89.



Today is a day of happiness and a day of sadness for Arum.She is happy, because she has married Fandi.But happiness was not able to reduce her sadness.She grieves because after marrying Fandi , she is , and he shall go out of his house for ever, not that which Arum mourns, but the farewell between him and his father.


Memory after memory is constantly present in his mind.He still remembers when he wanted something, whatever it will be granted by his father.


"Dad, I want a lot of ice cream, right?"said little Arum who was only six years old


Johan approached Arum, and stroked his little daughter's hair gently."Of course you can, but Arum eat only one.Then why Arum buy a lot?"ask Johan softly


"I want to give the ice cream to the children sitting there.I'm sure they want it." Arum said


Johan smiled softly."All right, do what you want, baby."


"Yeeeyyy... Thank you dad." said the excited little Arum, then he approached the ice cream seller."Om, buy his ice cream five yaa.later my father will pay for it." said Arum with his round eyes


The ice cream vendor wanted to melt when he saw Arum's sweet little smile."Of course sweet boy." said the ice cream seller,after that he gave it to Arum.Because Arum's hands are small and can not bring everything.Then Johan was the one who helped him bring the ice cream to the children who were sitting it.


"Hi.."sapa Arum with a smile.


"Hi too..!!"greet the children back


"Now, I love you ice cream.Take it!! I'll go first,dahhh!"said Arum, then gave them ice cream


"Thank you." said the children to Arum, Arum nodded quickly."You're welcome."


After that he and his father left the children.


Back again to Arum who sat daydreaming in the windshield of his father's car.Yaa, he and his husband and Faisal were in the car owned by Johan.Yang driving is Bastian, Bastian,Johan deliberately told his men to take Arum where he would live later.


"Arum, dear ....." Call Fandi, but she did not hear the call of the man who had been legally her husband.She was too cool with her daydream.Fandi sighed, too,he knew what his wife was thinking.Surely his wife kept thinking about the father-in-law.


Maybe this is the first time for Arum to part with his father.Lajar alone he continues to daydream and did not hear his call earlier.

The car driven by Bastian arrived at the boarding houses Fandi.Lalu Fandi went down and packed his belongings.He will soon return to the village and occupy the house he left.


"You sure you want to go home and resign from Bu Sofia's company?"faisal asked his friend


"Iya Fai, I have to do that.Again, I prefer to live in a peaceful village than in the city.If I live in a village, then the noisy vehicle will not be much.But I don't know Arum, I don't know,will he like the life of the village or not? I will try it first, if not forced to return to this city." said Fandi


"If that's your wish, I can't ban it. Be happy, my friend, and keep the message given by your father-in-law."


"certain."


Finished packing, Fandi and Faisal came out of his boarding houses.Fandi also paid to the boarding mother.Fandi also entered the car and went to the village banyan.Istrinya still like that, daydreaming near the car door.


"Honey."call Fandi, Arum immediately turned his head


"We're going to stay in the village, because that's my house.Do you want to?"ask Fandi gently


"I want to go, wherever Fandi took me.I'll come!"sahut Arum


"Thank you."


"Where are we going, sir?"ask Bastian to his employer's daughter-in-law


"We're going to the village banyan sir, please don't call mister.Just call my name, Fandi." said Fandi


"Good."


Then at medium speed, the car that Bastian drove towards the village banyan.


"You sleep baby, the journey we take is still far." said Fandi and avenged a small nod Arum.Fandi pulled Arum's body to nyender his chest.


Three hours later, they finally arrived in a cold village.There are only a few houses that use electricity, while most of the residents there use oil lamps and torches.


*********


After Arum's departure, Johan could only sigh and he went straight into Arum's room.Before Arum left, he secretly told auntie to enter the ATM, and then he went inside,five million gold and banknotes into Arum's suitcase.


Johan threw his body on the bed that belongs to Arum, he still smelled the perfume of his beloved daughter.Due to fatigue and thinking too much, finally Johan overslept on the mattress belonging to his daughter.


No matter how many hours Johan was asleep, suddenly his phone rang.She rubbed his face and saw his phone.Seeing on the screen of his phone, that the one who called him was Bastian.


"Hallo Bas, what's wrong?"ask Johan


"I've been in the residence of Fandi and non Arum sir, they will live in a cold village" Bastian said


"Is it far from my house?"ask Johan


"A little more, about three hours drive by car, sir."so Bastian across there


"Lumayan is far away too. When are you coming home?"ask Johan


"Do you want me back?"bastian asked back


"Yes." Yeah."


"Good sir."


After hanging up the phone call,Johan rushed to his bathroom.Finished shower he immediately put on his clothes and headed back to Arum's room.He will occupy Arum's room from now on.Because the scent of his child's body is still felt in the room,this is the only way to entertain himself.


"Sir, do you want to eat now?"ask auntie to Johan


*********


After declining the belongings of Fandi and Arum, Bastian said goodbye to the newly married couple.


"Lho, why did you come home so soon sir? Have you stopped by my house yet?"ask Fandi


"Mr Johan has called me home. Again, sorry. One day if there is time, I will visit your house" Bastian said


"All right, thanks uncle. Because uncle has taken us to the house.Be careful in the street uncle." said Arum


"Thank you non."


Then Arum's father's assistant got into the car and left the courtyard of Fandi's house.The two couples immediately entered the house, because it was dusk.Then the residents were no longer outside the house.

They both went into the house, the house was a little dark because there was no light.


Fandi lights on his phone and he headed to the kitchen.Then take the oil lamp and turn it on.He went back outside and met his wife who was cleaning the room a little dusty.Padahat not long Fandi left the house.


"Sorry, this is the condition of my house now.I have not even connected electricity, because the cost is very large." said Fandi


"Mas, there's no need to force something that we can't have.I can live with you, just as long as you want to teach me and I will also learn to live like ordinary citizens."


"I'm sorry, I've brought you into trouble."


"Stop apologized, I don't care about living like this.As long as I can live with you, it already makes me happy."


Fandi hugged his wife, he was moved by her words."Mas promise, you will always be happy." said Fandi lirih


"Thank you." whisper Arum


After that, they again continued berberes.Saat Arum opened his suitcase, he was surprised by the ATM, gold and fractions of one hundred and five million.Since when the money was in his suitcase.Arum did not run out of thought,this must have been an aunt at her father's behest.


Although his father was disappointed in him, but his father was still paying attention to him.At once again Arum felt guilty to the father.


Sorry dad. Say it in the heart


Not felt, the time has shown at seven pm and the married couple feel hungry.


"You change clothes first, baby, we will go to Cik Jamilah stall and eat there." said Fandi


"Certainly mas?"ask Arum


"Yes." Yeah."


Then Arum changed his clothes, and so did Fandi.After that they headed to Cik Jamilah stall that was open until night.Of course the night will continue to open, because there the residents can watch TV owned by Wak Kasim, which is also very popular,ms Jamilah's Husband.


They just walk with a flashlight.Ten minutes later, finally they arrived in front of Cik Jamilah stall which is already very crowded with residents.


"Wah Fandi, bring the girl."


"Which girl do you have Fan with you, it's so pretty."


The citizens asked Fandi and Fandi immediately replied."Introduce, this is Arum my wife.We just got married."


"Good night everyone, salami." said Arum softly


"Well, so this is your wife. It's so pretty."


"Just gone, bring his wife Fandi hahaha home." said a father immediately laughed and answered another nod


"We've been dating for five years now.Then from that mas Fandi to the city and to my house, then married to me." said Arum politely


"Ohh, it's been a long time."


"If you've known him for a long time, it's a shame if you marry a young man like Fandi." said the man who said with a laugh earlier


"Why with Fandi?"asked Arum confused and a little annoyed, as her man began to insult her husband.And he will reply to the man, if insulting her husband.


"Already, not in ladeni.We come here to buy food dear."whispered Fandi, Fandi,


Then, Fandi ordered rice and side dishes to take home.Like his situation now began to heat up, so he decided to buy food and eat at home.Then he bought two bottles of water.


He knew if the man known by the call of Salim's juragan was often insulting him.Because he never rejected the feelings of his favorite daughter.However, Fandi never returned the man's insults.


Arum had not yet heard the words of her husband, the man known as the master said."Because he's just a poor young man and an orphan."


"Even though Fandi is poor and orphaned, I don't care.We also married because we love each other and what's wrong? Sometimes, the treasure can not guarantee happiness.Excuse me." said Arum firmly


Then Arum and her husband left the place after paying their order.Juragan Salim only grumbled annoyed with Arum's remark.


"What a doubt on that woman" said Salim


"Looks like she's not a woman from the bottom, juragan." said the juragan's men


"Omong is empty, if she is married to Fandi.Then she is poor."so yells the bellhop and leaves the stall with emotion
