The Ark of Love Nurmala

Fishing Son

Solar rays propagate gently between the windows of Nurmala's house. The residents have started to move. Nurmala can already sit in the middle room with a fresher face.

Mr. Sardi and Lila are ready to return to Kediri.

"How are you doing, Nduk, healthy?" asked Mr. Sardi when he saw Nurmala could sit back. Nurmala smiled and said she was better.

"So, so you came home this morning?" tanya Aldi was sitting next to Nurmala.

"God willing! Al father wants to know, do you not want to adopt children, maybe it can be as a lure?" Mr. Sardi's face looks serious. Aldi who was originally relaxed now also concentrate on his father's conversation.

"Unthinkable sir, at this time we are still trying to undergo treatment, so yes have to be patient. Do you want to have a grandson soon? If so, just marry Lila sir!" Aldi teases his sister, trying to break the atmosphere so as not to feel tense, especially for Nurmala.

"Damn...That's why I still want to work!" Aldi's sister who just finished college grinned amused when asked to get married quickly.

"It's time, wait moreover, the Burhan is also ready to ask you!" Aldi was getting excited about his ridicule.

"Waduuh why carry Burhan's name all the way! she's my Junior High School friend Mas, not a boyfriend, you know!" Aldi laughed with satisfaction at Lila's misbehaved expression. All laughs included Nurmala.

"Breakfast is ready, Nurmala!" said Mpok Jum from the middle room door. Aldi asked his family to move to the dining room. "Where is Pakde Jarno?" ask Aldi.

"Maybe sleep again!" said Mr. Sardi. Aldi hurried to the room.

"Sir, tok.tok...Sirde let's have breakfast first!" aldi said at the door. Only a snoring sound was heard from inside the room, Aldi repeated his call once again, but still there was no answer, finally he decided to let Pakde Jarno stay asleep and return to the dining room.

After a long conversation, Mr. Sardi and Lila prepared to go home, Aldi prepared the position of his car.

"Sir, you go home first yes, take care of your health well, many are grateful and pray, so that the provision will increase in blessings!" mr. Sardi's message to Nurmala.

"Nggeh Sir, please pray!" nurmala said as she shook hands and hugged Lila.

Nurmala's hand-dropped the speed of Aldi's moving car left the yard.

"Al, do you have any intention of polygamy? ask Mr. Sardi when they're on their way.

"No sir, absolutely nothing!" aldi replied firmly.

"Don't Mas! Don't ever, pity Mbak Nurmala, if Aldi mas married again, I choose to stop being your sister Mas!" cletuk Lila from the back seat. Aldi laughed at his sister's words.

"Just relax Lila, this Masmu is the type of loyal man only one woman really, but do not refuse if your mother asks for it!"

"Haaah, same thing! I hate polygamy!" Lila ketus refused.

"Lila halal polygamy, protected by law, rather than cheating, gather kebo, ***free?!"

"I don't like it, period!" lila said emotionally.

"Hey, it's Lila, you're the sewer!" said Mr. Sardi. Lila was speechless with a manyun mouth while looking at the streets. Aldi glanced at his sister from the rearview mirror.

The buses lined up began to appear from a distance, Aldi's car turned to the entrance, then took a safe position to drop off passengers. Aldi opened the trunk and helped his father lift things onto the bus.

Before long the bus that will deliver Mr. Sardi began to move, Aldi got off, stood waiting until the bus came out of the terminal, and then returned home.

Meanwhile at the house Nurmala was helping Mpok Jum in the kitchen, Pakde Jarno looked just woke up from his sleep.

"Where are the others, how quiet?" tannya

"Father has returned Pakde, it was already saying goodbye, but Pakde is still sleeping" said Nurmala. Pakde Jarno did not answer. Instead of going to the bathroom, the old man lit his cigar while sitting on the side porch.

"If you want to take a fishing boy, I have a grandson in Jakarta" said Pakde Jarno while taking rice from inside the basket. Nurmala listened while sitting down to accompany her.

"I mean Pakde?"

"Later I can talk to them, if you want to nurture them for fishing alone" Pakde Jarno added as he prepared to spoon breakfast.

"Oh so, please Pakde enjoy the food, I talked to Kang Aldi first, of course, this must be our mental and physical readiness both Pakde!" Pakde Jarno was speechless at Nurmala's explanation. He enjoyed his food, Nurmala chose to step aside to sit in front of the TV.

"Can I take care of someone else's child?" tanya batin Nurmala. He thought, educating the children of others is more difficult than the children themselves.

"But when do I have my own children?" the question is within.

Kick... Kik, the sound of Aldi's car lock was heard in the yard.

"Assynnya!" greet Aldi when he enters his house. Nurmala answered her greeting with a smile.

"Alhamdulillah Akang is home!" nurmala sumringah.

"Where's Pakde?" ask Aldi.

"That!" point at Nurmala while gesturing a hand in her mouth. Aldi nodded while raising his eyebrows. Aldi sat next to Nurmala. Shortly afterwards Pakde Jarno lit his cigar in the living room.

Aldi sat down to talk.

"Tomorrow to come with me to Jakarta!" pakde Jarno.

"Ehem, yes indeed I will deliver Pakde to Jakarta, right?"

"Take your wife to see the fishing boy!"

"Fishing boy?" Aldi's distraught.

"Did Nurmala not tell you?"

"No way Pakde, Aldi just came!" Pakde Jarno was silent, his cigarette suction became deeper, then the Dutch-era train chimney, the smoke billowing filled the room.

"Speak, think if not now when else will you keep waiting?" Aldi stood up, asking himself to discuss first. Aldi let Pakde Jarno sit alone.

"Nur, we need to talk seriously!" Aldi took his wife into the room.

"Is it true that Pakde asked you to take a fishing boy?" aldi asked after they sat down together.

"Yes Kang, if we can, if the child is wayward I can not stay silent Kang, my hand must be a snatch. Can her parents accept that she pinches me?" nurmala.

"Emmm, I also have the same concern if we take the children of the Nur people, but said the children of the lure can produce good qualities we can be wiser to be parents. Motherly nature can appear more in you. If we are sincere, the word ustad can be a prayer" said Aldi.

Nurmala was stunned to hear her husband's explanation. "How's it?" ask Aldi.

"We'll see Kang's son!" nurmala replied after a while of thought. Aldi nodded with his smile.

Aldi went out of the room to meet Pakde Jarno who was still connecting his cigarette.

"Tomorrow We come to Jakarta Pakde" said Aldi.
