sultan, yes already, you sleep outside aja later ..hahhaha" Rania friend Afina chimed in.
Maymunah looked increasingly furious, he turned to face the Sultan.
"Sultan, please rent another big camp, I want the four of them and I sleep in a separate camp, not with you and your friends. If you refuse, I will report you to the security guard there. I'll tell you that you're not a married couple, let's get you guys kicked out of here." Maymunah said her sentences firmly and with great emphasis.
The sultan looked confused.
" Mae, what the hell are you, playing report all?" Afina did not accept Maymunah's proposal.
" Okay, if you don't rent another camp, I'll sleep in Musholla and I'll report your behavior to the security guard. Excuse um. " Maymunah said, firmly.
After that he went straight to the musholla without regard to the Sultan and the others.
"Astagfirullah, I really do not understand the same people, not husband and wife even want to sleep together. Have they been that way all this time?..
O Allah save the servant from all this...Tomorrow the day after tomorrow, I have to ask for my salary to the Sultan, if tomorrow the day after tomorrow, I have two working days, meaning I will get about 400 thousand, well enough for the cost of returning to Serang." Maymunah continued to talk to herself while walking towards Musholla.
"Yes Sultan, do you want that woman?" Tanya Faisal, one of the Sultan's friends.
The sultan shook his head.
" Just this morning she started work, the plan is tonight I want her to sleep as weak as me, but she looks like a muhtaromah (respectful) woman. You need to know, do not let me hug, I asked salaman he did not want" said Sultan explained.
"Waw really, there are such women in Indonesia, not they are the same, always need money, even willing to leave her husband and family for work to our country?"
Faisal replied mockingly.
" Yes, you know, I used to play with my maids? Hahaha" Fahad chimed in on his friend.
" Eh you make no mistake, there are also tablets, which are honorable, the proof is that many become ustadzah here" replied the Sultan.
" Yes, that's not work .if those who want to work like this are certainly not respectable women" Faisal said again.
" But she doesn't seem to be a woman like them, she works here because she thinks her job is just cooking" Sultan replied to his friend.
"Mmm..do you want him? I have a way to bring him in, I'm sure even though they are honorable, they need money, so you lure him with a lot of money, he will" This time Abdurahman, this time, another friend who complains.
" If he still doesn't want to, how?, when I married him..?" Answer Sultan.
" Akhh you, you don't know? There are many who want to marry only contracts. So you marry that woman only on contract, just because you're here, and you have no obligation to her other than to give her money"
The mangosteen sultan approved the proposal of his friends.
The night crept up, the moon began to be seen emitting its rays illuminating part of the earth.
The moonlight was seen sneaking in the lush part of the pine tree.
Maymunah remained in Musholla until Isha's Adhan was proclaimed. After finishing Isya's prayer, he looked confused, he was confused if he returned to the camp, he would see his friends do something inappropriate in front of him.
He was also afraid that the Sultan would not rent another camp, but he was also afraid to be alone in Musholla.
"What should I do now?, should I leave here.
I'd better go back to camp, it's quiet here, there's only security.
If they don't rent one more camp, I'll just come back." Maymunah can only mumble by herself.
After deciding to return to the camp, he dragged his heavy feet to step back to the camp where his friends were.
In front of their camp, the Sultan and his friends swarm around the campfire.
"Eh Mae, you've come, let's sit here quickly. The air is very cold, so sit by this campfire" Afina exclaimed as she watched Maymunah arrive.
Maymunah nodded, she drew closer to them and sat down beside the Sultan, albeit a little far apart.
"Is he praying?" Sultan asked as Maymunah sat beside him.
Maymunah just nodded.
"Sultan, take it and drink it, love your partner, let you feel warm" said one of the Sultan's friends as he poured the drink into two glasses.
Maymunah was wide-eyed when she saw the shape of the bottle.
"Astagfirullah, did I not look wrong, the bottle they were holding was like a bottle of Wine, did they drink alcoholic beverages?..Astagfirullah" He asked in his heart.
"Drink ! let your body feel warm. " She said while offering a glass of white wine to Maymunah.
"What drink is this?" Maymunah asked without receiving the glass.
The Sultan's friends and others laughed at Maymunah's question, which they heard.
"Haha Mae, Mae, what a village you are. Is that an expensive drink? Only the rich can buy, if we-we will not buy the rich. That's why you have to try it, surely later addicted to "Sahut Afina.
[13/2 11:03] Nana: Maymunah rubbed her chest and adjusted her breathing to reduce tightness in her chest.
He felt out of words to express his disappointment to his friend and neighbor.
"Teh, Mae was really disappointed. Didn't think of the old Uwa Sofa in the village, why is it still like this?" Maymunah tried to ask Afina, her best friend. Her tears flowed without being asked, while Afina just smiled cynically in response to her words.
" And you, the Sultan and your friends, do you never know that what you drink is haram?" Maymunah asked the Sultan and his friends while looking at them one by one.
He got up from his seat and walked over to the campfire in front of him.
He took hold of the burning wood and pointed it at all who were present.
The shock made them jump in shock and retreat.
"Mae, what the hell are you? It's fire, why you play, it can burn us.." Shouted Afina in the middle of her fear.
"Maymunah, are you crazy? Don't mess with the fire, it can burn us" cried Faisal who looks scared to see Maymunah's behavior.
Maymunah smiled sinisterly as she put the still burning wood into place.
"You are afraid of the fire of the world, but you are not afraid of the fire of hell.
May I avoid things that would make God angry like this"
Lirih.
He turned around and stepped away from them.
Sultan who saw Maymunah leave just like that, immediately put a glass in his hand and rushed after Maymunah.
"Maymunah, wait ! Where are you going?" He shouted while running after Maymunah.
Maymunah stopped and turned to the Sultan.
"I'm going to Musholla, I don't want to see you drinking that drink" Maymunah replied, in a sharp tone.
"Ok, if you don't want to drink it, but you don't go, you can stay in the camp. I've rented another camp for you" Sultan tried to prevent Maymunah.
Maymunah shook her head.
"What's? you've studied religion in your country, haven't you?
I'm sure you know what the law is to drink alcohol, I'm sure you also know that in the law of drinking khomer, the sinner is not just the one who does it, I'm sure you also know that in the law of drinking khomer, the sinner is not the only one who does it, but all parties involved in its provider include people who see it without preventing it. I'm sure you understand that, don't you?" He asked with emotion overflowing.
Sultan looked down embarrassed to hear Maymunah's question that felt piercing in his heart.
He knew it was haram, but the wrong association had made him get carried away and forget the religious lessons he had learned.
The Sultan sighed, and again tried to persuade Maymunah.
" Okay, I won't force you to stay in camp, but let me accompany you. I'm worried about you. It's a jungle, it's very dangerous for women to walk alone.
Look around you, it's quiet here, even though many people are camping, but all in their tents. So this is very dangerous for you. What if there is a beast? Or is there a bad guy who bullies you? "
Maymunah smiled cynically at the Sultan's words.
" Same, you are also dangerous" he replied.
" Yes, not the same. If I don't bite you, I won't let you sleep with me either. " Sultan Rayu.
" Come, let me accompany you, besides I want to pray" he added.
Maymunah sighed before answering.
" Are you not drunk?" Ask Maymunah.
" No, I haven't had a drink yet".
Because the Sultan kept forcing, Maymunah finally allowed the Sultan to accompany him.
"Ok, if you really want to pray, and do not macem-macem the same me.
If you dare to fuck around, I'll beat you up"
The Sultan chuckled at the words of Maymunah.
" Haha, you want to beat me up, are you capable?"
Bugh..
Not yet the Sultan continued his talk, Maymunah had landed his kick on the Sultan's back, to make him stagger forward.
"Aww.why are you kicking me?" Ask her while she is in pain.
" Don't you ask?. That's a lesson to you anyway, don't ever mess with me." Maymunah replied as she continued her steps.
Sultan just shook his head, Maymunah's behavior actually made him more amazed.
" Crazy child, the more curious I am. His personality is unique. She is BAK BUNGA LOTUS, despite being in a murky pond, but she still grows beautifully. Anyway I have to get him, whatever the way" muttered Sultan inwardly.
